Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 119

"I really regret it." Xuan Ye's voice was trembling: "Not only do I regret what I did to her later, but I also regret that I shouldn't have taken her into the palace at the beginning! Even if Rong Huang is not by my side now, as long as I I am satisfied if she is alive...but why did she die, why did she die! "

Cao Yin lowered his head and did not dare to say anything, for fear of offending the emperor by saying something wrong again.Xuan Ye didn't need other people's response, so he said to himself: "And it happened when I loved her the most... she died. As much as I loved her, I hated myself. I killed her with my own hands, and it was I who killed her. ..."

Before Xuan Ye finished speaking, his chest suddenly trembled, as if his heart was about to split open.So his voice got stuck in his throat, and he said intermittently: "I... stole... Rong Ruo's, I don't want to... owe... his brother's woman."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Cao Yin quickly directed the accompanying guards to open the way ahead, helped the emperor into the car, and said as he walked, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself anymore! Is it the king's land in the world? Which woman you want is just a matter of one sentence, and there is no question of whether to grab it or not!"

Xuan Ye suddenly smiled when he heard the words: "Maybe..." Only he knew how bitter this smile was, how much blood, tears and heartache it contained.

Later, in Kangxi's 23rd draft, the emperor personally pointed out Geng Chan to Nalan Kuixu, the second son of Nalan Mingzhu.It was also from the end of the 23rd year of Kangxi that Kangxi no longer looked for a woman similar to Ronghuang.

Because he began to suspect that Rong Huang was not dead at all.

In the 23rd year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi made his first southern tour.During his southern tour, Cao Yin found a woman very similar to Rong Huang.Later Xuanye also saw her profile and back.Although he couldn't see her face, Xuan Ye believed that he would never admit to the woman he had been madly in love with for so many years.

He firmly believed that it was Ronghuang.

But now comes the problem.Since that was Empress Xiao Zhaoren, who was buried underground?
A crazy idea gradually took shape in Kangxi's mind.For the first time, he began to suspect Rong Huang's death.

At that time, the San Francisco Rebellion broke out, and due to the situation, he was unable to stay in the palace with Rong Huang to wait for her delivery.At that time, due to the queen's dystocia, the shaman naturally started doing rituals in Kunning Palace.Unexpectedly, a fire fell from the sky, and the Kunning Palace was in chaos.

Although Xuan Ye was not in the palace at that time, he could still imagine how chaotic the scene was.If Rong Huang really wanted to escape, it was not impossible.

But... Why did Ronghuang run away?
Xuan Ye is a delicate person, and he quickly recalled that he once favored a Wu Ya family back then.This Wu Yashi was pregnant, and one day Kangxi drank too much, and accidentally expressed his intention to adopt Ronghuang's child.Could it be that this Wu Ya clan revealed something to Rong Huang?
This is not impossible.Wu Yashi came from Concubine Yi's palace, and Concubine Yi made friends with Rong Huang, maybe Rong Huang left him just because of a moment of anger.

After this idea came up, Xuan Ye suddenly laughed like a child who ate candy.He was surprised to find that he was not angry at all, even if Rong Huang really escaped, he didn't mind, as long as...she was still alive.

As long as there is life, there is hope.

It's a pity that Wu Yashi is dead, and the only person who knows about it now is Concubine Yi.Thinking of this, Xuan Ye rushed to Chengqian Palace without stopping.

In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Yi just woke up from a nap and is playing chess with Si Age.Seeing the emperor coming, the mother and son stood up and saluted tacitly.

Xuan Ye quickly helped them up, and said to the fourth elder brother: "Yinzhen, Huang Ama has something to say to your mother, you should step back first."

Yinzhen answered "yes" lightly, glanced at Concubine Yi as if casually, and left as promised.Although the mother and son didn't say anything, Concubine Yi knew that Yinzhen had just told her "it's okay, don't worry".

This Yinzhen doesn't look like a child at all.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yi couldn't help laughing.

When Xuan Ye saw her, he asked her: "What happened to laugh so happily all of a sudden?"

Concubine Yi smiled and said: "The concubine feels that Yinzhen is caring, so she is very happy."

Xuan Ye was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "It's just that no matter how caring he is with you, he is still Rong Huang's son after all, don't you think so?"

Concubine Yi was stunned, and said in a low voice: "Yes... the fourth elder brother is the son of Empress Xiaozhao, this concubine has never denied it. Every year on the anniversary of the queen's death, the concubine will take the fourth elder brother to mourn her sister."

