Jiangmen's direct daughter is busy farming

Chapter 303: When I Was Young (2)
Wu Youer, the eight-year-old sister of Wu Qicai, the lord of Dongjiang City, is quiet, weak and timid. After entering the palace with her elder brother Wu Qi, she didn't dare to walk around. Fortunately, there were maids leading her to the palaces of Concubine Ling and Concubine De respectively. Sleeping hall.

Perhaps, fate is so wonderful, when Wu Youer went to Concubine Ling's palace, she happened to meet the handsome and extraordinary man Ling Lanjie, her heart fell like this, and Ling Lanjie also had a good impression of this little girl with the pure eyes of a deer.

When Ling Lanxiang saw Wu You'er, after knowing that she was the most beloved younger sister of the Lord of Dongjiang City, she was very enthusiastic towards her. The innocent Wu Youer just regarded Ling Lanxiang as a confidant big sister.

After the full moon banquet was over, Wu You'er followed her brother back to Dongjiang, but since then, she would always receive letters from Ling Lanxiang or good things as rewards from time to time. He boldly mentioned Ling Lanjie.

Later, Ling Lanjie went to Dongjiang to work. At that time, Wu You'er had gradually grown into a delicate beauty, and she was somewhat similar to the former queen Murong Wan'er.The two spent a sweet time in Eastern Xinjiang that few people knew about until Ling Lanjie returned to Beijing.

After Wu You'er got married, Ling Lanxiang, who had become a queen, ordered her to enter the palace for a banquet, and in the secret letter to her, he said that he would point out a good marriage for her, and it was ambiguously stated that the other party might be Ling Lanjie.

So, with longing for the future and expectations for her lover, Wu You'er embarked on the road to the capital, but she never thought that not long after she arrived in the palace, she happened to meet the emperor Xiao Xuan, and she has been immersed in the shadow of the former queen's death. Xiao Xuan in the movie went crazy when he saw Wu You'er who was exactly like Murong Wan'er.

Before Queen Ling and Ling Lanjie could stop her, Wu You'er turned around and became Concubine Shu, the emperor's favorite harem woman.

The matter should have ended here, but the brothers and sisters of the Ling family were not reconciled.Ling Lanxiang was annoyed that she originally wanted to win over the lord of Dongjiang City, but she didn't expect that it would be self-defeating. Wu You'er did not become her sister-in-law, but became her rival in love with her.

Ling Lanjie was annoyed that he conspired with his younger sister, the queen mother and concubine De to kill Murong Wan'er, but he did not expect to push his sweetheart who looked exactly like Murong Wan'er onto the emperor's dragon couch by accident.

Ling Lanxiang wanted to assassinate Wu Youer several times, but was stopped by her brother. She thought, since she can't kill Wu Youer, then turn Wu Youer into a pawn she can control, so she asked Wu Youer to give Xiao Chenyu the poison , causing Xiao Chenyu to become a murderous lunatic in the palace.

Wu You'er originally didn't want to hurt anyone, but Ling Lanjie told her that for her son who was not the emperor's own son, for their future, only the emperor's favorite son died, went crazy, and became stupid, so that they could save their lives.

Wu Youer's favorite man has always been Ling Lanjie. No matter how good the emperor treats her, she still feels that she is just a substitute for the former queen Murong Wan'er, and the emperor ruined her life.

Therefore, she originally had resentment towards the emperor in her heart, coupled with the instigation of the brothers and sisters of the Ling family, she was fascinated for a while, and she used her kind and weak face to deceive the young Xiao Chenyu.

Later, she suffered from the torment of her conscience every day, and she couldn't help but want to tell the emperor the truth many times, but she dared not because she was also an accomplice.

In desperation, she had no choice but to make a dangerous move, making the emperor vaguely think that her son Xiao Chenming was not his dragon species, and then begged the emperor to let her stay away from the palace.

In this way, the suspicious and furious emperor drove Wu You'er and her son to Gyeongju, and she was eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha in Gyeongju, hoping to alleviate the sins in her heart. She felt that she was sorry for the first queen, sorry for the emperor, and sorry Xiao Chenyu is also sorry for his son Xiao Chenming.

Listening to Concubine Shu's narration of the past events, Jingyue also sighed a lot. Concubine Shu's biggest mistake might be falling in love with Ling Lanjie.

"Concubine Shu, do you know what happened between Empress Ling and Empress Xian? Did she tell you?" Jingyue asked.

Concubine Shu nodded and said, "Empress Ling knows very well that as long as her brother is alive, she can't touch me. But she doesn't want my life to be easy, she knows that I will not be able to because of those things." Telling the secret, she was tortured every day, so consciously or unconsciously, she revealed that she and Concubine De killed the former empress together, and of course the empress dowager and Ling Lanjie."

Seeing the dismal smile on Concubine Shu's face, Jingyue said: "Empress Ling knows that you and Ling Lanjie were once lovers, and you still love Ling Lanjie deeply. She believes that after telling you this secret, you will never Betray them, but your conscience won't allow you to frankly live every day as if nothing happened, and maybe one day you will die of your own guilt, which has nothing to do with her."

"Concubine Yue, maybe you guessed right. In the first days, I lived like years. There were many nights I thought about this last life, but when I thought of my Minger, I had to survive. In Gyeongju , I eat vegetarian food and recite the Buddha just to make my heart feel better, maybe I can’t tell the secret in my heart in this life, but at least the Buddha can hear my repentance.” Speaking of this, Concubine Shu’s eyes showed pious gaze .

"Although Buddhists often say: 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.' But they also talked about karma, and said, 'It's not that there is no retribution, the time has not yet come'. Eating fast and chanting Buddha is not the real way for you to redeem your sins, concubine Shu. If you let If your conscience is at ease, then you should tell the truth to more people, and you cannot allow those bad people to continue to do evil things. I think the reason why Concubine Shu chose to tell me all this today is because you plan to finish speaking These will end your life, won't you?" Jingyue stared into Concubine Shu's eyes and said.

"Concubine Yue, you—" Concubine Shu didn't expect Jingyue to be able to guess her thoughts.

"You want to know why I can guess what's in your heart? Hehe, it's actually very simple, because you still love Ling Lanjie deeply and want to protect your son King Ming even more. You think that as long as you die, all of this The secret will not come out of your mouth again, and you choose to tell me, just want to make peace of mind before you die. Concubine Shu, am I right?" Jingyue asked.

"Perhaps you're right. I'm just a woman who loves but can't. I'm a mother who wants to protect her children. I can't do much. Maybe I can save a lot of trouble if I die," said Concubine Shu. .

"Concubine Shu, I can finally understand why the brothers and sisters of the Ling family were able to control you so easily back then, because you are so simple. Do you think you can hide the fact that your son is not of royal blood after you die? You Do you think that if you die, Ling Lanjie will have no worries? Do you think that if you die, you can really go to the Nine Springs to seek forgiveness from the former queen? You are so naive!" Jingyue said sarcastically.
