Chapter 31: The Human Heart (4)
(Go to the net.) The night shrouds the silent Xiaoming Palace with a layer of quiet atmosphere, and then with the little ever-bright lights looking around, it is like the underworld. Go to the net --.7-K--o-m. In the empty mourning hall, the dark black coffin of the Queen Mother was particularly eye-catching.
Yuan Zhixun waved his hand, and the few palace maids who were waiting in front of the spirit immediately retreated. I tried to calm my breath, walked step by step to the spiritual seat, and solemnly said goodbye to the Queen Mother, who had escaped from the distractions of the world. The deceased is gone, may her soul rest in peace.
Yuan Zhixun also came to my side, picked up a string of paper money and lit the lantern in front of the spirit, in the flickering firelight, his eyes were slightly sunken, and his face was gloomy. Test text watermark 7.
"What are you doing?" Yuan Zhixun glanced at me, who was praying silently, looking curious.
"Pray for the Queen Mother, hoping that in another world, she can live happily. I smiled feebly at him and picked up a string of paper money and lit it.
"When the queen mother was dying, she told me about you, and she said that she was most sorry for you. Yuan Zhixun didn't look at me when he said this, his eyes focused on the small tablet on that side.
"It's nothing," seeing his apologetic look, I didn't think there was any fuss: "Although the first emperor objected to me being with Zhize, he finally agreed, it's nothing, really." Test Text Watermark 9. ”
"That's not what I'm talking about. Yuan Zhixun looked at me and obviously accentuated his tone: "The crimes committed by the first emperor and the queen mother against you are irreparable. ”
What a strange word, I was stunned for a moment, and put back the string of paper money that I had already held in my hand. Inadvertently, my mind suddenly crossed the strange words that the emperor said to me when he first met our family of three. What the hell is going on?
"They... On the day you got married, in your wine... Scattered!" In the face of my question, Yuan Zhixun seemed to have made a lot of determination to force himself to answer this question. Test text watermark 7.
That is to say, on the night of marriage, the cup of acacia wine given by the emperor that I drank in Jingyang Palace was poisonous? The sudden situation made my eyes darken, and my hand unconsciously moved to the position of my chest.
"The heart is colorless and tasteless, and the woman who takes it by mistake will not have any uncomfortable reaction on her body, so your life is not in danger. "Yuan Zhixun knows very well what I'm worried about at the moment, so he can always predict the prophet.
Before I could catch my breath, his next words almost crushed me. Test text watermark 7. "Absolute Heart Powder is a secret recipe circulating in the palace, and very few people know it, even many imperial doctors have not heard of it. Its biggest effect is to make the poisoned woman lose, lose... A chance to be a mother!"
No wonder, no wonder Zhi Ze and I have been married for so long, and we don't have a child that belongs to the two of us. Am I not their daughter-in-law, why did I do this to me? What did I do wrong to punish me in such a harsh way? I sat down on the ground, looking at the green smoke rising in front of me, and muttered to the soul that had long since dissipated.
"It's... That's the case," Yuan Zhixun cleared his throat in embarrassment and said: "I heard the queen mother say that the eldest brother decided to marry you at that time, and the father was very dissatisfied. Test Text Watermark 5. Because he originally wanted his eldest brother to inherit the throne. At that time, in his opinion, the eldest brother's marriage to a commoner woman was a blasphemy against the emperor's authority. But the eldest brother has always insisted, so he is also very embarrassed..."
"The mother's distress is clear to the queen mother, so the queen mother gave her father a trick and made a desperate distraction in your acacia wine... You know, in the palace, if a woman doesn't have children of her own, no matter how high her status is, it's unreliable... They want the eldest brother to abandon you by himself..."The last words, Yuan Zhixun said very hard. Test Text Watermark 9.
Listening to Yuan Zhixun's story, everything has been revealed, forget it, since it can't be changed, so be it. I took a deep breath, wiped away the tears that filled my eyes, and continued to pick up the paper money on the table with trembling hands to see off the woman who had made it impossible for me to be a mother again in this life.
"If you want to scold, scold it. Yuan Zhixun suddenly grabbed my hand and looked at me with regret: "Since I have decided to tell you the truth, I am not afraid of the consequences of this." I know, you don't feel good in your heart, don't hold back. ”
"It's all in the past, what's the point of crying and making trouble?" I forced a smile, pushed Yuan Zhixun's hand away, and watched in a daze as the string of paper money in front of me disappeared in the brazier, and finally only a pile of black fragments remained. Test Text Watermark 9. And my heart at this moment, how can it not be like this?
Regarding my reaction, Yuan Zhixun pointed to the spirit card in front of him in surprise and asked, "Don't you really hate her?"
"The Queen Mother also asked me this question," I smiled at him, and said lightly, "She also asked me if I would hate her that day, and I told her that I wouldn't." Because no matter what she did, I will never forget that it was she who gave me the opportunity to become Zhize's wife. Test text watermark 8. ”
I stared blankly at the flickering candlelight, finally convincing myself to accept this cold reality before tears took over my vision once more. Life is cruel, and no matter what comes your way, you can only face it calmly.
"I really don't hate anyone, not even the first emperor. Because the first emperor had already humbled me for this, although I didn't know the truth at that time. I looked at Yuan Zhixun on the side, and suddenly felt that the roles of the two of us were reversed at the moment, and it was more like I was enlightening him.
"You can't be a mother, and you don't care?" Yuan Zhixun slanted his eyes at me, wanting to find something under my calm appearance. Test Text Watermark 5.
"Who said I'm not a mother?" I smiled and hugged my arms tightly with both hands: "I'm not Lin'er, Lin'er is my child." ”
Yuan Zhixun looked at me, he didn't speak for a long time, his eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Xiaoxiao, just promise me, I will use my life to protect you and care for you, and I will not let you suffer the slightest harm. Yuan Zhixun slowly hugged me in his arms and muttered with pity: "I can't make you the queen, just because I need a son to inherit the country passed down from my ancestors, but I swear, I will only love you alone!"
In the past, I showed great rejection for Yuan Zhixun's slightly intimate actions, but today I did not resist, and everything was obedient to his wishes. Test Text Watermark 6. I'm tired, really tired, and need a shoulder to lean on to rest my feet on the long journey.
"Your Majesty, don't you think it's too unfair to the Empress and your other concubines by doing this?"
"As long as we're happy, why don't we care so much!" Yuan Zhixun heard the meaning of my words, and shook my shoulders desperately, trying to make me change my mind.
"Your Majesty, accept your fate, we are destined not to come together, maybe this is fate, although I admit that the emperor does have true feelings for me, but there is a place in my heart, and I can only let Zhize stay forever. "Under his almost crazy obsession, all I could do was refuse.
"Your Majesty, you promise your concubines. Seeing that he didn't speak, he was probably re-evaluating my future with him, and I lost no time in pointing out the way out for him: "When Zhize comes back, I won't tell him about the things between us, just treat these as secrets between the two of us in this life, you continue to be your emperor, so that Zhize and I can live our own lives, okay?"
"I didn't expect you to be so stupid," Yuan Zhixun glanced at me contemptuously, and asked coldly: "Your life belongs to you? Have you ever thought that if the eldest brother knew that you couldn't have children, would he still stay with you for the rest of his life?
