Chapter 35 What to do
"Xin'er, Huai'er, it's time to eat!"
When her mother called her affectionately, Wu Xin took her sister's hand and ran home, laughing and talking happily.
Wu Xin sat down at the dining table, looked at the table full of delicacies from land and sea, swallowed his saliva, and began to eat with relish.
Her mother and father looked at her kindly, with smiles in their eyes. Her sister also smiled at her. Wu Xin's little head was filled with questions. She asked, "Mom, Dad, Sister, are we eating?"
The three of them then withdrew their gaze and started to eat dinner. Wu Xin was in the growing period and ate a lot. He ate with great concentration. Suddenly, he looked up and saw that his mother and father were gone, and another person was coaxing his sister.
Wu Xin was terrified and wanted to shout out to stop them, but she couldn't speak. Her face turned red with anxiety until her sister smiled and handed her hand to the man. She was terrified and burst into tears. The two people in front of her seemed not to notice her predicament and were still talking and laughing.
Wu Xin grabbed her sister's sleeve and tried to pull it away, but she saw another person looking at her for a moment. Her whole body trembled instantly, and she even forgot her fear and dared not move rashly again.
It was not until my sister walked out the door and told me to "be happy" that the man approached me. Looking at the man's face, which was not too bad, I compromised in my heart. Since there was no hope of asking for help, I might as well live a good life and look for a good opportunity.
Wu Xin slowly opened her eyes, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, and her sleepiness disappeared.
He turned his head to look at the woman sleeping beside him, thought about the first half of his life, and suddenly smiled sadly. What a ridiculous life.
She was kidnapped and raped. The man took advantage of his feelings for her and did whatever he wanted. She was unable to save herself. Until she came to this palace, she felt completely hopeless.
The palace was heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without the emperor’s oral instructions.
This time, I completely gave up the thought of asking for help.
Come to think of it, from the time she ascended the throne, established her as queen, and got married until now, she has actually paid a lot of attention to me.
Sitting on the throne of the mother of the country, I felt a little comforted in my heart. Looking at the person beside me, I thought: Although she is not a good person, I have to say that she is a wise ruler. For the sake of this world, I should endure it.
Thinking of his sister who was staying with her lover, he did not see through this man's hypocrisy and felt sad in his heart. Although he had great power in this palace, he was not living a happy life.
At worst, when you can’t bear it anymore, just die!
A fierce look flashed in Wu Xin's eyes. Suddenly, the person next to him turned over and asked with hazy eyes, "Xin'er, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Wu Xin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said calmly, "Don't call me Xin'er!"
Li Liuxiu was startled for a moment, perhaps because she was physically and mentally exhausted from the complicated government affairs during the day, but after a moment she fell into a deep sleep again. Wu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, having escaped a disaster.
I had originally wanted to wait for this man to abdicate and then die with her.
Who would have thought that the disaster would last for a thousand years, and Li Liuxiu changed the rules of his ancestors and was re-elected for a full thirty years.
Thirty years later, Li Liuxiu sat by the bed, looking at the gray-haired Wu Xin at the head of the bed, her heart aching. Wu Xin also looked at her and said, "Your Majesty, I have dedicated my life to the people of the world. Now my time has come. Please let me go."
Wu Xin was imprisoned by Li Liuxiu for his entire life, and died in depression.
After the Queen's death, the Emperor's temperament changed drastically. He first revealed that he had illegally detained Princess Li Yao thirty years ago, and then changed the old rule that the term of office of an official could not be renewed after ten years, and improved it with another clause that the current Emperor had no right to change this rule.
He then abdicated and found Wu Huai and his wife Hu Yueqin.
Li Liuxiu was famous throughout his life, but lost his integrity in his later years. History books record him as a wise ruler but a man without humanity.
Wu Huai, nearly sixty years old, stared at his sister's coffin, tears streaming down his face. He pointed at Li Liuxiu and said, "Get out of here! Turn yourself in! Otherwise, I'll lose control and chop you down!"
Li Liuxiu sighed endlessly. She lost her father when she was young, which was a deformed life. How positive could her values be?
Wu Huai was still crying, "Xin'er, wuwuwu, I thought you found a good family, but I didn't expect it to be like this. My poor sister, wuwuwu."
Li Liuxiu leaned forward and walked out the door, heading towards the government office. To this day, she still did not regret the choice she made that day, even after being sentenced to life imprisonment.
The wicked will suffer the consequences of their own actions, which may be a faint consolation to the innocent people who died.
That year, there was chaos in Chang'an City.
The author has something to say:
It can be regarded as an explanation for this BE couple and also for the lovely ones.
I'm not sure if they can be considered a couple, but love should be a two-way thing, not just one person giving, nor just one person being stubborn. I hope you will never meet someone like Li Liuxiu in your life.
