The late emperor's ruthlessness seriously hurt the Hu family, who had a girlish heart. In the past two years of her court career, this young girl who was only in her teens and should have been full of youth gradually turned into a resentful woman with a despairing heart. She also gradually understood that...
That beautiful palace was actually a cage made of gold.
But she was still a charming woman at heart, and she couldn't convince herself to fight for the love of a ruthless man in a golden cage, so she had to give up her son, whom she had only seen once since birth, and walked away from the palace full of grievances.
Go to Xiangguo Temple, three hundred miles away from Jingyang City, to lead the practice.【】
Xiangguo Temple is the first Buddhist temple in the Northern Qi Dynasty and is a forbidden area for Buddhism. Although life is poor and simple, it is not difficult. The Hu family gradually settled down and began to live with peace of mind.
But her fate did not end there. Just when she was stable after entering Xiangguo Temple, an unexpected person came to visit her.
This person was none other than Lin, whom she had been engaged to before entering the palace.
Mr. Lin was born into a scholarly family. Although his appearance was not as handsome as the late emperor's, he was very affectionate. He had never married since Hu was forced to enter the palace, and he could not let go of her. This time he unexpectedly heard that she had been
After knocking down Xiangguo Temple, I rushed to visit regardless of the cost, and was extremely considerate.
The appearance of Mr. Lin awakened Mr. Hu's past memories. Scenes of shy conversations with him emerged in his mind. His originally cold heart gradually warmed up with his tenderness and consideration. The two of them could not suppress their fluctuating feelings.
The sister-in-law in Xiangguo Temple met secretly. At first, they just chatted and expressed condolences. After three months, the two could no longer control themselves and trusted each other.
In ancient times, women had a very strong concept of chastity. After Hu regained consciousness, she inevitably regretted it, so she kicked Mr. Lin out of Xiangguo Temple, determined to concentrate on worshiping Buddha and making up for her sins. But unexpectedly, just such a moment of self-control caused her to have a stomachache
She is pregnant with Lin’s child.
Hu didn't know it at first, but as her belly grew bigger and bigger, she finally aroused the suspicion of the nuns in the temple. Hu refused to deny it and had to confess everything. By this time, the baby in her belly was already five months old.
.
This incident caused an uproar at that time. Xiangguo Temple reprimanded her for insulting the pure place of Buddhism, reported to the late emperor and kicked her out of Xiangguo Temple. The late emperor was furious and sent people to arrest her and bring her to justice. Hu's heart was burning with death, but she thought
While hiding in Tibet with the child in her belly, she gave birth to a seven-star girl (a baby girl born seven months prematurely) in a ruined temple two months later.
After hearing the news, Mr. Lin hurried over and saw the wailing baby girl and the dying Hu in the ruined temple. He hurriedly took the two of them away, but unexpectedly, the late emperor's men also arrived. In desperation, the extremely weak Hu let him go.
He took the child and left alone.
Mrs. Hu was brought back to Jingyang City. According to palace regulations, a rebellious concubine like her should be exploited and executed in Ling Chi. The late emperor did not kill Qi Mo out of respect for Qi Mo, who was just over one year old, but demoted her to
A commoner, he was permanently imprisoned in a remote orphanage in Jingyang City.
At this stage, even for decades, the late emperor also traced the whereabouts of the baby girl. Unfortunately, Mr. Lin was smart and disappeared with the baby girl early on. After a long period of searching, the late emperor gradually gave up.
Even Mr. Hu's memory slowly faded until he disappeared.
Fu Yan's tone of narration was extremely cold, neither flattering nor deliberately belittling. The sensational royal scandal of the year came out of his mouth with the same understatement as a child hosting a family banquet. If you listen carefully, you can still notice the somber tone in his tone.
A touch of sarcasm.
Zhong Qingye paid attention to these details. After hearing this, she finally understood a little bit about Qi Mo's life experience. Her slender eyebrows twisted into a big knot on her forehead and did not loosen for a long time.
She knew that in this era where men were superior to women, the concept that her daughter's family had been taught since childhood was the three obediences and the four virtues. The so-called three obediences were to obey the father at home, to the husband when married, and to the son when the husband died. Chastity, for women of this era, was
Something more important than life.
How important is this?
