Chapter 660: Last Words
At that time, Queen Qi was still a little girl in the boudoir at that time, and she was the eldest lady raised by the Qi family's gold and jade.
There are countless people who come to the door to ask for relatives.
But she fell in love with Feng Geng, the most unpowerful prince at that time, at first she didn't know that Feng Geng had a childhood sweetheart, although she knew later, but she was afraid of being arrogant, and she didn't think she would lose to any girl.
Maybe there's an element of gambling in it.
She is still married to Feng Geng.
But she overestimated herself, Feng Geng always regarded her as a tool that could get power, when he needed her, he would speak softly, and when he didn't need her, he would put her away.
He married his sweetheart as he wished, and gave birth to a son with his sweetheart as he wished.
At that moment, Empress Qi's heart was actually dead.
For so many years, she has only one belief in her heart, she treats this queen well, and she can't give up the queen's position to that woman no matter what.
She even put away her true self for this. Mother of the world, she wants to be a role model for women in the world...... But what did she get? Feng Geng was terminally ill. Empress Qi felt that her life was not worth living, and she was wronged for herself. If she could start all over again, she would definitely not marry Feng Geng.
“…… At that time, my father asked me, "Would you like to?" My father and brother don't like you very much. They say that your qualifications are not the best among the princes, and that you are the weakest, but I heard you plead with my father one by one, and you said that you would definitely treat me well, and you said that although you could not give me the most honorable status, I must be the most noble in your house. ”
Feng Geng was stunned, did he ever say that?
It's been so long that he's forgotten it.
At that time, in order to marry Miss Qi and make the Qi family stand on his side, he could indeed do anything.
Emperor Geng fixed his gaze at Empress Qi, his wife.
In his life, he owes the most to the woman. In fact, she is not wrong, it is always him who is wrong.
He married her because of selfishness, and he had other women in his heart at that time, and there was nowhere to accommodate her.
But for the sake of his ambitions, he still tried every possible way to marry her. married her, and felt that she was superior, and felt that she looked down on him.
He had low self-esteem, and he felt that he could not hold his head up in front of her. In such days, until he married a side concubine and entered the door, and finally married his sweetheart, he felt that he was finally alive. He lingered in the courtyard of the concubine, laughing with his sweetheart all day long, and poured sweet words to other women as if they didn't spend money.
He found comfort in his sweetheart.
He was even more reluctant to appear in front of his wife.
Since he ascended the throne, they have seen each other less often, sometimes only three times a year. was also mostly at the palace banquet, when she sat in the main seat dignified and entertained the female dependents of officials.
No matter how many female dependents there are, the first thing you can see is always her.
Emperor Geng didn't want to admit it, as long as he saw Empress Qi from afar, he felt at ease.
Empress Qi couldn't help but laugh at herself when she saw Emperor Geng's expression. She had remembered those words for the rest of her life, but he had long forgotten them.
In fact, she really doesn't hate him now, she doesn't have the strength to hate him.
is getting older, and the things of love and love seem to have faded. She just wants to be safe and stable, not to seek merit, but to be without fault, which is why she even stopped her own son.
"The concubine didn't teach Lin'er well, so that he did such a big rebellious thing."
"It's not your fault, my father, I've never taught him well." Emperor Geng said in a low voice.
It's really self-blame, and I really feel guilty. If he hadn't been too selfish, Feng Lin wouldn't have been like this. Emperor Geng couldn't open his mouth to tell his wife about these things. It turned out that at the end of his life, she was the only one by his side.
In this life, he felt indebted to a woman.
"I thought you'd want me to pass on the throne to Lin'er."
“…… At the beginning, I really felt that Lin'er should inherit the unification, and I used all means to do so. But how many pounds and taels does his son have, can he be a mother? Lin'er is not that material, instead of reluctantly supporting him to take the position, it is better to ask him for a way out. But he was like going mad, and he couldn't listen to advice no matter what. Tonight is even more daring, and he actually did this rebellious thing for relatives and friends. Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, and the concubine did not teach her son well. So that he went astray. ”
"That's it, don't blame yourself. That's it. ”
"No matter what Lin'er does, she is the son of a concubine after all. The concubine begged His Majesty to leave him a way to live. No matter what happens...... Leave him alive. ”
“…… You don't intercede for yourself? What Feng Lin did today...... If he is defeated, I am afraid that the whole world will think that your mother and son have done it together. "Who would believe that Empress Qi really didn't help Feng Lin, but stopped Feng Lin?
