Xie Jun had one wife and three concubines, including four concubines and concubines.
Emperor Jianwen had dozens of concubines. In addition to the six princesses who died young, there were seven princes born from concubines. Now that he has a new favorite, the beauty Lianxiang, he might give birth to another prince or princess when...
In terms of disappointment, the two of them are equally matched.
Aunt Ding turned from a wife into a concubine, and now she has completely fallen out of favor.
Empress Yu has always been the head wife and the queen of the middle palace. Emperor Jianwen seemed to have a deep love for Empress Yu. There were young and favored concubines around him one after another. It can be seen that this "deep love" is really limited.
Sheng Hong looked sighing: "Both of us are very unlucky, how could we end up with such a biological father!"
Xie Mingxi said lightly: "No, you are much stronger than me. At least, you still have your own mother who loves you very much!"
As for her biological mother, she only had her only son, Xie Yuanting, in her heart. She only had plans for her daughter, and was so selfish that it was heartbreaking.
There was deep pity in Sheng Hong's eyes.
"You don't have to look at me like this." Xie Mingxi glanced at Sheng Hong and said in a calm voice: "When I was young in my previous life, I was so sad about this that I couldn't bear to die. However, this was decades ago. Now, I
I don’t care about these anymore.”
How much hurt and pain must she have suffered to make her completely disappointed in her loved ones?
Sheng Hong felt a throbbing pain in his heart. After a moment of silence, he stepped forward and gently hugged Xie Mingxi.
Since the last time they were intimate, the two have kept their distance. This is the first time they have embraced like this.
The warm and clean breath belonging to a young man quietly entered his nostrils.
Xie Mingxi raised her bright eyes: "Sheng Hong, I'm not sad. You don't need to comfort me."
The voice was calm, the eyes were clear, and there was no sadness at all.
Sheng Hong's heart ached more and more, and he squeezed her tighter with his hands: "Mingxi, I really regret that I came too late and couldn't be by your side earlier."
"If I could meet you in my previous life, I would never let you suffer so much."
His pity almost overflowed from his chest, surrounding her tightly.
Such warm care almost gave her the illusion that she was the most fragile and precious thing in the world.
Is this what it feels like to be loved wholeheartedly by someone?
Xie Mingxi's heartstrings trembled slightly. She carefully avoided the injury with her right hand and gently touched his chest. The warmth on the skin was transmitted into her palm through the thin clothes. Soon, her hand became warm.
Her cold heart seemed to be quietly warmed.
…
"I have indeed suffered a lot." Xie Mingxi's eyes were a little erratic, and her voice lowered: "It seems that I am well-dressed and well-fed, but in fact I am trembling. I have worked hard to live safely."
"When I was most hesitant and in pain, no one was by my side and there was no help."
"My father only values fame and wealth, and my biological mother is weak and selfish, and only values my brother. Princess Yongning forced me to be Xie Yunxi's chess piece for the sake of Xie Yunxi's future."
"I was still young at that time, and I still looked up to my reborn mother and brother. Therefore, I was coerced by Princess Yongning and did many things I didn't want to do. Even so, Xie Yunxi still refused to let me go and wanted to kill me."
"I can't imagine that the only thing I can rely on to survive is beauty."
Speaking of this, Xie Mingxi showed cold self-mockery on her face: "Fortunately, I still have extraordinary beauty. When a person is forced to the end of his rope, the potential that bursts out is amazing and terrifying."
"You have always been curious about the entanglement between me and the fourth prince in my previous life. Now, I will tell you..."
"Mingxi, please stop talking." Sheng Hong's black eyes showed pain and self-reproach: "You don't need to say anything. I will never ask again in the future."
This is undoubtedly the dark past that is most difficult to let go of in Xie Mingxi's heart. Just like an old scar, it is fine when left untouched, but with a slight touch, the old wound will burst open again, revealing the hideous wound.
He didn't want to ask any more questions, let alone remind her of unbearable memories.
It was rare for Xie Mingxi to show such emotion, sparks ignited in his eyes: "No, I want to say it."
"Sheng Hong, this is actually not a new story. In my previous life, I started out as a lowly concubine. In order to survive, I worked hard and finally won the attention of the fourth prince and got the chance to sleep with him."
"The fourth prince is quite indifferent to women, and has never had any children. I have been secretly using medicine to regulate my body, and I also specially chose the day to accept my favor. I am quite lucky. I got pregnant only once."
"Giving birth to an heir is just the first step. The road to a harem is never so simple."
"I attached myself to the queen and took Xie Yunxi's life. Later, I saw through the fourth prince's mind and willingly became his sword, defeating the queen."
"After the queen died, the Li family fell into decline. I became a noble concubine in the palace and took charge of palace affairs."
"Do you think the story is over? No, this is just the beginning. I discovered the fourth prince's biggest secret, and this is my biggest crisis!"
…
There was too much information revealed in these words. The more Sheng Hong listened, the more frightened he became. He couldn't help but interrupt Xie Mingxi: "What is the secret?"
Xie Mingxi took a deep look at Sheng Hong and suddenly brought up a seemingly unrelated topic: "Lin Weiwei and Lu Chi have decided to get married. I received Lin Weiwei's letter, and I was not happy but worried. Don't you think it's strange?
?”
Sheng Hong is so keen and careful, how could he not notice it? He has been thinking about it secretly these days. At this time, Xie Mingxi suddenly mentioned it, and a shocking guess passed through his mind.
Sheng Hong's expression was subtle and complicated.
"It seems that you have guessed it right." Xie Mingxi's eyes became more sarcastic: "Yes, he doesn't like women because he already has someone he likes in his heart. That person is Lu Chi."
"He is the emperor, and no one will be allowed to know this secret."
"I am just a palace concubine. It would be easy for him to kill me. In order to survive, I have been trying my best to hide and pretend not to know. I try my best to please him and figure out his thoughts in everything. Every time he comes to my palace, I
With a hung heart, I never dare to truly fall asleep..."
What does it feel like to stay up all night and be in fear?
What kind of life is it like to put on a smile and try your best to please?
In order to survive, how much effort does it take to figure out someone's thoughts all day long?
Xie Mingxi lived such a life in her previous life!
Sheng Hong used force and hugged Xie Mingxi tightly. The wound stung slightly from the touch. This pain was insignificant compared with the pain in his heart: "Mingxi, please stop talking."
I really hate myself for not being by your side earlier to protect you from the wind and rain.
I really hate Sheng Hong in the previous life, why he was so weak and didn't dare to let you know his thoughts. When you were suffering and helpless, you didn't know that there was someone in the world who really liked you. (To be continued)
