The beauty
died with a beautiful face: I still remember that the emperor came back
with a woman who was eight times like the emperor’s sister-in-law when
he was in love with thrush. This woman was me.
I was born to be a queen.
The Sheng family has trained me for so long, teaching me piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, dressing up, in order to send me to that supreme position.
Under their careful arrangement, I froze for seven days in succession by the lake, and finally waited for Your Majesty’s big fish.
It was a chilly spring season, and the weather was actually a little cold.
I wore a smoky purple dress and played a song “Picking Wei” by the lake. When the bullet was
over, he was shivering with cold, but he got the person he wanted to wait for.
His dress was very noble, his body was somewhat oppressed by the superior, and his eyes always looked at people with scrutiny.
But the sharp eyes looked at me with nostalgia, as if we were old friends who had met again after a long separation. “What’s your name?”
He asked softly. “My daughter is like the moon,”
I said, with a hint of timidity between my eyebrows. Then he looked up at him a
little.
I could see a flash of surprise in his eyes, whether it was my name or my face. He did not say much
that day, but the decree came quickly. The father-in-law who
announced the decree smiled flatteringly and said, “Miss, you are an imperial concubine in the palace. You will have great luck in the future.”
I smiled kindly and ordered my servants to reward me with a lot of gold and silver.
Soon it was the day to enter the palace. My husband was the most honorable person in the world. He gave me the supreme honor and favor, so that everyone in the world knew that he loved the imperial concubine very much.
On the second day after the favor, he gave me a title-Si.
What a meaningful title! It’s not hard to imagine that he shouted someone else’s name on our wedding night.
Because I look like his favorite woman, his sister-in-law Gu Mingyue. Although
I was born a few years later, I have heard the name of Gu Mingyue.
She was the most famous beauty in the Southern Dynasties. At the age of 18, she married Murong Shu, who was the king of Chu at that time.
After their marriage, they sang harmoniously, which is also a good story.
It’s a pity that since ancient times, many beauties have been unlucky. Gu Mingyue passed away less than a year after Your Majesty ascended the throne.
The Sheng family took a lot of trouble to find out about the love-hate entanglement between the three people.
This is Your Majesty’s private past, and it is natural to make some efforts to make use of it. The
Sheng family searched and finally picked me.
This is a cliche story of Aster and Aster. Your Majesty really took a fancy to me at a glance.
And as long as I obediently do Gu Mingyue’s substitute, I will enjoy endless splendor and wealth.
After all, if I didn’t look like Gu Mingyue, I would have been sold to the land of fireworks.
Now she has become an imperial concubine, which can be said to be a sparrow turning into a phoenix.
Your Majesty favored me for seven days in a row, and finally turned over someone else’s brand.
It was a dark and windy night, and I sneaked into the cold palace.
I’m going to meet Gu Mingyue, who is already “dead.”. The
palace has been in disrepair for a long time, which reminds me of the days when I was a child without enough food and clothing.
It turned out that the palace was so resplendent in gold and jade, and there was such a desolate place in the invisible corner.
I stepped into the courtyard, and before I had gone two steps, I saw a woman loosening the soil for the garden.
Her expression was very attentive, as if the flower was a rare treasure.
My arrival apparently interrupted her pleasure, and she turned her head sideways, but there was no surprise in her eyes.
But I am a little absent-minded, because we are really very similar, but so different.
She only wore a very ordinary dress, she didn’t even have any jewelry all over her body, and even her hair was just pulled back with a piece of cloth.
But even so, I still think she is much better looking than me.
It’s like the fake is dwarfed by the real one, and I forgot to speak. “After all these years, how come his vision is still the same?”
She sighed. There was even some regret in the
tone, as if it was a very regrettable thing.
I finally took back my absence, changed my face into a look of indifference, and smiled somewhat casually: “I came here today because I want to borrow something from my sister.”
Gu Mingyue ignored me.
She probably thought I was a madman, but I grabbed her by the arm, my eyes full of madness: “I want to borrow my sister’s life, I think my sister won’t mind.”
We look so similar that no one can tell who is Gu Mingyue. As long as
I kill her and take her place as Your Majesty’s white moonlight, I will be able to sit on the throne of the queen immediately.
Who wants to be a fake all his life? I went to the palace in order to replace her identity.
