Chapter 73 Yuan Yi (Extra)
My life has been one of ups and downs.

Before the age of ten, he was a concubine who was not valued in the Yuan Mansion.After the age of ten, he was established as the prince by the new emperor.Soon the new emperor died, and I became the emperor of this dynasty.However, within five years, I stepped down and became an ordinary person.

I originally thought that my whole life would be like this, but I didn't expect that I still have the right to have the happiness of a normal person.

Empress Dowager, no, the empress has never stopped herself from meeting the prince.

It is a pity to say that my only son is still the prince.

But my son, the prince, was raised very decently by the queen.Every time I see myself, I can call him "Father", but I can see in his clear eyes that he has no emotion for me.

Yes, it is such a shame that the prince has a lustful, weak, and traitorous father.Even I feel so.What's more, it's a child who hasn't seen him since he was a child!
During the years when the Queen was alive, I never had the face to meet her, nor did I dare to meet her.

In all fairness, the queen is really not bad to me.When I first entered the palace, I didn't understand the rules of the palace at all. It was her who patiently taught me how to salute and how to speak and eat.During the time when she was the prince, she always taught me how to write and taught me the Four Books and Five Classics word by word.There are many people in the palace, but I have never heard a gossip about my reputation.It seems that I am the prince who grew up in this palace.And she is her true mother.

Sometimes I dare not even think about how stupid I was at the time, to let down the person who treated me best for the sake of a biological father who used me.

But I did.

Fortunately, the prince brought up by the queen is not like me, but like her and Wang Xiu's real child, calm, intelligent, brave, and resourceful.

It wasn't until she died and I became the emperor's father that I had the dignity to walk around in the palace.But I always avoid the places the Queen loved to visit during her lifetime.

I am afraid.I'm afraid.Every time I recall the Queen's disappointed look on me, I will be terrified all night long.

Whenever I have insomnia, the imperial doctor will always tell my emperor's son in time.My emperor's son will also come to me in time, bring tea and water, and do everything.But I'm still unhappy.

Because I know that my son does not have me as a father in his heart.In fact, he wished that my father would die early.

But his imperial grandmother ruled the world with "benevolence and filial piety".As the most qualified emperor cultivated by the emperor's mother, he naturally inherited the thought of "benevolence and filial piety".

My emperor's son, when he faces me alone, always looks gloomy and indifferent enough to scare me.

Once, I finally had the courage to ask my emperor's son what impression I had in his mind.

I saw him frowning and pursing his lips before he said two words, "Father".

I just burst out laughing.

"what are you laughing at?"

I saw the strange and alienated eyes he cast on me, and I watched him close the door and go out, and then I sat on the edge of the bed and cried.

It is retribution.

It is indeed retribution.

I do have a son, but in his heart I am just a parasite named "Father".The meaning of this father in his heart is like a parrot or a peacock he keeps.Death or life meant nothing to him.

I also have to praise my son, he deserves to be the emperor who was taught by the empress herself, and he forcibly turned the new dynasty into a big country with a vast territory and rich products.

I think that my titular queen mother and father, Wang Xiu, will be happy if they know each other underground.

Over the years, I have watched him choose generals to fight against the Yuezhi Kingdom that was harassing the border; I have watched him choose beauties to send to Mongolia to confuse the leaders; I have watched him kill corrupt officials and monopolize power...

I watched him grow up slowly from a young child, and step by step become this frowning young emperor who will make the world feel bloody.But he has never seen a woman by his side.

I have also asked curiously, but he always seems to disdain to answer and just does his own thing without saying a word.

Now, I'm lying in bed, dying.When my emperor's son came to visit me, I dismissed all the people who served me, and still asked this question that had been puzzling me for more than ten years.

My emperor's son held my hand with rare tenderness, but still said nothing.

It wasn't until I gave up hope that he slowly uttered a few words, "No one in this world can compare to my royal grandmother."

Oh my God, I started shaking, I started freaking out.

My son, my emperor's son, actually compares all the women in the world with the queen.

"You're almost dead, it's okay to know the truth."

This is the first time I've seen him smile so relieved, as if he was letting go of something.

"I love my royal grandmother."

I heard it very clearly because he spoke every word in my ear.

It never occurred to me that my own son would have such thoughts.

"She is so courageous, so brave, and so gentle. She has everything I desire."

Seeing the emperor's nostalgic expression, my heart beat faster.I know I won't survive tonight.

I regretted why I asked, but I was happy because I knew such a shocking secret.This is the only thing that my emperor's son is pressing on his heart, and no one will know except me.

"Your greatest contribution in this life is giving birth to me. Now, your contribution has been completed, and you should go down."

It's rare for me to see my emperor's son smile so gently, and I think of the scene when I saw his mother for the first time.I was also bewitched by his mother's gentle smile.

"When you get down there, remember to tell my royal grandmother that I have fulfilled all her wishes for her. The new dynasty is the most powerful country now. No one dares to invade it, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment."

I saw him tightening his throat inch by inch, and I suddenly felt relieved, closed my eyes, and quietly waited for death to come.

My life, with its ups and downs, is really a joke.

The strength on his neck suddenly relaxed.

He looked at me and laughed loudly, "You are my father, how could I let you die? Every day you live reminds me of the royal grandmother's disappointment in you and her intentions towards me. How could I let you die?" I’m willing to let you die.”

I watched him turn around, turn his back to me, and walk out of the room step by step. He completely lost the will to survive, and swallowed the gold that had been hidden under his pillow for a long time.

I want my emperor's son to know that his father may not have dignity, but he will definitely not be the one who betrayed his secrets.

However, when I was about to lose consciousness, I was really in pain and sad.

I had indeed betrayed the trust of the woman I once called "Queen Mother."
