I am not born to be free and easy when
I remarry Wang Ye
, but I just don’t want to be entangled. I have been
Shen Yi for five years, and I have been drinking the decoction for five years.
The doctor said it would be difficult for me to get pregnant in the future. Biyun, the little servant girl who
followed me, defended me against injustice and said that I didn’t know how to think for myself. With a child, Wang Ye would not let me go in the future.
I looked indifferent. “What do you know? Wang Ye doesn’t like scheming women.”. Besides, I don’t want to give him a baby at all. When I
entered Sanwangfu, I had just died. That year, Shen Yi, the third prince, redeemed me from human traffickers. Kneeling in the snow,
I listened to Shen Yi’s promise to the old imperial concubine: “He Qing is just the outer room that my son has taken a fancy to. My son promises you that when I get tired of her, or when I get married, I will give her some money and send her away.”
But I have no resentment, because in addition to not being pregnant, my life in the palace is safe and carefree. There is no other woman around
Shen Yi, who treats me very gently and gives me the best food and clothing. Although the old toffee does not like me, but Shen Yi has promised not to give me status, will not let me be pregnant, he spoils a plaything, the old toffee can always turn a blind eye.
I have always lived happily day by day, not thinking about the future, and it is not up to me to decide whether to stay or not. After
five happy years, I almost forgot what he said at first. His marriage could not be delayed
until it was granted by God.
His fiancee is Qiao Baiyu, the daughter of Qiao Taifu.
Shen Yi’s marriage was imminent. He gave me a lot of silver tickets and gold and silver treasures and asked me to leave. I can’t make so much money
even if I’m the top player in the brothel. I’m too ***ing lucky to sleep with him for five years.
I said goodbye to Shen Yi gratefully.
At the gate of Sanwangfu, I met Qiao Baiyu.
She was obviously aware of my existence, and the woman’s intuition made me feel the hostility in her eyes.
This hostility makes my heart not so happy, anyway, I have to go, and finally vent the pressure in the bottom of my heart.
I pretended to be dissolute and said to Qiaobaiyu, “Oh, I really sympathize with you. I’m going to marry a man who is good-looking but useless.”. I have endured for five years to be free, but are you going to endure for the rest of your life the feeling of not being satisfied?
“You are a woman who has no shame to say such things in broad daylight.”
I covered my mouth and chuckled. “Sister, I’ve been there and I want to say a few words to you. Why are you so angry?”. Come on, forget it. I was happier after
arranging a few words of Shen Yi.
I swaggered into the carriage and left. The moment the
curtain was lowered, the smile on my face disappeared, and tears attacked my face in an instant.
Five years, Shen Yi, you really break it.
2.
I bought a big house in Luoan City and took in some homeless women to teach them how to read and make a living.
My handwriting was taught by Shen Yi holding my hand one stroke at a time.
Every time I lay out a pen and paper, my heart is always stuffy and painful. On the day of
his wedding, the wedding procession passed by my door, and I saw him in his wedding dress through the half-open window in the attic.
Not without pain, nor without complaint, but, can you get it by force? Can you stay with him if you are
hysterical? I
know I can’t. I might as well take what I can get.
Like money, like freedom, like dignity.
I am not entangled, not to pretend to be free and easy, but to retain my last dignity.
I heard that Shen Yicheng went to the frontier fortress to guard the city the next day. One of the women
I took in had been bullied by bad people and was pregnant. She gave birth to a baby boy and bled to death. I named this poor child Siyi. Little Siyi had seven mothers at birth. All the women in my house were his mothers.
He especially loves to be close to me. I am his aunt. When he was
five years old, he was playing outside and had a collision with a child. The father of the child slapped Siyi. I grabbed the stick and ran out.
Who the *** dares to bully my son He Qing!
As soon as I saw that it was the servant of Sanwangfu’s family, I stopped.
