A strange atmosphere suddenly filled the whole room. Situ Liang glanced at Yun Jingchu, and then asked in surprise for a long time: "What story is this?"
"This is a story about my mother." Yun Jingchu thought about it for a moment, and finally decided to say: "That is Mrs. Situ who just passed away. Ah Liang, in fact, I am your sister Situ Yan, and the current queen is
It’s your other sister Situ Xuan.”
As soon as he said this, Situ Liang seemed to have difficulty digesting Yun Jingchu's words. He could only raise his eyes and look at Yun Jingchu in disbelief. However, he felt an inexplicable trust in the sister in front of him. No wonder his father warned him before leaving.
He asked him to treat Yun Jingchu like a sister. It turned out that his father already knew the truth.
"A Liang, I will explain this matter to you later." Yun Jingchu saw his doubts, but now was not the time to explain, so she handed the letter to Situ Liang and said: "
Please keep this letter well, I will tell you the contents now, but be sure not to reveal it."
Situ Liang felt that the situation was serious, changed from his previous coldness, and listened quietly.
"The letter said that the late emperor was also a reckless and impulsive person when he was still undecided." Yun Jingchu's eyes were as dark as a thousand-year-old deep pool, his face was covered with frost, and a chill suddenly rose, and he continued: "He was there at that time.
When Qitian Kingdom returned from being a hostage, he met a woman on the road.
After the two met, they fell in love at first sight. Originally, the late emperor planned to make that woman his queen immediately after conquering the country. However, he never expected that on the day when he put on the dragon robe, he would suddenly confer another woman as the imperial concubine. This made
She was heartbroken and ended up marrying someone else."
"Could that woman be... aunt?" Situ Liang suddenly guessed and couldn't help blurting out.
"That's right, it was my mother. She gave up her position as queen and married another man. She originally thought that man would be devoted to her, but she never thought that that man would also start having three wives and four concubines." Yun Jingchu said.
Here, I can't help but feel a touch of sadness in my heart. Nothing in this world is perfect.
It can be guaranteed, not to mention the hearts of the people. She suppressed the emotions in her heart and continued: "But the late emperor was always thinking about my mother, so the late emperor took another woman as his concubine. They had very similar faces.
That woman happens to be my mother's cousin, who is the current Queen Mother."
"What!?" Situ Liang had never heard that the current Queen Mother was actually my aunt's cousin, and no one seemed to have mentioned this matter.
"The current Queen Mother has always seemed skillful and uncontested, but after her son ascended to the throne, her long-held resentment finally broke out. She had always hated my mother, so she started to treat my mother.
In revenge, my father was forced to take poison that made my mother unable to survive or die..."
So Mrs. Situ became ill for no reason. In fact, it was not an illness, but poisoning. Situ Aotian had always naively thought that the medicine would not be fatal, but he never thought that he had killed his wife with his own hands. This is no wonder Mrs. Situ
On the day of his death, he would be so excited and keep saying that he killed her.
Thinking about it now, it seems that the Queen Mother has long known about Situ Xuan pretending to be Situ Yan, but she still turned a blind eye. She must have only thought about the daughter of the woman she hated, and of course her former self.
My mother and Wang Yanyu are sisters, how could this queen mother tolerate her? Except for the daughters of these two people, I believe that no matter whose daughter she is, she will accept to be her son's queen, even if it is the vicious-hearted Situ Xuan...
…
This chain of cause and effect was like a nightmare. Every link was bloody and horrific. When Yun Jing first thought of this, she didn't say a word. She secretly swore in her heart that she would never let this old woman go.
Let her pay a higher price than her mother and Mrs. Situ...
The same night, in the imperial study room in the palace.
Sandalwood and agarwood slowly floated from the copper unicorn stove in the corner of the hall, and strands of coiled pillars curled around and dispersed. At this moment, in a moment of solemnity, the dragon carpet stretched all the way to the end, supporting the feet of the seat.
Sitting high, Yu Wenrui is dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with dark gold embroidery on the cuffs, and the lines are embossed, one circle after another. His black hair is tied up with a purple gold crown with two dragons playing with pearls. He is extremely handsome, with a face as gentle as jade.
The only pair
The black eyes were cold to the core, the thin lips were pursed tightly, and the whole person was outstanding and majestic. However, at this moment, he seemed a little tired. Since this morning, he had been investigating the fake photos and previous affairs.
