Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 651 The Emperor's Cheap Love

When Bai Wanwan saw the Yuwei Palace, she saw the custard buns right at the door.

When she pushed open the icy door, she smelled a strange fragrance coming towards her.

She stepped in, but Gu Sinian grabbed her arm and said, "I'll go in first, just in case there's any danger."

After walking a few steps inside, I saw an elegantly furnished inner room.

In the center stood a huge ice bed, the edge of which was carved with lotus patterns. The ice ridges reflected the light, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.

On the ice bed, there were several women lying quietly. The one in the middle was wearing gorgeous clothes and her black hair was like a waterfall.

Even with her eyes closed, the beauty between her eyebrows could not be hidden, and her whole body was covered with layers of flowers.

Bai Wanwan whispered, "Is this Queen Yuwei?"

Gu Sinian nodded, and the two of them were stunned when they saw Queen Yuwei's face.

Because this face is exactly the same as Bai Qiaoniang's, and also somewhat similar to Bai Wanwan.

Bai Wanwan took a step back in fear, but Gu Sinian hugged her and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a little bit similar."

Bai Wanwan looked at her and said:

"How could this be such a coincidence? I always feel like something is wrong.

And I think she looks a lot like my grandma..."

Gu Sinian suddenly said:

"Have you noticed that you, Aunt Bai, and Grandma Bai all look very similar.

I've wanted to tell you a long time ago that I think there was something wrong with what happened back then.

Do you think it's possible that your mother is Grandma Bai's child?"

Bai Wanwan looked at Queen Yuwei's face and said:

"It's not impossible. I've never figured out why the Zhao family has always treated my mother like this.

If my mother is not Zhao's biological daughter, then everything would make sense."

Gu Sinian nodded and said, "This matter is actually very simple. As long as we think of a way, it will naturally not be difficult to find out. Let's talk about it after we get out!"

Custard bun was shivering from the cold and crawled directly into Bai Wanwan's arms, pointing at the dressing table next to her.

The dressing table in this room was left by the former Queen Yuwei and is made of rosewood.

Bai Wanwan opened the dressing table, which was filled with jewelry. Jade, gold and silver complemented each other, and it was obvious at a glance that these were exclusive items for the queen.

Bai Wanwan saw several letters on the dressing table and said, "Brother Si Nian, here are some letters."

The two of them opened the letter directly and saw the shocking contents.

The difficult labor of Queen Yuwei was caused by Madam Ru. Madam Ru seemed to care about her and sent her various supplements every day, but in fact she wanted her to die in labor.

But Queen Yuwei had already noticed it, and she had secretly poured out all those supplements.

But she never knew that she was betrayed by the palace maids around her. Madam Ru had her tied up and fed her all kinds of supplements every day.

Emperor Taizu of Qi knew about this at the time, but he didn't take it to heart.

By the time she gave birth, Queen Yuwei had already become as fat as a ball, but she still gave birth to the child. On the day of her birth, the palace was in chaos.

Not only did Empress Yuwei give birth, but Madam Naru also gave birth on the same day.

The maidservant beside Queen Yuwei acted decisively and exchanged the child with a little boy from the Su family.

Bai Wanwan twitched her lips and said:

“It turns out that my grandmother might be a descendant of Queen Yuwei. No wonder my mother and I look so much like her.

Then Gu Sinian, are we close relatives?"

Gu Sinian tapped her little head and said, "That means our lineage isn't of royal blood, and we're not close relatives."

The content of the latter part of this letter is Empress Yuwei’s hatred for Emperor Taizu of Qi. Think about it, how could she not hate him?

Yuwei's family paid too much for Qi Taizu to become emperor, but only a few of the 106 people in the family survived.

But Emperor Taizu of Qi was not kind to her family. In the last letter written by Empress Yuwei, she wrote:

“When I married into the Eastern Palace, I thought I was marrying a beloved man, a husband with whom I could live and die.

I cooked for you, took every step carefully for you in the harem, kept that ridiculous love for you, and even put the honor and disgrace of my family behind my mind.

But what about you? All you care about is your kingdom, your power, and your checks and balances in the court."

"If Madam Ru had spread rumors in front of you, saying that my father and brother had their own troops and were powerful, you would have believed it.

She framed me and said that I was secretly contacting my in-laws, and you believed it.

I knelt before you to defend myself, but you just said that the queen should put the overall situation first.

I produced evidence to prove my innocence, but you thought I was being petty and lacked the bearing of a queen.

You defend her not because you trust her, but because her family can be used by you, and because sacrificing me is the easiest, right?"

"I was imprisoned in this ice palace for over ten years, facing the icy walls day in and day out, and only then did I figure it out.

You never loved me. I am alive as your pawn.

If I die, at worst I can be posthumously honored as a virtuous woman and a more obedient queen can be appointed."

"Do you think I'm interested in this throne? What I'm interested in is what you said under the peach tree back then: we'll be together for the rest of our lives.

But you turned around and threw those words into the wind. For your own expediency, you watched me being slandered and trampled upon, without even offering a word of defense."

"Now that I am at the end of my energy, I can finally see clearly that your heart as an emperor is as cold and thin as the floor tiles of this ice palace. It can neither be warmed nor penetrated.

I don't want you to come looking for me, nor do I want you to reminisce about the past. I only hope that when you wake up in the middle of the night, you can remember that there was a woman who spent her entire life for you, but was pushed into an icy cave by you.

"In this life, we are completely separated. Let's not meet again on the road to the underworld."

Bai Wanwan sniffed and said, "It turns out that Queen Yuwei was imprisoned here before her death. Emperor Taizu Qi and Madam Ru are going too far."

Bai Wanwan looked at Madam Ru lying on the ice bed and felt very sad. Such a woman ended up like this.

Gu Sinian sighed and said, "I didn't expect that this would be a cold palace, a cold palace built specifically for Queen Yuwei."

Bai Wanwan sneered, "So this is the emperor's cheap love."

Bai Wanwan couldn't explain the feeling in her heart. She always felt that something was being suppressed, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Such a high-and-mighty woman ended up like this. How many women like her are there in this world?

Trapped in love affairs for a lifetime, constantly exhausting yourself.

It was too cold in here. Bai Wanwan sighed and said, "Let's go up first! Otherwise they will come looking for us."

Gu Sinian took her hand and said, "Well, let's go up first. Don't move anything here for now."

As soon as they walked out, they saw the Imperial Master standing at the door, waiting for them and saying, "I didn't expect you to find your way here, Wanwan, long time no see."

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "Xiaocao, I didn't expect you to be the Imperial Master?"

Xiao Cao nodded and said, "Yes! I am the Imperial Master, protecting the peace of Qi. I used to come here often when I was a child..."
