When Concubine Yi heard the emperor calling her by her maiden name, she was overjoyed, as if the emperor was her heaven. Just a slight sound of rain made her extremely excited, and the emperor's expression softened.
Those who were perceptive were shocked and had an idea. It seemed that Concubine Yi, who had been out of favor for many years, was about to regain favor, and her son's value would also increase. He was really lucky.
However, there was no joy on Jun Shihuai's face. Jun Li only saw desolation in his eyes.
The emperor sent them to the cold palace with just one word, and made them the object of others' envy with another word. If it were Jun Li, she would not be happy even if it happened.
After dinner, everyone dispersed, but Concubine Yi was left behind, which did not surprise Jun Li at all.
But happiness came too quickly and went away too quickly. When I heard the bad news, it was the night of New Year's Day. Concubine Yi died in her own palace. It is said that she died with a smile on her face.
Committing suicide on such a day was extremely unlucky. After hearing this, the emperor probably felt extremely guilty. He not only gave Jun Shihuai a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry, but also specially selected a palace for him as compensation.
Jun Li was worried about Jun Shihuai being alone, so she took Yuyan with her to Jun Shihuai.
The yard was still so deserted. The door of Jun Shihuai's room was not closed. She could see the fire in the house even when she was standing outside the yard. When she got closer, she found that Jun Shihuai was burning paper money. There was no expression on his face. Only the fire reflected in his eyes could be seen. The flames were flickering, like a heart that had nowhere to go. Jun Li looked at Jun Shihuai like this, and for the first time her nose felt sore and her eyes were a little hot.
"She said she was very satisfied. She had waited for so many years just for the day when he would call her name. She said she was tired of the ruthlessness of the harem, so she wanted to leave. However, she didn't even tell me she was leaving, only leaving a letter."
It was at this time that Jun Li noticed that there was a piece of rice paper at Jun Shihuai's feet, and she could vaguely see the beautiful handwriting on it.
"For so many years, I have always thought that no matter how hard life is, I am not alone. I still have her, and I must take care of her, even if she is not a good mother, even if in her heart, I have always been a disaster. But, sister, do you know? She wrote in the letter that she forgave me, and she said she was sorry for me -"
At this point, Jun Shihuai became emotional. His hands, clenched with paper money, turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "Who cares about her apology? She gave up everything for a man who left his wife and children here without a care. I've waited for so many years, but all I got was an apology. I..."
Jun Shihuai choked and his eyes turned red. He moved his lips but couldn't say a word for a long time. Jun Li only saw endless hatred in his eyes. He hated his mother, hated her for leaving without saying goodbye, and hated her for choosing to leave him alone after he had waited for her for so many years.
Jun Li has no parents and cannot understand the feeling of their parents leaving. But seeing Jun Shihuai like this, she actually felt a sense of empathy. She approached Jun Shihuai, bent down and put her hand on his cold face. Jun Shihuai's face was full of confusion, confusion about the future. Jun Li looked at him and said firmly: "You are not completely without anything. Those who have nothing are the walking dead, but you are not. As long as you are still you, one day, everything you want will be yours. By then, you will become the most powerful."
