Chapter 77 Heartache
Although Concubine Li was over thirty years old, she still possessed a stunning and peerless beauty, a graceful and slender figure, and skin as white as a peach...
Impeccable perfection.
Time seemed to be particularly kind to her, leaving no trace on her. She looked like a young lady in her prime.
Compared with the dignified, elegant and majestic beauty of the eldest princess, Concubine Li has more of a feminine softness and gentleness, which is precisely the most attractive quality to men.
Most men in the world prefer women who are weak, charming and attractive.
You can find an indescribable desire to protect.
It can also help you regain the dignity and pride that belongs to men.
With her stunning beauty and delicate and helpless personality, Concubine Li completely conquered the heart of Emperor Wu of Qin like a delicate dodder.
Men conquer the world, women conquer men.
A woman's tears are the best weapon.
Concubine Li could often change Emperor Wu of Qin's extremely firm ideas with just a tear.
It can be seen how destructive her tears are.
Prince Duan looked at Concubine Li crying in front of him, but there was not much emotion in his heart.
Concubine Li cried for a long time, but her son didn't come to comfort her as usual, so she stopped crying.
This trick has always worked on the three of them, father and son, but it didn't work today.
Seeing that his son's attitude towards him seemed to have become much colder, he thought that he was in a bad mood after being injured, so he didn't take it to heart.
He continued to soothe her softly, "I've told your father that in two days, we'll end the hunt early and return to the capital as soon as possible to find a miracle doctor for you."
"The poison you were poisoned with is much stronger than the one we gave Huo Yuchen before."
"We have the antidote for Huo Yuchen's poison. Maybe it can also alleviate your poison."
"After returning to the capital, take some of that antidote. It will definitely help reduce the toxins in your body."
"Mother will never let anything happen to you!"
"No matter what method you use, Mother will definitely find a way to cure you."
"With your father's imperial decree seeking medical treatment, countless famous doctors will surely come from far and wide. Your poison may be cured soon."
"As for the injury on your hand, I believe it's very likely to be healed."
"You don't need to worry too much. We can definitely get through this together!"
Prince Duan interrupted Concubine Li's chatter without hesitation, "Does mother know? I almost couldn't come back that night!"
This sentence made Concubine Li's tears flow again and she cried even harder.
The tears came as expected.
It's unbearable!
But Prince Duan remained indifferent and showed no emotion.
Concubine Li sobbed, "Mother knows...knows. Mother is terrified too. This time...it's all thanks to your brother. He risked his life to save you."
"You should thank your brother very much."
"Don't forget his life-saving grace!"
After hearing this, Prince Duan’s anger was completely ignited.
He roared hysterically, "Thank him? Why?..."
After saying this, Prince Duan burst into tears and his eyes turned bloodshot.
Then he approached Concubine Li step by step and slowly told her the past.
"When Huo Yong was six years old, he fell into a lotus pond and nearly drowned."
"It was me, yes, I was the one who saved him!"
"When Huo Yong was eight years old, he fell from a rockery and suffered a bloody head injury. I was the one who found him and sent him unconscious to the Imperial Hospital..."
"I saved him too!"
"When Huo Yong was eleven years old, he nearly fell to his death while riding a horse. It was I who controlled the mad horse in time and took him off the mad horse in time, saving him from death..."
"I saved him."
"Since he was little, I have saved Huo Yong at least three or four times. I have always been the one protecting him."
"Every time I saved Huo Yong, what did my mother and father do?"
"By the way, you guys tell me, he's my younger brother, I should love and protect him more!"
"You said, I am the older brother, and I have the obligation to protect my younger brother."
Prince Duan became more and more excited as he spoke, and his expression was a little crazy.
"But Huo Yong only saved me this once. Why should I be grateful to him?"
"What do I owe him?"
"If you really want to count carefully, Huo Yong owes me several lives!"
"Then how is he going to thank me?"
Prince Duan rushed over, grabbed Concubine Li's shoulders tightly, and continued to question her.
"How about, mother, please tell me how Huo Yong is going to repay me?"
"Ah... say it... say it quickly..."
"Mother, why don't you say anything..."
"Tell me quickly, between us two brothers, who owes whom?"
Prince Duan's eyes were about to spit fire, like an angry beast about to go crazy and out of control.
He stared at Concubine Li with an extremely disappointed look, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
It makes people feel scary and suffocating.
Prince Duan still refused to give up and continued to question.
"Mother, why don't you tell me? Come on, tell me..."
"Tell me quickly how Huo Yong is going to repay me?"
"How about letting him work like a slave for me for the rest of his life?"
"Oh, no, that would make Mother so heartbroken. He is your beloved one!"
"Hahaha... I'm just a pawn that you guys have deceived, abandoned, and used..."
Looking at her son who was going crazy and screaming constantly, Concubine Li felt a little strange.
She seemed to have never truly understood this son.
She felt that she had said something wrong and made her son unhappy.
So I quickly tried to persuade him with kind words.
"My prince, why are you so angry today?"
"Didn't your brother save you?"
"Isn't it normal for two brothers to help each other?"
Prince Duan laughed like crazy.
“Hahahaha…hahahaha…”
He laughed at himself, it was so ridiculous.
I used to be a huge joke.
"Then I want to ask, why is Huo Yong protected by dozens of royal secret guards, but I only have a few?"
"Mother, you often say that the palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh, and we are all your most cherished children."
"But why is there such a big difference?"
"this......"
Concubine Li didn't know how to answer.
After hesitating for a long time, Concubine Li finally mustered the courage to say, "In my heart, you and Huo Yong are the same. I love you both equally."
"But, there is only one throne."
"Your father thinks Huo Yong's personality is more like his."
"Moreover, Huo Yong is a man of both civil and military talents, possessing both wisdom and courage. He can bring peace to the world with his pen, and he can conquer the world with his sword. It's understandable that your father has high hopes for him!"
After hearing his mother's affirmative answer, Prince Duan felt the crack in his heart grow wider and his heart became even colder.
It turns out that my mother knows everything.
But he and his father deceived him.
It turns out that his mother's love for him is also very false!
He always sees clearly.
I figured it out too.
Huo Yong is a child valued by his father and mother, but he is just a pawn.
In other words, my mother knew a lot of things and even participated in the decision-making.
He felt like a big fool.
Over the years, he has been deceived, betrayed and exploited by his father, mother and younger brother.
He always thought that after getting rid of Huo Yuchen, he would have the opportunity to replace him and sit on the throne of the crown prince.
But it turned out to be just his wishful thinking.
But his father and mother never considered him.
His closest people used him like a gun, letting him fight at the front for them.
Everything he did was ultimately just to help Huo Yong.
Now, he has become a useless person and has lost his value.
Their attitude towards him began to change drastically, and they no longer took him seriously.
That's why Huo Yong has been so cold and distant towards him these days.
This is clearly an act of destroying bridges!
Figure this out.
Prince Duan felt cold all over.
It turns out that he has been living a lie.
That was a beautiful dream that his family had created for him.
If it wasn't the letter sent to Prince Duan's Mansion.
I'm afraid he will always live in lies, deception and exploitation.
Now, he finally woke up...