If there is a cheating woman in a family, then not only herself, but also her parents, her brothers and sisters, and even her biological children will be cast aside by everyone.
Her parents and brothers will not be able to hold their heads high in front of others, and her children will be ridiculed by others. It is even normal for the children to not be able to get married or have a wife when they grow up.
To put it simply, as long as a woman in a family loses her virginity, her entire family will fall behind. When the Hu family caused such a thing, Qi Mo, who was only one year old, had a particularly serious concept of chastity.
Zhong Qingye couldn't even imagine what kind of treatment he would receive in the palace.
She never knew what Qi Mo had experienced in the past.
She especially remembered that Qi Mo once said that the reason why he wore the silver iron mask for decades was because he promised a person that he would not take it off. Although she didn't know why Qi Mo took it off again now.
, but after hearing these things, she could probably guess that the person he promised to was probably his mother Hu.
Mrs. Hu must not be able to accept her affair with Hong Xing. The reason why she asked Qi Mo to wear that silver mask was because she felt that as her son, Qi Mo had no face to see others?
Zhong Qingye clenched his hands consciously, his teeth creaked, and he looked at the simple tombstone in front of him with hatred, and suddenly felt more disgusting.
How could there be such a mother in this world, who would implicate her own children when she did something? Are there any mothers like this?!
Fu Yan quietly watched the changing emotions on her face, and waited for a while before calmly saying: "What happens next is related to the Emperor, Miss Lian and Prince Rui. Do you want to continue listening?"
Zhong Qingye turned his head fiercely, "Listen! Why don't I listen?! This is not something that cannot be said!"
Naturally, in the eyes of Zhong Qingye, who came from the 21st century, what Hu did was completely blameless. She could not understand why Hu would belittle himself and Qi Mo so much. This was the difference in age and thinking.
Things that seemed outrageous to the ancients were taken for granted by Zhong Qingye.
From her world view, this incident was the late Emperor's fault from beginning to end. Even if he robbed others, he still didn't treat others well. Since he was affectionate, why should the Hu family be righteous?
If what happened back then happened to Zhong Qingye, she would never leave. Instead, she would endure the humiliation and bear the burden and stay. She would never give up until his harem was in chaos. All those who had wronged her would not end well!
This is the difference between Zhong Qingye and Hu. It’s not that the latter doesn’t resent, but she just doesn’t have the ability to support her to resent. But Zhong Qingye, if she is ruthless, she can do anything!
Probably when Zhong Qingye was thinking about this, a hint of anger naturally appeared in his eyebrows. Fu Yan was quite surprised, shook his head, and suddenly let out a long sigh and said: "There are many things in this world.
All times are controlled by the law. Looking back, I can only lament an 'evil'. What is supposed to come will always come, and no one can escape."
His expression when he said this was extremely sad. Zhong Qingye didn't quite understand his expression or his emotion when he said this. He just urged him to continue. Fu Yan shook his head and continued.
Time flowed slowly, and more than ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Hu was imprisoned in the orphanage, and could hardly see any outsiders except for the soldiers who escorted her and the people who delivered food three times a day. Qi Mo,
He also grew up little by little under the glare and ridicule of the people in the palace.
Because of his mother, the late emperor had always disliked him, and the cold treatment from others had shaped Qi Mo's unsmiling and indifferent temperament, which lasted until he started to go to school.
The school was the first step for Qi Mo to shine. He was very talented. He could understand many things that other people had to learn three or five times only once, and he could also draw inferences from one instance. He was highly appreciated by his teachers and was very popular.
Kuai Bian competed with Qi Mu, the biological son of the queen at that time, who was known as the smartest among all the princes.
The late emperor didn't notice this son until this time. Seeing that he was really smart, he paid a little attention. Unexpectedly, it made the queen uneasy, worried that Qi Mo would usurp the status of her biological son, which triggered a intrigue in the palace.
fight.
Fu Yan was not very sure when that incident began and when it ended. In short, Qi Mo had survived until now, but the empress died suddenly before the death of the late emperor.
Qi Mu was four years older than Qi Mo. He inherited his father's hobby and liked to leave the palace incognito when he had nothing to do. When he was nineteen years old, he met Miss Lian in a lakeside town and fell in love at first sight.
Falling in love.
