Chapter Forty-Three: Stealing the Day
Entering the Yaoguang Palace, Liuli was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw me coming back, he quickly led me all the way to my sister's room.
"Sister." When I arrived, my sister was getting dressed, and the loquat and Yuchan were set aside.
"My sister is here, let's help my sister comb her hair." My sister didn't turn around, still eyebrows in the mirror.
[After lying on the disease, it has been reformed, it is still not chaotic, and he took the pipa of the burning groove given by Yuanzong, and usually about the jade ring of the arm, which is the main farewell. It is bathing in makeup, containing jade from within, died in Yaoguang Palace, twenty-nine years old, buried in Yiling. In my mind, I remembered the description of my sister's death in my previous life, and every word was the same as what my sister is doing now.
"Sister, what are you doing?" I pretended not to know, and asked casually with a calm composure.
"My sister is leaving."
"Where to go."
"Go to a far, far away place, maybe you will come back, maybe you will never have the opportunity again."
"Then Min'er can accompany her sister."
"Silly Min'er." My sister put down the paintbrush in her hand and sighed softly. "That place can only be done by my sister."
"Sister."
"Min'er is good, my sister just wants to say sorry to Min'er today." I looked at my sister in the mirror, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"No, my sister has never been sorry for Min'er."
"That's Min'er doesn't know, I'm sorry, my former sister has been thinking about exchanging your happiness for my happiness."
"Sister."
I don't know, but I really don't blame you, I owe you all this in my previous life. I watched my sister silently read it in my heart.
"Min'er," my sister suddenly turned around and looked into my eyes, "what my sister is going to say next may be ridiculous, but you must believe my sister." β
"My sister said, Min'er listened." I tried to squeeze a smile out of my sister.
"Actually, I'm not from this world, I'm from a world you don't know, I know my own fate, and I've fought for it, but Zhong Xuan's death tells me that I can't fight after all."
Min'er didn't understand what her sister meant...... "What world I don't know?" Could it be that my sister, like me, was also reborn after death?
"I know Min'er doesn't understand, does Min'er remember what Shangwen said?"
"Is it Shang Gongzi's letter?"
"Yes, everything in his letter is true, everything is done by me and him, my sister suffered from love in her previous life, and I also know that the emperor has no love, so I only wanted to find a loved one to live in peace in this life, but I finally entered this deep palace."
"Since you love Shangwen, why did my sister enter this deep palace."
"Because of Chihiro, her suicide made me understand that many things are not something I can change if I want to."
"Why did Chihiro commit suicide?" I knew that Chihiro had committed suicide, but no one had ever been willing to say why Chihiro had committed suicide.
"Fate, because as long as she lives, Li Yu will definitely not give up on her, and even make her the queen in the end."
"Isn't this just the right place for my sister to escape from this harem?"
"Originally, I, Shang Wen, Chihiro, and Li Yu all thought so, but fate is such a thing, you can't see or touch it, it won't let us get our wish. In fact, what Li Yu and Shangwen didn't know was that Qianxun had secretly entered the palace to meet the Empress Dowager the night before she committed suicide. β
"What did the Queen Mother say?"
"Well, the Queen Mother threatened Shangwen's life, if Qianxun doesn't marry Shangwen, then Shangwen has no meaning to live in this world."
"That's all what Chihiro said to her sister?"
"Yes, I was selfish at that time, I liked Shang Wen, so naturally I didn't want to see Shang Wen have something to ......"
"So, you persuaded Chihiro to commit suicide?" Although I didn't believe it, I still boldly said my guess, my sister has always been kind, why is this happening?
"Yes, Chihiro is kind, naturally she doesn't want to see others die because of herself, and she doesn't want to betray Li Yu, so Chihiro finally chose to use her life to fulfill it."
"If Chihiro dies, won't my sister just happen to be with Shangwen?" I raised my doubts.
"Who is the Queen Mother," my sister sneered. "For the sake of our Zhou Mansion power, she can even give up her own niece, not to mention others, if I insist on marrying Shang Wen, how can I protect him."
"So, behind Chihiro's suicide and your marriage to Li Yu, are they all to protect Shangwen's life?"
"Yes, when Chihiro committed suicide, I suddenly figured out that the reason why God arranged it this way was nothing more than to get me back on the track of fate. After all, I was born to be the queen's fate, and no one can change ......"
"Then why did my sister and Shangwen go to such lengths to arrange for me to enter the palace?"
"Because of the painting."
"A painting in Li Yu's palace?"
"Yes."
"How can my sister conclude that this painting must exist?"
"Because everything in the painting is my own life experience in my previous life, if I guess correctly, after I die, you will be the next queen, and Li Yu loves you."
When it came to love, my sister paused, and then continued.
"So, I want to match you and the emperor before I die, so that maybe I can have some time with Shangwen before I die."
"How can my sister conclude that I will definitely like Li Yu."
"This is also my failure, you didn't like the emperor, and my position in the emperor's heart is far more important than I imagined."
After my sister finished speaking, she continued to turn around and draw her eyebrows, and I knew that my sister had now fully accepted the reality.
If you want to change your destiny by being reborn, then the queen is no less than me now, but she still hasn't escaped her due end, so what about me, am I the same?
"Actually, I hated you a lot in my previous life, and I felt that my sister robbed her husband in my serious illness, but in this life I can't hate it at all, Min'er, you have to believe in your sister, my sister only hopes that you can live happily. Putting aside the only love, the emperor will be a dutiful husband. β
Listening to my sister say this, I couldn't find the words to answer for a while, so I could only mechanically help my sister pull up her hair.
My mind is full of my sister's words, because I was a queen in my last life, so I died, so what if I wasn't a queen in this life? I was suddenly startled by my own thoughts, and then thought deeply.
"Sister is saying that you will die because of your identity?"
"Yes, in October 964, the second prince Zhongxuan and Empress Empress E passed away one after another, this is the past that my sister knows."
"What if my sister isn't the queen?"
Maybe it was to comfort my sister, maybe it was to struggle with fate again, I pretended to be naΓ―ve and said it.
Now I'm only 15 years old, which is the age of naivety, and it doesn't matter what I say, the important thing is that my sister can listen.
"What do you mean?" My sister finally stopped what she was doing and turned to look at me, with a hint of anger in her eyes.
"Stealing the day." I slowly spat out these four words from my mouth.
