Empty White
The autumn day breaks.
That day, the king looked back on horseback and was displeased.
At the Guanyin Zen Temple, I watched the saint with a smile on my face, my heart filled with joy.
Not long after the tyrant left, Yan Qi entered the temple.
Close the door, cover the windows, and have a private conversation with your Majesty's personal guards.
On that day, at that moment, in that room, there were only me and Yan Jia Dalang.
Yan Qi told me that several years ago, in the apricot forest...
The King of Qi threatened the Emperor with my life. To protect me, the Saint vowed not to pursue the King of Qi's fault. Your Majesty offered all of Concubine Xue's children, the lives of the entire Xue family, and a hundred years of wealth and glory, just to exchange for my life...
The Lord promised to release the King of Qi to his fiefdom and make him king, never to pursue him, never to investigate, never to hold him accountable, never to attack him, and to allow him to mint coins, sell salt, store grain and support his army, and mine gold. After his death, he would be granted the title of Emperor...
His Majesty wishes to appoint the Prince of Qi as Crown Prince. He pledges his loyalty to the Emperor, appeasing the noble families and promising the Emperor no joke...
"Your Majesty is willing to pardon the entire clan of the rebel king in exchange for your life. Auntie, don't you understand the Lord's intentions?"
Yan Qi asked me back.
"What is your Master's intention?"
I smiled.
"The King of Qi will undoubtedly die. Our sage first gave the King of Rebellion a little sweet treat, then immediately killed him, gave him a little hope, then immediately extinguished it. Killing people and destroying their hearts is the way of the Son of Heaven. This is the unique pleasure of the emperor. Doesn't Dalang understand?"
I asked Yan Qi with a smile.
I laughed and Yan Qi was furious.
He suppressed his anger and spoke to me in a seemingly kind way, whispering to me.
"I, Erlang, Luo Jiao, and Luo Ran, have earned Your Majesty's respect, high office and generous salary, and the Emperor's favor... all thanks to Aunt's grace and favor. If it weren't for Aunt, let's say Luo Weize, just based on his temper, he would have died thousands of times in this Jingzhao Chang'an... Aunt, think carefully about your past actions. They were barbaric and unruly, worthy of death a thousand times over. Why, then, does the Emperor not punish you?"
"Why?"
I don't know the truth, I can't predict the truth, and I have no choice but to ask.
Yan Qi took a deep breath and hardened his heart.
"Although the imperial concubines in the palace are favored, those ladies combined are far inferior to you, aunt. Aunt, even if you seek the throne today, the saint may not be able to fulfill your wish."
Yan Qi suppressed his anger and told me painfully.
"Your Majesty loves my aunt the most, and the Emperor loves and respects you the most."
He said it in pieces, and I listened calmly.
"Although these words may make Auntie sad, they are not false at all."
He said that the saint treated me very well, and it was me who was ungrateful from the beginning to the end.
I turned around and sat down silently, just spitting out a mouthful of blood. Yan Qi suppressed his anger and hurriedly wiped the blood for me.
I looked at him, I pointed at my face, I exposed my neck, I tapped my ears, and I showed him my injuries.
The imperial power is hard to resist. I used up all my strength and was injured all over, but I still couldn't escape.
I am in this Guanyin Zen Temple. My body is not at ease, but my mind is not imprisoned.
Yan Qi is not in Taiji Palace, so he does not need to be tortured and humiliated by the emperor. He always says that the emperor is good in every way, and I am just a bad guy who does not know what is good for him and has committed heinous crimes.
Like? Love?
I just want to ask, how many Tongbao coins are the emperor's favor and your majesty's love worth?
The tyrant emperor took away everything from me. He killed Concubine Tong and frightened the eldest princess to death. My relatives died tragically and I was covered in wounds.
He humiliates me at every turn, and I humiliate him in a different way.
Use it if it is useful, throw it away if it is useless.
I'm not obedient? You want me to be obedient?
Let Your Majesty scold me, let the Emperor beat me, let the Emperor humiliate me.
