Chapter 161 Recognize (2)
Queen Pei didn't know how long she had cried.
It seems that all the pain that has been suffocated in my heart for several years is expressed.
Cheng Jinrong also cried. However, she was tenacious and calmed down quickly. She wiped her tears with her sleeves and kept patting Queen Pei's back with her right hand.
"Jinrong, mom, I'm sorry for you." Queen Pei cried and said these words back and forth: "I'm sorry to you."
Cheng Jinrong held Empress Pei's shoulder and whispered: "Mom, you didn't feel sorry for me."
"You are no wonder when things happened back then. You are kind and soft by nature and are less wary of your relatives. You fall into the plot of Pei Wanqing and Pei Qin."
"It was them who were cruel and trapped you in the secret room of the Pei family, and used my safety to force you to be Pei Wanqing's personal body." Without you, I would not have grown up safely in the Pei family's house."
"It's not your wish to give birth to the sixth prince."
"All this is a big mistake made by their siblings' ambitions. How can you blame you!"
"In the past few years, you have never missed my daughter. Mom, you have not been sorry for me at all. You are the gentlest mother and the most loving mother in the world."
Empress Pei's eyes were blurred with tears in her eyes, and she could no longer see Cheng Jinrong's face. She could only hear her gentle and firm voice: "Mom, I have become a medical officer and entered the palace to your side. From now on, I will not allow anyone to bully you at all."
Queen Pei couldn't help crying again.
This time, there were tears of joy.
"Jinrong, my Jinrong." Empress Pei hugged Cheng Jinrong in her arms and cried: "I have always hoped to meet you in my dreams. But in my dreams, I dare not hear you call me mother."
It's worth it to make her close her eyes the next moment.
No, not right.
She can't die. When she dies, who will protect her daughter?
Empress Pei sniffed, stopped crying, and looked at Cheng Jinrong carefully.
Cheng Jinrong's eyes were slightly red, and his eyes became darker after the tears washed away. His pretty nose, rosy lips, and white and delicate skin.
Her daughter has grown up and has grown into an unparalleled and beautiful girl.
Empress Pei loves the more she looks, and she becomes more happy the more she looks. She can't help but reach out and gently stroke Cheng Jinrong's face. Cheng Jinrong pursed her lips and smiled, without moving, allowing Empress Pei to touch her cheek.
After a long time, Empress Pei took back her hand with satisfaction and sighed softly: "Jinrong, I still feel like I am floating and leisurely, like a dream."
"It's not a dream." Cheng Jinrong smiled and said, "It's really me."
Yes! It's not a dream, everything is true.
Queen Pei's eyes turned red again. However, she did not cry anymore, but laughed: "I don't know how many tears I shed over the years. From today on, I will never cry again."
Cheng Jinrong felt relieved and nodded with a smile.
...
Empress Pei finally calmed down and began to ask: "Jinrong, how have you been in the Pei family for the years? Have you bullied you? Also, Pei Qin hid this secret tightly, where did you know?"
Cheng Jinrong replied one by one: "In the Pei family, I have no worries about food and clothing. The couple are both very good to me on the surface. No one dares to bully me."
As for the last thing...
Cheng Jinrong looked up at Empress Pei and whispered: "Mom, do you believe that people have their past lives?"
Empress Pei was stunned. She asked Cheng Jinrong how to know this secret, and how did Cheng Jinrong talk about the past life?
"Mom, I had a dream." Cheng Jinrong said slowly: "In the dream, I have been kept in the dark. I married Pei Zhang at the age of sixteen. At the age of eighteen, Emperor Zheng and his son found Madam Feng and secretly took her into the palace."
Queen Pei's head slowed down. When she thought of who this Madam Feng was, she gasped and her face turned pale.
"Madam Feng is my mother's nanny. I know that there is a birthmark on my mother that no one knows." Cheng Jinrong's voice was still gentle: "My mother suddenly saw Madam Feng, she was panicked and her secret that had been hidden for more than ten years was revealed."
Queen Pei asked with a pale face and trembling, "What's next?"
"Later, the entire Pei family was beheaded. My mother committed suicide in the palace. Before she died, she wrote a blood letter to the emperor and asked Eunuch Li to save my life."
The past is vivid in my memory when I recall it. Cheng Jinrong's voice fell: "I escaped to the border by luck, changed my name and reunited with my father."
"It's a pity that the emperor died soon after he was seriously ill. The eldest prince succeeded to the throne, and the second prince was unwilling to accept it and colluded with the Tatar prince privately. The Tatar prince led his troops to attack the border, and my father died at the hands of the Tatar cavalry. The border people were in trouble, and I don't know how many soldiers and people died."
Empress Pei's whole body was cold and her blood was cold.
Cheng Jinrong held Queen Pei's cold hand: "Mom, I have had this same dream for several nights. The situation in the dream is vivid. I can't help but believe it."
"I went back to the Cheng family on the grounds of being a hairpin. The reaction of the Pei family confirmed that everything I dreamed of was true. That day, Pei Qin came to the pharmacy to find me. I bluntly claimed that I had broken the matter and threatened it with a secret..."
Empress Pei was frightened and blurted out: "Pei Qin is cruel and ruthless. What if he wants to kill you to silence you?"
Cheng Jinrong looked at Empress Pei deeply: "It's better to be broken than to be full of tiles."
Empress Pei: “…”
Queen Pei stared at Cheng Jinrong in a daze.
The smile on Cheng Jinrong's face faded, and his beautiful face shone with a condensing and resolute light: "Pei Qin set this game back then, just to see your kindness and tenderness, and to be sure that you can't bear to leave my daughter's life. He treats you as a chess piece for the second prince, and for the wealth of the Pei family."
"The secret is revealed. At worst, we mother and daughter can only have the word "death". It's not a loss to have the Pei family buried with each other."
"I'm not afraid of death. The person who is afraid of death is Pei Qin."
"So, he was destined to bow his head in front of me."
Pei Qin was the source of Queen Pei’s nightmare for many years. Her tragic fate arose from this brother. Her fear of him was almost engraved into her bones.
At this moment, this fear was completely destroyed by Cheng Jinrong's words.
"Mom, I'm not afraid of death, are you afraid?" Cheng Jinrong asked her softly.
Queen Pei's voice trembled: "Jinrong, I'm not afraid of death. But you are still young, have not met your beloved man, have not married and have children. You have never experienced the best things in your life..."
She is not afraid of death.
She was afraid that she would implicate her daughter.
Cheng Jinrong smiled slightly: "What I mean is not afraid of death, not really going to die. So, Mom doesn't have to worry. I will live well, and Mom will live well."
