Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Long Way Home, Two Hearts Close (4)
When his face was fully visible to me, I was stunned. Because, he is the person who called himself Liuyun to me half a year ago. And he is actually the monarch of the Min Kingdom, our high emperor, Rong Chenxuan.
At this moment, I finally remembered why I felt familiar when I first saw him, because I had seen him in the crowd when the army he led returned to the court that day. Although it was a short time, I made a note of what he looked like. But that night, when we talked face-to-face, I couldn't remember anything.
At this moment, I also understood why I became Zhaoyi, it turned out that it was all because of him, he was the emperor, and there was nothing in the world that he wanted to do but couldn't do. But I really can't believe that he is the emperor, and he is actually the emperor. He said that I had been married, but now he named me his Zhaoyi. What does he want to do in his heart? And all this is what I don't know?
I just want to know who I am and who my husband is. My story, my past.
And now, my husband is about to become him again, could it be that all the words he said are lying to me? Just so that I can tell him where my family lives, the purpose is to make me his woman, right?
He looked at me affectionately, and approached me step by step, with a feeling in his eyes that I could not read. I took a few steps back and stopped him, "Don't come here, I believed you because I didn't think you were a bad person." Now that you're doing this to me, what kind of heart do you have? ”
His steps stopped, and he frowned slightly, "What did I do to you now?" Let you be my Zhaoyi because..."At this point, he stopped, for a long time, and then continued: "Lin Yan, I just want you to stay by my side, and the rest is not important. ”
"Why?" I asked rhetorically, because I felt that the matter was no longer easy, "Do you just want me to stay with you?" If so, why bother? You are the emperor, how simple is it to want a woman, and you still need to go to such a great length? ”
"If it had been someone else, I wouldn't have been like this. But that person is none other than you, so everything has to be seamless, it has to be! The last two words, his tone was a little heavier, although I didn't understand it, I didn't understand the meaning of his words. I don't know why I want to be seamless, is it so difficult for him to canonize a Zhaoyi?
His eyes were burning back and forth on my face, as if he was looking at something, "From now on, you are Lin Yan, the biological daughter of Suzhou businessman Lin De, Lin Yan, a woman with an ordinary background and no past." ”
His words made me stunned, how could I be a person with an ordinary background and no past? I'm just a daughter rescued by my father, a daughter who has lost her memory. I have my life experience, I have my past, because I already know that my original name was Zhen Luo, Chu Zhenluo.
It makes me feel that none of this is as simple as I imagined. Actually, I haven't thought of it all as simple, but compared to the current situation, I think it's a little complicated. Perhaps, he has never been simple.
"How could I not have passed, my name is Zhen Luo, I just have amnesia, I just can't remember the past. Don't be presumptuous and think that I will listen to you, and I don't need to listen to you. Because, I don't plan to be your Zhaoyi, please let me go, I want to go back to Suzhou. "I don't know where the courage came from to say this to the emperor. Come to think of it, those words could have killed me.
I understand that my character is unpleasant, at least, for now.
Whether it is the imperial court or the harem, no one has spoken to him like this! I regret that I could have said such unbelievable things. I thought he would be angry and furious. But he didn't, he just looked at me very calmly, "If you want your parents to be safe, from now on, you can't mention any amnesia or Zhen Luo." You are Lin Yan, Lin De's biological daughter, Lin Yan. I am now canonized Zhaoyi, Lin Zhaoyi. After thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "I forgot to tell you, Ziqian and I just mistook you for Zhen Luo, but in fact, you just look very similar to her." Zhen Luo is dead. ”
I stared at him stunned, my lips slightly open in disbelief.
Am I just being mistaken for them? That's it? Or is there another reason? It is precisely because I look like the woman named Zhen Luo that I have the scene half a year ago, so that I have reached this point today.
It turns out, so it is.
I probably guessed that Zhen Luo and him have a past!
What he said made me more and more disgusted, because I hated such a person, and whether his intentions were good or bad, it didn't mean anything to me. It's just because I look like the woman he knows named Zhen Luo that he circled me around him and even asked me to be his woman?
"Zhen Luo, who are you?" I asked without thinking, even though I already had the answer in my mind. Who else can make the emperor so concerned today, besides the concubine? After Concubine Chen left, what he did was incomprehensible. So, when he met me, who looked like his concubine, he finally couldn't hold it back, so he had me as a stand-in, Lin Zhaoyi?
