Long Harem Road

Chapter 44

I am He Ruyu, born in a noble family, and my mother is the golden branch and jade leaf of Tianqi Kingdom, the only direct sister of the Ninth Five-Year Lord. I have an extremely noble status since I was born. It should be honorable and wanton.

However, I met and fell in love with that man deeply, a man who could not love me.

My mother has a noble status, but I know that she is not happy, and she is not close to her father. I can feel that my father has respect, fear and even contempt for my mother, but there is no love.

Because of my mother's dominance, I felt that my father was useless since I was a child. Under the influence of my mother, a big man groveled to make a living. I even looked down on him.

Maybe it's fate. I swore in my heart at a young age that I would never marry such a useless man in the future. I must marry a man who stands up to heaven and earth, a real man.

However, it was such a real man who became the catastrophe of my life!
I am the only child of my mother, so I have been pampered since I was a child. As long as I want, my mother will try her best to satisfy me. Of course, this has also formed my domineering and domineering personality.

It's just that neither my mother nor I realized that this would be the root cause of the tragedy in my life.

When I was five years old, I saw my cousin Zhao Zhen for the first time, and I was astounded. My cousin was 14 years old at that time. At that time, he was already His Highness the Crown Prince.

That was the first time I could remember going to the palace with my mother to visit my grandmother, the empress dowager at the time.

I sat in my grandmother's arms and watched my cousin walk over. I forgot everything around me. I only saw my cousin. On his face, there was a sharp-edged sternness.

With slanted eyebrows drawn into the temples, deep and energetic eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips lightly pursed, the corners of the mouth slightly raised, he bowed to his grandmother in salute.

That moment was deeply imprinted in my heart. Although I was only a five-year-old girl, it did not prevent me from being deeply infatuated with my cousin. This is the Prince Charming in my mind. I believe that one day my cousin Will ride colorful clouds to pick me up.

At that time, I was still an ignorant little girl who wanted everything from the wind to the rain, always domineering and unrestrained, so I announced in a childish voice, "Grandmother, Yu'er is going to marry her cousin when she grows up. "

The queen mother and mother just laughed and teased me. They probably thought that my childish words could not be taken seriously. They were laughing at me to their heart's content. I was the only one who noticed that my cousin frowned slightly. Don't be liked by my cousin.

It's just that I didn't realize it when I was young, and I was still immersed in the beautiful dream I wove.

From then on, whenever my mother entered the palace, I pestered my mother just to see my cousin. I started pestering him and asking questions. I was so excited that I didn't notice my cousin's impatience.

When I was eight years old, my cousin got married, and I cried and made a scene. That was the first time I felt helpless. My mother ignored my vexatious troubles, and she only regarded me as a child's farce.

Later, I had a foster mother, and I knew that men and women had different seats at seven years old. Although I couldn't see my cousin alone again, I never forgot him.

Every year at the banquet, I look at my cousin from afar. He is more and more mature and handsome, and his gestures are more and more domineering. , the jealousy in my heart burns like a flame.

When I was 15 years old, the emperor's uncle passed away, and my cousin came to the throne. I was happy for my cousin, but also jealous of his empress and concubines.

At this time, I made up my mind to enter the palace, to be my cousin's woman, and to be by his side. I don't know where the confidence came from, but I persisted in thinking that only I was qualified to stand side by side with my cousin.

I did not hesitate to go on a hunger strike and refused the marriage my mother arranged for me, just to be able to enter the palace. The first time my mother beat me, she tried her best to warn me that the cannibals in the harem would not spit out their bones, and I was not moved in the slightest.

In the end, my mother reluctantly compromised. I successfully passed the draft three years later and became my cousin's woman.

This stimulated my ambition even more. I was dissatisfied with Ji Baozhu and Zhang Hanying, who had the same status as me but stole the limelight, and vowed to trample them under my feet.

I am looking forward to entering the palace every day, looking forward to flying side by side with my cousin, playing the piano and singing in harmony, my heart is higher than the sky, I have not recognized my identity, and I have realized that I am just a dispensable concubine of my cousin That's all, still fantasizing persistently.

I finally entered the palace and lived in Yiliuxuan. My mother said that this was the palace my grandmother lived in back then. In order to please the queen mother, my mother pulled down her face and begged the queen mother, so I was naturally arranged to go in.

I'm afraid that at that time, my cousin would be dissatisfied with my mother's interference.

That night, I will never forget it for the rest of my life. I can't forget my cousin's gentle touch, and I can't forget the happiness in my heart when I became one with my cousin, and tears filled my eyes.

After waiting for more than ten years, I finally became my cousin's woman. That night was the most beautiful night in my short ten-year career.

I didn't realize it, or I subconsciously didn't want to discover that my cousin didn't treat me very well, it seemed like it was just a routine.

