The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 130

Yufu Palace.

In two days, it will be Qiuxi, and the moon is almost full.

The children had already gone to bed, and Chu Xue stood alone outside the hall, looking up at the lonely bright moon in the night sky.Yanling came from behind, sighed softly, and put on a thick coat while persuading her: "It's more exposed, master, be careful not to catch the cold."

She murmured, "When the moon is full, it will disappear. Is it the same for people? I have been perfect before, and now it's time for it to disappear."

Yan Ling frowned, "Master, don't say that, you see, the emperor has already re-investigated the general's case, and it won't be long before he can repeat the general's name, and even this can be achieved, why are you still short? From now on, you will be truly consummated."

"But he..."

After speaking halfway, she still swallowed it back, looked away, turned and entered the hall, and ordered: "It's getting late, help me to change clothes."

I wanted to persuade her to wait a little longer, but after all, it was a matter between two people, so I stopped persuading her and followed her into the bedroom to remove her make-up and change her clothes.

It was only for her to untangle her hair, but a communication sounded in the originally quiet courtyard. Hearing the words "the emperor is here", Yan Ling paused, put down the comb, and said to her with a smile, "Look, isn't this coming here?" Come on, master, hurry up and pick her up." Then he helped her to the gate of the hall.

"The concubine welcomes the emperor." When Song Chen stopped walking, he heard her whisper.

She lowered her head, and Song Chen stood, still able to smell the fragrance from her loose long hair. This is such a familiar and comforting smell, which can only be found in this place.

He didn't speak, just raised his hand, and the surrounding palace people understood and retreated one after another.She was still kneeling, and when she saw his hand stretched out in front of her, her heart suddenly felt warm, and she also stretched out her hand, and he led him into the bedroom.

He didn't speak all the time, as if he still didn't know how to face her who had changed her real identity. At this time, there was no one in the hall, only the faint yellow light, and he confronted her. Seeing that her eyes were still downcast, he reached out and lifted her chin.Her eyes were a little swollen, and even though it had been a day, she could still see that she had been crying for a long time. He sighed and said, "Don't you know how to take care of yourself? Does it feel good to cry like this?"

All the preparations and embankments that I had made in my heart suddenly collapsed after hearing his words, and tears welled up again. She threw herself into his arms and cried, "Your Majesty..."

do you forgive me

The layers of his clothes were wet with her tears, and he felt helpless. After she cried for a while, he asked, "Didn't I retry that case for your father? Why are you still crying? It's already three years old." The child's mother, how come you still look like a little girl?"

She sobbed: "I think the emperor won't forgive me and never come again?"

He sighed again: "Where else can I go if I don't come here?" Seemingly a little angry, he gritted his teeth lightly and said: "You bad woman, you have lied to me for so long, and now you have even given birth to three children, and you still have to give birth to me again." Shall I get out?"

She turned from sadness to joy, couldn't help laughing out loud, but there were still crystal tears on her face, she hugged his waist tightly, and said: "I dare not, I hope the emperor will never leave."

The strength binding her also strengthened, and he also hugged her tightly. For a moment, the hall was speechless, only a long and extremely precious hug remained.

Tonight's actions have already explained everything, she finally stopped worrying, and when she calmed down in his arms, she suddenly remembered something, raised her head and asked: "Your Majesty, I don't understand something..."

"I don't know how I know Yue Wen?" He said it for her.She nodded, looked at him with crystal clear eyes, and waited for him to answer her questions.

His heart fluttered slightly, and he lowered his head to kiss her cherry lips.

In fact, before last night, he was not sure that she was Yue Wen. To be precise, he knew that her identity was a mystery, but he did not know the exact answer.As for when and why he had doubts about her identity, it must be traced back to when he returned to Beijing before he ascended the throne, when the Xu family found the real nurse who was Chu Xue's childhood.

Although the royal palace is not as good as the imperial palace, the rules are also strict, and not just anyone can enter. At that time, an old woman was suddenly stuffed into the palace. Although she was her nurse, she was Xu Jinhe from Pei Guogong. She was brought here by the mansion, and this kind of strangeness alone was enough for him to check it out. Of course, he didn't think about her life experience at the time, just in case, fearing that someone with a heart would put eyeliner in the mansion.

Naturally, Madam Zheng was no one's eyeliner. Although she only stayed in the palace for a few days before being sent back to Chu's mansion, Song Chen's people found some old clues after some investigation.For example, Madam Zheng and dozens of other servants who had been staying at the Chu family well were all sent out because of Chu Xue’s smallpox. The smallpox survivors are very few, and after more than a month after she went to the suburbs of Beijing for treatment, she recovered from the disease...

In addition, Chu Lin has a niece who is Yue Lan's daughter, Yue Wen, who is about the same age as Chu Xue. It was discovered that he was not with other members of the Yue family. When he discovered it, it was already difficult to distinguish his face...

The Chu family concealed it very well, covering up the truth completely, so that even if his people went to investigate, they could only find out clues, but could not draw conclusions.

His loyal subordinates had reminded him that there might be a possibility here, but although he was shocked at the time, he was not as angry as others had guessed.First of all, that in itself is just a fruitless guess, most of the possibilities, she is still Chu Xue's, isn't it?After all, he could also see that the relationship between her and Chu Lin and his wife was that of flesh and blood. Would anyone in the world treat other people's children as their own?He didn't quite believe it.

Secondly, even if she is really the orphan of the Yue family, so what?Chu Lin still supported him to win the world, the most important thing is, he loves this woman and everything about her, does he even care what her last name is?