Everyone in the world thinks they are complicit.
Feng Lin thought he had won?
Wrong, big mistake, he won't win. Queen Qi knows this, is it so easy to force the palace? Write the will, cover the jade seal, and you can be the prince and the new king.
How many people are eyeing inside and out.
Feng Lin is the praying mantis that only needs to catch cicadas, and he is behind him...... I'm afraid there is more than one yellow finch, so Queen Qi will disregard her own safety and insist on interceding for Feng Lin.
Feng Lin is her son, although she doesn't agree with Feng Lin's actions, she must not watch Feng Lin lose her life.
"The adopted son does not teach, and the concubine is at fault. The concubine is willing to accept it on behalf of Lin'er, and I only ask Your Majesty to spare him this time for the sake of him being your biological child. He wasn't by nature...... It's just that over the years, His Majesty has been biased towards the second son, so that Lin'er has felt more and more that her identity is in jeopardy, and she finally took the risk. If Your Majesty is grateful that your concubines have not been easy these years, please ask Your Majesty to spare Lin'er's life. ”
“…… Don't worry, I won't kill him. Emperor Geng seemed to be extremely tired, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Zixian, I can't stand you in this life. You're a good girl...... I've always felt like I'm not worthy of you. Even later became the emperor, and he never looked up in front of you. That's why I'm more and more alienated from you.
I spoil Concubine De, not because she grew up with my childhood sweetheart. It's that she's safe, and I know very well that she only has me in her heart, and I'm her God. But you are different, you are the daughter of the Qi family, your father and brother are capable, and you have seen a lot since you were a child.
I always feel like a hairy boy in front of you......"
Empress Qi was stunned, as if she didn't expect Emperor Geng to say this to her.
"How could Your Majesty think so, the moment I decided to marry Your Majesty, in this life, I will only have Your Majesty alone in my heart."
“…… How stupid am I to think you look down on me. If you look down on me, why do you marry me? For so many years, I have never seen these ...... Zixian, I lost you. "It's really a man's death, and his words are good.
Emperor Geng has been ill for a long time, and at first Concubine De served diligently, but after a long time, she became more and more neglectful.
Recently, every time I appear, I have something to ask for.
Maybe he is old and can no longer be used by her, Concubine De is becoming more and more perfunctory to him, if he doesn't meet her request, he will have to put on a face for him.
Once coquettish, gentle, now it's a joke when I think about it. On the contrary, Queen Qi's dignified arrogance from beginning to end made Feng Geng feel real. Especially Queen Qi did not join forces with Feng Lin, but tried her best to stop Feng Lin from doing it, which moved Feng Geng, and finally spit out all the words that had been buried in her heart for countless years.
Empress Qi's eyes were a little red. "It's all old husbands and wives, and Your Majesty still says what to do. Who loses whom...... The concubine just met His Majesty at the wrong time, if it had been earlier...... Maybe everything will be different. No one blames the concubine, maybe this is the fate of the concubine. The concubine has a son and a daughter, Lin'er is also filial on weekdays, and Yue'er is even more intimate. The concubine was content. ”
Emperor Geng looked at Empress Qi in front of him, who was obviously graceful and luxurious, but in fact her eyes were red and she was trying her best to cry.
I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.
Over the years, Queen Qi has silently done a lot for him.
The harem is governed in an orderly manner, and she has always been forbearant in the face of Concubine De's provocation, she is the queen, and she could have disposed of Concubine De as the queen, but she has never felt sorry for Concubine De.
The only time was because Concubine De was too aggressive. was supposed to let the queen Feng Yuan go first, but she just grabbed the way with the queen.
In the end, it only swept Concubine De's face, and did not move a single hair of Concubine De. With such self-cultivation, even Emperor Geng sighed to himself. obviously suffered a lot of grievances, but she said that she was very content.
Compared with the two, Emperor Geng felt more and more that Concubine De was hateful.
Even feeling that his partiality towards Feng Ye was a little unreasonable. He used all his scheming to kill Feng Lin, and at the same time, he also used his scheming to teach Feng Ye.
But the result is ......
Feng Ye also seems to be useless.
A small Changning made him scramble.
Concubine De begged him to give Feng Ye at that time, and when Xie Fei gave him a marriage, he was actually in the same mood as Emperor Geng when he was young. It's all about finding a safe backer.
Emperor Geng still relented and finally nodded.
