Fengming Emperor Pavilion

Chapter 171 Your Heart Is Too Soft

In fact, He Zhou knew very well what Donghua's words meant.

After so many years, Donghua suddenly found that woman at this time, and Hezhou also vaguely remembered the woman's begging for mercy.

Weeping heartbroken.

The words begging the prince for mercy came from Hezhou, and the slaves standing not far away were frightened. Hezhou is Donghua's most trusted person in the palace. For so many years, he has never seen Donghua treat Hezhou. Not half a sentence.

But at this time, Hezhou looked at Donghua in such a panic and said such words as forgiveness, it must be that something important happened.

Everyone was also faintly vigilant.

Donghua looked at Hezhou's appearance, and said in a deep voice, "Find him for me!"

When Donghua said these words so bluntly, He Zhou knew that Donghua had already known that he had let that woman go.

It wasn't that he disobeyed Donghua's order, it was because he saw that girl as his own daughter back then, so he watched her crying heartbrokenly and said that he was wronged and ordered by others, and he just begged to spare her life. I will never appear in this imperial capital again.

It was precisely because of this that Hezhou disobeyed Donghua's order and sent her out of the city. Moreover, she was just an ordinary woman these years. It was good for her to marry a husband, and her family was well-off. He Zhou visited occasionally, and she has lived a life of duty for many years.

"Yes!" It is impossible for He Zhou to obstruct or say anything at this time, he can only lead Donghua's order to find the woman back.

None of them knew the cause and effect of the incident back then, and what Donghe said to Donghua just now was only half spoken and half hidden.

He Zhou left, Donghua's face was pale and sinister.

Ban Cen came over and watched Dong Hua stumble back to the attic.

What Donghe said just now is still buzzing in his mind.

child?He and Shen Hualou had children?

The nightmare in the middle of the night in Hualou, the dreamer was not Donghe, but him!
Donghua couldn't imagine her reaction when she knew the truth, and he didn't know if everything in that year was exposed, would the result be different?At least that child won't die, at least Hualou won't lose sleep at night because of such a nightmare?At least, he has the ability to keep her mother and child safe?
If Hualou hadn't been so desperate at the time and Donghe hadn't been moved, wouldn't he have chosen to protect her and kill his son?
So the situation today will be very different?
How much hatred is there in Hualou's heart?Donghua had already felt it a few days before the full moon feast of Rong Xi's child.

His child, he had loved her for so many years, and she had conceived his child, but she didn't know it, and neither did he, that child died like that!
In these passing years, no one dared to easily remove those scars that were stained with dust.

Donghua felt very cold, as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cave, shivering, his hands and face turned blue.

Donghe had been hiding this matter for so many years, and now he finally said it to him angrily, he just wanted to hurt him, wanted him to suffer the same pain, remorse!
Thinking about this will make my heart feel better, will I be redeemed!
After going to Hezhou for a whole day, at dusk she finally brought the woman. She was dressed in ordinary and clean clothes, and appeared in front of Donghua along with Hezhou.

She was a servant of the palace back then, looking at Donghua's back, she knelt down slowly and kowtowed heavily.

"Slave Qingyan sees the prince!" She was lying on the ground so quietly, Donghua turned around slowly after a long time, looked at this woman, and said coldly: "Raise your head!"

She slowly raised her head and looked at Donghua, as if she had settled down a lot.

"What happened back then?" Donghua asked sharply.

"The servant girl only obeyed the arrangement of the emperor and the prince at that time, so that the servant girl didn't know what kind of intentions they had. Thank you for the forgiveness of the prince!" Qingyan is a smart person, and the person who forgave her was not Dong. Hua, the animation never thought of forgiving her, but now she came to thank Donghua.

"Then what do you know?" Donghua asked coldly.

Qingyan slowly raised her eyes to look at He Zhou. On the way here, He Zhou told her. Seeing He Zhou nodded slightly, she said in a deep voice: "The prince was sent back to the palace at Maoshi that day, and the slaves and the prince Nothing happened, the lord forgives the sin, the parents of the servants were in the hands of the crown prince, and the servants had no other choice!"

She spoke affectionately and sincerely. Donghua's heart sank to the bottom of the valley when she heard her say that. If she hadn't lied, what Donghe said would be true. The child is his child, and the faint What happened on the bed, that person is also a painter.

Even after Hezhou took this person away, Donghua still hadn't recovered.

When Donghua was alone, he thought quietly, if he hadn't been tricked by his imperial brother, would he not have done such a thing to Hualou, would Hualou not have been pregnant?Wouldn't she have the pain of losing a child?
What Donghe said is not wrong, everything is because of him, if he hadn't fallen in love with her, he wouldn't have been caught by the emperor brother who took advantage of the gap, if he hadn't fallen in love with her, Donghe wouldn't have been so vengeful against her she!

