Chapter 271 Remarriage
In the magnificent palace, Cheng Wenwen spoke to Xu Jiaoran in a persuasive tone: "Empress, you are still young and have hope and a future. The child by your side is your most precious treasure. Do you know? For him, you must cheer up."
Xu Jiaoran slowly raised her head, with endless sorrow in her eyes: "What can I do? My heart is dead, and my love is gone."
However, Cheng Wenwen couldn't help but gently shook her head and said firmly: "Have you ever thought that if you sink into this, your son will lose not only a mother, but also a guide who will lead him to the bright road."
"In your child's heart, you are his strongest support. Do you want him to see you in so much pain and depression?" Cheng Wenwen's words were full of care and encouragement. "Your son is still young. He needs your strength and your love."
Xu Jiaoran's eyes flashed with confusion: "Of course I know...but what can I do?"
"Do you know why I am like this?" Xu Jiaoran suddenly spoke, her voice full of endless bitterness, "In this deep palace, I feel like I am trapped in a cage."
Cheng Wenwen gently held her hand: "I know, I've felt this way before."
When Cheng Wenwen traveled through time, she was also desperate, but even after despair, she still had to live!
"First, you have to live for yourself. You are the queen, the mother of the world. Your pain should not become a shackle that binds you."
Cheng Wenwen's words were like a clear spring, nourishing Xu Jiaoran's heart. "If you can't let go of the hatred in your heart, then for your son and for yourself, live well and make yourself and your loved ones live well."
"You should know how people outside scold me as a woman like me, right? A woman like me can only live in shame!"
"My queen, why do you care about other people's eyes? Men can have three wives and four concubines, so why can't you marry again? Just because you were more noble in the past, can't you stand those people's scolding? In fact, those people are mostly jealous of you, or they just can't stand you being nice! Then you have to live well and make them angry to death." Cheng Wenwen advised Xu Jiaoran.
"How can I live a good life? How can I be happy facing the person I hate the most?" Xu Jiaoran doesn't like Li Zhen.
"Your Majesty, I know that you don't like His Majesty, but it may be treasonous to say something like this, but do you like power? As long as you know how to use this power and how to grasp the situation, you will be able to win in this game of power." Cheng Wenwen said.
Xu Jiaoran's eyes flashed with doubt: "How...how should I use this power?"
"You should know that His Majesty has appointed your son as the crown prince. As long as your son ascends the throne, his power will be weakened. What you need to do is to pave the way for him and let him become the emperor smoothly."
Cheng Wenwen's voice became more and more confident. "In the process, you can slowly weaken his power and remove obstacles for him. In this way, when your son ascends the throne, he will have supreme power."
Xu Jiaoran's eyes gradually flashed with determination: "I understand. I want to stand up again for my son and for myself."
Cheng Wenwen nodded: "Yes. You have to believe in your own strength. Only you can decide your own destiny. What is a man? Power is the most important thing."
"Also, you have to remember. In this game of power, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends. Only interests are eternal. Therefore, you must know how to cooperate with others and how to use the power of others to achieve your own goals."
"And the most important thing is to believe in yourself. You are the queen and the most capable woman. You will definitely win this game."
Cheng Wenwen is persuading Xu Jiaoran, because this book is about the character of a loving wife, and she hopes that Xu Jiaoran can stand out.
Of course, if Xu Jiaoran couldn't stand up and instead turned around to sell herself, there was nothing she could do, but she would definitely not admit it! After all, she spoke so quietly that only Xu Jiaoran could hear it.
However, Xu Jiaoran still had some concerns and asked, "Li Ji, are you okay?"
Ever since Xu Jiaoran became depressed after learning about Li Ji's situation, Li Zhen stopped letting her know what was happening outside.
Cheng Wenwen said directly: "Although Li Ji's army was unstable some time ago, he has gained a fierce general these days, and now the court can't do anything about him."
"Who did he recruit?" Xu Jiaoran breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Wenwen attacked her again and said, "It was General Zhenbei. Li Ji married his daughter and took over his family."
Cheng Wenwen's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Xu Jiaoran's heart. Her eyes, which were once full of expectation, were now filled with deep sorrow. She knew that the man she once loved had already eliminated her from his world and made her his discarded child in his quest for power.
Cheng Wenwen looked at Xu Jiaoran's grief, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. She knew that this was the pain she had to endure and the reality she had to face. She gently held Xu Jiaoran's hand, trying to comfort her: "Queen, listen to me, all men are like this. For the sake of power and status, they can easily abandon the woman they once loved. However, you must also understand that this world is not only about love, you also have your own world. You have to be strong, you can do it."
Xu Jiaoran was silent, but her heart was full of ups and downs. Her heart was like a turbulent sea, unable to calm down for a while. However, she also understood Cheng Wenwen's words, that a man could abandon a woman so easily. A trace of coldness rose in her heart, which was a mockery and despair of herself. However, Cheng Wenwen's words also gave her a hint of enlightenment. Yes, she still had her own world, and she couldn't be abandoned by a man like this.
Then, Xu Jiaoran raised her head. There was no more sadness and despair in her eyes. Instead, there was a firm belief. She said to Cheng Wenwen, "Madam, I know I must cheer up. I can't be defeated by the current situation. I want to live for myself."
Although her voice was trembling, it was no longer weak and powerless as before. However, at this moment, she still needed more time to laugh at it all.
"Madam, please go back first! I want to be alone for a while."
Cheng Wenwen nodded and left.
She told Xu Jiaoran that she hoped Xu Jiaoran could stand on her own feet, but she also did not tell Xu Jiaoran that after Li Ji ascended the throne, he still gave her the position of imperial concubine, but her life was not easy and her love for Li Ji gradually faded away.
She became the queen by enduring little by little in the harem and relying on Li Ji's love for her.
Although it was wrong to separate the lovers, Li Ji had three wives and four concubines in his harem, and this man was not much different from Li Zhen.
In order to save her life, Cheng Wenwen still chose to do so, hoping that the plot could change and Xu Jiaoran would no longer have a deep attachment to Li Ji.
