Mingyue Zhaozhao
, I had a quarrel with the prince.
I had a quarrel with the prince. Sure enough,
he sleepwalked into my room again that night.
He closed his eyes and said firmly, “Lu Zhao, why didn’t you stop me from taking a concubine today?”
“You took a concubine, not me. Why should I stop you?”
I rolled my eyes, though he couldn’t see.
Then I heard the prince burst into tears, holding my arm in his arms and saying, “You don’t love me anymore.”
I was so sleepy that I just wanted to put him to bed quickly.
“Love you, love you.”
“Who loves me? Whoo, whoo..”
“I love you.”
“Who am I? Whoo, whoo..”
“I’m Lu Chao, and Lu Chao loves you very much!”
He stopped crying.
Then he wiped his nose and tears and began to sit on my bed and take off his shoes.
“What are you doing?!” I looked at him in horror.
He kept silent and continued to take off his shoes. When he finished, he began to take off his coat and belt. When I was
about to go in the other direction, I kicked him in the ass.
Suddenly, he suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. He picked up his clothes and said, “Where is this?”! Lu Zhao, what do you want to do with Prince Ben?!
I don’t want to talk to him, but it’s not good for me to go back to sleep.
“I don’t want to do anything.” I kindly reminded him and pointed down to him. “Prince, your underpants have fallen off.” With an exclamation of surprise,
he covered his trousers and ran away. When
the emperor heard that the prince had taken ten concubines to the East Palace at once, he felt that he had taken more concubines than Lao Tzu. The emperor had some difficulties on his face, but he did not dare to be presumptuous, after all, the queen was in charge of it.
Therefore, we have to take indirect way to save the nation route.
The emperor decreed that the prince and I should go to the palace to spend the summer, trying to let me save the prince’s heart, so that he could be more tightly controlled.
That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard this year. Don’t you know what kind of virtue
your own son is?
The palace is really a good place to escape the summer heat, so I am not idle while the evening is cool.
I went out.
But when I came back, I found that the palace had changed. There was a mess
all around, the pillars were covered with sword marks, blood splashed all over the ground, and there were bodies lying on the ground.
There are assassins and palace guards.
My heart missed a beat and I ran to the prince’s room, only to see a pool of fresh blood on the bed.
No body.
Fortunately, it seems that the prince runs fast enough.
The next morning, the prince himself went back to the East Palace. When I
heard the news, I was still looking for him everywhere in the palace. It was very good. It was very similar to his style of abandoning his wife. As soon as
I stepped into the East Palace, the prince threw a big blue and white porcelain at me. Fortunately, I flashed sideways quickly, otherwise I would be killed. I lost my temper early in the
morning.
I raised an eyebrow and asked him, “What’s the matter? If you don’t take good care of yourself, can you still throw the bottle?”
His hand was wrapped like a turnip and his face was cut.
The prince raised his chin defiantly. “Come on!”! Lu Chao, you have the ability to kill me! It’s the first time
I’ve heard someone make such a perverted request.
Then he rushed over and beat him up.
Now, his head is covered like a pig’s head.
The imperial physician gave him medicine beside him, and the prince’s mouth was not idle.
Lu Chao, you ruthless woman! You actually hit me!
I was indifferent and stood looking at him coldly.
Humph! I tell you, I have found the right girl for me! He said.
I remained silent.
“As the Crown Princess, if you want to help the Crown Prince out of trouble, you must find the right girl for me.”
I listen, this is easy to handle, is not to find a person?
Who knows the prince did not even see what kind of parents, also can not say the name, can not say the appearance characteristics, only know is a woman, this is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack. My
face was very ugly, and I seriously suspected that he was trying to make fun of me.
He immediately lowered his eyes and said to me apologetically, “It was so dark that I ran out of breath. All I heard was her gentle voice.” As I
was drinking tea, I almost spat out a mouthful of water: “What if the other person is a man with a gentle voice?”
The prince’s face was heavy, and he seemed to be thinking about it carefully. “What you said seems to be very reasonable. The man who saved me was flat-chested!”.
Then he thought about it carefully and denied the idea.
He said that since God had sent someone to save her in danger, he would send a beautiful woman instead of a strong man who spoke softly!
Well, in that case, the prince has orders, I have no reason not to follow.
“Don’t worry, give me three days, and I’ll find you that little girl with a gentle voice!”