I don’t want to get in touch with the people of Sanwangfu. Holding back my breath,
I turned to go back to the house, but the evil slave blocked my way.
“Yo, isn’t this Ho Ching?”? Old acquaintances don’t say hello when they meet? There are many servants in the
palace. I have a good memory. I remember the appearance of most of the servants I have seen, but I don’t have the mind to know their names, so I don’t know the name of the servant.
I suppressed the anger in my heart and said, “Forgive me for my clumsy eyes. I didn’t recognize who you are. Please forgive me.” In return for
my forbearance, the servant became more and more serious. He stared at me without scruple, and his explicit eyes were disgusting.
Miss Ho Ching doesn’t remember me, but I’m haunted by Miss Ho Ching’s beautiful appearance. Now that Wang Yeh doesn’t want you, why don’t you follow me.. As
he spoke, he reached for his waist, and I slapped him with my backhand.
His face was cold and he jumped at me.
Little Siyi hit him on the back with a stick. After all, he was a child with little strength. The evil slave was just a little painful. He ignored little Siyi and still rushed over and grabbed my neck and dragged me into the back alley.
Little Siyi cried loudly, “Mother, you let go of my mother!”! You scoundrel! The sisters in the
house ran out and immediately came to beat the evil slaves.
The evil slave’s two fists are hard to defeat, and he is beaten by the sisters with a stick and a hammer. Still in shock,
I was helped into the house by my sisters and locked the gate.
I took it out and asked my sisters to hire some housekeepers to guard the house in case the evil slaves came to me again.
But from the day we met the evil slave, our peaceful life was disrupted. The voice of
Xiao Siyi’s mother brought him death.
The child was fond of playing and could not be locked up in the house. I told him not to take it to heart. He climbed the dog hole and went out to play with his friends. When we found that he was not at home, we looked around.
But it was too late. Goodbye, Xiao Siyi. He had become a cold corpse. A five-year-old
child! I don’t know how long I soaked in the moat on the outskirts of the city, and my body rose to the surface of the water and was found by fishermen.
His whole body was swollen, but I recognized him at a glance. After
raising him for five years, he has long been like my own son in my heart.
The body is like being Ling Chi, so painful that I can’t breathe. After the
grief and indignation, I gnashed my teeth and said to my sisters that in the year of sound, I, He Qing, must exhaust all my strength to seek justice for Xiao Siyi! The life of
a grass people, how can government be so dedicated to handling cases, can procrastinate. There is no hope to
rely on the Yamen.
I broke into the house of the wicked slave with a few guards. The house of the wicked slave was empty, and he had already fled.
Fortunately, I have money, and it’s easy to do things with money. I paid the bounty captor and finally found the evil slave. Under the interrogation of the bounty captor, he admitted that he talked about me and Xiao Siyi while chatting in the palace. He said that Xiao Siyi was the illegitimate son of Wang Ye and was heard by the third princess. It was the third princess, Qiao Baiyuan, who ordered him to kill Xiao Siyi.
The bounty captor brought the evil slave to the capital to testify. On the way, he was robbed and killed by a group of men in black. The bounty captor was wounded and fled to me, saying that the evil slave was dead. I
know who killed him, but I can’t prove it.
When I was at my wits’ end, Shen Yi came back.
Shen Yi garrisoned the frontier for five years with great military exploits. When he returned to the capital, the people lined the streets to greet him. I hid in the crowd and saw him wearing battle armor, majestic and dazzling.
In a trance, I remembered the way he had sighed in my ear: I was sent to the battlefield by my father when I was thirteen years old. I like to stand on the city wall and see thousands of miles of rivers and mountains at my feet. But after the emperor’s brother ascended the throne, he was so afraid of me that the Iron Horse Glacier could only be in a dream.
Now, he finally put on his armor again to defend his country and make contributions.
It is said that he asked himself to return to the court because he missed the princess. Otherwise, he could continue to render meritorious service.
Also, the second day of the wedding went to the border, how can there be no reason not to miss.
