He Yi finally became the princess's wife, but her imperial edict has not yet come down.
Some people say that the emperor seems to still remember the former Wei Guogong's wife.
Also, He Tian was critically ill several times back then, and half of his foot was always hanging at the gate of hell.
Master Huitong and everyone at Taiyuan Hospital were helpless. They had no other words to say except "do your best and obey the destiny."
But it was such a dilapidated body that made anyone shake their heads when they looked at it, yet it was dragged on for more than ten years.
There are rumors among the people that the medicinal materials given by the emperor saved He's life.
He was able to hold his breath and survive every critical illness, all because of the emperor's blessing.
Although it sounds like nonsense, the facts of He's life are before our eyes.
This made many nobles in the capital whisper secretly: Is it really His Majesty's dragon energy that protects you?!
For some senior ministers, when their longevity is approaching, their families will try their best to approach the emperor.
Emperor: ...of course I am happy.
Being regarded as a life-saving Bodhisattva, even as noble as an emperor, he felt very happy.
Moreover, because the medicinal materials he rewarded were contaminated with dragon energy and could cure diseases and prolong life, he seemed to have become more prestigious as an emperor.
They are all deified!
Anyway, no matter what others do, as long as He is still alive and well, the emperor will always be able to hold a high position.
Therefore, the emperor was very sorry for He Tian's death.
Several years after He Tian's death, the emperor still remembered that there was such a concubine who relied on his dragon energy to survive.
In the emperor's mind, He was probably the only Duke of Wei.
Kang Mo must also be aware of He Tian's special significance to the emperor, so after He Tian passed away, he suppressed his long-cherished wish and He Yi's repeated pleas and pretended to be filial piety to He Tian for two years.
After making enough gestures, Kang Mo found a way to marry He Yi.
Not long after He Yi entered the house, Kang Mo wrote a letter to ask her for a royal decree.
However, the emperor did not approve it.
"...This, this is nothing. He Tian's imperial edict was delayed for three or four years, and it wasn't until I achieved military exploits that Your Majesty approved it!"
Kang Mo didn't know whether he wanted to comfort He Tian or to convince himself with his words.
However, no matter whether He Yi was successfully comforted or not, Comer was reminded: "By the way, the Snow Lotus Virgin is making trouble in the southwest again, and sooner or later there will be a war in the southwest."
At that time, he took the initiative to ask for a fight.
After he achieves military exploits, he, he can ask the emperor to give He Yi some dignity!
He Yi:……
She was unhappy, but she had no other choice, let alone showed it.
More than ten years have passed, and she is no longer the silly woman who had only love in her heart.
She had an affair without a matchmaker and gave birth to a child out of wedlock. She was obviously the daughter of an uncle's house, but she had to hide in the mountains and forests and work as a female Taoist priest.
It was not easy until He Tian died, but Kang Mo did not take her back to the capital immediately.
Kang Mo actually wanted to keep his filial piety to that woman!
What a joke, what a big joke.
These days, it is women who observe filial piety for their deceased husbands, and there is no reason for husbands to observe filial piety for their wives.
Does Comer still want to earn a chastity memorial for himself?
Having already passed her twenty-seventh birthday, He Yi is no longer naive, and it’s not that she doesn’t understand Kang Mo’s concerns.
...So, Comer doesn't love her as much as he says.
In fact, He Yi has discovered this a long time ago. No amount of sincerity or love can compare to power and wealth.
If Comer really loved her, he would not have wasted more than ten years of her life, nor would he have made her the laughing stock of everyone in the capital.
He Yi is full of expectations for Kang Mo, and is also full of admiration and love for him.
However, she suffered disappointment again and again, and she fell into a quagmire that she could not get out of.
In the end, He Yi completely gave up on Kang Mo.
Regarding many of his explanations, He Yi didn't show any emotion on her face, but she didn't believe a word of them in her heart.
What do you believe?
She believed in Comer too much back then, which is why she ended up where she is now.
After passing the period of filial piety, I have to pass the test of the dowager and the crown prince.
He Yi's heart aches every time she thinks of the disgusting, critical, and disdainful looks from Mrs. Tai, the Prince, and others.
It seems that in their eyes, she, the dignified eldest daughter of the Yongchang residence, is probably not as good as a remarried country woman!
But no matter what, no matter how embarrassing the experience was, she got through it.
She was finally able to return to the capital in an upright manner and re-enter the powerful circle in the capital.
But, a new round of pain came again.
There is no airtight wall in the world. No matter how tightly the matter between her and Comer is kept under wraps, even a little bit of it will always come out for more than ten years.
In fact, others don't need to look for any evidence. They just look at the "adopted son" Kang Mo received in his name a few years ago. Gee, the child's facial features are very similar to He Yi's, and his face and ears are unique to the Kang family!
It’s true that everyone in the world is blind and stupid.
