Chapter 83 Revisiting the Past
Prince Jing's Mansion
Yuxi looked haggard, kneeling with heavy knees in the ancestral hall, holding a piece of fine silk cloth tightly in her hand, gently but in vain wiping a tablet that was as smooth as new.
Her eyes were red and tears were shining, and she whispered, "Miss, I'm sorry, I may not be able to fulfill your last wish. Your Highness... Your Highness likes..." She found it difficult to say the word "man".
In recent days, the rumors about His Highness have been spreading all over the capital, so how could she not know? She had mistakenly thought that His Highness had refused the marriage with the Prime Minister because he had fallen in love with someone else, but she never thought that the truth was actually like this... Alas,
In fact, various signs had already quietly revealed the deep affection that Her Highness had for Lord Yuan, but she was too slow to notice.
From purchasing a mansion next to Yuan's mansion, to donating all her money to the wedding of Master Yuan's master, to preparing breakfast every day, and even carefully selecting clothes, everything revealed His Highness's deep admiration for Master Yuan. It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that the rumors outside were true.
Murong Xuanyi followed Fang Yang into the ancestral hall, his eyes fell on the kneeling Nanny Yuxi, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart. "Nanny, why did you call me here?" He said with some trepidation in his tone.
Yuxi did not look sideways, still concentrating on wiping the tablet, her voice calm and indifferent: "Your Highness, please come forward and kowtow to your mother."
Upon hearing this, Murong Xuanyi knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times devoutly.
In the silent ancestral hall, neither of them spoke. After a long while, Nanny Yuxi picked up the tablet and spoke slowly, her eyes full of reminiscence and emotion: "That year, I was only seven years old, alone and helpless, and dying in the snow.
Your mother is like the warm sun in winter. She not only saved my life, but also taught me how to read and write, and taught me how to behave in society. She treated me like a real sister.
"Your mother was born in a Jiangnan merchant family. She was the apple of the master's eye since she was young. She was very talented and had a close relationship with a young master of the Chen family since childhood. They had already made a promise to spend the rest of their lives together.
But things did not go as planned. The current emperor encountered her by chance when he was traveling to Jiangnan. He was attracted by her beauty and family wealth. He issued an imperial edict to force her into the harem.
"Faced with the imperial decree, the young lady had no choice but to tearfully give up her old love and enter the deep palace in order to protect her family. When the young master of the Chen family found out, he was so disheartened that he threw himself into the West Lake and died for his love. He rests forever by the West Lake, where he and the young lady had made a vow of eternal love."
"The young lady bears the heavy responsibility of the family's survival. Even though she is heartbroken, she dare not talk about life and death lightly. In the depth and loneliness of the palace, she is like a walking corpse, enduring endless torment day after day."
"Once the emperor raped her after getting drunk, and her world seemed to collapse completely. She wanted to die. It was not until she met you that she felt that living was not so difficult. It was you who made her feel the meaning and value of life again."
Murong Xuanyi felt a pain in his heart when he heard this. Since childhood, he knew that his mother had no love for his father, and did not allow him to call her mother. He thought it was just because his mother was not favored by his father, but he never thought that there was such a deep sorrow hidden behind it.
Xixi continued, "In this harem, the birth of every prince is accompanied by endless crises and challenges, and those who survive are destined to survive. You have been weak and sick since childhood, and the young lady couldn't sleep at night because of this, and searched for famous doctors all over the world, just to protect you."
"In order to protect you from harm in this deep palace full of undercurrents, she had to learn to compete for favor and flatter a man she did not love. Everything she did was for you to survive in this cold and ruthless palace.
However, how could the emperor do what she wanted? She only received cold stares every time. It was not until the young lady made friends with Princess Dunchun that she could live a peaceful life with her protection. That’s why you were able to go to the military camp and make achievements later.”
"You have lived up to everyone's expectations. You have made many great achievements in the military palace, and your reputation has spread far and wide. But you have forgotten that being born in an imperial family, every step of your success is like dancing on the edge of a knife, which makes people envy, jealous, and even fearful.