Besides, he was such a demanding man that when I was around him, he demanded almost every night and was tireless. The gate
of Sanwangfu was full of people, and Qiaobai stood in front of them looking forward to it.
She waited for her beloved to return.
Shen Yi dismounted, took Qiao Bai’s hand, and stepped into the palace. My
eyes were sour and I turned around slowly.
At night, when I was falling asleep, the door was suddenly pushed open. I sat up suddenly and saw Shen Yi coming in from the outside. He changed into casual clothes, with beautiful clothes and jade belts, like a young man stepping on the moon.
I was in a trance and couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or reality. I bit my finger and it hurt. Then I woke up completely. It wasn’t a dream.
Shen Yi came in so loudly that I was dissatisfied with the housekeeper I hired at a high price. It was really useless.
But on second thought, no matter how skillful the guards were, they were no match for the bodyguards trained by Shen Yi.
“Wang Yeh..”
“The house you bought is too far from the palace. It straddles more than half of the capital. It’s easy to find the king.” He was like a husband who had not been away from home for a long time, chatting in a gentle tone.
I didn’t know what he meant for a moment, so I didn’t say anything.
He walked over to my bed, took off his soap boots and lay down.
Thinking that he might have just got out of bed, I had the impulse to kick him out of bed.
But then I thought of Xiao Siyi, and I needed to rely on Shen Yi to get justice for Xiao Siyi.
I let Shen Yi hold me in his arms and listen to his heavy whisper, “I always miss you when I am at the border.”. Every time the king went to war, he was as free as an eagle, looking down on the world, and he had no love in his heart. Who would have thought that you would break the precedent.
I snorted. “The prince should have said that to the princess.”
He pinched my cheek. “How can I go back to the capital early if I don’t use the princess as an excuse?”
I still don’t believe that he will return to Beijing early for me. He has a deep heart and is not a person who puts his feelings first. I’m afraid he made too many contributions, and the sage was afraid again. He asked the sage to transfer him back to the capital on the grounds of missing the beautiful woman. What he knew best was to judge the hour and size up the situation.
When he took me to the palace, every night was absurd, not because he was infatuated with me, but to confuse the emperor, so that the emperor thought that he was addicted to women, nor was he a hero through the ages.
A person must have a weakness so that he will not be envied too much by others. This shortcoming can be harmless, but it must be there.
Shen Yi thought I was silly, but in fact I knew everything in my heart.
His body is still familiar with the faint fragrance of sandalwood, perhaps washed, I did not smell other Rouge perfume, but the boredom in my heart is still so strong, when he came to kiss me sideways, I pushed him away.
He clutched his chest and snorted, “Ching-er, don’t make a scene. My wound hasn’t healed yet.” Puzzled,
I saw him take off his brocade clothes and wear only a thin bedclothes, which were still stained with blood.
“This..”
He lay back down and said, “I was in a hurry to come back from the knife wound, but I didn’t wait for the wound to heal, so Ching-er..”
He hugged me again, his chest burning through his bedclothes. “Be good, Ching’er. I won’t do anything but kiss you.” As soon as
my heart softened, I stopped moving for fear of touching his wound.
He was injured for the sake of the common people. We can live a stable life, all guarded by the soldiers at the border. Leaving aside the love of children, he is still a hero I admire.
He kissed me carefully. I hadn’t seen him for five years. The feeling of whispering was both familiar and strange to me.
I hurriedly exclaimed, “Your wound..”
“Never mind.” The
more I live, the more I go back. I used to be his outer room. I have a bad reputation. At least I have an identity. What are we now, cheating? That’s the
only way to define it.
He came to my house in the middle of the night to make such a big noise. How could the sisters not hear it? The next day, I heard the sisters crying and realized that the door of their room was held by the guards with knives, and their souls were scared away.
Only Shen Yi can do this.
