Chapter 20 Qin Yu Extra
I am Qin Yu, an ordinary prince, but because of my mother's ambition, my life is destined to be extraordinary.
Not many people in the palace were happy about my birth. On the contrary, I became a thorn in the side of many people.
I thought that although my father didn’t come to see me very often, he still loved me. I always respected him and wanted to be the king that others described.
But I dare not say it casually, because in this deep palace, anyone who says such things will undoubtedly die very early.
I thought I would have a mother-in-law who loved me, but the way she looked at me always had some cold and invisible emotions in her eyes.
I thought it was because of something I didn't do well that she alienated me. However, by chance, I found a letter between my mother-in-law and someone else.
It was a letter exchange between the concubine and a man when she was young. To be more precise, it was a confession letter written by the man to the concubine.
Later I heard that the concubine was in love with a man before she entered the palace, but his status was not worthy of the concubine, but the concubine was determined to be with him.
Therefore, the mother-in-law's family used their power to force the man to death. From then on, the mother-in-law hated her family and the palace that she had not yet entered.
Jieyu entered the palace, but her heart also died.
Since then, the mother-in-law and the concubine have been fighting for power and profit in the palace every day and living their lives in intrigues. She will not be idle every day, because she is afraid that she will miss him to death and do something irreversible if she is idle.
Nothing can happen to her yet! What she wants to do has not been completed yet, she wants to live and see that they all have a bad life!
In the end, the mother-in-law single-handedly defeated her natal family and climbed up to the imperial concubine position step by step. Only later did I become a noble concubine.
It turns out that my mother-in-law didn't alienate me, she didn't love me at all, she even hated me and was disgusted by my existence.
My heart also went cold.
After my mother-in-law learned about this, she looked at me for the first time, but she whipped me with a whip, which made my skin and flesh bruise. I couldn't get out of bed for half a month.
During this period, only a few maids applied medicine and fed me, as long as they made sure I didn't die.
It wasn't until a month later, when I could barely get off the ground, that my mother-in-law suddenly asked to see me.
I went there with an uneasy mood, but this time the mother-in-law was particularly gentle. Although her eyes were still cold, she would ask me gently if it still hurt, and feed me the pear blossom cakes she made by herself.
I heard that this was my mother’s favorite food. I was so happy and suddenly felt hopeful.
Mother-in-law...she doesn't actually love me at all, right?
But my concubine’s next words broke my fantasy.
"Do you like your father? Do you want to be him, take his place?"
Qin Yu nodded according to his heart. He hoped to be as powerful as his father and hoped to get his attention.
"Okay, from today on, you will regard yourself as the prince! I will have strict requirements on you to make you stand out from all the princes! I want you to get the dragon chair!"
My mother held my shoulders tightly, her eyes full of madness.
I didn't understand at that time that my mother-in-law not only wanted me to get that position, but she also wanted my father's life!
It was only a long, long time later that I realized that my father’s death was not an accident, but was planned by her.
The queen had nothing to do and wanted to frame her mother and concubine to take me away in order to consolidate her position. However, her mother and concubine turned her army around and assisted her father in bringing down the entire family.
My father had long been dissatisfied with the Queen's mother's family, and my mother's behavior won his heart, so my mother and concubine successfully became the queen, and I became the prince.
That was the first time I officially attended such a grand banquet, and it was also the first time I met Gu Xiyan.
The young man is high-spirited and has a very stable mental state. He can respond with sharp words when faced with other people's difficulties, without falling behind at all.
At that time, I was thinking that it would be very interesting to get to know this person.
Later, I heard from the palace maid that Gu Xiyan was my father's newly appointed brother not long ago, and he was my nominal uncle.
After that, I had no contact with him.
Until one day, the father died of illness without leaving a legacy, and the queen lived in seclusion in the palace, eating fast and chanting sutras every day to save her dead lover.
I thought I was alone again.
However, Gu Xiyan appeared again.
He made all the concubines and heirs in the harem become the burial objects of his father. Only I, the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom, survived and ascended the throne as the new emperor. He also became the regent on the grounds that the new emperor was young.
I thought I finally had someone I could rely on, but the way he looked at me was infinitely cold and disgusting.
I chickened out.
Keep a certain distance from him and do everything according to his wishes, but you can never satisfy him.
"Your father can do it, why can't you do it?"
"You can't even compare to a hair of your father's!"
"I really regret keeping you!"
Although I am an emperor, I have to study hard every day, but even if I only sleep for less than three hours a day, even if I stay up late to read, he is never satisfied.
