The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.
He Yi finally became the princess's wife, but her imperial edict has not yet come down.
Some people say that the emperor seems to still remember the former Wei Guogong's wife.
Also, He Tian was critically ill several times back then, with half of his foot hanging at the gate of hell all year round.
Master Huitong and everyone at Taiyuan Hospital were helpless. They had no other words to say except "do your best and obey destiny."
But it was such a dilapidated body that would make anyone shake their heads when they looked at it, yet it was dragged on for more than ten years.
There were rumors that the medicinal materials given by the emperor saved He's life.
He was able to hold his breath and survive every critical illness, all because of the emperor's blessing.
Although it sounds like nonsense, He's facts are right in front of you.
This made many nobles in the capital whisper secretly: Is it really the protection of His Majesty's dragon energy? !
For some old ministers, when their longevity is approaching, their families will try their best to come to the emperor.
Emperor: ...of course I'm happy.
Being regarded as a life-saving Bodhisattva, even as noble as an emperor, he felt very happy.
Moreover, because the medicinal materials he rewarded were contaminated with dragon energy and could cure diseases and prolong life, he seemed to have become more prestigious as an emperor.
They are all deified!
Anyway, no matter what others do, as long as He is still alive and well, the emperor will always be able to hold a high position.
Therefore, the emperor was very sorry for He Tian's death.
Several years after He Tian's death, the emperor still remembered that there was such a woman who relied on his dragon energy to survive.
In the emperor's mind, He was probably the only wife of the Duke of Wei.
Kang Mo must also be aware of He Tian's special significance to the emperor, so after He Tian passed away, he suppressed his long-cherished wish and He Yi's repeated pleas, and pretended to keep filial piety to He Tian for two years.
After making enough gestures, Kang Mo found a way to marry He Yi.
Not long after He Yi entered the house, Kang Mo gave her a letter asking for a royal decree.
However, the emperor did not approve it.
"... This, this is nothing. He Tian's imperial edict was delayed for three or four years. His Majesty only approved it after I had achieved military exploits!"
Kang Mo didn't know whether he wanted to comfort He Tian or to convince himself.
However, regardless of whether He Yi was successfully comforted or not, Comer was reminded: "By the way, the Snow Lotus Virgin is making trouble in the southwest again, and sooner or later there will be a war in the southwest."
At that time, he took the initiative to ask for a fight.
After achieving military exploits, he, he can ask the emperor to give He Yi some dignity!
He Yi:…
She was unhappy, but she had no other choice, and she didn't dare to show it.
More than ten years have passed, and she is no longer the silly woman who had only love in her heart.
She had an affair without a matchmaker and gave birth to a child out of wedlock. She was obviously the daughter of an uncle's house, but she had to hide in the mountains and forests to become a female Taoist priest.
It was not easy until He Tian died, but Kang Mo did not take her back to the capital immediately.
Kang Mo actually wanted to keep filial piety to that woman!
What a joke, what a big joke.
These days, it is women who observe filial piety for their late husbands, and there is no reason for husbands to observe filial piety for their wives.
Does Comer still want to earn a chastity memorial for himself
Having already passed her twenty-seventh birthday, He Yi is no longer naive, and it’s not that she doesn’t understand Kang Mo’s concerns.
…So, Comer doesn’t love her as much as he says.
In fact, He Yi has discovered this a long time ago. No sincerity or love can compare to power and wealth.
If Kang Mo really loved her, he would not have wasted more than ten years of her life in vain, nor would he have made her the laughing stock of everyone in the capital.
He Yi is full of expectations for Kang Mo, and is also full of admiration and love for him.
However, she suffered disappointment again and again, leaving herself in a quagmire that she could not get out of.
In the end, He Yi completely gave up on Kang Mo.
Regarding his many explanations, He Yi didn't show any emotion on her face, but she didn't believe a word of them in her heart.
What do you believe
She believed in Comer too much back then, and that's why she ended up where she is now.
After passing the period of filial piety, I have to pass the test of the dowager and the prince.
He Yi's heart aches every time she thinks of the disgusting, critical, and disdainful looks from Mrs. Tai, the Prince, and others.
It seems that in their eyes, she, the dignified eldest daughter of the Yongchang House, is probably not as good as a remarried country woman!
But, no matter what, she survived no matter how embarrassing the experience was.
She was finally able to return to the capital in an upright manner and re-enter the circle of powerful people in the capital.
However, a new round of pain came again.
There is no airtight wall in the world. No matter how tightly the matter between her and Comer is kept under wraps, even a little bit of it will always come out for more than ten years.
In fact, others don't need to look for any evidence. They just look at the "adopted son" Kang Mo received in his name a few years ago. Gee, the child's facial features are very similar to He Yi's, and his face and ears are unique to the Kang family!
It’s true that everyone in the world is blind and stupid.