I comforted my sisters, don’t be afraid, it’s all right. When they
saw the red marks on my neck, they thought I had been forced by some dignitary, and their tears became more fierce.
“We beat the wicked slave away, but we can’t escape the great man now. My sister’s life is too bitter..”
I did not mention my past to my sister, which was not a glorious thing, nor a pleasant memory.
I want to avenge Xiao Siyi. It’s the daughter of the Taifu in the palace. I can’t involve my sisters.
I bought another house for them to live in.
Alas, I am so poor now that I only have silver left.
Think I need to remind Shen Yi, since take silver to send me the past five years, now come to me, is not to give another silver?
Shen Yi came over again, and after making out, I said, “Isn’t Wang Yeh forgetting that we had nothing to do with each other five years ago?”
He was still panting on top of me, his chest heaving with a low laugh, and he nibbled at my collarbone. Is there gas?
“Wang Yeh’s word is as good as nine tripods. Ching’er has been driven out of the palace. He is no longer Wang Yeh’s man.”
He bit me hard. “If you’re not my man, whose man are you?”
I hissed in pain and scratched his back. “I’m the future husband’s man!”! Wang Yeh has been gone for five years. If I marry someone else in those five years, can Wang Yeh still break into my house like this?
He pressed my rebellious hand. “I thought, you know.”
Understand what? Ching’er doesn’t understand. Ching’er doesn’t understand anything.
“You are the only one who dares to be so arrogant in front of me. I really spoil you.” Shen Yi got up to get dressed, and his tone was cold. “You know I’m not in the capital. No matter how many secret guards you send to protect you, there will be times when you don’t protect you well. I can only show that I have no nostalgia for you. I don’t care. On the contrary, no one comes to trouble you.”. As for getting married, if you do, it will really chill my heart, and I’ll just raise a white-eyed wolf..
I’m really angry.
I’m not coaxing.
He put on his clothes slowly, and when he saw that I had no intention of detaining him, he left with a black face.
Two days later, he came over and brought a lot of good things.
He meant to be nice, but I didn’t. I understand the truth that enough is enough.
I lay in his arms and he touched my face. “Is it my fault?”
“What?”
“Five years ago.”
“Weird.”
He smiled. “You are honest.”
“Ching’er has always been honest.”
I want to go to the battlefield. You are too dangerous in the palace. I can only pretend to drive you out. Including not to let you get pregnant, I will go to the battlefield sooner or later, the mountain is high and the road is far away, I am afraid that I can not protect you and the child. Brother Huang was afraid of me all the time. He married Qiao Taifu’s daughter to me and wanted to use Qiao’s family to contain me. If I disobeyed him and married Qiao Baiyu, Brother Huang would not let me return to the battlefield to render meritorious service. Ching-er is so clever, he must have thought of it.
I continued to play dumb. “There aren’t so many twists and turns in Ching’er’s mind.”
He hugged me even tighter. “Well, Ching-er doesn’t need to think too much. You just have to remember that no matter what I do, I will plan for you and take care of you.” There was a secret guard he left near the
house, and I was followed when I went out, and I knew all that.
I came to the grave of Xiao Siyi. The inscription on
the tombstone said that the eight characters of the birthday of He Qing’s son were not his, but fabricated.
I stroked the tombstone, and my mind was full of that little person. I said to him in my heart, “Wait until your mother has avenged you, and then carve a new tombstone.”. You must bear with it. Sure enough, Shen Yi came in the
night, and his face was terribly cloudy.
He clasped my arm and stared at me. “Did you bear a son to the king?”
I pulled my hand away and answered coldly, “No.”
His voice was cold. “Are you trying to lie to me? Where did you go during the day? I don’t know.”
I burst into tears. “People are all gone. Does Wang Yeh still want to poke my scar like this?”
His eyes softened and he held me in his arms. “I just hate you for letting him die without telling me!”
You are in the barracks. How can I tell you. Besides, you don’t want me to bear your child.
