The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 129

When Chu Xue, who was sitting beside her, uttered these words, Song Chen suddenly had a vague anticipation.

That's fine, if the truth can be obtained tonight, that's fine.

He withdrew the hand that lifted her chin, tried to slow down his voice, and said, "Speak."

Tell me all you know, don't hide anymore.

She got up from the bed, knelt down in front of him, and began to recall the past slowly.

"Many years ago, in Weizhou City, there lived a family of four, oh no, it was a family of five, because the lady had a five-month-old fetus in her stomach. The little girl had a father and a mother. There is an elder brother, and her father is a heroic general who has repeatedly gone to the northwest, repelled the Huns who invaded the border, and won many victories for the emperor of Daqi."

"That year, it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was very hot in Weizhou City. Because my mother was pregnant, I was most afraid of the heat, so my father took the family to a place called Yingyue Villa on the outskirts of the city for vacation. One evening, the little girl She went out to play with the servants at home, and only stayed in the small town for more than an hour. When she returned, her family was gone..."

She suddenly choked up, and the man lowered his gaze, only to see teardrops falling to the ground and shattering, he habitually wanted to reach out his hand to comfort him, but there was a fire in his chest that he couldn't reach out.

Chu Xue, who was kneeling in front of her, didn't notice his struggle at all, and was still telling the story.

"She hid in the bushes by the side of the road, and heard the news of the death of her father and elder brother with her own ears, heard the screams and cries of the servants at home, and also heard her mother... died in front of her..."

It hurt so much, she stopped for a while, and then continued: "Later, she was sent to my uncle's house in the capital, and escaped for a while. There used to be a cousin of the same age in my uncle's house, who happened to be seriously ill at the time. Died at a young age, in order to save her, my uncle and aunt endured severe pain and buried my little cousin in an uninhabited mountain, gave her a new identity, and allowed her to survive."

"Later, she was raised in the care of her uncle's house. When she was 16 years old, one day, a guest came to the house. After meeting her, she fell in love with her. He married her home and gave her this life. Love……"

The stories he didn't know have been told, and she calmed down for a while before she looked up at him again, "Your Majesty, you have guessed it, I am the little girl, I am Yue Lan's daughter, and I am the daughter of the Yue family. The only child in the world."

She leaned down, kowtowed to him, and said solemnly: "My father is innocent. He has never been disloyal to the first emperor and Daqi. If the evidence is solid in the past, why should we be afraid of a retrial? The guilty concubine dares to ask the emperor, you It's Sheng Tianzi, I beg you to retry the old case and give my father justice."

After speaking, there was silence in the curtain that fell.

She didn't dare to look up at him, for fear of seeing his angry face, how could he not be angry?Who would not be angry after being lied to by a loved one for so long?She just looked down at the ground, waiting for him to lose his temper.

Unexpectedly, after a while of silence, he heard him say, "So you are not Chu Xue, you are Yue Wen." Full of powerlessness, revealing a kind of helpless exhaustion.

Just as she was about to nod, she suddenly realized that she hadn't said her name just now, how could he know that the girl from the Yue family was called Yue Wen?
She looked up at him abruptly, wanting to ask him for help, but saw that his eyes did not have the surprise as she imagined, but a kind of...sadness.

Did he know about it?

"Emperor?" She was full of surprise.

"Why have you been hiding it from me?" He only asked in a deep voice.

"Because, because father was charged with crimes, Yue's family has been exterminated, and Yue Wen shouldn't live in this world." Tears welled up on her face again.

"Then why didn't you keep it a secret, and now you have to tell it?" He frowned, still showing no emotion.

She smiled wryly, "Because this concubine doesn't want to let go of the opportunity to rehabilitate my father, this concubine believes, trusts the emperor..."

"Believe that I love you, and I will avenge you, don't you?" He leaned down and approached her, and lifted her chin with his hand again, "Xue'er, if you didn't have what happened tonight, would you have kept it a secret from me?" ?”

"The concubine doesn't know," she closed her eyes, and tears rolled into his palm, "The concubine really doesn't know, the concubine doesn't want to hide anything from the emperor, husband and wife should trust each other, but the concubine is really afraid, Afraid of losing the emperor."

Her tears dripped down one after another, as if they were about to flow into a river, drowning his palm.

"Then why aren't you afraid now? Are you not afraid that you will lose me if you tell me about it for revenge? Revenge is more important to you than me, isn't it?" he asked in such a heartbroken way.

She shook her head desperately, "No, no," she knelt forward and hugged his leg again, crying, "I don't want to lose the emperor, no one is more important than the emperor, but... But, as parents The child of the Yue family, the orphan of the Yue family, if he does not clear up his father and mother, but lives his own rich life with peace of mind, can he still be considered a human being? The courtiers and concubines have tried to tell the emperor the truth more than once, but because there is no evidence, they are afraid that the emperor will not believe it , and I am afraid that I will be rejected by the emperor..."

In the end, he couldn't bear to see her cry like this, so he sighed deeply, wiped away tears for her, and said: "If I really retrial this case for you, and justified your father's name, have you ever thought about it, what should you do? "

The corners of her lips curled up bitterly, and she forced a choked sob, and said: "The concubine has deceived the emperor, and I dare not ask the emperor to forgive me. I only ask the emperor to forgive the Chu family lightly because my father and brother have been loyal to the court for many years. After all, my father took in a young man. A young child is really the most basic human nature. The concubine knows that you are a good father, the three of them, Leer, Xuan'er and An An, are born by the concubine, and the blood of the emperor is flowing on the body. The concubine believes that you are a good father. You won't take your anger out on them..."

