"It has been stated to the public that the eldest brother is ill and should be buried in the inner mausoleum. I have already informed the soldiers who were present. Anyone who dares to reveal what happened today will be executed. So my father does not have to worry about anyone.
I will question that you are definitely not the emperor who had a palace coup while he was in power."
Yi Huaiyu's tone was full of sarcasm, but the dignified Emperor Yaoguo could only endure it. In addition to enduring it, he also had to write the edict stroke by stroke with trembling hands.
The eldest prince is ill and the crown prince's position is vacant. The second prince has made outstanding achievements in protecting the family and the country and is deeply supported by the people. Therefore, he deserves to be succeeded by the second prince.
"Write, write it..." When he handed the edict to Yi Huaiyu with both hands, the emperor was still trembling.
"Thank you, Father." Yi Huaiyu took the edict expressionlessly, glanced at it and threw it to Ou Suiliang casually, "Take it and read it to the court on a good and auspicious day in two days. If I lose it, I will settle the account with you."
How could he afford to pay for the loss of such an important thing? Ou Suiliang smiled helplessly, and just as he carefully put the edict away, repeated exclamations suddenly came from outside the royal study.
"Your Majesty! Your Highness! It's not good, it's not good! There's a fire in the Xiguang Palace!"
Yi Huaiyu's face suddenly changed. The little eunuch who didn't wait for the announcement said his words and quickly rushed out of the imperial study room - Xiguang Palace is where he lives. Although others were in the imperial study room at this time, Su Shiyun and Sima Tulan were still in the palace.
!
When he was out of breath and ran back to the Xiguang Palace, the fire that reached the sky was already unstoppable. Yi Huaiyu looked around, but the dazed Sima Tulan was still there, but Su Shiyun and the child were nowhere to be seen.
"Bring it!" He grabbed the basin from the little eunuch's hand and poured it on himself. Yi Huaiyu rushed into the fire like crazy and went straight to the side hall where Su Shiyun lived, leaving Sima Tulan hoarse behind him.
When you call him, he just does it and doesn't listen.
He finally got what he wanted and was in the world. All this was agreed with her a long time ago. Now that his dream has come true, how can she leave him?!
The tongue of flames could not stop his firm steps, and the heat and scorching could not make Yi Huaiyu give up. Finally, he groped into Su Shiyun's room in the firelight. This room was full of memories of his affection for Su Shiyun, even with his eyes closed.
Yi Huaiyu was frightened to find the location of the bedroom, kick down the wooden door that was engulfed in fire, and find Su Shiyun motionless on the bed.
"Yun'er? Yun'er!" She called out several times, but Su Shiyun only moved her eyelids and had no other reaction.
As long as people are still alive, that's fine.
Yi Huaiyu didn't care to think about it, he picked up Su Shiyun and rushed out of the room. Before he could take out his hind legs, the shrill cry of a baby came from the room next to him. Almost without hesitation, Yi Huaiyu turned around and ran away, but was caught by
The house that had been burned for too long by the fire could no longer bear its weight. Just when Yi Huaiyu was about to approach the door, the beams suddenly broke and the whole house collapsed instantly.
For a moment, my breath froze and my heart felt like a knife.
The room is the flesh and blood of him and Su Shiyun, the ups and downs of her sorrow and joy. Without this child, Su Shiyun will definitely be devastated, and he will hate himself for the rest of his life. But he is not immortal and has no way to recover.
How can we rush into the collapsing ruins and rescue our beloved son?
During the hesitation, the weak cries gradually disappeared, gritted his teeth, and with a cruel heart, Yi Huaiyu hugged Su Shiyun and fled from the sea of fire.
If they can't keep the child, then at least keep her - as long as Su Shiyun is still alive, don't they have plenty of opportunities to have more children? Even if not, as long as she is still alive, he has nothing else to ask for.
A fire overnight completely burned the Xiguang Palace. Because the palace was so noisy that day, the servants all slept late, so the only person who died in the fire was Yi Huaiyu's first child.
That day, Yi Huaiyu, who had never believed in strange powers or gods, wondered for the first time whether there was really a theory of karma in this world. Otherwise, why would God bring joy and sorrow to him at the same time? Why did he not get the country he had dreamed of after finally getting it?
When they share this happiness with the woman they love most, will the crystallization of their relationship leave this world?
He hadn't even taken a closer look at the child or heard the child call him daddy. The bond between father and son was so easily broken.
Su Shiyun, who didn't wake up until dusk the next day, had no idea about the fire. When she asked blankly why she was in a strange room, all the female eunuchs in the room shed tears sadly.
"Yun'er, I will have many, many children in the future. Just pretend that Si'er has never been born, okay?" She told the cruel truth with all her heart. While Su Shiyun sobbed and broke into her heart, Yi Huaiyu
He could no longer maintain his composure, his arms tightly hugged his wife who was in pain, and her eyes were as red as blood.
For the next half month, Su Shiyun was either soaked in tears or in a daze as if she had lost her soul. Yi Huaiyu stayed with her every step of the way, for fear that she would get carried away and commit suicide. This situation lasted until one morning.
Following his habit of the past few days, after Su Shiyun fell asleep the night before, Yi Huaiyu went to the temporary desk outside to deal with matters. At dawn, the door in the bedroom suddenly creaked open.
"Yun'er? Why did you get up so early?" Yi Huaiyu's eyes were immediately shocked as he stretched and raised his head.
I can't remember how long it has been since Su Shiyun dressed up, but today she abnormally put on her old clothes, put on heavy makeup and light rouge, and even though there was still a trace of haggard hidden under her clear brows, the lost look she had before was difficult to find.
Looking for traces.
Yi Huaiyu secretly raised his voice and said quietly, hiding his surprise: "Come and sit down. Are you hungry? If so, I'll ask the kitchen to cook some porridge and side dishes to bring over."
"I'm not hungry, but I can't sleep. It seems like I have something on my mind." Su Shiyun shook her head, with a look of confusion in her eyes, "I don't know what's going on, I'm a little tired, and I feel inexplicably uncomfortable, as if... I feel lost.
It's something that can never be found again. Maybe I had a nightmare last night and forgot about it."
"When you're tired, rest more. Look, how thin are you now? These clothes are old and don't fit. Don't wear them again. Let the internal affairs room pull out some new sets this afternoon. I'll accompany you to pick out the materials."
Yi Huaiyu held Su Shiyun's slender waist distressedly, with a rather complaining tone.
"Old? Where is it old? I've only worn this dress two or three times since it was made!" Su Shiyun frowned slightly, lowered her head and looked back and forth, and became even more surprised, "Hey, what happened? Last month
It fit just fine when I tried it on, but it has become so loose after being in the closet for a few days...it must be that the material is not good, and I need to pay more attention to it in the future."
Women always care about their figure or clothes, and Su Shiyun was no exception. However, when she raised her head after sighing a lot, she found that Yi Huaiyu did not listen carefully to her words, but stared at her blankly.
Yi Huaiyu clearly remembered that this dress was made by Su Shiyun before she was pregnant. It was the dress that she wore the most after she became pregnant, definitely more than two or three times; and it had been a year since Su Shiyun tried on this dress.
