Chapter 186: The Past
Perhaps, in fact, the Empress Dowager Sun can guess what the idea of this Ji Lanshan came to the door, but in fact, the Empress Dowager Sun herself didn't want to understand in her heart, he understood that Ji Lanshan came this time and pleaded for something, it must be related to his wife, otherwise with their current familiarity, how could they come to see her? But how can her forgive his wife for hurting her and losing her child?
Therefore, Empress Dowager Sun directly began to intercept Ji Lanshan's words, and Empress Dowager Sun didn't want to hear it, and she didn't want Ji Lanshan to open this mouth.
It's just that since Ji Lanshan has come to the door, he must have made up his mind, and he must be able to know for sure that he can succeed, and he clearly knows what the Empress Dowager Sun is like for so many years.
"Queen Mother, Wechen begs you, Wechen begs you for one last thing, please agree, as long as the Queen Mother agrees to Wechen, if there is any need in the future, Wechen will go all out and do nothing. I just beg that this time the queen mother can help Weichen. Ji Lanshan began to beg earnestly, but his appearance was very low, and he completely lost his former high profile.
When Empress Dowager Sun heard it, she felt as if she had heard something unbelievably funny in her ears, and Empress Dowager Sun immediately laughed:
"Ji Lanshan, Ji Lanshan, this palace thought that you only had yourself in your heart, and there was no one else, after all, this palace had done so many things for you before, and you didn't get a reward, but now it seems that this matter is wrong, but this palace is wrong, it turns out that you not only have others in your heart, but you can also do this for others, you are such a proud person, and when you beg me? It's ridiculous. ”
Empress Dowager Sun only had a wry smile on her face, and nothing else.
When Ji Lanshan heard this, he only lowered his head in shame, a little embarrassed, after all, what the Empress Dowager Sun said, every false word was committed when he was young, for the sake of power:
"Wechen only begs the queen to ask the emperor to let go of Wechen's wife, please let go of Wechen's wife, please let go of Wechen's wife, no matter how the queen wants to deal with Wechen, Wechen is willing, Wechen only prays, the queen can let go of Wechen's wife, Wechen really has no choice,
Weichen's wife, in two days, will be beheaded by the emperor by the emperor to show the public, Weichen really has no choice, so he came to disturb the queen's mother like this, the children of Weichen's family are still young, but they can't accept the company of their mothers! Wechen knows that the queen is kind-hearted and will definitely not let Wechen return disappointed. ”
Ji Lanshan can be regarded as speaking sincerely, which sounds very sincere, but these words are quite ridiculous in front of a mother who has just lost her child not long ago.
Empress Dowager Sun smiled again, this time with a self-deprecating smile, "Ji Lanshan, Ji Lanshan, you said that your child can't be without a mother, then, shouldn't the mother of this palace have no children?" Do you mean that it should be normal for Hongu to be a mother and have no children? In the end, Empress Dowager Sun's tone was the same as shouting, because she was too angry in her heart.
Empress Dowager Sun suddenly didn't control her emotions and came out.
Ji Lanshan was also stunned by Empress Dowager Sun's sudden roar, but within half an hour, Ji Lanshan immediately reacted: "Queen Mother, Weichen doesn't mean this, Weichen is clumsy and can't speak, and please don't be serious with Weichen, don't mind what Weichen said, Weichen is very sorry for the loss of her beloved son, Weichen also feels sorry for the queen mother, but there is a sentence, Weichen doesn't know whether to say it or not, he is already a lost person, so he shouldn't mind anymore, Because there is no way to get it back, the important thing is that now, your child is gone, and there can be the next one, the next one. ”
Empress Dowager Sun felt like she had heard some terrible joke: "Ji Lanshan, are you serious?" What you mean is that the loss of the child in this palace is irretrievable, so you shouldn't mind it anymore, right? Ji Lanshan, this palace tells you that your family is happy, your children and grandchildren are entangled, and this palace has not had a son or a daughter until now, do you know why? Because it's hard to have a child in this palace, it's hard! Do you understand what that means? This means that as a dignified queen, this palace cannot have children of her own! I finally got it, but I lost it in an instant, and you told Bengong not to mind anymore? Ji Lanshan, are you still a person? This is on you, can you not mind? Did I owe you the in my last life? To pay such a big price for this palace? ”
When Ji Lanshan heard this, he was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time, until a long time later, Ji Lanshan came back to his senses, and Ji Lanshan just spoke: "What did you say?" What do you mean? Why is this so? ”
Ji Lanshan looked at the face of the Empress Dowager Sun, full of shock and disbelief, as if to confirm whether the Empress Dowager Sun was lying.
