The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 101 Extra: Shen Xiao Chapter [-]

I said to her without thinking: "Chu Ying's child has nothing to do with me."

I promised this one person and never broke it.

Jiang Qingyue was stunned and smiled slightly awkwardly.

"But, this matter has nothing to do with me."

I lowered my gaze and said to myself: "She had an affair with someone from the Forbidden Army and became pregnant with a child. It happened that the court officials were pressing me hard, and I thought that you probably didn't want to see anything happen to Chu Ying, so I simply admitted it. Come down."

The eldest son of the emperor born to Chu Ying and the princess born to Meng Zhen in the harem are not mine.

My only child does not have my surname. He takes his mother’s surname of Jiang.

Jiang Qingyue smiled even more awkwardly: "You are quite a nice person."

I shook my head: "What's wrong with me? I've asked you to take care of your children alone for so many years, but I didn't even come to see you."

At first, I was afraid that I would meet Qin Gu when I came, but later I didn't dare to face her.

Just like that, Zongzi is already 12 years old.

As soon as she heard this, the smile on her face disappeared and she quickened her pace to walk past me.

I held her wrist.

"Zongzi looks like me. When you see him, do you sometimes think of me?"

She stopped and sighed.

"The older he gets, the more he looks like you. It doesn't even hurt me to fight him."

I curled my lips.

"He is so good, can you bear to beat him?"

"My child is nothing for you to worry about."

"It's mine too."

She said amusedly: "I have raised him for 12 years, and you say he is your child? No, Zong'er is my child alone."

I know I have to have a better attitude, I'm here to be soft.

I reasoned with her in a gentle voice: "You deliberately hid it from me. If you hadn't hid it from me, I would have raised him too. How could I have missed 12 years of family happiness between father and son? Qingyue, you You have to make it up to me..."

Jiang Qingyue also reasoned with me:
"Did I force you to forget that thing? You forgot it yourself. I never deliberately hid it from you. In this case, I just didn't come to ask you why you didn't take responsibility? What's the point of saying I'm sorry for you? make up?"

Wrong reasoning, obviously wrong reasoning.

I felt a little aggrieved: "You know, I will forget everything I do when I drink. You know I will forget."

Jiang Qingyue sighed: "I know, so what? What you forgot is none of my business."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked feebly.

She stood next to me, looked at me, and asked me the same sentence: "What about you, why didn't you tell me?"

"what?"

I vaguely understood what she was talking about and opened my mouth, but there was no words.

Jiang Qingyue smiled: "Forget it, we have been like this for 12 years. If we are not living well, there is no need..."

"It's not good," I said. "I'm not doing well."

There are piles and piles of excerpts. In addition to some really important state affairs, there are countless overt and covert struggles written between the lines. It is a headache to read.

When I was free, there was no one to talk to. The people around me were all following the rules and had low eyebrows, which was extremely boring.

I often miss the days long ago when I had a person to look forward to and a marriage to look forward to, unlike today, which is boring and lonely day after day.

Jiang Qingyue said: "It's really not easy for you."

Her tone was calm, without any hint of ripples, and seemed a bit perfunctory.

I was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, I asked her, "Qin Gu said that something good was going to happen for you at the beginning. Why didn't it happen later?"

Jiang Qingyue thought for a while and said, "I don't know."

"do not know?"

She nodded: "Suddenly, he said that we were not getting married. I thought it was a good thing that he didn't tell anyone widely, so forget it."

I didn't expect that it was Qin Gu who mentioned it.

But wasn't he quite persistent, so why did he give up?

Jiang Qingyue said: "If nothing happens, I'm going back." I quickly picked out the key points and said: "I have read the article about the Zonger Academy Examination, which is very good. Since he wants to obtain fame, he is determined to make contributions. You If you are willing..."

"No," she interrupted me and said calmly, "You also know that your life is unhappy. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."

She turned to go.

I said with some sadness in my heart: "Jiang Qingyue, sometimes I feel that you have never loved me, even back then."

She paused: "Really? What happened back then was too far away, I can't remember it."

After saying this, she left without looking back.

When I returned to Jinling City, I immersed myself in state affairs and did not allow myself any leisure time.

Sister Huang came to ask me how my trip to Yangzhou was going.

I said tiredly, "You should have told me earlier that she really wanted to marry someone else, so I wouldn't have looked for her again."

The imperial sister was confused: "You really want to marry? Who?"

"Qin Gu," I said, "Qin Gu gave up on this marriage for no reason. She must have regrets in her heart."

"Inexplicable?" The imperial sister shook her head, "It's clear that everything happened for a reason, why is it inexplicable?"

I was a little interested, but didn't want to ask. I just watched the emperor silently, waiting for her to tell what happened that year.

The imperial sister let out a long sigh and said helplessly:

"Because she called your name when she was sick and confused. Qin Gu felt a little uncomfortable, but he felt that there was no reason to argue with her over a name he called when he was sick, so he got angry and proposed to cancel the marriage, but he didn't expect that she agreed. Qin Gu said that he actually just wanted to feel present, but whenever she asked him why or coaxed him, he would bow his head obediently."

I was like a piece of wood, sitting in front of the imperial sister with a dull expression.

I heard her calling my name when she was confused.

It was on Jiu Ming Mountain that the aphrodisiac took effect, and both her and my consciousness gradually faded away.

It was her painful and lingering screams that brought me back to consciousness.

Later, I didn’t think much about it. I thought that being with me and calling my name didn’t mean anything.

She really doesn't care about me anymore.

The imperial sister continued: "Qin Gu stayed in the Jiang family for half a year, admitting his mistake and apologizing. Jiang Qingyue told him to forget it. It's more comfortable to be friends."

From beginning to end, Jiang Qingyue didn't ask Qin Gu for an explanation.

So she really didn't know why Qin Gu didn't marry her.

Sister Huang looked at me deeply and sighed helplessly: "You two look very sensible, but in fact you are both dead-headed."

I shook my head dumbly.

"It has been more than ten years since she broke off the engagement. She has always been very cold to me and never responded at all."

I've seen her love me.

She is only green in front of me.

She would blush and secretly kiss me while I was taking a nap.

I would get angry and quarrel with others because of what others said about me.

I will shed tears because I am injured and sick.

She gave me all her tenderness.

Therefore, her coldness later, her attitude of not caring about my life or death or my pain, I felt clearly.

The imperial sister said: "Don't you know what she cares about?"

I probably know that she wants to be free and no longer wants to be trapped in these intrigues.

I was wearing a green bamboo jade pendant around my waist.

A picture of the past came to mind.

It was in the peach blossom forest in Jiang Mansion. We were sitting on the grass, and she was leaning against my arms.

That day, she looked at me and said softly: "They are fighting for the throne. They are a group of lunatics fighting to the death. You must not participate."

I played with her fingers and asked her, "Are you afraid something will happen to me?"

She said: "If something happens to you, Shu Ning will be so sad."

I asked: "What about you, are you sad?"