Dazzled by a night of happiness, I made a fatal mistake the next day, which made me regret for the rest of my life. Perhaps from that moment on, my cousin was extremely disappointed in me.

I hate all the women in the harem, especially the queen. She stole my cousin and my chance to stand beside him, and I have to bow down to her. This is always arrogant and domineering. I can't accept it. of.

The next day, I thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a plan that I thought was perfect. For the first time, I was late on purpose, and I found the perfect excuse, because I put my cousin first, and I can't wait to see the queen Look deflated.

It's just that I underestimated the queen, underestimated all the women in the harem, and in their hidden schadenfreude, I realized vaguely that I was grounded by the queen.

My cousin, who was clearly in love with me last night, actually listened to the queen's one-sided words and grounded me. I was furious, but I was afraid that my cousin would anger me. My mind went blank and I was at a loss what to do.

At this time, Yi Liuxuan's second-class maid drinking wine 'unintentionally' reminded me, yes, I am the emperor's direct cousin, how could my cousin punish me for an outsider.

It must be the queen who falsely preached the imperial decree and deliberately bullied me. I was crazy, and there was only one thought in my heart. I want to see my cousin, and my cousin will definitely seek justice for me.

Afterwards, I realized how stupid I was at that time. Every word of Jinjiu's profound meaning was misleading me who was distracted, which caused me to make a fatal mistake and completely angered my cousin.

At that moment, I had resentment and hatred towards my cousin, and my heart was abnormally cold. I entered the palace with full enthusiasm, but in the blink of an eye, my cousin was injured all over my body.

However, as time went by, I gradually realized that I was reckless, and I began to excuse my cousin again and again, constantly anesthetizing myself.

When I finally found out that Jinjiu was the Queen's person by using the staff that my mother gave me, and her provocation that day was to make me completely rejected by my cousin, I regretted it.

That day, I found an excuse and sent Jinjiu to the Department of Punishment. Even if she didn't die, she would peel off her skin.

However, my deep affection for my cousin was not wiped out because of this, and my longing was increasing day by day. I was looking forward to going out as soon as possible, not only to avenge the queen, but also to see my cousin who I miss so much again.

The opportunity came soon, my cousin's "Christmas" was approaching, and my mother begged the queen mother for me again, so I went out ahead of schedule, I was excited and ready to show off, my cousin would definitely find me good.

However, when I heard my cousin named Ji Baozhu as Bao Zhaoyuan, my heart was not at peace again, I was jealous, those favors should be mine, only I can be the treasure in my cousin's heart.

I hate Bao Zhaoyuan. I crazyly think that as long as she disappears, I can replace her and become the treasure in my cousin's heart.

After going through the confinement, I have matured a lot, and I am no longer unscrupulous. My mother is right, it is useless to make small troubles, I am planning to hit a hit.

Since I came out, my cousin never came to see me again, but he always dotes on that Bao Zhaoyuan. This foxy girl must have given my cousin a ecstasy soup. I must save my cousin. My cousin can only be mine.

When I heard that the woman was pregnant and became a concubine, the resentment in my heart was even worse. I must get rid of her. I thought about it day and night, and patiently waited for the opportunity.

I never knew that I was so patient in order to achieve my goal. My mother left me with a lot of manpower. Soon, I found an opportunity and had a perfect plan.

I know the true identity of Chunhua, the eldest lady next to Wang Jieyu. I also hate Wang Jieyu. In the boudoir, she has been suppressed by me. Why is she nobler than me now? She is not worthy of bearing children for her cousin Female?

I sent someone to secretly take Chunhua to a remote place, and threatened her, "Li Yuexia, didn't expect that?"

In the dark, I saw Chunhua's panicked little face, and I was in a good mood. It turns out that being able to decide a person's life and death is so comfortable, and I continued, "I know why you are by Wang Meiyi's side, because I want to do everything for you." The whole family who copied and beheaded will take revenge, right?"

Yes, Chunhua is also Li Yuexia, she is the daughter of Imperial Physician Li who was denounced by Wang Yushi, also known as Wang Jieyu's father, for accepting bribes and murdering the emperor's heir a few years ago. She was used as a palace slave and entered the palace.

Until Wang Meiyi entered the palace, she found an opportunity to go to Wang Meiyi's side, looking for an opportunity to take revenge.

It's just that I was so complacent at the time that I didn't notice at all, how could a daughter of a guilty minister easily come to Wang Jieyu's side, and how could it be such a coincidence that my people accidentally discovered her true identity?

"So what?" Chunhua said with gritted teeth.

I chuckled, "Anyway, if you want revenge, I just want you to do me a favor. I can find out the truth about what happened back then for you, and rehabilitate your whole family."

Chunhua's heart was moved, I was proud of my intelligence, but I didn't know that there was a hint of sarcasm in Chunhua's eyes as he bowed his head and left.

