A self-deprecating smile appeared on Xia Jie's face. His queen mother had a reputation of being a favorite, but from the beginning to the end, his father was always looking for the figure of another person on his mother's face, even if his father wanted to see him in his later years.
Who knows that he was made the crown prince, not because he inherited his mother's face and has the same face as Princess Fengwu!
"My mother was also a cousin of the Bi family, but she was not close to the Bi family. At that time, the Empress Yuan fell out of favor with the late emperor, and when she saw that my mother had given birth to me, she wanted to get rid of me and the queen, but she didn't dare.
She started to offend her father because the Empress Dowager was old and could no longer handle the affairs of the government. Her father was gradually taking back the imperial power. She was afraid, so she took the son of Princess Feng Wu back to the palace and told him
My father sent him out of the palace for the sake of my mother and me and would not take him back. He was angry. In addition, after the death of Princess Feng Wu, my father wanted to protect him and did not want him to be contaminated with the filth of the palace.
He was not taken back to the palace, so he believed these words. In addition, he was born with a strange disease and his mind was beyond human understanding, so he really broke into my mother's harem, intending to insult my mother and destroy her.
"My favor." Xia Jie's tone changed, his eyes were filled with ice, and Yifang felt a bone-chilling chill in his arms.
"At that time, I was ten years old, and the so-called eldest son of the emperor was already in his twenties. I saw him pressing on my mother's body with my own eyes. My mother struggled desperately, but it was in vain, and my father, the emperor,
, after knowing what happened, he just slapped his beloved son and said nothing else. Perhaps because of guilt in his heart, or because he was angry at the queen's design, the late emperor finally made up his mind.
, deposed the queen, and wanted to pass the throne to me, but the late emperor was already old, and I had no established power behind me. My eldest brother, the then Prince of the East Palace, had already matured, so the late emperor was working hard to arrange
One year later, I left the edict for the crown prince to succeed to the throne, and I will succeed to the throne after the crown prince dies."
"As for the son of Princess Fengwu, that beast, the late emperor knew that neither I nor his eldest son would let him go after he succeeded to the throne. Forced by desperation, the late emperor gave up on making him king.
With the idea of expelling him from the royal jade certificate, driving him out of the capital, and banishing him forever, the late emperor wanted to appease our hatred and let his beloved son go, but he had hidden worries. It would be better to stay outside the wall for that beast.
The emperor had exerted such great efforts to protect himself. Did he ever think about us sons? Even though my eldest brother and I were not on good terms, we still had the same idea of getting rid of this beast. After two dynasties,
, we followed the late emperor's last words and joined forces to eliminate the Bi family's influence and not allow their descendants to enter the court again. But we could never find the so-called eldest son of the emperor. It was not until he sent Li Cairen to the palace that I had any clues about him.
.”
Hearing this, Yi Fang's heart gradually calmed down. She was saddened by what Xia Jie had experienced. Her mother was used as a substitute, and she was also used as a target to cover up and insult her mother's enemies. She struggled in the palace for many years.
This kind of resentment has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow and cannot be resolved. Xia Jie's guilt and self-blame for his inability to protect the Queen Mother have all turned into hatred for the son of Princess Fengwu. This was when he went to the study
, at all costs, like a wounded beast, working hard and fiercely, to force Li Cairen to tell the true reason for the whereabouts of the eldest son of the emperor.
She gently touched Xia Jie's face, trying to rub away his frowning eyebrows. A hint of warmth spread from Yi Fang's fingertips to Xia Jie's eyebrows, and then warmed his heart. He lowered his head and kissed
She put on two moist lips and murmured softly.
"Yifang, I'm fine, I'm fine."
Xia Jie kept saying it was okay, but Yi Fang could clearly feel his hand tightening around her waist, as if he were a lonely and helpless child, full of hatred, but drifting in the wilderness.
I am helpless and don't know how to relieve the tightness in my chest.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, and Yi Fang's heart felt stinging and numb. A line of clear tears slowly slipped out of the corners of her eyes, rolling down her cheeks and onto the lips of the two people that were touching each other.
Xia Jie tasted the salty taste and his heart trembled. He hugged Yi Fang tighter and murmured in a daze: "Yifang, my Yi Fang, are you crying for me? Father, you
Before I passed away, I said that I didn’t understand the word love, so I couldn’t forgive you. But now that Erchen understands and has found a woman who is willing to cry for me, why does Erchen still hate you?”
A confused look slowly appeared on Xia Jie's face. Yifang knew that he was still trapped in the contradictory pain of hating and respecting the late emperor at this time, so he could only hug him tightly and let him go.
Xia Jie spoke softly and slowly, his lips moving all over her body.
"Father, I not only want to get rid of the Bi family, I also want to get rid of your favorite child and your favorite bloodline. Do you know that I have endured that bitch Li Ruyue for so long just because I want to find that person's whereabouts?
Why did you arrange so many escape routes for him in the first place? Even the secret passages in the palace, you were only willing to tell him one person and let him come and go like the wind. No matter what, I couldn't catch him!"
"Father, you have devoted your life to Princess Fengwu, why can't you have more mercy on my mother? I will get rid of him, I will definitely kill him. If you don't avenge my mother, I will!"
Looking at Xia Jie who sometimes kissed her and sometimes raised his head and murmured to the void, Yi Fang felt so distressed that he could only hold Xia Jie's hand tightly and hug her hard, just like Xia Jie used to care for her.
She patted her gently like that, and gradually, Xia Jie calmed down. After going through such emotional ups and downs, such as extreme anger, extreme worry, and extreme hatred, Xia Jie seemed to have finally found a place of peace of mind, lying on the waves.
On Fang's lap, he fell into a deep sleep.
The room was peaceful, and it seemed that the previous tears were still echoing in this dormitory. Yi Fang looked at Xia Jie, who was sleeping on his lap with an innocent face like a child, and gently brushed away a strand of hair on his face, his eyes were gentle, and he was breathing.
Smells bitter.
She never thought that a man as aloof, conceited and arrogant as Xia Jie would have such a heavy past, and it was a past that ordinary people could not bear. Her grandmother set up her father, and his father ignored her mother's pain and regarded him as a child for the sake of another flesh and blood.
Wuwu, such hatred, and such tolerance, how many people can endure it for many years? But Xia Jie not only endured it, but also made it to the present. His mental tenacity is beyond imagination.
But it was precisely because of this tenacity that she felt even more heartbroken for him.
She knew that Xia Jie did not tell him the whole truth, and there were still too many doubts in the process, such as what the force was, why Emperor Jing'an and Xia Jie could not deal with it, and the birth of Princess Fengwu.
Baby girl, why didn't Xia Jie keep silent about it? All of this was deliberately concealed by Xia Jie and was mentioned in one sentence, but she really didn't want to ask any more questions. If he didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask, as long as he could forget it.
What does it matter whether she knows the full truth about these painful memories or not.
The third update, haha, the rest of the updates will be later.
