Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

"It has come to such a time, is Your Majesty still unwilling to show some face to his concubine?"

Her Royal Highness's expression was cold, she knew that she shouldn't be so ruthless in front of seriously ill people, recalling the good memories of this life was their last ritual in the world.But she still couldn't stand Tonghuyuan thinking of that woman with such a tender and nostalgic expression in front of her.Losing to a low-ranking dresser with an unbearable status is probably something she can't let go of in her life.

Tonghuyuan coughed, and his tone was mixed with habitual disappointment, "That's it, you are so cold, it's just that I can't like it no matter how hard I try."

Ignoring Honghuidian's pale face, Tonghuyuan said Xu Xu.At such a moment, he no longer has any scruples.All the words that have not been expressed in this life have been left at this time.

"Why don't you ever show weakness to me? Always so proud, it's really annoying to be seen. That's what I missed you at that time, after every quarrel. Even if I want to come to you to make up, if the tone Loosening up a little will allow you to seize the gap and push each other step by step. You will no longer have the heart to get along with each other!"

Nuyu's pupils shrank suddenly, and she subconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes.I squeezed until my fingertips turned white, maintaining my elegant posture.There was silence in the air, and the proud woman held on to the dignity she had held dear all her life, not letting sad emotions overwhelm her.

"But then I also figured it out..." Tonghuyuan sighed deeply, and turned his face to the other side.

The Queen of Honghui Palace was bitter, and she no longer knew how to respond.She couldn't understand what the man's accusation and disgust meant at this time.Is it to make her feel embarrassed when she thinks about her first half of her life in the rest of the time?She was dizzy, her lips moved, "What did your Majesty want to understand..."

"I figured it out..." The long-ill man looked at the tall beams and whispered his secret thoughts, "I figured it out because you don't love me..."

"what……"

"You don't love me, don't you?" Tong Huyuan turned to look at His Royal Highness, with inexplicable pain hidden in his eyes, "The person you always love is not me, but your family, and yourself That's all!"

"Your Majesty!" The female royal of the Honghui Palace finally couldn't bear it any longer, and retorted loudly in a tone that would definitely be stopped by the imperial physician: "I am my father's daughter, and it is my bloodline to maintain the honor of the family! This is the responsibility of my existence." Meaning! Your Majesty is negating my life! When you use such a reason to accuse me, let my concubine ask, do you really take pity on my concubine!"

The two looked at each other, with the stubborn look in their eyes when they were both familiar with confrontation.These two people will never understand each other in this life, but they have already made up their minds in their hearts that they don't want to understand even in the next life.

"You're right... I never felt sorry for you. From the beginning to the end, the only person I love has always been her..."

Up to now, the only woman Tonghuyuan loves deeply is the dresser who died young.When she passed away prematurely, Tonghuyuan transferred this love that had no place to rest to her son.He tried every means to get asylum for Genji, wishing he could put everything in front of him.

The woman Honghuidian hated the most, even after she was born, the blood left behind is still tormenting Honghuidian.It made her sleepless, wishing she could curse and kill this person.

Nuyu adjusted her breathing and calmed down the excitement in her heart a little.When he spoke again, he was no longer as impulsive as before, "You will be reunited with the one you love soon, shouldn't you call Suzaku and the others in for more instructions at this time?"

Tonghuyuan's smile was very illusory, showing a look of anticipation of happiness, "You are right, since that person left, I have been waiting for such a day."

He will be able to see his most beloved woman immediately.That woman is weak and beautiful, lonely and pitiful.Only she is different from other people's arrogant and indifferent appearance, she will rely on Tonghuyuan wholeheartedly.Like a vine clinging tightly to a straight tree trunk.Without such support, she would not be able to survive.

When Tong Huyuan came into contact with Chang Yi's wholeheartedly admiring eyes, his heart that was disappointed and imprisoned in the imperial palace revived like spring.Only in changing clothes, he has no sense of restraint, and he has the ability to dominate everything.Therefore, he loves changing clothes, and losing the changing clothes makes him extremely painful, as if separating his own flesh and blood.

After the beloved woman left, Tonghuyuan couldn't find another woman who could make him so infatuated, and everything after that was just random.Fortunately, Tonghu changed clothes and left behind a child who was as beautiful as her.This child is as lovable as his mother, and the courtyard is like compensation, or it is to satisfy himself.Give him the best, the most glorious status, and the most extravagant favor.

