Empty White

"Sister is angry with brother and doesn't want mother anymore..."

"My mother helped my brother deceive me. I couldn't bear it. My brother was stubborn, and I wasn't a pushover. Because of He Nu and Li Nu, my mother was often heartbroken..."

"The Queen Mother... cried and beat my brother..."

Princess Leyang told me while crying.

Empress Dowager Feng punished the current emperor and made the Li family saint kneel in the Sanqing Palace.

"My brother initially refused, but after kneeling for a day and a night, he finally gave in. The Emperor swore an oath in blood before the ancestors. He said that an Emperor shouldn't be attached to just one person. From now on, he would only be the Emperor of the Tian family, only the Emperor of the Li family. His Majesty changed his mind and said that from now on, he would never again make things difficult for my sister..."

"Sister, brother will let you go..."

A Jiang cried with joy and told me with a smile.

"really?"

I exclaimed in doubt.

"real."

Princess Leyang swore to heaven.

"Even Mother is crying... This time, Mother and Brother are definitely not lying to Sister..."

The Empress Dowager beat He Nu, but Empress Dowager Feng never shed tears easily.

Xingqing Palace can scold Yongle Palace for me.

My mother cried for me, and I knew that the relationship between her and me was far from perfect.

I believe every word that Ajahn said.

As for that tyrant emperor, his oaths, his bloodshed, I won't believe a single word of it.

"The Saint's decree is to return everything in Chang'an City, everything that belongs to my sister, to my sister."

Ajahn announced the emperor's decree.

everything……

Everything in Chang'an City is mine.

All returned to me.

Your Majesty has divine power. A piece of imperial edict can take away everything from me, and a joke can return it all.

Everything I have, including the Concubine Dowager and Zhaoyang.

Can Your Majesty bring the dead back to life?

Can he return human lives?

No…he can’t.

Your Majesty cannot do it, the sage cannot do it, and the lord cannot do it.

No one can.

"Sister, you can go back to Chang'an without any worries."

Ajahn's face was filled with joy.

She felt that Chang'an, Chang'an, Tai Chi Tai Chi, everything was over...

"Princess Jinyang will leave the capital soon."

I changed the subject.

"That day, I was attending the funeral of the Concubine Dowager and the Princess. Princess Jinyang helped me escape, and the Princess injured Your Majesty, offending His Majesty... I was outside Chang'an, causing the Princess to flee. The Princess was demoted along with her husband, and I must have left the temple to see her off."

I swear.

"The saint said to forgive me, to let me go, but I can't believe it completely... On the day the princess leaves the capital, I will quietly follow her to express my gratitude for her kindness..."

I informed A Jiang that when she returned to Taiji Palace, if the Saint asked several questions, I would ask Princess Leyang to relay my words to her brother, the Emperor, word for word.

I once again promised Princess Leyang that if the saint's oath is true, I will set off back to Chang'an.

"good!"

Ajahn and I made an agreement.

Princess Jinyang, on the day that Prince Consort Wei left the capital, I did not follow my words and leave the temple to see him off.

That afternoon, Princesses Huayang and Anyang came to Guanyin Temple together.

Huayang laughed so hard that he fell backwards, and Anyang laughed while touching his stomach.

They told me that when Jin Yang left the capital, all the ladies of the Li family, including the sisters, went to the outskirts of Chang'an to see Zi Mei off, except for Princess Yi Yang of Yinyue Palace...

Princess Yi Yang would only leave Yinyue Palace when there was a great joy or great sorrow in the Li family.

Of course, this day will inevitably include their saint who does not keep his word.

"Big brother led six armies to capture my sister. He searched everywhere for the princess's procession and the Li family's carriage, but didn't he ever see a single glimpse of you?"

Meimei told me.

Li Wanwan clapped her hands and laughed loudly, "The imperial guards left the city, and the tyrant emperor rode out of Chang'an, whipping his horse. He made Ah Jiang burst into tears, and her little face turned red. She cried, made a scene, and beat and scolded the emperor..."

The oaths of the Son of Heaven are all lies, and the words of the Emperor are all empty talk.

A Jiang, it’s natural to cry.

Her brother, her royal brother, repeatedly deceived and exploited her.

