@MaryThomas, I am sorry to ask, but who's Axiu? Thank you for your answer!
During LB's exile, he made peace with several Hun clans. This allowed the empire to move into the territory. Axiu was the only surviving son of one of the major tribal clan leaders in the region. They ( LB amd CCS) met him along the road on their move there post marriage. LB had become the governor for the newly formed state. Axiu had been very weak at birth and so according to the witch doctors customs, was dressed as a girl. Meanwhile, CCS for safety was cross dressing as a guy lol! He teased her about marrying her. Of course that didn't go down so well with LB LOL! And so that first meeting was slightly a disaster. Later, he was always around their house either for training or education purposes. They grew to really care for him. He did grow uo and have children of his own, and even became chief of his tribe, but died fairly young. We know from the YS epilgoue portion that they had already buried her grandmother and parents, the Emporer and Empress, and had their children settled into marriages and positions and even has grandchildren at this point (YS had children and grandchildren too). When CSS and LB found out he had died, it triggered then to try to spend the rest of their lives the way they had wanted too before. Here is a quote from that epilogue. This is between Chen Gong her twin brother, and YS, they are in YS's carriage and heading to her Huo mansion at his insistence. He is confused after a long illness and insistent that it is the day of the Lantern Festival even though it is not. Please pardon it, I didn't clean up the English much, just the pronouns:
You remember everything, only, only forget that Shaoshang has left.." He choked and couldn't say any more.
Yuan Shen murmured, as if in a dream: "So she's gone... I remember it.
"She said that she wants to live the rest of her life happily.
"She hopes that the sun will shine brightly every day. , the spring breeze won't stop. lf you die in the future, no matter where you are, you just need to be buried with Huo Zisheng.
But, didn't you promise that you would be buried in Yuan's ancestral tomb with me in the future?
Shao Gong's tears became more fierce, but Yuan Shen patted him on the back lightly and comforted: "It's okay, when you get older, you will always forget things.
Young Gong, don't feel bad for me, Shao Shang is not. Choosing the wrong person, Huo Budo treats her very well. He has kept her in his heart fothe time before them. Hou couldn't bear to let the previous emperor fight alone, so he had to stay in the court. The new emperor succeeded to the throne. He assisted him for years
Strength, shoulders collapsed like a real old
man.
He said in a low voice, "l remember, they left
half a year ago. Shao Shang also said that he didn't plan to return to the capital again.
Here, she sent away the Queen Mother Xuan, and then sent away Emperor Wen and Yue. The queen, the elder of the Cheng family, and then received the news of the death of the little chieftain, who sent off the late emperor three years ago-she doesn't want to come back here again." The atmosphere in the car was stagnant, and after a long time, Yuan Shenqiang said with a smile: "Look at me, I'm really confused, and l actually forgot about this. It seems that l'd better get old in advance, so as not to miss the important affairs of the court.
Shao Gong couldn't bear it any longer, and sh
ed old tears: "No, you Your memory has always been very good, you, you just had a serious illness.
After the illness, you remember everything.
