Chapter 22
The first time we met was at the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival.

No one would have thought that the little prince, who was only six years old, would secretly follow the empress and emperor out of the palace, and even arrive at this crowded and lively lantern festival.

The little prince loves to play, so he went to learn how to make lanterns.As a result, the lantern was finished, but he lost his father and queen.

His Royal Highness, who was a little road-crazy, walked alone on the busy street with a lantern, but he was not nervous at all, because there were hidden guards protecting him.

He didn't know who bumped into him, and he staggered forward, trying to stabilize his body, but he never thought that he would bump into her and push her to the ground.

"Sister, I'm sorry..." He got up quickly, bowing his head in embarrassment.

Seeing him like this, she suddenly wanted to touch his head, and she did it just thinking about it. "It's okay, don't bump into others." She said while touching his little head.

"Then sister, will you take me to play?" He raised his head, eyes full of prayers, really cute.

She agreed without hesitation, and took his hand like an adult.In fact, she was only seven years old.

The two of them played and quarreled in this street for a long time before they prepared to go back.Before leaving, he took out a silver bracelet from his pocket and gave it to her so that she would remember to wear it, saying that he would marry her in the future.

She laughed softly after hearing this, and wanted to refuse but couldn't.Just as he was about to reason with him in a serious manner, he discovered that his family had come to him. After he waved goodbye, he immediately ran away.

In fact, the so-called family means that he accompanied her to politely reject him, and specially asked the hidden guard to come out and take him away.

The meeting this time made her take root in his heart, and even entangled her for a lifetime in the future.

When he was eight years old, his mother died; when he was 14 years old, his father passed away.He had no choice but to sit on the throne and prop up the future of a country with his small body.

As for her, her father doted on his concubine and killed his wife, and didn't care about herself; her mother was poisoned.She can only go to her mother's natal family, practice martial arts, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just to avenge her mother one day.

When they met again, he sneaked out to play. When he went to eat, he saw her sitting at the next table in men's clothing.With just one glance, he recognized her woman, and...it was very likely that she was the young lady from back then.

There were rich men in the restaurant making troubles by relying on their background, she stepped forward and beat them up unceremoniously.Seeing her majestic appearance, the unknown emotion in his heart became even stronger.

Turning her head to see his smiling eyes, she smiled and left gracefully with lightness kung fu.

Later, the Empress Dowager fell ill, so he went to Qingfeng Temple to pray for his grandmother, and met her again.

She was dressed as a daughter in light green, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand.When the two accidentally bumped into each other, she unintentionally revealed her white and tender wrist, which was impressively wearing the bracelet he gave back then!

He suppressed the surprise in his heart, apologized with a smile, and went to the temple to pray for blessings.On the way, he secretly called the dark guard to check everything about her.

After praying, she was about to go back to the palace, but found that she was arguing with a man who seemed to have taken a fancy to something and wanted to take it by force.Walking in and taking a closer look, what the man was looking for seemed to be the bracelet he gave her.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, he said quietly: "Master, it's not good to be like this..." He smiled and looked at the man, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at him, he was a little surprised when he saw that it was his funny cousin.

"Your Majesty...shut up." His cousin turned around and finally suppressed the "Your Majesty". "Since my younger brother also said it, then I'll forget it." Said it seemed to be generous and left, but in fact he was secretly nervous, feeling that the emperor's cousin was going to clean up himself...

"Thank you son..." She saluted lightly.He smiled and said it's okay, and the two chatted for a long time before they hurriedly separated.

Looking at his back, she sneered.Yes, she guessed that he was the emperor.And she has a purpose, which is to get close to the emperor, and then slowly kill the emperor...

She went to her mother's natal family and was sent to the palace. The prince said that the deceased queen mother had a festival with her mother and indirectly killed her.She believed it, so she wanted to avenge her mother. The so-called "father's debt is paid by the son", since it is his mother's queen, then "the mother's debt should be paid by the son".

She memorized his preferences and looked up all available information on him.With her intentional contact and his intentional pandering, the two met more and more times, and their relationship became deeper and deeper.At least, he thought so.

He later confessed his identity and asked her if she would marry him and be the mother of the world.Since she couldn't ask for it, she quickly agreed after pretending to think about it.

Her father is a second-rank general in the court, so it is not difficult to marry her as a queen.And when she heard that she was going to marry herself, she was moved for some reason.Could it be because of the relationship in those days?

Soon, she suppressed that trace of heartbeat again.Determined in his heart, he wants to avenge his mother.

What she didn't know was that he had already asked the hidden guard to find out everything.However, he was moved, he just fell in love.He wanted to impress her with his heart, but it was really a big deal, so he gave her his life.

A letter from the emperor, ten miles of red makeup, and a city full of red, he finally married her.In the wedding hall, he swore a poisonous oath that she will be the only one in this life, and he will only love her.

"Would you like to advance and retreat with me? Life and death are boundless, and talk to Zicheng; hold your hand, and grow old together with Zicheng?" This was the first sentence he said when he lifted her hijab, his eyes were clear and decisive.

Her heart beat faster, and she said, "Okay." Then she met his loving eyes, and felt a burst of moisture on her lips.He deepened the kiss, and she couldn't help but sink into it.

That year, he was eighteen and she was nineteen.

After marriage, he doted on her extremely, and he would do whatever she wanted. When the cold emperor came in front of her, he became a little stupid.

This led to the fact that everyone in the court knew that the emperor was a fearful person.

Even though this was the case, she still injected chronic poison into his meals from time to time.Because in her heart, her mother's death was ultimately a thorn in her side.

