Leng Xiao feels that Concubine Hui is the sober person in the world. She always knows what she only wants and what she doesn't want.
The queen turned pale and asked unwillingly: "You have never loved him? Not at all?"
Concubine Hui was silent for a long time, and a look of pain gradually appeared in her eyes. The queen felt that she had seen through her, and immediately said: "You have it, right?"
Concubine Hui said quietly: "I loved a man, very much, but unfortunately he died. When he died, my heart also died. When the news of his sacrifice reached my ears, I thought It’s to die with him.”
"But I didn't die. In the mourning hall, the emperor, who was still a prince at the time, fell in love with me and took care of me in every possible way. How easy is it to wish for death? Survival is difficult. I have a daughter to raise and a family to take care of, so I just After thinking about it for one night, I made my decision.”
"It's a pity that even though he gave Qinglan the title of princess and even pampered her as if he were his own, and he was unspeakably kind to me, he never really cared about my family. I had to plan for them. , if I only care about my own glory and wealth, I don’t need to do anything, and I can be favored for the rest of my life. But people can’t just care about themselves. In life, as long as there are relatives, there will be ties. I have seen wealth that is overwhelming. I hope they can all enjoy it, but none of them can live up to the expectations.”
At this point, Concubine Hui's eyes became filled with anger.
"Qinglan doesn't live up to expectations and has to pester your son. My father and brother don't live up to expectations. They don't seek advancement and just want to make money through me selling my official position. Their repeated mistakes have made the emperor ignore me several times. In order to wipe their butts, I have to I didn’t force myself to take medication to get pregnant, hoping that I could continue to do favors for them, and in the end, I got myself killed.”
She burst out laughing, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. She couldn't tell whether it was sadness or ferociousness, but there was a terrifying coldness on her face.
The queen didn't know why, but she also laughed, and she also cried, "In this palace, no one is doing it for themselves. If I weren't doing it for my son and my family, I wouldn't be so forbearing. "
She turned around and walked out silently.
Leng Xiao also followed, but Concubine Hui called out, "Princess!"
Leng Xiao turned around and looked at her.
Concubine Hui also looked at her and twitched the corners of her withered lips, "Do you believe it or not? I don't hate you at all."
Leng Xiao was silent. She had hurt Nangong Qinglan. As a mother, how could she not hate her?
When they met in the palace for the first time, they were tense.
"If I have hated you before, it was before, but after what you did, I don't hate you anymore," Concubine Hui continued, with a glimmer of light in her eyes, "My husband once told me In a word, the duty of a soldier is to protect the country and the people, and for this he will do whatever it takes. You killed Leng Zhenhuan, and everyone was afraid and jealous of you, but I admire you because you killed a man for A traitor who harmed the people, you avoided civil strife and an invasion war that would result from collusion. I admire you. If I ever targeted you, it was because of a different stance. But in this world, apart from my husband, you are my second Two people I admire the most.”
She spoke passionately and from the bottom of her heart.
Leng Xiao's heart was really complicated. She didn't expect Concubine Hui to say such words.
The emperor, the empress dowager, and even the civil and military officials, although everyone said nothing, they were thinking in their hearts, calculating what kind of crazy things she, a person who dared to kill even her father, could do.
