Chapter 476: Wanting everything will only hurt you
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to be benevolent and filial. He honored his biological mother as the empress dowager, the crown princess as the queen, and the two concubines as the virtuous concubine and the virtuous concubine respectively. His eldest son, Murong Jun, was named the crown prince.
Concubine Shu was demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace, but she had already gone mad and her mind was completely disturbed.
Murong Huai arranged for Murong Sheng to return to the Prince of Jin's Mansion, where he had someone to serve him and no worries about food and clothing, but he just couldn't go out.
After his injuries healed, he was arranged to be executed by breaking his legs, and he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Anyway, he couldn't commit suicide. He had to live for his son and wife.
Gu Yue was still a concubine. When the new emperor ascended the throne, she was just three months pregnant.
Zhao Hui was brought over from Jin, and she took the initiative to ask to return to the palace to serve the prince.
I don't know if she was serving me or just pretending to serve me, but her smile was sinister.
Murong Huai warned her not to take advantage of Gu Yue's child, otherwise her family would not have a good ending.
Murong Huai is also very cruel. He insists that others endure the pain of separation from their loved ones.
Murong Sheng planned a rebellion, and how many people died because of him? He must atone for his sins.
Afterwards, Murong Huai carried out a series of reforms in the court. Su Jing became the prime minister at the age of 30, the youngest prime minister in the Jin Dynasty.
Murong Huai was ready to return the power of 100,000 troops to the Duke of Jiang's Mansion, but the Duke of Jiang refused. He felt that his leisurely old age life was good and didn't want to do anything else.
Jiang Yu resigned as he wished and never got involved in court affairs again.
Fengyue Villa is still waiting for him to inherit. His grandfather is old, and he wants to take his wife to Fengyue Villa to spend the few remaining moments with him.
After the matter in Kyoto was settled, the Su family members were also brought back to Kyoto.
Su Jing is now the first-rank minister of the cabinet, and he has also asked for the title of Consort of Imperial Concubine for his wife Shen Qingli. He should have moved to a bigger house, but no one wanted to leave. The current Su Mansion is very good, so there is no need to leave.
So, they continued to live in the Su Mansion.
Chengyi hadn't seen his mother for more than three months, but he didn't feel strange. When he saw his mother and father, he danced with joy and opened his arms for a hug.
The moment Su Wan saw him, he felt that everything he had experienced was worth it.
Murong Sheng has become taciturn since he woke up. With his martial arts skills destroyed, he feels like a useless person and becomes thinner day by day.
He really didn't want to continue lingering on in this world, but every time he saw Gu Yue's comforting smile and saw his son from time to time, he persevered.
Their lives are in their own hands!
However, Murong Huai wanted to break his legs, which was undoubtedly a cruel trampling on his dignity. He said that this was to atone for the more than 10,000 people who died because of him, so he could not die and should live in pain.
However, Murong Huai is already very kind and righteous. If Murong Sheng succeeds in taking power, what kind of punishment will he face?
There is no doubt that he will die, and he will even have to drag Jiang Yu to death with him.
On the day of the execution, Murong Sheng was held down and his legs were hit mercilessly with sticks. Such great force was used, ten times in total, but he endured it without making a sound. When it was over, he fainted from the pain.
Gu Yue cried heart-wrenchingly. The servants held her back and wouldn't let her go. Finally, she fainted from crying and had a miscarriage.
Zhao Hui watched the end of the two of them, laughing so hard that tears came out, and kept saying to herself, "This is retribution."
In the end, Su Mu went over personally to discipline the couple.
Gu Yue opened her eyes and saw Su Mu, who was standing there looking at her. Tears rolled down her cheeks again.
Su Mu couldn't describe what emotion she felt in her heart, she just felt extremely sad. Now when she thought about her childhood, it seemed that many things had faded. The seemingly innocent little girl in her memory was actually never innocent. Just as she said when she was a child, she would never marry an ordinary man in the future.
When it comes to contentment, she will never be as good as Su Wan, which is why she has come to this point today.
Gu Yue cried very sadly. When Su Mu turned to leave, she grabbed his sleeve and asked in a tearful voice:
"Second brother, if I hadn't wanted to leave you guys, would I be as lucky as Su Wan now?"
"Do you regret it?" Su Mu asked her while standing there, but never looked back.
"I've regretted it a long time ago!" Gu Yue didn't know when she started to regret it, she couldn't remember clearly.
"There's no point in regretting it. Even if you hadn't chosen to return home, you still wouldn't be satisfied because you're so proud that you always want the best of everything. One can't be too selfish. Wanting everything will only hurt you. Now, rest well. You're already pregnant. Don't be so sad or happy. It's not good for the child."
When leaving, Su Mu put a box of small change on the table. They were criminals and their life in the palace must be difficult. Su's mother thought about it and prepared some small change for him to bring over. With some money in hand, he could always take care of his food and drink.
He put the box down and walked away.
After Su Mu left, Gu Yue burst into tears again, but she still bowed to life and held the box of silver coins in her arms.
She also had to take care of Murong Sheng, and she had a baby in her belly.
After being warned by Murong Huai, Zhao Hui remained very obedient and did not dare to do anything to Gu Yue. She just mocked them every day and spoke very harshly. This kind of mental attack would be unbearable for anyone over time. Murong Sheng wanted to kill her because he ended up like this today because of this woman.
Gu Yue gave birth to another daughter, but she was taken away the next day and sent to the palace.
The child was very small, weighing only four pounds when he was born, and was very sick. Gu Yue did not cry or make a fuss, because she knew that it would be better for him to live in the palace than to be with her.
After Murong Sheng broke his leg, he was in poor health, and was always angry with Zhao Hui. Five years later, he died of illness.
On the day of his death, Zhao Hui also committed suicide by taking poison.
Because she knew that Gu Yue was reluctant to die, as she had two children, and she would continue to live on. But if Murong Sheng died, Zhao Hui would have to follow him, and even death would not allow him to rest in peace.
Gu Yue will spend the rest of her long life guarding this palace and having the opportunity to see her children once a month. The Su family will secretly take care of some things, so her life is not too bad.
After all, she wasn't so vicious as to be unforgivable in her life. This was also what Su Wan meant. Wasn't it because the original owner was isolated and helpless that she had so much resentment?
However, although she could see the children every month, they were not close to her. Instead, they felt particularly distant from her because they had been instilled with the concept that treason was a serious crime and could not be forgiven since childhood.
Children's values must be corrected from an early age, and the queen gives them a lot of love and care, especially for Gu Yue's daughter who was taken away as soon as she was born. The queen is like her own mother.
Murong Chen left his parents at a young age. As time went by, the vague and weak family affection no longer existed. He only visited the Prince of Jin's Mansion once a month as a routine.
…
At the age of 23, Su Wan gave birth to a daughter for Jiang Yu as she wished. She named her Jiang Wanning, which was chosen by her great-grandfather long ago.
When little Wan Ning was half a year old, the family of three went to Zhongzhou, and Duke Jiang also went with them. They stayed there for more than three years.
My grandfather lived a happy and contented life in the last three years of his life. His children accompanied him all day long, and when he passed away, he died in his sleep with a smile on his face.
Jiang Yu is still in charge of Fengyue Villa, but Jiang Yunhe will help him. He accompanies his wife and children back to Kyoto to reunite with the Su family.
As time goes by, their relationship remains sweet, and they only have eyes for each other.
Su Wan felt that his life was already very complete and he had nothing more to ask for...