After listening to me, the expression on the prince’s face became more gloomy.
I thought, I didn’t say anything wrong!
So he drank the tea in one gulp, put it down quickly, and left his bedroom.
I originally wanted to put up the imperial list so that the little girl with a gentle voice could claim the title of “the savior of His Royal Highness the Prince.”.
Unexpectedly, I underestimated the cheekiness of the girls in the capital. My yard was packed with
girls, all of whom said they had saved the prince in the palace.
I have no choice but to use the elimination method first.
First, some of the girls with rough voices were excluded, then some of the girls with burly voices were excluded, and finally a dozen of the girls with gentle voices and good looks were left behind.
This is no less than a big draft.
Later, I found several maids who could write and asked them to write down how the remaining girls saved the prince, ready to give the prince his own judgment.
That’s the end of it.
Today’s sun is big and hot, so toss and turn, my whole person is irritable, just want to hurry back to take a cold bath, rest.
Who knew that the corner met the empress who came to the East Palace to visit her eldest son.
I had to be patient and pay my respects cleverly.
The empress looked at me in such an angry manner, her eyes wide open, and her critical words came out: “You see, do you still look like a Crown Princess?”! The prince was injured, and instead of taking good care of him, he even went around having fun!
I was wronged. Where do
you see that I go to play.
I was working hard for your son, helping him find the right girl.
I was too lazy to argue, so I stood in the sun and listened to the queen for an hour.
Perhaps it was because the weather was so hot that she kept talking and her mouth was dry. Finally, she said, “Humph!”! Take care of yourself! End.
I sent the queen away with a well-behaved salute.
Since my father’s death, the queen’s attitude towards me has changed a lot. If I don’t do something well, she will catch it.
If it’s okay for me to be wronged, her lack of interest in scolding alone will end up with nothing. If I had refuted one or two sentences, I would not have escaped the punishment of kneeling down to copy books today.
She begged me to marry the prince at first. After
returning to the palace, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. If I didn’t help the prince, I wouldn’t be scolded. It was really not worth it. So I waved my hand and called someone to dismiss the girls.
Sure enough, as soon as my words were released, the prince came after hearing the news.
He had a pig’s head on his head, and he couldn’t hear clearly when he spoke.
“You have gone back on your word!”
“I know how to advance and retreat.”
The prince can only gnash his teeth in silence, after all, he can’t beat me.
“Why are you so kind to help me find it?” He asked me, “Aren’t you jealous?”
I looked at him and couldn’t help but remind him, “Prince, not long ago you accepted ten concubines at one go. It doesn’t make any difference to me if there is one more or one less.”
I don’t know why, but after I said it, he was even more angry.
Finally, he angrily left a sentence: “If you don’t look for it, I’ll look for it myself!” He turned around and left.
Before going out, he did not forget to stare at me sadly. When he saw me get up, he thought I was going to hit him, and suddenly he ran very fast!
I silently rolled my eyes and got up to move my position. Even the stool is hot on
this hot day.
Because the prince decided to go to find the right girl in person with a pig’s head, the queen looked at Haohao Tang Tang’s posture and figured out that I was not having fun that day.
I thought she would apologize to me, but she just said lightly, “You worked hard that day,” and then told me to go with the prince and take good care of his health. The
queen’s reaction is in my expectation, for the misunderstanding is only a passing mention, her good big son is the most important.
But fortunately, the prince did not run to the queen to complain, but I beat him into a pig’s head, all on the assassin. There is still a
little affection.
Prince’s choice of the right girl is really different from ordinary people, completely in accordance with their own aesthetic.
Go to your gentle voice, go to your restoration process, I just want to be good-looking.
He stood in the crowd, glanced at it, reached out his hand, and pointed to the weakest and most beautiful girl in the crowd. “I have a feeling that it’s her!”
I immediately sent someone to put the girl into a sedan chair and take her away by force.
The prince didn’t know why, but his eyes jumped with joy. “What are you doing?”? Want to kill someone to silence him?
I shook my head and explained, “Wash up early and get ready. I’ll try to send it to your bedroom in the evening.”
The prince gave a “hum,” and his face suddenly turned ugly. I
didn’t care what he looked like. I just said, “You see, the girl you chose is the most beautiful one here.” His
face softened a little, and he stared at me, then looked away uncomfortably, muttering, “That’s all.”