"I don't think it's necessary to answer you. You just need to remember that you are Lin Yan, and now Lin Zhaoyi. Remember what I said to you today, otherwise your parents will be in danger. After speaking, he turned and left without hesitation.
I looked at his back, as if what I saw was my appearance, which brought trouble to my parents, "Just because I look like Zhen Luo, you will be like this, just because I look like your former concubine, you will be like this... Is that right? I repeated the words over and over again until he disappeared from under my eyes.
This night is destined to be sleepless. I couldn't believe in myself and ended up being a stand-in. This palace, even if everything is good, but compared with my home, there is a lot less warmth, here, there is no freedom, no affection, only the struggle between women and women, only calculating others.
I don't know when, the jade pillow was wet with tears, did I cry? When I brushed my cheek with my hand, it was a wet patch. It turns out that I will also have heartache and tears.
With a "creak", the door of my dormitory was slowly pushed open, and the sound was crisp in the already silent night. A fresh breeze blew through my messy hair. By prestige, there was one more person in my dormitory, a man to be exact. It's a man I know, though.
He walked over with hurried steps and pulled me up from the bed, "Go, I'll take you away!" ”
"Ziqian?" I cried out in confusion, what was he doing?
He looked at me, puzzled, "This is not the place for you to stay, I'll take you away." Besides, you don't want to stay in this place, do you? ”
I shook my head slightly, because the emperor's words were still disturbing my ears, "I can't go, if I leave, what will happen to my father?" Even though they weren't my biological parents. After a pause, I raised my eyes and stared at him very firmly, "Ziqian, am I Zhen Luo?" ”
His body trembled, and he exhaled very calmly, and his eyes slowly closed, as if my question bothered him very much, "No, you just look very similar to Zhen Luo." Zhen Luo is already dead. ”
"Dead?" I smiled, looking very weak, "She is not dead, because she has always lived in the emperor's heart." ”
"Lin Yan, as long as you speak, I will take you away. Don't always think about others, think for yourself. His voice was very deep, without a hint of pretense. I know very well why he would say such a thing to an unfamiliar person. Is it because of that person named Zhen Luo? By the way, she is the emperor's concubine.
But I can't go.
Looking at the pitch black outside the door, I seemed to have thought about it for a long time, but there was nothing in my mind, "I can't go!" Ziqian, although I don't know Zhen Luo, I don't know what happened to her in the palace and the emperor. But I am already Zhaoyi canonized by the emperor. If I were gone, you should be able to imagine what the situation would be, and the first person to be implicated would be my father and mother. Since you have been with the emperor for many years, you should also know how inappropriate it is to trespass into the palace of the concubines, so you should leave quickly! Before anyone else finds out about you. ”
"Do you really want to stay?" He asked again.
"Why are you helping me?" I asked him rhetorically, sneered for a moment, and continued: "Or is it because I look like her?" ”
He finally fell silent, stared at me in obscurity, and then sighed lightly for a long time and slowly left.
In the end, what kind of past did that Zhen Luo have with the emperor and even Ziqian. The emperor trapped me in the palace in every way, but Ziqian wanted to take me away at the risk of bullying the king.
I stood in the middle of the dormitory for a long time, until it was dawn, and the palace maid Qiaoli pushed the door in, which made me feel a little conscious. She stared at me in astonishment, "Niangniang, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
I bowed my head, and she smiled again: "Is it that the emperor didn't come, are you a little disappointed?" ”
I glanced at her suddenly, and she hurriedly lowered her head, "Niangniang, the slave is too talkative." ”
I shook my head slightly, "When I first arrived at the palace, I want you to be by my side to remind me what to do, what not to do, what to say, and what not to say..." Niangniang is going to say hello to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother today, and in the Queen Mother's Qifeng Palace, she will know the concubines of the harem one by one. Hurry up and dress up, and the slave will accompany you. ”
"The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother?" I was coldly confined, I had heard that the women in this harem were the most severe. And the queen has never been an easy master to get along with.
I took several deep breaths, knowing that my future life would be very difficult.
But no matter what, for the sake of my father and mother, I have to be patient. If there is a chance to leave the palace in the future, he will definitely stay by their side and never leave for a moment.
But is there still such a chance? Anything else?
