1164.Chapter 1164 Sadness Alone, Remembrance for a Lifetime
"This palace looks at you, it's a little 'familiar'."
When Chang Qing finished saying this, even through a door, I could feel that Yang Jinqiao's whole person was suffocated, like a wild beast suddenly found itself in a hunter's trap. Her face turned pale, but she didn't say anything, just kept her head down.
Then, she slowly knelt in front of Chang Qing.
I seemed to see a dead gray on her pale face.
At this moment, listening to the different breathing, whispering and whispering of those people outside, as well as Chang Qing's earth-shattering question, suddenly, the cause and effect of the whole thing was completely clear in my heart.
Yang Yunhui...... Yang Jinqiao...... Sun Jingfei......
It turns out that it is.
I looked back at Pei Yuanhao, he was still silent, and the expression on his face was extraordinarily calm, as if what happened outside had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Chang Qing had already walked in front of Yang Jinqiao, a gust of wind blew, and it also blew into this apse, my face was frozen and became more and more pale, but I still looked outside without blinking, only to see Chang Qing gently clutch the leather cage in his hand, and said slowly: "Raise your head." ”
“……”
Yang Jinqiao slowly raised his head.
In the crowd, several people gasped.
"Oh my God, that's not—"
"Is it really her?"
"How so?!"
"Isn't she already ...... Dead? ”
"You don't know, at the Yang family's birthday banquet a while ago, I heard that she appeared. And ......"
The whispered discussions of the people around did not disturb Chang Qing and Yang Jinqiao's eyes at all, and when I looked at the two of them like this, I suddenly had a little strange feeling - they, one was and the other is now, they are all Pei Yuanhao's women, and they are all women who helped Pei Yuanhao stabilize his harem at different times, but after he succeeded in winning the heir, Yang Jinqiao "retired", and Chang Qing sat on the throne of the mother's world. If Yang Jinqiao was still by the emperor's side at that time, then she and Chang Qing didn't know what kind of road they would take.
Ally? Or is it the opposite?
When Chang Qing died in Dongzhou, the only thing he remembered before he died was these two women, but now, the golden hairpin he sent was held tightly in Chang Qing's hands, and the two of them were facing each other like this, what did they think of?
Chang Qing "looked at" her for a while, then took a step back, glanced at the concubines who followed her, and said slowly: "A few days ago, the palace often summoned the second lady of the Yang family into the palace to accompany her, and today it seems that this person is a little similar to that Miss Yang Jinyao. ”
As she spoke, she glanced back at the people around her: "You say, yes?" ”
The people around nodded yes.
However, no one said that sentence.
Chang Qing glanced down at the hairpin in his hand again, and said slowly: "Why did you want Sun Jingfei to steal such a thing from the palace and give it to you?" ”
“……”
"Do you know what kind of crime it is to steal from the palace?"
“……”
Yang Jinqiao's face became more and more pale, and at this moment, my heart was also a little tight.
Chang Qing asked Yang Jinqiao these words, and none of them directly named her identity as "Miss Yang Family", but she knocked on the side and blocked Yang Jinqiao's way from any aspect.
In fact, before Pei Yuanhao appeared at Yang Wanyun's birthday banquet, Yang Jinqiao came forward to take down the cup of poisonous wine, it is impossible to hide this matter, besides, I have already sued the queen, but now she is bringing so many people to block Yang Jinqiao, and the matter will be said separately.
First, she wanted Yang Jinqiao to "show up", and second, she was still waiting for Pei Yuanhao's statement.
After the Yang family met Yang Jinqiao, Pei Yuanhao has never had a clear attitude towards how to deal with this "resurrected" lady, and Chang Qing cannot rashly admit her identity to the world and reintegrate her into the harem, after all, Pei Yuanhao has not opened this mouth yet; But for Chang Qing, Yang Jinyao, who doesn't understand anything, is even a little reckless, and will cause trouble to himself, is well versed in the rules of survival in the harem, and Yang Jinqiao, who also knows how to check and balance all parties, is the real help.
I never knew that Chang Qing was such a scheming person, or such a skillful person.
Or, in fact, she should have been such a person, otherwise, her back position would not have been stable in Shen Rou under the impact of Nangong Lizhu so many times.
It's just that in the past, she didn't have such an obvious edge.
Since returning to Beijing this time, I have found that she is different from the past, after all, now, it is impossible for her to have any more children, Nian Shen was canonized as the crown prince again, but there are still princes born in the palace, at this time, the reset of Nangong Lizhu must be a great threat to her and Nian Shen, so she can't sit still.