"Jinglin." Kangxi looked at her very intently, and said word by word: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Concubine Yi was startled, her heart was beating non-stop.After all, she was thin-skinned, and she couldn't help but look away under the emperor's fierce gaze.

"Of course...not anymore. The courtiers and concubines have always behaved well in the palace, and the emperor knows it all. How dare you hide something from you?"

"Really?" Xuan Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly said with a smile: "But I have heard some rumors, how about you analyze them for me, whether these rumors are true or not?"

Concubine Yi is not an idiot either, since Xuan Ye entered the door today, she first mentioned Yin Zhen's life experience, and also said that she had something to hide from him, obviously she knew something, and it was related to Rong Huang.

"Since the emperor has already said that it is all rumors, then the emperor will not believe it. Since the emperor himself does not believe it, then why let the concubines analyze it? Just ignore it."

Xuan Ye was taken aback, but he didn't expect Concubine Yi to be so eloquent all of a sudden, not at all like her usual neither arrogant nor impatient personality.Not only did I not feel relieved, but it was even more strange.

"But this matter is so important that I have to doubt it." He suddenly took Concubine Yi's hand, and his words were as sharp as a needle: "If I remember correctly, the noble man Wu Yashi was inherited by you." People in the palace, did she say anything to you that shouldn't be said?"

Concubine Yi's heart sank, and she thought, "Sure enough, it's here."She resisted the urge to shake off Xuan Ye, and patiently replied: "The emperor is referring to the virtuous man who murdered Empress Xiaozhao? The concubine has a deep relationship with the empress, how could she harm her? The emperor must have listened to the villain's slander, Misunderstood something."

"You clearly know what I'm talking about!" Xuan Ye finally couldn't hold back his anger, "Jinglin, you know something clearly, why did you hide it from me? You don't know, I saw Rong Huang in Shandong! You still Want to quibble, is it because you don't want to part with Si elder brother, and you are afraid that Rong Huang will take your son away?"

"No, I am not!"

In desperation, Concubine Yi blurted out instinctively.

Xuan Ye suddenly put away his angry expression and smiled: "You really know the inside story."

Concubine Yi knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, but she was not reconciled to being uttered by Xuan Ye like this: "It seems that the emperor misses Empress Xiaozhao too much, so he has hallucinations? The empress has been gone for so many years, how could she appear in the What about Shandong? The emperor must have misread it."

"Do you think you can fool me in this way?" Kangxi sneered: "You have always been by my side, you should know what kind of life I have lived since Rong Huang left. This feeling of wanting to die instead of my sweetheart, do you understand?"

Concubine Yi didn't speak.Xuanye has indeed had a bad life these past few years, and she has no way of denying this.Although Xuan Ye has never had any women around him, he obviously doesn't really like them.Concubine Yi Guo Luoluo didn't come to her once or twice to cry, saying that the emperor never called her by her name, and only called "Ronghuang" when he was in love.Even the emperor drove them away in disgust every time after going to bed, as if he hated them very much.

In fact, what the emperor hated was not these concubines who were sleeping in bed, but himself who tried to use other women to numb his pain.

That's right, Xuan Ye deeply loathed himself.I hate myself who is so insensitive, who is unscrupulous, and who doesn't know how to repent!

On the one hand, he is eager to work hard to create a prosperous world.On the one hand, he fell into a strange circle, wishing that such a despicable self would die all the time.

It was so contradictory and painful.Perhaps finding Ronghuang will lead to his only way of life.

And that was exactly Rong Huang's dead end.

More than ten years have passed.Xuan Ye's love is no longer the same as Rong Huang, he is just not reconciled.Just like being unwilling that the epiphyllum withers at the most beautiful moment, and that the fireworks disappear at the most splendid moment, Xuan Ye is unwilling that his little phoenix suddenly leaves when he loves the most and cannot extricate himself, making him regret, Spend the rest of your life in self-blame and powerlessness.

It's true that he loves Ronghuang, but the self-torture over the past ten years has made him hate her deep in his heart.He hated why she had to leave so ruthlessly, why she had to leave his world in such a tragic way and mercilessly.

So even if Rong Huang came back one day, he would only have a short favor and the joy of regaining her, and he would never have a deep love for her again.

What he said in his mouth that if he can get Ronghuang back, he will not hurt her anymore is just deceiving himself.

What he can't get is the moon in the sky and the stars in the water, which are the best memories of his life.If you get it, it's just an insignificant woman with mud on the ground and snow in your hands.

So Rong Huang must escape.So Xuan Ye must look for it.
