Chapter 84 Letting Go of Obsession
Xu Yingying glanced at him. Was he looking for someone to take the blame? To cover up the reason for his failure?
"It's okay for sisters to talk nonsense. She went to see His Majesty the night before she left the palace. What did His Majesty say to her that made her decide to leave the palace?"
Emperor Gan's expression was ten thousand times uglier than before, and he looked at Xu Yingying as if he wanted to kill her.
Xu Yingying didn't care and picked up the teacup to drink.
The night before, he learned that King Jing was his biological son and that she and Song Mei'an were innocent.
He originally wanted to let this matter go, make it up to King Jing in the future, and not make things difficult for Song Mei'an anymore.
When he figured it out and decided to go to Chaoyun Palace to have a good talk with her, he was turned away.
But he didn't know what happened at that moment, he just wanted to tell her his thoughts as soon as possible.
But when he pushed the door open and didn't see her, anger and anxiety washed away all his reason.
Until Tao Yi replied, he was trembling all over, wishing he could tear the couple into pieces immediately.
I tolerated him for so long and this is how I repay him.
Song Mei'an could no longer stay.
It cut off all her thoughts.
The next day, she only left him a letter that read, "The mouse has a skin, but the man has no manners."
He was so angry that he tore the letter into pieces with shaking hands.
He was the emperor, the ruler of a country, yet he was humiliated like this.
Wang Ruomu's funeral was carried out according to the rituals for a noble concubine, and her burial was to be carried out in the imperial mausoleum.
In this way, she and Song Mei'an will never be able to meet in the underworld. She is his dead person when she is alive, and she will naturally kneel to him when she is dead.
He will be a member of the Ye family for life.
Song Mei'an's funeral was organized by Song's father and mother. It was a pity that the two old people had to send their son off at an early age without leaving them with even a thought.
Before leaving, the son talked with them all night long. He was reluctant to leave them, but he could no longer bear the pain of missing his beloved.
Song's father and mother knew that their son was going to leave them, and they knew they couldn't stop him, so they stopped trying to persuade him.
They understood the pain in their son's heart. His good fiancée was taken away by someone, and he was unable to resist. How could he not feel aggrieved?
At the beginning, the two families were only one step away from becoming relatives, and it was a foregone conclusion. Who could have thought that the emperor would suddenly appear and disrupt everything?
Ye Chenyin went to the Song Mansion to see Song Mei'an off, but did not stay long.
He thought that the last thing the two old people wanted to see was the Ye family.
As Ye Chenyin's princess, Rongyu was naturally qualified to enter the palace to attend the funeral, but was rejected by Ye Chenyin.
The cage his mother had wanted to escape from all her life, he didn't want her to stay there even after her death.
He carved a memorial tablet for Wang Ruomu in his house, and found a beautiful place with mountains and rivers to build a cenotaph for her. Song Mei'an was buried next to her.
I hope they can be together happily in the other world.
"Host, Ye Chenyin's blackening value is decreasing and is now only 50%."
???
Isn’t the death of Concubine Xian the beginning of Ye Chenyin’s true transformation into a darker person?
Why did it decrease?
"Your Highness, don't you hate the Emperor?"
Now he should hate the dog emperor especially.
"hatred."
Just say it, how can I not hate it?
......
Then what?
there is none left?
Just one word? No other ideas?
Rongyu was really expecting Ye Chenyin to say something, but Ye Chenyin just stood there silently.
"Host, you seem to want Ye Chenyin to turn evil?"
Yongyu suddenly stuttered, "Is there? I'm just curious."
A certain system: There is something fishy.
It’s no wonder Rong Yu thought too much. It’s because of this broken rule that the mission is completed once the blackening value drops to 30%.
Now Ye Chenyin only has 50% left. At this rate, he will be able to go home soon.
He felt depressed when he thought about the home where he was alone.
Half a month after the funeral, Ye Chenyin never entered the palace again, and even did not step out of the palace.
It is no exaggeration to say that the ministers in the court have almost forgotten what King Jing looks like.
After Emperor Gan knew that Ye Chenyin was his child, he still couldn't like him.
We just turned a blind eye to his absence from court, thinking that he was just missing his mother and had no intention of attending.
The Prince of Yan is the only powerful family in the court and can be said to be the only candidate for the crown prince.
However, many people suggested that the matter of appointing a crown prince could be a way to dispel the recent dejection in the court.
More bad news came from the palace.
Concubine Wu died.
Concubine Wu caused Concubine Xian to contract an epidemic, but Emperor Gan did not pursue the matter. He simply punished her with solitary confinement and let the matter go.
Although the Prince of Xiang died suddenly in the Heavenly Prison, Your Majesty still has feelings for her.
Her status remained the same as before, and Empress Xu was as calm as a chrysanthemum. She always disdained those despicable means and never took the initiative to plot against others.
I wouldn't have any thoughts about someone as miserable as Concubine Wu.
As long as you stop causing trouble, it is completely possible to live a peaceful and stable life.
But why did he suddenly become depressed and commit suicide?
Emperor Gan was unable to bear the successive blows and fainted during the morning court session.
The old ministers were so frightened that they called all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to take his pulse.
It was just excessive thinking, stimulation, and anger that led to the coma. As long as he wakes up, he will be fine.
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
Ye Chenyuan did not expect that Concubine Wu would suddenly pass away. When Jiu Nian, who was sent to investigate the situation, came back, he only said that Concubine Wu had not spoken for a long time and had been sitting alone in silence.
He even stopped eating for a few days afterwards, probably because he had lost the desire to live.
The first half of his life was full of style, but now such a gap will probably not be bearable for a few days.
But Ye Chenyuan felt sorry for his mother, as she was really the only one left in this deep palace.