Her pain, her pain, her resentment, her hatred!
In fact, it was all because of him.

That night, at the beginning, it was just dark clouds, but in the end it was raining heavily.

The painting building is sitting in the corridor outside the Xunfeng Hall, the palace lantern hanging on the turret is shaking under the strong wind, while the painting building is watching the raindrops hitting the stone slab in a daze.

Ru Yang came out with her cloak, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house."

Hua Lou looked back at Ru Yang slowly, and said, "You go to sleep with Ru Xue first, I can't sleep, it's good for Ah Jiu to stay with me."

Because Ru Xue is afraid of lightning and thunder in rainy days, Ru Yang must accompany her, and Hua Lou also wants to be alone.

Ru Yang nodded, put a cloak on the painting building, and then turned to enter the room.

Ru Yang went back to the room, and Ah Jiu slowly sat beside Hualou. She didn't speak, and neither did Hualou.

Just like that, the two of them sat there quietly, looking at the night, listening to the sound of rain, a bright lightning flashed by, and the face of that person was pale.

"Sister, summer is here." Ah Jiu said in a cool tone, Hualou was slightly dazed, looked sideways at her and said: "The sun will be very warm, but the heart won't be warm."

"If you live a new life, sister shouldn't keep remembering the past, it will make you unhappy. I lost everything in the previous life. Do I have to lose everything in this life for the previous life?" Ah Jiu is right, isn't it? Do you still have to pay?But how can it be so easy to let go?

Hualou smiled wryly: "I think this life is only for myself, but Jiu'er, I see them all very well, why can they live so peacefully after doing such a thing? I think I'm really worthless, I often wake up in a dream in the middle of the night, and after waking up, looking at everything in the Xanfeng Palace, I remember in a daze that I am no longer the princess I used to be, and I am not called Shen Hualou!"

Hearing Hualou's words, Ah Jiu frowned deeply, feeling distressed.

"Jiu'er, every time at that time, I feel very sad, I just can't let it go in my heart, I just can't be reconciled!"

The thunder was rolling, and the sound of raindrops never stopped. As Hualou talked, tears slowly rolled down from the corners of his eyes. They all talked about the past, Hualou was crying, Donghe was in pain, Donghua was in pain!
No one is better than anyone else!
"Sister, it took me countless years to alleviate the hatred. When there was no hatred in my heart, what came to me was endless loneliness. Sister, do you think that one day they will all die? , will you be happy?" Ah Jiu looked at the painting building and asked slowly.

It's not that she doesn't support Hualou's revenge, it's just that compared to those hatreds, she wants Hualou to be happy, the real happiness.

Hua Lou looked at her with a wry smile: "I don't know, but I know very well that I won't be really happy if they are alive!"

"Since that's the case, then sister can just do what she wants." Ah Jiu said slowly, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.

With such a heavy rain, the whole place was surrounded by silence, and the palace was so quiet that even the cries of frogs in the lotus pond could not be heard.

Hualou remembered that day, the day Donghe ascended the throne.

And the people who remembered that day were not only Hualou, but also Donghe, Shen Qingqiang, and Zixiang standing at the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Her skirt was thin, and she stood there quietly. Aunt He looked at her standing there, and she didn't know how to rest in the room, so she walked gently behind her and said softly: "Girl, it's late at night, go back to the room to rest. Bar."

Zi Xiang didn't speak, but replied slowly: "Your Majesty hasn't come back yet."

Aunt He stood there for a long while, thought for a while before saying: "Your Majesty won't be coming back today, the girl should rest earlier."

Zi Xiang curled her lips slightly, her eyes were full of sadness, she slowly turned to look at Aunt He and said, "The torrential rain came so fast tonight, just like the day your Majesty ascended the throne."

Aunt He is not a talkative person, looking at the master in front of her, she will not answer any words for a while.

She said softly: "Aunt He has been in the palace for a long time, I believe she will remember the scene of that day very clearly."

"Yes, servant girl still remembers."

"But it must not be as deep as I remember." After she finished speaking lightly, she didn't say anything else. It was only after a while that she turned and looked at Aunt He and said, "I don't know if Concubine Hui has gone to bed at this time?"

"It's raining tonight, so it probably has already stopped." Aunt He said calmly.

Zi Xiang frowned slightly, then picked up the oil-paper umbrella standing at the door, and was about to go out when Aunt He called out from behind: "Girl, it's raining heavily outside."

"I'm going to Xunfeng Hall. Aunt He should rest early." After she finished speaking, her figure disappeared at the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Donghe and Li Qin were not here in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Of course, Aunt He wanted to serve her. Well, this master, so I can only follow and chase after him.

