The queen mother is not Song Huaiyuan's biological mother.
On the day Song Huaiyuan's mother and concubine committed suicide by taking poison, Song Huaiyuan was forcibly pulled away from his mother's concubine's body and brought to the Empress Dowager.
At that time Song Huaiyuan was still young, but he knew very well that the glass of poisoned wine his mother and concubine drank was sent by the Queen Mother.
Therefore, he looked at the Queen Mother with deep hatred in his eyes.
The Empress Dowager did not shy away from it, she dismissed everyone, sat there with a dignified manner, smiled at him gently, but the words in her mouth made people feel chills.
She said: "Do you hate? Want to avenge your mother and concubine? Then listen to me, I will assist you to ascend to the throne, and after that, it is up to you to decide whether to kill or cut into pieces."
At that time, Song Huaiyuan knew that this unparalleled woman was a lunatic.
The Empress Dowager had no children. After that day, Song Huaiyuan became the only legitimate son in the palace.
As she said, the Empress Dowager gave Song Huaiyuan the best food and clothing, invited the most famous civil and military masters for Song Huaiyuan, and everything was carefully cultivated according to the method of the prince.
It's just that Song Huaiyuan was never allowed to get close to anyone.
Song Huaiyuan saw his nanny being rode to death with his own eyes, and the maidservant he was a little close to fell into the water in the Royal Garden the next day and died, and even the cat that Song Huaiyuan raised was drowned alive in front of him. As long as Song Huaiyuan likes and cares about, without exception, they will die tragically before his eyes.
Song Huaiyuan still remembers that the Queen Mother once held his hand and led him to the top of the Star Picking Tower. She raised her hand and pointed to the distance, and said to him: "If you want to sit on this beautiful river and mountain, and make all the people in the world bow their heads If you become a vassal, then you will never be able to have an affair, I hope that you will become an eternal emperor who will go down in history, and not like your father, who spends his life gloomy about his children's affair."
The first emperor had affection for Concubine Die, so he misunderstood the people of the country and the life of the Empress Dowager, so the Empress Dowager did not allow him to be affectionate.
When the Empress Dowager said this, the hand holding Song Huaiyuan was so cold to the bone, Song Huaiyuan felt cold, but did not dare to break free.
That night Song Huaiyuan sat alone on the stone steps in front of the hall for a long time, the sky steps were as cold as water and moonlight, when Song Huaiyuan came back to his senses, he felt his cheeks were wet, and when he wiped them with his hand, he found it was tears.
After that, Song Huaiyuan redoubled his efforts, tried his best to please the first emperor, and finally ascended the throne with the full support of the queen mother.
He acts tyrannically for the empress, and he is merciless. Once he makes a mistake, he will be severely punished. The government and the opposition are silent on this young emperor.
So he got used to the respectful and bowed heads of the crowd, and also got used to the empty and cold moonlight in Jingren Hall.
He is full-fledged, and he no longer needs to act according to the Queen Mother's face. He can do whatever he wants and do anything according to his own wishes.
But he can never learn how to love someone again.
