I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 330: If Father Zhong and Huo Yu conspire against each other, whose side will the Queen be on? (Please subscribe)

Before coming to this world, Liu He had very little experience in dating. This situation inevitably made him a little nervous. He could only drink water frequently to avoid stage fright.

"One night, a heavy rain suddenly fell in Shu. The Confucian scholar was moved by the scene and thought of his wife at home, so he wrote a poem under the west window."

"Do you want to hear this poem?" Liu He asked with a smile.

Huo Chengjun nodded quickly, his eyes full of expectation.

"Your question is that there is no date for returning, and the night rain in Bashan floods the autumn pond. Why cut the candles in the west window together, but talk about the rainy night in Bashan."

Liu He finished it in one breath and recited this popular love poem.

If you ask me when I can go back, I can't tell you. The rain in Bashan and Shu has caused the water in the pond to rise again.

When can I cut candles with you under the west window and tell you how much I miss you on this rainy night?

There is no need for Liu He to elaborate on the following explanations. Huo Chengjun, who has been fond of reading the Book of Songs since childhood, can also feel it.

Gradually, there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

"Does this poem have a title?" Huo Chengjun asked.

"Shu is in the south and Henan is in the north. It was written on a rainy night, so the title is "Night Rain Sends to the North."

Huo Chengjun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a kerchief and sighed softly and said: "When the couple reunites, the Confucian scholar's wife will definitely be very happy when she reads this poem."

There was no smile on Liu He's face. He looked at Huo Chengjun and said sadly: "But this Confucian scholar doesn't know that when he wrote this poem, his wife had just died of illness."

Huo Chengjun was stunned at first, then his eyes drooped, and he fell into sadness. He did not shed tears or speak any more.

This made Liu He a little panicked. He didn't expect Huo Chengjun to be more sentimental than he thought.

He didn't dare to neglect. This woman really started crying, and he didn't know how to comfort her.

He quickly picked up the scissors on the table and put them into Huo Chengjun's hand. Then he gently held her hand, placed the scissors on the lamp grass, and gently cut off a section of the lamp grass.

The split lamp grass fell on the case with the light, and burned out in an instant.

Huo Chengjun was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what the emperor meant. The melancholy in his heart disappeared immediately along with the lamp grass.

It turned into a hint of shyness.

"Chengjun, I will cut candles with you every night from now on."

Huo Chengjun wanted to break free from Liu He's hand, but Liu He's grip became tighter and tighter. How could Huo Chengjun be able to break free?
The door of the flower hall was open, and the cold wind kept blowing in, making the originally swaying lights even weaker.

But for some reason, Liu He and Huo Chengjun both felt a little hot...

Finally, Huo Chengjun stopped struggling and allowed Liu He to hold her hand tightly.

……

After a long time, Liu He said: "Chengjun, you will enter the palace in a few days. I have something to ask you."

"His Majesty……"

"In the future, when there is no one around, you don't need to call me Your Majesty, just call me Husband."

"promise."

"I would like to ask, after going to Weiyang Palace, are you more my wife or Father Zhong's daughter?"

Liu He spoke very seriously, without the slightest hint of flamboyance or joking.

Because this question is very important.

Obedience to the father at home, to the husband when married, and to the son after the death of the husband - this is the restraint and oppression of women at this time by ethical education.

However, ethical education is a restraint imposed by the upper class on the lower class - the emperor, princes, and aristocratic families do not abide by it so strictly.

Women who marry into Weiyang Palace have long been treated as tools - tools without emotions, let alone the so-called ethical education.It is not unprecedented for people in the harem to unite with relatives to fight against the emperor.

Therefore, what Liu He wants is a living person, not a tool.

Huo Chengjun seemed to be stunned by this question and didn't know how to answer it. After a long time, he said: "Since you are married, then I am your wife."

"Then if one day, your father and brother are going to harm me, which side will you stand on?" Liu He asked more bluntly, and naturally it was harder to answer.

There is still room for change on the former question, but there cannot be any evasion of this question.

Pain, hesitation, anxiety and panic appeared on Huo Chengjun's face in turn.

Although she was innocent, she had also seen the cruel battles between the families of emperors, generals and prime ministers.

The Queen Mother of Shangguan is Huo Chengjun's niece, which is a living lesson for others.

Emperor Xiaozhao supported the general to eradicate the Shangguan family. Isn't it like today's emperor who borrowed other courtiers to eradicate the Huo family?
Huo Chengjun's soft and gentle hands became much colder and harder, and there was no light in his eyes.

She did rarely feel the so-called human kindness in the General's Mansion, but the people there were always her relatives. How could she regard them as her enemies without hesitation?
The warm fire that had just been ignited in Huo Chengjun's heart suddenly went out.

The emperor couldn't save her after all.

So, Huo Chengjun wanted to break free from the emperor's hand, but found that the emperor's grip was tighter.

"Chengjun, I hope you will be my wife, but I also hope you will be Huo Chengjun."

Huo Chengjun's gloomy heart brightened, and some light returned to his eyes.

"If that day really comes, you have to go see it yourself..."

“See who is right and who is wrong, and then decide what to do.”

"I understand that you are a kind person, but a kind person must have the ability to see into the world in order not to be deceived."

"You are Huo Chengjun, my wife, Liu He, the queen of the Han Dynasty, and naturally the daughter of the Huo family."

"When that day comes, you will definitely know what you have to do to be worthy of these four identities."

Huo Chengjun listened to the emperor's words and speculated carefully. He wanted to understand some of them, but there were still some that he couldn't understand.

But there was one thing she was very clear about.

The emperor, no, her husband, is willing to trust her now.

This kind of trust was something she had never felt before.

Huo Chengjun looked into the emperor's eyes and read something in them: loneliness, kindness, strength, forbearance, and indomitable...

Sometimes, the relationship between people is so strange.

Maybe the time they spend alone together is very short, but they are willing to entrust themselves to each other and depend on each other for life and death.

Perhaps, this is the so-called providence.

"From today on, you are my wife, and I will give you a completely different life than you have now. Are you willing?"

Huo Chengjun did not hesitate anymore and nodded firmly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at Weiyang Palace!"

Liu He stood up. He wanted to kiss Huo Chengjun on the forehead.

But thinking that this move was too embarrassing, he just touched her face with his hand, and finally turned around and left with some reluctance.

Tonight is long, but every night will be long in the future.
