Your majesty, Empress Xianyu doesn't want to leave the cold palace

In the prison, Yu Wenjing's heart suddenly hurt.

It was like someone was stabbing his heart with a knife.

The pain was so intense that all his internal organs were burning, every bone in his limbs, every piece of flesh and blood was in pain.

"Yingxiu."

He called her name, but no one responded to his words.

He murmured her name and slowly curled up.

His eyes were empty, completely dim and dead.

He knew that this time, he had really lost her completely.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Wenjing lay on the cold floor tiles, looking at the top of his head and speaking,

"I want to see Yuwen Chen."

The guard on duty heard Yu Wenjing's self-absorbed voice and sneered, "What a joke, how can the emperor see you!"

Yu Wenjing pounded his fists on the ground in circles, and soon there were blood stains. However, as if he didn't know the pain, he stubbornly repeated the movements and repeated a sentence numbly in his mouth,

"I want to see Yu Wenchen. Find Yu Wenchen."

The guard saw this and decided to inform the situation after careful consideration.

Something had already happened in prison today, and they didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Moreover, Yu Wenjing was a heavy prisoner. If something happened before the emperor's order came down, they would not be able to explain it to the emperor.

As the footsteps faded away, Yu Wenjing touched the cool floor tiles, closed his eyes, and let his tears fall.

When he closed his eyes, he saw endless darkness, but he could see the person he wanted to see.

He read softly and sighed in a whisper,

"Yingxiu, wait for me, I will come to find you right away."

Time passed little by little until night fell.

Just after the second watch, Yuwen Chen stepped into the prison.

The guard opened the cell, looked at the person sitting facing the wall, and said, "I heard that you want to see me."

Yu Wenjing sat in the corner with his back to him and asked,

"What are you going to do with me? Ling Chi? Cut in half? Or crack the car? You should always use me as an example to serve as a warning to others."

There was silence in the air for a moment.

After silence, Yuwen Chen spoke up, "I told you to go to Lingnan."

Yu Wenjing smiled foolishly and turned around in disbelief.

"You still haven't killed me now? I forced the palace to rebel, so you just imprisoned me?"

He stood up slowly, looked at the mysterious dragon robe worn on Yuwen Chen, and smiled sarcastically,

"In this world, there can only be one thing left between you and me. Since you are the winner, it is my death."

Yu Wenjing stood up. There was only a small window in the cell, and there was very little moonlight that could shine in.

Yu Wenjing raised his head and glanced at the moonlight outside the window.

The moonlight is all the same, erratic and cold, without any warmth at all.

The past years are still vivid in my mind, and everything seems ridiculous.

Standing straight facing the wall, he raised his head and looked out the window and said,

"I studied literature at the age of four, horseback riding at the age of seven, and archery at the age of eight. Among all the princes, I am the only one who is always taken by my father. I have respected my father all my life, and I am happy to do everything he wants. What you do evil is evil. I always thought I had the care of my father, but until one day everything changed."

He looked over, looking ridiculous and ridiculous.

"I always thought it was you. Because of you, because of your existence, everything changed. It wasn't until one day that I accidentally learned that in the eyes of my father, I was just a dispensable pawn, and my existence was nothing more than a pawn. It is your experience that serves as a stepping stone for you, my existence is as absurd as a joke."

He always thought he was lucky.

He is a proud son born in the noble imperial city. He has the concern of his father. Although his mother-in-law is not in the middle palace, she is his favorite concubine.

He received respect, glory and dignity, and he was the most noble prince in the eyes of the entire imperial city.

Once upon a time, he thought that the love and care he received from his father was true.

But from beginning to end, he was just a pawn.

And in the end, because of Yuwen Chen, he will become an abandoned son.

Just because of the destiny given by the late Imperial Master?

So what is his life?

So what is his existence?

His father, the father he respected and respected the most, was so cruel. He lifted him up into the clouds and then let him fall into the mud with his own hands.

In the end, everything is fake.

Everything is fake.

But...but why?

Why should he become a sacrificed tool?

He thought of his shock when he learned everything on the snowy night before last.

There was a time when he had been blaming himself and blaming himself deeply.

He always thought that it was because of him that his mother and concubine met such a miserable end, and that the Lin family fell.

He knows that he is not a very good person.

He knew he was wrong. He had thought about being a good person and living his life well.