She prescribed medicine, he knew that he had an antidote, but he never took it.Even if the food cooked by the person he loves the most is poisonous, he still enjoys it.

Until later, she took less doses and less frequent doses, but she still took them.

Once, seeing him chatting happily with his cousin, she felt sour and uncomfortable.Even for several nights in a row, when he ran to find her, he was kicked out.In addition, she was left out in the cold during the day.

His unreliable cousin gave her an idea, let him go to Nuanyang Pavilion, and learn how the girls there coax people.He didn't know what to think, but he agreed and followed his cousin.

Coincidentally, that day she thought about ignoring him for too long and wanted to make up for it, but she didn't expect to find him when she went to find him.I also learned from the eunuch that he went to Nuanyang Pavilion!

Poor His Majesty the emperor, when he arrived at Nuanyang Pavilion, he just ate pastries and watched his cousin show him how to coax girls, but was misunderstood by the empress.

When she arrived at Nuanyang Pavilion, when she saw him, she felt angry all of a sudden.Pulling his ears, we went back to the palace together.

He explained the reason pitifully, but she refused to listen. She had made up her mind, and she must give him a good time.Really, Nuanyang Pavilion?That's a brothel!How dare you go there!
Of course, His Majesty the Emperor, who has nowhere to vent, can only clean up his own cousin, it was all that guy's bad idea!
He was 22 years old, and when she was 23 years old, she gave birth to a little princess for him.

He took pains to take care of her while she was pregnant and give her the best.When she gave birth, he ignored the minister's obstruction, accompanied her and held her hand tightly.

Later, when his daughter came out, he said distressedly that he would never give birth again!Then, regardless of everything, she made her newborn daughter the crown princess.

The child born four years after marriage let him know that she really loves herself very much.Otherwise... she wouldn't have secretly taken that contraceptive pill any more.

Since the child was born, he and she have taken care of each other with their own hands and dedication.While pampering the little princess, she will also teach her severely.

It's really nice to be together as a family.

When her daughter was four years old, she finally stopped completely, secretly poisoning his meals.

Originally, she thought that she would live happily ever after, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened...

In the fifteenth year of the little princess, the prince who adopted her at the beginning said that his mother indirectly killed her mother's prince and planned to rebel.Moreover, it has begun to work slowly.

After he heard the news, he sent the prince to the frontier to defend against the enemy, intending to let the prince go.But who would have thought that the prince was talking nonsense in the army, and even colluded with foreign enemies, causing the dynasty to be defeated.

In a fit of anger, he killed the prince and ransacked his house.The rest of the family members were exiled to the frontier.In an instant, the palace was wiped out.

She was shocked when she heard the news in the harem, thinking that he intended to target the prince.After all, it was the prince who raised her and took care of her since childhood.She has an indescribable feeling for the prince...

The prince was gentle and kind in front of her, so she felt that he was targeting him deliberately.At dinner that night, she poisoned him again, much more than before.

In fact, subconsciously, she didn't allow herself to do so.But then he felt that his hidden guard must have found out, and he would take the antidote, right?
That's how it happened, which made her lose the person she loved the most.

That day, he received her father's incriminating evidence, he didn't say anything, and let the people from the criminal department handle the matter.

Then he received the memorial that her father was executed, her home was raided, and her family members were exiled.After he saw it, he smiled.Yes, he was disappointed in her after she increased the dose of poison.

He is now just supporting his body to strengthen his daughter's government and let her ascend the throne in the future, so it doesn't have to be too hard.

After announcing the imperial edict of his daughter's enthronement in the morning, he came to her palace with a pale face.The two of you haven't seen each other for five or six days...

The moment she saw him, she panicked.Because she had a feeling in her heart that she was going to...lose him.She was afraid, she was really, really afraid... She knew, he already knew everything.

Before taking the medicine, I thought he had an antidote, but now... "You can punish me however you want. You can even kill me if you want to..." Her voice was painful and desolate.

"But, I beg you to take the antidote, okay?" The antidote she took out in a panic was thrown aside by him.

"I'm really...disappointed. I always thought that I could impress you, but I didn't expect..." He shed two lines of tears, and his face became paler.That was the first time he used the word "Zhen" to her.

She only felt that her heart was getting more and more painful, as if she could no longer breathe.Full of regret... In the end, what kind of bastard is she, that she would attack her true love...

"I asked you if you would like to advance and retreat with me...you agreed...you lied to me..." He was like a wronged child, "so I plan to leave first."

Walking out of the palace gate, a fishy sweetness rose in his throat.Throwing it out suddenly, he laughed mockingly in his heart, and finally... fainted on the ground.

She rushed out like crazy, hugged him, and shouted "Doctor".He miraculously opened his eyes again, "You bastard, you have to take care of yourself and your daughter..." After all, he was reluctant and could not hate.

He scratched her cheek and whispered in her ear, "I love you...until death..." After hearing her reply "I love you too", he died...

She hugged him, crying heartbreakingly...

After that, she seems to be a heartless walking dead.She only smiles when facing her daughter.

If he hadn't asked her to take good care of her daughter, she would never have lived alone.As for taking care of yourself, as long as you are with him, it is the best way to take care of yourself.

Finally, she saw that her daughter recruited the emperor's husband, gave birth to a grandson, and continued his foundation to create a prosperous world.On that day, ten years had passed since he left...

She took the poison and left.Before leaving, his face was filled with the brightest and most beautiful smile when he was with him face to face.

In the next life, I don’t ask for anything else, I only hope that you are still willing to love me; if you are still willing, give your heart to me...