“You know, just like that.” I gave him a white look. “Which of the ten you bought before doesn’t look better than this one today?”
The prince suddenly choked on me, and his eyes were full of peach blossoms, and his face was full of anger: “Anyway, he looks much better than you!”
He stared at my chest and said, “I’m much better than you in some ways!”
Now I’m choking.
To be sure, what he said is true, and I can’t refute it. I’ve been practicing martial arts since I
was a child, so I’m really not as good as others in some aspects.
I don’t hold grudges, but that doesn’t mean I won’t bring up the past. I glanced faintly at the prince and said, “Even so, didn’t the prince use a lot of dirty tricks to marry me?”
Prince actually has no ability, the greatest advantage is to understand the current affairs-when I want to beat him, quickly find and run away.
The emperor did not like him, but he was the only legitimate son. At that time, my father was still alive, and he was a powerful general who held half of the military forces. And he has only one daughter, so I am very popular among the princes. In order to let the prince marry me smoothly,
the queen not only spread the rumors that I was in love with the prince, but also drugged me. When
my father knew it, he wanted to slap the prince to death. But I thought about it, and it didn’t seem worth it, so I just put up with it and got married.
Hearing me suddenly mention this unbearable past, the prince became mute in an instant. He didn’t know what to say for a while, so he had to stare at me with his peach blossom eyes.
I stopped arguing with him and asked the palace people to prepare their horses to go back to the palace.
The prince stood behind me in silence for a long time, then suddenly asked, “If you tell me where you were on the day of the assassination, I won’t take the girl back to the palace.” What does
that mean?
Because I was so ashamed to mention it?
Or did he think I was reminding him to cherish me and that I was jealous?
Whatever it was, it didn’t matter. The palace man prepared the carriage, and I lifted my skirt and walked up. Before I
lowered the curtain, I looked him in the eye and said, “Your Highness, whoever you like has nothing to do with me.”
“So where did you go that day?”
“You really want to know?” I looked at him and laughed.
His expression was serious, and he looked at me with great seriousness.
“I went to see Huo Guang.”
I said softly.
Then I saw the prince’s face sink a little bit.
I ignored it and left on my own. Huo Guang and
I are childhood sweethearts.
If the prince doesn’t get involved, I should be married to Huo Guang.
He is my father’s most proud apprentice, after my father’s accident, he relied on his own ability to become a general smoothly. The night I
went to the palace, the weather was cool. I practiced my sword alone for a while. Suddenly, a stone flew out of nowhere. After I hid easily, I found a layer of paper wrapped around the stone. There are a few words written
on it.
“See you in the bamboo grove for the cause of the general’s death.”
I walked into the woods with my sword, and when I was always alert that it was a trap, I saw a familiar figure. Under
the moonlight, Huo Guangfeng is handsome and gentle. In the
impression, he has always been like this, with a faint smile on his face.
“Ah Chao, long time no see.”
His voice is gentle and pleasant. I haven’t heard anyone call my name like this for a long time since I married the prince.
Remembering the note, I asked him, “What’s going on with my father?”
My father is a general.
He once said that if one day there was a real chance, he hoped he would die in battle.
It was the glory of a soldier’s life.
But he didn’t. He died under a horse. A mad horse trampled him to death. My fists clenched as I
recalled the past. I was on the hunt that day.
I watched him get on the horse in high spirits. He said I was bored in the East Palace and wanted to catch a live rabbit for me to play with.
I waited and waited, and I got my dad’s body. Huo Guang looked heavy in
front of him. “It was the prince who did it,” he said hesitantly.
I chuckled.
“You don’t believe me?” Huo Guang was a little worried. He quickly took my hand and continued to persuade me. “We all saw with our own eyes that the prince gave the wine to the master before the hunting.”. And although the boy who led the horse committed suicide, wasn’t the prince the only one who came near the crazy horse that day?
I pulled my hand back, Huo Guang’s expression is a little embarrassed, but quickly restored as usual.
“Didn’t you also suffer from the prince’s dirty tricks?” As soon as Huo Guang changed his previous gentle look, his expression became a little bit fierce. “If it weren’t for him, we would have been married, and we would have lovely children, and we could teach him sword dance in our spare time.”. Instead of being like this, are you happy being trapped in the East Palace?
I sighed, “Huo Guang, you can’t always live in the past. I’m already the Crown Princess.”
His eyes froze.
I ignored him and turned to leave, and when I came back, I found that the palace had been swept by assassins.
