Dongfang Xunyi’s mother was also a pitiful person.
As for his father, Wang Dongfang Hong, Li Xia couldn't comment.
She couldn't agree with what he did.
If he truly loved her, he should have known before proposing to her that her heart had never belonged to him.
Since he knows that he doesn't love her, he would rather keep her by his side and torture her than let her go free.
In the end, she was brought to disgrace and was left to be insulted and spit upon by those who stood aside from the matter.
If this is love, it's too suffocating.
Dongfang Xunyi obviously couldn't accept that the protagonist in Li Xia's story was the person close to him, and he staggered back two steps.
"How could it be... Mother..." He kept shaking his head, speaking incoherently and not knowing what to say.
He doesn't know.
He never knew that his mother had such a past.
Dongfang Xunyi recalled his childhood.
He has never seen his grandfather since he could remember.
My mother never mentioned returning to her parents' home.
There are two days every year when she would lock herself in her room and not come out for the entire day.
It was not until today, when Dongfang Xunyi heard this story, that he finally understood it completely.
The two days when my mother stayed indoors were: one was her brother's birthday, and the other was the day he left.
The two days she locked herself in the room were all related to her brother.
He couldn't remember clearly when his father started drinking.
But Dongfang Xunyi vaguely remembered that whenever his father got drunk, his mother would not even have the strength to get out of bed the next day.
Her body was covered with shocking scars.
He was young at that time and didn't understand many things. His mother always had a gentle smile on her face, so he thought it was normal for his parents to get along with each other.
Later, when he grew up a little, Dongfang Xunyi saw how other people's parents got along with each other, and he realized that the way his father and mother got along was abnormal.
Li Xia sensed Dongfang Xunyi's low mood, and she gently patted his shoulder, "Dongfang Xunyi, your mother has suffered a lot in her life, don't be prejudiced against her like the world does. She just fell in love with someone, that's human instinct, she can't control feelings, it's not her fault, it's the world and prejudice, as well as those so-called rules, that have been restraining her."
As she gradually got to know Princess Hong, she felt sorry for her past.
For half of her life, everything she wanted and desired was contrary to her.
I just hope that he can live freely and unrestrainedly in a corner of the world for the rest of his life.
No longer be held hostage by those irrelevant things.
"I deserve to die. I didn't know my mother had suffered so much. It's all my fault. My mother shouldn't have given birth to me. Then she wouldn't have lost her freedom and wouldn't have to suffer humiliation for so many years." Dongfang Xunyi heard the nanny beside his mother talk about it.
After his mother gave birth to him, she felt that it was time for her to repay her parents' kindness and wanted to leave.
She wanted to work hard to gain freedom outside the palace and pursue what she wanted in her heart.
But his cry made his mother willingly give up the only chance to let him go.
Dongfang Xunyi felt that all this was his fault.
If it weren't for him.
My mother would not have any worries and would not suffer so much.
"No, you can't think like that." Li Xia explained, "It was your mother's choice to give birth to you. I believe that she brought you into this world without hesitation because she loved you and let you experience this world."
Although she had never had any contact with Princess Hong, she had some idea of what kind of person she was after learning about her past.
She couldn't disobey her parents' orders.
But if she has no desire for the child to be born, she has countless ways to prevent him from coming into the world.
Since Dongfang Xunyi's mother chose to give birth to him.
She must have thought it over carefully.
The child is the flesh and blood of her body. She may not love Dongfang Hong, but for her biological son whom she carried for ten months, Princess Hong poured all her love into him the moment she decided to give birth to him.
When Dongfang Xunyi heard what Li Xia said, his thick long eyelashes trembled twice.
The image of his mother smiling sweetly when she was present flashed through his mind.
It is said that those who are in power are often confused.
He didn't know about others, but he himself was truly blinded.
He actually doubted his mother's love for him.
"Dongfang Xunyi, you have to cheer up. There is hope for everything as long as you are alive. When you become stronger, you and your son will finally be able to meet each other." Li Xia said, "You have to know that if you let yourself go, Nightmare will be helpless against you."
"Also...after today, I may not be able to appear in your dreams anymore."
"Are you leaving too?"
Dongfang Xunyi bit his lower lip and stared at Li Xia.
Is he unable to keep anyone he wants to keep?
Is it a luxury even in a dream?
Li Xia shook her head. "I'm not leaving. You can't allow yourself to be trapped in the dream anymore. We just need to accept the awakening and welcome the world outside the dream."
She had just finished speaking.
Dongfang Xunyi felt a splitting headache and the scenery in front of him became blurred.
“No…don’t…”
early morning.
Dongfang Xunyi suddenly sat up from the dragon couch. He was sweating all over, as if he had just experienced an intense run.
The woman's features in the dream gradually became clearer.
"Empress Dowager..." He moved his thin lips and muttered to himself.
———
Chen time.
Fengyi Palace.
“Knock knock knock—”
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is here to pay his respects to you." Yuzhu knocked on the door of Lixia's bedroom.
Li Xia paused as she picked up the teacup.
Since Dongfang Xunyi ascended the throne, he had always sent people to pay his respects to her, but had never come to pay his respects to her in person.
It's obvious.
His action is to have other intentions.
I guess the greeting is fake, and the real purpose is to find out the truth in person.
"Ahem..." Li Xia covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cleared her throat, then said, "Yuzhu, ask the emperor to wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
This day will have to be faced sooner or later.
You can hide for a while but you can't hide forever.
What's more, she needed to detoxify herself as soon as possible.
Yuzhu bowed and said, "Yes, Madam."
Li Xia tilted her head slightly and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
She stood up, took a deep breath, and when everything was ready, she walked out of the room.
The main hall of Fengyi Palace.
Dongfang Xunyi was waiting for Li Xia here at this moment, and there was a little man beside him.
Chen Yi blinked his eyes, "Piao... No, Your Majesty, didn't you say you would take me to find my elder sister?"
He pouted his lips and looked up in confusion.
"Don't be impatient, wait a minute."
Dongfang Xunyi looked up outside the palace from time to time.
He wanted to ask her face to face, was she the one in his dreams or in reality?
Chen Yi puffed up his cheeks and responded, "Oh, okay."
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Although he is young, he still understands the truth.
