Chapter 281
......
"Aunt, my husband would be so happy to know I've found his biological aunt," Qin Luoxia said excitedly.
Princess Huiyun thought: ... If he knows in the afterlife, he probably would be.
"Aunt, in a few days, I'll bring my husband to see you."
Princess Huiyun thought: ... No need, no need to dig him up, that's too scary. Let him rest in peace. This niece-in-law is too enthusiastic.
Without any official status, she's even bringing a child to perform rituals.
If I hadn't been caught by her...
I probably would have spent my whole life hiding and living in secrecy.
Princess Huiyun originally didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the crown prince and princes.
After all, that was her brother's family business.
She was able to survive because she didn't meddle in others' affairs.
But now, she couldn't help it.
After all, seeing that little girl who looked so similar to herself, she couldn't help but feel compassion.
Her royal brother's temperament had become particularly frightening in recent years.
Or rather, in Huiyun's eyes, her royal brother had always been particularly absurd and frightening.
Huiyun was born beautiful, with unparalleled looks, a willful personality, and was the most favored princess at court.
But she never expected that after her brother became the Emperor, he would become even more willful than her.
Moreover, she found that the way her brother looked at her was a bit scary.
She was born as the most noble woman in the world, her father the Emperor gave her everything she wanted.
She also deserved the best.
Once, her every move was the forefront of fashion for the entire country.
Everyone imitated her, everyone took pride in resembling her.
The things she did were also quite outrageous.
But outrageous was one thing, it didn't include having an incestuous relationship with her own brother. Even falling in love with a monk would be better than with her brother.
Then Princess Huiyun fell for the young monk Jingjue.
Jingjue was true to his name, quiet and exceptionally beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, captivating all who saw him.
Even the widely pursued Princess Huiyun fell for him.
Perhaps because Princess Huiyun had been put on such a high pedestal, with all men within her reach, she wanted the one she couldn't have.
Jingjue was raised in the temple as a Buddha's son, growing up in the temple from a young age, proficient in Buddhist teachings and various scriptures.
Huiyun was the princess darling of the royal family, while Jingjue was like the princess darling of the Buddhist world.
Who could resist an innocent and stunningly beautiful little princess?
Even Jingjue, who grew up reciting Buddhist scriptures and eating vegetarian food, couldn't resist.
The result of their love affair was naturally unacceptable to the world.
Her brother, who had become the Emperor, wouldn't allow it, and neither would the Buddhist community.
Both sides came down hard on them.
Jingjue returned to Buddhism, and after cruel suppression, was taken abroad by his master to seek Buddhist scriptures.
The Emperor directly arranged a husband for the princess, forcing her to marry.
The Imperial Son-in-law was also a handsome young man, looking gentle and obedient, speaking pleasantly, and attentive in his actions. After marrying the princess, although he knew she was unwilling, he endured her beatings and scolding, showing a very good temperament.
He quickly healed the heartbroken princess.
The princess was just willful and unrestrained, but not essentially bad.
When she slowly began to accept the Imperial Son-in-law, she discovered that he was actually impotent, not a complete man at all.
The Emperor's intentions hadn't changed over the years, he still wanted to keep her as his forbidden love.
It was simply insane.
The Imperial Son-in-law personally chosen by her royal brother.
It turned out to be a deception as well.
The princess, once the darling of heaven, became depressed and was driven to mental illness. Then she discovered she was pregnant... had a difficult labor... the child died right after birth... her mental illness worsened again...
She repeatedly self-harmed, disfigured herself, and then became what she is now, the pioneer of extreme sports, trying all kinds of dangerous activities, unafraid of death. If she died, so be it; if she lived, it didn't matter, as there was no one in this world she cared about anymore.
As for the current Imperial Son-in-law and Young Master in the princess's mansion, she didn't want to bother with them.
Of course, the Emperor still cared very much about Princess Huiyun.
If anyone's whispers in the Emperor's ear were effective now, Princess Huiyun would definitely be among them.
Huiyun looked at this woman, with her goose-egg shaped face, big eyes, high nose bridge, thick black eyebrows, and tall sturdy figure, and was very satisfied with her dead nephew's taste.
This is the kind of woman one should choose, good for childbearing is secondary, the key is that she looks cheerful and generous. Living with such a person, one could live several years longer.
It wouldn't work with her. She was delicate, she was difficult, she couldn't even bear children. In fact, she knew that even if her brother hadn't separated her and Jingjue, they wouldn't have lived well together.
It was only because they were separated that it seemed so precious, and all the memories seemed beautiful when recalled.
Moreover, she wasn't steadfast either. When she left Jingjue, when Jingjue was locked in the tower in darkness, she actually quickly fell for the Imperial Son-in-law.
She couldn't even be sure if she truly loved Jingjue or not.
It was just that the last time Jingjue saw her, she was lying on the Imperial Son-in-law's lap, looking at the stars and moon.
In that darkness.
That monk named Jingjue, quietly and resolutely watched.
The Buddha's son, for the sake of his beloved woman, had faced death nine times, passed through the world's most harsh trials, walked out of that Buddhist tower, and returned bathed in blood.
His monk's robe had turned black, all covered in blood.
And the woman he cherished and loved, with a slightly swollen belly, was lying on her husband's lap, her voice still innocent and unrestrained.
She said, "Husband, look at that cloud, doesn't it look like a rabbit, a big white rabbit?"
......
When they first met, she had said, "Hey, that monk, you look like the rabbit I raise, a big white rabbit."
......
What is love in this world, that it can make one's heart and intestines break into pieces, ending all affection and loyalty.
......
Huiyun looked at the woman who was putting her weapons back on her body one by one, her gaze unusually gentle.
"Little Qin, why don't you bring the child and move in with me?"
Qin Luoxia shook her head.
"No, Aunt, I want to live with my husband. Why don't you move in with us instead?"
Hearing these words, Huiyun could no longer hold back her tears.
"You fool, you big fool, you enormous fool."
She hugged this vibrant and sturdy woman tightly.
Fool.
Fool.
The person is already dead.
What are you guarding?
It's not worth it.
This world, it's not worth it.
