How do you write a novel that begins with the words, “My son-in-law, the princess has been killed with a stick, and a piece of jade has fallen from her body. It’s the one you’ve been looking for for ten years.”?

The emperor’s son-in-law, the princess has been killed with a stick, and a piece of jade has fallen from her body. It’s the one you’ve been looking for for ten years. When

my husband heard this, there was no movement, and I knew he was always calm. Although

I am now dead, only a wisp of soul in front of him, but look at his indifferent appearance, the heart is still a little angry.

People all over the world love jade. My father picked it up on the ground by chance when he was fighting in the desolate land in the northwest. After being carved by a skillful craftsman in the palace, he rewarded it to my husband’s father, Yang Jie.

Before I married my son-in-law, I heard that his family was poor because of this piece of jade. It was said that when my father gave the jade to Yang Jie, the old man was moved to tears in front of my father. He was grateful and tearful. He said that he would be a loyal minister of my Zhou family all his life and would pass on this piece of broken jade as an heirloom.

I really didn’t expect that less than ten years after my father-in-law said this, he would personally destroy the world of my Zhou family. When

I got married, my son-in-law didn’t like me. He didn’t like anyone. He was only good to his mother. His mother had a hard life. When I married him, his mother died. She failed to benefit from the glory I brought to the Yang family, but it was my fault. After that, my son-in-law didn’t like me even more. He suspected that I had killed his mother. Although he didn’t mean me coldly, But after all, he refused to give me a good look.

Later, his father rebelled successfully, and the vast number of soldiers poured into the palace. I still remember that the sky was clear and the air was clear. It was a rare good sunshine in winter. Huai Jue and I went to the palace to visit the imperial concubine.

Not long after, the palace attendants hurriedly ran to the imperial concubine palace, and then Huai Jue and I were scattered by the crowd. Along the way, I saw Xia Pin and several disfavored concubines being pulled to the porch by the rebels, surrounded by cries. I

thought I heard my son-in-law calling me.

But come to think of it, he must have misheard me, and even if he was calling me, he probably just wanted to kill me.

I stumbled all the way and saw the queen in the palace.

It’s like clutching at straws: “The queen..” Before the word “empress” could be spoken, the queen not far away had her throat cut with a sword. Look

carefully, besides the decapitated queen, there is also my father lying on the ground. The man who sheathed the

sword was none other than my son-in-law. I have been

married to him for six years, and I am like a stranger’s son-in-law.

The Zhou Dynasty was a short-lived Dynasty, which flourished and withered for only sixty years. When I

recall these things, I feel that the world is very changeable. It was only later that

I learned that my elder sister Huai Jue was more proud than I was. After she and I were scattered by the rebels, she went up to Sendai alone, jumped down from Baizhang High Platform, and died for her country. Concubine Zheng, whom

I described this, was not crazy at that time. She spoke in a strange way: Huai Jue fell into a puddle of rotten meat. No one dared to come forward. Only the emperor’s son-in-law rushed forward desperately. You and Huai Jue are sisters. They are similar in stature and appearance. I guess he must have taken Huai Jue for you.

“I said,” That’s right. He has to see if I’m dead before he can rest assured. In the third month after Concubine Zheng and

I escaped from the palace, Concubine Zheng went mad.

Ever since she went crazy, I watched her day and night, but one day I went out to pick fruit and came back, and I never saw her again.

I lived alone in Wild Painting Lake, and the first person to find me was not a pawn of the present emperor, but an orphan of the Zhou Dynasty.

This group of people fooled me to rebel, promised me all kinds of benefits, I did not agree, they asked why, I said that no woman can be an emperor since ancient times.

That begins with Your Highness.

I was so moved, but after thinking about it, I really wasn’t that kind of material, so I refused.

If I had known I would die if I didn’t revolt, I might as well have said yes.

Three, a lot of things are chain reactions.

Take a simple example.

If I had not disliked the poverty of the Yang family, my father would not have given the Yang family a large sum of money. I wouldn’t have quarreled with my son-in-law because of this on the

wedding night, and he wouldn’t have left in a huff.

My son-in-law’s mother would not have been summoned to the palace by my mother’s concubine and deliberately served her with cold tea and rice for three days, and my poor mother-in-law would not have fallen ill.

The emperor’s son-in-law would not have looked at me coldly since he served the sick bed.

I wouldn’t have spoken ill of him, and he wouldn’t have slapped me. I will not cry to my father if I

am not humiliated by this.

The father won’t be so angry that he wants to cut down his son-in-law.

I still remember that the emperor’s son-in-law strangled his neck in the palace and refused to admit his mistake to my emperor’s father.

I was rummaging through boxes and cupboards in the house, and there was a lot of people kneeling outside the house. My father-in-law cried and asked me to let his family go.

I almost turned my son-in-law’s room upside down before I found the jade that my father had given to the Yang family.