“That was to protect you, but now that you have a child, I won’t deny it.”
I was still crying in his arms. He clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. “I will never spare the murderer of our son,” he said. That’s what I’m
waiting for.
I said, “I want to be your concubine. I don’t want to follow you without a name.”
He hesitated for a long time and uttered one word, “Good.”
The three princesses stayed alone for five years, and the news that the three princes would take concubines as soon as they returned to Beijing spread from the court to the public.
Everyone was wondering what kind of seductive charm had confused the three princes in the battlefield, and there was no lack of contempt for the woman in their words.
Qiao Bai became a poor man.
Who knows? I’m the one who was abandoned.
Shen Yi’s bodyguard Luo Ji came to me and said that Shen Yi was rolling in front of the old toffee this time. He threatened the old toffee with a knife wound and refused to let the doctor change the dressing. The wound was festering and burning. He was still calling my name.
The old toffee invited me into the palace.
I didn’t expect that Shen Yi would do this for me.
My original plan, and did not really want to become Shen Yi’s concubine, just to force the palace that can not sit still, to me.
I used myself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole.
Five years later, I stepped into the palace again.
The old toffee’s face was very ugly, but she just looked at me and said, “Go in quickly. As long as you can make Yier better, you will be rewarded.”
When I walked into Shen Yi’s bedroom, Qiao Bai cried into tears beside his bed. When he saw me, his cold eyes cut me.
I ignored her eyes, and my mind was only on Shen Yi.
I turned to the old toffee and said, “Please, toffee, let the rest of the people leave, leaving only the doctor waiting outside the door.”
Qiao Bai’s face suddenly changed, and he looked at the old toffee and went out with the old toffee full of anger.
Princess, I was said to be a miscellaneous person, who can stand it?
I have always been charitable to women, and I think it is really not easy for women to live in the world.
The premise is that this woman has nothing to do with my man, even if there is a relationship, do not provoke me, I have no intention of harming people, but who harmed me, I will not let go. I looked carefully at the pale people on the bed when
they were all gone.
I took his hand and rubbed it on my face. “Are you stupid? Do you take everything I say seriously?”? What about your usual wisdom and courage?
Because of the fever, his palm was very hot, and the heat was like magma roasting my heart.
If one day he knows that I came back to him for something else, will he regret what he did for me today?
My tears flowed into his fingers. When
the doctor brought the medicine, I took a sip and held it in my mouth. I did not shy away from the presence of the doctor. I bent over his lips and crossed them into his mouth. After
watching him for two days and two nights, Wang Ye finally woke up.
His eyes were still tired, but when he saw me, his eyes were sunny and cheerful.
He called me, “Ching..” Come here..
I smiled and burst into tears of joy.
He doesn’t know that I married him yesterday.
The old toffee married us on the pretext of happiness.
But it was a rooster who worshipped me. The
marriage was done in a hurry, but the ceremony was done and the status was given.
Qiao Taifu is not good-looking, but Shen Yiren is still lying in bed, life and death is uncertain, marry a concubine Chongxi, at this time who is not appropriate to stop.
The emperor said to the old toffee, “I didn’t expect that the third brother is still an infatuated one.”
The old toffee burst into tears. “The royal doctor says that even if he wakes up this time, he’ll still be sick. He won’t be as vigorous as he used to be.”
The emperor was relieved. “The third brother is in good health. Don’t worry about the toffee.”
I told Shen Yi all about it. Shen Yi sighed faintly, “It’s a pity that I couldn’t worship with Qing Er in person. I didn’t see Qing Er wear red makeup with my own eyes and lift Qing Er’s red veil with my own hands.” When he
finished, he raised his eyes and smiled, “That’s all, as long as Ching’er is by my side..”
He let his wound fester and fall ill, not only to let me into the house, but also to prove to the emperor that his body was destroyed, that he could not return to the battlefield, and that there was no threat to the emperor. Every move
he has made in the past five years, or in his life, has been dangerous.