However, the involuntary self-control as the owner is frightening.His desperate rewards can no longer be exchanged for the sense of accomplishment of being in charge of everything.The prince was still unable to reach the top as he wished.The more guilty you are, the more you will make up for it. Tonghuyuan can give up almost everything for the sake of that woman's blood.

After talking for so long, Yuan Jun is already tired.But that genuine joy still lingered in his heart. Before he closed his eyes tiredly, he was still murmuring, "That's great...see you soon..."

His Royal Highness Honghui waited for Yuan Jun to fall asleep, and covered him with a quilt.Looking at the man's thin face, my heart felt cold.The entanglement of this life has no meaning here.Even when it was time to separate, they still couldn't understand what was in each other's minds.Has Her Royal Highness really never thought of relying on one person?Being weak is a woman's nature, but hiding this nature behind pride can also cause such criticism and complaints.

To admit who the person I love deeply in front of me so frankly is probably because I have already seen through the weakness hidden in this man's temperament, so I don't have any scruples.

The woman who was regarded as a thorn in his side had long since died, and that person's blood was about to lose its greatest protection.What's the big deal about never getting a sliver of pity from this man.It is not a kind of luck to live so openly and clearly.Being pampered like a substitute, it is unfortunate to be blinded by false pets.

Nu Yu covered her sleeves and sneered, she clearly knew how her husband was immersed in past tenderness.But her husband never understood her.As today's mother, she has lived in this harem for many years, so what she values ​​is naturally not such illusory love.Now the enemy of the Honghui Palace Nuyu is of course not the lonely changer who is locked in the corridor and can only cry.She is the daughter of the right minister, and there is family blood in her veins, which is enough for this noble woman to recognize everything.

After that, the female queen of Honghui Palace withdrew from the room in Tonghuyuan and stopped taking care of her.All the serving actions were given to Barnacle Nakamiya.This strange behavior is really puzzling.It's just that the daughter of Honghui Palace is very powerful, especially at such a special moment, no one dares to spread any gossip.

·

It was about a certain late night, the palace attendant in front of the imperial court hurriedly came to the handsome palace and asked him to go to the emperor's bedroom immediately.He paused in his heart, obviously having some guesses.Before he had time to say anything, His Highness quickly walked over there.

When he reached the door of the bedroom, he happened to bump into Mr. Genji who came out from inside.His expression could almost be regarded as devastated, full of despondency.The two bumped into each other, and Guangjun looked haggard, and nodded towards the commander-in-chief with a heavy expression, "Your Majesty, he just entered."

Ying slightly returned the salute, and walked in quickly without delay.

His Majesty deliberately summoned these princes separately.There are some hidden secrets that cannot be understood by outsiders.Especially for a keen person like Yinggong, I am afraid that he can detect one or two points from just a few words.Especially when the father finished speaking to Genji, the young son's mood was ups and downs and he almost lost his composure on the spot——

Seeing his frail father, Genji felt so sad that he could barely speak.When Tonghuyuan saw this child, pure joy appeared on his face.In recent years, Mr. Guang's appearance has almost reached its peak, and that kind of handsomeness has reached the point of fascination.Through his eyes, Mr. Tonghuyuan was finally able to see the hazy figure in his dream more clearly.

"These days... it's really hard for you."

"Father, my son..." Genji sobbed, "If you can get healthy, then what's the point of taking the rest of my son's life?"

"And don't say such things. I'm a dying person, and it's not worth doing anything." Yuan Jun moved, reaching out his hand to touch the child's face.Guangjun quickly moved forward to facilitate his father's movements. "Besides, you are a child born of your mother's hard work. If you were damaged because of me, what face would I have to meet her..."

"Father..."

Tonghuyuan tried its best to touch the light, but the feedback it sent was so weak, "My child, you are different from your brothers. I raised you with all my heart and soul." child."

"Yes, I have always been grateful for the love of my father from my heart."

"...I did this because of your mother. Your mother is the woman I love the most in my life, and I can do anything for her! Do you understand!"

Yuanjun suddenly became agitated, and the strong emotion made him cough.It's almost like coughing up the soul, and the life seems to be consumed as if visible.Mr. Genji was startled, and hurriedly reached out his hand to comfort his father.It's just that as soon as he leaned over, his wrist was tightly grasped by Tong Huyuan's withered fingers.That strength is so great that it doesn't look like a seriously ill person.

