The dream was a little blurry, as if separated by a layer of veil, but the furnishings in the room made him feel a little familiar.
This is Kunning Palace...where the queen lives.
So, he is in the Queen's Palace?
While hesitating and doubting, he suddenly saw a child about five or six years old sitting there in front of him, with tears in his eyes. With a high-pitched cry, Emperor Xuanping realized that the little prince in front of him might be
Himself when he was young.
Because the eunuch who suddenly appeared called him "Eighth Prince". Before he ascended the throne of God, he was the Eighth Prince in the palace.
But what made him so sure was that the clothes the little prince was wearing were the ones he wore when he was a child. He would never be wrong about this.
"Your Highness the Eighth Prince, Concubine Chu is here to see you." The eunuch said softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything.
When Emperor Xuanping saw his young self, he hurriedly wiped away his tears and asked the eunuch to invite Concubine Chu in.
Concubine Chu is now Concubine Chu.
I saw Mrs. Chu pushing open the door and entering, holding a food box in her hand and saying something to her young self.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Emperor Xuanping finally remembered that that year, his eldest brother suddenly contracted a cold and fell ill. He was bedridden for a time. He felt very scared. He was afraid that his eldest brother would not recover and would not be able to play with him in the future. He felt that
very sad.
After Mrs. Chu came in, she saw that he was crying, so she said some gentle and considerate words.
Although Emperor Xuanping had forgotten these words now, when he heard them again, he remembered them one by one and found out that they were indeed what he said.
After Concubine Chu comforted him for a moment, she suddenly took out a food box and told him that the food box contained medicinal meals prepared for the eldest brother. She went to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the prescription from the Imperial Doctor...
Emperor Xuanping suddenly frowned when he heard this.
Because of this, it seemed that he had only spoken it from Ning Bin recently.
The medicinal diet brought by Ning Bin was poisonous and contained a large amount of arsenic, which almost killed Xiao Jiuer.
For some reason, Emperor Xuanping suddenly felt suffocated and uncomfortable. He told himself that all this was a coincidence. Concubine Chu was so kind, how could she give him poisonous medicinal food?
However, everything that happened next seemed to slap him hard in the face.
He listened to Concubine Chu's advice and fed the medicated food to the eldest brother.
The eldest brother trusted him so much that he never doubted him. However, after taking the medicinal food, he began to vomit blood, and his eyes, mouth, and nose were all bleeding...
Emperor Xuanping could only cry when he saw his young and confused self, but he didn't know what happened. He just thought that his elder brother's condition was getting worse.
After a few more days of worry, the queen mother saw him again and told him with a cold expression that the eldest brother was dead and died of the cold.
The queen mother was so sad that she said she didn't want to see him.
Emperor Xuanping only thought that his mother had always liked his eldest brother, so he was taken away by his father and handed over to Concubine Chu.
Scenes of dreams like this happened before my eyes.
Emperor Xuanping didn't know what this meant when he was six years old, but now he understands.
Emperor Xuanping held his chest in pain, unable to accept it.
He thought, this is not real, absolutely not, this is just a dream...
And this long dream is not over yet.
Next, he saw his mother quarreling with his father. The father used him to blackmail his mother, asking his mother to let Concubine Chu go and not avenge her eldest brother. Otherwise, he would be sentenced to death for poisoning her brother.
This made Emperor Xuanping even more unbelievable.
Is this still the wise and loving father in his memory?
This is simply a heartless devil!
Are his two sons less important than a poisonous woman who poisoned her parents and children?
Emperor Xuanping subconsciously wanted his mother not to agree to his father's promise, but her mother endured it for him.
Emperor Xuanping burst into tears.
After a night of long, complicated and heart-wrenching nightmares, Emperor Xuanping woke up with tears in his eyes beside Yu Jiujiu's bed.
By this time, the sky was already bright.
Emperor Xuanping looked at the peaceful sleeping face of the little nipple, and thought of the dream last night. He felt that he had been betrayed by his loved ones, but more importantly, he was hurting his loved ones by all kinds of ignorant and stupid actions, which made him still panting in pain.
Can't help but feel angry.
"Your Majesty, you're awake. It's getting late and it's time to go to court." At this time, Zhou Dafu, who was standing guard outside, heard the noise and hurriedly came in quietly, speaking in a low voice, for fear of disturbing others.
Yu Jiujiu in his sleep.
"You stayed here all night?" Emperor Xuanping looked at him and asked with a hint of lucky expectation in his expression.
He hoped that last night's dream was false.
He hoped that everything in the dream was not true...
"In response to your Majesty's words, yes." Zhou Dafu replied respectfully.
"Today, I feel a little unwell, so I won't go to court in the morning." Emperor Xuanping rubbed his red eyes, which were not well rested. He was exhausted, but after a long time, he suddenly said, "Princess Zhao has come to the palace. I have something to do."
Have to ask her."
As soon as Emperor Xuanping left Zhongcui Palace, tired and heartbroken, Yu Jiu Jiu opened his eyes.
She looked at the emperor's father's leaving back, lowered her eyes guiltily, and murmured: "Dad, forgive Jiu Jiu, Jiu Jiu didn't mean to hurt dad, it's just that dad has to truly grow up, and,
The Royal Grandmother is really feeling so bitter, Jiujiu really can’t tolerate this person like Princess Chu continuing to hang around in front of the Royal Grandmother!”
As soon as yesterday's plan failed, she immediately launched this second plan.
Yes, Concubine Chu fell into her trap and still had a back-up plan, so she escaped completely. How could she not have a back-up plan?
She had prepared everything long ago.
If the first plan had been successful in catching Concubine Chu, it would have been enough to take away half of her life if it was found out that Concubine Chu intended to poison Yu Jiujiu.
As long as Emperor Xuanping was disappointed with Concubine Chu, and then used Concubine Chu to kill Wen Baiyi's mother and Chu Hanchen's parents and brothers, it would be enough to completely lose the remaining half of Concubine Chu's life.
But Yu Jiujiu didn't want to use this second option. Putting aside the trouble, it would be too cruel to let the emperor's father experience the events of his childhood in his dream.
But the first plan failed.
So, the second plan is enabled.
As for last night, it wasn't that the emperor's father was really dreaming, but the incense in the incense burner was a drug that made the emperor's father half awake and half asleep. As for what he thought was what he saw in a dream, it was because Yu Jiujiu had worked hard.
After a long time, I found someone to rehearse it.
the other side.
After Emperor Xuanping postponed today's morning court and left, he returned to the Yangxin Hall. While he closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the arrival of the eldest princess, he still recalled the dream last night with some pain.
That dream, so real, completely overlapped with those in his memory that had gradually become blurred over time or even completely forgotten because he was young and ignorant.
Is it really possible to have such a dream in such a complete way?