He didn't really believe it in his heart at first, but when a series of things happened one after another, such as the death of the first emperor and his succession to the throne, he put it aside.Afterwards, that night when the Sanctuary was on fire, he almost lost her. At that time, he realized that the feeling of his heart being hollowed out in half was too tormenting, so he told himself, whether she was the girl who escaped death or not, He doesn't care anymore.

Later, it was their new life in this palace. She gave birth to Le'er, lost a child, and gave birth to Xuan'er and An'an. As the years passed, that matter had long been sealed in the dust. which corner.But when Liao Zhong's case was uncovered and Xu Jinhe died, this old matter was brought up again.

At that time, in front of Xing Feng, Xu Jinhe drank the glass of poisoned wine and said, "Tell him for me, how good is the woman he thought he was protecting? She is not a fake! She is simply The remnant of the Yue family is a vixen who came to seduce the Lord and overthrow the world! He wants to live with her forever?" She sneered, "I tell you, even if I die, I will turn into a ghost, and I have to wait and see. One day, how will he and that woman turn against each other! She is simply a fake, a fake..."

The last words this woman left in this world were this hoarse shout.

Xu Jinhe knew that Xing Feng was the most loyal guard, and the words he said before his death would reach Song Chen's ears no matter what. Although he was not sure, as long as Song Chen heard these words, he would inevitably not investigate. Regardless of whether Chu Xue is the remnant of the Yue family or not, she is the best. If it is found out, it is a felony against the Jiu Clan. Even if it cannot be found out, these words can always make Song Chen suspicious and drive a wedge between the two. She doesn't believe it, Song Chen He will love her so much that he has no principles at all, and he will not care about it.

But Xu Jinhe was still wrong, Song Chen's love really reached the point where she could ignore her identity.

And his anger last night was actually angry at her distrust.She was indeed Yue Wen, the little girl who had survived many hardships, but since she had already handed herself over to him, why didn't she tell about it?Was it because he was afraid that he would reject her, or did he think he would kill her?

Why didn't she ask herself for help early on, and she insisted on speaking out when things had to be said, and she was frank, because she was afraid that she would not care about the Yue family's affairs.

But when he returned to Qinzheng Palace and calmed down, all he could do was feel bad for what the little girl in the story had suffered when she was young, and for her to live to this day as someone else.

He thought at the time, since he was wrong from the beginning, he might as well continue to be wrong. After all, if it weren't for this mistake, he would never have met her in this life, so he forgave her.

But when the turmoil in it subsided, now that she asked, he was not in a hurry to answer, and a small sense of revenge arose. She had kept it from him for so long, so she had to suffer a little.

After the kiss was over, he coughed and said: "You have lied to me for so long, and I want you to taste what it is like not to know. I don't intend to tell you about this."

She pursed her lips slightly to look at him, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, and she was a little embarrassed, she lowered her eyes and said: "If the emperor doesn't say anything, just don't say anything, the concubine will be punished."

"What kind of punishment is this?" He chuckled, "Can this little punishment be worth your felony crime of deceiving the emperor?"

The tone of the words "felony of bullying the emperor" seemed to be particularly heavy. She was taken aback, then raised her eyes to look at him, a little apprehensive, "Then how does the emperor plan to deal with the courtiers and concubines?"

Her voice was soft, and she sounded guilty and worried, that's right, she knew that she had made a mistake, which benefited him.He squeezed her tightly into his arms, lightly pinched her chin, and said through gritted teeth: "I will punish you, and you will not be allowed to leave my side for the rest of your life. You are my man when you are born, and your ghost when you die."

She wanted to laugh, but he blocked her mouth. The sweetness in her heart was submerged in the lingering kiss. She said in her heart, "One life is not enough, and I will be with you in the next life."

Because she didn't sleep the night before, Chu Xue was extremely tired when the bed returned to tranquility, but Song Chen didn't let her fall asleep immediately because there was still one thing to explain.

Song Chen hugged her and said: "Although I can accept your background, it is not easy to explain to the Queen Mother, as well as the court, Chinese, military officials and the people of the world. If you suddenly tell them, it may be inappropriate. Also, Regardless of whether it was an unjust case or not, Chu Lin lied to the late emperor after all, if someone wants to impeach him, I'm afraid..."

She understood what he meant, and took the initiative to say: "The concubine understands that as long as the emperor can retry the case against the concubine for the concubine, the concubine doesn't care whether she can be Yue Wen again. The parents treat the concubine as if they were their own. , to be the daughter of the Chu family, to be Chu Xue for the rest of her life."

Then she raised her eyes to look at him, and said seriously: "The concubine is the emperor's Xue'er, and will always be."

"Okay." He lowered his head, kissed his Xue'er again, and hugged her to sleep.

With the emperor's decree, those who used to worry about the late emperor fully understood that the emperor is indeed a rare wise emperor.Since there was a retrial, they acted immediately. After all, the people who wanted to overturn the case were already in their hands, and Chi Yu was there to corroborate the case. In less than three days, the third division obtained the most critical statement, which had already been detained in the prison. Zhao Chu admitted that he did participate in the framing of Yue Lan's treason at the beginning, and that Yue Lan's handwriting in those letters was indeed forged, and the mastermind behind everything was indeed Xu Jilin.

The emperor was furious, and immediately issued an imperial decree to depose Xu Jilin and put him in prison, waiting for the final trial.

Xu House.

Before the imperial decree and the people from the Ministry of Punishment brought him, the rebellious Marquis Pingnan asked the people around him one last time, "Are you all ready?"

The entourage once again gave a definite answer.

He smiled coldly, waiting for the person who came to "capture" him.
