In the depths of the Forbidden City, the morning sun rises, and the beautiful light shines through the delicate window lattices and sprinkles on the marble floor of the palace.
Yi Xiu, a special side fujin, sits at the dresser, her eyes reflected in the bright bronze mirror, her eyes full of complex emotions: dreams, disappointment, jealousy, and deep hatred.
Yi Xiu's life in the palace is not easy. She was originally just a concubine girl and was not valued by the family, but because of the favor of the fourth master, she was able to enter the palace and become a side blessing.
She once had such a dream: as long as she has a son, she can become the wife of the fourth master, so that she can completely change her fate. But fate always seems to like to joke, just when Yi Xiu was full of hope, Sister Chunyuan came.
Chunyuan descends, like a cold wind, blowing away the dream of cultivation. The fourth master was infatuated with Chunyuan and recognized the position of his wife.
After Chunyuan became a concubine, he ascended the throne with the fourth master and was raised to the throne of the queen. Yi Xiu watched as all his belongings were snatched away, and the child she gave birth to had to be named a concubine.
On this day, Yi Xiu sat by the window, holding his feelings for the fourth master and his hatred for Chunyuan. The happy years of the past came to mind again, when the emotions between her and the fourth master were pure and beautiful, but the arrival of Chunyuan made everything go down the drain. Yi Xiu's eyes flashed with determination, and she decided that she couldn't stop there.
Sister, why are you always so sad?A soft voice interrupted Yi Xiu's thoughts. Yi Xiu turned his head to see Chun Yuanzheng standing at the gate with a smile.
Yi Xiu pretended to be calm and replied, "Sister, I only do daily chores. There was an indifference in his voice that was not easy to be noticed.
Chunyuan approached Yi Xiu with a smile and said softly, "Everyone is a sister, so you don't need to have any scruples. I know it's not easy on your heart. But you have to believe that I love the fourth master, and I don't think about power. ”
Yi Xiu's heart tightened, but his face remained calm, and responded: "My sister has said a lot, but there are a lot of things in the palace, and I have always had a hard time. ”
Yi Xiu's heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, she likes the fourth master, so that she can't completely hate Chunyuan;On the other hand, she can't tolerate everything being taken away from her. In order to win a glimmer of life for himself, Yi Xiu decided to take action. She began to secretly observe Chunyuan's daily life and look for an opportunity to start.
Soon, Yi Xiu found that Chunyuan fell in love with a certain specially made dim sum.
She secretly planned to decide on dim sum poison. The implementation of this plan needs to be very cautious and hidden, but the determination to cultivate it has been made. She secretly buys a palace maid in charge of making dim sum to launch a revenge plan.
At this time, Yi Xiu's children died of illness, and this blow made Yi Xiu's heart completely collapse. She turned all her anger and sorrow into hatred for Chunyuan.
On the night of eating and sleeping, Yi Xiu stood in front of the window, watching the raindrops fall like tears in the yard, and there was only one thought left in his heart - revenge.
It is advisable to cultivate the plan, slowly and prudently. She began to secretly observe Chunyuan's preference for herself, especially in her eating Xi. By chance, she found that Chunyuan was very fond of a dim sum called "Xiang Xueqiu". This conclusion becomes a key to her revenge plan.
Yi Xiu quietly contacted the palace maid who was a "fragrant snowball", and used his identity and money to buy it out. She asked the palace maid to add a trace amount of poison to the dim sum, which was enough to weaken Chunyuan's physique, but it would not kill him immediately, so as to achieve the purpose of torturing Chunyuan.
Time flies, and Chunyuan's physical condition also begins to change strangely. She began to feel weak and her skin began to lose its radiance. The doctor in the palace was at a loss and couldn't find it**.
The fourth master was very worried about this, and often inquired about the situation of the doctor and Yi Xiu.
One day, the fourth master hurriedly came to Yi Xiu's dormitory, looking anxious: "Yi Xiu and Chunyuan are getting sicker and sicker, do you know what's going on?"”
Yi Xiu's heart was shocked, but he was still calm and calm, and replied: "Your Majesty, I am also worried about Empress Chunyuan, but I don't know the reason. ”
Just when Chunyuan was weak and sickly, it was rumored in the palace that Chunyuan was pregnant. This news made the whole palace rejoice, but for Yi Xiu, it was like a bolt from the blue.
She had no idea that her revenge would take a turn for her at such a critical moment. Yi Xiu has many contradictions in his heart: on the one hand, he hates Chunyuan, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to hurt an innocent life.