I put the dagger on Gu Mingyue’s neck, but she actually smiled, as if she was relieved: “Well, I would like to thank you for sending me to reunite with him.”
I was only one step away from success, but the door of the cold palace was kicked open.
A figure staggered in. He pushed me away. With great strength, I fell down and sat on the ground.
But he didn’t look at me at all. He just hugged Gu Mingyue and said anxiously, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”
It was the first time I had seen Your Majesty in such a hurry, and I already knew in my heart that the event was not good, and I could not help but be frightened in my tone: “Your Majesty!”! Listen to my explanation..
He gave me a condescending look, as if he were looking at a dead man. “The Sheng family has taught you so much, but why did they forget to teach you what I mean?”
I knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, but his eyes stayed on Gu Mingyue and did not give me half a point.
A bodyguard grabbed me by the arm, and I struggled to break free. I finally ran into a piece of his clothes and said, “Your Majesty, I am very sincere to you!”
He suddenly reached out and pinched my chin. He looked at my face carefully. “You’ve come up with a good idea for me, imperial concubine.”
Only half a month later, I fell down from the sky. Your Majesty’s good idea was to exchange my identity with Gu Mingyue and let her be the imperial concubine.
He tried his best to give Gu Mingyue a suitable identity. I really gave a pillow to a sleepy person, which was exactly what I wanted.
Not only did he lose his splendor and wealth, but he was afraid that his life would be in danger.
Chu princess is already a dead person, replace her identity I naturally also can’t live, now the reason can still linger on in this world, just because Gu Mingyue does not cooperate. I’m ashamed to
say that I tried to kill her, but she tried her best to save my life.
That night, Gu Mingyue came to see me specially, and his tone revealed helplessness: “You will leave the palace tomorrow, and he promised to let you go.”
Your Majesty’s concession is conditional, as I know in my heart.
I just didn’t expect that Gu Mingyue would sacrifice herself for someone she had never met before. I suddenly understood why the young man was deeply in love with her: “I must die, but I want you to die for me.”
This is the real purpose of my entering the palace. I pretended to kill her and stole a living person out of the palace in order to repay the childe’s kindness to me.
I just didn’t expect to be destroyed by the emperor, but now I have a chance. I
took off the hairpin I was carrying, and there was a pill hidden in it: “After you take this medicine, you will lose all breath. You will wake up after three days. Someone will pick you up and leave. He has been waiting for you.” Along
with the pills, I gave her a jade pendant, which I took secretly before I left the childe.
I once heard the story of this jade pendant told by the drunken childe, which was a token of love between him and Gu Mingyue.
As long as Gu Mingyue sees this jade pendant, she will believe me. There were already tears in
Gu Mingyue’s eyes. She looked at me in disbelief: “Is he still alive?”
I nodded. “Now is not the time to speak. When you leave the palace, he will explain to you in detail.”
I changed clothes with her and then left the prison in a grand manner.
No one noticed that we had become each other, not even His Majesty, who was deeply in love with Gu Mingyue.
He looked at me with more attachment and love in his eyes, which had never happened before.
He stroked my face and said, “Moon, I’ve been waiting for this day for many years.”
“I will give you anything you want.” There was even a hint of ingratiation in his tone: “I only did one thing wrong, but I have been punished.”
“Over the years, I have never had a moment without regret.”
“I regret having given you to Murong Shu.”
“But it’s not too late. We can start over.”
The original ten thousand people above your majesty in the face of the people you like will become so humble, I suddenly some envy Gu Mingyue. “If I could go back to the past, you would still make the same choice,”
I said, imitating Gu Mingyue’s tone, with a somewhat indifferent expression.
I don’t know the past between them, but I know your majesty well enough.
He loves Gu Mingyue, but he loves power and status more. The
moment he said this, His Majesty overturned the teacup on the table. He became hysterical and said, “I won’t!”
But he just left the palace in a hurry, not daring to look me in the eye all the time.
I know the reason, it is because Your Majesty is afraid that I will see through the cowardice in his heart, and the weakness in the cover of rage.
Sheng Ruyue died quietly in the palace.
His Majesty did not even frown when he heard of her death, as if the woman had never appeared in his life. There was coolness in
his bones, but Gu Mingyue was an accident.
I knew that Sheng Ruyue’s body would be sent to the mass grave, just like the dead eunuchs in the palace, without a tombstone belonging to them. When
she was carried out, I peeked at her. She was wrapped in a straw mat and felt very desolate.