The death of Concubine Xian was an unattainable obsession for Emperor Gan, but the death of Concubine Wu was a real blow to him.
In this world, only Concubine Wu can remember his original appearance.
They witnessed the sincerity of youth and the passion for love together.
Ting'er is dead, and there is no one to help remember her anymore.
Emperor Gan was in a trance when he saw Ting'er smiling at him. She was still as generous and cheerful as before, with heroic spirit revealed in her eyes and eyebrows.
That's his favorite.
In a daze, I couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
Ye Chenyuan looked at Emperor Gan and wondered if he was about to open his eyes: "Father?"
Emperor Gan opened his eyes and saw Ye Chenyuan, and gradually regained consciousness.
"Empress Wu?" Emperor Gan's voice was very soft, as if it was squeezed out of his throat with great force.
Ye Chenyuan lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him: "Father, I mourn for you."
How could she bear to leave like this?
Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. This was the first time Ye Chenyuan saw his father cry.
In his heart, his father has always been brave and great, but it turns out that he also has moments of weakness.
Wu Pingting's funeral was carried out according to the rituals for an imperial concubine. She was buried in the main mausoleum of the emperor and buried together with the emperor a hundred years later.
Rong Yu was not surprised by Wu Pingting's death. In the original novel, she had thoughts of suicide because she could not accept everything she had lost.
But Rongyu felt that she could be so cruel as to commit suicide because of Emperor Gan.
The original novel says that since Ye Chenming was imprisoned in the Sky Prison, many people in the palace have bullied her. She is a person who never gives up, so how could she allow others to bully her?
She was disappointed that Emperor Gan turned a blind eye to these things.
He knew exactly what kind of person she was, but he remained silent.
No matter how warm your heart is, it will naturally become cold if it is doused with cold water for a long time.
News of concubines' deaths came from the palace one after another, and many people speculated whether something unclean had entered the palace.
Everyone suggested asking a Taoist priest to get rid of the bad luck.
What they fear is that the emperor will suddenly die one day, leaving the country without a leader and falling into chaos.
"These people are really worrying about nothing. They don't think about the fact that all the people who died were killed because of the dog emperor."
The rumors became more and more outrageous, and some even said that it was the evil things that Rong Yu, the male princess, had attracted that killed so many people.
Rong Yu just wants to say what does it have to do with him?
This is the earliest internet explosion, right?
Rongyu saw that Ye Chenyin was depressed, so he suggested going to a villa outside the city to relax.
The two of them lay on the lounge chairs and admired the moon.
It’s the beginning of autumn and the weather is cooler, making people more alert.
"Your Highness, do you know the name of that star?"
Rong Yu pointed to the North Star and asked.
"Ziwei." Ye Chen said.
Rong Yu wanted to pretend, and murmured: "It is Ziwei Star."
I often hear about Ziwei Star in TV dramas, and I think it is a very difficult star to find.
"Your Highness, do you know that it is called the North Star in our area and is used to determine direction?"
“Is there a big difference between your place and here?”
Hearing this, Rong Yu became interested and sat up to face Ye Chenyin. "It's a huge difference. Where we are, there are tall buildings and no carriages. We have cars that can run on gas. We can also use mobile phones to make calls even from thousands of miles away, and we can use TVs to see the people we want to see. In short, it's very convenient."
The following sentence seemed to be said by Rong Yu to himself: "It would be nice if we could live there together."
Rong Yu seems to be looking forward to his future life. She takes him to learn new-age technology, teaches him about electronic products, takes him to play games, and goes to many interesting places together.
In short, life is very convenient.
"Is there any place you want to go?" Ye Chenyin looked at the stars in the sky.
"I heard there's a cherry blossom forest in the south that never fades year-round. I want to go there."
He also heard from the system that the cherry blossoms were undefeated all year round, which was really unimaginable.
Do the flowers bloom continuously? Or do they wither and bloom again after a while? Wouldn't that mean there will always be buds? Wouldn't that mean green leaves won't grow?
"I will take you to see it."
What did Ye Chenyin mean by this? Was he going to leave Tianjing City?
That’s right, now that the only attachment to Tianjing City is gone, there’s nothing left to be nostalgic about here.
Going out for a walk might help distract your mind and help you get out of sadness as soon as possible.
"Then I want to see more than just cherry blossoms. I also want to see the bamboo forests of Huaijiang River, the misty rain of Jiangnan River, the camellias and fruit trees of Baicun Village, the waterfalls of September Mountain, and try the Xiaoyaozui at Wangyue Tower. I also want to visit Mount Tai, Mount Hua, and Mount Emei."
Rong Yu listed several places he wanted to go in one breath.
Ye Chenyin nodded one by one and looked at him with a smile.
Now that my mother is gone, the only one in this world who can be called a family member is Rongyu.
It's too dangerous here, and if you stay here for too long you'll easily be infected by the foul smell.
Rong and the innocent heart should not stay here.
After deciding where to go, Rongyu has been smiling for the past few days.
He has already planned his route with the help of the system.
Go to the nearest Baicun first. You might be able to catch the first ripe fruits in this season.
You can't see camellia anymore, but I heard there's a large patch of them, and they look especially beautiful when they're in full bloom.
But there is plenty of time, and it will be the same when they come back.
Then I went to see the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. It happened to be the autumn rain, neither hot nor cold.
If you go to September Mountain to see the waterfall again, you must not go down to take a shower, otherwise it will definitely be more shocking to feel it up close.
Then we went to the bamboo forest of Huaijiang. The bamboo forest there is green all year round. It is said to be a hundred miles in size, and there are houses built in it.
They would just slowly turn back and start climbing the mountain one by one, and finally reach the Moon Watching Tower.
If you are lucky, you can drink a pot of Xiaoyaozui and see thousands of sky lanterns.
