Gu Xi Mu no longer looked at Su Yue Wu. She bitterly smiled and said, "You know about it already?"
Su Yuewu replied, "At the beginning, I was just a little suspicious. I was just confirming it a second ago." Does Gu Ximing know? "
He had a self-deprecating look on his face as he said, "How could I dare to tell him about my dirty and unbearable feelings?"
He fell into deep thought and said slowly, "He is such a merciful man. I was only six when I first saw him, and he was only eight. I told you before, my mufei is in the cold palace, we lack clothing and food. His mother had been a queen, and he had grown up in the light.
When I met him, it was probably my worst moment. The palace maid had not brought food for me and my mother for a long time, and since there was no water, she could only keep on drinking. The palace maid did not say anything, but I was so hungry that I ran to the entrance of our palace and saw a palace maid with a tray in her hand.
I threw myself on the maid, and the pastry on her tray fell to the floor. By then, his body was all scraped and bruised, but he didn't feel any pain at all, so he wolfed down the pastries into his stomach. He seemed to remember to keep a few for his mufei, so he stuffed them into his sleeves.
The palace maid and the guard were both afraid. The guards were afraid that others would see me stepping out of the cold palace, but the palace maid was worried that she wouldn't be able to report in. "Just at this time, big brother came."
Gu Ximing's eyes were filled with yearning. He added, "The princes of the palace all wear dark yellow clothes, including me. But he doesn't. He just likes to wear green clothes with bamboo leaves, looking like he's wearing azure after the rain.
And he came upon them, and took me into his arms. He looked at them, his gaze clearly gentle but full of irresistible majesty. "What are you doing? Don't you know that this is the second prince of the Liu Li Empire?
The two servants were very scared and quickly kneeled down. Big brother patted me back then. He was clearly a child himself, but he said to me, "Ah Mu, don't be afraid. Big brother will protect you." He then glanced at the two and said, "You two may leave. I will take responsibility for this matter."
With just that one sentence, I felt as though he had suddenly grown taller in my heart. He took my hand and led me behind a rockery that few people knew about. He told me to wait for him, and I just put the crumbs in my arms slowly and carefully on my sleeve to wipe the dust off. Mother hasn't eaten yet. Big brother came back, followed by a girl slightly older than us.
She took out all the dishes from the food box. My brother said they were all mine. I hadn't eaten anything as delicious as this since I was born. Like a hungry wolf, I swept away all three dishes. He looked at the pastries on my clothes and was about to throw them away.
But mufei did not eat, even now, I and mufei will still starve after eating. I grabbed the snacks and carefully hid them under my clothes. The elder brother touched my head and said, "Ah Mu, it's time for the heart. Can you throw it away?"
I just shook my head. He asked why, and I said, "Mufei... Later... Hungry … At that time, I couldn't even speak properly, so he understood what I meant. He said, "From now on, big brother will send you food every day. Can you give big brother some snacks to eat?" After saying that, he took the dusty pastries and finished it without even frowning.
You've seen that gentle girl before. Her name is Li Yan, and she's precisely Imperial Concubine Su. Most of the other girls are also people from Big Brother's palace. Ever since I had met my brother, Smokey had brought us food every day, as well as regular tea leaves, clothes, charcoal, and quilts. I no longer had to worry about not being full and wearing warm clothes.
But my brother still changed me, the day he came to look at me playing with the kataku, said: "Ah Mu, brother will teach you to learn." So Master taught him something in class, and he came back to teach me something, and I had to do some of the homework he wanted to do.
Although Mufei was gentle, she had never criticized my studies, but my brother was different. He had learned much more than I had in the morning, so I couldn't understand what those books meant, and I didn't want to write those strategies for governing a country.
However, my brother hit me. Do you believe me? That kind of gentle elder brother slapped my hand with the ruler three times. I cried and said, feeling wronged, "Anyway, I've stayed here in this crappy cold palace my entire life. I've learned so much. What's the use of doing the governance plan?" He hugged me and cried as well, saying, "Ah Mu, just bear with it. Big brother won't let you stay here. Listen to your brother and learn more. It won't be for you, so just consider it as your brother's and your mufei's, okay? "
For the first time, he wept in front of me. As he blew on my red and swollen hands, I suddenly felt as if my heart had melted. From then on, I studied under him and never complained again. I didn't understand during the day, so I continued to read at night. I didn't understand anymore, so I asked him the next day after he left school.
Slowly, I began to approach him, to overtake him. He said, "Ah Mu, do you want to think of another way to make mufei happy?" I asked what method she had, and she told me about the girl that royal father adored. The next day the smoke brought the seeds of lavender.
