Chapter 25: The Middle Palace (2)

The moment he saw her, Pei Wanqing's extremely dim eyes suddenly burst into a terrifying light.

Pei Wanqing seemed to use all her strength, firmly grasped her hand, and her long nails pinched into the back of her hand, leaving a few deep red marks: "Wanru, you are finally back." You're back so nice! ”

She was kind and relieved, but Pei Wanqing couldn't listen to a word. He said these two sentences over and over again, with a strange excitement, like crying and laughing, like crazy.

Pei Qin, the elder brother who was standing on the side, was also looking at her with strange eyes.

She gradually became a little uneasy, and her heart was inexplicably clouded with a layer of gloom.

She wanted to withdraw her hand and wanted to get up and leave. But Pei Wanqing held her hand tightly, like a dying person grasping a life-saving straw.

"Big brother," she looked at Pei Qin for help: "Ah Rong is still young, and he can't leave me for a moment." I've been out for so long, it's time to go back. ”

Pei Qin looked at her and said slowly: "Your sister-in-law will take good care of Jinrong." You stay with peace of mind. ”

What does it mean that the sister-in-law will take good care of Jinrong?

What does it mean to stay in peace?

She chuckled in her heart and pretended to be calm: "I'll come to visit my eldest sister again tomorrow." ”

Pei Qin hooked the corners of his mouth and pulled out a chilling smile: "From today on, you will be Wanqing." If you don't stay here, you want to go anywhere! ”

What do you mean?!

She was both shocked and angry, and shook off Pei Wanqing's hand suddenly, and Huo Ran got up: "You...... Ridiculous! I'm Pei Wanru! How could it be Pei Wanqing! ”

With that, she turned and left.

At some point, the door was shut.

She couldn't open the door even with all her might. Anxious and frightened, she shouted loudly: "Someone! Come on! I'm going out! ”

Qing Dailan, who was guarding the edge of the bed, stared at her tightly.

Pei Qin's face was expressionless, and his eyes showed cruelty and mockery.

Pei Wanqing, who was dying on the bed, suddenly laughed. The pleasant voice of the past was coarse and obscure at this time: "Pei Wanru!" Don't waste your mind. I'm not in good health, and I won't live for a few days. Since you are back, be my stand-in obediently! ”

"The crown princess of the Great Chu Dynasty, the future queen of the middle palace, the mother of the world, is in charge of the six palaces! This is an honor that all women in the world can only dream of! It just falls on top of you! Why wouldn't you be happy? ”

"If you weren't born like me, how could such a good thing be your turn?"

Her whole body shook violently, and her voice was hoarse: "I am married and have a daughter." I am Cheng's wife. How can you do this to me! Hurry up and let me out! ”

This is a crime of deception!

These two siblings are crazy! How dare you come up with such a crazy idea!

Pei Wanqing's pale face swelled with a strange red tide, and a pair of eyes flashed with an almost crazy light: "Pei Wanru! You shouldn't do it! ”

"You have to firmly occupy the position of the crown princess for me, and you have to protect my children. Especially Atai, who is the grandson of the emperor. In the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inherit the throne, and my Atai will be the only prince. The future prince of Great Chu can only be my son. ”

Pei Qin coldly took over the conversation: "You obediently listen to my orders, Cheng Wang still has a chance to live." and Cheng Jinrong, a two-year-old girl, if she is not careful, she will die! ”

"What to do, you have thought it through!"

She seemed to be choked by the throat and froze in place, her whole body cold without a trace of heat.

Tears kept sliding down her eyes.

……

From that day on, she was locked up in a secret room, forced to take medication, and her otherwise healthy body soon weakened. Every day, Qingdai and Woad came to teach her to learn Pei Wanqing's expressions and speech.

If she doesn't cooperate a little, her poor daughter Jinrong will have an "accident". Or "accidentally" falling, or accidentally eating something you shouldn't eat.

Pei Qin took the young Jinrong outside the secret room.

Through the door, she heard her little daughter crying and crying for her mother.

Her heart was like a knife, and her tears were like springs, but she couldn't make a sound. Because her mouth and nose have long been covered.

She is not afraid of death, but her Jinrong is still so young, she hasn't had time to grow up yet! How could she give it up?

Two months later, Pei Wanqing closed her eyes and died.

On that day, "Pei Wanru" fell into the water and died. The body was buried in the Pei family cemetery. No one knows that it was Pei Wanqing who was buried in the cemetery.

The real Pei Wanru put on Pei Wanqing's clothes, was helped into a gorgeous carriage, and sent to the palace.

Qingdai and Xianglan stalked day and night, and the palace people who served were secretly bribed by Yong'an Hou with a lot of money. She is tightly bound by invisible nets and acts as a puppet stand-in in the palace.

"Pei Wanqing" is not in good health, recuperating all day long, and almost no outsiders are seen. She lay on the bed for more than two years before she gradually recovered. In this way, the slight change in her appearance, words and deeds is also logical, and it does not arouse anyone's suspicion.

The prince is good at martial arts, and often personally leads troops to fight, and he does not spend much time in the palace. is in the palace, and most of them stay in the bedroom of Concubine Zheng.

After her health improved, the prince came to visit in person, and then it was logical to stay overnight.

The next day, she fell ill again.

This time, instead of pretending to be sick, she really couldn't hold on.

She was forced to be Pei Wanqing's stand-in, but she never forgot her husband who loved her deeply and loved her deeply. Being forced to share a bed with another man made her feel sick and hopeless.

Let's die!

Close your eyes, and you don't need to suffer like this anymore.

She quickly became emaciated and emaciated, her food was hard to swallow, and she vomited in her mouth.

She blindly begged for death, Pei Qin was jealous, and she didn't dare to blindly force it anymore, so she changed to a gentle strategy.

Yong'an Hou and his wife came to the palace to visit and brought a portrait. The portrait is of a four-year-old girl. The girl is carved in pink, and her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to her father Cheng Wang.

She looked at the portrait and wept silently.

A few days later, she was diagnosed with a happy pulse.

No matter how much she hated herself, her instinct as a mother still prevailed in the end. She was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a son.

The crown prince already had five sons at this time, and although he loved the newborn young son, he did not attach too much importance to it. When choosing a name for your young son, show her several names.

She reached out and pointed to one of the names.

Chen, and Cheng homonym.

Her son's name is Yuanchen!

Every time she sees that fleshy little face, she doesn't like it. But what followed was unspeakable humiliation and indignation. It was like a thousand pounds of boulders, pressing on her heart.

She suffered from heart disease and was depressed all day.

Two years later, the crown prince ascended the throne as emperor, and the country name was Xuanhe. She was canonized as the Empress of the Middle Palace. Yuanchen, the sixth prince, who had just turned two years old, also moved into Yuqing Palace.

She can barely act in front of the second prince and Princess Shouning. In front of his own son, he couldn't squeeze out a real smile. The mother and son have always been cold and estranged and not close.

Yuanchen was sick, and he had his own palace people and imperial doctors to take care of him. Emperor Zheng, who is good at acting, visits the patient at least twice a day.

She's a mother, so it's okay if you don't go.

The soft glow of the candle flame casts a shadow on the light veil.

Empress Pei closed her eyes and fell asleep, tears on her face still dry.