After explaining to others, she kowtowed heavily at him again, "I know that I have committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, so I dare not ask the emperor to forgive me. No matter how you convict me, I have no complaints."

She seemed to have made the worst plan, but this made him even more heartbroken and angry. He asked angrily: "No matter how I punish you? How do you want me to punish you? You are not afraid of death, are you? Then have you thought about it?" What should I do after passing me? What about Leer and their three children? If you want to hide it, why not keep it a secret for the rest of your life? How do you know that I won't make Yue Lan a woman?"

Her voice became uncontrollably high. It was the first time he was angry with her, and she was still angry like this. She knew it was her fault, so she didn't dare to refute anything, and just kept crying.

He didn't want to see her sad, but for the time being he couldn't suppress the fire in his heart caused by being deceived and distrusted, so he got up calmly, pushed open the palace door and walked out.

"emperor……"

The moment he stepped out of the palace gate, he heard her crying sadly, and his heart ached, but he still didn't look back.

he's gone.

Nuo Da's bedroom is empty, and his body temperature and light fragrance are still left on the bedding. She just wanted to ask him to stay, but for what reason, she did something wrong, she said it herself, and she dared not ask for her forgiveness of.

Yan Ling, who had been waiting outside the hall in fear, came in, was shocked when she saw the scene in the hall, and hurried to help her, she hugged Yan Ling's shoulders, and cried out loudly.

The clapper rang at the fourth watch, and Song Chen lay on his own dragon bed in Qinzheng Hall, still not sleepy.

Until today, she finally confirmed her identity. At the beginning, he thought that whether she was Chu Xue or Yue Wen, she was his own woman, and he would love her as before. He didn't care, but today he heard her admit it When I was really Yue Wen, I still felt angry in my heart. Most of the reasons for this were not because of her deceit, but because I didn't trust her, because I thought she didn't believe that I would protect her, so I was always on guard against myself?
This is a feeling of frustration as her husband who wants to protect her but is not trusted by her. It was born from her abnormal excitement at the banquet tonight. He had a vague premonition that she really It's Yue Wen.

If she were Chu Xue, her life experience was pure and she had no secrets to tell herself, but she was the little girl Yue Wen who escaped death. After so many years, why didn't she tell herself the truth? She thought she would ask her The crime of bullying the king?I treat her with sincerity, but she is still guarding against me!

But after thinking about it, why didn't she guard against herself?
Thinking of the experience she cried and told herself tonight, she watched her relatives die in front of her eyes, fled from Weizhou to the capital, and lived as someone else for so many years... Thinking of her helpless appearance just now with tears, He felt that when the anger of not being trusted subsided, he would still love her so much.

Just imagine, if she hadn't escaped back then, where would she go to find such a person in this life?

That's it!

The king sighed, sat up from the couch, rubbed his forehead, got up, and went to the imperial study.

Early the next morning, Chu Xue, who had been sleepless all night, was sitting in front of the mirror, combing Yan Ling's hair, when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door, it was Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan couldn't hide his excitement, as if he had something urgent to say, Chu Xue hurriedly dismissed the idlers, closed the door of the hall, and saw Qiu Yan knelt down and kowtowed three times to herself first.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Chu Xue was puzzled.

"Congratulations, ma'am, the emperor has just issued an imperial decree in the court to let the third division take over and retry the general's case!"

The ivory was combed off the ground, and Chu Xueyanling looked at each other with indescribable joy.

"Congratulations, master!" Yanling and Ruyue knelt on the ground together, kowtowing to her.

The tears that stopped in the early morning fell down again, and she didn't know whether she was laughing or crying.This day finally came, she waited for so many years, this day finally came!
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother!"

Hearing Le'er calling her outside the door, she quickly wiped away her tears, ordered the three kneeling on the ground to get up, and opened the door to meet the child.

The little girl entered the door, saw her mother's eyes were red, and asked strangely: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red?"

She laughed, but still had a strong nasal voice, and said softly: "My mother came back late last night and didn't sleep well, that's why her eyes were red. Did Le'er sleep well last night?"

"Well," the little girl nodded and said with a smile, "My son slept well."

She kissed her daughter's pretty face, "Go and see if the younger brothers and sisters are up, and ask them to come over and have breakfast together, okay?"

"Okay!" The little girl nodded and hurried to find her younger siblings.

Looking at her daughter's back, Chu Xue thought of another thing, and hurriedly asked Qiu Yan, "Has the emperor dealt with the Chu family and the Qin family?"

"No," Qiu Yan hurriedly reassured her, "Don't worry, your majesty, the emperor only ordered to punish the Grand Master and An Xihou's salary for one year, and there is no other punishment other than that."

Only then did she feel relieved.The one-year salary is just a symbolic punishment, and it is nothing to a powerful family like Qin Chu. As long as her father and Uncle Qin Mu are fine, she can rest assured.

What about yourself?A voice in my heart asked.

Herself?
Things have come to this point, everything she wanted has come true, so it's easy to say what she does.

The children laughed and came in to greet her, she kissed each of them, and led the three siblings to have dinner together.

Busy from morning to night, seeing the clapper knocking on the second watch, the king put down his pen and looked out of the window, only then did he realize that it was late at night.

The king got up, and Liangxi hurried forward, wanting to ask the king if he would go to Yufu Palace, but he was a little nervous. The king came out of Yufu Palace in the middle of the night last night. He looked angry, and he didn't know if he was angry with the beauty. That's why Liangxi was thoughtful and considerate, but he didn't dare to speak.

Liangxi was worried, when suddenly he heard the king's faint order, "Go to Yufu Palace."

"Yes. Arrange Yufu Palace!"

Liangxi hurriedly sang, and followed the striding king to the direction of Yufu Palace.