This should have been my ending. I had mixed feelings in my heart. As soon as I looked back, I saw Your Majesty.
His eyes are still so gentle: “If you want, why don’t you go to see her off for the last time?”
I didn’t answer because I was afraid.
Afraid that he found something, obviously his eyes are still full of love, but I have some guilty conscience.
Your Majesty took me by the hand and said, “I know you are the kindest person. You must be very reluctant to part with her. I wanted to let her live, but who knew she would take things so hard.”
He seemed to be afraid that I thought he was a cold-blooded and heartless man, and even explained so much to me. He took my hand and walked forward step by step, and then reached out and pressed me on the sedan. At the moment when the
curtain fell, I seemed to see his smile, which was a little strange and made me feel a little uneasy.
I was carried for a long time, and finally someone lifted the curtain for me.
This place is very desolate, occasionally a few wild cats pass by, and the crows on the dead branches have been crying sadly.
His Majesty was standing right behind me. He put his arm around my waist and said something that made me shudder: “Imperial Concubine, I called you here because I want to watch a good show with you.”
He changed his name, and I probably knew I had made a mistake. “
I don’t know what you’re talking about, and I don’t know what you’re crazy about,” he said.
This is the tone of Gu Mingyue when he spoke to him, and I learned it vividly. As soon as
the voice fell, he felt a burning pain on his face.
He gave me a direct slap in the face: “You play me between applause, this account I will slowly settle with you later!”
“I’d like to see who the master behind you is, who dares to play this trick of stealing a dragon for a phoenix.”
My heart is indeed a little worried, if the childe saw the signal I left, will appear in person.
He cared so much about Gu Mingyue that he was afraid to do such a big thing in person.
We waited from dawn until dark, but there was still no one near the mass grave.
I even wondered if I had made a mistake in passing the message so that there was no movement at all.
His Majesty’s face sank like water, and finally ordered Gu Mingyue to be carried back. The environment
here is indeed some bad, Gu Mingyue lay in the dead pile for a long time, he looked at the heart can not bear.
Although I refused to admit it, your majesty decided that I was a fake, and I have to say that he still has some ability to see the golden eye.
Every time I look at Gu Mingyue’s face, even I am in a trance.
We are like looking in a mirror, but Your Majesty can easily tell the difference between us.
I committed the great crime of deceiving the king, but Your Majesty did not deal with me, but told me to take good care of Gu Mingyue.
Before she left, she did not forget to leave a sentence that if anything happened to her, I would be the only one to ask.
I know in my heart that your majesty keeps my life not because of any pity, but because there are other uses.
I looked at Gu Mingyue for two days without taking off my clothes. On the morning of the third day, she woke up leisurely. When she woke up, her eyes were somewhat confused: “Where am I?”.
I could only tell her the cruel truth: “Our plot was discovered by Your Majesty, and you failed to go.”
Gu Mingyue sat up from the bed and looked at me with an apologetic look in her eyes: “I really feel a little sorry for dragging you in.”
Although I have never had a close friendship with her, she was willing to sacrifice her life to save me. I have always had a clear sense of gratitude and resentment. At this moment, I will never complain: “I underestimated your majesty, which made the situation like this.” Instead,
Gu Mingyue comforted me: “Your Majesty has always been good at playing pig and eating tiger. I’m afraid you’re no match for him in this respect.”
For this point I have also heard one or two, there is a rumor among the people, the first emperor was originally the king of Chu, but the final succession is your majesty. There must be some twists and turns in
this, and thinking of what His Majesty said when he was furious that day, he suddenly wanted to know what had happened that year.
“What is the story between you and the King of Chu and Your Majesty today?”
Gu Mingyue seemed to be lost in memories. After a long time, she suddenly opened her mouth and said, “Actually, the first thing I fell in love with was Murong Banquet.”
Murong Banquet is the name of Your Majesty today.
At that time, she was the noblest princess in the Southern Dynasty, while Murong Yan was the unloved prince in the Northern Dynasty.
His birth mother died early, and he had no sense of existence among the many princes of the late emperor.
It was not until the northern and southern Dynasties negotiated peace that he was sent to the southern Dynasty as a proton by the late emperor. Although
the Southern Dynasties were treated with courtesy, the situation in a foreign country was not much better.
