She was originally a maid in the Han Palace. She was selected by Empress Lu and sent to the Kingdom of Dai. She was originally intended to be an informant.
But unexpectedly, Dou Yifang, who was born in a peasant family, fell in love with Liu Heng, the then acting king.
Not only did she not help Empress Lu monitor Liu Heng, but she shared joys and sorrows with him, and gave birth to two sons and one daughter for him.
Although Liu Heng was the acting king at that time, he was deeply jealous of Empress Lu.
The situation at that time can be said to be extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, everything will be lost.
But even so, when she thinks about it now, she still feels that her life at that time was really enjoyable.
On the contrary, after Liu Heng became the emperor, on the one hand he was busy with political affairs all day long, and on the other hand, there were more and more women around the emperor.
The little affection that the young couple had accumulated was worn away bit by bit over time.
Especially after she became blind, the emperor hardly touched her for a long time.
Thinking of the days after she became blind, she didn't even know how she survived.
In the huge palace, almost every woman wanted to sit in her seat.
Although she was a queen, she was nothing more than a pitiful woman after losing the emperor's favor.
The son is honored as the prince, but he cannot enter the palace every day. The daughter is honored as the eldest princess, but she cannot accompany her all the time.
After all, she had to live her own life. In order to save her life in the palace, she locked herself in the Jiaofang Palace every day.
No matter it is day or night, it is actually the same to her. Without her eyes, the whole world is dark.
The way she distinguishes day from night is with her ears.
During the day, she sat in front of the window and listened attentively, listening to the murmurs of the maids talking outside.
Whenever the maids and concubines came to see her, she always acted as if nothing had happened.
She couldn't have anything happen to her, and she couldn't lose her position as queen, because the same goes for mother and son.
She was guarding the position of queen for her son, and she was also guarding a possibility for their mother and son's future.
Only at night, after driving out all the maids and eunuchs, could she take off her disguise.
She couldn't see anymore and she didn't even dare to cry loudly.
After so many years, her tears have long since dried up.
At first, she was sad for Liu Heng's ruthlessness, then she was afraid that she would not be able to keep her position as queen, and at the end, she no longer knew why she was crying.
Late at night, I suddenly dreamed about teenage things, and I cried and cried, my makeup was red and my eyes were full of tears...
After so many torturous nights, everything is finally over.
Liu Heng was gone, and her suffering seemed to be over, but at this moment, she couldn't be happy at all...
Sitting silently in front of the window, listening to the sound of the north wind blowing the fallen leaves outside, Queen Dou felt empty in her heart, as if the whole world had been hollowed out.
Once upon a time, this was the best ending in her dream, but when it all came true, she found that her years of resentment had long since disappeared...
The emperor went, and the women in the entire harem were all dumbfounded.
Especially the most popular Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Shen. Liu Heng directly left a will and asked them to be buried in the imperial mausoleum...
No one understood why the emperor issued such an order. Only Queen Dou knew that this was Liu Heng's last apology to her.
From now on, she is free, no longer has to be cautious, no longer has to worry about every step, even though she has lost a pair of eyes, she has also lost thirty years of her life...
The sky slowly darkened, and the flying snow covered the entire city of Chang'an.
It seemed that even God was sending farewell to this great emperor who supported the great man in trouble.
"Let's go, take me to see your grandmother..."
The moment he fumbled open the palace door again, Dou Yifang's back straightened.
"Mom, it's snowing, and your clothes are thin, so you'd better put on this fur!"
"No need, I've become accustomed to it after so many years..."
yes!
I have long been used to it. In order to survive in this palace, what does the mere cold wind mean?
Liu Piao suddenly realized that he didn't seem to recognize the mother in front of him...
"What are you waiting for? Don't let people say that the Liu family doesn't understand the rules!"
After walking more than ten steps, Dou Yifang stopped again, turned his head and said to Liu Piao behind him.
"coming!"
Only then did Liu Piao react and hurriedly chased after her. He stepped forward to support his mother and walked all the way towards Changle Palace.
The emperor is gone, but no one dares to inform Empress Dowager Bo now.
Now, this matter can only be done by her daughter-in-law.
Empress Dowager Bo is now over seventy years old. Except for growing flowers and grass in Changle Palace, she almost never steps out of the palace.
She devoted almost her whole life to her son, and worked hard in her early years to keep her son alive.
Almost bearing the humiliation, she saved Liu Heng's life. In order to help Liu Heng escape from Chang'an City safely, she gave all her life savings to the female officials around Empress Lu.
After arriving in Dai Kingdom, she carefully taught Liu Heng to love the people like a son, taught him to recruit talents, and taught him to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. She did almost everything a mother could do to the extreme.
After Liu Heng ascended the throne, in order not to embarrass her son, she locked herself in Changle Palace and rarely showed up.
She was extremely strict with the relatives of the Bo family and rarely allowed them to come to the emperor.
Just such an old man, now he has to face the pain of losing his son in old age...
Until the end of his life, Liu Heng did not want his mother to watch his son die in front of her. He could be considered a hero, but he only failed two women.
Before he died, he took away all the women in the palace that Dou Yi didn't like the most, and gave her a quiet palace as his apology.
However, from beginning to end, he could not think of anything to repay his mother. The only thing he could do was to prevent his mother from watching her son die...
It was surprisingly quiet in Changle Palace tonight, and all the maids and eunuchs did not even dare to breathe loudly.
She was afraid of making some noise and reminding the most noble woman in the Han Dynasty of some bad guesses.
"Empress, the Queen and the eldest princess are here!"
Ling'er, Queen Mother Bo's personal maid, whispered in Queen Mother Bo's ear.
"Let her go back, just say that I know her purpose..."
Queen Mother Bo's voice was as calm as ever.
"Empress..."
Of course Ling'er knew the queen's intention, but she didn't know how to answer it at the moment.
"I know that you are all afraid that I, an old woman, will hear the news that my son is gone, but he is unwilling to tell me before he dies. I know that he is afraid that I will be sad, but can you not be sad if you don't see him... .”
Queen Mother Bo's voice was calm and her face was full of smiles, but tears kept flowing down.
Zhizi Mo Ruomu......
"Since he thinks so, I will follow his wishes and let them bring me the pillow that Heng'er slept on at night. I will not go into other matters and let them figure it out. ....."
After Queen Mother Bo finished speaking, she stood up silently. It was snowing, and she didn't know whether the nest of chicks on the old tree in Xiyuan might survive this winter...