That was the last chance he gave Feng Ye, if he could rely on his own ability to get Xie Xiang's support, maybe things would have room to maneuver.
But until this time, Xie Xiang still did not say.
The case was handed to him, but he couldn't do it. found him a backer, but he couldn't convince the Xie family to help him.
He tried his best, invited famous teachers all over the world, and taught such a Feng Ye, and Emperor Geng was naturally disappointed.
Could it be that Yun Chi really said it......
Of his sons, only one Feng Ge can be of great use.
Feng Ge is the most estranged child from Emperor Geng. Feng Ge looks good, and when he was a teenager, some people said that he was a boy and a girl. It may not be beneficial to the court and society.
Although you can't believe all the things that are strange and chaotic, you can't disbelieve them. In those two years, the south was hit by floods, and then there was a drought in the north. Emperor Geng couldn't help but believe a little, maybe it was really his son who was too good-looking, so that he could be warned by heaven.
That's exactly what happened.
He pushed the boat down the river and demoted Feng Ge to Taiping County.
I haven't heard much about him over the years. As long as he doesn't turn Taiping County upside down, but let him.
Until his birthday, he took Changning back to Beijing. I haven't seen him for a few years, and Emperor Geng almost can't recognize Feng Ge when he sees him at first glance.
His appearance is still extremely prosperous, and he is rare among men who are handsome, but the momentum around him neutralizes his appearance very well, and when people see it, they are first intimidated by the momentum around him, and the extremely prosperous appearance has become a foil.
Now, he can't help but hesitate.
and Empress Qi released their suspicions, at least in Emperor Geng's opinion, they were husband and wife, and only then did they feel that they relied on each other.
It's funny to say.
He has been trying his best to avoid getting close to Queen Qi all his life, but when he was dying, he was by his side and made him believe...... It's just her.
What happens in life...... It's really a trick to make people.
"Zixian, I'm afraid time is running out. Before I die, I have one thing to entrust to you. ”
"Your Majesty, as long as you recuperate well, you will definitely be cured. The weather has been too cold lately, and when the spring flowers bloom next year, Your Majesty will be safe. ”
Emperor Geng shook his head. "You don't have to comfort me, I know my body. It's been a few days...... And it's painful to live like this. I wish I had left sooner and been freed sooner. Zixian, I have already written the edict of succession, and I hid it in ......"
Feng Lin finally failed to find the jade seal.
I don't know if Emperor Geng learned of his movements in advance and hid the jade seal.
He searched the main hall, but he couldn't find the heirloom jade seal. So with a black face, he returned to Emperor Geng's bedroom again.
“…… It's really a tribulation to see the truth. When I was a child, I also asked my mother why my father always went to the bedroom of the concubine. Feng Ye always showed off in front of me, saying how much my father doted on him. The queen mother said to me at the time, I am the eldest brother, I am the eldest child, Feng Ye is the younger brother, I am still young, and I need the love of my father. I even believed it, and now that I think I'm stupid. I can't even see that my father has deliberately connived at me over the years, and let me make trouble...... Others say that I, the eldest son of the emperor, have a noble status. Respectable! Obviously, my father disdained to discipline me. ”
"Presumptuous. This is your father. Empress Qi scolded.
Feng Lin sneered: "Father." When did he treat me like a son? He valued Feng Ye, and he invited a famous teacher for Feng Ye to teach Feng Ye his homework. And even if I eat, drink and have fun in the house all day, he will never be harsh. Queen mother, this is not a pet, this is a harm. ”
"You don't know how to learn, and you blame others? You are the eldest son of the emperor, if you are really motivated, who can stop you? Lin'er, turn back. ”
Feng Lin felt that everyone was crazy.
They all persuaded him to turn back, and they all said that he was wrong. Where's where he is wrong. What he said was true, his father, the dignified Emperor Geng...... Single-mindedly cultivating him into a waste, which he has only recently figured out.
His queen mother actually stood there and persuaded him to let go.
All his misfortunes stem from Feng Geng's indifference to him.
Thinking of this, Feng Lin straightened his back, with a bit of madness on his face. "He wants Feng Ye to be the prince, but I don't want him to get his wish. Feng Ye ...... Feng Ye can't even get out of the mansion, how can he rob me. Feng Ye, Feng Ye, where are you? If you have the ability, you will rob me? ”
"Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor is here."
With a sneer, a figure flashed by the door.
It was exactly what Feng Lin shouted, the second prince Feng Ye.