I am his pawn, and I can’t measure how much love he has for me.
He is careful step by step in the imperial power, I am also careful in the word of love, guarding my heart, dare not give him all, lest, later heartbreak. After
Shen Yi sobered up, the old toffee and Qiao Bai came to see him together. When I saw Shen Yi pretending to be weak, I knew how to cooperate with him in acting.
The old toffee told me to take good care of Shen Yi. As for the rest, she hesitated to speak. In front of Shen Yi
, Chiao Po-wan was impressively virtuous, gentle, and magnanimous. Holding my hand, she said with a smile, “We’ll be sisters from now on. My sister has worked hard to take care of Wang Yeh day and night. My sister doesn’t blame you for not inviting Ann to serve tea on the second day of your wedding. It’s still about Wang Yeh’s health.” There’s something in
this that implies that I don’t see her as a princess.
Shen Yi grew up in the palace, which can not be clear about the contest between women. There is no need to speak harshly, and it hurts people invisibly in gentle words.
Shen Yi intentionally protected me. “I have a terrible headache. Let Ching Er serve me and rest.”
The saint came up to see Shen Yi several times, and every time he came over, he brought precious medicinal materials and rare treasures to Shen Yi. In the eyes of
outsiders, the sages praise meritorious officials, and the sages respect their brothers and brothers.
In fact, the imperial physician brought by the emperor came to confirm Shen Yi’s illness.
The imperial physician reported to the emperor, “The three princes are too weak, and need to take tonic.”
Empty, can not be empty? I was so sick that I was in the middle of the night.
“It is better to die on you than to die at the hands of the Lord, and I will linger with you until I die.” I blushed at the
thought of his words on the bed.
I asked Shen Yi, “Are you willing?”
He raised his eyes and looked to the northwest. “There are no ever-victorious generals on the battlefield, but there are always generals who win battles. I am not a general, but I have trained soldiers who can fight.”. Do you know why I tried to go to war five years ago?
I shook my head. The foundation of the talented people
I have trained is not stable, and they have been suppressed by the newly appointed generals, and they will never come to the fore. The enemy had a good harvest that year and would certainly take this opportunity to attack our country. The new generals were not familiar with the enemy’s fighting style and refused to use our troops. There was no hope of victory. Defeat will be ceded to the city, countless casualties. I must return to the northwest battlefield, can’t live in vain, now the northwest army is mature, even if the emperor’s brother placed the generals in the five years of combat has been integrated into the northwest army, my mind down, also should be retired. If you continue, you will touch the bottom line of the emperor’s brother. One step forward is a cliff!
He paused and hugged me. “The military power has been returned to the emperor’s brother, but there is only one life left to linger on. If he wants to go, I..”
I put my hand over his mouth. “Don’t say anything unlucky.”
I stood up and kissed his Adam’s apple. I knew his dream was to stay in the frontier for a lifetime, not to get drunk in the gentle countryside. But that was all I could give him.
My defensive heart sank deeper.
In the palace, I paid attention to Qiao Bai everywhere. I pretended to be spoiled and arrogant. I contradicted her several times. On the surface, she was very tolerant.
I wanted to provoke her so that she could do something to me so that I could catch hold of it.
I even went out of the palace alone to give her a chance to do it.
I know Shen Yi’s secret guard is protecting me, and I’m not afraid of her.
But she was able to endure it without any movement.
Shen Yi sent someone to investigate the death of small Siyi, but also because the evil slave has long been silenced, like the results of my original investigation, here into a dead end.
That day, when I came back from the street, I heard the voice of Qiao Bai in Shen Yi’s room, crying, “Wang Ye, on the wedding night, you said you had a hidden disease and could not live.”. When you came back from the war, you said you were wounded and not suitable for sex. But you turned around and went to find He Qing. We are husband and wife, and I have never stopped you from taking a concubine, but you must give me a little love!
