Chapter 498 Unwilling
Shen Chuliu finished speaking and put away his smile: "You came at the right time. I have one more thing to tell you. If you can't give up your obsession, I can let you die with understanding."
"Your child shouldn't have suffered so much. It was Liu who drugged you, causing you to give birth to the child like that and prematurely. You should remember that you were always uncomfortable during your pregnancy, right?" Shen Chuliu said.
Yi Chongyuan was shocked: "Is it her?"
"It's her. Repaying in kind, isn't that fair?" Shen Chuliu smiled: "Actually, it's not fair. You fight with the Liu family, fight with me, fight with the Feng family... you always lose."
"You said you poisoned me, but actually you didn't. You can't do it, right? You can't get the Jiaoyan Pills." Shen Chuliu put away his smile and looked at Yi Chongyuan coldly.
Yi Chongyuan's face gradually turned blue-gray, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
"You came to me, do you really want an answer? No, maybe you do, but you're still unwilling to accept it. After you die, at least you hope that those who made you miserable will also have a miserable life, right? This naturally includes me. However, it also shows that you have no other choice. You don't have the ability of others to set up a plan for us to fight after death, so you are like this now."
"You just thought that Concubine Qian Shu was still alive, and maybe she would harm me again, right? You are so vicious and incompetent, your end is really not pitiful at all."
Shen Chuliu looked at her with a smile: "You took the blame for Empress Dowager Feng back then, and gained a little sympathy from the Emperor. Now you would rather take the blame until death than admit that you did it. Unfortunately, you still get nothing. Do you feel bad?"
"Every cause has its effect. So, why do we need to understand many things in this world? If you are unwilling to make others understand, how can you expect others to understand you?" Shen Chuliu said.
Yi Chongyuan didn't speak for a long time, then looked up and said, "I know. Your Majesty is really smart. Is it because of her different background or is she born this way?"
Yi Chongyuan thought that Concubine Jing didn’t have any love for the emperor... She was too rational in her life.
But why was Concubine Jing so rational at that time? How could she not be obsessed with such an emperor? And she had always felt that women from aristocratic families had different views. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"Who knows. It's getting late, you should go back." Shen Chuliu lost interest and said casually.
Since Yi Chongyuan refused to talk about what happened back then, she didn't want to ask. Empress Dowager Feng was dead, and Concubine Qian Shu could not do anything now. As for Yi Chongyuan, she was dying. She was just unwilling, but she didn't care. She even found it funny.
Yi Chongyuan looked at Shen Chuliu for a long time, but she didn't say anything. It was useless to say anything more. This woman who was much younger than her was smarter, more capable, and more far-sighted than her.
"Yes, then I will go back. After this departure, we will never see each other again. Take care, Your Majesty. As for Liu, it's better if she is alive so that she can take care of her." Yi Chongyuan stood up, did not salute, just smiled and walked out.
Shen Chuliu didn't even look at her back, he got up and went back into the house.
"Master, her visit won't cause you any trouble, right?" Chi Su was worried.
"What's the point?" He was about to die, without leaving any offspring, and without any close relatives.
Even the Li family broke up. Two years after her father died, her brother also died of illness.
Now there is only one nephew living with her mother.
Even if she is willing to bear the responsibility for what she didn't do back then, so what? Death is like the extinguishing of a light, what else can she see? Shen Chuliu shook her head and stopped caring about it.
The next day, when they paid their respects, everyone was curious, but not many dared to ask. Shen Chuliu said nothing, and since the Queen didn't ask, no one could find out.
Yi Chongyuan passed away on the night of the first day of August.
She was already at the end of her strength, and her conversation with Shen Chuliu not only helped her to untie the knot in her heart, but also made her feel even more heavy.
After all, most people have intentions. How many people are as cruel as Liu and do not regret it? Therefore, Yi Chongyuan, who was dying, still felt guilty and had let down too many people.
I also thought that it was because I was at fault and had harmed my child. The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't bear it.
Naturally, my health deteriorated day by day.
Before her death, she only left a letter to the emperor, in which, in addition to greetings and reluctance to leave, she also mentioned the people she had harmed.
The eldest prince, Ning’s child, Cao’s child.
But she also told the story of how she was wrongly accused of poisoning Shen.
At the end of the letter, she wrote: I have committed heinous crimes and am not worthy of entering the royal mausoleum. I only ask to be buried with my son.
Qi Yixiu read the letter and burned the candle directly, just pretending it was nothing.
Yi Chongyuan's request was destined to be impossible to achieve.
How could Qi Yixiu easily turn over the fact that it had already happened? After Yi Chongyuan died, she could only be buried in the mausoleum of concubines. And the prince who was not ranked had his own incense offerings.
However, Yi Chongyuan could only hold a funeral according to the rules for Chongyuan. There was no imperial decree, so she could only do it according to her position during her lifetime.
This proves that the emperor has something against her. Because even if a concubine who has never been favored passes away, as long as she has done nothing wrong, she will be given a higher title by imperial decree.
Therefore, her funeral was particularly sad.
Shen Chuliu was not surprised at all when she saw the emperor.
After pouring the tea, Shen Chuliu said, "Your Majesty, do you want to ask what Yi Chongyuan said some time ago?"
Qi Yixiu nodded.
"It's nothing, actually. She actually told me that she was the one who poisoned me." Shen Chuliu shook her head: "She probably doesn't want to accept it. She never won when she fought with me. The emperor knows me and doesn't like people to attack behind my back. I told her everything I know. For example, Liu poisoned her and caused her child to die early."
"She also told me about the attack on the eldest prince, Ning Zhaorong's child, and Concubine Cao's child."
Qi Yixiu raised his eyebrows. He didn't know that she was the one who gave birth to Ning's child.
"She said that she was deeply in love with the emperor, but the emperor let her down." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "Nonsense."
It is impossible that Yi Chongyuan said this.
"Of course, her original words were not like that, but that's what she meant." Shen Chuliu snorted, "They say that when a person is about to die, his words are kind. She can't bear to see others live well even when she is about to die."
Qi Yixiu took a sip of tea and said nothing.
Shen Chuliu saw the emperor's cold expression and said, "Yi Chongyuan was born in the Qiandi Palace, so it's reasonable for the emperor to be concerned about her."
"It's not that I'm worried about it." Qi Yixiu shook his head.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Actually, I understand her thoughts. She just doesn't want to say that she was wronged. She just doesn't want to accept it. She's been wronged for so many years anyway, so it doesn't matter if she's wronged for a few more years."
