Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Touch of Tenderness in Memory

"The descendants of the successive Hua kings are scarce, and the brothers often kill each other in order to compete for the throne, and the same clan within seven generations of our Yuan family has been killed by the successive Hua kings, naturally, I must be indispensable in this fratricidal Hua king."

Yuan Chengcheng listened quietly, but he was not too surprised in his heart. The same clan of the Yuan clan died so cleanly, she naturally would not be naΓ―ve to think that the Yuan family was really a single transmission of seven generations, but she loved her father far more than the truth of the matter, so she would rather believe those that had nothing to do with her father.

"I am the eldest son of the first king, and the only son he has ever grown up alive from. Some of my royal brothers died in floods, some in fires, and some died inexplicably. My father thought that it was because he killed his siblings in his early years, so he caused heavenly retribution and his son could not survive, but no one knew that all this was actually from me and the mother and son of the first queen. ”

"What I've been doing every day since I was sensible is thinking about how to harm my siblings to please my mother, she is a very insecure woman, anyone who may pose a threat to her will spare no effort to get rid of him, sometimes I even wonder if the person who threatens her is me, she will get rid of me, and soon my questions will be answered."

"The first queen had only one son, but when I was twelve years old she had a second son. Since the birth of Brother Wang, the relationship between our mother and son has been irreparably reversed, she is always on guard against me to attack that child, but I hurt people for her, that child is her son and my own brother, how can I harm him? Things developed more and more irretrievably, and in the end she tried to kill me several times in order to protect the sick seedling. When Yuan Kejin said this, his dim eyes were overflowing with crystal water, and the shock in Yuan Chengcheng's heart turned into infinite pity the moment he saw the tears in his father's eyes, what in this world is more worthy of sympathy than the persecution of relatives against each other?

"That's when I was at the height of my anger, I hurt her if she hurt me, but I'm still a child after all, how can I fight her? She caught me right when I made a move, delivered me into the hands of the king, and blamed me for all the crimes of the past. The first king was mad and beat me almost half to death with his own whip, but at that time he only had two sons, and the other was still in weak health, and he did not kill me in the end, but imprisoned me. ”

Obviously, it was the darkest period of King Hua's life, but his eyes were extremely gentle in that dark memory: "No one came to see me, even if I was once a prince, but once I was imprisoned, no one came to see me." Only one of the little palace maids who delivered food was assigned to serve me, and she was the only one in the prison who still offered me as a prince. She was very timid, I told her ghost stories when I was bored, she was so scared that she couldn't sleep at night, but she didn't dare to lean on me, she could only shiver alone in the night, and I knew her fear, but I still happy to scare her. ”

"She entered the palace at a very young age, and she didn't see much of the outside world, so I told her nonsense about the outside world, and she didn't even suspect a word, and occasionally when I was not in such a bad mood, I would falsely promise her that I would take her to travel all over the world once I went out, so she was looking forward to me getting out of prison every day, but I lied to her, I never thought of taking her away."

"She is timid and serves the prince in distress without a backstage, the people in the palace often bully her, she has nowhere to complain, only when she is in prison dare to cry, but I was violent and impatient at that time, I will scold her when she cries, she thinks that I will not let her cry in front of me because I hate her, but I didn't know at that time, her crying will make me upset because I fell in love with her."

Yuan Chengcheng always thought that his father had only loved his mother in his life, and she had never even heard his father mention the palace maid, according to his father, the age gap between the two of them was not big, that person should not be the queen mother, so where did the little palace maid go?

"I was fifteen years old at the time, and the world I knew was only killing and exploiting, and I didn't know I was in love with her. On my father's birthday, I begged her to let me out, and I don't know where she got the courage to really agree to me. That night, while she was celebrating in the palace, she let me go, and I sneaked back to the palace of the first queen, planning to give in to her and beg her to save me, but I did not expect to learn from her conversation with the first king that she was not my biological mother, and my biological mother probably died at her hands. ”

"I've decided to find out everything, but only if I'm released. I went back to prison and wrote a confession, and she took it to the king to plead for mercy, but she was just a lowly slave, so what could she do? I don't know how much it cost her, but she did it. The first king happened to be seriously ill, and he was afraid that once he went, the first queen would attack me again, so he took advantage of the situation and let me out. I asked the first king to be my maidservant, and after I came out, I have been restrained, so I have to be very pleasing to the first king. The queen still regarded me as the greatest threat, and did not hesitate to attack her own son, poisoning the sick man half to death and blaming me. The queen decided that she was cowardly and easy to extract confessions, so she was arrested. ”

"She was very afraid of pain, and once when I was in prison, my hand was cut by the mouth of the bowl, and she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to look at my wounds, but in the face of the queen's forced confession, she didn't say a word to frame me until she died." A tear crossed the corner of King Hua's eye, and Yuan Chengcheng had already cried into tears.

"The poisoning thing is over, I am more and more restrained in front of the first king, and the first king is more and more satisfied with me, and finally the position of the new king is between me and the sick brother The first king chose me. My younger brother died soon after, and I don't deny that his death had something to do with the medicine I had given him. As for the first queen, I treat her as my own mother, and I respect her and be filial to her, so that she can live well and see how I conquer the world step by step. ”

"I expanded the Huawang Palace, selected the beauties of all countries as concubines, and then fought in the south and the north to expand the territory. You often marvel at the exploits of King Ning in defeating five cities in one month, but you don't know that your father once conquered four countries in one month at the most, and is the true god of the battlefield. I am brave in battle, vast in territory, and have countless beautiful women, I have fulfilled the dreams of all men in the world, but I am not happy. ”
