Chapter 286 I Don’t Want You Anymore
"It's useful, it's useful. When did I ever stand up for him? I just said that casually."
"It's no use talking about it, I'm narrow-minded!"
At this time, the man was not the emperor. He seemed to have become Li Changhuai many years ago, the willful and unreasonable guy.
"Now you admit that you're petty? What did you say about me back then?"
"I was wrong, don't be angry, wife."
The queen sighed.
"I'm not angry, I just feel my death wasn't grand enough. I didn't die on the battlefield, nor did I die in a fight. In the end, I was tricked by the insignificant Song family. Ahem... It's really shameful..."
"Wife, save your energy and let me do it. Song Qingshan, that bastard, is such a scoundrel with no brotherly love. I won't let him go even if I become a ghost!"
The emperor hugged his wife tightly and joined her in cursing the Song family as bastards.
"I was so upset that I married my children to him out of our old relationship. Now I think I was so wrong! If I had won the throne earlier, I would have found a reason to kill him, his meritorious officials, and all those noble families. How could we have such a mess now?
And that blind idiot, the third brother, what the hell is that? Why can't he learn from my strengths? How come I'm so good at choosing a wife? Damn it, he's really screwing me over!"
It can be seen that the emperor is really good at cursing. If he is given the opportunity to perform steadily, normally there will be no repeated words within half an hour.
The queen knew what a scoundrel her husband had been, so she didn't want to sigh. But since she was about to die, she had to say a few words on her son's behalf.
"The third son's marriage was also approved by us. You can't blame it all on the child. He doesn't know that Song Ziying is being used as a pawn by the Song family. You, cough cough cough, don't take your anger out on him."
"I know I have my own share of responsibility, but is he completely blameless? If he had been a little smarter, would he have been able to help Song Ziying pull off such a big deal?
Well, if I hadn't considered him as my own son, and if I hadn't considered that he had done quite a good job as a prince, I would have taken him with me when I chopped off the Song family!"
"Another angry remark..."
"Can't I say I can't do it?"
The emperor grumbled unhappily and hugged his wife a little tighter.
"Forget it, my children are all debts! I'll just consider it as something I owed him in my previous life, and I'm here to pay it back in this life. I hope he can pass on my Dayu Dynasty well and not let the common people live a life worse than death.
Forget it, I don't want to worry about those useless things anymore. After all, we'll both be dead by then, and I don't care what these little bastards who are still alive do.
He rubbed his wife's forehead with his cheek again, and his voice returned to its original gentleness.
"Wife, I will stay with you from now on. I owe you too much in this life. In the next life or the next, I will stay by your side and work like a slave to repay my debt. Is that okay with you?"
The queen struggled to raise her head in his arms and looked into his drooping eyes. The tears in them made her sigh with difficulty.
"Don't be so upset. You'll have to leave anyway, sooner or later. If it really doesn't work out, just think of me going back to my parents' home, okay?"
"Okay, then you can go back to your parents' home first and help me take good care of my parents and brothers. I'll stay here to arrange the funeral and will be there to accompany you in a few days."
"You are not allowed to come."
A sad smile appeared on his weak face.
"Li Changhuai, I've been exhausted these past few years. Can you please let me have some peace and quiet? Well, your symptoms are milder than mine anyway, so take good care of yourself from now on.
Be less angry and less worried, and try to live a few more years.
If my sister is willing to have you, then, cough cough cough, you can go to Guangping Mansion to accompany her in the future, and don't bother me. Remember to be nice to my sister, because we owe her this."
Now the emperor's tears finally fell.
"Shu'er, do you really not want me anymore?"
"Well, no."
The queen's eyes were filled with the vastness of the world after she had let go. She didn't know whether she still loved this man, but she was very sure that she really didn't want to continue to be entangled with him for the rest of her life.
Leaning in his arms, she suddenly recalled how miserable she was many years ago. Even now, she still shed tears when she thought about it.
"Back when you were trapped in Wujia Town, I went to the Zhao family with a big belly to find a wife for my husband. My sister said that she felt sorry for me and she didn't want to take my position as wife, but she couldn't make her own decision.
Ahem... ahem... but I can make my own decision! I married her to you in a formal ceremony, so how has she ever wronged me?
It was you, Li Changhuai, who wronged me, do you know that?"
"I know."
The emperor raised his hands and rolled up his sleeves, crying and carefully wiping his wife's tears. But how could he wipe away all the grievances and sorrows he had suffered over the years?
The queen's eyes were blank, her mind filled with the past.
"Later, ahem, you were surrounded by the previous dynasty and fled to Jiulong Mountain. It was Second Brother's mother who risked all her life in the Huang Clan Village to help you escape. When you returned with Huang Mulan, I cried all night. Do you remember?"
"Remember."
His wife had beaten him, and then she cried inside while he cried outside. He couldn't explain to her the danger he and his brothers had been forced into. If it weren't for the Huang Family Village's help, they would surely have been buried deep in the mountains.
"Later, He Fang appeared, Lin Zhiqing appeared, and more and more people appeared..."
The queen's tears became hotter and hotter.
"So, Li Changhuai, I really don't want you anymore. Don't die with me. I want to be alone in peace and quiet.
From now on, you should go and accompany your elder sister.
She has a worse life than me. She has been with you for half her life, and has been miserable for half her life. You are also sorry for her..."
"I'm sorry to neither of you nor to anyone else."
The emperor interrupted the queen.
"But my wife, they and I had all sorts of exchanges of interests in the beginning, and I have done my best to compensate them.
You're the only one I haven't done anything I promised you. Whether it's you or the Qiao family, ahem, you're the ones I feel the most sorry for.
Wife, please don't leave me.
In my next life, I will never rebel again. I will just live a peaceful life with you. Whether it's chopping wood or hunting, or if all else fails, I'll beg for food to feed you!
I will never be an emperor again, and I will never sell my body again. Please don’t abandon me, please… cough cough cough… cough…”
Perhaps it was because he was too sad and had strong emotions, the emperor couldn't help but feel the bloody smell in his throat, but he swallowed it hurriedly.