Not far away, Eunuch Xu respectfully reported, his face also pale. He had just received the news and reported this matter, but he could already imagine the emperor's reaction next.
Yu Wenrui raised his hand and picked up a writing brush from the desk. The tip of the pen was dipped in ink, but it hung in the air without writing. He looked at the folded book on the desk with his dark eyes and said: "You said that the queen sent someone to ask Jing to
Entering the palace tomorrow morning?"
The voice was neither urgent nor slow, but it was like snow falling in February. Every word was cold, and he raised his eyes with uncontrollable anger.
Suddenly, he threw the pen in his hand towards the table and ordered in a cold voice: "Follow me to Cining Palace immediately!"
"Your Majesty, at this time you cannot -"
Yu Wenrui glared at Eunuch Xu. He cared about the throne, but he also cared about the woman he loved. Just when he was about to bypass the Long Case, the eunuch's trembling voice sounded. Feeling the emperor's anger, Shan still hesitated.
I reported the matter: "Concubine Lian is here and is asking to see her outside the door."
"Concubine Lian?" Yu Wenrui frowned, his tone was not very good, and he was extremely cold, "What is she here for?"
Yu Wenrui waved his hand and said coldly: "Just say that I am still dealing with political affairs, so don't disturb me."
Didn't the emperor just say that he was going to Cining Palace? How could he be doing business? The young eunuch sighed helplessly, then mustered up the courage to continue: "Concubine Lian said that if the emperor doesn't see her, she will keep waiting."
Yu Wenrui's face darkened, thinking about the friendship between the two countries, and finally waved his hand and said, "Let her in."
After saying this, Yu Wenrui walked back to his higher position and looked at the memorial in his hand without raising his head. The chill around him was overwhelming, even colder than the thousand-year cold pool that penetrated his heart.
Soon, after the little eunuch went out to report, Helena had walked in with graceful steps. She was wearing a pink fur cloak, a pink dress of the same color underneath, and a white belt around her waist.
, wearing a bun with a high bun, wearing a shining pearl and agate hairpin, noble but not showing the slightest bit of tackiness, blessed her body respectfully, and said: "I send my regards to the Emperor."
Yu Wenrui still didn't raise his head, his hands were like white jade, his fingers were slender, he unfolded the memorial, his eyes were like cold stars, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a light voice: "Excuse me, I wonder what's wrong with Concubine Lian? You want to see me so late, I still want to see you.
The memorial must be reviewed."
Helena raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the handsome man, her face flushed slightly and she remained silent.
Seeing no reply for a long time, Yu Wenrui raised his head and looked at Helena, only to see her looking at him, with deep affection in her beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, there was silence in the hall, and both of them fell into silence, saying nothing.
Now in the entire harem, the empress has been sent away, and although concubine Hui is pregnant with Long Rui, she is not necessarily favored, so she feels that this is a good opportunity in her heart. The current empress must have fallen out of favor, and she must seize it.
This opportunity, and on that day, I really fell in love with Yu Wenrui at first sight, so I was willing to become my concubine.
"Your Majesty..." She finally spoke and was the first to break the silence. She had been thinking for a long time and wanted to express her thoughts today.
"If you have anything to say, Concubine Lian, you might as well say it directly." This Helena really gave him a headache now. In fact, he originally just wanted her to marry Yu Wenxuan, but he never thought that she would want to be his concubine for the sake of the marriage between the two countries, so
He agreed, but in fact he didn't need any concubine at all. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
"Your Majesty, do you know why I wanted to become the Emperor's concubine in the first place?" Helena slowly approached Yu Wenrui and said softly.
"Um?"
"That's because Lian'er has liked the Emperor since the first time she saw him. The Emperor..." As she said this, she walked over to Yu Wenrui and grabbed his arm.
Yu Wenrui's body was shaken, but he immediately returned to normal, but his heart was confused, not because of her words, but because he wanted to go to Cining Palace quickly and didn't want to waste any more time.
Helena's face was slightly red, her slender hands still grasped Yu Wenrui's arm, and she continued: "And as she entered the palace, Lian'er's love for the emperor became stronger and stronger."
Yu Wenrui didn't want to listen to what she said here, so he decisively and cruelly pulled away the hand that was holding his sleeve, "It's very late, Concubine Lian, you should go back and rest early."
