wedding dress

Chapter 105
The emperor let out a breath slowly, and only said: "Don't be angry, queen mother. Sit down and talk slowly. Gao Qing takes the princess out first."

The Empress Dowager Shengci's tone was not soft: "This matter is closely related to Xiaodong, she should also listen to how the emperor plans to give her justice."

The high female officer lowered her head and slowly backed out with solemn hands.

Xiaodong only hated herself for not being able to slip away like the senior lady.There was an air of breathless tension in the hall. 〕

Xiaodong helped the queen mother to sit down, she could clearly feel the cold palms of the queen mother.

So did she herself.

The queen came back so quickly, but at this time, both of them were silent.

Xiaodong stood aside, and after a while, the emperor waved to her.

Xiaodong walked over slowly.

"The injury... is it all healed?"

"Go back to the emperor, it will be ready long ago."

The emperor looked at her seriously.Xiaodong was wearing an ivory double-breasted satin shirt with plain chrysanthemum pattern and a tea-colored water-wave skirt, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, slim and graceful, and no longer looked like a childish child.

"Mother, I still remember that when I was studying in school, I was beaten by my teacher. I went back and developed a high fever, and I was lying alone in the room... The queen was also pregnant at that time, and she didn't care about me at all. I struggled quietly. to see you, do you remember?"

The Empress Dowager Shengci was startled slightly, lost in thought, and said in a low voice, "Of course I remember."

"I asked at that time, are you my mother? You didn't speak, just nodded to me. I asked again, why didn't you come to see me when I was sick... You didn't answer me at that time, in fact, I Later, I also understood that it was for my own good that you didn't come to see me, if you talked to me and got close to me, the queen would not tolerate our mother and child."

Empress Dowager Shengci recalled the situation at that time.At that time, he was only five years old, his little face was flushed, and his lips were cracked.He just stood at the door and looked at her.Over the years, she has never forgotten his gaze at that time.

He had been looking forward to seeing her, and then left disappointed.

She didn't come close to him, didn't give him a hug.

She didn't cry until he was gone.

It was the flesh and blood that fell from her body, but she couldn't even hug him, and she didn't even dare to call his name.

"After the Queen gave birth to Prince Yuan, my situation was even worse. I told myself that no one can help me, I have to rely on myself to survive day by day. Do you remember how arrogant Prince Yuan was at that time? He said With a sound, I had to get down on the ground and be his horse. My brother was pushed down by him and fell unconscious. It took more than a day to wake up. I begged many people to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at my brother, but no one came. Pay attention to me. My younger brother woke up by himself later and told me that he didn't hurt at all. At that time, I thought, even for my younger brother, for you, I must succeed."

His tone was calm, and Xiaodong felt sour when he heard it.

It turns out that the emperor and King An had a hard time when they were young—but King An never told her about it.

"Mother, do you remember why Prince Yuan is gone?"

"Isn't it... a fever?"

"That's right, but at that time, the empress treated this son-in-law as precious and careful as her eyes. Why did he get a fever?"

Xiaodong's heart tightened.

God, how did she hear such... such a secret?
God, earth, let her get in through a crack in the ground, or let her faint immediately, just don't let her hear the emperor say these things again.

She lowered her head and did not dare to look at the expressions of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.After the emperor finished speaking, the Empress Dowager Shengci remained silent for a while, and the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

The emperor went on to say: "Without the prince Yuan, the queen is not satisfied with me. There were three princes, Prince Cheng, Prince Xian and Prince Yi, who were raised by her. Prince Cheng has no biological mother and relatives. Cowardly and docile, he is stronger than me. At that time, the empress was more interested in Prince Xian, and the people of the Chen family had already asked him to be the crown prince, but there was no room for negotiation between me and the empress. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. One day she found out about Prince Yuan, and the three of us, mother and son, had no way out. Even if it wasn't for saving the position, but for saving my life, I couldn't lose. Qingyuan has a deep affection for me, and with her talent and beauty Well, there are as many people admiring her in and out of the palace as a crucian carp in a river, but she only favors me... We didn't find many opportunities to meet at that time, and even if we did, we didn't have the chance to say anything. But even if we were far away in the crowd To look at her gives me an unspeakable joy—but I cannot marry her."

Xiaodong was going to be stupid.

Qingyuan?Isn't Qingyuan... her mother?
Xiaodong had guessed before that maybe there was an unspeakable love entanglement between the emperor, her mother, and King An, and she even laughed at herself for being too absurd.But I didn't expect, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the emperor really...

She stood there in a daze, listening to the emperor's voice, which was even lower than before: "I want to marry the daughter of the Li family. Qingyuan came to me before I got married, and said goodbye to me, saying that she didn't blame me, and wished her well." I am going well, safe and healthy. I watched her walk, climbed to the pavilion and looked into the distance. I wanted to rush out and chase her back..."

The scene seemed to be unfolding in front of my eyes, the long palace road was surrounded by emptiness and silence.When the young emperor watched his beloved drift away, despair was like a rope around his neck, tightening it bit by bit until he couldn't breathe.

Can't talk, can't shout, can't cry, can't stay...

The Empress Dowager Shengci's voice trembled a little: "You have always been in good health, but before you got married, you suffered from that serious illness. It turns out that the illness was because of her..."

However, why did Yao Qingyuan marry An Wang after a few years?

While Xiaodong was terrified, she couldn't restrain her doubts.

She quietly looked up at the emperor.

The emperor didn't seem to have the usual majesty and imposing manner, and his face was a little pale.At this time, he seemed to be a direct brother to An Wang, and he was more similar.

"Father, the emperor, will be in my position after all... But I am the emperor, and I still have to watch the face of the Empress Dowager Shengde to live. The queen mother will also be oppressed by her. The harem is controlled by her. She wants to intervene in the affairs of the government, and even the affairs of the younger brother's house. You have to ask. If it wasn't for this, Princess An, Princess Shen, wouldn't have died so early. After so many years, I endured it, and my mother and younger brother also endured it. Looking back, every step I took was wounded and bloody."

Where the emperor was sitting, the light did not directly shine on him, and Xiaodong felt that his whole body and the shadow were about to merge together.

Cold sweat gradually oozes from her back, and she is dripping with cold.Although the weather was getting warmer, it was scorching hot when I came here just now, but it was cool and empty when I entered the Zichen Palace, the little bit of heat had already turned into a chill, she was a little dazed, and felt that what she heard was extremely unreal.

——And, it seems that there are more terrible words, slowly floating up from the deep water of time.

"Ms. Li helped you, but what she did, should the emperor just pretend that she didn't see or hear it, and don't pursue it?"

Lee?Queen?

I wrote a thousand before and felt bad.Deleted the rewritten one. . . .

Hugs everyone. .
