History always repeats itself.
No misfortune, regardless of who is right or wrong, is entirely innocent.
At this point in the story, Huo Baichuan didn't really want to continue. When you're alive, you should just look forward and let the past go with the wind.
However, there are always people who cling to the past and refuse to let go, and their reasons for doing so are often irrefutable.
Buddhism teaches the law of cause and effect: every cause has an effect, and you reap what you sow. He suddenly remembered that Zhao Shu had once said something like that.
At that time, she was still a very naive girl, but every time she radiated a spark of brilliance, it was like the result of cause and effect, making people ponder.
"You don't know, the Revenge Party is all over the world. Some specialize in targeting the wealthy, some specialize in targeting artisans, in short, they have contacted all capable people."
Zhao Shu could not imagine what kind of power was eroding the foundation of Dayong without her realizing it.
"You should also know my eldest sister, your aunt, who has an extremely good relationship with Yide. So good that she would go through fire and water for Yide with just a word. If Yide doesn't do evil, he is actually a pretty good person."
No one becomes disliked for no reason. Whether it is due to greed, resentment, injustice, self-interest, or various other circumstances, there have always been people in history who have raised the banner of seeking justice. Little did they know that for the object of seeking justice, doing evil is also a different kind of seeking justice.
Good and bad are relative, not absolute.
Whether Yi De was good or bad, it was bad for Zhao Shu, but good for some people.
Who hasn't spoken ill of others behind their backs? Who truly remains untainted by the mire of life? Who has no selfish motives? In reality, these are not worth discussing. It's merely a matter of unequal distribution of benefits, a group of sanctimonious people tearing off their masks and attacking each other.
But as long as one lives, one must uphold certain principles, such as morality, filial piety, affection, or loyalty.
"Don't worry, your elder sister didn't harm your mother." He looked at Zhao Shu earnestly, afraid that she would be sad, heartbroken, or in pain.
Zhao Shu smiled nonchalantly, "Luckily, no."
If the Empress Dowager made a mistake, she could understand and forgive her, but if it was Aunt Huo, she didn't know how to face her. If that were the case, she wouldn't write any of those words like morality, filial piety, affection, or loyalty. Don't bother talking to her about those useless things.
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Huo Baichuan deliberately smiled and said, "If my elder sister did something, what would you do?"
"If I want something, you have to step forward first, and then I'll have to deal with you first." Zhao Shu thought, if her mother were still alive, who would be kind to her?
She is so heartless, so devoid of morality, filial piety, loyalty, and all other principles of righteousness.
"Alright, the Revenge Party wanted your father to kill Yide with his own hands, and then ignite the conflict between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Your mother discovered this from the clues, but time was too short and her abilities were limited. Meanwhile, the Revenge Party also discovered that she had discovered it, so it was a race against time. In the end, your mother was outnumbered and could only save your father in time, but she didn't have time to tell the Empress Dowager that the Empress Dowager had killed Yide with her own hands."
"When the Emperor sent Qin Ji to rescue Yi De, his orders were to protect the infant and then send her away. Qin Ji led three hundred men to fight Zhi Hai for three days and three nights. At the same time, he bribed people around the Empress Dowager. Without Zhi Hai by his side, anyone who touched Yi De would die. The Empress Dowager personally threatened to kill Yi De and had her executed."
Zhao Shu knew that there were many ways to secretly execute people in the palace, all of which were extremely cruel, especially to pregnant women. The torture they inflicted on them was something that ordinary people could not endure.
"Yide had just given birth to the little prince and didn't have the strength to move at all. She also heard the emperor's decree to save the mother and keep the child. In fact, the emperor wanted to save the mother, but unfortunately she didn't know that at the time."
Zhao Shunen could understand her anger and despair at the time. Her lover, her child, everything was about to be lost overnight. How could she not hate, how could she not break down?
"Yide said that in her next life, she would never be a good person again, and she cursed the Empress Dowager to gradually lose what she cared about until she died, and that all those she cared about would die before her.
Zhao Shu recalled her past life, where the Empress Dowager had indeed gradually lost what she cared about. Her father died, she died, Emperor Mingde died, the Crown Prince and the Empress died, and the Dayong Empire fell into the hands of others.
He dedicated his life to protecting others, only to end up with nothing.
"In the end, it's still the Emperor who has done a bad job."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shu felt a bit self-deprecating. She had lived for more than ten years in her previous life, yet she knew nothing and understood nothing. She had truly lived in vain.
"Yide made two preparations. If the Emperor disregarded everything to protect her, she would rather die than make things difficult for the Emperor. But whether it was saving the mother or keeping the child, it showed the Emperor's attitude. She faked her death and left the capital."
"Your father, who escaped one calamity, could not escape the furious revenge of the Revenge Party. At that time, your mother was at Hangu Pass. Jiang Yue hired someone to kill your mother. Song Tian and your parents risked their lives to send your mother away, but the whole family perished under the blade. Afterwards, with the help of the Revenge Party, Jiang Yue kidnapped Song Tian and forced your mother to submit."
"The Empress Dowager sent many people to protect your mother, but that girl, the woman your father saved, also entered Prince Yong's mansion as part of her dowry. She sprinkled some medicine in the well, and the revenge party took the opportunity to enter Prince Yong's mansion. You know what happened next."
So, Jiang Ying's eventful life ended in a miserable death at the hands of a nobody girl? Zhao Shu asked in a cold voice, "Is that girl dead?"
"She didn't die. After your mother died, your father went mad. The Empress Dowager turned her into a human pig. Unfortunately, the revenge party, with the Emperor's intervention, the Empress Dowager couldn't catch anyone. After Yide died, the Emperor became depressed. Later, the former Grand Tutor told the Emperor that the Empress Dowager wanted to depose the Emperor. He panicked, surrounded the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace, and killed many of her capable subordinates."
