103 Alternatives
"But he had a hidden illness. He caught a cold at the age of 24 and died!"
"Bang!"
The teacup shattered to the ground!
Xiao Tingyun stood up suddenly, his voice trembling, "What did you just say?"
Pei Yuning looked back at her calmly and even coolly.
Xiao Tingyun was going crazy. What on earth did he just say? ?
Died of his injuries? ?
What about him? ! ! Who is he anyway? ?
Why did you become the Emperor of Da Qi?
Could it be that... he is a fake! !
Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Tingyun's mind at once, and he wished that none of them were true!
Pei Yuning's expression remained calm, without any sign of panic.
"Hurry up and tell me! What exactly did you mean by what you just said?!" Xiao Tingyun's voice, which had originally been raised, had to be lowered in the end!
I was afraid that because of my carelessness, this huge secret would be made public.
Xiao Tingyun somewhat regretted listening to his story. Wouldn't it be like adding an extra layer of danger if he told it to himself?
How could he brazenly tell others about such private matters concerning the harem and the previous dynasty?
Xiao Tingyun was extremely anxious, but Pei Yuning suddenly chuckled.
Seeing this, Xiao Tingyun was so disappointed that he whispered angrily, "What are you laughing at? Are you lying to me? "
This sentence made Xiao Tingyun's eyes light up, "Are you lying to me?"
Pei Yuning stopped smiling and reached out his hand to try to hold hers.
At this time, Xiao Tingyun didn't care about what made him angry. He just let him lead the way and waited for his answer seriously.
In the end, Pei Yuning only whispered, "This story... is true."
"That man died. Although the woman was heartbroken over the loss of her son, the remaining grandson was too young. The Great Qi was in danger."
Xiao Tingyun stood there in a daze, unable to gather his thoughts for a long time.
Pei Yuning pinched her fingertips. Her fingers were slender, her nails were round and full, and the white crescent shape was very cute.
When he told the story again, there was an indescribable silence in his voice. "When he was seriously ill, the nanny beside the girl reminded her of something, which made her make a bold decision. She also told her son a story, but the protagonist of the story was not herself, but me!"
"Everyone said that the girl was lucky. She met the late emperor and was pregnant with a dragon heir. She was naturally lively and beautiful. But no one knew that she gave birth to twins instead of a son."
Xiao Tingyun murmured, "Twins?"
Then Pei Yuning is the second one?
Xiao Tingyun was stunned for a long time, but the twins of the royal family of Daqi regarded it as an ominous sign...
Then choose one and abandon it...
Xiao Tingyun couldn't believe that there would really be a mother who would give up her own child?
But she had never heard that the Queen Mother had twins, so there was only one result: the Queen Mother concealed the fact that she had twins and secretly dealt with one of the children.
Pei Yuning said in a calm voice, "I was born in a temple as far as I can remember. When I was about to receive enlightenment, one day, an old man came and sent me to the Pei family in Huaizhou. Later, I lived in seclusion there, learning literature and art from the Pei family. In the outside world, my identity is an orphan whose parents have both passed away. However, the elders of the Pei family all know my origin and regard me as a stain."
Xiao Tingyun's mind instantly sketched out a picture of a small person being disliked by his own relatives, and his eyes became sore.
He is such a noble person and should be admired by others, how could he be a stain? !
How desperate must he be to say such a casual thing!
Without parents and relatives who truly care about him, his world must be so cold and icy.
"The woman decided to let him, who was far away in the Pei family, enter the palace to replace her son and continue to be the emperor of Da Qi."
"Although the man didn't agree at first, and just wanted to see his brother whom he had never met, he couldn't resist the woman's persuasion in the end."
"He quietly entered the palace as they wished and met the two people. The face that was exactly the same as his made him feel a little uneasy. It turned out... that was his family. But after he learned of their intentions, that bit of warmth was gradually broken, and that face began to become thinner. At first, he was just helping them to show up in public."
"Later, the man cried and begged him, even destroying his dignity as a king and kneeling down to beg him. He stared at that face and finally compromised himself."
"Stop talking!" Xiao Tingyun's eyes turned red and he choked.
"You are not a substitute, you are Pei Yuning, you are the moon in the water and the snow in the sky, you have never been a stain." Xiao Tingyun held his hand and refuted his words with sobs and excitement.
Pei Yuning smiled and wiped her tears. "Why are you crying? Now I am standing in front of you in good health. I feel a little comforted."
"Are you stupid? You told me not to be unhappy, and that whoever wronged you should forgive me, but why did you compromise yourself like this?" Xiao Tingyun's vision blurred, he felt so distressed that he scolded him loudly!
"Don't you like traveling? Haven't you seen the moon in the desert? Don't you like the lotus in the pond? Why do you want to put yourself down like that?!"
She didn't expect it to be like this. The truth was so absurd that the Queen Mother had to abandon another child for her own child.
Even throwing him back to the family that regards him as a stain!
When he grows up, he will be pulled back into that heartless cage, where there are his twin brother's concubines, children and mother, but there is no trace of himself.
His face will continue to be used to perpetuate someone else's shadow!
Xiao Tingyun bit her lip and cried, then threw herself into his arms.
Pei Yuning held her tightly and held her in front of him. The delicate girl's eyes were covered with tears.
"Don't be sad, this matter has passed. Although I don't want to tell you and make you sad, I am more afraid that you will resent me from now on and then alienate me." Pei Yuning put his head close to her neck and said softly.
He didn't want her to feel resentful towards him. He knew what she cared about, and he knew he should explain it clearly to reassure her.
"I never had any resentment, I just felt that I met you too late."
Pei Yuning's eyes were gentle. For him, it was never too late, as long as it was her.
"I have never had any contact with the women in the palace, and those children are not mine." Pei Yuning explained to him seriously.
Xiao Tingyun said in a muffled voice, "I know."
Those women were like his sisters-in-law, how could he possibly be with them again?
"So can I go see the desert moon with you?"
Xiao Tingyun nodded, "Yes, not only can we watch the moon in the desert, but we will also plant a pond of lotus flowers in the future. We can pick as many as we want in the future!"
Pei Yuning sneered, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xiao Tingyun blushed and listened to her. They had nothing to do with each other at the moment. Even if those women and children had nothing to do with him, he was still her nominal husband and father after all.