What, Shen Yi and Qiao Bai haven’t consummated their marriage yet?
Five years ago, when I left the palace, I was not good at arranging Shen Yi. Shen Yi used this reason to fool Qiao Bai on his wedding night.
My heart is sweet, which is based on the sadness of another woman, and makes me feel weak.
I didn’t want to meet Chiao Po-chien here. As I turned to leave, I heard Shen Yi’s tired voice saying, “Let’s leave.”
It is impossible to divorce with each other, but Qiao Baiyu doesn’t agree. Instead of looking for Shen Yi again,
she stayed in her courtyard all day to eat fast and pray to the Buddha. Shen Yi and
I seem to have returned to the days when I was the only woman around him five years ago.
No, it’s even worse than that. The consequence of
being too bored is that I’m pregnant.
Five years ago, when I drank too much of this soup, the doctor told me that I couldn’t conceive. I asked the doctor, “Didn’t you say I couldn’t conceive a child?”
The doctor said, “Maybe you haven’t drunk the soup again all these years, and your body is taking good care of yourself.”. However, you still have to be extremely careful. Your body is not like that of an ordinary woman. Your pulse is unstable, and you are prone to miscarriage.
I saw the doctor outside the palace.
I don’t trust the people in the palace.
I did not tell the news to Shen Yi, just Shen Yi accompanied the saint to go hunting, did not come back for three or five days.
The old imperial concubine called me and Qiao Bai to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to pray for blessings. She intended to make the wives and concubines in the palace harmonious and arranged for me and Qiao Bai to ride in the same carriage. The jolt of the
carriage made me dizzy and sick, and the thick smell of Rouge on Qiao Bai’s body made me nausea.
I covered my mouth with a veil and retched. “What’s the matter with my sister?”
Qiao Bai stared at me with probing eyes.
My eyes twinkled. “No, it’s nothing. Maybe I ate something bad.”
“Go back to the palace and let the doctor take a look at it. The prince isn’t here, so I should take care of my sister.”
I pretended to panic. “No, no.”
She became more suspicious, looked me up and down, and said nothing.
I deliberately asked my maid to bury the dregs of the tocolysis medicine in the backyard. The next day I went to check, and sure enough, there were traces of turning over the soil.
I sneered, and the fish took the bait.
She will certainly do it before Shen Yi comes back. This is her only chance, and my only chance.
I went to see my sisters and sent them supplies for the winter in advance.
In fact, the sisters can stand on their own feet. I just want them to live a better life.
“Just marry the right person.” I advised a sister.
The sisters embroidery and say, “No, I’m so happy to be with these sisters. What good is a man?” There was a faint smile on
my lips. Yes, what’s
good for a man to leave his sister? I went to see Xiao Siyi. Two guards followed me secretly.
As soon as I stepped into the woods, hidden arrows came from all sides, and two guards protected me in the middle.
These two are not only first-class masters, but also hard-working dead men. They wield their swords to knock down hidden arrows and protect me to death. Even if they are hit by arrows, they do not stop.
Moments later, I heard a dull hum in the forest. The man I arranged killed the man of Qiao Bai. “Leave a few people alive,”
I snapped.
I took the witness back to the palace and pointed out in front of the old toffee that Qiao Baiyuan had sent someone to assassinate me.
Shen Yi listened to my narration in the first place, and his look became more and more ugly.
Qiao Bai was trembling all over. Li’s face was twisted in a terrible way. She jumped at me. I was prepared. The dagger in my sleeve pierced her heart.
Rao is the old toffee used to see the storm, now can not help but exclaim. In the
chaos, Shen Yi came to me for the first time and protected me in his arms.
He spat blood at the mouth and looked at Shen Yi, laughing crazily. “If there is an afterlife..” I’d rather.. The spring feast 16 years ago.. Didn’t meet you..
Qiao Baiyu died, and I avenged Xiao Siyi.
