Empty White
The snow is hazy and the blood is heavy.
Who knows how short our life span will be?
I knelt before Concubine Tong's bed.
The hypocritical king came along, pretending to be in a panic.
He knelt beside me, and so did his stepmother.
Cruel and cruel, but flexible.
He is a hypocritical benevolent person, but he is a true emperor.
That night, I knelt, and the emperor knelt with me.
Everyone, from top to bottom, surrounded the Imperial Noble Concubine Dowager of Jishan Palace.
"Your Majesty has ordered the palace gates to be opened, and the two princesses from Xingningfang are to enter the palace immediately."
Eunuch Zhu told Concubine Tong.
"No… that's against the rules."
Concubine Tong waved her hand.
I know what she means.
It is night, this is the Li family's Taiji Palace, and Concubine Tong does not want His Majesty to open the palace for her at night.
"Tong Sanlang, the Saint has already let him go home. Today... is all a misunderstanding."
Eunuch Zhu said with tears in his eyes.
"It's a misunderstanding... It's just a misunderstanding... Once it's resolved, it's fine..."
Concubine Tong's breath is weak and she doesn't have much time left.
"Toffee, are you cold?"
Eunuch Zhu asked with tears in his eyes.
"Toffee, thirsty?"
I wish your crying will become more and more painful.
I have many tears in my heart, which have long dried up and only blood flows out.
His knees fell down with a loud bang.
"Mrs. Dowager, please be kind..."
"At least... help Taiji Palace and Chang'an City to say a few words..."
"You are a noble person with a compassionate heart. You will ascend to become an immortal and become a god. You will be blessed for ten thousand years to come..."
"Tens of thousands of lives are at stake in Taiji Palace, and millions of lives are at stake in Chang'an City. Please treat me like a pitiful ant and say a kind word. I beg you!"
He cried loudly and banged his head loudly, and his tears were even louder than mine.
Eunuch Zhu begged the Imperial Concubine Dowager, and my mother was the most soft-hearted.
The Toffee held my hand and talked to me.
"You're not feeling well, and I originally wanted to ask Sanlang to take care of you. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized it's not appropriate, very inappropriate. Sanlang is two years younger than you, and he's just a weakling who can fall down at the slightest gust of wind. And you still need to spend so much time and energy to take care of him. This is not good... Sanlang is not good..."
"Yes, what mother said is true. I will listen to you."
I said tremblingly.
If the concubine says Sanlang is good, then he will be good.
If the concubine says Sanlang is not good, then he is not good.
"You can take care of yourself, and it's fine to be alone."
The Toffee said it was okay to be alone.
"yes."
I choked up and said it was good to be alone.
As soon as these words were spoken, the tyrant emperor's body shrank a bit, and I had no time to pay attention to him.
"I've been careful all my life, but today I made a terrible mistake. I was careless and foolish, and I can never redeem myself... I don't know why, but I suddenly thought of the late emperor, the late emperor... your royal father, how powerful and wise he was. The late emperor's vision far surpassed us ladies in the palace. The princes-in-law of Huayang and Anyang were personally selected by the late emperor. They are all excellent. The late emperor truly loved you princesses... One person is good, two people can be good too. If I die and leave you alone, I always feel it's not safe enough..."
"Yes, the late emperor truly loved the princess. Whether alone or with someone else, I will obey you..."
I said.
"Marrying a boring husband will make you lose your taste after just a few days. Those other husbands out there are all different, and their backgrounds are unknown. Even your mother wouldn't feel at ease if you were to marry them. After much thought, only... He Nu, I would feel most at ease if you married His Majesty."
The Queen Mother missed Huayang and Anyang, and remembered the late emperor on her deathbed.
Concubine Tong propped herself up and looked at the current emperor.
"Slave Li, you and His Majesty have been together since childhood, playing and fighting for many years. You have long been inseparable from each other. Just listen to your mother and obey the orders of the late emperor, okay?"
Princess Tai, you have forgotten what time it is now and what time it was in the past.
To make her feel at ease, I just followed her wishes and listened to her.
The Concubine Dowager said Tong Yousheng was the best, so I recognized him as the best.