But the fire of revenge had already burned through Yi Xiu's heart, and Yi Xiu decided to continue with his plan. Chunyuan's physical condition deteriorated, but Yi Xiu secretly observed everything. Her heart grew heavier and heavier, but she said to herself that this was the only way.
Until one day, Chunyuan suddenly fell into a coma and hurriedly sent the imperial doctor to come. This news alarmed the imperial court, and the fourth master was so anxious that he almost didn't leave Chunyuan's bedside. Yi Xiu stood in the distance, looking at these, his heart was full of complicated feelings.
But at this time, Zhen Huan noticed it. She found out that Yi Xiu was an early morning person, and the two of them walked through the garden. Zhen Huan suddenly stopped and looked straight at Yi Xiu: "Yi Xiu, did you really do it?"”
Yi Xiu's heart sank, but she quickly regained her composure, and her voice was calm: "What did Zhen Huan say?"How did I do that?”
Zhen Huan looked at Yi Xiu deeply, and turned around and left without saying anything more. It is advisable to stay put, and the waves in your heart are crashing on the shore. She knew very well that her secret might be revealed. But she had no room to retreat, only to move on.
Behind these are dreams and hatreds that are difficult to give up. In this splendid but cold and ruthless court, the conspiracy and betrayal committed by Yi Xiu are slowly unfolding like a tragedy.
Time flies, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. The Forbidden City is still the golden stage, but the people and things inside have changed greatly.
Although Yi's plan to repair the revenge succeeded, it did not bring peace of mind. But as the days passed, she felt more and more regret and pain for what she had done.
The fourth master has also made new changes in his treatment of Yi Xiu, no longer caring and loving as before, which has brought Yi Xiu loneliness and hopelessness that he has never had.
Under these circumstances, news of the emperor's dying spread throughout the court. The former concubine Zhen Huan is now a powerful figure in the palace. When the emperor was dying, she decided that she wanted to expose the facts of those years ago.
Zhen Huan stood in front of the wide imperial bed, her eyes fell on the weak emperor's head, and her heart was full of heaviness. The air was filled with a quiet and solemn atmosphere, and it seemed that every word carried countless weights.
She let out a long breath slowly, as if she was collecting her mood and preparing for what she was about to say. Zhen Huan's voice was low and steady, with an imperceptible trill: "The emperor is actually not the fault of Empress Chunyuan. ”
The emperor's eyes twitched slightly, and there was a deep hope in his eyes, as if he was looking for some explanation, perhaps to calm the doubts in his heart, or perhaps to seek a comfort.
Zhen Huan took a deep breath and continued: "Empress Chunyuan is also unique in the palace. She did not hesitate to strengthen her position at the expense of others, and even used certain taboo methods. These tactics have temporarily strengthened her position, but they have harmed her health. ”
The emperor showed a deep stunned look on his face, and his eyes were fixed on Zhen Huan, as if he had found some real fragments from Zhen Huan's words. His voice was low and hoarse: "For so many years, I always feel that it is Yi Xiu's envy and hatred for Chunyuan that will make Chunyuan die. ”
Zhen Huan nodded lightly, with a kind of helplessness in her voice: "Your Majesty, Yi Xiu is indeed poisoned, but Chunyuan's death is also related to what he did. She was so ambitious and multifaceted that she finally weakened herself and hastened her death. ”
The emperor closed his eyes tightly, as if there was a sense of introspection, perhaps recalling the past. After a while, he opened his eyes again, and there was an indescribable sadness in his tone: "It turned out that things were not as easy as they imagined. I always have a misunderstanding of Yi Xiu, and I can't see through the true face of Chunyuan. ”
Zhen Huan's words seemed to stir up ripples in the emperor's heart. At this moment, the emperor's eyes were both relieved and infinitely sad, which was a reflection on the past and a deep understanding of the complexity of human nature.
The emperor closed his eyes, as if recalling the past. After a while, he slowly spoke: "I misinterpret Yi Xiu and ignore the complexity of the court. Zhen Huan, thank you for letting me know the truth. ”
Zhen Huan looked at the emperor, and a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in her eyes: "You are forced to see Yi Xiu." She was originally just a concubine daughter who was not valued by the family, and her marriage was a decision made by the family to protect its own interests. ”
The emperor bowed slightly, looking very tired. His voice was low and hoarse: "I know very well that it is too late. ”
This revealing conversation was like lightning that illuminated the shadows of those years in the court. reveals the complex reasons behind Yi Xiu's revenge, and at the same time shows the tragic fate of the characters in the court.