In fact, I don’t believe a word Huo Guang told me.
It’s not how much I love the prince, but when the prince has a misunderstanding with me, he is bound to sleepwalk that night.
If he did hurt my father, I don’t believe he wouldn’t tell me when he was sleepwalking. The night
of the wedding, I beat up the prince and threw him out. “Do you think I want to marry you?” The exasperated
prince shouted outside the door.
Unexpectedly, I was awakened by the sound of pushing the door in the middle of the night. People who
practice martial arts are very vigilant in this respect.
I saw the prince touch my bedside with hazy eyes, put his arms around me and began to tell his heart.
He looked aggrieved and rubbed his mouth against my chest.
He said that he really liked me, that he was not involved in the drugging, and that he was tricked into drinking by the queen.
He said he was happy to hear that I was willing to marry him, but he didn’t expect me to beat him.
As soon as I heard it, I relented and let him go to bed together.
The next morning, he got up with a cold look of pulling up his pants and leaving after sleeping.
I knew he was sick, and he was very sick.
So today I stimulated the prince to have a private meeting with my childhood sweetheart. I’m sure he will come tonight. I even left the door open for him.
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, the prince arrived as promised.
He blinked his peach blossom eyes and threw himself into my arms.
I asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
He buried his head in my chest and kept accusing me of sounding more aggrieved. Won’t your conscience hurt if
you leave me in the palace to meet your lover? Whoo, whoo.. Do you know how scared I am when
I’m not with you? Whoo, whoo..
“My heart hurts. Touch me..”
Then he grabbed my hand and touched his chest.
Every time sleepwalking is this kind of death, your heart is so painful, my head is more painful.
“Promise me that you will never go to see Huo Guang again.”
“Never look for it again.”
“Who’s better, me or Huo Guang?”
“You are more powerful.”
“Who do you love the most?”
Okay? Here comes the required question for every sleepwalk.
“I love you the most. Lu Chao loves you the most.”
He was satisfied and began to take off his clothes again. Not only did
he take off his own, he also took off mine. If
the prince is not a demon, he seems to be uncomfortable all over.
I just got up a little late, and the maid hurried over to tell me.
The prince went to the emperor early this morning, and now he is kneeling at the gate of the palace and saying that he wants to divorce the crown princess.
I said “oh” calmly.
Looked at the scorching sun outside, this kneeling outside will not become a barbecue?
I have to check out the jokes.
So he quickly cleaned up and got up.
The prince knelt down in front of the palace gate, with a straight little body. With an indomitable look, I couldn’t help sighing.
“Go back.”
He turned his head, and his peach blossom eyes were shining, which made my heart move.
“Are you concerned about me?”
I remembered his stubborn temper and really wanted to tell him that he could sleepwalk.
But the words to the mouth and hold back, forget to give him a face.
“Yes, as your Crown Princess, I naturally care about you.”
The prince pouted and muttered something that I didn’t hear clearly. Then he put on a bitter look: “You didn’t want to marry me originally. If you still have Huo Guang in your heart, now you kneel down with me and beg my father to allow us to divorce.”
“From now on, I will be deeply attached to the man who saved my life, and you will be as close as your childhood sweetheart.” I couldn’t help laughing in my heart when I
heard it.
“That’s a great suggestion!” As soon as
the prince heard this, his face turned completely black, and for a long time he just gnashed his teeth and squeezed out the word “you.”.
“But I won’t agree.” I smiled and looked at the prince’s face, which was red from the sun, and suddenly looked a little surprised. I went on to say, “Prince, we have come to this point today. Do you want to kick me away when you have a girl you like?” Then
I bent over and reached out to help him brush his sweat-wet hair away from his forehead. I bent down and gently picked up his face. The tip of my nose was almost on the tip of his nose.
I laughed softly.
“Prince, let’s torture each other for the rest of our lives!”
The prince fell before the palace gate.
The scorching sun finally made his little body unable to carry it, and he was reasonably suffering from heatstroke. After
being shipped back, the doctor said a lot, in short, he needed to be taken care of.
I watched him all night, and I was physically and mentally exhausted. As
a result, not only did he fall ill, but I also suffered. You
really deserve it! Early
the next morning, the little girl cried and the pear flowers came with rain. To be precise, she is already Liu Liangdi of the East Palace.