However, it was not until that day that he learned everything.

It turns out that no matter what, his father will eventually alienate him.

Regardless of whether he cares or not, the throne will not be given to him.

Regardless of whether he was wrong or not, the Lin family would be demoted.

Because the person chosen by destiny was Yu Wenchen, not him.

He was never the person chosen by his father.

Back then, he didn't understand why his mistake would involve his mother and concubine? Why did the emperor severely suppress the Lin family?

He doesn't understand, isn't his mother-in-law his father's favorite person?

After years of love, why can you be so cruel?

How could you give up so decisively? He cannot enter the mausoleum, has no titles, and no records. He can only be turned into a handful of flying ashes, and no bones remain.

He grew up by his father's side. His father personally chose the pen for him when he started writing Chinese calligraphy. He still keeps that pen. His calligraphy was also taught by his father himself, and his father helped him get on the saddle when riding a horse. , even during several illnesses, his father was still waiting for him, but the affection between father and son that lasted for many years would actually be fake.

Just because of the words of the late Imperial Master, could it be that all the family ties accumulated over so many years and days were not counted?

He fought back and forth, refusing to surrender or give in, but little did he know that the outcome had already been predetermined.

His father rebuked him and demoted his mother and concubine because the emperor of Beiyu only needed one queen mother, and the powerful ones only needed one.

Since the Qi family was chosen for Yu Wenchen's support, the government naturally no longer needed a balanced situation, so the Lin family needed to be suppressed.

But back then, his mistake was just the opportunity that triggered everything.

Because the person chosen by God was Yuwen Chen, he became the useless one.

Together with the power of his mother's concubine Lin clan, it also became a threat to Yuwen Chen's throne.

Therefore, he needs to be left out, his mother and concubine need to be demoted, and the Lin family needs to be marginalized.

All of this is to clear the way and clear the barriers for Yu Wenchen to ascend the throne.

It's ridiculous that during that period, his father suppressed him and comforted him; he gave him hope, but also made him disappointed and despairing.

In a fight between father and son, how could he be so guarded against him?

Not a single word of truth was spoken.

As a prince, of course he wants to go further for the position that is so close to him.

But if his father had told him the answer in advance, he thought... he would have let it go.

He has a father, a mother and a concubine. He has gained a lot. Why should he cling to one throne again?

However, no.

there has never been.

He was repeatedly rejected and isolated, but could not get a word of truth. And those incomprehensions slowly turned into resentment and resentment in the night of depression.

It turns out that all affection, love and care are all fake.

He was never really chosen.

They all knew it, but they kept him in the dark and made him a laughing stock.

But his father wanted Yu Wenchen to swear an oath to ensure his life.

Ah.

what is this?

A final sympathy?

To abandon him to this extent and then self-righteously give him a little charity and let him live out the rest of his life?

There is such a utilitarian father-son relationship in the world.

They were all talking about destiny, but he didn't believe in destiny.

He wanted to fight.

Why should he let others make the decision for him in his life?

Why should he be a stepping stone for others?

If he doesn’t accept it, he must fight!

Yu Wenjing turned around and saw that Yu Wenchen didn't look shocked at all, and suddenly smiled.

Originally, he thought that his father told him the secret passage of Taihe Palace because he had some sincerity towards him, but Yu Wenchen was still on guard. .

Ha, it’s probably God’s will.

God's will really refused to be on his side even once.

However, at this point, he did have something he wanted to ask clearly.

"I have provoked you many times over the years, but you have not dealt with me or killed me. Are you pretending to tolerate it, or are you pitying me?"

Yuwen Chen remained silent.

As if he had learned something ridiculous, Yu Wenjing smiled more and more, but there were tears in his eyes. He raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and kept repeating, as if in disbelief,

"You pity me! Yuwen Chen, you actually sympathize with me!"

absurd! This is so ridiculous!

He actually fell to the point where he needed Yu Wenchen's pity!

How chilling.

He was so chilled that he couldn't help but burst into tears and wanted to destroy everything.

After Yu Wenjing dropped his smile, his heart became cold and his eyes also turned cold.

He sat down by himself, surrounded by gray and cold walls. His glory was no longer there, but he was full of desolation.

He said, "My father's kindness to me for decades is a lie. Do you think my father's love for you can be somewhat true?