Until I met Gu Mingyue. On the Lantern Festival
that year, the two of them took a fancy to the same lantern and competed with each other for an hour before winning or losing.
Gu Mingyue won the game, but left his heart there.
Later, I learned that Murong Banquet was a prince of the Northern Dynasty and lived in a palace not far from the palace.
Gu Mingyue often went to the palace to look for him.
At first, he did not want to be too close to the noble princess, but thanks to Gu Mingyue’s perseverance, their relationship has made some progress.
In this way, it can be regarded as the real meaning of childhood sweethearts, but because of their identity, no one dares to pierce this layer of window paper. It
was not until Murong Banquet left the Southern Dynasty that he realized that there were many inseparable feelings in his heart.
He gave Gu Mingyue the bracelet left by his mother and promised to marry her as a princess.
For this promise, Gu Mingyue refused many marriages. In the
Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was no precedent for marriage, but after Murong Banquet left the Southern Dynasties, there was no news at all, and Gu Mingyue grew up to eighteen years old.
This year, Rouran suddenly invaded the border of the Southern Dynasty. At that time, all the elite troops of the Southern Dynasty were concentrated in the southeast region. The Northwest Army was short of food and horses, and was losing ground.
Military newspaper snowflakes fly to the court, but there are still Qiang in the southeast region, now the best way is to borrow troops from the north. One of the conditions put forward by the
Northern Dynasty was the marriage of the princess, but the marriage was not Murong Banquet, but Murong Shu.
Hearing the news, Gu Mingyue closed the door and cried loudly, and then put on the wedding clothes with a dead heart.
She is a princess, born to enjoy the worship of all the people, and naturally she should make sacrifices for her subjects. Her marriage is actually a political affair, and she can never help herself. The wedding procession sent by the
Northern Dynasty was huge, and she saw the familiar face in the procession.
Murong banquet is actually responsible for the envoy, Gu Mingyue never dreamed that when they meet again, it will be such a scene.
She was dressed in a phoenix crown and rosy clouds, while he was dressed in a wedding dress.
These luxurious clothes are like the Milky Way between them, trapping them in the shackles of identity, and no one can get rid of them.
She took him by the hand and got into the sedan chair. Just before the curtain fell, she suddenly asked, “Why not you?”
Murong Yan froze for a moment, but did not answer her question.
A tear fell on the back of his hand, like a broken pearl.
Which prince to marry the princess of the Southern Dynasty is a signal revealed by Your Majesty to the courtiers. As an unremarkable prince,
he naturally did not have this opportunity.
Now is not the time to show his talent, he can only hibernate first, can only watch the person he loves marry someone else. After
listening to this old story, I couldn’t help sighing with emotion: “He actually gave you to someone else with his own hands.”
Gu Mingyue just smiled indifferently: “He could fight for it, but when faced with the choice, he gave up me decisively.”
She shook her head again, as if mocking her innocence at the time: “I didn’t understand him at all at that time, but I had already handed over my heart foolishly.”
“You should know everything after that. I married Murong Shu.”
“He is really a very good person, and we have been in love for a long time, and we are determined to entrust our lives to each other.” In the past,
I only knew that she was deeply in love with her son, but I didn’t know that there was such a tortuous past among the three of them.
Now I can only sigh, “It seems that most things in this world are like this. If you make a mistake, you can’t go back. This is the fate of everyone after all.”
She did not speak, but his majesty appeared suddenly, and there was a pleasant look on his face. “If I had believed in these non-existent things, I would not be sitting in this seat today.” After saying this,
he took a closer look at our two faces. “They really look alike. No wonder he came up with such an idea.”
“I want to see how long he will hide.” He looked at me and said, “You have committed a capital crime by pretending to be a noble daughter of the Sheng family.”
“I know you’re doing this for your master, and now he’s the only one who can save you. I’m sure he won’t let you die.”
Hearing what he said, my heart was cold.
Childe is the most soft-hearted, your majesty with human life to catch him, afraid is a catch a accurate.
He saved my life at the beginning, perhaps because I looked somewhat similar to Gu Mingyue, but he also had good intentions, and then he did not regard me as a substitute for anyone.
Later, contacting the Sheng family was also my own willful act, which had nothing to do with the childe. The days in the
palace are long and boring, and Gu Mingyue and I have become friends who can talk about everything.
