Chapter 457 Don’t Pick Up 14
Late spring in Beijing is about to pass and early summer has arrived. The beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains is reflected in a picturesque way.
The boats were fixed with iron chains and formed a line on the lake. The young men in the capital drank and had fun, while the ladies wrote poems and painted.
Away from the crowd, Su Lingruo and Xie Si'an stood together on the railing of the boat. The breeze blew, creating ripples in the lake, and the people on the boat swayed slightly.
The lotus buds were about to bloom, and fish were swimming in the lake. Xie Si'an spoke with a hint of disappointment in his words: "My brother has also seen this beautiful scenery with me."
"Your Highness is on this boat. Why don't we ask the palace maids to go and invite His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xie Sian shook her head. What's the point of inviting him? Xie Siwei, who had seen the beautiful scenery with her, had died long ago.
She subconsciously touched the safety lock on her chest and said, "No need."
A thin layer of mist rose on the surface of the lake, and Su Lingruo seemed to see a flash of water in Xie Si'an's eyes.
The eldest princess seemed very sad.
"Miss Su, do you know that I am a twin of the Emperor? Sometimes I even wonder if it is because I stole the Emperor's life in the womb that he is so weak."
Xie Siwei had been suffering from major and minor illnesses since childhood, and the miracle doctor even asserted that Xie Siwei would not live past his twenties.
Xie Siwei always liked to follow her around and call her sister.
At that time, Xie Sian just felt a little annoyed and wanted to shut his brother's mouth.
But every time Xie Siwei fell ill and lay in bed, she felt very uncomfortable, fearing that her brother would die.
Xie Si'an didn't know why every time Xie Siwei fell ill, she would react even though she was far away in the princess's palace.
It was not until she went to the Imperial Observatory and saw an ancient book that it mentioned that twins, born from the same mother, could sense each other's emotions.
Xie Si'an lowered his eyes, "Nanlin Kingdom and Beiyue Kingdom were not at peace more than a decade ago. The two countries had been at war for a long time. In order to maintain peace, they agreed to exchange each other's royal bloodlines."
Su Lingruo listened quietly at the side. Sometimes, the person who is talking does not need a response from others, but just needs someone to listen quietly.
To relieve the depression in my heart.
"I should have been the one to go, but I was too young at the time and too scared to go to a strange enemy country. I cried and told my brother that I didn't want to go. My brother comforted me and took my place."
"The emperor also indulges his younger brother in his mischief."
A hint of sneer appeared on Xie Si'an's lips. Her mother and her grandfather's family had used all means to force the emperor to replace Xie Siwei with her and go to the Kingdom of North Vietnam.
As a result, because she cried to her younger brother, Xie Siwei took the initiative to find his father and asked to go to North Vietnam.
The good intentions of the queen mother were all ruined, and the look she gave her was full of disappointment, "Si'an, it's not that the queen mother is partial to you, but your brother is weak. If he goes to North Vietnam, I'm afraid he won't live long."
Xie Sian could actually understand her mother. She also regretted it. Her brother was so weak. If he went to a strange enemy country, he would definitely die. He would definitely die.
But the imperial decree has been issued, and you are not joking. Nothing you do will help.
She could only watch Xie Siwei go to North Vietnam.
The queen mother did not blame her and was still very kind to her, but she would stare in the direction of her brother's bedroom from time to time.
Fortunately, Xie Si'an received letters from Xie Siwei every month, and he felt relieved.
Until the hostage of the North Vietnam Kingdom died in the Nanlin Kingdom.
At that moment, Xie Sian's blood seemed to freeze.
She stumbled and tried to find her father, but heard her mother's broken and shrill voice.
"Your Majesty is so cruel. You killed the North Vietnamese hostage. Your Majesty is trying to kill my son!"
The Queen Mother burst into tears, her heart aching: "Your Majesty is afraid of my mother's family. Have you ever thought that you were able to ascend to the throne because of me, the Wang family?"
"presumptuous!"
My father was furious, but my mother didn't care. "I thought you would love Wei'er and An'er. But Your Majesty made a miscarriage drug for me when I was pregnant, and made Wei'er weak. How could you love them?"
Xie Sian was stunned, a chill running up her spine from the soles of her feet. After learning such a huge truth, she could no longer look her father in the face.
It was my father who made my younger brother so weak... Xie Siwei had to bear all the toxicity of those medicines, and she was the only one who was still fine and had a healthy body.
Xie Sian didn't know how he got back to the bedroom.
I vaguely remember that my father gave in to my mother and promised to make my younger brother the crown prince when he returned.
But since that day, my mother fell ill, like a big tree that has been drained of its vitality, turning into a withered tree.
The queen mother is dead.
Xie Si'an had a serious illness. After waking up, he received information about the situation in North Vietnam. He was relieved to know that his younger brother was safe.
The people of North Vietnam wanted to vent their anger on Xie Siwei, but Xie Siwei was saved by the deposed crown prince of North Vietnam.
Xie Si'an has been obediently serving her father as the eldest princess, trying to please the emperor and hoping that he would bring Xie Siwei back as soon as possible.
I waited and waited, and after six or seven years, she gradually became silent.
He no longer placed his hopes on his father, but instead began to worry about Xie Siwei's death.
Won't live past twenty.
She had always been afraid of receiving news of Xie Siwei's death, but fortunately, Xie Siwei had successfully survived to adulthood and was now twenty-one years old.
Finally returned to my hometown.
Became the crown prince.
It hasn't been a few months yet, and she hasn't had the chance to spend the rest of her life with her sister.
Xie Siwei died because of the frame-up by Xie Hengzhi and Xie Wenzhi.
It's really funny. Xie Siwei lived well for more than ten years in Beiyue Kingdom, but died within just a few months after returning to Nanlin Kingdom.
A big fire broke out in the forest. Xie Siwei was injured during the autumn harvest hunting, but the one who came back was not Xie Siwei, but Xie Chengyao.
My brother’s good friend in North Vietnam.
Neither my father nor anyone else recognized him, but Xie Si'an saw it at a glance.
That's not her brother.
Her brother died.
The person who came seemed to have some plans against the Nanlin Kingdom.
But why did she say that? The country to the south is rotten. Wouldn’t it be better to hand over the southern neighbor to North Vietnam?
My father was of low status and ascended to the throne by marrying my mother, but he was afraid to separate his flesh and blood.
The prince was injured during the autumn harvest hunt, but his father did not want to pursue the murderer.
Xie Si'an hated his father, and also hated the third and fourth princes.
She wanted to see the Xie family change their surname and wanted Nanlin to become part of North Vietnam from then on.
Wouldn't it be nice to have the whole world unified? In a few years, she would also take Xie Siwei's ashes to North Vietnam.
See how magnificent the vast territories and towering snow-capped mountains are in his paintings.
The dragonfly hovering on the petals of the first lotus flowers landed on the back of Xie Sian's hand, which was as white as mutton-fat jade. The itchiness pulled her out of her memories.
"Lingruo, you'd better stay away from my third and fourth brothers."
It’s not just because Xie Hengzhi and Xie Wenzhi have bad intentions, but also because of Xie Chengyao.
The way he looked at Su Lingruo didn't seem unintentional.
"It's best to marry your beloved one as soon as possible."
Xie Sian was also doing this for Su Lingruo's own good. She was afraid that Xie Chengyao would do something and rob the girl.
It's a pity that her good intentions are destined to fail.
Xie Si'an didn't know that her good "brother" had already been granted marriage by the emperor's decree.
