Chapter 162: Past Grievances

Lan Ling'er was slightly stunned, she was going to ask just now, but she was afraid that Dongfang Zhi would remember the past and affect her mood, so she didn't say a word, but she didn't want to, but now she brought it up herself.

Seeing Lan Ling'er's face, Dongfang Zhi chuckled and said, "Although I don't care much about the things outside, your brother has more or less told me that my father has always been a mysterious prince of Amaterasu, and everyone has all kinds of speculations about him, and my father has long been used to it, so he doesn't explain much." It's just that many of the bits and pieces of it, how can outsiders know about it, even today's emperor may not know. ”

When she came out of the 'Yuxuan Pavilion', it was already the middle of the moon, and seeing Lan Xuan's long body standing in the courtyard, Lan Ling'er was slightly stunned, "When did you come back?" Why don't you go in? ”

Hearing this, Lan Xuan turned around, the warm smile on his face was as good as ever, but at some point, he was dyed with a trace of sadness, "Seeing that you guys were chatting happily, I didn't bother anymore, and I just came back not long ago." ”

"How's the Emperor's condition?" Lan Ling'er stood in front of Lan Xuan and asked softly.

Sighing lightly, Lan Xuan said, "The Imperial Doctor has not yet had a result, and it is difficult to cure it." ”

"Dongfang Qi Ke went to see the emperor?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Lan Xuan's eyes, and he said, "I've been there, what's wrong?" ”

Shaking her head, Lan Ling'er chuckled and said, "It's okay, brother hurry up and go in to accompany my sister-in-law, no matter how I accompany you, it's not as good as you!" ”

After saying it with a little joking, he saw Lan Ling'er leave in steps, and before he walked out of the courtyard gate, he frowned, put away his smile, and glanced at the slightly cool moonlight, Lan Ling'er was not in a hurry to return to Lingyue Pavilion. Instead, he is digesting the past grievances of the royal family that Fang Dongfang Zhi said.

It turned out that Concubine Rou was just a woman in the rivers and lakes, at that time, Dongfang Mad and Dongfang Su were just princes, and they had a good relationship without a battle for the throne. went out together, but also met Duanmutang at the same time.

Jiangnan, where the grass grows and the warbler flies, is originally a little more tender and sweet than elsewhere, and the handsome son meets the innocent and arrogant, but lovely children of the rivers and lakes, and naturally falls in love at first sight. What is embarrassing is that these two brothers actually fell in love with Duanmutang at the same time.

No matter how good the relationship between the two brothers is, Duanmutang can only choose one person. During that time, the three of them walked the rivers and lakes, and they lived an unhappy life, and they all lingered in their hearts when they think about it now.

Although Dongfang Su is an elder brother, his temperament is much more straightforward than Dongfang Maniac, so he couldn't help but find out his feelings with Duanmutang first. didn't want to be rejected, it turned out that during the time when the three of them were together, Duanmutang had already fallen in love with his younger brother.

Disheartened, he can only bless. The feelings are clear, but there is a little less embarrassment, in the future, the contacts between Duanmutang and Dongfang Su seem to be getting closer and closer, Dongfang Maniac naturally sees it in his eyes, mistakenly thinking that they are concubines, but he doesn't know the topic between them, and he has never left him.

In the years that followed, the battle for the throne became more and more obvious, and Dongfang Su had no interest in the throne in the first place. But he was innocently implicated, and who really understands the various reasons for this.

A struggle for power made the princes of the former emperor dead, wounded, and disabled, but they were helpless. With the help of the eldest princess, Dongfang Madness stood out like this, and the situation seemed to be doomed. Duanmutang was originally a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, how could he protect himself in such a bottomless whirlpool?

The misunderstanding between her and Dongfang Mad also deepened, until later, Dongfang Su was killed, and Duanmutang turned to Dongfang Mad for help, although he saved Dongfang Su's life, but also ruined Dongfang Mad's last trust.

Duanmutang married Dongfang Maniac, this is certain, but her proud and domineering personality has offended many people. She was originally a woman who flew in the sky with wings, and she lived in the harem, as if someone had tied her wings.

The most important thing is that these wings are actually the dead knot that the man he loves the most is tying little by little. Duanmutang has resentment and hatred, but in the end, it was also the strong love and the sincerity of the Oriental Maniac that moved her.

The good times didn't last long, and the oriental madness who had just ascended to the throne needed to have his own power, and all kinds of beauties continued to pour in the harem, Duanmutang saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. Until Concubine Yun entered the palace, at that time, the emperor needed to rely on her brother's power, and for a while, Concubine Yun favored the harem.

The arrogant and domineering Concubine Yun far surpassed Duanmutang's pride and arrogance, and the emperor gradually snubbed Duanmutang on his face, until later, Dongfang Su took the initiative to ask Ying to go to a remote place. The emperor agreed, and Concubine Rou saw him off.

Concubine Rou was pregnant with a son, but in the end, she died. The emperor knew that she was sad, but he didn't know that in this dark harem, this child was all her light. The emperor knew who was behind it, but he never sought justice for her.

She had hatred in her heart, she originally thought that when the power of the Yun family fell, the emperor would return her, but she didn't want to, even if the Yun family was powerless now, there was also a second prince who was talented and loved by the people.