Zhong Qingye thought that Qi Mu's appearance and knowledge must have captured Miss Lian's heart in one fell swoop, but Fu Yan shook his head with a gloomy expression, saying that at the beginning, Miss Lian actually didn't like Qi Mu, and she had something else in her heart.
one person.
This person was none other than Qi Mo, who came to her aid when he met her by chance when he was out of the palace on business that year!
When Zhong Qingye heard this, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Many things suddenly came to mind. At this time, she suddenly understood why the note Qi Mu sent her said it was related to Qi Mo.
Fu Yan also stopped talking and looked at her motionless.
After a long time, Zhong Qingye narrowed his eyes and murmured: "Did Qi Mo like her at that time?"
When asked this question, even Zhong Qingye herself didn't know what kind of answer she wanted, just like she didn't know what she felt when Fu Yan nodded lightly.
With a slight movement of his eyes, Zhong Qingye suddenly felt a little funny when he looked towards the shining lonely grave ten meters away. When he just learned about this Miss Lian from Qi Yankou, she could never have imagined that this woman like Su Marie would
Not only is Qi Mu's love in this life, but also Qi Mo's first love.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and a chill surged from her feet straight into her heart. She shivered from the cold, and subconsciously hugged her cloak tightly.
Fu Yan mocked him at the beginning, about the baby girl that Hu gave birth to in a ruined temple and whose whereabouts were unknown, the relationship between Qi Mo, Qi Mu and Miss Lian, and the concubine Hu who was inexplicably buried here...
Many fragments of details suddenly connected together in an instant. In her mind, there seemed to be a linear line that quickly interspersed these fragments and condensed into a complete piece at an extremely fast speed.
Zhong Qingye felt a chill all over his body, his pupils moved slightly as he stared at Fu Yan, his lips moved for a long time, but he didn't say a single word.
Fu Yan paid close attention to the expression on her face from beginning to end. Seeing that she understood it so quickly, he sighed softly in his heart. King Rui is King Rui after all. Chang Si is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he personally picked it.
The princess is also extremely smart and sharp.
It would be great if the girl was still here...
He sighed slowly, his eyes were filled with pain as deep as the sea. He no longer looked at Zhong Qingye, but turned his head motionlessly towards Miss Lian's grave. His voice was very soft and soft, and his speaking speed was slow. In front of Zhong Qingye, he sighed slowly.
His eardrums exploded like thunder.
"You are right...she is the baby girl that Hu gave birth to in a ruined temple and was taken away by her biological father and disappeared."
Zhong Qingye took a step back, his eyebrows raised uncontrollably, and his voice was almost sharp. "Then Qi Mo..."
"The one he fell in love with was his biological sister." Fu Yan suddenly smiled sarcastically and turned his head towards her. "Now you should understand that Mr. Hu committed suicide under unbearable circumstances, right?"
Zhong Qingye didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his first reaction was that he thought it was ridiculous!
This is such a clichéd and bloody plot. Two people who love each other are actually half-brothers and sisters who have been separated for many years?! This modern Korean drama has almost failed over and over again, but she has encountered it.
When did your luck become so good?
But Fa denied that in ancient times, the people with the biggest impact of such a plot were definitely not Qi Mo and Miss Lian, but the Hu family. Zhong Qingye could well imagine that he was already upset because of Hongxing's affair.
How frightened and bewildered Mrs. Hu must have been after knowing all this.
Her son actually fell in love with her daughter. If she thought about it with Hu's thinking, she would definitely think that God was punishing her. It is completely understandable that she committed suicide in grief and anger after the world collapsed.
Zhong Qingye could guess what happened next without Fu Yan continuing. Qi Mo, Miss Lian and Qi Mu must also know about it. The relationship between Qi Mo and Miss Lian was broken. Qi Mo chose not to mention it, and Lian
But the girl followed Qi Mu back to the palace.
Miss Lian obviously doesn't love Qi Mu, so Zhong Qingye can probably guess why she followed him into the palace. It was probably Qi Mu who threatened her with this incident. Miss Lian didn't want anyone to know that she and her biological brother
She fell in love, so she had no choice but to agree, but in the end she committed suicide in the palace and was buried on her beloved island.
The two mother and daughter were separated for more than ten years, but finally reunited in this way. It can be seen that things are unpredictable.