"Her brother, Ajahn Tsang, was a good emperor admired by all the people."

I said.

That day, Princess Leyang deceived the emperor and her brother deceived her sister.

Deceiving each other and blaming each other.

One was crying, the other was angry.

"He Nu, he missed and didn't catch you. He was so angry that he vomited blood all over A Jiang..."

Princess Huayang told me.

That day, Jin Yang left and the saint caused a great disturbance inside and outside Chang'an.

"Leaving Chang'an City is a reward, not a punishment, for me."

These words were said by Princess Jinyang.

She said this to the saint and also to me.

The current emperor is extremely absurd. Princess Jinyang asked Chang'an about it for the last time before leaving the capital.

She bid farewell to the emperor, leaving only one question before leaving.

The princess was half angry and half regretful. She questioned the heavens and the earth, and cried to the late emperor, "Father, was it right or wrong for you to hand over the country to He Nu?"

Whether it is right or wrong, the emperor does not know, the late emperor does not know, Chang'an does not know, no one in the Li family knows, Jinyang does not know, and I don't know even more.

There is a clear distinction between Jin Yang and me. The hatred for killing my relatives cannot be resolved in this life. She repaid the hatred with kindness and showed me kindness. I will never forget her great kindness.

No thanks for the great favor.

I am trapped in the Zen temple and cannot move. The emperor has sent her out of the capital. In this case, I will let the emperor send out six armies to see her off.

After Jin Yang left, Guanyin Temple had no visitors for several days.

One spring day, Princess Leyang came crying.

She told me that her brother was sick...

The emperor fell off his horse and had a high fever that wouldn't go away.

"My brother is sick, but he still misses me..."

A Jiang said crying.

The saint, when he was awake or dreaming, had only two things in his life: one was to move the capital to Luoyang, and the other was to torture me.

The Son of Heaven only loves his world and hates me who has nothing to do with him.

"For my sister's sake, Mother said she would no longer care about my brother. She also said that you can just let him make a fuss... She would no longer care..."

"My brother is so pitiful..."

Ajahn cried incessantly.

Is the emperor pitiful?

I think it's ridiculous.

"Ajiang, why did you help my brother deceive my sister?"

I asked Princess Leyang.

Ajahn stopped talking and looked at me while wiping away her tears.

Her brother taught her, she said.

"My royal brother will never let my sister go. Chang'an can't beat Taiji, so who can surpass the Emperor of the Li family?"

Unable to persuade the emperor, A Jiang sighed, she could only persuade me.

"How can a sister forgive her brother?"

The victim is already in the underworld and has refused to forgive. How can I forgive the murderer on behalf of the princess dowager?

"There's no way to end the feud between him and me, whether in life or death... unless my mother, Hime-hime, comes back to life..."

I said with my back turned.

"The dead cannot be resurrected."

Ajahn cried loudly.

"On one side is my brother, and on the other side is my sister. Who should I help? What should I do? Do I have to accompany the Concubine Dowager and Zhaoyang before you can reconcile?"

The princess wept bitterly.

I turned around and saw A Jiang crying like a tearful person.

"Did your brother teach you this?"

I asked Ajahn.

The princess stopped crying and her complexion returned to normal. She said softly, "Yes."

He used threats and bribes to coerce his own sister, using every possible means.

"Your brother, the Son of Heaven, is truly an emperor!"

I gritted my teeth and read every word.

That day, Princess Leyang failed to bring me back to the palace as ordered by the emperor. She returned to Taiji Palace with only these words of mine.

Hair can be reborn after it is broken, but people cannot be reborn after they die.

After Ajahn left, he did not come back for several days.

I am in Guanyin Zen Temple, where everything is calm and peaceful, waiting for new life to begin.

I remember that spring day was very ordinary.

Outside the city of Chang'an, the Guanyin Temple of the Princess of Liang welcomed a rare guest.

This rare guest has never left Chang'an City for more than ten years.

That day, she came for me, she came specifically for me.

As dusk fades, the red sun sets in the sky, casting a shadow on the moon.

In the twilight of spring that year, Princess Yi Yang Li Yinyue came to Guanyin Temple to visit me.

Accompanying her on the journey was Princess Shouyang Li Jiaojiao.