I was upset by the way she cried and got up to go out for a breath. Before he could stand outside for a while, he heard something coming from inside.
It seems that the prince is awake.
I hastened to order the palace people to invite the imperial physician and turned back to the room to check the situation. But only to see the prince pale, still gently looking at Liu Liangdi, he pulled a hoarse voice to comfort her.
“It’s all right. It worries Yiyi.”
You really look like a concubine.
Liu Liangdi, named Liu Yiyi, was the savior chosen by the prince himself that day. Although it is not very stunning, but the voice is charming, so a cry of pear flowers with rain, it is even more lovely.
Sure enough, the prince’s voice was even more gentle. “Has Yiyi stayed here all night?”
Liu Yiyi did not answer, but sobbed with red eyes.
I looked at them with an indifferent face.
He glanced over at me standing in the doorway, wondering what had come to mind. He frowned for a moment, then sighed and said, “Go back and have a rest. Don’t be tired.”
Then the voice changed to a sarcastic tone. “It’s not like some people want me dead.”
I stared at the prince, his ability is not black and white, it is clear that I worked hard to serve him all night, and Liu Yiyi just came in and shed two tears. The fire in
my heart immediately exploded, and I went forward to have a good theory. Perhaps my momentum was so strong that Liu Yiyi’s little face was pale and trembling all over.
The prince stood up and hurriedly protected the man. “Don’t frighten Yiyi if you are angry with me,” he told me feebly.
I laughed directly in anger. Liu Yiyi and I went to the yard together
because the doctor said that the prince needed to stay in bed and rest more.
Prince’s yard is full of roses, and he knows that I like these flowers that smell good and are easy to feed, so he planted a full yard.
He thought I didn’t know why, but he didn’t know that he had exposed it all when he was sleepwalking.
Think of here, I suddenly feel that this Liu Yiyi is not so annoying.
“Crown Princess..”
Then I looked back and saw Liu Yiyi’s big watery eyes, and I was angry again.
She was much shorter than I was. She looked up at me in the sunshine, showing her beautiful neck like a proud white swan. She seemed to have mustered up her courage and said, “Your Highness promised me that I would be the crown princess.”
I smiled, and my hand, which was resting on the stem of the rose, tightened and pinched the flower off.
I played with it for a while, put the flowers in her hair and asked her.
“He’s really a beautiful person, but there are so many beautiful people in the East Palace. Why are you so arrogant?”
“Just because I am the savior of His Royal Highness.”
She spoke with certainty and certainty.
I raised my eyebrows and asked her, “The prince didn’t see who saved him at all. He identified you only because you were the most beautiful woman in the group.”
“Liu Yi-yi, you don’t really think you’re his savior, do you?”
I approached her and whispered in her ear, “So, was it you who saved the prince?”
Her hand secretly pinched the sleeve, do not know is not too nervous, Liu Yiyi can not help but hit a shiver.
From that day on, I thought Liu Yiyi would be much more obedient, but I didn’t expect that she would still rush to the prince’s side. Every time I went to visit the prince, I would meet two people flirting. I
really will be blind if I look at it again.
I thought it was nothing, but I didn’t expect that gradually almost all the eunuchs in the East Palace thought that I, the Crown Princess, was going to be swept out of the house, and the leftovers were not enough, but the days were not very satisfactory.
Later, even the ice was not available.
This big summer, there is no ice is not to die of heat, I had no choice but to reward the palace people for me to go out to buy.
But in the evening, waiting for the Huo Guang.
His flying skill is very good, but I didn’t expect him to run to the East Palace so boldly. If I hadn’t been too hot to sleep and sitting on the window to enjoy the cool, I would have taken him as an assassin and arrested him.
Perhaps I was too embarrassed at the moment, Huo Guang looked resentful and clenched his fist, “The prince should treat you like this, I must kill him!”
I looked at him very carefully without saying a word.
He saw me react like this. After a moment, he covered his lips with his fist and coughed twice. “The prince is so heartless to you, and he is suspected of killing the master. Do you still want to stay with him?”
“I hate the man who killed my father, but..”
“Let’s join hands.” He suddenly interrupted me, his eyes twinkling with inexplicable brilliance. He took my hand and said, “The prince has lost the heart of the emperor by playing around like this. Naturally, we should choose another wise master.”. The eldest prince has promised me that he will marry us as soon as he ascends the throne.
I’m a little dumb.