"Your body... stays in your mother's blood, so... I will forgive you for whatever you do, and your father will help you achieve whatever you want! Guang, my child, do you understand!"

This sentence hit Master Genji's head like a thunderbolt.He suppressed his almost trembling body, but even the eyeballs trembled in fear.At this moment, a terrible idea emerged in his mind-he knew everything about Tonghuyuan.

His teeth were chattering in fear, and various emotions such as guilt, pain, reluctance, and fear came out of his eyes.His heart was howling, calling out to him not to meet his father's gaze.

However, Guang couldn't control himself, and his eyes widened to meet his father's gaze.Those eyes full of kindness stared at him, and all demeanor was defeated in an instant.Genji's heart has nowhere to hide from his father.

The self-comfort and deception in the past has no effect, and Mr. Genji is speechless.Cold sweat soaked his back, if it wasn't for Tong Huyuan pulling his wrist, maybe he would have collapsed on the ground long ago.

Seeing his son lose his composure like this, Tonghuyuan seemed a little funny.He let go of his son's wrist and patted the back of his hand reassuringly, "You don't need to be so surprised. Father is very happy that you can rely on me like your mother. Over the years, you have also grown into a proud man. How about her appearance. Although there are some things that make me regretful, I won’t feel guilty about going to see her.”

"Father..." Guangjun opened his mouth with difficulty, but he didn't know what to say.

Speaking of regrets, Tonghuyuan still had some grudges, "I failed to let you stay in Qingliang Palace..."

"No, father, brother is an admirable emperor. My son has never thought about it wrongly, and please don't feel guilty about this matter anymore."

Mentioning this incident, Guangjun finally regained his senses from the emotion just now, and quickly expressed his thoughts with a serious expression.Tonghuyuan fell silent after hearing this.Because there are people with long-term illnesses here, such silence immediately creates a terrible silence in the air.Mr. Genji became uneasy again, sitting like a needle.

"Forget it, this is already my obsession." Tong Huyuan sighed, "However, Quan is already the East Palace. With you, he will not be lonely and helpless, which makes people feel at ease."

"...Yes," Guangjun hesitated, "I will definitely do my best to assist His Majesty Dong Gonggong."

"That's exactly what you want." Hearing the answer that satisfied him, Tong Huyuan felt relieved, "Quan, he is a good boy... I have never treated Donggong mother and child badly..."

The pause in this passage made Genji feel tremendous pressure.But he really didn't dare to show a slight gaffe.If Tonghuyuan hadn't noticed the secret hidden in it, his panic would only make this loving father more distressed.

In the end, the father seemed to have finally felt powerless, and he could only sigh quietly and tell his beloved son: "I entrusted Zhonggong and Quan to you, please take good care of them for me."

Guang swallowed hard, his throat rolled, and he answered hoarsely, "Yes, Father."

Tonghuyuan was very reluctant to let Mr. Genji go, even after entrusting him, he was unwilling to let him go, but talked about many past things intermittently.When it came to changing clothes after dying early, the fresh look on his face made Mr. Genji feel very guilty.And the fact that his father was about to leave made him feel extremely sad.

Tears mixed with various complex emotions continued to flow until the palace servants reported that His Majesty Suzaku had arrived.Tonghuyuan shook Guangjun's hand again with difficulty, and let him go back reluctantly.

Guangjun is also extremely reluctant, although it doesn't matter much if he loses his composure at this time.Everyone feels the pain of losing a loved one, and His Majesty will not be harsh on it.It's just that Genji had other thoughts in his heart, and he really didn't dare to expose them to others.I could only quickly wipe away the tears with my sleeves, and bid farewell to my father in all sorrow.

Before leaving, the man on the sickbed muttered to himself, staining the handsome prince's back with a hint of fleeing.

When Genji walked out of the dormitory, he was in a trance.If other people see that downcast and dazed appearance, I'm afraid it will be extremely distressing.Unexpectedly, at this door, he met the handsome palace.

It is said that other people must think that the prince is sad because of his father's illness, but facing the handsome palace, Guangjun has no confidence to hide the past.

This brother, who is seven years younger than himself, has insight that makes Master Genji frightened.When his eyes covered himself, all the filth hidden in the darkness was revealed, and there was nowhere to hide.Guang Guang didn't know how much Shuai Gong knew, and he didn't want Ying to know more.Therefore, General Genji just greeted the commander-in-chief's palace briefly, and left quickly after confirming the etiquette.