In addition to being scolded, I was greeted with merciless slaps on my palms, or being locked up in a small dark room and starved.
My mother-in-law has always known this, but she never cared or stopped it.
At that time, I saw clearly that in this huge palace, the only one I could rely on was myself.
But I didn't expect that Gu Xiyan would really rebel one day.
The moment he surrounded the palace, I was caught off guard, but fortunately, I was no longer the cowardly and incompetent little emperor.
The palace was filled with blood, but Gu Xiyan was defeated in the end because of the recurrence of old injuries on the battlefield.
I sent him to prison, and when I saw him for the last time, he was not sad.
Despite his disheveled long hair, tattered prison uniform, and dirty cheeks, he had a smile of relief.
I didn't understand it at the time, until I heard Zhou Yong's words after my rebirth, and I knew that he was happy to see his father.
Why, why can't anyone just be nice to me and be happy for me, just for me?
The days after that were very boring. Even though the harem was full and government affairs were constant, I never felt truly happy.
What I didn't expect was that when I woke up, I went back to a few years ago! And Gu Xiyan was sitting next to me drinking!
I watched him collapse suddenly, secretly feeling that he deserved it.
I will forget what he did to me before?
But Gu Xiyan was very different later. Apart from scolding me once and kicking me into the water to expose me to the cold, he never beat or scolded me again and made me starve in a dark room.
I was a little surprised.
Later, he fed me medicine and gave me sweets. Although I felt that he was uneasy and kind-hearted, it was undeniable that I became greedy for his warmth of compassion.
I should have grown up quickly and killed him, but I relented.
When he desperately tried to snatch me away from me, when he was so injured that he almost couldn't survive that night, I was moved and secretly swore that if he didn't force me into the womb this time, I would keep him alive forever.
There are also people who are willing to simply be nice to me, right?
Fortunately, he woke up.
I was relieved.
The emperor cannot leave the palace at will. In my last life, he locked me in the cold palace and starved me for three days just because I was curious about the world outside the palace. But this time, he allowed me to stay and was willing to let me sleep in his bed. He was actually willing to take me to the Flower Goddess Festival.
In fact, I didn't wake up after the emperor's uncle woke up. The daily morning routine made me form a biological clock, so I woke up early and just closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I know I should push Uncle Huang away, but I can't bear it.
It was then that I discovered that the emperor's body temperature was so warm and so inviting that I really didn't want to let him go.
The way the emperor's uncle just woke up with his eyes wide open in confusion, I don't know why, I find it a bit cute and want to pinch his face.
I was shocked by my own thoughts, but I didn't suppress them.
So I offered to change my uncle's clothes so I could have a legitimate reason to hold him.
so good……
We went to buy masks, ate flower cakes, and enjoyed flower umbrellas. Unfortunately, we missed the fireworks, as we both will miss them in the end.
When I received the letter from the Huns, I knew that the war was coming. For this reason, I ignored the obstruction of others and rested the army. I thought that the emperor would be angry with me, but he did not say a word.
When the war was about to start, I hoped that someone would take the initiative to volunteer, but that person was not my imperial uncle, but in the end I had no way to stop him.
So, in order to find out the reason and to allow the emperor's uncle to avoid death, I pretended to be sick and secretly went to the border.
When I saw him, he was more serious than before and more like his father.
However, I found out that my father was Emperor Xinyue's uncle. I felt like I had been struck by lightning and could not move.
After Zhou Yong left, the emperor's uncle still found me. I asked him how he felt about his father. He said that he admired his father and said that everything he did to me was just because I was his son.
I felt like my heart had been stabbed completely.
Am I being too sentimental?
He said he would let me go back and there would eventually be a battle between us, and I left really obediently.
I don't believe that after so many years of companionship, he really has no feelings for me at all, even a trace of family affection.
Sure enough, he came as promised. I instigated his rebellion and tried to persuade him to give up, but he died in my arms to save me.
I knew that I would not have no place at all in his heart, even if he only treats me as a child!
But I don’t want this ending. I want to hold his sleeve and watch the sunrise. I want to eat the candy he brought me. I want to see the fireworks I didn’t have time to see. I want to see him smile and call me “Aze”. …I still have a lot of ideas that I haven’t implemented yet!
Feeling the emperor's body temperature gradually cooling down, I realized that, like my father, I am happy with him.
Qin Yu was pleased with Gu Xiyan's words.
I dealt with the boy who looked not much younger than me, and put the emperor's uncle's body in the icehouse.
Uncle Emperor, wait for me, I will find a way to revive you, just give me a little more time.
Uncle Emperor, wait for me!