Days of planning, running around let me move the fetal gas, I fainted in the arms of Shen Yi. When I
woke up, Shen Yi was standing by my side. His eyes were bloodshot. First he was surprised, then the light went out. It was cold to the bone. His voice was like ice. “In order to avenge a child who has no blood relationship with you, you used our bones and blood as bait. He Qing, in your eyes, what am I?”.
My lips were dry, and even my voice seemed to be in my throat. “Do you know?”
“I didn’t investigate Siyi’s life story because I believed you too much, but now I don’t believe you. I can find out what I want to find out.”
Don’t believe me.
He got up and called the doctor to come in and look after me, and then he stepped away without looking back at me.
I closed my eyes, tears streaming down my temples.
Qiaobaiyu died in the palace, although she was the first to kill, but her father was powerful, in this matter to Shen Yi pressure, rebuked Shen Yi pet concubine to destroy his wife only to cause Qiaobaiyu committed a mistake, even if Qiaobaiyu is wrong also should let the emperor convicted, tolerate concubine to kill privately, regardless of the law of the country.
Shen Yi was already struggling in the court, but now it is even more difficult. The
letter of divorce was given to me by the old toffee, Shen Yi’s own handwriting.
Like that year, I left the palace alone, but at that time, I was alone, and now I have a baby in my belly.
I went back to the house and took my sisters back.
He Hasn’t come to see me for a long time. On the day of
childbirth, labor pains made me groan and sweat profusely. In a trance, I saw a tall and straight figure stop outside the door.
11. Epilogue:
In the 13th year of Qingyuan, I gave birth to a son named Shen Xuan.
I sold my family property in the capital and took my children to the south of the Yangtze River to my hometown. Three-year-old
Shen Hsuan looked at my portrait of Shen Yi and asked me in a milky voice, “My mother paints my father’s portrait every day. Is it because she misses him so much?”.
I smiled and gently dried the ink on the portrait, as if blowing on the man’s face. “Yes, my mother misses him very much.”
Then why didn’t Mother go to Daddy? Or why didn’t father come to see his mother?
I put down the portrait and picked him up. “Dad couldn’t come because he wanted to protect his mother.”. My mother couldn’t go because she didn’t want to make any more trouble for my father.
“It’s so convoluted. Xuanxuan doesn’t understand.”
I kissed my son on the cheek and said, “Hsuan-hsuan will understand when he grows up.” At that time,
I chose to personally attack Qiao Bai, because I knew that even if Qiao Bai was convicted and had Qiao Taifu to deal with, Shen Yi could not do anything to her.
Besides, Xiao Siyi is not Shen Yi’s child, for Shen Yi, he is just a commoner, he will not offend Qiao Taifu for Xiao Siyi.
But for me, Xiao Siyi is the child I raised with my own hands, and my feelings for him are no less than Shen Xuan’s.
At the moment I planned, I knew that Shen Yi and I would be separated forever. The greatest protection
he can give me is to save my life.
The letter of divorce seems to be unfeeling, but in fact it is protection.
Qiao Taifu can’t let me go. When I was waiting for delivery
in the capital, I was surrounded by Shen Yi’s secret guards. If I hadn’t been protected by Shen Yi’s people on my way to the south of the Yangtze River, I would have been killed by Qiao Taifu long ago.
Overtly cannot protect, secretly, no one can hold who.
Qiao Taifu himself sent someone to assassinate me. It’s not good to stop Shen Yi from killing him.
If this protection is put on the surface, Shen Yi is in the wrong.
Shen Yi, Qing’er is smart, and Qing’er understands everything.
Three years later, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River asked me to marry him.
I asked the servant to drive the man out, but six-year-old Shen Hsuan threw himself into the man’s arms and shouted, “Daddy..”
I looked back and saw in the bright morning light that the man’s eyebrows and eyes were thin and pale, and his eyes were smiling. “Ching, marry me again..”