Hualou and Ah Jiu were talking about those past events, and their hearts ached, but they faintly saw the figure running under the faint light, and it was only when Zixiang stood under the corridor that Hualou could see clearly that it was she.

Of course, Hualou did not expect that Zixiang would go to Xunfeng Palace to look for her at this time, maybe it was because of the rain.

Hualou sat there quietly, watching her put away the paper umbrella and stood in the corner, and walked over slowly. Before she reached the painting building, Aunt He followed her.

Zi Xiang looked at Hua Lou and Ah Jiu sitting in the corridor, and said slowly: "I just want to come here to try my luck and see if Concubine Hui hasn't rested yet."

"Lightning and thunder, and the sound of rain is so loud, how can I sleep." Hualou looked at Zixiang and said slowly.

Looking at Zixiang who came running in the heavy rain, Hualou's mind gradually sank.

Sitting together under the corridor, listening to the sound of rain and the cold wind blowing, it seems that we will not feel cold.

Hualou looked at Zixiang, and asked in a deep voice: "Miss Shen came to see me so late for something?"

"Nothing special, it's just that the rain was too heavy tonight, and His Majesty didn't come back. I just heard that His Majesty went out from Concubine Hui in the early morning, but after leaving here, he never came back to raise his heart." It's time." Zi Xiang just said calmly, without too much emotion.

Hua Lou frowned slightly, as if smelling: "Then Fourth Miss Shen came to me to ask about the emperor's news?"

Before Zixiang could reply, Hualou continued, "If that's the case, then Miss Shen is asking the wrong person. She should go to Jingyang Palace to ask. After all, the emperor rested in Jingyang Palace last night."

Zi Xiang looked at the painting building and was smiling, she really couldn't figure out what benefits Donghe favored Shen Qingqiang for her?
In this palace, she was used to fighting for favor and beauty, but this Concubine Hui, why did she push Donghe to Shen Qingqiang's side.

"I don't know."

"Don't understand what?" Hualou asked.

"I don't understand what benefit the emperor favors Shen Qingqiang to Concubine Hui?" After Zi Xiang finished speaking slowly, Hualou suppressed her smile slightly.

Hualou looked at Zixiang and said in a deep voice, "Miss Shen, it's not doing me any good."

Zixiang was silent, Hualou also looked at her and said slowly: "Miss Shen doesn't understand, just like I don't understand, what kind of mentality does Miss Shen have to be able to forgive the emperor? Is it because you love him? It's just I think you have paid too much for loving him, isn't it enough?"

Hualou stared blankly at Zixiang, not allowing her to dodge.

Zi Xiang looked at the painting building and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Hui Concubine, I can only say that the person I hate the most is Shen Qingqiang. I don't care what the world thinks about my feelings for Donghe."

Hualou looked at her evasive answer and didn't force her to ask, but just looked outside and sighed softly.

Zixiang looked at Hualou, and she had an urge to have a heart-to-heart talk with this woman, and then join forces, but when she looked into Hualou's eyes, she always had the feeling of seeing through everything. That strong thought gradually disappeared from the bottom of my heart.

She didn't dare to place such a big bet in exchange for this woman's cooperation.

Originally, she wanted to do this when she came here tonight, but now she suddenly lost her courage.

Hualou looked into her eyes and asked slowly: "Miss Shen, do you want to talk to me?"

"Concubine Hui, has anyone told you that your eyes are special?" After Zixiang finished speaking, Hualou laughed: "I really don't have this, but too many people say that I look like you."

Zi Xiang smiled wryly: "Even I don't look like myself anymore, it's hard for them to remember what Shen Hualou used to be like."

"Perhaps memory can be deceiving." Hualou said.

"Maybe, but they don't know."

Perhaps it was really because of this heavy rain that brought up too many past events, which touched the hearts of those who witnessed everything that year.

Therefore, Zixiang tonight is not so impetuous, looking at her with a touch of melancholy and sadness.

"I heard that you did not participate in the day when His Majesty ascended the throne." Hualou looked at her and said calmly.

"No."

"why are you not going?"

"Actually, the reasons at that time are no longer important. Even if they said they wanted to go at that time, they would have countless reasons to persuade them to stay." Zi Xiang said lightly, and Hualou hooked her lips into a shallow smile, which was so thin and cold. It pierced people's hearts.

Hualou didn't speak, because the facts themselves were just like what Zixiang said.

After a long, long time, Zi Xiang said slowly: "Actually, I came to see Concubine Hui tonight, just because of the heavy rain, Dong He was not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and I felt that my heart was blocked in that empty palace alone. Panic."

Hualou listened to her words and asked, "Is it because he is not here, or is it because this rainstorm is like that day?"