Kang Mo said that the second young master in the house was an adopted son, an adopted orphan from Paoze. Did everyone really believe it?
Especially after the death of Wei Guogong's wife He, although Kang Mo was a widower with an eldest son, he was still in his early thirties, had a title, real power and a holy favor.
You can definitely marry a well-matched unmarried girl.
Even the queen in the palace joked that she would be a matchmaker for Duke Wei.
As a result, Kang Mo ignored so many well-off young ladies in Beijing and married a Taoist priestess who had just returned to secular life, an old woman in her twenties.
He Yi's youth has passed away long ago. No matter her birth or age, she is not worthy of being a first-class Duke.
But Kang Mo still resisted all opinions and would rather risk offending the nobles in the palace to marry He Yi, an "old lady", back home.
In the past, some people thought that Comer was very emotional and would risk everything for true love.
Afterwards, everyone looked at He Yi and then at the so-called adopted son. Is there anything they don't understand?
There's no such thing as being sentimental, it's obviously to the point where it's impossible not to marry He Yi!
Of course, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that Comer likes He Yi.
However, everyone always feels that there is more than just "true love" between Kang Mo and He Yi.
In fact, let alone outsiders, even He Yi didn't believe how much Kang Mo loved her.
Comer insisted on marrying her, not so much for love, but to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
Over the years, Comer has been holding his breath.
As a man who inherited a title at a young age and had great military exploits, Comer has long been accustomed to controlling everything.
In his heart, he probably would not surrender to anyone except the emperor.
Do whatever you want, be willful and willful... Although Comer doesn't show it, he is extremely conceited and arrogant on the inside.
As a result, all the smoothness came crashing down on He Tian.
Kang Mo fell in love with He Yi and wanted He Tian to die soon, but she refused to die.
Kang Mo wanted to kill him secretly, but He Tian unexpectedly gained the emperor's attention, and he didn't dare to take action at all.
Kang Mo once made such a high-spirited promise to He Yi, but then he felt so aggrieved.
He Yi endured it, so why not Kang Mo?
In the end, Kang Mo wanted to marry He Yi not just for the past love and years of friendship, but also for the bad breath in his chest.
It seems that as long as he marries He Yi home and lets his illegitimate son recognize his ancestor, the "humiliation" he suffered from He Tian can be wiped out!
Comer himself didn't seem to be aware of his twisted mentality. He mistakenly thought that he loved He Yi deeply and was willing to sacrifice everything for her.
He Yi, who was sensitive and thoughtful due to reality, realized it.
However, she did not expose it, but took advantage of it to make herself and her children live a better life.
Therefore, when He Yi heard Kang Mo vowing that once there was a war in the southwest, he would take the initiative to fight, strive for meritorious service, and then ask for a royal title for her, He Yi didn't believe it in her heart, but her face showed a moved expression.
"...Master, I know that you are the best to me in this world!"
He Yi knew that Kang Mo liked her sweet and innocent look the most.
It's just that although she saw through Comer, she didn't see through herself - a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old is indeed a sweetheart, but for a twenty-six or seven-year-old woman who can be a grandmother, what else can she do?
Such coquettish behavior is really inappropriate.
It's not an eyesore, but it doesn't have much aesthetic appeal, and it won't tug at Comer's heartstrings.
Sure enough, when He Yi snuggled into Kang Mo's arms, allowing Kang Mo to see up close her skin that had long since lost its collagen and was no longer firm, Kang Mo's eyes flashed with disgust.
"Okay, you can go to bed early. I, I'm going to the study!"
Kang Mo pushed He Yi away stiffly, said something casually, and left in a hurry.
Looking at Kang Mo's back, the sweet smile on He Yi's face disappeared instantly.
…
Whether it's Kang Mo or He Yi, they seem to want to prove to everyone that they are truly in love.
They have spent more than ten years with He Tian, and they are not joking.
Nowadays, lovers finally get married. Even if they suffer the glares and ridicule of countless people, they will still show their deep love and never leave each other when they are outside.
However, the rift between the two became deeper and deeper.
Even Comer, who wanted to make great achievements as soon as possible and regain power, felt it.
You may be able to pretend whether you like a woman or not for a short period of time, but over time, it becomes really difficult to deceive yourself.
However, Kang Mo has not completely wiped out his conscience, or in other words, he still has a trace of friendship for He Yi.
When he was attracted to other girls who were younger, more beautiful, and more innocent, Kang Mo thought: Don't worry, wait until I give Xiao He a royal title and give her the honor of being the Duke's wife.
I'll take Xueer in again.
Comer secretly hid his new love in the golden room outside.
He felt that the arrangement was very good and he did not feel sorry for He Yi.
He Yi, who was already suspicious, soon discovered Comer's "secret".
At that moment, He Yi originally thought that she would be angry and explode, but in the end, she felt like "that's true."