Especially since your grandfather's family is so rich that it rivals a country, you have become the target of public criticism. The heart of the emperor is complicated and unpredictable. He wants you to be strong and become his right-hand man, but he is also afraid that you will be too strong and threaten his position. The only way he can feel at ease is to cut off your support."
"Does he think that by attacking the Yao family, he can bring all of the Yao family's merchants all over the world into his treasury? Dream on! The Yao family's Chamber of Commerce has a far-reaching influence that spreads across the world. What he controls is just a part of it.
Now, I will give you all of this. With all of this in the Yao family, even if you don't become the prince, you will be able to live a worry-free life for many lifetimes. You must take good care of it. This is not only the current foundation of the Yao family, but also the hard work of the Yao family's ancestors and generations. "
Yuxi patted the account books in the dozen large wooden boxes behind her and gave heavy instructions.
Murong Xuanyi did not notice anything unusual about Yuxi.
He clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and his voice was trembling slightly. He asked in a deep voice: "So, my mother didn't die of illness, right? My grandfather didn't do anything to sell out his country for personal gain, right?"
Murong Xuanyi finally couldn't suppress the grief in his heart, tears flowed like a spring, he cried like a helpless child, he choked and confided:
"My only wish was that my mother could be honored because of me, and that I could be her solid support. I never expected that my efforts and achievements would become the direct cause of her death."
"I have never coveted the supreme throne. I just hope that he can see my talent, give me the recognition I deserve, and accept my mother. Why? Why do you treat me like this?"
"All these troubles are no longer important. The only wish of the lady is that you can be safe, have a family, and live a simple and happy life. If it weren't for the lady's deep love and trust, I would have followed her long ago. She asked me to watch you get married and have children on her behalf."
"However, you fell in love with... this man. Sigh... Never mind. If the young lady is still alive, she will definitely not blame you. I just hope that you can live a good life for the rest of your life." After saying that, she gently raised her hand and gently stroked his face, her eyes full of reluctance and guilt, "Let me take a good look at you on behalf of the young lady. I failed the young lady's high hopes and failed to fulfill her entrustment."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took out the dagger hidden in her sleeve, determined to die to apologize for her crime. Seeing this, Murong Xuanyi quickly blocked her dagger with his hand: "Mammy, you must not do this! Ah..."
"Your Highness... Your Highness... How are you?" Seeing Murong Xuanyi's bloody arm, Yuxi felt heartbroken, tears welled up in her eyes, and she called out with a trembling voice.
Murong Xuanyi endured the pain and said, "Mammy, I'm fine. Why are you so stupid? Why don't you ask what happened? My mother wants me to live well, and she also wants you to live well."
Yuxi quickly called the court doctor to bandage Murong Xuanyi's shocking wound. She looked at Murong Xuanyi, who she had watched grow up, and felt heartbroken: "Your Highness, why are you doing this?"
Murong Xuanyi said to his mother's tablet: "Mother, I will live up to your expectations, marry a good man, and have children. At the same time, I swear to seek justice for you, clear the grievances of my grandfather's family, and let the truth come to light."
He stared at Yuxi, his tone revealing a bit of heaviness: "Mammy, Xiaoying is a girl." He had thought about protecting her identity before, so he didn't dare to tell Yuxi. He never expected that she would act like this, catching him off guard.
After hearing this, Yuxi froze in place, as if time had stopped. It took her a while to find her voice again: "Your Highness, are you saying that Yuan Ying...is not a man?"
Murong Xuanyi nodded slightly, his eyes revealing an indescribable tenderness and relief.
"Miss, did you hear me clearly? His Highness is not a homosexual as the world misunderstands. He is attracted to a real woman. I have always misunderstood him."
Yuxi was so excited that she could hardly control herself. Her knees went weak and she fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face like a spring. They were tears of joy and relief.
Seeing this, Murong Xuanyi hurried forward to help Yuxi up, and whispered softly: "Mammy, don't be so impulsive in the future. We have to be fine. We will settle the accounts later. Don't worry."
After saying this, a hint of determination and ruthlessness flashed in Murong Xuanyi's eyes.
