Chapter 068 Fanwai (2 in 1)(1/2)
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.
He Yi finally became the princess's wife, but her imperial edict has not yet come down.
Some people say that the emperor seems to still remember the former Wei Guogong's wife.
Also, He Tian was critically ill several times back then, and half of his foot was always hanging at the gate of hell.
Master Huitong and everyone at Taiyuan Hospital were helpless. They had no other words to say except "do your best and obey the destiny."
But it was such a dilapidated body that made anyone shake their heads when they looked at it, yet it was dragged on for more than ten years.
There are rumors among the people that the medicinal materials given by the emperor saved He's life.
He was able to hold his breath and survive every critical illness, all because of the emperor's blessing.
Although it sounds like nonsense, the facts of He's life are before our eyes.
This made many nobles in the capital whisper secretly: Is it really His Majesty's dragon energy that protects you?!
For some senior ministers, when their longevity is approaching, their families will try their best to approach the emperor.
Emperor: ...of course I am happy.
Being regarded as a life-saving Bodhisattva, even as noble as an emperor, he felt very happy.
Moreover, because the medicinal materials he rewarded were contaminated with dragon energy and could cure diseases and prolong life, he seemed to have become more prestigious as an emperor.
They are all deified!
Anyway, no matter what others do, as long as He is still alive and well, the emperor will always be able to hold a high position.
Therefore, the emperor was very sorry for He Tian's death.
Several years after He Tian's death, the emperor still remembered that there was such a concubine who relied on his dragon energy to survive.
In the emperor's mind, He was probably the only Duke of Wei.
Kang Mo must also be aware of He Tian's special significance to the emperor, so after He Tian passed away, he suppressed his long-cherished wish and He Yi's repeated pleas and pretended to be filial piety to He Tian for two years.
After making enough gestures, Kang Mo found a way to marry He Yi.
Not long after He Yi entered the house, Kang Mo wrote a letter to ask her for a royal decree.
However, the emperor did not approve it.
"...This, this is nothing. He Tian's imperial edict was delayed for three or four years, and it wasn't until I achieved military exploits that Your Majesty approved it!"
Kang Mo didn't know whether he wanted to comfort He Tian or to convince himself with his words.
However, no matter whether He Yi was successfully comforted or not, Comer was reminded: "By the way, the Snow Lotus Virgin is making trouble in the southwest again, and sooner or later there will be a war in the southwest."
At that time, he took the initiative to ask for a fight.
After he achieves military exploits, he, he can ask the emperor to give He Yi some dignity!
He Yi:……
She was unhappy, but she had no other choice, let alone showed it.
More than ten years have passed, and she is no longer the silly woman who had only love in her heart.
She had an affair without a matchmaker and gave birth to a child out of wedlock. She was obviously the daughter of an uncle's house, but she had to hide in the mountains and forests and work as a female Taoist priest.
It was not easy until He Tian died, but Kang Mo did not take her back to the capital immediately.
Kang Mo actually wanted to keep his filial piety to that woman!
What a joke, what a big joke.
These days, it is women who observe filial piety for their deceased husbands, and there is no reason for husbands to observe filial piety for their wives.
Does Comer still want to earn a chastity memorial for himself?
Having already passed her twenty-seventh birthday, He Yi is no longer naive, and it’s not that she doesn’t understand Kang Mo’s concerns.
...So, Comer doesn't love her as much as he says.
In fact, He Yi has discovered this a long time ago. No amount of sincerity or love can compare to power and wealth.
If Comer really loved her, he would not have wasted more than ten years of her life, nor would he have made her the laughing stock of everyone in the capital.
He Yi is full of expectations for Kang Mo, and is also full of admiration and love for him.
However, she suffered disappointment again and again, and she fell into a quagmire that she could not get out of.
In the end, He Yi completely gave up on Kang Mo.
Regarding many of his explanations, He Yi didn't show any emotion on her face, but she didn't believe a word of them in her heart.
What do you believe?
She believed in Comer too much back then, which is why she ended up where she is now.
