Chapter 1, Self-deception
In July 49 of the Great Wei Dynasty, Emperor Yu Wenting died.
In the same month of the same year, the seventh prince Yuwen Chenxi ascended the throne as the new emperor.
The night before Yuwen Chenxi ascended the throne, in the palace, Su Jinxuan sat in the bedroom of Fengluan Palace in a bright red wedding dress, with a beautiful face and a happy smile, waiting for the man she loved to come over.
It's been ten years, and in the past ten years, she has experienced too many things, from an ignorant girl to a vicious woman who is unscrupulous to achieve her goals, but only that love for him has never changed.
Even if her love is humble, even if she pays a lot, she never regrets it.
Today, she can finally stand by his side in the name of it.
And tonight is the night of candles in their cave room.
Su Jinxuan didn't have a maid-in-law by her side, and Su Jinxuan was the only one in the entire hall, and it was a little weird to be quiet.
It's just that at this moment, all of Su Jinxuan's thoughts are occupied by the man she loves in her heart, and she doesn't realize that the danger is slowly approaching her.
As time went by, the night gradually deepened, but the person Su Jinxuan was waiting for never appeared.
Su Jinxuan's mood gradually changed from joy at the beginning to worry, and she didn't know what he was delayed by.
Just when Su Jinxuan was hesitating whether to get up and go out to have a look, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open.
However, what walked in was not the man Su Jinxuan had been waiting for, but several men with long shoulders and thick waists.
"Presumptuous, who are you? Who gave you the courage to enter the dormitory of the main palace, don't you want your head? Hurry up and get out of the way. ”
Seeing these men enter her dormitory so easily, Su Jinxuan's heart suddenly had a very bad premonition.
But she didn't even have time to think about it, so she could only scold them sharply, wanting to scare these men away first.
"My sister is so majestic, my sister is shocked by you."
Su Jinxuan's words fell, and a delicate voice came from behind the group of men.
"Su Jinyu."
Looking at the familiar figure that came out, with only a close-fitting ring by her side, Su Jinxuan couldn't help frowning fiercely.
"You're crazy, what are you doing here?"
Su Jinyu is Su Jinxuan's cousin, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, and it is not bad at all compared to the sisters.
Later, they even fell in love with the same man.
However, Su Jinxuan has never been half dissatisfied with this.
She knows very well that compared to Su Jinyu, who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and gentle and petty, she is really not very likable when she only plays tricks.
She never had much to hope for.
As long as the person she loves can be happy, as long as she can always stay by his side and have a place, with his occasional grace, it is enough.
She never dared to have the luxury of wanting to monopolize him, let alone compete for favor with Su Jinyu, the only sister.
But in exchange for being so compromised, her closest sister broke into her dormitory with a few big men.
Su Jinxuan is not a fool, Su Jinyu is clearly not a good person, and her face will naturally not look good.
Su Jinyu didn't care about Su Jinxuan's ugly face at all, looked at her with a smile and said:
"Sister, don't be angry, today is the big day for the candles in your cave room, and being angry will touch your head."
Su Jinxuan took a deep breath fiercely, not letting herself be distracted.
"Su Jinyu, say, what do you want to do?"
"You broke into my dormitory with such a group of men, you must have come to talk to me, right?"
Su Jinyu covered her mouth lightly and smiled.
"My sister is really smart, no wonder the emperor has always valued you so much."
The emperor in Su Jinyu's mouth is the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne - Yuwen Chenxi.
It is the man that Su Jinxuan and Su Jinyu sisters love together.
"After all, today is my sister's big day, although I can't hold a big banquet, but as my sister, why don't I prepare a congratulatory gift for my sister?"
Seeing Su Jinyu's cheerful smile, Su Jinxuan couldn't help but move her body, as if this could drive away the uneasy feeling in her heart.
Su Jinxuan was silent, her eyes staring straight at Su Jinyu.
Su Jinyu's smile became brighter and brighter.
"Sister, don't stare at me like that, my sister is really thinking about you."
"I'm afraid my sister doesn't know yet, the emperor won't come over tonight, at this moment, the emperor has already rested in Yuanchun Palace."
"My sister is also distressed that my sister is going to stay alone in the empty room on your big day, so I brought my subordinates to comfort my sister and you, sister don't let down my sister's heart."
Su Jinyu's posture was soft and her tone was soft, but the words she said viciously made the maids around her can't help but shake their bodies.
Su Jinxuan's face turned pale, and her aggrieved eyes turned red.
Yuanchun Palace is Su Jinyu's current dormitory.
Since others are in Yuanchun Palace, he must know what Su Jinyu is doing at the moment.
But he didn't stop it.
Even, without his approval, how could they break into her bedroom so easily.
"No, I don't believe it."
"Su Jinyu, you lied to me, I want to see the emperor."
"The emperor promised me that as long as I help him ascend to the throne, he will be willing to marry me as his queen and spoil me and love me for the rest of his life."
Su Jinxuan stared fiercely at Su Jinyu who was standing in front of her.
Su Jinyu snorted lightly.
"My silly sister, you are so naïve, you still dream of being your queen."
"Have you not forgotten, you are the former prince's favorite confidante, a broken flower and a willow, what qualifications do you have to hope for the position of the queen?"
Su Jinxuan's heart shrank suddenly, and she seemed to want to crack in pain.
In order to help Yuwen Chenxi ascend to the throne and get rid of his henchmen, Su Jinxuan did not hesitate to sell herself and commit herself to the former prince.
The former prince was very kind to her, and it can be said that he loved her very much, and he was obedient and favored.
It's a pity that in the end, he died under the inner and outer cooperation of the woman he once loved the most and Yuwen Chenxi.
"No, you're lying to me, I don't believe Brother Chenxi would be so cruel to me, he loves me, he said it."
Su Jinxuan clenched her hands, her body trembled uncontrollably, but she still stubbornly didn't want to believe Su Jinyu's words, and glared at her and said angrily.
Su Jinyu didn't care about Su Jinxuan's anger, shook her head with a smile, shrugged and said.
"If my sister likes to deceive herself, I can't help it."
"For the sake of sisters, I might as well tell you the truth, in fact, the emperor has never had you in his heart."
"He approaches you and dotes on you in every way, but it's just because you are Su Yehua's daughter."