The emperor could depose and enthrone the queen with just one word. The queen of Taiji Palace was no different from a slave.
Yan Qi is a boy.
He had been the most vicious person in his life, but he just died a violent death.
How could he know the coldness of the deep palace? I knelt outside the Yongle Palace on a snowy night to admit my mistakes and repent. I was beaten and scolded by Concubine Feng and Concubine Xue during the day, and humiliated by the emperor at night. My body was broken and my heart was humble. The people in the deep palace had thousands of ways to torture me, beating, humiliating, trampling, tearing me apart, and forcing me to work.
I am in Taiji Palace. Soon, I will become a walking corpse without flesh, blood, or soul. I will no longer be myself. From now on, only a shadow that is barely recognizable as a human will remain...
The eldest son of the Yan family has the merits of his father and the protection of his grandparents. He does not need to serve in the Taiji Palace of Prince Qing's Mansion since he was a child. He does not put in any effort or blood, but only makes a few humiliating jokes. He actually says that the emperor loves and respects me, and it is nonsense to say that the emperor is worthy of me.
I just find it ridiculous.
I am an unclear bastard, not a cheap bone who can’t distinguish between love and hate.
"I won't believe a single word you say..."
I couldn't stop spitting blood at Yan Qi.
"What I said is absolutely true."
Yan Qi, he still refused to give in.
The emperor spoke of love and joy.
In my opinion, this is shocking news, I have never heard of it before.
"Even if the emperor really likes me, does that mean... I have to obey him?"
I spit out blood and asked the question repeatedly.
"Of course, of course, he's the Son of Heaven!"
Yan Qi lowered his head and answered me.
The three generations of the Yan family fought with the Li family for power and status, not for slavery. Yan Qi wanted to be a slave, but he wanted to be a loyal minister. He even recognized the red letter and white horse from both the Li and Yan families. I laughed at him for being so ridiculous.
The glory of the Yan family ended here, and the generations to come would never be able to reach it...
Yan Qi, my younger brother.
For his own glory and wealth, for his high position and generous salary, for his Majesty the Emperor, he persuaded and helped me to push me into the fire pit. He wanted me to swallow the blood feud. In order to save his own life and for the sake of the entire family, he persuaded me to serve the emperor for his amusement.
For the sake of his saint, he did not hesitate to lie and make me sad and cry.
The world is so cold and indifferent that the imperial power is being torn apart.
If Yan Qi is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
"You can't see the wounds covering my body, but your eyes are filled with pity for the emperor. Dalang is loyal to the emperor and loves him. You are a loyal minister of the Li family. You shed tears for His Majesty, and your heart is devoted to the emperor. I am just a disabled person, with no heart or strength left. I don't care about your wealth and glory, but you only want to be covered in glory. Fortunately, His Majesty loves both men and women. Dalang should not sell your relatives for glory. You should undress and offer yourself to the emperor, and ask to sleep on the emperor's dragon bed!"
"You should purify yourself and become a slave in Taiji Palace!"
Yan Qi fell to the ground. He couldn't believe it. He didn't want to devote himself to the emperor, but he persuaded me to return to Taiji Palace.
He left me.
After Dalang left, King Guangcheng arrived.
Li Junming held the sword and cursed me, saying that I was a witch. For the sake of the Li family, the Li Dynasty, and the emperor's reputation, he wanted to cut me into pieces and kill me with one sword.
Yan Qi, Li Junming, and He Nu’s close associates.
I want to remove Henu from the Li family and threaten the emperor's position.
I dragged He Nu off the throne, and he sent my own brother to kill me, and sent his brother to kill me.
The emperor's revenge came so quickly and so cruelly.
I am frankly vicious, and he is even more vicious.
I will die the same way the King of Qi dies.
I was spitting out blood, but I wasn't in pain or sad. I was just admiring the tyrant's powerful schemes and tactics.
The emperor, the Son of Heaven, he is excessively cruel and vicious enough.
I've seen it, tasted it, and learned the lesson, so naturally I must retaliate fiercely...
I will definitely take revenge for all the vengeance I have received today.
