Chapter 83
"Yes." The emperor said with a hoarse voice, "I saw it. If I had stopped it at that time, or told the queen mother immediately, Concubine Zhao would not have succeeded, and you would not have been poisoned."
Gu Jinzhi felt the coldness, the coldness that came out from the heart: "But you didn't say it."
"Yes." The emperor admitted again.
The biting cold made every pore on Gu Jinzhi's body tremble: "You concealed this matter, allowed Concubine Zhao Gui to poison me, and watched me drink that bowl of tonic mixed with poison with your own eyes."
"Yes." The emperor didn't deny it any more, just nodded blindly, and said with tears in his eyes, "My temporary evil thoughts have missed your whole life. I want to forget these and try my best not to think about them, but gradually, this matter has faded away." It turned into a nightmare that will never go away and haunt me. The appearance of you suffering from pain when the poison came out, the appearance of you dying from the poisonous poison, and the appearance of a ghost coming back to question me and ask for my life..."
The emperor burst into tears, he was old and terminally ill, looking back on what he did when he was young, his heart was full of sadness: "You are my younger brother, I have loved you since I was a child, and every time I see you I will never regret the pain and torment at the time of my death. I want to make it up to you, and give you everything I can give to make it up to you..."
The emperor clutched his dull chest, his agitation prompted him to cough violently, his face was ashen, his parched lips trembled pale.
This time, Gu Jinzhi didn't cheer him up, nor did he give him water.She just stared at him coldly with a blank face: "Why?"
The emperor said weakly: "You are so smart, can't you...can't figure it out?"
Gu Jinzhi just didn't want to guess: "Is that dragon chair?"
The emperor laughed silently: "I have never seen my father so happy. On the day you were born, I still remember the expression of surprise and surprise on my father's face. My father has many children, but none of them are as happy as your father." Loving you. On the day you were born, you cried endlessly, but your father sent your nanny away, and held you in person for a whole night, saying "Jin Zhi is like me" every bite. And the queen mother...maybe she got a son when she was old, and she doted on you even more. If you grow up like this, you will... be a threat in the future."
There was a smile on Gu Jinzhi's lips, but his dark pupils were as cold as iron.Naturally, he would not naively think that the royal family is so sincere. He is used to seeing the imperial power party and government, and any brotherhood that is as deep as blood is thicker than water is all fake.
"When I was three years old in the early summer, I suddenly developed a poisonous attack at night. My father and emperor went out on patrol, and my mother had a headache. At that time, the emperor was discussing important military affairs with the courtiers. When you heard the message from Yongshou Palace, you immediately put everything down and hurried Arrived at Yongshou Palace, hugged me and coaxed me to listen to my endless howling, the whole night passed, I fell asleep peacefully, but you were exhausted."
The emperor was amazed, the vague past was like a tidal wave rushing towards his face, spreading across his knees, waist, and neck, making him breathless and weighing heavily on his heart.
"In the late autumn of the same year, I went up a tree to pick up a kite for fun, and accidentally fell down. I was caught by the accompanying eunuch, but the skin on my arm was scratched. Brother Huang knew it, but he punished everyone who served me. Seriously, you can't even get down to the ground for half a year. Every time you come to see me in the mother's harem, you will bring some rare antiques to make me happy. You will bear the troubles I caused. For this reason, you are often scolded by your father. "
The emperor's body was trembling, and he couldn't control the violent trembling of his hands. He wanted to grab Gu Jinzhi's hand, but it was only a short distance away, but he couldn't reach it no matter how hard he tried.Tears blurred the eyes, and the old things were as sweet as honey and poisonous as hell.He didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it: "Jin Zhi, you...do you hate me?"
Gu Jinzhi looked at him coldly, maybe the emperor's actions were sincere, maybe he really regretted what he did, so he tried his best to treat him well and make up for him.
However, if time could be turned back to 22 years ago and the emperor was given another chance to start over, Gu Jinzhi was sure that the emperor would still do the same.
It's not that Gu Jinzhi judges a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, after all, the allure of that dragon chair can't be described in a few words?The emperor later treated him well and felt guilty towards him. Wasn't it based on the fact that "he has no threat of imperial power"?
"If I was born of another concubine, if I and the emperor's brother were of the same father, I would hate him for treating me like this." Gu Jinzhi's feather-light eyes swept across the emperor, The emperor opened his mouth, knowing that he had no way to refute.
"Brother Huang and I are compatriots. When Brother Huang indulged Concubine Zhao Gui to poison him, when Brother Huang made up his mind to hide this matter from his father, mother, queen, and everyone else, when Brother Huang saw the bowl of □ When I drank it... Brother Huang really wanted me to die." Gu Jinzhi's pupils were as serious as a deep pool: "It's just that I never thought that it would not be fatal, but would only bring endless torture. "
The emperor hesitated to speak, his chapped lips trembling.
"I have no hatred for Brother Huang." Gu Jinzhi said in a hoarse voice, "There is only disappointment. An elder brother who treats me like a father is one of the culprits who caused me 20 years of suffering. This feeling, as if The soul was forcibly ripped out of the body, leaving an empty shell that was bone-chillingly cold."
"Jin, Jin Zhi..." The emperor's lips trembled more and more: "Brother, I'm sorry...you, you should hate me..."
Gu Jinzhi seemed to smile, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and the overflowing smile was fleeting: "Perhaps two years ago, I would not only be disappointed, but also resentful. But two years later, Jiang Li appeared."
The emperor stared blankly, looking at him puzzled.Gu Jinzhi's heart is magnanimous, could it be that he has reached the point where he has no resentment for being deceived?But what does this have to do with Jiang Li?Can a confidant resolve his hatred?
Gu Jinzhi got up on his knees, and he stood with his back facing the emperor. His black back was covered by the orange-red candlelight, making him look softer: "If there is no turmoil, the poison of the twilight cannot be cured. Everything has its own cause and effect. Put it another way." I thought, maybe Wei Lan is my talisman, otherwise that blood-eating worm would have killed me. If I hadn't been poisoned by Wei Lan, maybe I wouldn't have met Jiang Li, or if I had met him, But when his life was hanging by a thread, there was nothing I could do. The result now...is pretty good."
Gu Jinzhi tilted his head slightly, the candlelight reflected in his clear eyes, and a wave of light flowed: "It would be better if the poison of Sui Lan had nothing to do with Brother Huang. Unfortunately, this is just my wishful thinking."
The emperor stared at Gu Jinzhi dumbfounded, unable to say a word.
