Chapter 143: The Aftermath
In the spring of the second year of Longxiang, the Empress Dowager Mingde Dugu Qimeng died of illness, and the whole country mourned. The Empress Dowager Mingde was virtuous and virtuous during her lifetime, but after the death of the first emperor, the Empress Dowager Mingde became depressed and became ill and followed the first emperor.
When the Empress Dowager Mingde was alive, her reputation was always very good. When she died of illness, the people of Shangjing also mourned.
This time, Dongfang Qianyu did not pretend, only stayed in the mourning hall for a while, and then found an excuse to be busy with state affairs and handed over all trivial matters to Ouyang Leadhua.
Behind Ouyang Leadhua knelt Dongfang Qianhua, Dongfang Qianwen, and Dongfang Zixi. It's coming, only these four people send her to the end. Ouyang Leadhua's thoughts drifted away, remembering what the Empress Dowager Dugu told her before she died, she still hadn't come back to her senses for a long time.
What has been puzzled before, today finally has an answer. It turned out that in Dongfang Yunlong's heart, the woman he loved the most was not Ouyang Ronghua, but her mother Dongfang Ziyan. Dongfang Ziyan is the righteous sister of Dongfang Yunlong, and Emperor Huixiang had no daughters under his knees, so he had to adopt Dongfang Ziyan, the daughter of the clan, to enter the palace, and the princess she recognized was originally for harmony. So I have been raising a princess with a relative, so that one day I can be a relative of the underworld.
Dongfang Ziyan was given such a mission early, Dongfang Yunlong was already the crown prince at that time, and it was impossible not to know about this matter. However, as Dongfang Ziyan became more and more beautiful, he found that he had fallen in love with this sister. However, he can marry any woman, but he can't marry Dongfang Ziyan.
That year, the Three Kingdoms Dynasty Meeting. Ouyang Zhen fell in love with Dongfang Ziyan at first sight, which was also in line with Emperor Huixiang's wish at that time. Ouyang Zhen's dowry was extremely rich, giving Emperor Huixiang enough face. However, the only one who is unhappy is Dongfang Yunlong. He knelt in the ancestral hall for two days and two nights. Emperor Huixiang still refused to agree to him.
Dongfang Ziyan is the princess of the underworld and the sister of Dongfang Yunlong. There is absolutely no room for turning around in this matter. Emperor Huixiang even threatened him with the position of crown prince. Ordered Dongfang Yunlong to cut love.
The end of the matter is that Dongfang Ziyan married away from the country, and Dongfang Ziyan's favorite is purple, so since she left, Dongfang Yunlong also prefers purple, and after he ascended the throne, he changed all the hues of the underworld to purple tones.
Later, it was Ouyang Ronghua and the pro-underworld, Ouyang Ronghua actually knew that Dongfang Yunlong didn't love him. Still without hesitation, her sincerity finally moved Dongfang Yunlong, but she unfortunately had a difficult birth. Incense and jade died.
On the day Dugu Qimeng married into the underworld, she also thought that Dongfang Yunlong was in love with Ouyang Ronghua. There is a portrait of Ouyang Ronghua in Bihua Palace, and Dongfang Yunlong has been carefully guarded. Since Ouyang Ronghua's death, Dongfang Yunlong has sealed Bihua Palace. Except for himself. No one was allowed to set foot in that place, including Ouyang Ronghua's son, Dongfang Qianyu, who was born as the crown prince.
Until that day, Dugu Qimeng finally boldly walked into the forbidden land, and saw Dongfang Yunlong's privacy hidden in the bottom of his heart, it turned out that the deepest portrait in Bihua Palace was not Ouyang Ronghua, but Dongfang Ziyan. The portrait has long been dried by the years, but the woman in the portrait. Although Dugu Qimeng had never seen it, he still saw the name "Ziyan" under the portrait.
Bihua Palace was originally actually the residence of Dongfang Ziyan and his relatives. Therefore, all the affection of Dongfang Yunlong is given to the world-famous princess Ronghua in the eyes of outsiders. Even Dongfang Qianyu thought so, so whenever Dongfang Yunlong was strict with him, he would always think of the queen mother he had never seen.
On that day, Dongfang Qianyu knelt in the ancestral hall and sneaked to Bihua Palace. The portrait of the woman in the Bihua Palace is his mother. However, he accidentally discovered the secret room, and the portrait on the secret room was not his mother, but Dongfang Ziyan.
Dongfang Qianyu is like being struck by lightning, the three kingdoms know that Dongfang Yunlong and Ouyang Ronghua are deeply in love, and his father is often alone in Bihua Palace, but he didn't expect that all this is fake. Dongfang Qianyu couldn't accept such a blow. Even Dongfang Yunlong's care for Dongfang Qianhua and Dongfang Qianwen every time, he was extremely afraid.
His queen mother is not the woman his father loves the most, so what is left of him? Queen Dugu is also a queen, and his son is also a son-in-law. If one day he really upsets his father, his father will really abolish him.
This kind of insecure days of gains and losses made him more and more ruthless. Because when he was born, Ouyang Ronghua had a difficult birth, so he was frail and sickly since he was a child. He didn't know how long he would live, but his father was in the prime of life, and Dongfang Qianhua and Dongfang Qianwen were also in good health. If this continues, he will only die on the throne of his crown prince, and how can he have a chance to ascend the throne as emperor?
So at that time, he began to continuously cultivate his own forces and constantly assassinate Dongfang Qianhua. It is also a chronic poison in the diet of Dongfang Yunlong and Dugu Qimeng.
When all this was spread out in front of Ouyang Leadhua, Ouyang Leadhua only felt infinite melancholy, in this world, people can't live as they wish, and life is always not what they imagined. But it is only greed that destroys everything.
Dongfang Zixi cried and fainted several times, and even Dongfang Qianhua did not enter a drop of rice, kneeling straight in front of the mourning hall.
When Ouyang Leadhua walked to the mourning hall with the food box, it was already a child, Dongfang Qianwen had already gone back to rest, and Dongfang Zixi had already fainted a few times. The only person who guards the spirit is Dongfang Qianhua, at this time most of the palace maids have dispersed, Dongfang Qianhua refuses to eat, Ouyang Leadhua can't bear it, knelt in front of Dongfang Qianhua with a food box, and said softly: "Qianhua, eat something, the queen mother will not want to see you like this." ”
Dongfang Qianhua didn't speak, his face was as pale as paper, he looked like this, it seemed that he would fall down as soon as the wind blew. Ouyang Leadhua unconsciously left tears, and choked up: "Qianhua, eat something, just think it's for me." ”
Dongfang Qianhua had a little expression at this time, looked at Ouyang Leadhua and said: "Hua'er, I don't believe that the queen mother died of illness, you must know the truth, and Imperial Doctor Sheng must also know, why are you unwilling to tell me?" ”
Ouyang Qianhua was stunned, this time, she really had no way to speak, looking at Ouyang Leadhua's swallowed appearance, Dongfang Qianhua continued: "That day in the Century Mansion, you told me that my father's death had nothing to do with him, and I believed you." This time, I want you to look me in the eye and tell me that the death of my father and mother has nothing to do with Dongfang Qianyu. ”
When the night breeze blew, Ouyang Leadhua shivered, but no matter how cold he was, he couldn't resist the coldness. Dongfang Qianhua looked straight at Ouyang Leadhua, Ouyang Leadhua only felt that the gaze was like a sword, piercing into Ouyang Leadhua's heart fiercely, and she lost consciousness in pain.
