Qu Zhaoheng's feelings towards Concubine Yun Shu are very complicated, and it is difficult to say whether love or hatred is deeper in his heart.
Ever since he could remember, he knew that he was different from other children. As long as he wanted, he could clearly recall every detail of his past life.
The past events happened to him as if they happened yesterday.
His father, mother and the palace ladies said that he was a rare genius in the world. They brought many books for him to study, but who could understand his pain?
When he was a child, he didn't know how to control himself and always couldn't help recalling the past, happy, uncomfortable, painful, aggrieved... a lot of complicated things made him irritable.
He once naively told his father and mother that he did not want this unique memory.
But they all said that having a photographic memory is a blessing that others cannot even ask for, so he should cherish the gift given to him by God.
He received similar answers every time, and he realized that no one could understand his sadness.
When he was alone, he always wondered why he should have this blessing?
Why can't he be like his other brothers?
This unique memory made the young boy realize that his mother did not seem to care about him and his sister as much as other concubines.
He once lay on the wall of Xian'ya Palace and watched Empress Wen next door playing with her little brother every day. Now Empress Wen and her little brother have turned into dry bones, and no one has told him that his mother once held him in her arms when he was young.
Empress Wen would tell stories, hum songs, and read poems to her little brother, something her mother had never done before.
In his memory, which was as clear as if it were yesterday, except for the time when his father came to Xian'ya Palace, his mother would call them out, but at other times, his mother rarely took the initiative to ask to see them.
The relationship between the mother and her two children is actually very distant.
These alone are not enough to prove that his mother does not love them. It is just like this now. Although he is disappointed that his mother does not love them as much as other concubines, he will not hate her.
What made him most uncomfortable was that his mother would make him or his sister sick every now and then, so as to lure his father to the Xian'ya Palace.
Is it so important whether my father comes to Xian'ya Palace or not?
The little children did not understand why their father would rather let them suffer than let the emperor come to Xian'ya Palace. The little brother next door was born weak, and Empress Wen prayed every day that the little brother would not get sick.
He and his sister were healthy and well, but their mother wanted to make them sick.
Every time he thought of the weird little details he could never forget, he couldn't help but wonder if he became as frail and sickly as his little brother, would his mother not let him get sick again?
Later, he really became weak and sickly, but his mother would not let him get sick again.
After he became fragile, his father and mother cared about him more at first, and he was happy to receive such attention, but soon his mother changed.
When his mother found out that his health was not good and he would not live long, she gave up on him and rarely visited Beiyi. She instead planned to have another prince.
Unfortunately, after six or seven years of hard work, his mother still only has this one son.
Now that they have another son, the mother still thinks it is too much.
The Seventh Prince curled his lips unconsciously, thinking of the new clothes he received from the Xian Ya Palace that day in Beiyi.
He was so stupid that he naively and foolishly gambled on the mother's love, wore the dress, and then fell seriously ill.
The Seventh Prince couldn't let go of his innocent younger brother who grew up outside the palace, had never seen the cruelty of the palace, suffered a shock upon returning, and was nearly poisoned.
Perhaps it was the twins' telepathy that made the Seventh Prince firmly believe that his returning brother was on the same side as him.
This is the person closest to him by blood, he will protect him.
"If mother asks you to go to Xianya Palace, don't go alone. I will accompany you."
The mother probably doesn't care about them. She only cares about that position. The seventh prince is afraid that Yan Cheng will be tricked.
——This brother did not seem to be angry that his return had caused him to lose the possibility of becoming the crown prince, but rather cared about him very much.
——It seems that he is quite wary of Concubine Yun Shu. The relationship between this mother and son is not very good. Should they be able to be won over?
Yan Cheng muttered to himself, and no matter what the Seventh Prince said, he just nodded obediently, acting like an obedient and sensible little brother who said, "Whatever you say is what I do."
Yan Cheng's original intention was to show his friendliness, but the Seventh Prince's calm expression showed increasing worry.
This little brother is too naive, isn't he? I believe everything he says. What if he is a bad person?
Looking at the young man's pale face, it was similar to his previous appearance when he was weak and sickly. It was obvious that he was in poor health.
With poor health, naivety, and a lack of manpower, the more you watch, the more it looks like he won't survive more than a few episodes.
What should I do?
The Seventh Prince was just feeling worried when Jian Ying walked up to Yan Cheng and whispered, "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Ninth Prince are here."
He comes with ill intentions.
Hearing the whispers of these three people on the palace road, Yan Cheng knew that these people were not of the same kind as him, and he really didn't want to see them.
Yan Cheng's face was tinged with a hint of boredom. The Seventh Prince raised his eyes to glance at Jian Ying and speculated, "Are the other princes here?"
Yan Cheng nodded, then asked Jian Ying to invite the person in.
Before Jian Ying left, another person came to report the news. This person was a young eunuch from the North Second Prison. Unlike Jian Ying, he did not report to Yan Cheng alone. He spoke politely from the bottom.
"Your Highness, Eighth Prince, Your Highness, the Crown Princes of Chu, Ning, and Han are here too."
The Seventh Prince had a blank expression on his face again, thinking that these people were just too idle.
"Ha!" Yan Cheng chuckled softly, meaninglessly. "Do you really think I'm a giant panda? I've only been at the North Second Institute for a short time, and yet one or two of you are so eager to come see me."