Empress Dowager Sun smiled, with endless desolation in her smile, as if she had mentioned her sadness, and her face was full of sadness:
"What? Prime Minister Ji is now beginning to sympathize with the palace? Speaking of which, the palace will become like this, or is it thanks to Prime Minister Ji! ”
Empress Dowager Sun's next words made Ji Lanshan's eyes widen, and he looked at Empress Dowager Sun in disbelief: "Queen Mother, what do you mean by this?" How is it due to the Wechens? What's the matter with Weichen? ”
At this moment, in the main hall, only the Empress Dowager Sun and Ji Lanshan remained, and even the personal maids around the Empress Dowager Sun were dismissed by the Empress Dowager Sun.
The hall was unusually quiet, and even the words seemed to echo, and the sound of breathing was so clear in the hall.
Ji Lanshan is not clear, for this matter, his whole face is full of questions, and he really doesn't seem to know, but it is precisely because of Ji Lanshan's performance that it makes Empress Dowager Sun uncomfortable.
"Ji Lanshan, don't you really know in your heart?" Empress Dowager Sun asked Ji Lanshan again.
Ji Lanshan, who asked these words, became even more suspicious in his heart: "What do you mean, Queen Mother?" Why does Wechen want to know? Also, why did the queen mother say that the queen mother could not conceive because of Weichen? Weichen didn't do anything to the queen! ”
As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Sun suddenly began to laugh out loud, with endless self-deprecation in that smile: "That's right, the previous efforts were all wishful thinking on the part of this palace, and I never let you know, and now, there is no need for this palace to say more,
Ji Lanshan, this palace asked you the last word, do you really want to be here, praying that this palace will spare your wife? This time you have to think about it, you can let your wife go to this palace, from now on, your prime minister's mansion and your descendants will be hated by this palace, after a long time, you will die for a hundred years, but your descendants will have to pay for it, and it is a heavy price, think about it, can your family afford it? ”
Ji Lanshan had sadness and helplessness on his face: "An An, do you have to hurt each other like this?" After all these years, you still haven't let go of those hatreds? In those years, I was sorry for you, I admit that our Prime Minister's Mansion owes you too much, too much, and even for me, these are impossible to repay, but can you not involve my family, you want to take revenge, just take revenge on me alone, just hate me and I alone, I don't have a word of complaint to say, because I owe you, don't involve my family and descendants, okay? An An, brother begs you. ”
Ji Lanshan also began to regret his previous actions, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to change it.
"This time, maybe God saw that I had done too many wrong things before, and deliberately came to atone for my sins! It's just that I didn't expect to hurt you again, and my brother felt sad and guilty. ”
As he spoke, Ji Lanshan had already lowered his head, he felt that all he could do now was to repent, except for repentance, he couldn't do anything, he could only pray for the forgiveness of the Empress Dowager Sun.
Empress Dowager Sun didn't have any other reaction, only continued to smile, and smiled: "Ji Lanshan, are you here to be related to this palace again?" Don't call this palace An'an, now this palace is already a dignified Queen Sun, it is not appropriate for you to call the palace boudoir name directly, and it is not appropriate for you to be a relative of this palace like this, and it is not appropriate, everyone knows that Queen Sun has no father and no mother, she is an orphan, you don't think of this palace as a sister, no one will believe it, fortunately, there is no one else in the palace now, otherwise it will be spread out, how should this palace deal with itself? What's more, this palace and Prime Minister Ji Cheng are not related, so it's really inappropriate, and ah, this palace really thinks that Prime Minister Ji is talking more and more interesting.
Ji Lanshan, have you forgotten that you ruined my Sun An'an's life in the first place? If it weren't for you, where would I have entered the palace? This palace originally didn't want to mention it to you for the time being, after all, if it weren't for Prime Minister Ji's matchmaking, this palace would not have found such a good husband for the emperor, and would not have lived such a fine life...... Thank you Ji Cheng for not marrying for a long time.