I used to learn a lot in order to be more like her.
But now Gu Mingyue is teaching me to be myself. She tells me that I don’t live for anyone, but for myself. On the day of
Dragon Boat Festival, I made a lot of cakes with her, which looked exquisite and delicious.
When the moon was on the branches, we drank a glass of wine to the moon.
I told her that without all this, what I would like to do most is to open a bakery and study all kinds of cakes to sell every day.
My mother is very skillful, can make a lot of delicious snacks, I inherited her craft, but only Gu Mingyue ate the cakes I made. The corners of
her mouth were still smudged with crumbs, and she reached out and patted me on the arm. “It will happen, it will happen.”
I looked at the moon in the sky, it looked a little dim, but there was still a trace of silver shining on Gu Mingyue’s bright and clean face.
She looked very beautiful, and there was a kind of indescribable tranquility and gentleness.
But it is such an indifferent person, in fact, there have been wanton years. The more
I pry, the more I regret.
Is your majesty personally destroyed once Gu Mingyue, the irony is that after everything has changed, he is actually desperately trying to save.
“Even if I can stay in this moment forever, I feel that I have no regrets in my life.” She spoke the truth
without noticing, but she patted me on the head and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. Your best days are ahead.”
14
When that day was over, we put all this trouble behind us for a while, and began to study the pattern of the pastry.
Gu Mingyue even taught me the special snacks of the Southern Dynasties. On that day, she used a lot of raw materials, but the finished product was full of strange colors.
I plucked up my courage to taste it, and a strange taste opened in my mouth.
She seemed to see my dilemma and reached for a piece to taste. Then she sighed, “It seems that I really don’t have the talent to cook, and the things I cook are always so unsatisfactory.”
“If I have a chance, I’ll ask the best dim sum master of the Southern Dynasty to make it for you, so as not to ruin the reputation of our dim sum of the Southern Dynasty.”
She joked with me like this, but I thought it was the most delicious snack I had ever eaten. Better
than a lot of dim sum chefs.
I smiled and said, “So I’m not inferior to you in everything. At least I’m really good at making snacks.” After
the Dragon Boat Festival, a great event finally took place in the capital, and the envoys of the Southern Dynasty were coming.
Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the two Dynasties have almost cut off contact. Now suddenly sent envoys north, I do not know why. Hanging
in the palace, that day dinner, your majesty called me to accompany around. When the envoys of
the Southern Dynasty entered the palace, Your Majesty whispered in my ear, “This is the regent of the Southern Dynasty, who is under one man and above ten thousand men. He has won the emperor’s trust.”
I looked at the man and forgot how to speak.
Yes, sir, I won’t admit my mistake. How did
he become the regent of the Southern Dynasty? There are many questions in my mind.
But the childe is calm and calm, as if he didn’t know me and your majesty.
By the end of the dinner, I felt my back was wet and I had no strength.
Your Majesty stepped back and asked me with a smile, “I haven’t seen you for many years. Are you still the same?”
I gritted my teeth and refused to speak. He didn’t seem to care about my answer. He just went on to say to himself, “He came this time because he got wind of it and wanted to take the moon away.”
“I can’t ignore the safety of the country for the sake of a woman, but I don’t want to lose the moon.”
“So..” He looked at me as if I were looking at a beautiful work of art. “I want to ask the imperial concubine a favor.” The envoys of
the Southern Dynasties came to the important people so openly and aboveboard that they naturally got some definite evidence.
For the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Your Majesty had to let people go.
Apart from these lovers, he is also the saint of all the people in the world, and he can’t ignore the country for the sake of a woman.
But if you hand over Gu Mingyue like this, your majesty will never be reconciled to it.
He wanted me to replace Gu Mingyue to return to the Southern Dynasty.
To me, this is really a good idea.
Go back to the Southern Dynasties to be a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and no longer need to be manipulated by others. Ten thousand steps
back, even if really make a mistake, childe will definitely not be difficult for me.
In the past, I would have agreed to this deal without blinking, because it would have done more good than harm to me.
But Gu Mingyue is so good to me that I really can’t bear to leave her here.
She should go back to the Southern Dynasty instead of being trapped in this prison.
I sat in front of the porch and felt a bitter taste in my throat.
Your Majesty never fights unprepared. He fed me a pill of poison. After
seven days, the envoys of the Southern Dynasty would leave. Someone in
the entourage will give me the antidote, and I will never be under his control again.
