Xiao Chengyi frowned, but did not refuse. He took out a pill from his arms and swallowed it, then took off the disguise on his face, revealing his original appearance.
Yuan Hao's somewhat cloudy eyes stared at him, as if he saw another person through him. His vision gradually became blurry, and his voice trembled slightly as he murmured: "It looks like, it really looks like."
Xiao Chengyi asked: "Does it look like my mother?"
Yuan Hao nodded: "Yes, I actually met her first, but she still chose your father in the end, and I am not willing to accept it."
I still remember that in the spring of that year, he was just an idle prince who liked to travel around the mountains and rivers. When he was returning to Beijing, he happened to meet Ye Jinning, the prince of Zhenguo, to pick up his long-lost sister back to Beijing.
That day, the sun was shining brightly, the spring breeze was warm, and the breeze rolled up the car curtain to reveal the profile of the woman in the car. It was that startling glimpse that he would never forget.
He escorted him all the way until he arrived in Beijing.
When he was leaving, he heard a woman's soft voice coming from the car and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
At that moment, he felt as if his heart had been scratched by something, and from then on, the woman's profile and voice could no longer be forgotten in his mind.
After that, they had more opportunities to meet, but each time she was always dignified, polite, and polite, until one time he saw her with his eldest brother, Prince Chen.
Prince Chen didn't know what he said, which made her smile like a flower, and her eyebrows were full of charm that he had never seen before. Then Prince Chen reached out and stroked the bun on her bun. This small gesture made her blush.
cheek.
Seeing this scene, he felt as if he was possessed by a demon, and all the hatred that had been hidden in his heart came out.
Xiao Chengyi had already guessed that Yuan Hao had evil intentions towards her mother. He narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "So you framed my father and broke them up? Killed my mother?"
Yuan Hao closed his eyes and said, "I don't want this either. I've known since I was a child that I'm not as good as my elder brother in every way.
He is the most satisfactory prince in the heart of my father, the hope of the future Beichen in the court, and the most talented prince in the hearts of the people, but I am nothing.
My efforts are not seen by my father, nor by the courtiers, and the people treat me like a waste. I originally thought that I could live a happy life like this.
But I met your mother, who made me obsessed and showed the ugliest side of my heart. I want to take her back. Only with this supreme right can I get everything I want.
.
I succeeded, but your mother is also dead. Believe it or not, I never thought of harming her. I took people to Sanqing Temple to bring her back.
But she set a fire so decisively and burned her there."
In the end, he gained this country but lost her. This became the only regret in his life, and from now on, no one could come close to his heart.
"Ah."
Xiao Chengyi sneered: "Actually, you are not as affectionate towards my mother as you thought, and you don't really love her. It's just your pride as a man and the injustice you have experienced that make you unwilling.
Even without my mother, you would still do this because the evil thoughts in your bones make you full of ambition for power, so don’t blame the root of your evil on my mother!"
After hearing what he said, Yuan Hao smiled self-deprecatingly: "You are right, everything is retribution. You are outstanding, even better than your father."
As he spoke, he coughed heavily, then took out a yellowed scroll with great effort from the secret compartment under the bed beside him and handed it to Xiao Chengyi: "This is your father's relic, and it depicts your mother when she was pregnant with you.
The way it looks.”
Xiao Chengyi's eyebrows moved, he stared at the scroll he handed over and slowly stretched out his hand.
