The King of Huaiyang failed to seek death. He had the determination to die, but did not have the strength to endure the torture. (Please allow me to always refer to the King of Huaiyang as "him", even if he is physically a woman.)
He held a high position and was pampered throughout his life.
I often do things that take a lot of effort, but I don't suffer any physical or physical pain.
So after one sentence, he couldn't stand it any longer.
And even if he can endure it himself, there are still others who cannot.
For example, Yao Yi, the steward of the Huaiyang Palace.
He begged the presiding officer to let him die quickly and stop torturing him if he confessed quickly.
His true identity is staggering.
He is not only Yao Chong's most capable confidant, but also his concubine, and the biological father of several of the Huaiyang King's children.
The story begins seventy years ago.
At that time, the old King Huaiyang married Princess Dachang, the aunt of Emperor Xuanqing.
However, the relationship between the couple was not harmonious.
The eldest princess has a noble status and a tough temperament, so the old King Huaiyang cannot get close to her.
He fell in love with a beloved concubine, and the two of them fell in love with each other and stayed together forever.
The eldest princess gave birth to a daughter in the second year after her marriage, but unfortunately, the child died when she was less than one year old.
In the same year, the beloved concubine gave birth to the old Huaiyang King's first son.
The king loves her like a treasure, and the concubine who is favored by her mother is more precious than her son, so she is loved even more.
Of course the eldest princess was unwilling to give in, but she still had a husband in her heart, so she didn't do anything too drastic at that time.
However, the old Huaiyang King was always lukewarm towards her, and he always seemed to leave her.
In the early winter of another year, the eldest princess planned to push the beloved concubine into the ice water.
No one dared to save her at that time, because they all knew that it was the eldest princess who wanted her to die.
But the old King Huaiyang jumped down, and although the beloved concubine was rescued, she could not save her life.
The old king of Huaiyang also caught wind and cold because of this, and he died in less than a month.
When he was dying, he still chanted the name of his beloved concubine.
This made the eldest princess resentful.
She ordered her concubine's son to be poisoned to death.
At that time, someone advised her that this child was the only son of King Huaiyang, and if he died, there would be no one to inherit the title.
But the eldest princess refused to let him go. Moreover, the eldest princess was six months pregnant at that time.
She firmly believed that her baby was a boy.
Three months later, the eldest princess gave birth.
He announced that he had given birth to a son and named him Chong.
Some people think that if the eldest princess had changed the child she gave birth to a boy, nothing would have happened later.
But this child was her only flesh and blood, so how could she bear to let him live outside?
What's more, this child is the only remaining relationship between her and her husband.
Even though she was resentful in her heart, she still loved the man who never gave her his true heart.
Therefore, although Yao Chong was born as a girl, his mother raised him as a boy since he was a child.
Very few people know the truth. The eldest princess made this move after a lot of careful consideration.
Therefore, she cultivated a group of loyal servants and asked them to guard Yao Chong.
Yao Yi was her carefully selected candidate.
He grew up with Yao Chong and was familiar with his personality and preferences.
And Yao Chong also trusted him very much.
The eldest princess knows that in order for Yao Chong to go far, there must be someone beside her who knows all his secrets and is loyal to him.
Character alone is not enough, there must also be entanglements of interests.
Therefore, all the children of King Huaiyang are descended from Yao Yi.
The king of Huaiyang married a concubine and took concubines. At night, no lights were allowed in the house.
None of the women dared to disobey him, and in the darkness, Yao Chong pretended to get out of bed to relieve himself, and the person who came back was Yao Yi.
After the concubine became pregnant, the King of Huaiyang stopped having sex with her.
For decades, he and Yao were known as master and servant, but in reality they were both husband and wife and accomplices.
Whoever betrays him, Yao Yi will not betray him, because whether it is the Queen or Yao Ruowei, they are both Yao Yi's children.
However, the funny thing is that in the end, Yao Yi chose to betray him in order to avoid suffering.
When Yao Yi was explaining, the queen, oh no, the deposed queen was right next to her.
Until this time, she still didn't want to face reality.
He yelled at Yao Yi hysterically: "You bitch slave! The Yao family has raised you for decades for nothing! You are a scumbag who only seeks glory!"
Yao Yi knelt on the ground, grinning, looking like crying and laughing at the same time, looking at her and said: "Empress! My empress! I am your biological father!
Whenever I think about my daughter’s mother-in-law, I wake up laughing in my dreams.”
"Shut up!" Yao Ruolan rushed up and slapped him hard, "I'm going to kill you!"
But it was quickly pulled away.
"Where is my father?! I want to see my father! I won't believe a word these people say!" Yao Ruolan straightened her back, her eyes blazing, like a lone she-wolf.
The emperor allowed them to meet.
So Yao Ruolan was taken to the cell where Yao Chong was imprisoned.
The cell was eight feet square and was neither dark nor dirty.
There is a wooden bed with complete bedding.
Yao Chong had his hair down and was wearing a prison uniform, sitting barefoot on the edge of the bed.
Yao Ruolan rushed forward, hugged his legs and cried: "Father, who made you do this? They are slandering you! Think of a way! Think of a way!"
Yao Chong raised his hand and gently touched Yao Ruolan's cheek. His voice was extremely old and tired: "My child, just think of it as a dream. Don't be too persistent, everything is empty."
Yao Ruolan shook her head desperately, this was not the father she knew.
Her father was brave, decisive and far-sighted.
"You...you are really..." Yao Ruolan was unwilling to give in. She wanted to know the truth, but she was afraid of knowing the truth.
"What Yao Yi said is true." Yao Chong nodded slowly, "We have lost, let's admit defeat!"
Yao Ruolan's eyes widened in horror, her mouth was open and she couldn't close it no matter what.
It was funny and ugly. If someone had told her that one day she would have such an expression, she would never believe it.
It turns out that her father, who is respected by the world, is actually a woman!
It turns out that her status is not noble at all, but even dirty and despicable.
It turns out that the status and glory that she thought was within her reach were actually miles away from her.
It turns out that the emperor has never given her sincerity for so many years. What he wants to do most is to eradicate himself and the forces behind him.
How pathetic and ridiculous you are!
The eldest princess is a stupid woman! She turned her daughter into a monster for a man who doesn't love her.
Yao Chong is also a stupid woman! She even created a bunch of evil obstacles including herself!
She is also a stupid woman! She helped her husband ascend to the position of king, but she became a prisoner!
Look at the warm spring clouds. This chapter has been completed!
