Chapter 244 My Queen
This time, Si Xie didn't even give Song Ran a chance to refuse, he just said——

"My concubine was actually the little princess of Zhoujun Palace back then. She was carefree at first, but everything became unlucky when she met the late emperor..."

"The first emperor was greedy for her beauty, and wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Zhou Junwang's mansion, so he forced her to marry into the palace. But after getting her, the first emperor found that she didn't care about him, so he didn't cherish her, neglected her, and used her to control her. Zhoujun Palace, threatened to destroy everyone she cares about..."

"She has only been in the palace for three years, and the Zhoujun palace fell. The rest of the people died and walked away. Only grandpa was demoted to the frontier...Until I ascended the throne, grandpa could not set foot in the capital."

"In the second year she entered the palace, she became pregnant with me. But the first emperor hated her, so naturally he also hated me. The women in the harem are jealous, so the first emperor pretended to love his mother in order to use the hands of these women to get rid of me and my mother. Concubine's appearance..."

"Sure enough, those women really started to target the concubine mother. The concubine mother was tortured by various methods. As a pregnant concubine, she was skinny and had several mental breakdowns..."

"At that time, those concubines also spread rumors that I was the lone star of the evil spirit and the evil seed. The late emperor did not protect the concubine mother, but forced the concubine to drink abortion pills..."

"In order to protect me, my concubine can only lie to everyone that she will wait until she gives birth to me, and then end my life with her own hands..."

"In this way until I was born, she found the old national teacher, hoping that the old national teacher could adopt me. The old national teacher also sympathized with me and wanted to help, but the women in the harem still refused to let us mother and son... "

"Under their various obstructions, I was not allowed to be adopted by the old master. The only fortunate thing is that I survived with one life. In the harem, the mother and concubine knew that if she showed love for me, the late emperor would definitely not keep me. So She can only be with those people, pretending to hate me and abuse me..."

Hearing this, Song Ran frowned.

No wonder……

No wonder she clearly heard that Si Xie's mother and concubine abused him, so why did he still miss his mother and concubine in his dream.

In such an environment at that time, in order to protect him, how much price and patience his mother and concubine had to pay, she didn't dare to think about it.

First Emperor?

That kind of scum can actually be the emperor?
Song Ran couldn't help feeling sorry for the tyrant, but also hoped that the late emperor would go to hell!
"As for my face, it was seven years ago when my mother and concubine heard that the late emperor locked me in the cold palace and ordered people to set fire around me to kill me, so she rushed into the fire desperately... "

"She died in that fire. The beam fell on top of my head, she pushed me away, and let herself be swallowed by the fire. I still remember her trembling in pain, but still Keep saying sorry to me..."

Having said that, Si Xie smiled wryly, his voice trembling, and his eyes were a little scarlet.

"It was the old national teacher who rescued me. At that time, he claimed that my appearance was completely destroyed. It may be because the death of my mother and concubine was too tragic, which caused a great sensation. The first emperor thought that my face was completely destroyed. He's just a useless person who can't make any big waves, so he let me go temporarily..."

Speaking of this, Si Xie's eyes were full of hatred.

First Emperor, Father Emperor?
He doesn't have such a father.

Seeing Si Xie like this, Song Ran didn't know what to say to comfort him, she could only ask: "Then after you became emperor, why didn't you show your true face?"

"I don't want to show my true face. First, when I see my face, I will always think of the scene of the tragic death of my mother and concubine that night..."

"The second reason is that my face really shouldn't appear." Si Xie continued.

what?
When Song Ran heard this, he always felt that he would hear some secret.

She wanted to stop Si Xie from continuing.

Because when she came to the world, she wanted to be peaceful and quiet, and didn't want to get involved too much.

But it was too late for her to stop, Si Xie had already taken out a portrait from the bedside.

The portrait was spread out, and a man's face was drawn on it.

That face, just like Si Xie's appearance.

"This……"

Song Ran frowned.

She saw that the surroundings of the portrait were very worn, the paper looked very old, and the brush and ink in the painting were smudged.

How old is this painting?

"This painting has been hanging in the Si family's ancestral hall before. This person is a sinner of the Si family." Si Xie said slowly.

what?
Si family's sinner?
Song Ran became more confused the more he listened.

"Emperors of the Si family have always left portraits for future generations to pay homage to. But this emperor is said to have caused the Si family to suffer a catastrophe... His younger brother killed him and left this portrait after he ascended the throne... ..."

"Although this painting has been copied many times, the appearance of the person in the painting is still clearly visible, and it looks exactly like me..."

"The ancestors of the Si family said that such a calamity emperor can no longer appear in the Si family."

"So, when those concubines said that I was a disaster, the late emperor didn't stop him not only because he wanted to kill the person my concubine cared about, but also because... I look exactly like the person in this portrait."

Si Xie said coldly.

"Ridiculous! Not to mention, it is difficult to determine the merits and demerits of each emperor. What if the person who painted this painting slandered him and made him a criminal; besides, you are all from the Si family. How about being similar?"

Song Ran retorted loudly.

She thought it was just ridiculous.

"This portrait still exists on the side of the clan. When I was young, I had just begun to look like the person in the painting. If I were a little older, I would really be exactly the same as the person in this painting. In order to protect me, the old master, That's why I have been showing people a mask." Si Xie said in a deep voice.

"So you have been wearing a mask since then, because your foundation is not stable, and you don't want to attract the pursuit of the clan." Song Ran also began to understand something.

"But, how long do you want to wear the mask?" Song Ran asked with a complex expression.

He is also a living person, if he can't even show his true face, how painful it will be for him.

"The mask has been destroyed and I won't wear it anymore." Si Xie replied softly.

"Then you don't have to worry about the clan..."

Song Ran's tone was worried, but she soon thought of it, Si Xie dared to tear himself apart with the eldest princess, so why would he be afraid of the clan?

Ning Feng fell, so did the eldest princess, King Xichuan was kicked out of the capital, and Si Jingrui was relegated to the rank of commoner.

The puppet emperor of that year has grown full-fledged step by step, and can start to fight against these people.

"You have enough ability to deal with the clan now, so you don't have to be afraid of them... It's okay to reveal your true face." Song Ran sighed softly and said slowly.

"The reason I openly confront the clan with my true face is because I want to remove all obstacles, and then... I want to welcome my queen back to the country openly."

When talking about this, Si Xie's firm eyes fell on Song Ran.

But when Song Ran heard the words "My Queen", she began to frown, and she didn't even bother to notice his eyes.
