Chapter 1009 Confession (5)
“After that incident where I fell into the water, I started to feel alienated from the second and third branches of the Shen family. I wasn’t as friendly to Shen Qing and Shen Yue as before, and even went so far as to oppose Old Madam Shen.” Shen Miao asked, “Do you find it strange?”
Xie Jingxing said: "Everyone always wakes up at some point."
Shen Miao was confused before, that was because she was young. When one is confused for a certain period of time, perhaps because of something, one will learn the truth, or something else, and then one can grow up overnight. Just like him.
Shen Miao shook her head: "Then I was too awake. Actually, it's very simple. When I fell into the water in the 68th year of Ming Qi, I lay in bed and couldn't wake up for a long time. I had a very long dream." She looked at the flickering light on the table, and a dazed look gradually rose in her eyes like smoke. "That dream was very long and serious, just like I had experienced it myself."
“Can you believe a dream like that?” Shen Miao smiled, “It’s like a prophecy.”
Xie Jingxing gradually frowned, his gaze on Shen Miao becoming sharper.
"It is said that there was once a governor in the Southern Kingdom who dozed off under a tree. He dreamed that he was an emperor, and that he had lived a long life, from a flourishing life to a fallen state. Suddenly, he woke up and realized that it had only been a moment. Everything in the dream was just a dream. It was so real that he could not tell whether the dream was real or reality was real."
"My dream is longer and more painful than the one of the Southern Governor in the story. After I dreamed about it," she said.
"I dreamed that I finally married into Prince Ding's Mansion, and the Shen family was tied to the Ding Palace. I dreamed that in the future, there would be disputes in the court, unrest among the kings, and the princes would fight for the throne. In the end, Fu Xiuyi would be the winner. He would ascend the throne, and I would be the queen. I would be the mother of the country and it would be very glorious."
Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows.
"You probably think this is a beautiful dream because I'm obsessed with Fu Xiuyi, so my dreams all have happy endings. I also hope this is a beautiful dream, but this is the most terrifying nightmare I've ever had in my life."
"I gave birth to a son and a daughter, the most sensible and lovely children in the world. Then, Daliang became increasingly powerful. Mingqi was invaded by foreign tribes. Mingqi borrowed troops from Qin, and Qin took me as a hostage. I stayed in Qin for five years."
“I met Huangfu Hao and Ming An,” Shen Miao said.
Xie Jingxing's expression gradually became serious.
"I don't like the Qin royal family. They always humiliate me. They invented a shooting game where I had to hold a straw in my head, but they always deliberately missed. Later, I secretly practiced shooting, but no matter how hard I practiced, I could never hit them the next day."
"Five years passed quickly, and I returned to Mingqi. There was a new favorite concubine in Dingjing Palace, named Madam Mei, who gave birth to a son named Fu Sheng."
"Fu Xiuyi dotes on Madam Mei and loves Fu Sheng. I'm ignored. Even though I'm the queen, I'm secretly ridiculed."
"Fu Xiuyi began to attack the Shen family. Although I was anxious, I could not intervene. My eldest brother's career was ruined because he tarnished Jing Chuchu's innocence. He was imprisoned for murder and eventually became disabled and drowned in a pond. My mother's illness worsened because of Chang Zaiqing, and she died of depression soon after. My father was aging and had his military power taken away. He drank all day. However, the second and third wives rose step by step and became more and more powerful."
"Madam Mei and I are fighting in the harem, neither of us is willing to spare the other. It's not that I covet the position of queen, but if I can't even keep this position, I will lose my children as well."
"In the end, I was defeated, the Shen family was destroyed, Wanyu died of illness on the way to marry the Xiongnu, and Fu Ming committed suicide after being deposed as crown prince. I was imprisoned in the cold palace, given a white silk scarf, and the eunuchs strangled me to death. I opened my eyes and found myself lying in bed. It turned out that I had a very long nightmare."
