The death of the first emperor and the accession of the young emperor are undoubtedly the best outcome.
The Empress Dowager controls the government, supplemented by the Regent, under the name of the young emperor.
This is what I expected from the beginning.
Everyone thought I was a king with a different surname. It was because I was smart and loved by the former Emperor when I was young. Only I knew that I was just an inappropriate product of the former Emperor's drinking and losing control and giving birth to a palace maid.
The mammy who took care of me said that when my mother conceived me, she was assigned to the cold palace as a job, just to hide people's eyes and ears and let my mother live and die.
But what they don't know is that even in the face of such difficulties, my mother gave birth to me, but she died.
Later, the emperor ordered someone to send me secretly to an official's house, but I didn't feel the temperature of family affection. I only felt the indifference and fear of the family.
When I was eight years old, a Taoist came to my family. He told my family that I shouldn't have been born. I hit Dai Sha and didn't live to be 25 years old.
I clearly saw the joy and relief in their eyes.
From that moment on, I knew that I was an unknown person, a person who should not exist in this world.
At the age of 10, the senior general came to my house as a guest. He was accompanied by a six-year-old boy in small armor. He was in high spirits, which made me have a strong liking for the military camp.
That night, the general and my father drank and talked happily. I couldn't get up on my knees outside the door and begged the general to take me under his command. Even if I were a small soldier, I would be willing.
The general didn't know my true identity. He thought I was the son of a minister in the central court. Seeing my sincere attitude, he wanted to promise, but he was rejected. The next day, my father secretly met the first emperor and allowed me to be a small soldier in the frontier.
Since then, I have repeatedly fought miracles. I also heard that the first emperor refined pills and pharmaceuticals in pursuit of immortality. In the end, he died and the world was in chaos again.
So far, I was recalled to the palace. The first queen knew that I was the illegitimate son of the emperor and warned me that she crushed me like an ant. The reason why she told me the truth was because she wanted me to know that I was only born of a humble maid in waiting.
In fact, I was really shocked when I heard these things.
But I soon recovered my peace, because I knew that no matter who I was, I was always me.
The queen asked me to come first just to remind me that I am not qualified to compete for the throne, and I have never had the idea.
Fortunately, she left me a way to live and sent me to a small town at the border.
When the little emperor ascended the throne, he begged the former queen, that is, the empress dowager, and asked me to go to the border to revive my home. I knew that there had been war and desolation before. It was undoubtedly a distribution to ask me to go there.
But no matter where I go, the result is the same. I thank the little emperor for leaving me a way to live.
Even because of my repeated miracles, I was granted a different surname king and told the Empress Dowager to let me revive my home in the name of a different surname king, which was more dignified.
When I got there, I really saw a desolation, but I also met an interesting person here. I am eager to worship her as a teacher.
It seems that I have never been happy in the past 20 years. Instead, I found myself in this small town.
I want to be a happy prince and spend the rest of my life here.
But God is not beautiful. Just when I thought I could spend my last time here carefree, my heart suddenly cramped.
According to the imperial doctor's diagnosis, I suffered from angina pectoris. Indeed, as the divine calculation said, I can't live for a few years.
I laughed and decided to fight with God. Even if I live one more day, I will win.
My life depend on myself not the fate.
I met many familiar people here, including the little general of that year. I didn't expect him to be here.
At the same time, I met a special little girl here. Her parents sent her to my house for their own benefit.
Who knows, I am a prince who is not mentioned by external rumors.
I know that a girl would never marry someone like me unless she was abandoned and used by her family.
Therefore, she is a poor and sad woman. I must not destroy her. Therefore, he has been married to me for more than a year, and I have never touched his finger.
I just want to appoint another family to let her live a good life in the future, and I am not her lover.
But what I don't know is that she was a jealous woman, from the beginning of her smile to the end of her jealousy.
And I was finally discouraged by her.
I think if it weren't for that later, maybe she would stay in my house until I left, or until I found another good family.
I never thought that the neighboring country would want to marry, but no one in the court would accept it. The Empress Dowager had no choice but to betroth her to me.
Absurdity is hard to do. Naturally, I can't resist, so I can only accept it gladly.
It's funny that I've never touched the princess. She was unexpectedly pregnant.
People came to congratulate me, but I smiled and said nothing.
But in three months, she couldn't bear it. Anyway, no matter who marries me, I owe her.
However, this matter was still known by Nianyu. She thought it was my child. A cup of poisonous wine gave her a young and beautiful life. I gently hugged her in my arms and said to her, "Nianyu, it's wrong. You misunderstood. You misunderstood from the beginning."
But she could no longer hear. She closed her beautiful eyes forever.
I know her nature is not bad, but she is not willing to be ignored.
I also know that there is such a person in her heart. I know if she doesn't say it.
She sleeps underground, and I accompany her every festival.
It was another year when osmanthus bloomed. With osmanthus wine in my hand, I sat at her grave and said to her, "look, osmanthus bloomed again. I'm 25 years old."
I drank up the wine in my hand.
Then I filled another glass. I smiled at her and said, "you see, I survived at the age of 25, so I won it."
I looked like a sweet scented osmanthus tree not far away. In a trance, I seemed to see her figure. She was smiling at me.
After many years, I always wanted to tell her, Nianyu, why don't you wait for me a few more days?
One more thing I want to say to her.
Just as I opened my mouth, a bout of colic came through my chest again.
I know I can't avoid what should come.
Although God let me win for a while, I still didn't forget to fulfill my promise.
I slowly climbed towards the tombstone, bit my finger and drew it with blood.
Hold the hand of your son and grow old with your son. I wish I could live in the next life.
In a trance, I saw her coming from a distance, as gentle and beautiful as ever. I know that she came to pick me up.