I'm afraid there won't be any points! If my father really cared about you, how could he have ignored you for so many years? Let you be looked down upon and ignored? Thank you for listening to him. Isn't it ridiculous to keep me here until now? "

After a long silence, Yuwen Chen only said,

"My father has passed away. He is dead. We don't need to judge whether he was right or wrong."

Yu Wenjing was speechless.

Yes, there is no point in saying anything when the person is gone.

He couldn't even ask himself.

Yuwen Chen had nothing at the beginning, but in the end he had everything.

And he seemed to have everything, but in the end he had nothing.

Yu Wenchen looked at Yu Wenjing's embarrassment and finally said,

"...Father cares about you."

Otherwise, my father would not have mentioned the secret passage to Yu Wenjing.

If it weren't for the renovation of Taihe Palace, he thought, he would never have discovered the secret passage.

But his father told Yu Wenjing about the secret passage that he had never known.

Yu Wenjing seemed to have heard some good joke. He was obviously smiling, but his eyes were colder than ever before. He asked,

"If you say this, do you believe it yourself?"

care?

Have you ever cared?

Trying every possible means to conceal it and guarding the camp every step of the way?

It's just like raising domestic animals, they are raised with hard work only to kill them to achieve their own goals.

There was a smile on Yu Wenjing's lips, not appreciative at all.

"My father chose you. As for me..."

Although he didn't want to admit it, he was probably unimportant in his father's eyes.

Father cares about him?

Have you ever?

When dreaming back at midnight, he often asked himself this question.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was probably not possible.

If you really care, how can you abandon it at any time?

It's really hard to guess what my father is thinking.

He didn't believe it anymore and didn't want to speculate anymore.

Yu Wenjing's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up and attacked Yu Wenchen.

When attacking Yu Wenchen, Yu Wenjing deliberately avoided it. When Yu Wenchen approached, he grabbed Yu Wenchen's hand, and with Yu Wenchen's strength, he inserted the fragment into his heart with his own hands.

It's a broken piece of bowl.

Far from being as sharp as a dagger or a sword, it was more of a dull pain when it pierced the skin.

He used his greatest strength, and when he stabbed into the heart, he also cut Yuwen Chen's mouth.

It's great that everything can finally come to an end.

Yuwen Chen's pupils dilated and he was extremely shocked, "You——"

He wanted to stop but Yu Wenjing held him tightly.

Yu Wenjing's breath was not smooth. When he smiled, just like his previous bohemian expression, blood slid down the corners of his lips.

"Yu Wenchen, I don't need your pity, let alone your help. You have to work hard to find where I want to go. My path... I choose it myself... As for you, just continue to be your emperor."

As he spoke, the strength of his hands refused to relax even a little bit.

"Yu Wenchen, it was my idea to assassinate you because I am unwilling to do so. I don't believe in fate. I don't believe that I am really inferior to you. I rebelled. I am guilty. The Lin clan was coerced by me to obey my orders. I will bear all the blame. Dan, if you kill me, everything will be settled and everyone will be given an explanation."

As he spoke, he stabbed the remaining piece into his heart an inch deeper.

The pain in my body was obviously unbearable, but at this moment, I felt extremely relaxed.

He was finally free.

He thought of the old man in white he met at the entrance of the village the night he left Yunshui Village.

The man said that if he stayed in Yunshui Village, he could live a happy life and die in peace. If he left, he would probably end up with an unhappy death.

At that time, he laughed and ridiculed him and resolutely embarked on the road back to Beijing.

At that time, he was filled with resentment, unwillingness, and revenge, and could not look back.

Thinking about it now, he spent the happiest time in his life in Yunshui Village.

There was no calculation, no snobbishness, no need to care about gains and losses, and nothing to do with interests. He and Yingxiu spent their time peacefully, playing the piano and the harp in harmony. They were the most ordinary and ordinary couple.

But the surname he carries and the blood flowing in his body are destined to prevent him from spending his life like an ordinary person.

There was more and more blood on the ground, and his strength disappeared little by little. There was no longer any point of strength on his body. Yu Wenjing's body slowly fell, leaving behind the last sentence,

"Yuwenchen, remember, I have never lost to you in my life."

This life of great glory and power... If there was an afterlife, he would never want it again.

Now, he can go find his Yingxiu.

He would be with her and wouldn't leave her alone.

As he closed his eyes, the last remaining remnants of his consciousness gradually dissipated.
