I have never heard of a man planning to celebrate a woman's wedding. Li Qingyi could tell that her father really loved Yu Miao to the core.
"So what if you don't agree? Your father is very stubborn. Even ten cows can't take back what he decides."
Princess Yuanheng sighed deeply. She felt sorry for Yu Miao and Li Zhi and cried all night, but it was no use. God would never take someone away if he wanted to.
The first night when the two got married.
Princess Yuanheng came to Yu Mansion to accompany Yu Miao. Dark rain clouds towered like mountains and were as heavy as a huge stone, weighing on everyone's hearts.
The red lanterns under the eaves were swaying in the wind, and the wedding silk hanging under the window lattice and pillars also flew around and whirred. Big raindrops fell like beads, hitting the bluestone ground with a crackling sound.
Yu Miao finally died.
The old doctor sighed, took away the silver needle, and motioned for them to come forward to say their final farewells.
The person on the bed seemed unable to open his eyes, only tears slipped out of them and flowed into his temples, "Dad, grandma..."
"Miao'er, mother is here!"
Weng's hands holding the handkerchief were shaking violently, and she suppressed her cries.
Mr. Yu's eyes turned red and he couldn't help but turn away.
Yu Miao took a few quick breaths, then took a breath and seemed to be much more energetic.
She slowly opened her eyes, and her scattered gaze gradually focused on her relatives beside the bed.
Weng quickly asked someone to bring him the rich ginseng soup, but Yu Miao turned her head to the side, her chest rose and fell slightly, and she moved her lips to indicate that she had something to say. .c
Several people saw that her face was covered with a bit too much blood, and knowing that this was her last moment, they suppressed their sorrow and waited quietly for her to speak.
Yu Miao moved her eyes and finally landed on Princess Yuan Heng, "Ah... Heng..."
"Miao'er..." Princess Yuanheng's throat was sore and uncomfortable. She tried her best to suppress the sadness that came out of her bones. She grabbed the hand of the person on the couch and choked: "Miao'er! I'm here..."
Yu Miao said with difficulty: "A Heng...you, marry me..."
Princess Yuanheng held the other party's hand and trembled: "What..."
Yu Miao's words were like a thunderbolt hitting her heavenly spirit cap, and an indescribable embarrassment surged into her heart.
Yu Miao's voice was low and soft as she said, "I know your intentions...but I am selfish. If I...were in good health, I would never let him go to you. But now...I am leaving." Now, can you...take care of him for me for the rest of his life?"
Princess Yuanheng looked blankly at the bloodless and lifeless face, her mind was buzzing, and she felt ashamed, as if something ugly had come out of her body and sprouted on top of her head, and everyone had seen it. A transparent one.
Yu Miao looked at her carefully and said, "A Heng... you, promise me!"
Princess Yuanheng shook her head, shaking her head desperately, tears welling up from her eyes quickly: "No, Miao'er, I can't..."
"Ah...Heng, cough...cough cough..." Yu Miao's breathing was rapid, causing a violent cough.
Weng rushed to her: "Miao'er, don't be anxious! Don't be anxious!"
Yu Miao was coughing and speechless, staring straight at Princess Yuanheng, as if she would die in peace if she didn't agree.
Princess Yuanheng bit her lip, feeling a sweet smell flowing into her mouth, and finally nodded.
Yu Miao tried her best to smile: "Okay... okay..."
After saying this, she let out a long breath and became silent again.
"Miao'er!"
Weng suddenly burst into sharp cries, which made Princess Yuanheng's brain numb.
She stood up suddenly and rushed out of the house as if to escape, only to see Li Zhi standing at the door like a clay statue.
She paused for a moment and plunged into the heavy rain. The maid tried hard to catch up behind her and hold an umbrella for her, but it was in vain.
She was drenched by the rain, and her long black hair had fallen down, clinging wetly to her body. It was as if the invisible pressure had taken on a physical form, suppressing her in unspeakable emotions.
There was only the sound of heavy rain pouring in her ears. She ran to a deserted corner, closed the door tightly, slid down beside the door and cried bitterly.
Yu Miao is dead.
Bai Ling rolled up and down in the wind, and the entire Yu Mansion was in a state of tragedy.
Princess Yuanheng stood alone under the corridor, her eyes blank, looking straight at the dark coffin not far away, as if there was a hidden thread that tightly trapped her.
She raised her hands to cover her face, trying to get rid of this feeling.
When she let go of her sight again, her blurry eyes passed through the white silk flying between the eaves of the corridor. It was the white-robed and black-haired Li Zhi, standing alone in the bleak colors.
He looked at her, his eyes had lost their previous look.
This kind of gaze made Princess Yuanheng feel creepy.
She thought that Yu Miao's death would become a bloody wound in his heart that would never heal. It would continue to fester and follow him forever, until he himself had no bones left.
"Did mother marry father because of Yu Miao's last words?"
Princess Yuanheng shook her head, "No one mentioned what Yu Miao said before she died, because it was too ridiculous. Although I have a deep love for your father, I don't want to be with him in this way, probably because of my pride. Your father never mentioned this matter. From the beginning to the end, your grandparents did not know that I had this past with your father. And Uncle Yu and the others, because of their relationship with the Queen Mother, would not spread the word about me. .”
Li Qingyi was a little confused, "Then how did mother and father get married?"
"After Yu Miao died, I never went to the Yu family again, and I never mentioned your father to anyone. It wasn't until a year later that your grandfather spoke for the Zhenbei Palace and was angrily reprimanded by the emperor."
Everyone said that the Li family was finished and would have to be dealt with with the Zhenbei Palace. Princess Yuanheng panicked.
She thought about it all night, went to the Queen Mother, and said that she fell in love with Li Zhi at first sight and would not marry him unless she was there. She asked the Queen Mother to intercede for the Li family in front of the emperor.
The Queen Mother refused to agree at first, but could not stand her teasing and teasing, and finally agreed to try to intercede with the Emperor.
"The result is good. Your Majesty just asked the Li family to withdraw from the court without any judgment. The Queen Mother feels sorry for me and exchanged this favor for my marriage to your father. Your father has no objection."
Li Qingyi frowned when he heard this. It turned out that there was such a thing in between when the Li family left the capital for Yangzhou. But if that was the case, why did the emperor leave a token to the Li family?
Could it be that the Emperor and the Li family have some secrets themselves, and they just took advantage of the situation by relying on the Queen Mother to intercede?
Princess Yuanheng didn't know what Li Qingyi was thinking, so she continued: "After we got married, your father did not neglect me. On the contrary, he respected me very much. In the eyes of outsiders, we treated each other with respect and treated each other as equals, which was the best thing. But I You know, in your father's eyes, I am just a "wife". If it were anyone else who was his wife, he would do the same. "