It's just that when I think of today's Concubine Rou, she has long since lost the spirit of the rivers and lakes of the past, and only the weakness of a woman remains, thinking about it, many years of palace life have already erased her pride and arrogance. If she really chooses Dongfang Su to fall, it's okay, at least she can get out of this cage.

According to Dongfang Zhi, when she was in the palace, Concubine Rou also took good care of her, and now, maybe she also regrets it. Lan Ling'er couldn't help but think of the woman she saw in the side hall during the emperor's birthday banquet. is over half a hundred years old, but she is still as bright and moving as a young woman, but the resentment in her eyes can't be hidden.

When Duanmu Tang became Concubine Rou, she also changed her name to Duanmu Rou, and few people knew that her original nickname was 'Tang Tang', the woman that the emperor had in mind. The emperor is ashamed of her. Now, he holds all the power in his own hands, but Duanmutang has never asked him again.

Mourning is greater than heart death, all Duanmutang's hopes and waitings have already been worn away by the emperor, and in the end, they have all turned into despair, how can she make another request, and how can she believe that this man who only has power in his eyes will satisfy her?

Su Wangye's death, Concubine Rou didn't know that it was done by Dongfang Mania, but now she is no longer the stumbling woman she was at the beginning, she knows how to grasp people's hearts, knows how to observe words and feelings, and knows how to calculate.

But I don't want there to be such a grudge in the royal family, and the reason why Prince Su has stayed in a remote place all these years may also be because of his gratitude and guilt to Duanmutang. He was an outsider, how could he not know about the misunderstanding between the emperor and her?

But just because he knows, he can't meddle rashly, otherwise, it will be a place of no return.

It's just that, in the end, none of them got out of that emotional scar. The emperor thought that Concubine Rou really loved Dongfang Su, but Concubine Rou couldn't see Dongfang Mania's love for her. The torment between the two continues to this day, but it is really admirable.

It is no wonder that the emperor is so crazy that he will let the Begonia Hall bloom with undefeated begonia flowers all year round, but he gradually rarely passes. Begonia flowers bloom like a dream, Duanmutang is his dream, want to touch, but afraid of the grief of the broken dream, so he has been kept, dare not approach.

Concubine Rou may also know about the begonia flowers, or maybe she just knows, so that Dongfang Qi used various potions to cultivate those flowers that are as bright as rainbows. It's just that she didn't know that the flower was prepared for her. The mother of the Oriental sun, Xin Guiren, loves begonias, and she was also spoiled for a while.

In the end, who did Xin Guiren die at, was it Concubine Yun or Concubine Rou? Or she was originally a bad fate, with this suffering, no one knows, even if she knows, it is meaningless, Dongfang Jiaoyang has won the emperor's favor, and Concubine Rou is more and more pity.

The harem was originally a land of wolves and tigers, and Duanmutang was able to live in it for so long and still be unscathed, which proves that she is no longer the original naïve.

"Miss, why don't you come in?"

Yi Xue couldn't help but be slightly shocked when she saw the figure at the door of Lingyue Pavilion, but she also called softly.

Lan Ling'er came back to her senses at this time, glanced at the surrounding scene, and realized that she had entered the gate of this courtyard at some point.

When she entered the house, Yishuang hurriedly put on her cloak, and kept chanting, "Miss is such a cold day, I didn't wear much and went out, just now Sister Xue and I were going to pick you up in Gongzi's courtyard, but I heard that Mrs. said that you had already left, and I didn't want to come back by myself now, but my hands were cold." ”

Lan Ling'er listened to the chattering words in her ear, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and shook her head funny, the personalities of Yi Xue and Yi Shuang just complement each other. Yi Xue is more stable and mature in everything, while Yi Shuang is lively and talks a lot.

Hurriedly holding Yishuang's little hand, Lan Ling'er chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, I know, I must wear more when I go out in the future." ”

Hearing Lan Ling'er's assurance, Yishuang didn't care at all, and complained: "Miss didn't say that once, but in the end she forgot about it." I don't wear shoes at every turn this winter, but now I'm in the house, and I just put a blanket on the ground. It's just that if one day, it's not so convenient in the house, isn't it going to freeze? ”

Seeing that Yishuang seemed to be out of control, Lan Ling'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she deliberately straightened her face and called softly: "Yishuang, otherwise I will let you be this young lady." ”

Sure enough, Yi Shuang immediately silenced and silently cleaned up the bed for Lan Ling'er.

Seeing this, Yi Xue on the side laughed out loud, took off the hairpin on Lan Ling'er's head, and the green silk slipped down like a waterfall, indescribably soft, and while combing her hair, she chuckled and said: "What Yi Shuang said is not unreasonable, Miss usually has to pay more attention." ”

"Huh... Why haven't you seen Mu Shizi come over recently? His words, the young lady was obedient. ”

Yi Shuang's brainless words suddenly made Lan Ling'er's face change, but it was only a moment's stunned, Yi Xue, who was close to her, naturally felt it, and hurriedly gave Yi Shuang a look, and saw that she quietly glanced at Lan Ling'er, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, she stuck out her tongue, but this time she really didn't dare to say anything more.