After passing the period of filial piety, I have to pass the test of the dowager and the crown prince.
He Yi's heart aches every time she thinks of the disgusting, critical, and disdainful looks from Mrs. Tai, the Prince, and others.
It seems that in their eyes, she, the dignified eldest daughter of the Yongchang residence, is probably not as good as a remarried country woman!
But no matter what, no matter how embarrassing the experience was, she got through it.
She was finally able to return to the capital in an upright manner and re-enter the powerful circle in the capital.
But, a new round of pain came again.
There is no airtight wall in the world. No matter how tightly the matter between her and Comer is kept under wraps, even a little bit of it will always come out for more than ten years.
In fact, others don't need to look for any evidence. They just look at the "adopted son" Kang Mo received in his name a few years ago. Gee, the child's facial features are very similar to He Yi's, and his face and ears are unique to the Kang family!
It’s true that everyone in the world is blind and stupid.
Kang Mo said that the second young master in the house was an adopted son, an adopted orphan from Paoze. Did everyone really believe it?
Especially after the death of Wei Guogong's wife He, although Kang Mo was a widower with an eldest son, he was still in his early thirties, had a title, real power and a holy favor.
You can definitely marry a well-matched unmarried girl.
Even the queen in the palace joked that she would be a matchmaker for Duke Wei.
As a result, Kang Mo ignored so many well-off young ladies in Beijing and married a Taoist priestess who had just returned to secular life, an old woman in her twenties.
He Yi's youth has passed away long ago. No matter her birth or age, she is not worthy of being a first-class Duke.
But Kang Mo still resisted all opinions and would rather risk offending the nobles in the palace to marry He Yi, an "old lady", back home.
In the past, some people thought that Comer was very emotional and would risk everything for true love.
Afterwards, everyone looked at He Yi and then at the so-called adopted son. Is there anything they don't understand?
There's no such thing as being sentimental, it's obviously to the point where it's impossible not to marry He Yi!
Of course, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that Comer likes He Yi.
However, everyone always feels that there is more than just "true love" between Kang Mo and He Yi.
In fact, let alone outsiders, even He Yi didn't believe how much Kang Mo loved her.
Comer insisted on marrying her, not so much for love, but to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
Over the years, Comer has been holding his breath.
As a man who inherited a title at a young age and had great military exploits, Comer has long been accustomed to controlling everything.
In his heart, he probably would not surrender to anyone except the emperor.
Do whatever you want, be willful and willful... Although Comer doesn't show it, he is extremely conceited and arrogant on the inside.
As a result, all the smoothness came crashing down on He Tian.
Kang Mo fell in love with He Yi and wanted He Tian to die soon, but she refused to die.
Kang Mo wanted to kill him secretly, but He Tian unexpectedly gained the emperor's attention, and he didn't dare to take action at all.
Kang Mo once made such a high-spirited promise to He Yi, but then he felt so aggrieved.
He Yi endured it, so why not Kang Mo?
In the end, Kang Mo wanted to marry He Yi not just for the past love and years of friendship, but also for the bad breath in his chest.
It seems that as long as he marries He Yi home and lets his illegitimate son recognize his ancestor, the "humiliation" he suffered from He Tian can be wiped out!
Comer himself didn't seem to be aware of his twisted mentality. He mistakenly thought that he loved He Yi deeply and was willing to sacrifice everything for her.
He Yi, who was sensitive and thoughtful due to reality, realized it.
However, she did not expose it, but took advantage of it to make herself and her children live a better life.
Therefore, when He Yi heard Kang Mo vowing that once there was a war in the southwest, he would take the initiative to fight, strive for meritorious service, and then ask for a royal title for her, He Yi didn't believe it in her heart, but her face showed a moved expression.
"...Master, I know that you are the best to me in this world!"
He Yi knew that Kang Mo liked her sweet and innocent look the most.
It's just that although she saw through Comer, she didn't see through herself - a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old is indeed a sweetheart, but for a twenty-six or seven-year-old woman who can be a grandmother, what else can she do?
To be continued...
