On the Tonghua platform at nightfall, King Yunli of Guojun was looking forward to having dinner with the emperor.
Suddenly, the door behind him opened, and Yunli hurriedly stood up to salute the emperor, but unexpectedly found that it was the person he had been thinking about walking in - Xi Guifei Zhen Huan.
Xiao Xiazi came with Zhen Huan and explained: "The emperor hasn't woken up yet because of a hangover, so please come and accompany Concubine Xi first, and the emperor will arrive after bathing and changing clothes." ”
Soon after, everyone else left the room, leaving only Yunli and Zhen Huan in the house.
In fact, the emperor has always been jealous of Yunli, and even suspected that there was an improper relationship between her and Zhen Huan. This time, he arranged for Zhen Huan to go to see Yunli alone at night, the purpose was to put Yunli to death, and hoped that Zhen Huan could take action in person.
After understanding this, Yunli became more relaxed. Since you are destined to lose your life here, you might as well take this last chance to share your feelings openly with your loved ones.
He felt regretful, because when Ling Yunfeng got engaged, the two only signed the marriage post, but they did not carry out formal alloy etiquette.
Zhen Huan was deeply touched after hearing this, so she skillfully adjusted the device on the wine jug, poured non-toxic wine for Yunli, and also poured a glass of poisonous wine for herself. She knew the man was a bad person, but she didn't want to give up either. In order to give Yunli a chance to survive, she decides to sacrifice herself.
Yunli would never be ignorant of the various methods in the palace, and he knew that the emperor's temper would never let him go easily. Therefore, on the grounds of "the wind is blowing", he arranged for Zhen Huan to close the window, and took this opportunity to exchange the wine in front of the two.
Zhen Huan whispered about the twins she gave birth to without knowing it, but she didn't realize that Yunli had been poisoned and was struggling to endure the pain.
In the end, Yunli couldn't control himself anymore and spurted out a mouthful of blood, Zhen Huan immediately became scrambling, wanting to make Yunli spit out the poisonous wine, but it was too late.
Yunli expressed comfort to Zhen Huan, persuaded her to continue living for the sake of her children, and honored her as her only wife. After one last expression of love to her, she left this world forever.
As expected, Yunli's sacrifice not only ensured Zhen Huan's safety, but also won her the honor of being the queen of the same wife. In the harem, it's nothing short of a miracle!However, is the person Yunli really wants to protect Zhen Huan?Why would she do that?The answer is far more complicated than we think.
Yunli, as the seventeenth prince of the first emperor, was deeply favored since he was a child, and his knowledge of riding archery and poetry and books was taught by the first emperor himself. He had a prominent position in the palace, but he was not given the importance that the emperor deserved. Although he was a candidate for the crown prince, he was too young and opposed by many ministers, and in the end he failed to inherit the throne.
In the dangerous battle of "Nine Sons Seize the Inheritance", his fourth brother won the victory and became the current emperor. In this process, he experienced a huge transformation from "Son of Heaven" to "Crown Prince", and then from "Emperor" to "Queen Mother", and finally obtained the throne and the throne of the world. The emperor behaved with unusual indifference to his former enemies, who suffered the fate of being unsealed and imprisoned, even if they were his own brothers.
Although the emperor had a relatively close relationship with Yunli in the past and showed great favor to him after his accession to the throne, the excessive favor of Yunli by the first emperor was still a sore point in the emperor's heart.
Yunli has a deep understanding of this, and at the same time understands the emperor's suspicious character. Therefore, he decided to hide his light and become an idle prince who only knew how to go around chasing beautiful women and drinking and having fun, always careful to ensure the survival of himself and his mother.
Yunli originally thought that he would spend the rest of his life like this, but he didn't expect to meet Zhen Huan. He is the first beauty in the harem, she is the first talented woman in the court, and when they are together, they are like two beautiful and fragrant flowers, exuding an alluring fragrance. This beautiful and talented woman was the emperor's favored concubine, and although he knew that he should not and could not provoke her, he still could not control his emotions.
Until a conflict broke out between the emperor and Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan took the initiative to ask to be deposed and leave the palace. What is she doing in the palace?Yunli seized this rare opportunity, and after careful consideration, she finally moved Zhen Huan with sincere emotions and won the person she longed to have in the world.
They reached a lifelong agreement that as long as the mission given by the emperor was completed, Yunli would try to take Zhen Huan away and fly farther. Unexpectedly, Yunli was framed and almost died in the Yellow River. After surviving death, he returned, only to learn that Zhen Huan was pregnant with a dragonborn and was ready to return to the palace.
His heart was full of sadness and helplessness, and he could only helplessly watch his beloved return to the emperor's arms. During this year, he has been pampered in the harem, but he has also suffered torture and pain because of it. When he unexpectedly discovered that the twins born by Zhen Huan were his own children, he finally understood the real reason why Zhen Huan decided to return to the palace. In the harem, her love for her two children has reached the peak, but she doesn't know that both children are her own sons. Therefore, he was determined to protect him and his mother with all his heart, even if it meant losing his life.
Later, when he learned that the emperor planned to send Zhen Huan to Dzungaria for marriage, although he understood that this might be a trap carefully arranged by the emperor, he still decided to lead the army to pursue, just to avoid the risk of losing their mother to their children.
Although this act aroused the emperor's deeper doubts and indignation, he did not complain, and was even willing to go to the frontier to garrison, even if it meant that he might lose contact with his relatives forever.
Subsequently, after the emperor found out that he wrote "Xi Guifei An" on each family letter, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and felt murderous.
In order to maintain his reputation, the emperor ordered Zhen Huan to poison Yunli with his own hands. Yunli knows that only by voluntarily taking poison can Zhen Huan get rid of her doubts, live a stable life, and ensure the lifelong health of herself and Zhen Huan's children.
Therefore, in the last moments of Yunli's life, he made a special mention of Hongyi and told him: "That child looks very similar to you, you have your own child, you should live it well." "What he really wants to express is that I'm no longer here, Huan'er, you have to take good care of yourself and our children.
On the surface, King Guojun committed suicide by poisoning himself on Tonghuatai, which was for the deep affection between him and Zhen Huan, but it also reflected his deep fatherly love. King Guojun used his life to ensure the safety and identity of Zhen Huan and the children.
As the saying goes, Yunli showed his feelings to Zhen Huan in the later stage, regardless of the time and occasion, which was simply self-defeating and harming others and himself. However, love can sometimes make people lose their minds and become blind. What's more, he already knew the identity of the twins, which filled his heart with concern. Although others may not be able to understand it, his Huan'er must understand him.
