Chapter 582: From Now On, This Heart Turns Cold
pped attacking, and then pulled out a pouch of medicine from her waist and threw it to Feng Ming.Feng Ming raised an eyebrow, instantly realizing what An Xue Tang was trying to do. He took the medicin...An Xuetang in the courtyard looked at the flowers and then at Mo Yunchen, then silently left with Fu Shou Kang Ning.
Little Red didn't follow the flowers into the courtyard either. She stayed by Ning and the others, standing just outside the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Mo Yunchen looked at the familiar flowers and spoke first, "Miss...haven't we met before"
"!"
Mo Yunchen's first words instantly made Hua Duo'er's body stiffen even more. She smiled bitterly in her heart, "A thought to forget you, and my heart becomes cold."
Self-absorbed… It turns out she's like this. She perfectly illustrates what this word truly means.
Mo Yunchen saw that she didn't reply, his brow furrowed as he walked two steps towards Huaduoer, "Miss, what's wrong Are you feeling unwell"
Flowers came back to her senses, and in the next instant, a smile appeared on her face. She said nonchalantly:
"My Lord Chen, you are indeed a man of high status, easily forgetting old friends. At least during our time in Lan Guo, we were together for several months. Could you have forgotten me so quickly"
At the sound of these three words, "Chen Gongzi," coupled with the mention of Lan Guo, and added to that familiar face, Mo Yunchen instantly remembered.
His eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you Duo'er"
The little flower smiled, her expression very calm as she spoke, "Young Master Chen finally remembers, Duer almost thought Young Master Chen probably even forgot Duer's name."
"Duo'er, don't tease me. But you... how did you end up here Didn't you..."
Not knowing what came over him, Mo Yunchen swallowed the words that were about to leave his lips. He simply turned his body slightly, "Duo'er, please come in."
The little flower didn't refuse. In her heart, she had always thought of the two of them as childhood friends.
So there's nothing awkward about it right now!
At this moment, five women were standing in the corner of the yard outside. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were being punished by standing there.
A few people didn't know what to think, and no one spoke.
Until Xiaohong couldn't hold it in any longer, she looked at An Xuetang with red eyes and choked out, "Princess of Beijang, you... You tell me, is there still a possibility for our young lady and the Crown Prince I've been by her side for so many years, I know too well how much she likes him. But our young lady... Does she... still have a chance with the Crown Prince"
An Xuetang narrowed her eyes. She naturally knew what Xiaohong meant by that. She remained silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the girls beside her, "This way, I'll tell you a story."
"Long, long ago, there was a woman whose story was particularly legendary. This woman was a second wife. What does that mean Simply put, she had been married twice."
This woman's name is Hailanju. Don't look at her being a remarried woman, after she entered the palace, she was favored day and night by the emperor and became the most honored among all the concubines. Her title was also unique.
"Actually, the mystery surrounding Hailan's origin is quite unsolvable. Because there's no information about her before she was 26 years old, of course, everything about her is likely something that the emperor at the time intentionally deleted."
But think about it, in this world, women usually get married when they are in their teens. As for Hai Lan Zhu, she is the daughter of a Mongolian noble family. With her status, it's impossible for her to marry late. So saying she's a second marriage probably understates it.
But when she was 26, she was still able to marry the reigning emperor. Logically speaking, an emperor like him must have seen all kinds of women But this older woman, for some unknown reason, had a charm that truly captivated the emperor at the time.
Later, Hailanzhu moved into the Guanju Palace and was bestowed the title of Chen Fei, ranking second among the five palaces. At that time, Hailanzhu was at the pinnacle of power in the harem. She was frequently favored by the emperor and gave birth to the eighth prince. Moreover, the emperor intended to pass the throne to the eighth prince. Sadly, the eighth prince had a weak fortune and died before he turned one year old.
The death of her son deeply devastated Hai Lan Zhu. Coupled with her naturally melancholic disposition, she fell seriously ill and soon passed away in Guanju Palace. Upon hearing the news, the Emperor rushed back from the battlefield. Overwhelmed by grief at seeing her lifeless body, he fainted several times from crying.
Later, the emperor ordered her to be buried with great honor, and two years after Hailanzhu's death, the emperor also passed away.
When the story ended, An Xuetang noticed that Xiao Hong was sobbing, while Fu Shou Ning’s appearance seemed unaffected, but her eyes were slightly red.
At this time, Xiao Hong sighed and said, "There is such love in the world, it's so touching."
An Xuetang smiled helplessly, "I'm not telling you this story to make you shed tears. I just want to tell you that a woman, no matter what she has gone through, as long as she meets the right person, as long as she meets someone who is willing to tolerate her and pamper her, she will find happiness."
"Xiaohong, did you find the answer to your question from this story"
Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment, then asked foolishly, "So will our young mistress become the second Hailanju"
"!"
"An Xuetang shook her head helplessly at their train of thought, then smiled, "Your young mistress will be happier than Hailan Zhu, as long as she makes the right choice."
The happiness of being with an ordinary person is much greater than that of being a concubine in the palace. As long as Huahua chooses the right path, she can have a lifetime with her beloved and achieve the happiness she desires.
But if she insists on choosing to enter the palace as a spy for Mo Yunchen, then she will never find happiness in this life.
An Xuetang didn't know if Xiaohong had understood what she said. She didn't say anything more now, and after a while, Huaduo came out. When she came out, she had a smile on her face and bid farewell to Mo Yunchen who was standing at the door.
The bitterness in her smile was only visible to An Xue Tang. At this time, An Xue Tang looked at Ning'er, "Ning'er Kang'er, you two take the Crown Prince to prepare for the surgery."
"Okay."
After the prince was brought into the 'sterile room' that An Xuetang had cleaned up, Huaduoer's smile gradually stiffened until it disappeared entirely.
Her dim eyes were fixed on the sterile room door, no one knew what she was thinking. An Xuetang pursed her lips and stood silently beside her, not asking her what she had talked about with Mo Yunchen.
Looking at the flowers like this, An Xuetang's mind suddenly flashed a line of poetry: "Jade face lonely tears linger, pear blossom one branch spring brings rain."
She thought, perhaps the flowers now had given up hope.
After a moment, Huāduǒ came to her senses. She turned to An Xuetang and smiled, "tāng, I'm going back to my room first."
An Xuetang reached out and pinched her face, "Good, wait for me to have dinner with you tonight."
Huāduǒr pursed her lips and smiled, "I knew you'd just be thinking about eating. Alright, go inside and get ready. I can't help anyway, so I won't stay here."
"Hmm."
Back in the courtyard, Huāduǒ looked at Xiǎohóng, "Go pack your things, we're leaving Beijāng王府."
Xiaohong's heart skipped a beat, "Miss, you... what are you saying"the help of the Princess Consort of Beijang and others, I don't know what kind of sorcery she used, but Prince Ca'er's several tens of thousands of soldiers have greatly increased in morale."They seem...