If the Concubine Dowager says that the tyrant is good, I will not say that he is a tyrant.
I looked at the saint, I would rather die than marry him, and he hated marrying me.
After many years of wandering, my final destination is still this Taiji Palace and the young master of the Li family.
In the end, he and I, and he and I, are still tied together.
The tyrant emperor also looked at me, he said nothing, he no longer punished the Tong family for no reason, he did not refute the Imperial Concubine Dowager.
He neither refused nor agreed, which was considered as his filial piety to the concubine.
I said yes.
I agree with everything the Concubine Dowager says.
"Okay, I like the Li family. I'll stay in Taiji Palace and won't go anywhere. My brother and I have reconciled and reconciled. I don't remember anything about the past..."
I swore a solemn oath in the presence of the Concubine.
Seeing that I promised, Concubine Tong sent me to the arms of the saint. After the Concubine's body fell, she looked at the sky of Jishan Palace alone.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you should give He Nu more leeway."
The concubine gave me the order and I obeyed.
"Li Nu has always loved crying since she was little. Your Majesty, I beg you to always give in to her..."
The Toffee only asks the Saint for me.
"Yes, I will give in to her all my life."
His Majesty readily agreed and he comforted Concubine Tong.
When a person is about to die, the concubine cannot tell what the reign title is.
Between life and death, I can swallow all grudges and change all love and hatred.
"Mother, please stay, please stay... I beg you..."
I cried and begged my mother.
The concubine said that she was powerless and would not agree to my request. He Nu and I knelt down and kowtowed again and again.
"Li'er, please protect Hime Hime for me. She's not feeling well. You can protect her as long as you can. I want to see her later..."
My mother asked me to protect Zhaoyang, and I agreed with tears in my eyes.
"Himehime..."
When the Concubine Dowager was dying, I called out to Princess Zhaoyang.
"The princess said she was tired and fell asleep at her desk."
The maid told me.
I got up and went to look for Zhaoyang. Seeing that she was sleeping alone, I touched her and called her softly, "Himehime, don't sleep..."
But... her body was colder than toffee. I thought my hands were frozen and I must have misperceived it, but... I couldn't hear her breath. I thought I was completely deaf.
My blood was boiling, but I was motionless. The saint noticed that something was wrong with me. He followed me and touched Zhaoyang's cold body.
"Mother, Himehime is fast asleep..."
Our eyes met, and we reached a consensus that we had concealed Himehime's death in a despicable and cowardly manner.
"This child..."
"Don't blame her..."
"At this time..."
"She should have gone to bed long ago..."
"She was frightened that day. Let her sleep..."
These were the last words Concubine Tong said in her life.
"good."
"good."
He Nu and I said in unison.
Princess Zhaoyang died young, and the Imperial Concubine Dowager passed away.
Overnight, Jishan Palace became an ownerless palace.
On the road to the underworld, the princess is one step ahead of the concubine.
I lost everything...
That night was so cold, I held Himehime's cold body in my arms, my eyes almost falling to the ground.
The doctor told me, "The princess died of fright."
Die of fear, die of fear, die of fear...
I died of fright, frightened because of me, frightened because of you.
That day, the tyrant emperor wanted to arrest me. All officials were on leave, the entire palace was silent, and all six palaces respected the emperor's orders and did not dare to move around at will.
The tyrant emperor killed his own sister in the name of protecting me.
My mother was seriously ill, and the princess wanted to leave Taiji Palace to find her two elder sisters. The palace gates were locked, so she went to Xingqing Palace to find the empress dowager, but Empress Dowager Feng refused to see her. She then went to Yongle Palace to find me, but was scolded by the emperor again.
She was alone and helpless, walking in the dark Tai Chi Palace.
She was weak and couldn't stand the cold.
She was small, sick, weak and timid.
She is a princess. From childhood to adulthood, she only knows the bitterness of taking medicine. She doesn't know what tiredness or death is.
The princess mistook tiredness for death.
Everyone in Jishan Palace was gathered around Concubine Tong, but she was left alone, hunched over her desk, and died.
Under the majesty of the saint, the princess was frightened to death.