That night, the emperor's cousin stayed at Baofei's Cuiluxuan, and I informed Chunhua to do it. Wang Jieyu gave birth prematurely. I knew that Baofei, who always knew the rules, would definitely visit her. She went back early, this is my chance.

That night, I was full of enthusiasm. When everyone gathered in Yongfu Palace, waiting for Wang Jieyu to give birth, my confidants arranged in the bamboo forest that must pass through when returning to Cuiluxuan.

In fact, my arrangement is very simple. I 'accidentally' learned that although the golden silk is as thin as a hair, it is extremely tough, and I happen to have this thing in my hand.

I took advantage of the favorable environment of the bamboo forest. First, I tied a piece of golden silk to the bamboo on both sides of the road, just in the middle of the road, as high as ankles.

In order to eliminate the evidence afterwards and make Baofei have nowhere to escape, I poured combustion aids on the dry bamboo forest, and a small flame would cause the fire to rage violently.

I am very confident in my plan and complacent, Ji Baozhu, let me see how you escaped from such a well-planned plan.

Thinking about it, I was really stupid. I thought my actions were secretive, but I didn't know that all my actions were under the noses of others, and it was even her many times of secret assistance that made it so smooth.

That's right, how can I, who is so unfavored, get so many combustion aids at once?Poor me, I think I'm smart, but I don't know that these tricks are only successful step by step under the hints and connivance of others, and finally become her scapegoat.

Yongfu Palace, when I saw my cousin leaving in a panic, I knew that the matter was over, and at the same time I was happy and jealous of my cousin's concern. Cousin, you will never be confused by this foxy son again .

Things are always unexpected. When I learned that Concubine Bao was safe and sound, I wondered why she was so lucky to escape this fatal situation.

My cousin was furious and began to clean up the harem. At this time, I was afraid, afraid of being exposed, and afraid of being spurned by my cousin. I watched my people disappear one by one. During that time, I was suffering in my heart.

Two months later, the nightmare came true. I was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the cold palace. This time, my mother failed to save me.

My cousin never looked at me directly from the beginning to the end, I wanted to hate him but I couldn't, even at this moment, lying in the deserted cold palace, I still had hope in my heart, I still hoped that my cousin would remember me .

The life in the cold palace is difficult. Although I have the care of my mother and the queen mother, my life is not miserable, but the longing for my cousin tortures me constantly, and I feel that I am going crazy.

Later, I 'accidentally' overheard the conversation between the two little maids who took care of me, and then I realized that everything about me was planned by the empress.

That day, I looked up to the sky and laughed. I lost, to someone I had always been hostile to. It turned out that she was using me. No wonder, since when, what the people around me said and heard were all treasures. How the concubine is favored, that's how it is.

It turned out that I had entered the game arranged by others early on, but I didn't know it. I was not reconciled. I wanted revenge, revenge, and revenge against all the women in the palace. They caused me to lose my cousin.

So I told Wang Meiyi who came to make a routine, told her Chunhua's true identity, and told her that Chunhua was the Queen's person. I imagined that bitch Wang Meiyi was holding her sick and crooked son, and after spending time in regret For half my life, I was in a good mood.

I contacted the people my mother entrusted me to protect me. One of them was the outlying eunuch of the Qianqing Palace. I sent a message and asked him to find out my cousin's movements for me and convey my thoughts. Cousin, I want to see him. Thinking about it hurts like a bone.

A few days later, I finally got a response. My cousin would come to see me. I was ecstatic and dressed up carefully. The court lady "kindly" went to the imperial dining room and prepared a special peach blossom brew for me for our meeting. Adds to the atmosphere.

How foolish and happy am I not to notice this?

How can a little eunuch grasp his cousin's activities?How can a maid of the cold palace get peach blossom wine in the imperial dining room?

What an ironic joke, but I didn't notice it, wishful thinking that it was the queen mother, the mother, and the entrusted person took good care of me, I think I have gone crazy.

The wine smelled mellow and fragrant, and I waited quietly for Zhenai. Under the persuasion of the maid, I was excited and drank a few cups to adjust the atmosphere. The peach blossom brew had great stamina.

After a while, I became confused. I saw myself in the mirror with a peach blossom face and blurred eyes. I was still complacent about my remaining rationality. Finally, my dear cousin came.

I pounced on him, hugged him tightly, and kissed passionately. I think my cousin was frightened by me. He grabbed me and wanted to get rid of me. I don’t know where I got the strength from. All I know is, cousin Today is mine, and no one can take it away.

Later, I heard an exclamation in a daze, and later, I woke up, and I had a beautiful dream. In the dream, my cousin in white clothes fluttered and smiled at me. I was very happy, until there was a severe pain in my stomach. , I fell into endless darkness....