It's just Ji Lanshan, don't you forget, you have lived in this palace, you can go to the queen's position, this is not what you gave to this palace, this is because the emperor treats this palace very well, if you don't meet such a good man as the emperor, I'm afraid that the life of this palace will live in dire straits all day long, right? In those days, the palace was really unimaginable, so, Ji Lanshan, what qualifications do you have to come here to ask me to miss my previous relationship? Back then, did I, Sun An'an, have anything to be sorry for you? What do I owe you to Sun An'an? No, but what about your Ji family? But the people of your Ji family are like this, you want to hurt this palace one by one? Ji Lanshan, you almost hurt this palace in your life, don't say it, this palace can not care about it, but what about your wife? Your wife has harmed my unborn child for a lifetime, this life and another life, two whole lives, how can you Ji Lanshan pay for it? How can you repay it with a word of apology? ”
Empress Dowager Sun said with infinite resentment in her tone, these words have also been held in her heart for many years, so many years, as long as she thinks of the past, her heart is as uncomfortable and disgusting as eating, and now she finally let go of some prejudices against Ji Lanshan, but she never thought about it, but now she doesn't even have some expectations now. Sun An'an couldn't tell the pain in his heart, and he was very uncomfortable.
After Empress Dowager Sun's words, Ji Lanshan was silent, and Empress Dowager Sun was also silent.
In the main hall, it was really peaceful, the silence was terrible, and the hearts of the two of them were full of suffering, endless suffering, this was all the price, one report and one report.
Ji Lanshan didn't speak, just kept his head down and didn't say a word, Empress Dowager Sun sat in a high position, and she was also in a daze, after all, there are some words, once they are spoken, they can't be taken back.
Until Ji Lanshan finally couldn't help but speak, breaking this temporary tranquility:
"Queen Mother, now, why have you and I become like this now? This is contrary to Wechen's original idea! ”
Empress Dowager Sun didn't know either, she couldn't tell what she still thought about this Ji Lanshan, she couldn't say what she felt, but she kept thinking in her mind, what was her child who had never met like? Do you resent her in your heart? The answer is yes, no need to guess.
It's that she, as a mother, didn't do a good job of protecting the child to be born safely and grow up safely, and she didn't give the child a chance to grow up, so she was stillborn, how could she not resent her?
"You don't know, how can this palace be clear?" Empress Dowager Sun didn't reply, but just threw the question back to Ji Lanshan again, and Empress Dowager Sun now has mixed feelings in her heart, and her sadness can't be suppressed.
Sometimes the disappointment has saved enough, in fact, people should also be sober, and after so many years, she should also be sober.
"Weichen begged the queen mother, the three children can't live without their mother! As long as the queen agrees, what she wants Weichen to do, Weichen will not hesitate. "Ji Lanshan is also true now, there is no way, but if there is some way, Ji Lanshan will not find Sun An'an, nor will he put down the prime minister's face to beg Sun An'an so much.
"This palace has said it, it's not impossible to want this palace to let your wife go, as long as it is transferred to your descendants, as long as this palace hates your descendants, as long as they have a hard life...... At least they're still there, aren't they? Ji Lanshan, Ji Lanshan, think about it, you're just like this, the palace is gone, who is more pitiful, you can also see it, right? ”
Thinking of the friendship with Ji Lanshan over the years, Empress Dowager Sun was naturally reluctant to attack Ji Lanshan, but it was different for Ji Lanshan's descendants and relatives, let alone start, even if she died, she would dare to die.
As soon as the Empress Dowager Sun's words came out, Ji Lanshan fell into silence again, and the Empress Dowager Sun looked at Ji Lanshan who had been hanging her head, and was determined to push again, and the Empress Dowager Sun continued to speak:
"Prime Minister Ji, you also think about it, in fact, this is actually not a loss for you, but if you choose not to save it, it is also very okay, after all, sacrificing a person in exchange for the long-term health and joy of life for future generations, no matter how you look at it, it is a good deal, isn't it? As for the children and grandchildren, they are only the children and grandchildren, and the one who can really accompany you to old age is your wife, and as for your descendants, it is only a brief occurrence. Something. I don't have much to say about this palace, think about it yourself, the words of this palace are also on the table, as for how you are ready, it's up to you, it's just that this palace kindly reminded Prime Minister Ji that there are no children in this palace, it doesn't matter, you can afford to wait for as long as you can, as for your wife, she will be beheaded tomorrow, she can't wait, your three children, can't wait. ”
Empress Dowager Sun also didn't know what Ji Lanshan was struggling with, could it be that Ji Lanshan really liked that woman? Shouldn't Ji Lanshan give up everything for the sake of power?
Ji Lanshan would choose to sacrifice that woman, right? Empress Dowager Sun was constantly beating the drum in her heart, and her heart began to get nervous inexplicably, in fact, after so many years, Empress Dowager Sun had no previous thoughts about Prime Minister Ji Cheng, and she had no love and expectations, but the momentum in her heart that she did not admit defeat was still there, it didn't matter if she lost, the important thing was that no one won.
