Leng Qiyue continued to read.
"After the dynasty was established, Qi Yue of the East made some political changes, and the country soon became rich and strong, but unfortunately, I was never able to conceive. Although he did not say anything and did not listen to the Minister's words to build the harem, he had always doted on me. I thought I was the happiest woman in the world, but I was wrong.
Ever since the singer had entered the palace, she had stopped focusing on me and spent most of her time with that woman. Very quickly, that woman became pregnant. To think that Qi Yue had chosen a seat especially for her — Empress Xi Palace.
Every day, I would stand alone in the east building as I watched the birds sing and dance in the West Palace. Heavens, what did I do wrong? Why do you want me to be betrayed by that man for two lifetimes? The abandonment of love and the pain of death were both heart-tearing and lung-splitting!
On that new year, there was a banquet in the palace, and Qi Yue had used the Eastern Palace as a place to stay for the night. The next day, he didn't remember and said I was hysterical.
A month later, I found out that I was pregnant, but he refused to admit that it was his child, accusing me of infidelity.
The cold palace is not much more desolate than the east palace. Empress Xi Palace often bullies me. I grit my teeth and persevered in order to give birth to my child.
However, there was an unexpected situation. It was a heavy rain that day, and the cold palace was struck by lightning to ignite a huge fire. I was trapped inside the house. There was no way out, no way out. Just when I thought that I would die in the sea of fire, he rushed in anxiously to rescue me.
He is an emperor, and I am a woman who has been cast into a cold palace. Why would he disregard his own safety to save me? Did he still love me?
It is a pity that the Heavens did not give me the time to verify their words. I am sick. Today is the last day I am going to draw my brush. "Perhaps tomorrow, I will walk the path of the Yellow Springs with my son …"
When Leng Qiyue saw this, her heart was filled with questions. "Did she eventually die from illness?"
Dongfang Haotian shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's true. There's no record about it." "I remember there was a rumor among the people that she had become an immortal."
Leng Qiyue's face was filled with black lines as she forgot what she was holding and immediately threw it out. Dongfang Haotian also subconsciously dodged it, but that roll of notes directly smashed into the emperor's portrait, smashing it to pieces.
Dongfang Haotian quickly stretched out his hand to catch it and said, "What a sin …" "Huh?"
Leng Qiyue went over and asked, "What's wrong? Wouldn't it be fine if I just drop it and hang it up? "
Dongfang Haotian said with a serious expression, "This weight is wrong, it's so heavy."
Leng Qiyue received the portrait; it was indeed heavy. She touched the scroll, but it was cold to the touch. It actually wasn't made of wood. He then touched the wood on the top, which had a slight warmth to it. It was a top-grade sandalwood.
Dongfang Haotian and Leng Qiyue glanced at each other. They reached out their hands to grab the side of the scroll and twisted it. Then, they actually really twisted it open. Leng Qiyue raised the scroll and knocked it on her palm, causing a yellow silk to fall out.
Dongfang Haotian opened it and read through. His face became pale. Seeing that his complexion had changed, Leng Qiyue took it and unfurled it.
"The most shameful person in my life is Shuang'er. She is the woman I love the most, and also the only woman I love. It was a pity that she was a princess of the State of Heavenly Flute and could not bear the offspring of the royal family. Because once I give birth to a boy, I will definitely become the crown prince. In a hundred years' time, I will be the next emperor.
After taking the Breath of Turtle Pill for a long time, my body had become much bigger than before. For the sake of the country, I had to be accepted as a new concubine. It wasn't that I was averse to the old, but that the power behind the new concubine was great. If I continued to love Shuang'er, the new concubine would definitely harm her.
Finally, the new consort became pregnant. I just wanted to wait for her to give birth to Long Shuang and let them raise her together. This way, not only would she be able to solve the problem of having no children, but the two of them would also be able to work together to take care of the prince.
However, the heavens were messing with people, causing people to get drunk. Shuang'er was actually pregnant. The new imperial concubine also began to get angry, and her eyes couldn't contain the sand as she set fire to the cold palace.
Looking at the raging fire, I was really afraid that Shuang'er would be separated from me forever. Although I had saved her, the heavens had still taken her life.
That day, I looked at her from afar. She was sleeping soundly on the Imperial Consort's bed in the courtyard. Her face was pale. I was really afraid that she would disappear the moment I got close to her. But I didn't get close, and she disappeared.
Empress Xi'er purposely made a noise to wake Shuang'er up, and then made love to me in front of her. Shuang'er spat out a lot of blood due to the stimulation, and just as I was about to rush over to her, a ray of light suddenly shone through the sky, and I saw her body slowly rise into the air, until she completely disappeared …
Her words were always in my ears before she disappeared...
'Qi Yue of the East, one day, your country will definitely be destroyed by the daughter of Heaven … '
From then on, I strictly ordered that future generations must not take in the heavenly music girl as their imperial concubine. If they have to take her as their imperial concubine, they must not allow her to give birth to a prince. I don't know if doing so will prevent the curse from being fulfilled, but I have to be careful.
The day she left, the sun was dull and speckled like tears. "From then on, my heart is empty. My son grew up, and I have no desire to linger in this world. Shuang'er, I've come to find you …"
When Leng Qiyue saw this passage, she said, "The sun is dim and dull, speckled, like tears." He was even more certain that Leng Shuang was his ancestor.
If Leng Shuang did not die, she would have to rely on her divine power to travel back into her own time and space, and then give birth to Qi Yue's child, who would bear children and grandchildren, and become the eighth generation of her generation.
She still couldn't figure it out. If her imagination was real, then wouldn't she be the same person as Dongfang Haotian's ancestor? More or less. As the saying went, "People with the same surname were a family 500 years ago." It wasn't unreasonable. But they were no longer related by blood, right?
"What are you thinking?" Dongfang Haotian asked when he saw that she wasn't paying attention for a long time.
Leng Qiyue asked, "Just now, why did you turn pale when you saw all of this?"
Dongfang Haotian said, "It's nothing much. I just thought of Mu Fei. Fortunately, she didn't give birth to a baby, otherwise, it would have been a tragedy."
"What is it? Don't you know about this admonition? " Leng Qiyue asked.
Dongfang Haotian said, "I don't know. It has been several hundred years since the founding of the country. This warning might have been forgotten a long time ago."
"Oh, it seems like Leng Shuang misunderstood Dongfang Qiyue, and he didn't explain anything to her. In the end, it caused a grudge between the two of them." Leng Qiyue felt somewhat sad.
Dongfang Haotian held her and said: "From now on, I won't hide anything from you. I won't let you follow in the cold line."
Leng Qiyue was moved, and put her arm around his waist. "When I first entered the palace, I was miserably bullied by you. If I let you disperse my harem, would you be willing?"