The Heavenly Family is ruthless.
At that moment, I regretted it. Yes, I am a bastard, I am a disaster...
From the very beginning, I regretted it. I was wrong. I shouldn't have entered Prince Qing's Mansion, and I shouldn't have asked to live in Tong Ruren's courtyard.
Concubine Tong raised me with great kindness, but I killed her own daughter.
I have implicated Concubine Tong, and I will never be able to redeem myself even if I die.
I deserve death for killing the eldest princess.
Once upon a time, it was just a dream, and it would not end until both of us died.
The vows are in vain and will never be fulfilled.
"Princess, Princess, please, please wake up, please open your eyes. You are truly a noble lady, how can you die?"
I wish the father-in-law will cry for the princess.
Crying, the whole palace was crying. The saint was hypocritical and shed a few tears while holding Zhaoyang.
The princess's body was taken away from my arms by His Majesty.
She was lying there with her mother.
I couldn't bear to leave her. The tyrant emperor held me in his arms and whispered in my ear that he wanted me to forget Concubine Tong and Princess Zhaoyang from now on. He actually made me forget everything...
That's my mother, my sister, how could I forget? How could I forget?
"The late emperor was right. He chose you as his ruler, and it was a blessing for him. Your Majesty, you are a good emperor."
I pushed him away with all my strength and told him with a smile.
"That day in Yongle Palace, I should have shot the third arrow at you!"
I still said with a smile.
"Li Junqing, you are a tyrant!"
I cursed.
"Can you say that again?"
He was neither angry nor furious. His complicated expression might be due to guilt, disbelief in my words, or a concealment of sins.
The tyrant and I have too much hatred, too many involvements, and too heavy a sin. Even death is not enough to atone for it. Years of grudges and half a lifetime of entanglements cannot be explained clearly.
I didn't say anything else.
Instead, I smashed the jade flute at my waist, killing the saint just like I killed King Qi and King Ping. The tyrant king did not avoid the jade that was offered to him. He willingly waited for me to kill him. I would pierce his jade flute into his body and return his musical instrument to its original owner.
The death of the Concubine Dowager and the Princess, I am guilty of a great fault and you are guilty of a great sin.
Such an unfilial and unrighteous person deserves to be killed...
I killed the king and my master, and was caught on the spot by Eunuch Zhu and Eunuch Chang.
The blood instantly dyed the emperor's clothes red.
I will break all my vows and take his life without mercy.
He looked at me, he looked at the injury, he couldn't believe it.
"Why have you and I drifted further and further apart over the years?"
The saint was bleeding and he asked me while crying.
"It was you and I who killed my mother and Hime Hime. It was you and I. You deserve to die, and so do I."
I told him word for word.
"Li Junqing, from this moment on, you and I are irreconcilable and we are completely sworn in... Even if the rest of the world doesn't rebel against you, I alone will!"
The tyrant stretched out his bloody hand. Instead of killing me, he took the jade talisman from my waist and crushed it, which was stained with blood and tears.
The jade flute broke and the fish shattered, he told me in my ear.
"I will never let you leave Taiji Palace again."
"I will never let you leave me again."
The song ends, the people disperse, and all grudges are gone.
I killed the king and there is no way to survive.
Similarly, my relationship with this Tai Chi Palace has come to an end.
I bullied Concubine Feng every day, I killed my male favorite Yang Yanji, and I know all the embarrassments and sinister schemes of the Saint.
I alone plotted treason and regicide, so I wounded and killed him.
He won't let me die, nor will he let me leave Taiji Palace. He wants to make me a slave in the Ye Ting Palace, and he wants to trample on me and torture me forever.
When Princesses Huayang and Anyang arrived, I bit my tongue. I would rather die than surrender to the tyrant Emperor Li.
Looking at the corpses of Concubine Tong and Princess Zhaoyang, Huayang shouted, "Li Junqing, I'm going to kill you!"
But the saint was already covered in blood, and someone had tried to kill him but failed.
I tasted blood in my mouth, and that was the closest I had ever been to death.
But even if I die, I want to watch the tyrant die first.
I can't die, I want to live, I have to live well...
