Chapter 39: The Tragedy of the Horse
"How can one be an abomination without pitiful? Love and hate are on the line, isn't a woman trapped in love and bent on revenge a pitiful person? The man in white glanced at the man in black.
"In this way, in order to fulfill Master's last wish, I can only continue to stay in the palace to take care of the concubine according to Miss Wen's request, and in the room where he likes to play the piano the most, I accompanied him through the last time of his life." The man in white's eyes darkened.
"When he was dying, there was no one around him except me, and he told me that he had no shame to face his children, let alone His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty broke up his marriage and killed his lover, and he had no face to face His Majesty?" The man in black's eyes widened.
"yes!" The man in white sighed, "That's what I asked the colt at the time!" ”
"What did the colt say?" The man in black looked curious.
"When the horse heard my question, he just smiled faintly, and he told me, in fact, Your Majesty is not a ruthless person, the first king was already angry when he got married and went on a hunger strike, and had the intention of destroying his Jing family and the Wen family, it was His Majesty who pitied him for his deep affection for Miss Wen, so he persuaded her father to open up."
"Is this possible? This is too inconsistent with His Majesty's character? The man in black was confused.
"The horse told me that on the night of his accession to the throne, His Majesty had drunk all night of wine, and when he was drunk, he said to him, 'I have become king, and you will not be willing to see me?' What if you had Jing Peng's share and let me give up my life? It's a pity that you have the ability to write and martial arts, but you left me alone there, no matter how I pleaded, you refused to see me, I in this life, not only paid the wrong person, but also the wrong heart! ”
"Your Majesty said yes~" The man in black pursed his mouth.
"Well, Your Majesty drank too much and recognized the wrong person!" The man in white nodded.
"But that man is not as ruthless as His Majesty describes?" The man in black was full of doubts.
"Things in the world, just like my prescription to catch medicine, how can it be as simple as it seems on the surface! If the colt hadn't been young and ignorant, Miss Wen wouldn't have died so painfully! The man in white shook his head.
"Alas! I have no worries all my life, and once I am trapped by love, the potential crisis is coming! The man in black sighed, and then asked, "What else did the colt say when he was dying?" ”
"He told me that he and His Majesty are poor people, he doesn't hate His Majesty, he just pities his own children." The man in white took a slow sip of wine.
"He told me that he lived thirty-eight years, and twenty-two of them were happy, and what about his children?" A mist appeared in the eyes of the man in white.
"From the moment they were born, they were reduced to pawns in the struggle for power, and in the carefree days he once had, his children had only shackles and fears, but fortunately, he finally saw Hong'er in his lifetime, who he had never met!" A smile appeared on the corner of the man in white's mouth.
"The horse dragged the sick and weak body, guarding the seriously injured Hong'er day and night, in the month when Hong'er was recuperating, it was the happiest month in his more than ten years in the palace, he poured his debt to Hong'er, and the few lives he had left, into this month......
"When Hong'er knew his life experience and threw him an inquiry, his eyes were moist, this child who had lacked family affection since he was a child, finally recognized him as a father in his heart, he couldn't describe the satisfaction in his heart, he only knew that his heart had already been broken, and finally after sixteen years, he felt a strong warmth for the first time."
He looked at Chen'er and Yun'er standing beside Hong'er, and finally felt the happiness of having a home! It was the first time he had been with his children, and probably the last. The man in white recounted slowly.
"Although the colt has paid the price for his youthfulness, he is really a poor man!" The man in black couldn't help but say.
"Yes! I have been with the colt for nearly 16 years, although the pony's body is not strong, but if you take care of it, you will not die so early, and the pony will eventually die of depression! The man in white also sighed.
"Death of melancholy? Did the colt follow his lover after all? The man in black asked in surprise.
"Probably not!" The man in white shook his head, "Since Miss Wen's younger brother inherited the throne of Wen Yuan, he has basically been relieved. ”
"A person who can't control his self-control with deep affection, can he still let go?" The man in black looked puzzled.
"Well, this is really difficult for him, but when he secretly worshiped Miss Wen when he returned home, he was hit by his father, and the angry General Jing moved his family law against him at that time, and reprimanded him, saying that he was a husband, but it was really disloyal to others! It is unfilial to say that he is the son of man, but he does not know the reason! It is unrighteous to say that he is a father, but he does not fulfill his responsibilities! ”
"Infidelity! Unfilial! Unrighteousness! This hat buckle is a bit big! The man in black interjected.
The man in white glanced at the man in black with disdain, and then said: "His father also said that the most wrong thing he did in his life was to let him give up martial arts and learn literature, if he practiced martial arts, he would not meet Miss Wen, and if he didn't meet Miss Wen, he would not live like he is now."
"The horse has been weak and sick since he was a child, how can he withstand the punishment of the family law, if it weren't for his mother's pleading, he would have been beaten to death by General Jing Lao long ago."
"His father also hates iron and steel!" The man in black said lightly.