But......
She is still waiting for Pei Yuanhao's statement.
She must know that Pei Yuanhao is in the apse, and the twists and turns he says to Yang Jinqiao now are all waiting for Pei Yuanhao to come forward.
As long as Pei Yuanhao comes forward and publicly acknowledges the identity of this Mrs. Jin Qiao, Yang Jinqiao can no longer stay outside the palace and must enter the palace.
If Pei Yuanhao didn't show up at this moment, that is, he was silently telling her, he didn't plan to admit Yang Jinqiao into the palace again. In this case, none of Chang Qing's previous words directly pointed to Yang Jinqiao's identity, of course, he could find an excuse to leave this matter behind.
Thinking of this, I looked back at Pei Yuanhao, and there was a trace of worry in my eyes.
How will he express his position?
At this time, he also looked at me slowly, although the atmosphere outside was already a little tense, but his expression was very indifferent, even a little cold.
He said slowly: "What, are you also waiting for me to make a statement?" ”
I looked at him and said, "Who does the emperor want?" ”
"What do you think?"
I said: "The emperor's heart of heaven can be guessed how light it is." ”
He slowly walked up to me, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Yan Qingqing, what you are doing is not just speculating about Tianxin?" ”
I looked up at him and didn't speak.
In the close eye of the two of them, his breathing gradually became tight, and he could almost feel my trembling and extreme depression, but after he took a deep breath, he didn't go any further, but relaxed a little, and said in a low voice: "What do you think I should choose?" ”
“……”
"Is it Yang Jinqiao, or Yang Jinyao?"
"This, this is the emperor's family matter."
"If I asked you to make this choice, who would you like?"
“……”
"I know, in your heart, you want me to go out now, recognize Yang Jinqiao's identity, and include her in the harem again."
“……”
"In that case, Yang Jinyao won't have to enter the palace again, right?"
My eyes flickered, I raised my head to look at him, and my business trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, will you choose this way?" ”
He's right, and deep down in my heart, I do hope so.
Because, I know very well how painful and desperate a person with a heart will be after being forced into the harem.
Obviously, there is a person who he loves deeply, but he can't love it, and he doesn't even dare to approach it lightly, because every wrong step is not a simple misdemeanor, misbehavior, or punishment, nor is it simply being poked in the back, but it may be the anger of the emperor and the calamity that affects the relatives.
If it were me, if it was Yang Jinqiao, we could endure it, and we would have learned to endure it a long time ago.
But Yang Jinyao, she won't.
If she enters the harem, what awaits her will be doomed sooner or later.
But I also know that such a choice is unfair to Yang Jinqiao, although she will endure it, although she has endured it for so many years, after all, she should also have her own life, even if Yang Yunhui is dead, she also has the right to grieve alone and remember it for a lifetime, a woman like her may not necessarily be attached to a man in this life, let alone sacrifice her loneliness for the happiness of her sister.
It's like a dead game.
No matter how you choose, there is a woman who weeps.
Pei Yuanhao looked at me quietly and said, "It's because Yang Jinyao's heart belongs, so you hope her dreams come true, right?" ”
A dream come true?
When I heard these four words, I felt like I had been stabbed.
Once upon a time, someone promised me with such four words, making my dream come true, and I naively believed it, but in the end, it was almost the end of the world, and all my expectations and longings were in front of me, and I was ruined by this man.
And Yang Jinyao, her good dream, has actually been shattered.
Wu Yanqiu will not marry her, no matter whether she enters the palace or not, she will not be able to fulfill this dream.
I raised my head and looked at Pei Yuanhao, and said slowly: "I think, whether other people's good dreams can come true or not should be a consideration that can affect the decision of His Majesty the Emperor." ”
“……”
"Other people's good dreams are not what His Majesty the Emperor wants to care about."
He looked at me and smiled faintly.
In that smile, there seems to be a lot of clarity, perhaps, that scene many years ago, not only for me, but also for him, it is not so easy to forget.
"You're right, whether other people's dreams can come true or not is indeed not a matter of concern to me."
“……”
"So, why do I have to accept Yang Jinqiao instead of Yang Jinyao?"
My heart sank.
"If that's the case......"
"If that's the case," he cut me off, looked down into my eyes, and said word by word, "what if I'll talk to you about that question again?" ”
All of a sudden, my face turned pale.
His eyes flickered, like the tip of a needle, with a sharpness that made people's skin hurt, he looked straight at me, and said word by word: "What if now, I still want you to go back to four years ago?" ”
“……”
"Would you like to?"
