Volume 1 Retrospective Chapter 9 Retrospective (7)
As soon as Shen Yanshu died, Zhao Su tried his best to preserve her body, and invited countless Taoist monks to summon her soul and seal her soul in the corpse. From then on, he rummaged through the ancient books and searched for the way to be reborn. I just want to be able to live with her one day. I have been persisting in this long-cherished dream for more than 20 years, and I have never given up for a moment. ”
In an elegant courtyard, I saw a young man with clear eyebrows dancing with rich expressions, dancing and telling the story vividly. The kind-faced old man sitting next to him listened fascinated, and wrote and drew in his notebook.
"And then?" the old man looked curious.
The young man rolled his eyes without any baggage, "Then you made a deal with Changming Palace, why are you so stupid." Sure enough, when you are old, you will not be useful. ”
The old man was not annoyed, he stroked his long beard with a smile, and said, "It seems that this Zhao Su is also an infatuated lover." ”
"Bah!" the young man slapped the table, stood up, stepped on the stone bench with his right foot, and said indignantly: "Infatuation? This kind of person is selfish, he only loves himself!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Zhao Su actually has four sons and three daughters. ”
"How?"
"Stupid!" the young man looked helpless, "He and Shen Yanshu have only been married for two years, and the latter has died, how can he have so many children!"
"Could it be that Zhao Su married another room?" the old man looked puzzled.
There are at least a dozen concubines in the palace, but they haven't set up a main room. ”
"Why is this? Doesn't it mean that there is only one person who has been thinking about Zhao Su for more than 20 years?"
"That's because, after Shen Yanshu died, Zhao Su searched everywhere for women who looked similar to her or had similar personalities, and that's how those concubines came. In fact, Zhao Su and Shen Yanshu have only one child, that is, the eldest son of the palace. The rest were born to those concubines. The boy said.
"I see. The old man was thoughtful.
The young man also wiped the stone bench that he had just stepped on with his sleeve, and sat down again, with his hands on his cheeks, as if meditating.
Xin Yi saw the two of them from afar, she saluted the old man, and sat down.
"Zhaoyun, what do you want?" she asked.
When the young man heard someone calling him, he was suddenly startled, only to realize that there was another person beside him.
"Hehe, Zhaoyun said that he was tired, take a break. The old man laughed.
"Fusang Lao'er, speak well!" Zhaoyun said.
Mr. Fuso smiled but did not say a word.
"I'm just thinking," Zhaoyun's tone changed from the previous excitement to a soothing, "I used to ask a person if a person would love only one person in his life. He said he would. Even if something happens later, I'll find a similar one. No matter how many people a person meets in his life, in the end, he will find that there is only one person you really love. Zhao Su may be like this. ”
After speaking, the three of them fell silent.
"No, then why did you say that Zhao Su was selfish? Isn't this more proof that Zhao Su is deeply affectionate?" said Mr. Fusang.
Zhaoyun instantly gained momentum, stood up again, and stepped on the stone bench with his right foot. He said:
"There are three reasons! First, Chu Ji Xianjun and I went to see Zhao Su with the old knowledge, so we know everything in the past. ”
"Wait, know the old?" Xin Yi asked, it was the same raccoon raised in the Changming Palace, which resembled an ape. Legend has it that he knew the past, but he could not know the future. )?”
"Yes, I gave him this name, it's amazing. "Zhaoyun Road.
Xin Yi nodded.
"Oh, why is it interrupted again," Zhaoyun realized that the topic was deviated, and returned to the point.
"Knowing the old tells us that this Shen Yanshu doesn't like Zhao Su at all, and Zhao Su is just taking it by force. Because of this, Shen Yanshu married Zhao Su against her will, was depressed all day, and was forced to become pregnant by Zhao Su. Zhao Su originally wanted to use the child to tie Shen Yanshu to his side for the rest of his life, but he didn't want to, Shen Yanshu was already deteriorating because of the depression in his mind and body, and after giving birth, he became even weaker. In the end, he died physically and mentally exhausted.