"It's not just hatred of iron that doesn't make steel!" The man in white poured a glass of wine, "Old General Jing hates the self-righteous Lord Wenyuan even more!" Not only did he harm a pair of children from one side to another, but even more harmed his general's mansion in danger, and there was no peace for a day! ”
"Where do you start?" The man in black had a puzzled look on his face.
"The old woman Jing told the horse with tears in her eyes, saying that the tragedy between him and Miss Wen could not be blamed entirely on King Feilang, for the children of a nobleman like them, the marriage of their children was a strong alliance, and if it weren't for the fact that the county lord of the Feilang clan was already famous, they would never dare to give him a private engagement." The man in white looked emotional.
"Actually, the misfortune of him and Miss Wen is completely avoidable, and it is all because Wen Yuan is short-sighted and did not follow his father's advice!"
"Wait, I'm getting more and more confused about what you're saying! Their tragedy ultimately sacrificed Miss Wen, why is the culprit Wen Yuan? The man in black interrupted the man in white's narration.
The man in white picked up the wine bottle and filled a glass of wine for the two of them before continuing: "According to Mrs. Jing, since the generals of the north and the south secretly competed with each other regardless of the righteousness of worshipping Jin Lan, the old general Jing was quite worried, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he also personally went to Wenyuan to discuss, hoping to hold a wedding for the two of them as soon as possible."
"But Wen Yuan scoffed at General Jing's suggestion, he thought that this was completely General Jing's whimsy, and said that martial artists only know how to fight on the battlefield, but they don't know anything about human ethics, he said that although the northern and southern generals are not compatible for a while, but the children are married to the family, it is a sure thing, not to mention that His Royal Highness the county lord is already pregnant, even for the sake of His Royal Highness the county lord, General Fei Lang will compromise, so in the end, General Jing Lao can only hold back his anger and leave the Wenyuan Mansion."
"The literati are pedantic, and they really live up to their reputation!" The man in black couldn't help but interject again.
"In this way, on a cold morning when the breath can freeze, the county lord with a sickly face was sent back to General Ferrand's general's mansion, and General Ferrand set himself up as king in a fit of rage. The man in white sighed helplessly.
"Affectionate beings are always ruthlessly hurt, and behind every emotional wound, there is an untold story. Since then, the horse has slowly shifted his attention to the second son, he accompanied him in the general's palace to practice martial arts, and personally taught him piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in the palace for more than ten years, in addition to Her Majesty's harsh criticism and disdain for him, he lived indifferently. The man in white picked up the wine in front of him and drank it slowly.
"It's just that the horse has always been preoccupied, as the second son grows up, the melancholy in his eyes is getting heavier and heavier, he always plays the tear-jerking song under the moon alone, and plays it over and over again, until the second son learns, the second son sits under the tree and plays, and he stands under the night and watches ......"
"Only I know that he is thinking of His Royal Highness Hong Shizi who is wandering alone, he doesn't dare to ask Your Majesty, but he can't help but feel sad, and over time, his body has already become the end of a strong crossbow."
"There is only one wish that can make him persevere, and that is the wish to see His Royal Highness Hong Shizi!" The man in white couldn't help but sigh.
"So his wish came true, and the people followed?" The man in black said to himself.
"What about wishes?" The man in white shook his head.
"After getting along with His Royal Highness Hong Shizi for a month, his worries have become heavier, he is afraid that His Royal Highness Hong Shizi will live in the shadow of His Majesty all his life, and he is even more afraid that His Royal Highness Hong Shizi will be lonely all his life, so at the last moment of confusion, he asked me to find a suitable opportunity to take care of His Royal Highness Hong Shizi."
"You are really my good junior brother, the colt has passed away for more than ten years, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The man in black stood up suddenly.
"What about telling you?" The man in white looked at him quietly.
"I still have the ability to transfer you here." The man in black said slightly angrily.
"You can indeed help me come to His Royal Highness Hong Shizi, but is His Royal Highness Hong Shizi willing to believe me and treat me as his cronies?" The man in white looked disdainful.
"Well, that can't!" The man in black was speechless for a moment.
"I can't become a confidant of His Royal Highness Hong Shizi, why am I here?" The man in black sat down again.
"So for more than ten years, I have had no choice but to wait in the palace! Luckily, I waited for this day. The man in white smiled with relief.
"When I saw that cold face that I had been looking forward to for more than ten years, I couldn't suppress the joy in my heart. I know he's going to be inseparable from me soon! The man in white looked confident.
"I have to say, you've made it!" The man in black said sincerely.
"On the surface, it is, but in fact it is still far away, and only by watching His Royal Highness Hong Shizi and Miss Yuwei hold hands together, can I be regarded as a real success." The man in white said lightly.
"You know, this is absolutely impossible, Your Majesty will never agree to the two of them together!" The man in black frowned.
"This is the Erduo tribe, Your Majesty's hand can't stretch that long!" The man in white stared at the man in black intensely. "Unless you help the iniquity!"