In fact, Empress Dowager Sun didn't want Ji Lanshan to choose to sacrifice the happiness of his descendants, so what was her Sun An'an's efforts over the years?
Ji Lanshan knelt on the ground for a long time, until Ji Lanshan felt that his knee was in pain, as if he had no strength, until the pain between his knees spread throughout his body, Ji Lanshan finally came to his senses.
In his heart, he finally had a choice.
Ji Lanshan slowly raised his head that had been lowered for a long time, with a long struggle in his eyes, and after struggling for a long time, he came to the conclusion that Ji Lanshan stared into the eyes of the Empress Dowager Sun, and finally explained his choice without hesitation:
"Queen Mother, Weichen, Weichen figured it out."
After thinking about it, Ji Lanshan sighed directly, seemingly full of helplessness, and seemed to be calm: "Weichen chose to save Weichen's wife, and I hope that the queen will be fulfilled." ”
Empress Dowager Sun was stunned in surprise, "You, you, you...... Do you choose to sacrifice your offspring? Ji Lanshan, have you figured it out, there is only one chance to choose, you are the prime minister, but you have not been easy, you sacrificed everything, you have worked hard to do it, do you really want to give up everything for that woman? Is that really worth it? ”
Empress Dowager Sun was very surprised in her heart, he didn't expect Ji Lanshan to choose like this.
"Wechen thought clearly, it's worth it, when I was young, Wechen always felt that men should be ambitious in all directions, and should sacrifice everything for power, so that they made a lot of mistakes and hurt the queen, this matter has been put in Wechen's heart, can not be dispersed, now Wechen is older, Wechen more and more feel the mistake of his previous thoughts, Wechen can no longer repeat the mistakes of the year, I was sorry for the queen back then, and now, how can I be sorry for Mrs. again? Weichen now understands that this life is extremely short, you can choose many paths, you can go through many kinds of lives, and you can meet many people, but if you don't have the person you love the most, no matter how much power you have, what's the use of more money? Therefore, Weichen asked the queen to fulfill it! ”
After the words fell, Ji Lanshan solemnly nodded a few heads towards Empress Dowager Sun again.
Empress Dowager Sun looked at her coldly, and the thought in her heart was to turn the world and the sea and rivers upside down, maybe this is true love, right?
Men are like this, they put the guilt of the previous term on the next one, so that they will feel that they can make up for it in their hearts, but the person who was hurt, the woman who gave all her youth, why can't she get anything?
Empress Dowager Sun took a long sleeve and said: "This palace promises you, it's just Ji Lanshan, you have to pay the due price for everything you did today, don't regret it." ”
"Thank you Queen Mother, Queen Mother rest assured, Weichen will never complain!" As Ji Lanshan spoke, he kowtowed a few times again.
It was this time that the connection between Empress Dowager Sun and Ji Lanshan was completely cut off.
So much so that Empress Dowager Sun still doesn't like the people in Ji Fuzhong after a hundred years in Ji Lanshan.
This is also why Empress Dowager Sun showed so much hostility after seeing Ji Tian'an, this is because this grievance has been going on for a long time.
Later, Ji Mansion became bigger and bigger, the new Prime Minister Ji Hejun, Ji Lanshan's second son ascended the throne, the youngest daughter married into the palace, and the eldest son split the family.
Pity her, she can't have her own children in her life, she can only raise children for others, although the child is also filial, and she has also given her the honor of the unique Queen Mother, but there will always be a regret in her heart, no children of her own, this is the regret of her life!
This is the biggest regret of being a mother!
The appearance of Princess Xinyun reminded her of her youth, remembered the eventful years, and remembered the green past, she was once an innocent woman like Princess Xinyun, but time baptized her into an old woman today, this is her life, the regret of her life, fortunately, the appearance of Princess Xinyun made her feel a lot more alive, and she saw Princess Xinyun, as if she saw herself back then.
When Empress Dowager Sun saw that Princess Xinyun was devoted to Lu Qingze but couldn't love her, Empress Dowager Sun saw her former self, Empress Dowager Sun could empathize, and she could know Princess Xinyun's discomfort and embarrassment, she was so humble, knowing that she was just wishful thinking, knowing that the other party had no feelings for her, but she was still happy and happy.
This is the gap between loving and being loved, and those who like each other first always have to suffer more.
Therefore, that's it, Empress Dowager Sun decided to help Princess Xinyun, she called Ji Qian'an, this Ji Lanshan's granddaughter, with a noble status, clever means, and both talent and affection, in the capital these days, it can be regarded as famous, not to mention......