It was as if a big stone hanging in my heart finally fell.
Although it hurt her, it also made her realize the reality.
He Yi was not hysterical, nor did he expose the matter, but pretended not to know anything.
She only accelerated the pace of urging Comer to grant her a royal title, and secretly helped pave the way for her son.
"...Brother Yuan is working as an errand in the Dongda Camp. Our Brother Rui is also thirteen years old this year. He is not very good at studying. We might as well let him go to the military camp!"
The Rui Geer that He Yi mentioned was the child she gave birth to for Comer.
When she was pregnant, He Yi was scolded by Uncle Yongchang and worried about her future. During this period, she even drank an abortion pill because of hesitation and regret.
During childbirth, she encountered dystocia and finally gave birth to a son, but her body was also damaged.
During these years in the Taoist temple, He Yi was afraid of giving birth to another child. Instead of taking good care of her body, He Yi had to take some contraceptive herbs.
Now, He Yi has become a legitimate wife of the Duke of the country and can give birth to a legitimate child. As a result, she cannot have another child.
The son who was brought back to the government by Kang Mo as his adopted son was He Yi's only flesh and blood.
Her life was ruined, so He Yi wanted her son to have a good future.
What a shame that He Tian refused to die and waited until Brother Yuan got married and had children, and established a firm foothold in the army. Even if he had a stepmother, he would not be afraid of being punished.
What's even more hateful is that the Yue family that He Tian chose for Brother Yuan was very capable. Even Kang Mo didn't dare to take away Brother Yuan's title for no reason.
As long as Brother Yuan doesn't make too many mistakes, he can successfully inherit the title of Duke of Wei.
Why?!
They are both Kang Mo's sons. He Tian's son can be the Duke of the country, but her son doesn't even have a meritorious title?!
He Yi refused to accept it, and she wanted to do her best to help her son while Kang Mo was still willing to worry about his face.
However, He Yi never expected that she would endure the humiliation and bear the burden for her son, but his son would not appreciate it at all.
"Dongdaying? I won't go! Mom, don't you think I'm embarrassed enough?"
"What kind of place is Dong Daying? It's full of noble sons and junior generals. These people have high eyes and are proud and self-sufficient. I, the adopted son of the Duke's mansion, am only better than a slave. What qualifications do I have to go there?"
Dong Daying?”
Thirteen-year-old Rui Geer was at his most rebellious.
In the past, he didn't know his own life experience, and he didn't know that he was an illegitimate child who was not allowed to live in the world.
After being brought back to the capital by his father, he met his father's real wife, Mrs. He, saw that frail but very beautiful woman with his own eyes, and heard the whispers of the people around him, only then did Rui Geer realize how disgraceful his existence was.
And what a shameless and scandalous thing his mother had done!
Rui Geer was so ashamed that he began to become sensitive and inferior. He felt that he was simply the original sin.
Later, he lived in the Duke's Mansion for a period of time, enjoyed the wealth of a wealthy family, and saw the dignity and glory of his half-brother, the Crown Prince. His inferiority complex began to have negative emotions such as envy, jealousy, and so on.
Now Rui Ge'er has a twisted mentality, irritable mood, and is full of resentment towards his once beloved mother.
Hearing that He Yi was going to arrange a future for him, one of his sensitive nerves was touched, and he exploded: "Who am I? Ah? An adopted son! What are the identities of the adopted sons of powerful families in the capital? Don't you still?"
Know?"
He Yi was shocked by her son's mania and blurted out, "Nonsense, you are not an adopted son, you are the biological flesh and blood of me and your father!"
"Do you dare to say it? Do you and my father dare to say this in front of everyone in the capital?"
"Don't you dare! Because an illegitimate child is worse than an adopted child. An adopted child can at least cover his shame! And an illegitimate child, ah, my special mother is basically an adulterous child, an adulterous child who had an affair without a matchmaker!"
"What kind of future? Haha, with my dirty status, who is willing to be my comrade? Who is willing to marry me?"
"Mom, why did you give birth to me in the first place? Let me bear such a sin as soon as I was born? Why? Was I your enemy in my previous life, and you want to harm me like this?"
He Yi didn't even know how she left her son's courtyard. She only knew that her son hated her and her only son hated her.
Subsequently, the emperor kept suppressing the request for imperial conferment, and war broke out in the southwest. The emperor activated a group of young generals such as Yuan Geer, but left Kang Mo aside.
Comer was frustrated in his career and didn't want to go home and face He Yi, a resentful woman, so he simply stayed outside in the golden room.
Her son is divorced, her husband has a new love, her mother-in-law, her brothers and sisters-in-law all look down on her... Her persistence in the past ten years seems to be a joke.
He Yi secretly ordered someone to get the crane crown red, put on the dress she wore when they were in love, and died together with Kang Mo.