Then I interceded with my father to say a good word for my son-in-law. I also took this piece of jade as a raft: Yang Xuan is the only son of the Yang family. If my father gives him death, who else can this piece of jade be passed on to?

Yang Xuan gave the jade to his son. Does his father want his son to be a widow? The day after

I brought my son-in-law home, the son-in-law’s mother was completely dead.

The Yang family had a day of ups and downs between great joy and great sorrow, and the whole family dared not speak out against me.

I think my father-in-law later rebelled against my father, more or less because of this.

Fourth, I thought that the rest of my life would pass in a hurry, and that I would never cross paths with my son-in-law again.

But the reality is often unsatisfactory. After I

was captured by the government, I was locked up in the government office for half a month before I saw the sunshine. There was an old friend who came in with the light.

I used to have a close friend. To sum it up

simply, he looks a little better than me, talks more elegantly than me, dresses more appropriately than me, and is better than me in everything, but his family background is not as good as mine, so in the past, he will be a close friend who will be pressed by me.

Now she is standing in front of me.

Now she is the adopted daughter of the current emperor, Princess yuanzhen. I,

on the other hand, am a prisoner.

yuan Zhen was the princess who married my father first, and then recognized her adopted daughter after the new emperor ascended the throne.

At first, my close friend became my little mother. I really couldn’t accept it for a period of time. Now my little mother killed my father inside and outside. I couldn’t accept it and couldn’t do anything about it.

yuan Zhen said a lot of words to me, how she planned for many years, how she hated me, how she despised the queen and her father, and how she talked endlessly like a foot-binding cloth.

At last she sent the jailer to break my hands and feet and scratch my face with a dagger.

She was trying to figure out how to make me more painful, from the sun in the morning to the cold in the evening, and the pain was constantly overlapping on me.

I know those hands. They are Yang Xuan’s hands.

I was covered in blood, sticky and fishy.

I tried to push him away. “Get out!” Then I noticed that his lips were opening and closing, but I couldn’t hear what he said. I was deaf.

Yang Xuan hid me in his private residence, but I escaped without success.

In fact, I don’t know what the meaning of my life is, and I don’t know why he keeps me.

Let me live and die with my wounds all over my body, and I will be more free from hatred.

One night I woke up from a nightmare, shivering alone, but I couldn’t even wrap the quilt tightly. Although

my hands and feet were connected, I could not exert my strength, and I became a real basket case.

The doctor could do nothing about the scar on my face. Yang Xuan stood through the curtain for a long time and finally came in.

I shivered and hid in the bed, afraid to look him in the eye.

He took two steps closer and hugged me irresistibly.

I tried to push him away, but my weak hand didn’t work at all.

I think I shouted at him in a loud voice, “Get out!” I could feel his whole body freeze for a moment.

But I shivered uncontrollably, my throat pinched, and I shouted, “Get out of here!” It’s a pity that I can’t find anything worse to say to him than to get out of the way of being well-fed and well-mannered from childhood to adulthood.

I lived in my son-in-law’s private residence for six years.

He didn’t come to see me very often, and when he did, I mostly kept the door closed. He came into my room one

night drunk, and he was talking, and I didn’t know what he said.

Then he cried, a big man crying like a dead mother.

But come to think of it, he didn’t cry much when his mother died. Maybe he cried, but I don’t know.

I stood trembling in front of him, thinking that I had been so miserable that I didn’t cry. What did he cry.

He has nothing to cry about.

He wrote on the paper, “Huai Bi, I hate you so much.”.

affectation. Of course

he hates me. I know better than anyone. In the days that

followed, I felt that my health was getting worse and worse.

I don’t know where Yang Xuan found a maid who served me since childhood.

But although she served me when I was growing up, she didn’t recognize me.

In her eyes, I was a deaf man with ugly appearance, inconvenient hands and feet and strange temperament.

Where there is a little bit of the former princess’s elegance.

It was not until she bathed me and saw the birthmark on my shoulder that she touched it in disbelief for a long time before she cried and hugged me, and the hot tears kept hitting my shoulder.

After Qihuan Niang came to me, my body gradually got better.

Yang Xuan looked a little more amiable than usual, but he didn’t say anything more about hating me. Sometimes I would ask Huan Niang, “What on earth am I going to do with my son-in-law? Will he fatten me up and then kill me?”?

Huan Niang was a little surprised to hear me call Yang Xuan’s son-in-law at first, but when she got used to it, she just smiled. She knew I was deaf, and I couldn’t hear what I said. It’s been almost ten years since I saw my father-in-law

again.

He looked at me kindly, and I couldn’t understand a word he said.

I tried to distinguish the shape of his mouth, but I only recognized the word “jade.”.

Jade?

What do you mean?

I’m a little confused.

Then yuan Zhen went to the palace, and she knew best how I was deaf.