Kang Mo said that the second young master in the house was an adopted son and an adopted orphan from Paoze. Did everyone really believe it
Especially after the death of Wei Guogong's wife He, although Kang Mo was a widower with an eldest son, he was still in his early thirties and had a title, real power and divine favor.
It is absolutely possible to marry a well-matched unmarried girl.
Even the queen in the palace joked that she would be a matchmaker for Duke Wei.
As a result, Kang Mo chose to marry a female Taoist priest who had just returned to secular life, an old woman of twenty-six or seventeen years old, despite the many young ladies with similar qualifications in Beijing.
He Yi's years have passed away long ago. Regardless of her birth or age, she is not worthy of being a first-grade Duke.
But Kang Mo still resisted all opinions and would rather risk offending the nobles in the palace to marry He Yi, an "old lady".
Before, some people thought that Comer was too emotional and would risk everything for true love.
Afterwards, everyone looked at He Yi and then at the so-called adopted son. Is there anything they don't understand
There's no such thing as being sentimental, it's obviously to the point where it's not possible to marry He Yi!
Of course, the possibility that Comer likes He Yi cannot be completely ruled out.
However, everyone always feels that the relationship between Kang Mo and He Yi is no longer as simple as "true love".
In fact, let alone outsiders, even He Yi didn't believe how much Kang Mo loved her.
Comer insisted on marrying her, not so much for love, but to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
Comer has been holding his breath for years.
As a man who inherited a title at a young age and had great military exploits, Comer was already accustomed to controlling everything.
In his heart, he probably would not surrender to anyone except the emperor.
Do whatever you want and be willful... Although Comer doesn't show it, he is extremely conceited and arrogant on the inside.
As a result, all the smoothness fell down on He Tian.
Kang Mo fell in love with He Yi and wanted He Tian to die soon, but she wouldn't die.
Kang Mo wanted to kill him secretly, but He Tian unexpectedly gained the emperor's attention, and he didn't dare to take action at all.
Kang Mo once made such a high-spirited promise to He Yi, but then he felt so aggrieved.
He Yi endured it, so why not Kang Mo
In the end, Kang Mo wanted to marry He Yi not just for the past love and years of friendship, but also for the bad breath in his chest.
It seemed that as long as he married He Yi home and allowed his illegitimate son to recognize his ancestor, the "humiliation" he suffered from He Tian would be wiped away!
Comer himself didn't seem to be aware of his twisted mentality. He also mistakenly thought that he loved He Yi deeply and was willing to give everything for her.
He Yi, who was made sensitive and thoughtful by reality, realized it.
However, she did not expose it, but took advantage of it to make herself and her children live a better life.
Therefore, when He Yi heard Kang Mo vowing that once there was a war in the southwest, he would take the initiative to fight, strive for meritorious service, and then ask for a royal title for her, He Yi didn't believe it in her heart, but she had a moved look on her face.
"...Master, I know that you are the best to me in this world!"
He Yi knew that Kang Mo liked her sweet and innocent appearance the most.
However, although she had seen through Comer, she had not seen through herself - a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old was indeed a sweetheart, but for a twenty-six or seven-year-old woman who could be a grandmother, she would do such a thing again. The coquettish behavior is really inappropriate.
It's not an eyesore, but it doesn't have much aesthetic appeal, and it won't tug at Comer's heartstrings.
Sure enough, when He Yi snuggled into Kang Mo's arms, allowing Kang Mo to see up close her skin that had long since lost collagen and was no longer firm, Kang Mo's eyes flashed with disgust.
"Okay, you should go to bed early. I, I'm going to the study!"
Kang Mo pushed He Yi away stiffly, said something casually, and left in a hurry.
Looking at Kang Mo's back, the sweet smile on He Yi's face disappeared instantly.
…
Whether it's Kang Mo or He Yi, they seem to want to prove to everyone that they are true love.
They had spent more than ten years with He Tian, and they were not joking.
Nowadays, lovers finally get married. Even if they suffer the glares and ridicule of countless people, they will still show deep love and never leave each other outside.
However, the rift between the two became deeper and deeper.
Even Comer, who wanted to make great achievements as soon as possible and regain power, felt it.
You may be able to pretend for a short time whether you like a woman or not, but over time, it becomes really difficult to deceive yourself.
However, Kang Mo has not completely wiped out his conscience, or in other words, he still has a trace of friendship for He Yi.
When he was attracted to other girls who were younger, more beautiful, and more innocent, Kang Mo thought: Don't worry, wait until I give Xiao He a royal title and give her the honor of being the Duke's wife. I'll take Xueer in again.
Comer secretly hid his new love in the golden room outside.
He felt that the arrangement was very good and he did not feel sorry for He Yi.
He Yi, who was already suspicious, soon discovered Kang Mo's "secret".
At that moment, He Yi originally thought that she would be angry and explode, but in the end, she felt like "that's true."
