Lin Yueying only felt a wave of coolness, and her heart skipped a beat. Her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"No, it won't. Did you make a mistake?”She couldn't believe that the empress dowager aunt who had been hiding behind her and supporting her with all her heart had been diagnosed as terminally ill by Bai Ze.
"Yue Ying, I know that you are very sad, but this illness has already entered your heart and lungs. Even if Hua Tuo reincarnated, he would not be able to save you.”Bai Ze knew that his words were a little cruel, but he could not lie to her.
After giving her hope now, if he told her that she couldn't save him, she would probably be even sadder. If that was the case, it would be better to accept it early on to save the huge sense of disparity.
"I can only use medicine to temporarily delay the Empress Dowager's illness. As for how long it can be delayed, it will depend on the Empress Dowager.”
If she had the will to live, then his medicine would naturally be more effective. If she did not want to live anymore, then things would naturally be even worse.
Lin Yueying anxiously urged Bai Ze to quickly use medicine to wake Empress Dowager Lin up.
There were still many things that she did not know how to deal with. She did not know what to do either. She was eager to hear what she had to say.
Bai Ze agreed and took out a pill that was exactly the same as the one he gave Lin Yueying.
"Ying 'er, don't make things difficult for doctor. Aijia knows about this illness.”
Bai Ze's eyes darkened. It would be difficult for anyone to treat this illness because it was impossible to cure it. It was like a fish out of water. No matter how much good food and drink you fed it, it would not be what it needed. It would die anyway.
"Auntie…Auntie, you're awake." Lin Yueying hugged Empress Dowager Lin's hand and cried like a child.
"Look, you're already so old, yet you're still acting like a child, cough cough…it's all…this widow's fault, if I knew you were like this, I wouldn't have forced you to stay. Aijia finally understands that this palace is not suitable for you to stay in.”
"Aunt, don't say that. Although it was your wish to enter the palace, my father also agreed. Even I didn't object. How can I blame you?”Lin Yueying forced back her tears and choked.
When Bai Ze heard this, he felt as if a jack had fallen from his heart.
He had always thought that with Lin Yueying's naive personality, she would not like to enter the palace. After all, life in the palace had never been easy. There were many schemes and schemes. It was tiring both mentally and physically. How could she withstand these schemes?
However, she still entered the palace and did not even leave him a single word.
This was something that he had always been brooding over. Now that he had heard it with his own ears, she was actually willing to do this. Other than being shocked, she was also sad.
"If there's anything wrong, it's still my fault. I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have.”Lin Yueying's eyes were red and her face was as pale as a sheet.
She realized this too late, and the process of understanding was too tragic.
She had given up all her youth and all her lover's abilities to endure the invasion of the contraceptive soup every day. In the end, she still had to endure him personally drinking her crocus and abort the child in her stomach for another woman.
She hated…
She hated him for being so heartless.
When he needed the Lin family, he had deliberately approached her to win her favor and marry her into the palace. However, he did not want to cherish her, but to vent his anger and hatred towards the Lin family.
Now, she also hated…
For the first time, her feelings for that man were finally pure. The love in her heart had been wiped away by the torture. Looking at Empress Dowager Lin's regretful and haggard face, her heart felt so calm and hateful for the first time.
Empress Dowager Lin saw that when she talked about Chu Huaijin, she no longer looked as radiant as before. Instead, she looked dull and filled with hatred. She suddenly blamed herself even more.
She glanced at the palace maids in front of the bed and motioned for them to leave first.
His gaze finally landed on Bai Ze, who had not moved at all.
" This…This is the Bai Clan kid."
She knew this young man. Perhaps she had never seen him before, but his face looked very similar to his parents. Back then, before she entered the palace, she had a lot of interactions with the Bai couple and they were very close.
Bai Ze quickly stepped forward and bowed." After so many years, I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to still remember me."”
The Empress Dowager faintly smiled and the wrinkles on her face became more and more obvious, like a large yellow chrysanthemum blooming in autumn, layer by layer.
Seeing that he was the son of an old friend, Empress Dowager Lin didn't chase him away.
Moreover, even if he heard about these harem matters, it would not matter. Anyway, she was about to die. What could a dying person not face?
"This matter has to start from decades ago.”
Empress Dowager Lin coughed lightly and stood up. Lin Yueying quickly took a pillow and placed it behind her waist to support her sitting properly.
"At that time, this widow was also sixteen or seventeen years old and was like you, more delicate than a flower.
At that time, your father and I were only five years apart. We grew up together. Even if we were childhood sweethearts, we were still innocent.
When we grew up to be ignorant, the elders in the family suddenly called us away. They only said that we were old and should not play together anymore. They even arranged marriage for us.”
Needless to say, Lin Mocheng's marriage partner was definitely Lin Yueying's biological mother, and Empress Dowager Lin's was the late emperor, who was only the third prince at that time.
" It was then that we realized that our family never wanted us to be together... cough cough " Empress Dowager Lin couldn't help but cough loudly.
"Auntie…I don't understand." Lin Yueying's phoenix eyes were filled with confusion.
The Empress Dowager's aunt and her father were biological siblings, so how could the family possibly think about arranging a marriage for them?
"You didn't understand…it's not your fault, this widow didn't make things clear. Aijia and your father are not biological siblings. Back then, I was just a fatherless child that the Lin family picked up. Originally, she wanted to be raised as a maid, but your grandmother wanted to give birth to a daughter, but she never got her wish. Coincidentally, this widow looked like your grandmother's daughter, and your father hugged her every day, even when he was sleeping, as if she was a treasure…Just like that, this widow became the daughter of the Lin family, and was recorded in the Lin family's genealogy. To the outside world, she only said that she was your grandmother's biological daughter…"
This was the first time Lin Yueying had heard Empress Dowager Lin talk about the past of the older generation. Listening to her low and unnaturally hoarse voice, she seemed to have transformed into the mischievous eldest daughter of the Lin family. When Empress Dowager Lin was young, she was indeed as beautiful as a fairy. Although the Lin family elders had never considered making her a daughter-in-law, they had never thought of marrying into the royal family. However, after a flower banquet, Empress Dowager Lin was chosen by the late emperor. The next day, he sent an official matchmaker to propose marriage.
No one in the Lin family dared to stop the royal family from choosing their daughter-in-law, so this matter was settled.
In order to make the two of them give up, the Lin family quickly arranged a marriage for Lin Mocheng.
Although the two of them loved each other, they had both grown up studying and knew etiquette. They both knew that personal feelings could only be placed behind the family's righteousness. For so many years, they had endured their feelings for each other for decades.
" Since aunt doesn't love the late emperor, but the matter of the emperor's mother... then..." Lin Yueying understood the meaning from Qing Li's words and Chu Huaijin's drunken words.
The main reason he blamed the Lin family was because he thought Empress Dowager Lin killed his mother and made him lose his motherly love.
"You've wanted to ask this question for a long time, right?”Empress Dowager Lin didn't show any signs of anger. She was just mentally tired. Some things had been buried in her heart for too long, and it was very tiring to suddenly say them out.
"Did aunt kill the emperor's mother?”Lin Yueying's eyes widened as she quietly waited for the answer.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120184:14AM