Suddenly, he found that the man in front of him was a little strange, and his eyes were full of calculation. His face is full of ambition, and he is now a big prince.
I interrupted his gushing: “If you want to take the crown prince’s position, then take it. Why do you want to join hands with me?”
In his dull eyes, I cleared my throat and asked: “I mean, what do you need me to do?”
Huo Guang took a deep breath. “The big prince wants the old talisman left by the master,” he said slowly. When I heard
this, I frowned, and my whole body tightened up, and my heart turned a thousand times.
A terrible idea suddenly came to me.
Now Huo Guang has stood in the position of my father general, there is no reason to have no soldiers, and my father is clearly intended to promote him.
I was staring at the man, unless Huo Guang at that time took refuge in the big prince, made my father unhappy, so the old soldier amulet did not give him.
However, if my father had stopped him, and he wouldn’t listen.
If he thinks his father is in his way..
I opened my mouth and some words stuck in my throat, and I almost used all my strength to squeeze them out.
Huo Guang, I remember.. Remember the day of the hunt, besides the prince, you were close to the horse. I even remember that you and my father were going in the same direction in the woods.
Huo Guang all over a stiff, but only a moment he returned to the normal expression. “Ah Chao,”
he exclaimed, “what nonsense are you talking about?”
His hands clenched mine with a gentle expression. “You must have thought too much recently.”. It’s late at night. Go to bed quickly. I didn’t hear what he said
later, but I remembered his stiff expression for a moment. I’ve
known him for twenty years, and I can see what he’s thinking with almost one expression.
He just had a guilty conscience. He had a guilty conscience!
My brain is completely confused, didn’t notice when Huo Guang left. When I came to my senses, I saw the prince standing straight in the yard in black clothes.
The background is a thick night.
He looked straight at me with a complicated expression. He looked at me for a long time and turned away without saying a word.
Somehow, his back looked very desolate and lonely.
He probably saw me and Huo Guang private meeting, but I didn’t care.
The next day, however, the prince decisively gave me a letter of divorce and sent someone to drive me out of the East Palace. When the
prince brought me the letter of divorce, his expression was solemn: “You will never understand how it feels when a girl suddenly appears and saves me at the moment of life and death.”. Yiyi is a good girl, she has me in her heart, and it’s all me! When I am unhappy, she can sing songs to coax me. When I am sick, she can serve me. In my mind, she deserves the position of Crown Princess. So take this letter of divorce and leave, and I will find a way from my father.
I was worried about how to let Huo Guang trust me, the prince handed the letter of divorce, so I did not hesitate to take it.
However, grasping the book for a moment, the prince did not let go.
His knuckles were white, and it was obvious that he had used a great deal of strength, as if he regretted it and did not want to give me the letter of divorce.
He stared at me with tears in his eyes.
It was the first time that he looked at me with the most sober eyes, and the peach blossom eyes were bottomless, as if they were full of deep feelings and reluctance.
My heart suddenly seemed to be gripped by a hand. It
hurts so much.
Then, I was so cruel that I pulled the divorce book over bit by bit. The light in
his eyes suddenly disappeared, the corners of his mouth were raised, and there was a little loneliness in his words: “What’s the matter? Are you in such a hurry to meet your little lover?”? Lu Zhao, didn’t you say a few days ago that you would torture each other for a lifetime? Why are you going back on your word now?
At this moment, I am already physically and mentally exhausted, where there is the mood to entangle these love things with the prince.
Without saying a word, he packed up his things and went out of the palace. He sped to the general’s office of Huo Guang, and then threw the book of divorce into the face of Huo Guang with all his strength.
“I’ll work with you!”
Huo Guang picked up the book of divorce dropped on the ground, he laughed. In a twinkling of an eye, he saw that my face was not good, and he pretended to sigh.
I turned my back and said coldly, “I was a little confused yesterday. Don’t take nonsense to heart.”. I’ve been thinking about it all night. You have a point. The prince is most likely to murder his father. Some time ago, I couldn’t believe that the person next to me would treat me like this, but now he has given me this letter of divorce. Before I
had finished reading the lines I had prepared, Huo Guang suddenly hugged me from behind.
My body stiffened, and the next moment I was about to break away, but I heard him say affectionately, “Ah Zhao, I will be good to you. When the prince dies, we can be together fair and square.” After the death of
the prince?