It was as if a big stone hanging in my heart finally fell.
Although it hurt her, it also made her realize the reality.
He Yi was not hysterical, nor did he expose the matter, but pretended not to know anything.
She just accelerated the pace of urging Comer to grant her a royal title, and secretly paved the way for her son.
"...Brother Yuan is working as an errand in Dongda Camp. Our Brother Rui is also thirteen years old this year. He is not very good at studying. We might as well let him go to the military camp!"
The Rui Geer that He Yi mentioned was the child she gave birth to for Comer.
When she was pregnant, He Yi was scolded by Uncle Yongchang and worried about her future. During this period, she even drank an abortion pill because of hesitation and regret.
When she was giving birth, she encountered a difficult delivery and finally gave birth to a son, but her body was also damaged.
In these years in Taoist Temple, He Yi was afraid of giving birth to another child. Instead of taking good care of her body, He Yi had to take some contraceptive herbs.
Now, He Yi has become a legitimate wife of the duke and can give birth to a legitimate child. As a result, she was unable to reproduce.
The son who was brought back to the government by Kang Mo as his adopted son was He Yi's only flesh and blood.
Her life was ruined, so He Yi wanted her son to have a good future.
It's a shame that He Tian refused to die and waited until Brother Yuan got married and had children, and established a firm foothold in the army. Even if he had a stepmother, he would not be afraid of being punished.
What's even more hateful is that the Yue family that He Tian chose for Brother Yuan was very capable. Even Kang Mo didn't dare to take away Brother Yuan's title for no reason.
As long as Brother Yuan doesn't make too many mistakes, he can successfully inherit the title of Duke of Wei.
Why? !
They are both Kang Mo's sons. He Tian's son can be the Duke of the country, but her son doesn't even have a meritorious title? !
He Yi refused to accept it, and she wanted to do her best to help her son while Kang Mo was still willing to worry about his face.
However, He Yi never expected that he would endure humiliation and bear the burden for his son, but his son would not appreciate it at all.
"Dongdaying? I won't go! Mom, don't you think I'm embarrassed enough?"
"What kind of place is Dong Daying? It's full of noble children and generals' juniors. These people are high-minded, proud and self-sufficient. I, a mere adopted son of the Duke's Palace, am better than a slave. What qualifications do I have to go there?" Dong Daying?”
Thirteen-year-old Rui Geer was at his most rebellious.
In the past, he didn't know his own life experience, and he didn't know that he was an illegitimate child who was not allowed to live in the world.
After being brought back to the capital by his father, he met his father's real wife, Mrs. He, saw that frail but very beautiful woman with his own eyes, and heard the whispers of the people around him, only then did Rui Geer realize how disgraceful his existence was.
And what a shameless and scandalous thing his mother had done!
Rui Geer was so ashamed that he began to become sensitive and inferior. He felt that he was simply the original sin.
Later, he lived in the Duke's Mansion for a period of time, enjoyed the wealth of a wealthy family, and saw the dignity and glory of his half-brother, the Crown Prince. His inferiority complex began to have negative emotions such as envy, jealousy, and so on.
Now Rui Ge'er is psychologically twisted, irritable, and full of resentment towards his once beloved mother.
Hearing that He Yi was going to arrange a future for him, one of his sensitive nerves was touched, and he exploded: "Who am I? Ah? Adopted son! What are the statuses of the adopted sons of powerful families in Beijing? Don't you still?" Know?"
He Yi was shocked by her son's mania and blurted out, "Nonsense, you are not an adopted son, you are the biological flesh and blood of me and your father!"
"Do you dare to say it? Do you and my father dare to say this in front of everyone in the capital?"
"Don't you dare! Because an illegitimate child is worse than an adopted child. An adopted child can at least cover his shame! And an illegitimate child, ah, my special mother is basically an adulterous child, an adulterous child who had sex without a matchmaker!"
"What kind of future? Haha, with my dirty status, who is willing to be my comrade? Who is willing to marry me?"
"Mom, why did you give birth to me in the first place? Let me bear such a sin as soon as I was born? Why? Was I your enemy in my previous life, and you want to harm me like this?"
He Yi didn't know how she left her son's courtyard. She only knew that her son hated her and her only son hated her.
Subsequently, the emperor kept suppressing the request for a royal seal, and war broke out in the southwest. The emperor activated a group of young generals such as Yuan Geer, but left Kang Mo aside.
Comer was frustrated in his career and didn't want to go home and face He Yi, a resentful woman, so he simply stayed outside in the golden room.
Her son is separated from her husband, her husband has a new love, her mother-in-law, her brothers and sisters-in-law all look down on her... Her persistence in the past ten years seems to be a joke.
He Yi secretly ordered someone to get the crane crown red, put on the dress she wore when they were in love, and died together with Kang Mo.