Even though we knew it was shameful, my mother and I were still carefully planting lavender, watching it slowly grow branches, watching it bud, watching it bloom into a purple sea of flowers.
The day that the royal father arrived, he was still impatient. When he saw the flower, his eyes started to become infatuated. He looked at his mother, "Yan'er, is that you?" Mufei smiled lightly and replied, "It's me."
The next day, my mother and I regained our freedom. When my brother came to see me, his right cheek was so swollen. How could I not know that it must have been the empress who found out about his good deeds? I tried to touch it, but he dodged.
I began to go to school with him. The teachers all loved him, and I heard that the courtiers all liked him. I was very happy. Everyone had found out about his good points, just like me, so I became even more mischievous. If I wasn't sleeping or causing trouble during class, the teachers would all sigh and say that rotten wood couldn't be carved into wood. Only my brother would touch my head and say, "Ah Mu, you're not like this."
I did not care about the throne, but one day, just as I was about to pay my respects to my royal father and walk out the door, I heard my royal father say with an intoxicated voice, "Xiuyu, how about you come down and accompany me in death after I've been with you for a hundred years?" I didn't hear mufei's reply, but I knew that I definitely wouldn't let mufei die, and I had to rely on myself.
I contacted my mother's uncle. With the help of my brother's power, he was able to participate in the war and slowly rise above the masses. Only when there's someone in the imperial court, who has military authority, can I remove the man I called father.
My brother gave me a book that recorded the pharmacology of all kinds of medicinal herbs. I slowly tested the medicine and finally came up with a poison that was painless and made people's heart clogged up. Then, I unknowingly died.
I seduced one of the young eunuchs at my father's side and gave him the medicine. He looked at me in fascination and kissed me tentatively. I thought about it, but I didn't have the power to refuse. But the instant my lips touched mine, I thought of my brother.
My brother knew what I was going to do, but he said nothing. How could someone as clever as the empress, who had paved the way for her son, allow me to obstruct her? She hid from her brother and also sighed when she saw me. "Child, you're a bit bewitched." Am I bewitched? How could I not know? I didn't answer her, just kept going.
The royal father's health was declining day by day, most of his time was spent recuperating in bed, his elder brother wearing the crown prince's crown to rule for him. He wore a yellow robe that looked pretty, but from start to finish, it didn't look like Qing Yi. It served as a foil to his appearance.
One day, he saw me pass the white medicine bag to the eunuch. He looked at me as if he didn't believe me. What should I do? You saved the wrong person, this unclean Ah Mu. I knew I had changed, but it still hurt to think he would be sad. He had held me twice in his life, once for the first time, and once at this time, he murmured, "Ah Mu, how did you become like this?" I wanted to cry, but I couldn't.
After that, he met you and came back to do his own thing in the study. I sneaked in to take a look and saw that each and every one of them was a portrait of you. Then my uncle told me that you were going to raise me to the throne. Can I refuse? Even if it's for my brother's sake, or for mufei's sake, I have no reason to reject.
When I personally fed the last piece of poison to my royal father, he was still muttering, "Yan Er … "Yan'er …" Ironically, he had died from the poison made by the person he loved. My uncle and I were in cahoots. When the palace changed, we lost a lot of blood. The empress hanged herself, but my brother was gone.
Liyan told me he was dead, and I found a skeleton with a jade pendant. Why am I not happy when I wear a bright yellow dragon robe and have so many enemies' blood under me, when countless of my subjects are kneeling down and shouting "Long live, long live!" to give my mother the best life?
I've made all of Smoke and all the people in his palace my concubines, and I hate all women except them. I could talk to them all afternoon and listen to them talk about my brother when he was a kid.
Mufei also said, "Child, you're bewitching." She had passed away last winter, too, and for the first time in many years it had snowed so hard that it would bury everything. There was a land dragon burning in the palace. I had put on very thick clothes, but it was still cold, like the wind blowing into my heart.
I've lost the two most important people in a year.
Until he came to court for you, but didn't have the slightest resentment, he said A Mu, you don't want to marry her, I said. He said he wanted to stay with you. I clung to him, but why did he ignore my feelings, or did he just die like that?
He let out a low sob. He took a handkerchief from his sleeve and asked, "Is this yours?" Su Yuewu slowly took it. It was the one she had given him the other day to wipe away the rain. He had said that he would return it after washing it, but he had kept it in his bosom. Su Yuewu also began to cry.
Such a beautiful person like that bamboo had truly left them forever.