But if I have the courage to change my identity with Gu Mingyue and continue to stay in the palace, the only thing waiting for me will be the death of poison. There are many things in
this world worthy of my attachment, and I don’t want to die.
His Majesty finally agreed to the request of the envoys of the Southern Dynasty and let the princess leave the Northern Dynasty.
It’s just that the identity of the princess is a little awkward, so it’s not publicized. When it came time
to part, Gu Mingyue and I had a feeling of reluctance in our hearts. The day before we
parted, we sat together for a drink and talked a lot about the past. She was a little drunk
that night, holding my arm and whispering in my ear, “You’re the best person I’ve ever met.”
Am I really a good person?
Even I don’t know.
This matter is a calculation from the beginning, but to the end inexplicably a little more sincere.
I put medicine in her wine, and it was enough to get her out of the palace.
I finally chose to stay in this palace, heaven and earth, but no place is my home.
But Gu Mingyue has a home, she should go back to her own place.
It’s a pity that I can’t see her off for the last time in person. I can only stand in the dark and look at her secretly.
At the moment of seeing her, I seemed to see the tears in the childe’s eyes.
If they can stay together forever in the future, I will repay the childe’s kindness.
The childe hugged Gu Mingyue into the sedan chair and took a meaningful look in my direction.
He seemed to want to say something to me, but in the end he just made a distant salute.
He seemed to know that I was standing there, as if he was thanking me for my help.
I seem to think of the days when he taught me to write and draw. I was actually very stupid, but he was always so gentle.
He taught me how to write a word one stroke at a time, and I was lost in that tenderness.
But the way he looked at me was not as crazy as His Majesty. I knew that he had never regarded me as Gu Mingyue.
In his heart, Gu Mingyue is irreplaceable.
No one can become Gu Mingyue, and he will not fall in love with the second person.
I watched his figure walk farther and farther, feeling as if my heart was loose.
Then I turned around and looked at the heavy palace. It was a place that would swallow me up, but I stayed voluntarily.
From the day he saved me, Murong Shu set up a big game, and I was the most crucial chess piece in the game.
He wanted to make me a substitute for Gu Mingyue in order to save his beloved from the palace.
He can give up Jiangshan, but he can’t lose Gu Mingyue.
I have to say that he is really a good flag bearer.
He has never told me his purpose, but he has a way to make me surrender to him wholeheartedly. It is also a kind of skill to
make people willing to sacrifice. What
he said after drinking was all the things he wanted me to know.
And the day I left quietly, he knew it in his heart.
He knew that the time was ripe and that the Sheng family would do other things for him, and he just had to wait in the dark. I don’t know if there was any apology in the
parting salute he gave me.
For what he’s done to me all these years, for me, the innocent person who was involved in the game.
But it doesn’t matter anymore, because I’ve done what I want to do.
If everyone is born with a mission, then my mission has come to an end.
It’s time to leave.
After learning that it was I who was left behind, Your Majesty really went mad.
He knew that he had completely lost Gu Mingyue, so he could only vent his anger on me.
He looked at me with hate in his eyes, as if he was going to skin me for a cramp. “Imperial concubine, I won’t let you die like this.”
“I want you to know the consequences of betraying me.”
I was forced to feed the antidote, which was thousands of times more bitter than poison.
Your Majesty had a long iron chain cast and locked me in this bedroom.
The chain was really heavy, but in a few days my ankles were bloody.
However, the torture did not stop. His Majesty would often come over and go mad. He beat me black and blue all over my body, and then held me gently, as if holding a delicate piece of porcelain.
He said, “Moon, you belong to me, and I will never ask you to leave my side.”
I suddenly felt a little sorry for him, because he had lost Gu Mingyue, and even refused to lose my fake.
Although he knew that all this was false, he preferred to immerse himself in it.
In order to make this dream come true, he even cut a knife on my arm with his own hands. The
blood kept pouring out, and I almost suffocated with pain, but he laughed.
He said, “At the beginning, for my sake, your arm was injured and left a scar.”
“You are a high princess, but I am just an unloved prince. The distance between us is so far.”
“But you are still standing in front of me. There has never been another person in my life who has protected me like this.”
Since then, the wound on my arm has never been better.
