Chapter 50: A Late Confession

On a midsummer July afternoon, Mo Yan shook the small wooden bed and coaxed Liu Cheng to sleep. This wooden bed was made by Liu Xie herself, she didn't know about it, she thought it was just like what Liu Xie said, but it was made by carpentry. Until one time, she accidentally overheard Liu Xie's conversation with Yu Niang, and Yu Niang's words were like a heavy blow in her heart, and she hid in the corner and cried silently. Yu Niang said: "Your Majesty, why don't you tell Your Highness that the wooden bed was made by you yourself?" Your hands have suffered a lot for this. Your Majesty used to be like this, at that time, His Royal Highness had not yet entered the palace, and you personally took care of her injuries, but Your Majesty did not let Yu Niang reveal half a sentence. Although Her Royal Highness is not General Fu's beloved daughter, the slave maid can see that His Majesty will never ......" "Yu Niang, you don't have to say much, she doesn't belong here, even if she is reluctant to leave now because of Cheng'er." But sooner or later, he will leave the palace. Why should I be strong? If she decides to leave, you don't need to say anything, just send her out of the palace on a certain day. ”

Thinking of the words she heard at that time, Mo Yan looked at the sleeping Liu Cheng, and she quietly shed tears. "From the beginning, you treated me like this, and I treated you like this." Liu Xie is right, she is more ruthless than those who covet the country, she can cut Liu Xie's heart a thousand times without a sword.

How can she, such a ruthless person, get Liu Xie's forgiveness and affectionate treatment? It's just that it's dragged on day after day, and he is cheeky to stay in the palace on the grounds that Cheng'er is still young. Time always flies so fast, Cheng'er is more than four months old, and she already knows how to babble, Mo Yan often talks to him, she always feels that the young Cheng'er can already understand her words, and will smile at her, Mo Yan often says "Mom" and "Dad" around him. Although it is still early, as a biological mother, she can certainly hope that the first words Cheng'er said are "Dad" and "Mom".

"Speaking of which, next month will be a year old, and before I know it, I will be in the palace for a year." Mo Yan raised his head and couldn't help but sigh, he had traveled to the troubled times for more than a year, and he had been married to the palace for almost a year. She was nervous at the time, and Liu Xie drew her hand...... She remembered these things vividly, and the bits and pieces with Liu Xie became her sweetest memories in the palace.

"Your Highness, go and rest, and replace me to see the eldest son of the Emperor." Chunyi stepped into the house, came to Mo Yan's side, and gently pushed the wooden bed, Chunyi only cared about the emperor's eldest son, and didn't notice Mo Yan's strangeness.

Mo Yan took advantage of the fact that he hadn't noticed himself yet, so he quickly wiped his tears, and replied pretending to be peaceful: "I don't rest, I want to make you some sour plum soup." ”

Kitchen

"Come, you all divide it." Mo Yan wiped the sweat from his face, beckoned the maids and attendants to divide the boiled sour plum soup in turn. I remember that when I made it for the first time last year, the palace people didn't dare to drink it, but now when I make this sour plum soup, the palace people are much more refreshed, and they thank the queen one by one. "In the hot summer, this sour plum soup is very relieving of the heat. I will ask the Imperial Physician to prepare more medicinal herbs, and you can learn that you can cook and drink it yourself, and don't drink too much. ”

Mo Yan filled the remaining sour plum soup, and she planned to take it to the Jiaofang Hall for Yu Niang to drink. She looked at the two bowls of sour plum soup that were not put in the food box, and she was a little distracted, she remembered that time - Liu Xie snatched the sour plum soup in her hand, and actually said that it was too sour and hurt her stomach. He approached her again and asked if he had any problems...... The corners of her mouth rose slightly, but soon drooped. She stretched out her hand to summon the chamberlain, "These two bowls of sour plum soup, one bowl for Song Guiren, and one bowl for Your Majesty." The waiter was stunned for a moment, but immediately took two bowls and put them in the food box, ready to send them. When he walked out of the kitchen, he touched his head, since the queen made it herself, why didn't he give it to His Majesty in person? Although he was puzzled, he never stopped and hurried to do things for the queen.

The palace people still had a lot to do, so Mo Yan asked them to step back first and stay in the kitchen to clean up by himself. She looked at the stove in front of her, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she thought slightly. "Strange, I should have calculated it, everyone here, and Yu Niang and them, how come there is still more than a bowl of quantity, I misestimated? Or is there anyone who hasn't drunk? ”

Just as Mo Yan was thinking, a more familiar-sounding female voice sounded in her ears. "Your Highness, the slave hasn't drunk it yet, can you ask for a bowl?"