Therefore, Zhao Su was wishful thinking from beginning to end, and Shen Yanshu actually had other loves. A person who can't love but has to spend this life with a person who doesn't love has children, and death is a relief for her. But this Zhao Su refused to let her go even if she was alive and dead, and tried his best to summon her soul, resulting in Shen Yan being able to live for more than 20 years but not being able to live beyond her life, and her soul was trapped in her body every day for half a life, and she was in pain. You say, how selfish Zhao Su is!
Second, Zhao Su looked for a woman similar to Shen Yanshu after Shen Yanshu's death, to put it bluntly, he was looking for a replacement, and there was more than one. At best, it sounded like a pain of lovesickness, but he completely ignored the promise he made to Shen Yanshu at the wedding and betrayed his loyalty to the latter.
But he didn't care. even thinks that it is natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and loving one in his heart does not mean that he must marry only one. High-sounding affection is nothing more than an excuse for possessiveness. For him, Shen Yanshu is his unique thing, and this life must be owned by him. But he didn't care about Shen Yanshu's feelings at all, and he didn't want to think about how Shen Yanshu felt when he knew that he had raised so many women in the palace. He only cares about himself, he only cares about whether he is satisfied or not.
"Third, on that day, Zhao Su summoned me and Chu Ji Xianjun, Chu Ji Xianjun said that the price was to exchange his life for his life, and he was unwilling to exchange his life, so he thought of his own flesh and blood. Chu Ji Xianjun told him that he would exchange a son for a wife, and he agreed without thinking about it.
"Tiger venom does not eat children. He never thought about whether sending a son to Changming Hall was to enjoy happiness or to die, because he didn't care about those children. Especially for the third son, he is extremely disgusted. It's just because the biological mother of the third son is a fireworks girl. You say, shouldn't this kind of person be pulled out and killed?!"
After Zhaoyun finished speaking, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Mr. Fuso and Xin Yi both nodded in agreement.
"Wait, isn't the third prince of Zhao the chosen by our king?" Xin Yi said puzzled.
"Who said that?" asked Zhaoyun.
"I heard that the king himself said it. ”
"Nonsense, Zhao Su's matter was previously managed by Chu Ji Xianjun and me, and it was only because Chu Ji Xianjun had something to take a leave of absence that it was left to Jun Shang to deal with the aftermath. Before that, Jun Shang hadn't even hit Zhao Su's front, let alone seen any Zhao Sangongzi. These three sons were originally chosen by Zhao Su himself, otherwise how could he bring him to Changming Palace!"
Xin Yi thought for a moment, "I see. ”
"Then why did you say that? He said that he had chosen himself, and he put this black hat on his head and became a bad guy. Zhao Gongzi was reluctant to stay, so wouldn't it make Zhao Gongzi hate her even more?" Xin Yi said.
"I think Shenjun just doesn't want Zhao Gongzi to be sad and sad to know that he was ruthlessly abandoned by his biological father. After all, among the Six Realms, there are very few people who can break free from the emotions of flesh and blood. Shenjun just didn't want Zhao Gongzi to be obsessed with this matter. simply being a bad guy can also make Zhao Gongzi not so disappointed. Mr. Fuso said.
Zhaoyun and Xin Yi both nodded.
Zhao Yuanxi, who was outside the small courtyard, heard everything.
His eyes were full of coldness, and his intuition was extremely cold.
He also remembered what Zhao Su said before coming to Changming Palace.
"Yuan Yu, accompany my father to a place. ”
"Where?"
"You don't need to know that. ”
"Don't go. Zhao Yuanxi felt that he took the initiative to come to him, and there must be no good thing.
"I remember that your mother also had a younger brother who was in the spice business in the capital. ”
"What do you want?" Zhao Yuanxi was furious, and he actually threatened himself with his uncle.
"Do you say yes or no. If you promise to come with me, I will keep his family safe. ”
"I hope my father will do what he says. ”
"That's nature. ”
At that time, Zhao Susui didn't tell him the intention of bringing him to Changming Palace, but he was not stupid, and he had a premonition in his heart for many things.
Later, Shenjun said that she personally chose herself, and Zhao Yuanxi could only accept her fate.
But the truth is...... Zhao Su personally chose to sacrifice himself.