"Why does the emperor reject Lian'er every time?" Helena was trembling a little. She had always had an innate sense of superiority and really didn't understand why this happened.
Yu Wenrui remained motionless like a snow-capped mountain that has stood erect for thousands of years. He turned towards Eunuch Xu and said calmly: "Eunuch Xu, send Concubine Lian back."
Such a sentence was his determination again. Helena felt that her heart was stabbed hard, and she reluctantly followed Eunuch Xu out. However, as a princess, she would never lose her.
The courage she should have, even if she is rejected again, her back is straight, that is the pride of her princess, but no one knows that she has chosen a wrong path for herself, but since it is her own choice, even if
No matter how wrong she is, she will continue walking on her knees.
After Helena left, Yu Wenrui couldn't restrain himself for a moment and immediately walked towards the Cining Palace.
When he reached the door of Cining Palace, Yu Wenrui suddenly stopped. No one knew that when he climbed to the highest point, he tasted pain that others could not taste.
His queen mother, his biological mother, became a stranger after he ascended to the throne of God.
Suppressing these thoughts, Yu Wenrui walked directly into the hall without letting anyone inform him.
At this time, the Queen Mother did not go to bed, but sat on a high place holding a heater. Seeing Yu Wenrui's arrival, she was not surprised, but said lightly: "Rui'er, are you okay?"
"Mother, why do you want Jingchu to enter the palace?" Yu Wenrui said it directly without mincing words.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and asked in a cold voice: "Isn't this what you have always wanted?"
"Mother, you know what the situation is now. Letting Jingchu enter the palace will only cause more troubles." Yu Wenrui's calm handsome face flashed with gloom, and he continued: "Also, why did Lord Situ enter the palace?
Can you just ask someone to bring her to you?"
"How can the Ai family not ask clearly about the affairs of the previous dynasty?"
"Or does the Queen Mother have other thoughts? I have always known that the recently deceased Mrs. Situ was actually the Queen Mother's cousin, but why did the Queen Mother never interact with her?"
The Queen Mother was stunned, her well-maintained face turned pale slightly, "Why did Rui'er say that?" She had never mentioned this matter, but why did Yu Wenrui know about it.
Yuwen Rui's heart sank slightly and he said slowly: "My father told me this matter personally. Although I was still young at the time, I remember it very clearly."
"It was he who told you?" The Queen Mother's face became more and more gloomy, and she suddenly realized that she should have thought that besides him, who else would tell Rui'er.
Seeing that the Queen Mother looked wrong, Yuwen Ruijun felt a trace of regret on his face. After all, this matter was the Queen Mother's pain, so he stopped talking.
"Rui'er, the Queen Mother will definitely tell you this matter, but not now." The Queen Mother handed the heater in her hand to the maid beside her, stood up, and continued: "Okay, the Queen Mother is also tired, it's time to rest, you go back first
Bar."
After saying this, the Queen Mother asked the two maids behind her to hold up the too-long skirt, turned around and walked towards the palace.
Looking at the disappearing figure of the Queen Mother, Yu Wenrui said nothing, and his handsome face gradually became more gloomy. After a while, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes were sharp and sharp, and he slightly narrowed his eyes in a beautiful arc, and then quickly turned around his tall body.
, strode away.
At this time, the Queen Mother returned to the wing, sat in front of the bronze mirror, and allowed Moya to take off her headdress.
Although the person looking in the mirror is over forty years old, he is still very beautiful.
But she had never liked this face very much. When did she start to feel bored with it, probably after the night when the late emperor favored her.
At that time, she thought that marrying the most noble man in the world was the greatest happiness in the world. But when she heard her cousin's name from his mouth, she realized that she was just a substitute, and her jealous anger never went out.
Pass……
In the past, she had always been proud to look like her cousin, because in their hometown, everyone said that her sister was the most beautiful woman in the world. But for some reason, from that moment on, she hated this face and wanted to put it away.
tear.
But she couldn't do this, so she could only live in the harem with a smile, showing gentleness and virtuousness everywhere, otherwise she would lose the favor of the late emperor. However, the man who had never loved her still discovered her jealousy, so he began to
I ignored her, but fortunately at that time, she was already pregnant with Long Rui, and later gave birth to Yu Wenrui...
