Ning Wanyin stared at the painting in front of her.
Memories flashed before my eyes.
I first met you in the fourth year of Yanchang.
In the eleventh year of Yanchang, I parted with you forever.
They scheme against each other and guard against each other.
First they were the monarch and his subjects, then the emperor and his concubines; they could never be just an ordinary couple.
Looking back, Ning Wanyin had no resentment towards the emperor. She would not ask an emperor to trust her and favor her exclusively.
She had planned every step along the way, and at the same time she had also been touched.
However, it is impossible for people to be moved when their fate is not in their own hands.
No matter how sincere he is at this moment, as long as he is alive and as long as he can kill her at any time, Ning Wanyin will never be moved.
Those in a lower position seek a living, while those in a higher position seek love.
Everything she did was to reach the highest position and control her own life.
If Helian Qi had not died young...
They may become enemies in the future.
But time just stopped at this moment, staying in their best years.
Stay at this moment when he is willing to paint all the memories for her.
Ning Wanyin's tears dripped down.
When Ning Wanyin came to her senses, she realized that she was crying.
After all, they had been together for eight years, and after all, he had accompanied her out of the palace when she was most sad. Over the years, in addition to calculations of interests, there were also some touching moments and warmth between them.
They are not lovers, but also teacher and student, chess friends, allies, and "husband and wife".
Bonds are mutual. You use this as a trap to make him treat you differently, but the other end of the string is tied to yourself.
During these eight years, he was also her closest bedmate. These were also Ning Wanyin's eight years.
Although there is no love, there is friendship.
Ning Wanyin knew very well that she and Helian Qi were destined not to be able to love and stay together.
Just like the other way around...
Helian Qi would not fall in love with her when his life was in her hands.
Ning Wanyin, who is now the superior, will recall her memories when she sees these paintings, and will feel grateful for his friendship and shed a tear for her old friend. If she were Ning Wanyin, who is the inferior, she would only continue to seek the emperor's favor and move forward cautiously, and she would not look back.
Ning Wanyin sat alone in the painting pavilion for a long time.
From dawn to dusk.
It's snowing heavily outside the window.
It was not until the lights were turned on that Ning Wanyin got up and left the painting pavilion.
Thank you for your care in the past.
I will walk the rest of the way alone and I will do it carefully.
…
In the winter of the eleventh year of Yanchang, the emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Prince Xi ascended the throne.
According to the Great Yan ancestral system, the concubines of the previous emperor who were the main ones and gave birth to children were moved to the Cining Palace and Shoukang Palace. The rest of the concubines of lower rank were moved to Shuiyue Temple for retreat.
However, the Cining Palace and other palaces are now full.
Ning Wanyin issued an imperial decree that in the spring of next year, all concubines, regardless of their rank, would be sent to the Mountain Resort to live out their retirement years.
Let everyone stay where they are for now. It’s not convenient to move away in this cold weather.
"Master, Concubine De is seriously ill and the situation is not good!" Lian Rui came in to report.
Concubine Dowager De (formerly Concubine Zhuang) has been ill since the day the emperor passed away, and her illness has become more serious in recent days.
Ning Wanyin frowned, "What did Judge Zhao say?"
"President Zhao said that Concubine De is overly grief-stricken and trapped in her heart. Heart disease can only be cured by heart medicine. Even if he uses more medicine, she cannot be saved... If Concubine De's condition does not improve in the next two days, I'm afraid she can't be saved." Lian Rui replied.
Ning Wanyin was silent for a moment, then said, "Use the best medicine to take care of her first, and let the princess spend more time with her. Let the imperial physician carry her to the East Warm Pavilion tomorrow, and let Han Xun meet her."
Her heart disease will ultimately depend on whether she can get through it.
Also, let her meet her family.
There are many other things in this world worth caring about besides men.
Of course, if she can't get over it, no one can save her.
"yes."
…
In Linlang Palace.
The strong smell of medicine filled the air and everyone's faces looked solemn.
The eldest princess knelt beside the bed and cried with tears in her eyes.
Her father had just passed away and her mother was about to die. The eldest princess was very sad, helpless and terrified.
Zhao Yuanpan and others changed several prescriptions.
"This prescription is indeed the right one..."
"Alas, Your Majesty is too worried. This medicine will not work unless Your Majesty can figure it out herself..."
In the end, it was Concubine Dowager De who decided to follow the late emperor.
Therefore, there is no cure.
Just when Linlang Palace was filled with gloom and sadness, Tang Miaoling and Wei Yingya arrived together.
Tang Miaoling was carrying a green parrot, while Wei Yingya was carrying a bunch of snacks.
Wei Yingya knew that Concubine De didn't need any snacks right now, so this was made for the eldest princess.
"Why are you here?" Concubine Dowager De was lying on the couch in a daze due to her illness. She was a little surprised to see the two people.
Tang Miaoling placed the parrot in front of her. "I heard that you were seriously ill, so I came to see you. I heard that you have a heart disease. You don't want to be buried with me, do you?"
Concubine De just shed tears and said nothing.
She and Helian Qi have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. She knows that Helian Qi's affection for her is partly because he saved her life and partly because he is valued by his brother.
But she couldn't avoid falling deeply in love with Helian Qi.
The last time she was poisoned, most of the hope that kept her alive was due to Helian Qi.
Now he is gone...
She doesn't want to live anymore.
"Sister Han, please don't be so foolish. Look at the eldest princess. She just lost her father, and now she lost you. What will she do?" Tang Miaoling quickly advised.
