Chapter 21: Scattered (Meng Hongyu)
Ling'er. You are a rainbow in my life. Quietly appeared after a torrential rain of love. Suspended in the clear blue sky. Brilliant and colorful. My sky. Because of your appearance, it was instantly exciting. However. All good things are an accidental existence. Instantaneous. Disappear in an instant.
Ling'er. Are you also just an accidental existence? Why. I always felt like you were far away from me. Even if you're sitting across from me. Taste tea and play chess. Even if you lie next to me. Smile gently. Even if I hold you tightly in my arms. Deeply embedded in the bottom of my heart......
It's like a flowing cloud that's hard to catch. I never know where you're from. Where will it go? I tried to reach out. Wants to hold you tightly. However. Spread your hands. There are only a few palm lines. It foreshadowed my lifelong loneliness and emptiness.
I'm always afraid of losing. Fear of losing the country. Fear of losing power. Fear of losing love. Fear of losing affection. Thereupon. I'm always serious about loving. Love my country, my society, my love, my life. However. But because he loves too seriously. There is always a sad and joyless ending.
Childhood. I was taught by my mother to do whatever it takes to get the right and the throne. Because. That Nine Dragons Throne is for our mother and son. It's not just about the country and the power. It means life and happiness. Only to become an emperor. We can be safe. in order to be happy.
For the sake of imperial power. Or rather, to survive. I gave so much, so much. I resolutely abandoned the softest feelings in my heart. Ruthlessly banished all thoughts that would make me cry. Don't dare to love. Don't dare to be loved.
in my life. There is no brotherhood of life and death. On the day I ascended the throne. The fourth brother who has the deepest brotherhood with me. is already destined to be adrift for the rest of his life. From now on. We brothers can only be suspicious of each other and miss each other. Running away from each other and looking for each other.
in my life. There is no pure and sincere love. When I was a child. The Queen Mother had warned me not to trust the women in the harem. She said. in this world. There is no love for no reason. There is no lustless love. All women approach me for power and status. She said. We can't believe that the alliance is eternal. Flush is a curse. Love is poison. For the sake of the country and the community. I will not drink to quench my thirst.
until he met Su Zirong. She is the most important woman in my life. It's also the woman I owe the most in my life. From her. I learned what it means to be worried. What is heartbreaking. What is unforgettable. However. My queen mother was right. She is Concubine Lan's niece. She is the cousin of the fourth brother. There's no way she really loves me...... Thereupon. I hesitated. I hesitated. I wandered around her courtyard. I never dared to reach out and push open the door of her heart.
And then. Missing again and again finally became the biggest mistake in this life. Until she was killed by the Lin father and daughter. I just knew. Me and her life. irretrievable ......
Yes. Su Zirong is my first love. It made me understand what love is. And you. It's the most special being in my life. It taught me what deep love is.
Maybe. You are the woman sent by Heaven to awaken me from my slumber. It made me understand what is right and what is wrong. What is fate. What is helplessness. Your appearance. It's both accidental and inevitable. It was an arrangement of fate and an unintentional coincidence.
Your departure. It was a heart-rending pain for me. However. It's like the queen mother said. After the pain. I still have to forget about the pain. And then consume a lifetime. Guarding my country to the death.
You are a mystery. From the unintentional. Go to the intention.
I believe that West Lake is your final destination. Because. Only that great realm of desperate beauty can infantil your pure soul. Only that blue sky and clear water can make you feel satisfied.
I believe. You didn't die. You're just nowhere to be seen. Fade into the clouds. Into the sky. You live in the depths of West Lake. I was able to see the spring dawn on the White Causeway. Smell the evening bell of Nanping. Enjoy the autumn moon on Ping Lake. Looking at the remnants of snow on the broken bridge. You're on the edge of the water that's as warm as spring. Guarding a crystal clear Ming Dynasty for me. So. I would like to give you that pearl. Let you be the spirit of water by the West Lake.
Life. I owe you and Zirong too much. You promise each other by your example. Promise with love. Promise with your heart. At last. But they all fell into a fate of fragrant and jade. It's not a matter of fate. It's not about making people. It's my fault.
If there is an afterlife. I would like to be an ordinary man. Married to you. Hand in hand with Tianya ......