He would always pull up a knife when the wound was about to heal, watching the fresh flesh and blood turn out, as if he was remembering himself and Gu Mingyue.
But I was really in pain, even wondering if I died like this, would he throw my body to the mass grave to feed the dogs, or would he bury me in the name of my beloved.
I suddenly wanted to know the answer, so at the moment he drew the knife, I bumped into it. I didn’t even feel pain
at that moment, I just felt relieved at last.
But I’m not dead.
This is an absurd farce, listen to the palace people who wait on me, even the Sheng family has been implicated, your majesty casually found a reason to deal with.
His Majesty played with the dagger as if he were playing with a toy. He smiled gently, but his words were cruel: “Imperial Concubine, guess who will be next?”
If he hadn’t threatened me with the palace people who waited on me in this palace, I would have been free.
The Sheng family may have only themselves to blame, but I can’t get innocent people killed in vain. I’ve been changed so much by Gu Mingyue.
Before I knew it, I had learned to think of others.
When I could hardly go on, there was a sudden flood in the palace. The
fire came very fast, and soon smoke billowed.
I kept coughing, but I was grateful to the man who set the fire.
Finally can be free, this life has always been involuntary, and now finally do not have to suffer. Before
the loss of consciousness, someone ran in from outside the door.
She moved quickly, and when she came in, she held me in her arms, as if she was afraid that I would disappear if I was late for a second.
But where can I go? I can’t go anywhere.
Her armor turned over with cold light, and her body was heavy with the smell of blood.
I grabbed her by the sleeve and said, “Don’t save me.”
She took my hand and said, “I won’t let you die.”
She cut off the chain that imprisoned me with her sword, fed me a pill, and carried me out of the palace. The fire
behind me soared into the sky, and on me was her cloak.
She clasped her hands as if she were holding something precious.
This may be an illusion, after all, I have never been cherished in my life.
The medicine seemed to have finally worked, and I saw Your Majesty coming from the light of the fire with a sword, like a crazy Yama.
He pointed in the distance and laughed wildly, then shouted that he had done nothing wrong.
I finally see the situation in front of me, I was rescued from the fire is Gu Mingyue, and behind your majesty is the childe led by thousands of horses.
But His Majesty didn’t seem to care about the army behind him. He just waved his sword and asked, “Why did you abandon me?”? And why do you want to be with him?
He turned around and asked, “Why aren’t you dead?”! Why are you better than me in everything?
“Your father dotes on you, and your ministers praise you. Even my beloved, you must snatch him away!”
“It was Grandfather Li who saved me. He changed the medicine you gave me and contacted my old team. That’s how I was saved.”
“My father wanted you to be emperor, but you have killed your brothers and failed to live up to his ardent expectations of you.”
The truth seemed cruel and hard for His Majesty to accept. In fact, he has already got the recognition he longed for in
this life, but he has been stubbornly trapped in the shadow, and even made many mistakes. Suddenly
he cried out, “I am right!”! I have never failed anyone in my life!
Then he cut his own throat in the fire with his sword, leaving only one corpse.
I wonder if at the last moment of his life, he will think of the years when he was in the Southern Dynasty.
He also cooked wine with his beloved Qingmei, but everything was burned by his ambition.
The turmoil ended with the death of his majesty, and his son ascended the throne.
I was in a coma for three months and even missed the New Year. It was not
until the next spring that I finally woke up.
I heard the palace people summoning the doctor, Gu Mingyue soon came to my side.
She changed her costume, and when she lowered her head, the tassels of her hairpin hung down, like the wind chimes I had seen when I was a child.
I managed a smile and touched her sleeve. “Don’t cry anymore. It’s over. Everything will be all right.”
These are the words she used to comfort me, and I always remember them in my heart.
But his beautiful eyes were full of sorrow: “Chun, you have suffered.”
My name is not Sheng Ruyue, my real name is Chuner, because I was born in a romantic spring of mountain flowers.
Her embrace is very warm, just like a sister.
I suddenly feel that I finally have a family in this world. It took me more than half a year to recover from my
injury. On the day when the injury was healed, Gu Mingyue said that she would give me a big gift. The
street was buzzing with people, and she took my hand and stopped slowly in front of a shop.
This newly opened pastry shop is a gift from Gu Mingyue.
She pointed to the sign and smiled happily: “I wrote it.”