Hear her voice first and then see her person, the other party is a palace maid, and her face - there is a striking red spot that almost occupies the left side of her face. She walked in front of Mo Yan and bowed, Mo Yan looked at her carefully, and always felt familiar. "You are?"

"Your Highness forgot? I am Dongmei by Dong Guiren's side. ”

"Dongmei, didn't you die of illness? How could it be ......" Mo Yan's clear eyes stared at the person in front of her in disbelief, she remembered that Dong Lin's personal maid had died of illness as early as last year, how could Dongmei appear alive in front of her, unless ...... "Dongmei, you have never been sick, and the dead 'Dongmei' is just a fake." ”

"Your Highness is so smart, you can guess it." Dongmei took out the envelope (1) from her loose sleeve and handed it to Mo Yan's hand. "This letter was written by your own hand, and Your Highness will know it when you read it."

Mo Yan took the envelope, it was obviously a cold thing, but she felt a little warm. "Thank you." After she thanked Dongmei, she wanted to open it directly, but she still put it in her sleeve, planning to go back to the Jiaofang Hall to see it again.

"Did she tell you to leave the palace to live after handing over the letter to me? After all, no one knows that you have returned to the palace except for her and me. ”

"No, I'm a helpless person, and it's the same everywhere I go. Now that the letter has been handed over, the slave maid left the palace to guard the tomb of the nobleman, and she must be very lonely, so she wants to talk to her. ”

Mo Yan clutched her sleeves tightly, she didn't know how to speak, she just said heavily: "Take care." Dongmei drank the only remaining sour plum soup, and she smiled in Mo Yan's ear and said, "The slave has thanked Your Highness, what your noble people have not been able to do, I hope Your Highness can do it." ”

Dongmei left, leaving her alone muttering, repeating Dongmei's words. "What your noble people can't do, I hope Your Highness can do."

Jiaofang Palace

"Your Highness, when you read this letter, I'm afraid I'm long gone. Dongmei lived up to her trust and finally forwarded this letter to His Royal Highness. Even if I can live to this day, Dong Lin still wants to make these words clear. When His Highness said that he would help me, I was so flustered and happy. The panic is that His Royal Highness is His Majesty's wife, why is this. I am glad that I have always loved His Majesty, and I wish to be by his side forever. I used to think that I was unique to His Majesty, at least I knew His Majesty better than just Du'er. But I didn't know I was wrong until you showed up. Your Majesty is the only one in his eyes, and you are the one who walks into his heart, never me or Du'er. At this point, you clearly know, what are you moving further and further away from Your Majesty? Broke his heart. His Majesty is in troubled times, it is his misfortune, although he has not been able to stabilize the world, but he has never forgotten his responsibility, he has to shoulder the Han family. He has good intentions, he is not a ruthless emperor, and when he fled with the army, he could have abandoned me and ignored him but desperately saved me. In order to relieve the people, he did not hesitate to find out the truth and severely punish the courtiers. If this is true to me and to the people, how much more is it Your Highness? He has always been forbearing, and he can suppress all the suffering in his heart, but no one can control his emotions, whether it is me, His Highness, or Your Majesty. Your Highness knows that that night, His Majesty said to me, 'Dong Lin! I want to go back to the Jiaofang Palace, and she is still waiting for me. In order to keep him, I was forced to tell the truth, the look on his face was a grief I had never seen before, he thought I was asleep and knew nothing, but I knew very well that he later braved the wind and rain to go to the Jiaofang Palace, I think he originally wanted to hear you explain this misunderstanding in person. His Majesty got drunk several times later, and often in the middle of the night, he secretly watched from outside the Jiaofang Hall alone, and I hid behind him and watched all this. Fu Shou, Your Majesty cares so much about you, why do you want to stay away from him? What's so hard to say? You and I are both women, you have affection for Your Majesty, will I not be able to see it? Since there is love, why should the two of them suffer together? I think that even if Your Highness and Your Majesty have many misunderstandings, you will still care about each other. Especially when I am unfortunately gone, you will definitely find a way to cheer up Your Majesty. Since they have affection for each other, why don't they join hands to talk about each other? Let's face what follows. Fu Shou, why don't you tell Your Majesty that you care about him, how much he wants to hear you say this in person. You told me that if you don't fight for it, you don't know what the outcome will be. I have always admired His Highness, who is intelligent, kind, brave and sincere, please don't let me down. What I have not been able to do, please do it for me. Fu Shou, you will understand, Your Majesty is still waiting for you, go quickly. Dong Lin is a masterpiece. ”