Hearing these four words, I was so frightened that I didn’t dare to show it. I could only try to make my body not so stiff and lean on his arms. The
last time he was in the palace, he was lucky, but this time he wasn’t so lucky. The Liu Yiyi beside him is the killer I arranged for him. Ah Zhao, you just wait until the news of the prince’s birth comes out of the palace soon.
I gasped and tried to suppress my mood so that he wouldn’t see it.
“Liu Yiyi is your man.”
“Yes, Ah Zhao, in fact, the prince has long wanted to divorce you. He just lacks a reason. Now, he gave you up for a cheap killer, and you don’t have to remember him anymore. Let’s live a good life and no one will ever break us up again.
I tried to control the tremor of my voice and asked, “When will you do it?”
Huo Guang looked deeply at the darkening sky outside.
“Tonight.” When
I got back to the palace, the prince was assassinated again.
Fortunately, in time, my sudden appearance made the dagger in Liu Yiyi’s hand deviate from the angle and stab the prince in the shoulder.
Then I quickly subdued her and quickly removed her jaw so that she could not bite her tongue and commit suicide.
Later, Liu Yiyi, under some punishment, testified to the conspiracy of the big prince and Huo Guang, and the truth finally came to light.
Just when everything seemed to be going in the right direction, everyone in the East Palace was jubilant, except the prince. After the wound on his
shoulder was healed, he was still ill, and the doctor said that there was no cure for his heart disease.
I sighed and asked him, “Are you really in love with Liu Yiyi?”
After being betrayed by her, he got a heart disease? When
the prince heard this, his face was rather ugly.
But I’m not the one who talks according to his face. “Why do you like her?” I continued? Because she saved your life?
The prince clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. “You don’t know what love is!”
I sneered, “Your love is really too cheap.”. If I had been the one who saved you, would you have loved me as much as you loved Liu Yiyi? Without thinking,
the prince immediately answered in the affirmative.
“Of course.” “Let me tell you one thing,”
I said carelessly, “I was the one who saved you. You were assassinated that night, Huo Guang deliberately led me out. When I got back, you were gone. I looked for you all night before I found you, and then I stopped the bleeding and bandaged you. It just so happened that I met an assassin searching the mountain. I had no choice but to put you in a safe place for a while and draw the assassin away myself. That’s how I got separated from you.
The prince was obviously shocked by this fact.
He opened his mouth. How did..?
I took a sip of tea to moisten my throat and continued, “Besides, I stayed with you all night when you got sunstroke. It wasn’t Liu Yiyi at all. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her before she dies.” At
this point, I was no longer in the mood to talk to him. I put down my teacup and got up to leave.
“Wait!” The prince suddenly stopped me. “You’re pretending to deceive me in front of me again. If you still had a little friendship for me, how could you be so eager to accept the letter of divorce I gave you?”
“Are you an idiot?” I turned around and stared at him, “How can I make Huo Guang believe that I have broken up with you? How can I get his words out? How can I stop your beloved Liu Yiyi from assassinating you?”
I deliberately bit the pronunciation of the word “beloved” and then left, leaving the prince, who was already completely confused, behind me.
Perhaps the prince never thought that I should be so affectionate, and he should be so cruel.
He was so stunned that he had no face to see me, and for many days he was alone in his study, supposedly dealing with government affairs.
It was a sunny day, and I was kicking shuttlecock with the prince’s warblers and swallows in the garden. The shuttlecock was accidentally kicked through a short rockery and landed at the prince’s feet.
I hurried over to pick it up and looked at the embarrassed eyes of the prince.
He handed the shuttlecock forward, his face slightly pink, and suddenly his eyes fell on my stomach, and his eyes were wide open in an instant.
“How big is your belly?”
“Here is a baby.”
I clearly saw that the prince’s legs were weak, and he would have fallen to the ground if he hadn’t been helped by the eunuch next to him.
He stretched out his hand and pointed it shakily at me, and his words were not smooth.
Why didn’t you tell me? You can even kick a shuttlecock!
I looked at him strangely and said, “I wanted to tell you that there was a conflict some time ago, and you have been avoiding me for a while.”
The prince’s face was tangled, and for a moment he seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly picked me up and said to me as he walked along, “Ah Zhao, I used to be the one who didn’t understand. You have a lot to forgive me.”! In the future, if you take good care of the baby, as long as you don’t kick shuttlecocks and play with big knives, I’ll listen to whatever you say, okay? Huo Guang said he wanted to see me before the execution when
I was at ease to raise the fetus. At this time, I was already six months pregnant, and it was quite inconvenient to move with a big belly.