I finally got my wish and became the proprietress of the pastry shop. All day long I was busy studying new pastries, and my life was simple and satisfying.
Gu Mingyue would always sneak out of the palace to take care of my business, and sometimes even learn how to make snacks from me.
Her cooking is still so-so, I’m afraid only the childe can eat it.
I used to regret that I had such a face, because if it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have experienced the following things.
But now I feel lucky, because if it wasn’t for this, I wouldn’t have met Gu Mingyue.
Although she makes a mess in the kitchen every time, I still look forward to her arrival.
Then I took in a little girl.
Her hands are also very skillful, just like me in those days.
I sent her to school, hoping that she would have a different life from me.
I heard that there were many stories about me and the queen in the capital, mostly saying that we became attached to each other because of cakes, perhaps because of this reason, my business has been very good.
Childe has never taken a concubine, and the story between him and the queen has always been a popular story among the people.
They later gave birth to a pair of twins, and they were very cute. Those of
us who have been locked in identity for half a lifetime have finally lived the life we want.
I am Gu Mingyue. On the night of the death of the
late emperor, the peaceful life of Murong Shu and I was completely broken. In fact,
he had no intention of the throne, but Murong Yan obviously did not think so. The eunuch who
delivered the decree brought Murong Shu to the palace. At the moment of parting, he said to me, “Wait for me.”
But he broke his promise, and what I saw in the palace was his cold body.
But I must live, so that there will be no more war between the North and the South. After the death of
my father, several of my elder brothers fought for the throne, and the national strength of the Southern Dynasty was not as good as before.
If Murong Yan decided to send troops at this moment, it would be a heavy blow to the Southern Dynasty. Before I
met Chuner, I thought I would spend my life like this.
But she suddenly came to me, the dagger in her hand was cold, but I saw different emotions in her eyes. At that time,
I had realized that her arrival would set off a storm in the palace again, but I did not think that she was sent by Murong Shu.
Murong Shu wanted to save me, but Murong Banquet was far more cunning than they imagined. Their plans failed again and again, which made my friendship with Chuner deeper.
She was really good, and if she hadn’t been involved in this conspiracy, her life might have been different. It
was for this reason that after I met Murong Shu again, we had a quarrel.
I never thought he would use someone like this.
It’s like becoming as terrible as Murong Banquet, and it’s no longer the gentle person I remember.
We can make up because of Chuner.
She said she should do this, not for the childe, but for me.
Chuner told me that her biological father died early, leaving only her mother to take her to live by making cakes.
At that time, the border of the Southern Dynasty was still stable, and their mother and daughter had a good life.
Until Rouran attacked, if the princess had not agreed to marry, she and her mother would have died in the war.
My decision saved their mother and son, and saved the people in the frontier of the Southern Dynasty. Naturally,
she should also save me, not to mention that Murong Shu and she did have the grace to save their lives.
In her heart, Murong Shu and I are her saviors.
It turned out that our fate had already begun at that time. As a princess of the Southern Dynasty, I should protect my own people.
And those who were protected by me tried their best to save me after a few years. When I was
two
or three years old, I was brought home by her. It
was very cold that day, and there was snow in the sky, like sugar sprinkled on glutinous rice cakes.
She is very beautiful, more beautiful than fairy I saw in the painting.
She handed me a sweet cake and asked me if I wanted to stay. So
I stayed with her. She taught me how to make delicious cakes. She sent me to school.
I read a lot of books and met my lover. It
was woven by the empress in the palace. It was covered with luxurious jewels. It was said that the best embroidery women in the manufacturing Bureau showed it for three months before it was finally completed.
Looking at the gorgeous robe, she and the empress both shed tears.
I heard her say, “The only regret I have in my life is that I have never worn a wedding dress.”
The empress, on the other hand, said, “I hope they will never have to go through what we have gone through.” The moment I covered
my head, I saw her shed tears.
I couldn’t help asking her, “Mother, do you regret that you never married?” But
she shook her head: “Mother just thinks the wedding dress is very beautiful, and she should wear it for herself once in her life.”
She is old, but she is still very beautiful.
She has never been married in her life, but she has always been very happy.
I have never heard her talk about her past, but I know that she must be an extraordinary woman.
Because she chose the path that most people dare not take, because she has never done anything against her heart. The day
I got married happened to be the day she met Gu Mingyue.
And their story has opened a new chapter.