"Because of the rain." Zi Xiang replied.

Hua Lou looked at her and said slowly: "I can't sleep either, so it's just a matter of time for us to sit together and chat."

This was the most peaceful and harmonious night between Hualou and Zixiang, all because of the past.

Ru Yang came out after coaxing Ru Xue to sleep, Hualou asked her to pour some tea and brought it out.

It happened that Ru Yang, Hualou, Ah Jiu and Zi Xiang sat together quietly.

Zixiang looked at Ah Jiu and Ru Yang beside her, recalled some past events in a daze, then looked at Hualou and said, "You are very similar to an old friend I know."

"They all say I look like you." Hualou replied.

In fact, when Zixiang looked at this face, she was always conflicted in her heart, and she couldn't be innocent, and Hualou knew everything, so Zixiang couldn't keep up with many words she said.

"You look like Shen Hualou who has never died once." Zi Xiang said.

After a long silence, Zi Xiang suddenly said, "Suddenly I really want to go back to the Prince's Mansion."

"Sad place, what are you going back to do?" Hualou's words were a bit cold and uncomfortable.

"I just want to see if the two words written that day are still there, and I want to put them away." After Zixiang finished speaking, Hualou remembered the two words she wrote that day, Kuang Fu!

Everything was for him, and what did he give her?
"What words are written?"

"Kuang Fu!"

"First to rectify, then to assist! Is that what you mean?" After Hualou finished speaking, Zixiang smiled slightly. In fact, she just wanted to use Shen Hualou's body to do something for her within her power. That's all.

The torrential rain didn't stop all night, and the Xunfeng Palace kept talking. Since you didn't know what you were talking about, after Zi Xiang left, Ah Jiu looked at the painting building slowly and said, "Ah Why did sister keep her?"

Listening to Ah Jiu's question, Hua Lou said slowly, "I don't know, maybe it's because I think I don't give her enough."

"Sister, you really are."

Hualou smiled slightly: "She won't do anything to me for the time being, and besides, it's impossible for her to join hands with Shen Qingqiang, it doesn't matter."

Later, Ru Yang took a blanket and covered the painting building. She fell asleep in the corridor while sitting. She had a dream. In the dream, a little boy stood under the palace lantern at the end of the corridor and called her mother. Honey, I'm cold.

The dream was as clear as reality, and she quickly chased after her, but when she reached the end of the corridor, the child suddenly turned into Donghua's face, with a vicious and determined look, pinching her The neck made her die again!
Hualou woke up suddenly, and saw Ah Jiu standing aside and said worriedly: "Sister, why did you fall asleep so quickly, we just went to get a midnight snack."

"Did anyone come here just now?" Hua Lou asked.

"No one came." Ah Jiu shook her head, only to see Ru Yang walking over slowly carrying wontons.

Hualou didn't talk about that dream, but she couldn't figure out what this had to do with Donghua?
At this time, the princess, there were no palace lanterns in the corridor, and Li Qin and Lu Yi were quietly guarding outside Donghe's house, not daring to leave if they didn't go in, for fear that Donghe would have any accidents.

Donghe was lying on the bed, his mind kept echoing the words Hualou said that day, Donghe, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely make you pay with blood, the country is unstable!

His mind always echoed the embarrassment of her crawling in the muddy water, because she couldn't stand up, even if the ground was a sharp sword, she could only sit, let alone the muddy water, the heavy rain that day, her hair, Clothes are all wet.

Blood debts are paid in blood, and the country is unstable!Shen Hualou, your heart is too soft, you won't, you won't!
Donghe always thinks like this, but the more he thinks about it, the more his heart hurts, the more it hurts.

He opened the door and came out, Lu Yi and Li Qin were still standing, only to hear him say in a cold voice: "Don't follow me!"

Lu Yi and the others stood where they were, without moving a step forward.

Donghe walked past the crown princess, and then rushed back to the palace from the crown princess.

Ru Yang said that she knew how to make wontons, and Hualou also liked them, so she wanted to make them for supper, but she didn't expect that Hualou fell asleep after leaving for a while, and had such a strange dream, thinking of that dream, thinking of that child The painter felt that there was always a pair of eyes staring at her tightly in the dark night.

After a few mouthfuls, she couldn't eat any more.

Sitting quietly on the bench, Hualou thought about what Donghe said to give her a ride, and she should also give Donghe a ride.

Ru Yang and Ah Jiu are behind, Hua Lou asked them to rest, she wants to be alone.

At the beginning, she couldn't help it, but she went into the house to rest later. She looked at the dim palace lantern, and tears flowed down slowly.

At this time, Donghe stood in the dark night, looking at the painting building under the corridor, and murmured: "You will never be able to be so vicious. Since you can't, then I will help you."
