Chapter 204 Reminiscence
His thoughts instantly drifted back to twenty years ago, when he and Bai Ran were still living a happy life in Beirong. Those days were the happiest time in his life.
Later, he suddenly received a letter from his eldest brother, informing him that the court was in crisis and asking him to go back to help. When he received the letter, he hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to go back and take a look.
It would definitely be dangerous to go back this time, and he didn't want Bai Ran to be in danger like himself, so he found Bai Ran, told her that he was leaving, and promised that he would come back to find him.
It was that night that Bai Ran gave her body to him, and he vowed to treat him well for the rest of his life.
The next morning, even though he was reluctant, he had to leave. However, he didn't expect that by leaving, he would completely lose Bai Ran.
He returned to Western Qin to help his elder brother fight for the throne. He and his elder brother were twins. They were stolen away when they were young. It was not until he accidentally met his elder brother when he was a teenager that he knew his identity.
At that time, no one in the court knew about this matter, so he was always in the dark, while his elder brother was in the light. Later, the open and secret struggles ended, and his elder brother was also plotted against. When he was taking his last breath, he found him and handed over everything to him.
And asked him to take revenge on his behalf and seize the throne. In fact, he had no interest in the throne, but when he saw his elder brother die in front of him, he couldn't bear it and agreed.
After all, his eldest brother has been very good to him since he brought him back.
So, from then on, he broke through the siege on behalf of his elder brother and seized the throne. Those other people in the dark thought they had succeeded, but they never expected that there was a Ji Mingzhe.
The Sixth Prince and the Tenth Princess were also his eldest brother's children, and the Queen was his eldest brother's wife. The affair between the two brothers was kept secret, even from his wife, so no one in his eldest brother's mansion knew about it.
He sat on the throne and made his elder brother's wives queens and concubines.
He had no interest in his eldest brother's wives, so he gave them what they deserved and ignored them. After the court was more stable, he went out incognito, wanting to bring Bai Ran back and tell her the truth about it all.
But when he came back again, the sky had fallen. Bai Ran had disappeared as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth, and no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find her.
Since then, he has searched in many places, but still found nothing.
Helplessly, Western Qin cannot be without an emperor, and for the sake of the overall situation, he can only go back.
At that time, the Sixth Prince and the Tenth Princess were not very old, only seven or eight years old, and the children of other concubines were not very old either.
He left everything in the harem to the queen alone, and among his children, his favorite was the tenth princess.
So you should love her a lot.
As for the women in the harem, he had no interest at all. He did not touch them at all. In fact, the Queen and the others also noticed that Ji Mingzhe was different from before, but they did not suspect that he was a different person. Instead, they felt that Ji Mingzhe no longer loved them.
Especially when the Queen found Bai Ran's portrait in Ji Mingzhe's bedroom, she thought that he ignored them because of that woman.
At first, the queen and the other concubines were upset, but later, she saw that Ji Mingzhe was quite good to the children, and he didn't just ignore her, but he didn't touch any woman in the palace.
This made her feel a little better. She thought that if he didn't touch them, then he didn't have to. As long as it was good for the children, it would be fine.
The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, several years went by, and nothing happened. But one Mid-Autumn Festival, Ji Mingzhe drank too much, and the queen came to help him go to bed. I accidentally heard his drunken words, and then I discovered Ji Mingzhe's secret.
When she found out that he was not her husband but her brother-in-law, she immediately had some thoughts in her mind. She thought that after all, he was not her husband, and if he had someone he liked in the future, she could take him into the palace to have children with him.
After all, the eldest brother's child was no match for his own son. After learning about this, she called her two children over and explained the matter to them.
The two children were very shocked when they heard this, and from that time on, they began to plot for the throne.
With the events that followed, Ji Mingzhe thought back on the past and couldn't figure out how he had been wrong to the Sixth Prince and why he treated him like this.
At that time, what he wanted was to train the Sixth Prince as soon as possible so that he could take over the affairs of the court as soon as possible. He didn't want to be the emperor anymore. He wanted to find Bai Ran again, but he didn't expect that he would attack him.
This made him feel a little heartbroken. After all, he had loved him for so many years.
Well, let it be. Before, he didn’t have his own children, so he thought that as long as he asked, the throne would be given to him directly. But now he has his own children, and he wants to leave everything to his children.
Even if he doesn't want it, it's better than giving it to that ungrateful person. By the way, A'ran and the others need the Snow Soul Silkworm Heart. He remembers that there are still some in the national treasury. He needs to think about how to get someone to get it.
The little eunuch outside doesn't seem to be the Sixth Prince's man, otherwise he wouldn't have brought Bai Ran and the others to see me. I might as well let him get it for me.
Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry. He didn't know if there was anyone watching outside, so it was better to be careful.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, a palace maid brought medicine and fed it to him. After he finished drinking it, she didn't give him anything else to eat.
He was unconscious before and didn’t feel hungry, but now he is awake, how can he not eat?
Just as he was thinking about how to get something to eat, the little eunuch came over with a food box and waved to the palace maids, asking them to leave.
After everyone left, he took out the food from the lunch box, placed it on the table, walked to Ji Mingzhe's bed and whispered, "Your Majesty, I brought you some food. You must be hungry. Get up and eat something."
When Ji Mingzhe heard the little eunuch's voice, he opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, walked to the dining table and ate something.
He hadn't eaten for a long time, so he only drank a little porridge and didn't eat much else.
After eating, he took the handkerchief from the eunuch and wiped his mouth, then waved to him and said a few words in his ear.
Knowing that the emperor wanted the Snow Soul Ice Silkworm, he nodded, thinking of trying his best to see if he could get it.
Seeing that the young eunuch agreed, he felt a little tired, so he went back to his bed to rest.
The young eunuch cleaned up the food on the table and walked out. His steps were heavy as he walked out. He thought that he must have taken the right path.
