More than twenty years have passed, he is old and the shadow of his past has long disappeared, but she still loves him.
But she understood that the man she had loved all her life had never cared about her. He made her his queen, gave her status and honor, and gave her everything except love.
He had loved Song Yanshu and Yun Shuanghua, but he had never loved her.
The Queen has been very magnanimous for a long time and never made things difficult for the Emperor because of which concubine he favored. But only she knew how much she wanted to coax all the women in the harem out of the palace and keep the Emperor alone forever.
The queen had always been in good control, but she lost control after Song Yanshu appeared. She wished Song Yanshu would die!
She knew that Yun Shuanghua also hated Song Yanshu, so she talked to her in private. The two had the same goal and jointly caused the tragedy thirteen years ago.
The emperor was seriously ill, and the concubines, princesses and princes came to visit one after another, but the queen drove them away on the grounds that "the emperor needs to rest and should not be disturbed."
Even when the prince came, the queen turned him away.
So some people began to wonder whether the emperor was really just so seriously ill, or whether he was already controlled by the queen.
But suspicion is suspicion. With no evidence and no power, they can do nothing but wait.
During these few hours of coma, he dreamed of Song Yanshu, meeting her for the first time at Maple Grove Villa, then wandering around the world with her, and then marrying her in the palace. Those best memories kept replaying in his mind.
It's becoming clearer and clearer.
When he was immersed in joy, everything in front of him suddenly disappeared. He stood alone and fell into darkness for an instant. Then he opened his eyes and saw his own palace that had been deserted for more than ten years.
The Queen's voice made him wake up completely. Yes, Song Yanshu was dead. She had been given death by him more than ten years ago. If there was a regret medicine in this world, then he would spend everything he had to get it.
"Where is Concubine Yun? I want to see her." The first thing he did when he woke up was naturally to find the real culprit who had deceived him for more than ten years.
The queen was afraid that Concubine Yun Gui would betray her, so she didn't want the emperor to see her, so she persuaded her: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that you need to rest and not be stimulated anymore. Can Concubine Yun see you another day?"
The emperor struggled to sit up, minding his own business, and shouted weakly: "I want to see Concubine Yun, go and bring her here!"
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Won't these things be the same in the future?" The queen supported him and tried to push him back to lie down.
But the emperor refused and got a little angry.
"I said that I want to see Concubine Yun. Go and bring her here. Don't you understand? I am the emperor. Do you listen to me or the empress?"
The queen had no choice but to obey the emperor's wishes and send someone to bring Concubine Yun here.
Concubine Yun Guifei has been locked up in Qingyun Palace since last night. She knows that she has reached the end. She neither cries nor makes a fuss. She just sits paralyzed on the ground, like a death row prisoner, waiting quietly.
The moment he rushed to the execution ground.
When she was brought to the entrance of Qingxin Hall, the queen stopped her. She looked at her indifferently, waved her hands and said in a low voice: "Pay attention to your words, what should be said and what should not be said. I hope you will understand."
clear.
Otherwise, your natal family and your daughter who is far away in Dongchen will follow you to hell."
Concubine Yun Guifei raised her eyelids numbly, nodded dumbly, and followed the palace people in.
The palace was eerily quiet. Concubine Yun Gui could hear her own footsteps every step she took. She suddenly began to feel fear, as if she was walking on the edge of a cliff, and if she went further, she would reach an abyss.
Arriving in front of the dragon bed, she slowly knelt down and said, "I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty!"
The emperor opened his eyes and stared at Concubine Yun Gui's face, as if he wanted to see through her and see clearly what kind of soul lived inside.
He always thought that the person he knew best was her and the person he could trust the most was her, but he didn't expect that it was she who had lied to him for so many years.
"I still remember that when I was a child, at a palace banquet, I was wrongly accused of stealing something and I couldn't defend myself. It was you who stood up and told me what you saw to clear my name.
Since then, I have firmly believed that you are a kind and just good girl, and I have no doubt in you. No matter at any time, I believe that you will not harm others, let alone lie to me.
I have never had the slightest doubt about you for decades. It was not until a few days ago that Ling'er brought Nanny Lin to talk to me that I began to recall everything that happened back then and became suspicious of you.
But while I was doubting you, I was also constantly asking myself, you have stood up for me and been with me for decades, but I doubt you, am I wrong? So I decided to put everything aside and never do it again.
Think about it.
However, I soon heard what you said.
Do you know? When I heard it, I really couldn't believe that those words actually came from your mouth. The gentle and kind-hearted Concubine Yun turned out to be so ugly in her true face."
Concubine Yun Guifei lowered her head silently, listening to the emperor's words word for word, sneering in her heart. So what if we have been together for decades? In your heart, isn't that the only bitch Song Yanshu?
In the past ten years, many times while sleeping in the same bed, she heard the emperor shouting the words "Song Yanshu" in his sleep in the middle of the night. Concubine Yun Guifei felt that she was going crazy with jealousy.
Why does Song Yanshu have to fight with her even after her death?
Thinking of this, Concubine Yun Guifei raised her head and said coldly: "I have always been such a person, sinister and vicious, with a vicious heart. It is the emperor who knows people poorly and misjudged me."
The emperor couldn't help but be startled. He just felt that the person in front of him was so strange. "You, have you not shown any sign of repentance for so many years?"
"Repent?" Concubine Yun Gui suddenly laughed, "Why should I regret it? Song Yanshu robbed my things, shouldn't she return them to me?
You and I have had a very good relationship since childhood. We could have been a very loving couple, but Song Yanshu happened to appear. She took away your love and left me with nothing. She should have died long ago!
I should have killed her when she entered the palace, so I wouldn't have had to suffer for so many years!"
The emperor immediately became furious and slapped him away. "You are really crazy!"
Concubine Yun Gui fell to the ground, with blood bleeding from the corner of her mouth. Half of her face was in burning pain and slowly swollen. But she just touched her cheek, straightened her back and knelt back.
He said very calmly: "I am crazy. I went crazy the day the emperor brought Song Yanshu into the palace."