But he insisted on seeing me in prison.
For the sake of being a childhood sweetheart, I decided to meet him. There was a smell of blood and putrefaction in the
prison, and I felt sick in my stomach.
Huo Guang looked at me and got up in shackles, but his eyes fell on my stomach.
He gave a sad laugh and said, “Ah Zhao, you are pregnant with his child.”
I did not speak, but looked at him coldly. Once upon a time, he was also the person who brought me warmth, but he was blindfolded by power, and finally perfidy actually killed my father.
“Ah Chao, aren’t you curious?” He looked at me with deep eyes. “Shifu’s martial arts are better than mine. Even if I do something to the horse, Shifu can dismount quickly.”
I told you long ago that there was something wrong with the glass of wine that the prince handed to his master. When I followed Master into the woods, he was already dying.
Huo Guang is about to die, there is no need to lie to me at this time.
But why?
Maybe my eyes are confused, or maybe some idea in my heart has begun to waver.
I heard Huo Guang sighed, “but now you don’t believe it, there is no need, you are already pregnant with his child.”
I don’t remember how I got back to the East Palace, but I felt very absent-minded.
I don’t understand how the prince didn’t confess to me when he was sleepwalking. A bad idea suddenly rose in
my mind.
He’s lying to me.
Soon after, the prince was left in the palace by the emperor.
I called the prince’s personal eunuch, and finally forced out the answer.
The little eunuch said that he had advised the prince to pretend to sleepwalk close to me.
Because the prince is thin-skinned, he can’t pull down his face to please me, so he has to do this.
So the prince has always been pretending to be confused. Suddenly
my mind was clear, and I finally understood why the prince sent the wine to my father.
Emperors are the most taboo. My father is already a general, and if his daughter marries someone else, it’s okay, but she marries the prince.
So he will find a way to get rid of a hidden danger.
And the prince may like me, so he will take the initiative to send wine to my father.
And none of that matters.
The important thing is, he lied to me.
And I foolishly believed it. Discouraged,
I simply packed up some gold and silver, and quietly went out alone.
Although it was not convenient for me to have a big belly, it was easy to find a secret place to live. After five months in the alley,
I gave birth to a son.
During this period, I also heard the news that the prince was looking for someone in a big way, but I didn’t mention who he was looking for. And I changed my residence every once in a while, but he didn’t find me.
My father was right. The Sacred Heart is unpredictable.
He has long dissuaded me from marrying the prince, because the prince will ascend the throne of God in the future.
And I stubbornly think that perhaps he is weak and others are not the same, I sighed, since childhood in the palace, what is different.
I spent three years in peace with my son.
At the beginning, little people were already jumping around and clamoring to go out to play. The elders in the
courtyard all said that he looked like me, but I looked at him like a mirror in my heart, and his smart peach blossom eyes were exactly the same as the prince’s.
I occasionally think of my past in the East Palace, but I am glad that I can escape, this vast world, I always want to see.
And now I have a little guy with me. It was a busy day in the
market. I saw that the weather was just right and took my son out to get some air.
He looked at the ice-sugar gourds not far away, pinched the corner of my coat and said to me coquettishly, “Mother, will you buy me a ice-sugar gourds?”
I knew I couldn’t beat him, so I had to buy it.
“Just one bunch. If you eat too much, you’ll get cavities.”
He answered cleverly with a smile.
I had just finished paying the copper money, holding the string of sugar-coated haws in my hand, but I found that my son, who had just been beside me, had disappeared. I
was so anxious and angry that I didn’t know where to find my son like a headless chicken.
When I was in a hurry, he came to me with several strings of ice-sugar gourds in his hands.
“Mother, there is a kind uncle who has given me so much ice-sugar gourds.”
I held him in my arms and my heart pounded with fear. God knows how I’ll survive the rest of my life if my son is lost. When
I calmed down, I remembered to ask him, “Which uncle gave you the ice-sugar gourds?”
He stood straight and pointed to the exit of a small alley. “That uncle has been standing there looking at his mother just now?”? He said, “I look like my mother.”
He frowned again and thought about it and then said.
“And he said, My eyes are like his.”
I hurried to the entrance of the alley, but there was no one there.
