Pei Xiuyan was the son of the late queen. The son of the queen should have been born noble, but he seemed to be born with original sin.
His mother was the queen, but she had never smiled since she gave birth to him.
"Why isn't the Queen Mother happy?"
At that time, he raised his head, his beautiful black eyes full of confusion.
But the queen mother's phoenix eyes looked at him, full of sorrow and confusion, even mixed with a little resentment.
She seemed to be resentful of why he was born.
The Queen Mother's attitude towards him was sometimes hot and sometimes cold. When she was in a better mood, she would teach him to read and write, but most of the time when she was with him, she was filled with silence and lingering worry.
It seemed that it was because of him that she was imprisoned in this palace. He was the shackles of her mother.
I heard Aunt Huiyue, who was beside my mother, once mentioned that my mother didn't want to enter the palace.
Why did my father let my mother into the palace but then disliked her?
Pei Xiuyan would not hate his mother because of her neglect. He was thinking that as long as he was good enough, he would be able to get the attention of his father and mother, right?
But before that day came, he was ambushed.
He fell into poverty and was exiled from the palace. No one came to look for him during that time, including his mother. Although he was the emperor's son, he seemed more like an insignificant person.
He avoided kidnappers and, in order to survive, would pick up discarded food and leftovers, and use rainwater from puddles to quench his thirst.
Has he been abandoned...?
He thought he would live this kind of life from now on, but then his mother came.
The Queen Mother's makeup was all ruined. She hugged him and cried, whispering to him that this would never happen again.
He lowered his eyes and replied softly, "Okay."
From beginning to end, my father never showed up.
The Queen Mother began to treat him differently than before. She would take him to light lanterns and gently teach him to recite poems.
Looking at those eyes that hid a gentle smile, he wanted to be as gentle as his mother in the future.
If it weren't for what happened later, he secretly told himself that it would be nice to be able to continue like this.
In the end, the Queen Mother became like her favorite lantern, streaking across the sky like a shooting star, appearing briefly, and then drifting away along the river, never to be seen again.
He only knew that one day his mother disappeared, and then he heard the news of her death.
Being young, he had no idea what had happened. He only knew that he was made the crown prince and the concubine who had always been favored became the queen.
At first, his father would come to see him, but gradually he stopped coming.
His mother had passed away many years ago and was unable to protect him.
Just to get him a crown prince position,
The crown prince was appointed early on, and he shouldered the responsibilities of the prince since he was young.
He doesn't dare to play around and has a maturity that doesn't belong to his age.
But he was never afraid, just to gain his father's appreciation.
But no matter how hard he tried, he could not compare to others.
The end result was that his own hands were used by his father to block the knife.
It wasn't because he was in a panic, but among so many people, his father's first reaction was to let this nine-year-old child stand in front of him.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.
Just to secure the throne,
The emperor wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
He developed a heart disease and the doctor predicted that he would not live past the age of 25.
The funny thing is that he still holds the position of crown prince.
What’s even funnier is the reason why he was made the crown prince in the first place.
It was just that my father personally poured the poisoned wine into my mother's mouth to avoid suspicion from my mother's family. In order to stabilize his power, he made him the crown prince.
Back then, my father was attracted by my mother's beauty and the power behind her. Even though she already had a lover, he still forced her to marry him into the palace.
The Queen Mother's accidental meeting with her former lover caused the Emperor to suspect that the child was not his.
Even though it was later confirmed that he was of his bloodline, he was still despised.
Not abolishing him seemed to be due to guilt, but in fact it was to balance the fighting between the princes.
Without a crown prince, the people cannot be won over.
Anyway, a dying person poses no threat.
Just wait for him to die, and then decide the next crown prince based on the performance of these princes.
He thought he grew in the sun,
In fact, in hell,
There is no return.
He once wanted to be as gentle as his mother, but later he realized that gentle people would not be treated gently by others.
Others will only bully, look down on and humiliate them.
It's just because it's gentle and doesn't show its claws that people can sense the danger.
So his gentleness is just to plan something in secret and let others let down their guard.
He originally wanted to die with this country.
Later... he met a girl.
She told him that His Highness was a gentle man.
"Gentle people should be treated gently by the world."
She curved her eyes and smiled brightly.
He was startled, and the corners of his eyes softened.
Although the rest of life is short,
I wish to hold her hand and look at this country together.
He thought he met her just to avoid being too bored when he was nearing death.
But I never thought,
No one could save him.
Everyone gave up on him.
She is the only one,
Never leave or abandon.