After Mo Yan read the letter, tears welled up in her eyes, and the crystal hot tears did not go for a long time, and finally rolled down. This letter was not only the fulfillment of her Dong Lin, but also inspired Mo Yan. All along, Mo Yan wanted to escape Liu Xie's feelings for her, she was afraid of being involved in the whirlpool of history, her selfishness hurt Liu Xie, and tortured everyone, including herself. "I like him, why not admit it. Dong Lin, thank you. It turns out that you are the most selfless and understanding person. Thank you. ”

Mo Yan put the letter back into the envelope, and she decided to keep it in the Jiaofang Palace. Mo Yan summoned Yu Niang, and wanted her to prepare pastries, but she hesitated for a while, but changed her words. "Yu Niang, please give me an empty food box, and I will go to the Chengguang Hall at night. When the time comes, Cheng'er will ask you to take care of it. ”

After retiring everyone, she dealt with the former "agreement" alone - one, the two sides did not disturb each other and did not infringe on their respective bottom lines. Second, before the birth of the child, the harmony of the husband and wife can be shown in front of others, and it cannot be crossed in private. Third, after the child is born, His Majesty will let Mo Yan leave the palace and return the jade pendant, and he must not regret it. The agreement is established, and if the two parties have the intention of repenting, the sky will not end well. Signed: Mo Yan, Liu Xie. The blood marks on the bamboo slips are still clearly visible.

The burning fire shone on Mo Yan's face, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. "Destroy it, see how you still drive me away. Liu Xie, you don't want to drive me away, I want to be by your side all the time. Even if the tragedy of history will be staged, I will never leave. No, with me, the tragedy would not have happened. ”

Chengguang Temple

It's night, it's time.

Mo Yan stood alone outside the Chengguang Palace, waiting for the report from the inner attendant. It wasn't long before the chamberlain turned back and saluted her. "Your Highness, Your Majesty said thank you for your kindness, and the food box will be given to the minister. His Majesty asked His Highness to go back earlier. ”

The waiter just reached out to receive the food box, but was pushed hard by Mo Yan, and the waiter was unexpected, and she pushed him to the ground. "I want to see him, and I am not allowed to disturb him. Keep it outside the temple. The chamberlain quickly got up and sighed, but had to obey His Highness's orders, muttering how a woman could be so strong.

Mo Yan was aggrieved and angry, he didn't want to see me like this? Even if it was her fault before, but she came, and she didn't want to see each other? She came to him in a rage, but he didn't lift his head, he didn't look at it, he only cared about the music in front of him. "Put it down, if it's okay, go back to the Jiaofang Hall first."

This was the first time Mo Yan had lost her temper in Chengguang Palace, she put down the food box and reached out to snatch the music in Liu Xie's hand. She saw that the mountains of music were very eyesore, so she pushed to the side. "What are you doing?" Liu Xie finally raised his head, his eyes, in addition to the mist under his eyes, were more angry.

Mo Yan knelt on the table and moved a little towards Liu Xie, she lowered her body and smiled. The smile is like a flower, delicate and lovely, and it adds a little seductive charm. "Hmm, Bohe can't see it? Naturally, I was throwing my arms into my husband's arms. Her last four words were said in Liu Xie's ear, wanting him to hear it more clearly.

"You...... Not. Liu Xie's protest gradually disappeared in Mo Yan's kiss. Mo Yan hugged Liu Xie's neck and took the initiative to kiss Liu Xie's lips, she kissed gently and lingeringly, she wanted to tell Liu Xie all her emotions, not only lingering kisses, but also words spoken in person.

"Bohe, I love you. Are you going to blame me for saying this too late? You don't want to drive me away, the original agreement was burned by me, and I will always be by your side. I will be your wife well, although I don't quite understand what you mean by a good wife and mother, but I will try my best to be your best wife and the best mother for Cheng'er. ”

"It's too late for you to repent. Otherwise, I want you to be by my side forever. ”

"No, let's pull the hook. No matter what the future holds, I will be by your side and accompany you on your way. The little fingers of the two pulled each other, and the thumbs were flipped up and stamped next to each other.

They countered each other, looked at each other and smiled, with strong affection, and finally untied the knot in each other's hearts.

"Bohe? What are you doing? ”

"You took the initiative just now, and now it's me."

"Hmm......"