So she sent someone to write it for me.

yuan Zhen: Yang Xuan has gone to the frontier, but he won’t be back in the near future.

Me: Oh.

yuan Zhen: Your Majesty remembered that you had protected Yang Xuan’s life when you entered the palace with the jade piece, so he promised Yang Xuan that if he could find the jade piece, he would spare your life. But Yang Xuan searched for so many years, but he didn’t find the jade piece. It was probably an act of God.

“Me:” Yes.

yuan Zhen: I remember your elder sister died in Sendai. Why don’t you learn from your elder sister and become a famous princess?

“Me:” Well? Can

I not die?

I haven’t seen Yang Xuan yet.

I want to tell him that although he hates me, I don’t hate him very much. Worried about the long night and many dreams,

Ba yuanzhen asked someone to trap me with a sack and beat me until I died. When

Yang Xuan came back, I couldn’t be more dead. The female officer who

buried the corpse was very skillful and tidied me up neatly. It was only when I died that I found that my appearance before death was not very good.

No wonder Huan Niang didn’t recognize me at that time.

Yang Xuan came all the way back and looked at my corpse with a very calm face.

Huan Niang handed the jade to him and sobbed, “My son-in-law, the princess has been killed with a stick. A piece of jade has fallen from her body. It’s the one you’ve been looking for for ten years.”. As

he watched, he took his hand, his face showing no trace of sadness, and he was clearly indifferent.

I died in front of him, but he didn’t say a word, and I was convinced. The cool breeze blows vigorously

at night.

I waited for the black impermanence to take me away and wanted to go up and see the son-in-law.

After all, when I was married, he didn’t cry for me, and I recognized him. The

lights were dim, and my body was not in the coffin, but in the son-in-law’s room, on the bed.

He sat on the edge of the bed, holding the jade pendant. The spark in the

oil cup jumped down, and he suddenly threw the jade pendant in his hand to the ground.

A mouthful of blood came out.

Then he vomited several mouthfuls of blood uncontrollably.

I wandered around the Naihe Bridge for a while. Meng Po’s soup pie was finished and she was going home to cook it. While

waiting, I met Empress Zheng Fei. When Concu

bine Zheng was not crazy, her appearance was extremely beautiful. Wearing a white dress, she asked me where it was under the bridge?

I replied to her, “Nai River.”. Empress

Zheng kept asking me if I would drown if I jumped in.

I said, “You are a ghost, and you are afraid of being drowned. Can a ghost die twice?”?

She said, yes. But a ghost

on the side said to me, “The Nai River is divided into three parts: the upper, middle, and lower parts. The upper part leads to the future world, and the lower part passes through the future world. At the foot of the river is the present world. The water is chaotic, and there are countless ghosts in it. The living souls are thrown into it, but they will be torn apart in a moment.”.

I stood on the bridge and looked at the moonlight. I accidentally stepped on the air and fell in.

Downstream, the scene of the past flashed by and stayed on the day when Yang Xuan was drunk.

He came into my room drunk. What I asked

from the beginning to the end was just a sentence. Do

you hate me that much?

I stood trembling in front of him and watched him ask this question repeatedly, and I was so frightened that I almost cried. But

he cried earlier than I did. “Why don’t you take the medicine? You hate me so much?” He cried?

He put his hand on my shoulder and shouted at me, “You know I like you, but you still want to humiliate yourself. Do you hate me so much?”? As he

spoke, he wiped away his tears and held me tightly in his arms. I don’t regret it. If I don’t kill the emperor and the empress, my father will kill you. I’d rather you hate me.

It turned out that I was wrong. He and

I had a leisurely time before the rebels forced us to abdicate.

I forgot it.

Every year during the Spring Festival, I am always afraid of hearing the sound of firecrackers. At that time, he will come to play chess with me. When

the firecrackers started, he would quietly put his hand in my ear and whisper, “Don’t be afraid.”.

That’s why I remember his hands so well.

I forgot a lot of things, and I forgot that I loved him, too. When I quarreled

with him, what I said the most was, “You bully me because I like you. You wait, wait for your body to be wrapped in horse leather, and I will remarry immediately.”.

“He answered me at that time,” I will wait. But

I forgot all about it.

The eleven ghosts thought that I threw myself into the Nai River because I couldn’t get over it. After rescuing me, they gave me a good education. Concu

bine Cheng even stood and talked without pain: “Today’s girls are amazing.”. On

the second day, I sent Empress Zheng to be reincarnated and walked in the sea of flowers on the other shore. The flowers

here are boundless, as far as the eye can see. I picked one and played with it. In a trance, I heard Yang Xuan’s voice.

Looking back, more than ten years have passed in a flash, and Yang Xuan seems to be the same young man in those days, patting flowers and horses, and indulging in frivolity. In my

memory, I almost forgot the appearance.
