So when Concubine Jing was giving birth, she bribed Concubine Jing's personal maids and lit some incense in Concubine Jing's room. This incense contained musk and could cause miscarriage and infertility. Concubine Jing loved spices. All kinds of spices are mixed together, but you can't smell it. To talk about how the Queen bribed the maids around Concubine Jing, it was nothing more than coercion and inducement. Just like Concubine Jing, the people around her don't have too many thoughts, and the queen can easily control them. Two months before Concubine Jing gave birth, the Queen went to Mount Wutai to pray for the child in Concubine Jing's belly. Because the queen was not there that night when Concubine Jing's accident happened, there is no evidence.
Countless women died in the palace every year, so even though Concubine Jing was the emperor's favorite woman, the emperor only grieved for a while and said nothing more. Even though he knew in his heart that this matter had something to do with the Queen, there was nothing he could do about it. The queen is not just a woman, the power behind her is also what the emperor needs. The Queen took a fancy to this point and did it so boldly.
Concubine Jing and the little prince who was about to be born were dead, but Fu Yunxi and the eldest prince were still there. The queen raised the two of them under her own name. When the queen was a queen, in the eyes of outsiders, she lived up to her reputation as virtuous and tolerant. Even Concubine Jing was very close to her, and Fu Yunxi and the eldest prince were also very close to her at that time.
The emperor had no reason to refuse and raised Fu Yunxi and the eldest prince in the name of the queen. It would be justifiable for him to succeed the prince in the future. However, the emperor was afraid that the queen had other ideas, so he secretly asked the two brothers to release them. queen. It's just that children are originally simple-minded and have no idea of the dangers in the world, nor do they know what kind of ambition is hidden under the mask of smile. After the death of the first emperor, the queen became the queen mother, and the eldest prince succeeded to the throne. Soon, the queen mother completely gained the trust and respect of the two brothers.
The Queen Mother would order the imperial kitchen to prepare medicated meals for the two brothers every day. The mountain snow lotus was too precious that day, and the emperor felt sorry for his frail brother, so he simply left his medicated meals to Fu Yunxi, but he did not know that this would cost his closest relatives After taking double the amount of poison, the cold poison took root in his body.
When Fu Yunxi was a teenager, she wanted to talk to the Queen Mother one afternoon. She accidentally bumped into the conversation between the Queen and her aunt, and then she learned the cause of Concubine Jing's death that year. At that time, he was both angry and shocked. After so many years of recognizing a thief as his father, and treating the person who killed his biological mother as his closest relative, he wanted to rush in and kill the hypocritical woman immediately. But he knew that he couldn't. The emperor had just ascended the throne and his power had not yet been firmly established. Many people in the court were from the Queen Mother's side. Once they broke up, it would only bring trouble to the emperor.
He could only endure all the pain and could not tell the emperor's brother about this matter. The emperor's brother was more impulsive than him, and he might question the Queen Mother directly. He wanted to take revenge and help the emperor's brother to secure the throne. He could only hide his power and bide his time, cultivate his own power, and wait until one day when he no longer had to worry about the Queen Mother's power, he could make the crimes she had committed public to the public and avenge his mother.
The fastest way to cultivate power is to obtain military power. But it is not enough to just have military power. You must also establish your own prestige among the army. As a young man, he went to fight against Xirong despite the objections of his imperial brother. Firstly, he wanted to spend some time away from the palace to think about countermeasures. Secondly, he wanted to accumulate strength and one day be able to compete with the Queen Mother.
Besides, the fact that the eldest prince has been on the throne for so many years was originally an accident. The queen mother originally wanted to use cold poison to control the two brothers and wait for them to die before raising a puppet. Who would have thought that Fu Yunxi had eaten all the medicine and food, and the emperor was safe and sound. The Queen Mother's wishful thinking had come to nothing. Seeing that the emperor was getting better and better in political achievements, and the number of emperors in the court gradually increased, she was very anxious in her heart. She did not expect that her age The young Fu Yunxi returned victorious a year later and made great military exploits. He suddenly established prestige among military officers and could no longer be underestimated.
These two people were out of her control, making things a bit difficult for her to handle. The Queen Mother's power becomes weaker and her own power becomes stronger, which is an excellent opportunity in itself.
But at this juncture, Fu Yunxi's cold disease broke out.
I don't know if it's his luck or bad luck. The double cold poison caused him to get sick prematurely, and he happened to be seen by Dr. Wu. Although he couldn't be cured, Dr. Wu's superb medical skills finally contained some of the toxicity.
He finally had enough ability to dominate the court, and no one dared to look down on him anymore. The imperial brother has become a wise king, and the country is stable and prosperous. However, the enemy has not yet been punished, but his life is about to be lost.
His tone was very calm, as if he was not talking about his own affairs. However, Han Yan could hear those pupils in his plain voice. The young man with hatred hidden in his heart worked step by step to protect himself and his brothers in the palace where people were killed without blood, and finally grew into an indifferent and handsome young man.
"At that time... did you ever feel hopeless?" Han Yan asked. In fact, Fu Yunxi's life was almost exactly the same as Han Yan's previous life. Her mother died young, and she was left alone to face the scheming people around her, believing that her thieves were her father. However, Fu Yunxi discovered the true face of the Queen Mother early. However, it was only at the moment of his death that Han Yan discovered that his whole life had been a lie. In such an environment, no one can help me, which is actually very painful. Then will Fu Yunxi be as helpless and desperate as Han Yan once was
"No." Fu Yunxi lowered his eyes: "Despair cannot take revenge," he said.
Despair is a meaningless thing. Fu Yunxi is very purposeful in doing things. One of the reasons why the Queen Mother did not expect that things would develop to this point is that she underestimated the endurance of the young man at that time. He is more tolerant than anyone else and has no mercy on himself. He has a heart that was born to survive in the palace, too strong and alert. He is not desperate, because despair will not bring him any help in the matter of revenge. All he has to do is live ambitiously.
He did it. At this time, he has the power and status that cannot be underestimated. No one can shake him. Even in bed, he can still arrange everything calmly, for example, counterattack against the Queen Mother.
Han Yan said: "Then you are not in despair now, are you?"
As long as a person does not despair, then everything has hope. Fu Yunxi has never despaired in such a situation, and he should not give up hope now. What he fears most is that he will just accept his fate without doing anything. That is The scariest thing.
Hearing this, Fu Yunxi smiled slightly: "Yes."
This smile gave his cold brows and eyes some warmth. Han Yan stretched out her arms, hugged his waist, and buried her head deeply in his arms. Fu Yunxi's body was so cold that even Han Yan felt like he had entered a cold ice cellar, and his whole body was unbearably cold. If he is like this, then what kind of suffering does Fu Yunxi, who endures the cold poison, endure every day and night
