Sister, you traveled through time too?
Chapter 145 Chess
Hai Yi was imprisoned and scheduled to be executed in the autumn.
The Hai family was also stripped of their titles and squeezed out of the eight great families.
The Hai family, who had inherited the title for generations, suffered a heavy blow and had no chance of recovery.
On that day, the censors who took advantage of the situation began to impeach the queen.
Between the lines it is said that the daughter of the Hai family is not worthy of being the queen.
There was panic in Jingren Palace.
Most of the servants and maids in Haiwan Palace tried their best and spent a lot of money to transfer away.
For a while, Jingren Palace looked extremely desolate.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, cheer up! The master must have been possessed by a ghost. Our Hai family is still here, don't panic."
Hai Wan's two maids who came with her as a dowry wiped their tears and kept comforting her.
Hai Wan just sat at the desk, not saying a word, just remaining silent.
Her tears kept falling, flowing silently.
She could not imagine that her brother, who was gentle, polite and known as a gentleman, would do such a thing.
Her brother treated her so well, she didn't believe he would do those things.
He embezzled public funds, pocketed military pay, harmed the people, and forced women of good families into prostitution.
All the charges fell on my brother.
How could she believe it?
But the evidence was overwhelming and my brother didn't even bother to refute it.
The image of her gentle and omnipotent brother collapsed at this moment.
The family she relied on was also stripped of their titles, and was even labeled as a traitor and a traitor. Now everyone wants to kill them.
The Hai family is no longer the so-called noble family.
She had also heard that the Hai family's daughter was not worthy of being the queen.
Yes, how can she have the face to continue being the queen?
He has no children, is unworthy of his position, and doesn't even have a strong family to support him.
My brother will die, the Hai family will fall, and the guilty minister will be exiled.
What about her?
She will also be banished to the cold palace.
She suddenly remembered the emperor's abnormal questions last night.
The emperor asked himself if he would hate him.
She didn't understand then, but she does now.
The family was destroyed, and the brother was executed. This is a revenge for the extermination of the entire family. How can I not hate it?
But Hai Wan couldn't hate him.
She was a lady brought up in a noble family. The Hai family took good care of her. She knew the general situation, when to advance and when to retreat, and what was right and wrong.
Hai Wan was in agony at this moment. She wished she was a shrew or a crazy woman, but she was not.
How she wished that the Hai family had not raised her to be so obedient and gentle, and to have such a clear sense of right and wrong.
It is precisely because she knows right from wrong, knows when to advance and retreat, and has a sense of the overall situation that she cannot hate the emperor.
She knew that her brother had made a big mistake, and the Hai family had made a big mistake. It was all their own fault and they could not blame anyone else.
They should hate those cruelly murdered people, those innocent souls who died in vain, and those lonely and pitiful women who were forced into prostitution.
You should hate the Hai family, hate your brother, and hate her.
It was hard for her to imagine that while so many women were forced to become prostitutes, she was comfortably being her own queen.
Those women should hate her.
She felt pain in her heart, wondering why she had to think about others even though her family was broken up.
But she couldn't help thinking about it.
Whenever she thought of the many people killed by the Hai family, she felt as if thousands of eyes were staring at her.
Staring at himself with hatred in his eyes.
The emperor was afraid that she hated him, but she couldn't hate him, and even began to hate herself.
If she had known about her brother's mistakes earlier, would she still have a chance to start over and atone for her sins?
She looked out the window, watching everyone in Jingren Palace in danger, watching the two maids who had accompanied her for many years weeping.
She was in great pain.
"If you don't want to do anything, what do you want to do?"
The emperor's words at night echoed in her ears. She could not express the pain in her heart, so she just shook her head and cried silently.
How is it possible to not think about anything?
Now that the Hai family is in decline and her brother is about to die, how could she just watch and not think about anything?
Wandering around the world, what a beautiful yet empty dream.
She has never been able to achieve this in her lifetime.
Since birth, she was trained as the future queen. Over the years, she studied music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as rules and etiquette.
When the emperor ascended the throne, she naturally became the queen. For many years, she was self-disciplined and observed etiquette, managing the six palaces.
She shoulders the family's mission and glory, and she has always known that she is the family's chess piece, a chess piece that represents face.
She worked hard without complaint because she understood that everything she had was given by her family.
Now that the building has collapsed, she also understands what will become of her.
This position of queen is definitely not something that can be expected.
She couldn't ask the emperor for help, nor could she ask anyone else for help, because she represented the character of the Hai family.
She also cannot be banished to the cold palace, which would bring shame to the Hai family.
She also couldn't wander around because she had to stay with the Hai family. If she ran away, the Hai family would become a laughing stock.
She lived for the Hai family, never for herself, and never could.
Hai Wan wiped away her tears, controlled her sobs, picked up the pen and ink, and wrote a confession of guilt on the paper.
She had to give up her position as queen herself and leave on her own, go to the holy temple to pray for blessings, and spend the rest of her life with the ancient Buddhas and green lamps.
This is the most decent and best way.
She could only rise and fall together with the Hai family. Even though the emperor's words that night made her greedy, she had to suppress it.
She said she wanted to travel around the world, and the emperor said that was great, very good.
Even if the emperor would allow her to leave and let her realize her dream, she could not leave.
She has never been free and has always been a pawn in the hands of others.
But even though she always knew that she was a chess piece, she had no regrets and didn't care even if she was trapped for half her life.
She is the eldest daughter, the pearl of the Hai family, loved by her parents and treated well by her brother.
Those inseparable family ties and bonds are enough to make her willingly play chess step by step.
It’s just that this life is so boring. I have never been able to live for myself.
After writing the confession of guilt, Hai Wan sat down on the chair weakly.
Closing her eyes, she seemed to see her childhood.
"Brother, brother, is the grassland really beautiful? Are there really snow-capped mountains that never melt all year round?"
"Brother, is the desert really full of yellow sand? Is it very hot there? How can people live without water?"
"Brother, I want to see them all when I grow up!"
Hai Wan recalled the time when she sneaked into her brother's study to read books as a child. She asked her brother a lot of questions.
"Xiao Wan, be good and read your own books. These are all fake."
"What's so good about the outside world? Father and brother will give our Xiaowan the best."
"Xiao Wan is so well behaved, she should be the most noble woman in the world~"
"By then, Xiao Wan will have endless skirts to wear and endless hairpins to wear, dear."
She only remembered her brother holding her in his arms, coaxing her gently and talking to her.
Later, as she grew up, although she still often sneaked a peek at her brother's books, she never again said she wanted to see them with her own eyes.
As she grew up, she understood her mission and also realized that she would have a good future given by her family.
What a great future! All women in the world want him.
Everyone is trying their best to fight for it.
My father and brother were able to easily give me the bright future that everyone in the world wants.
Everyone said this was a good future, but no one asked her if she wanted it.
But she never had a choice, and even now, she still has no choice.
"Go and present the edict of apology to the emperor."
She just pressed the Phoenix Seal on the Repentance Edict and then handed it over along with the Phoenix Seal.
She felt liberated at that moment, but after the liberation came deeper shackles.
For the first time, she saw through her boring life so clearly and accurately.
