7. Mother Of The Past

"Are you sure?"

"Very sure Noble Lady Chen, I've seen it as well as most of the servants, the Honorable Consort Jia has truly gone Mad, he even cuts himself and shouting at at night."

Noble Lady Chen smiles, soon she through a bag of ingots to the servant as she touches her chin. It's no secret that the Honorable Consort Jia has great fertility and temperament not mention his father being a good friend of the emperor guarantee that it won't be long until he is sitting as empress he's barely been here for a year and he already given birth which already won the Empress Dowager on her side.

Lady Chen can't let this happen, she won't she will bring him down before that can happen.

Within the garden Jia Hui Liang is humming singing a melody while painting a portrait under the gazebo, this melody was the only thing  that gave him a bit of solace during the time of torture.

🎶Soon the fairy flew to the sky wishing the farmer one last goodbye until the day in the heavens they will meet again, Na~Na~Na, and in the heavens they shall meet again🎶

Thinking about it this was the song his brother use to sing in secret and he overheard one day peeking on his brother but at the time his brother was only thirteen (13) and it was their mother's anniversary, it was a tender and vulnerable moment for him so when he caught him peeking he lashed out and told him that he killed their mother. Jia Hui Liang who was only 5 at the time couldn't understand grief and was traumatized forever straining the relationship between him and his brother.

Now Jia Hui Liang sort understands no one wants to be seen or be disrupted during such a precious moment a moment of peace and connection a moment where you can finally be human. But in the end he also understands that his brother was just a child grieving the lost of a mother that would never return.

Jia Hui Liang only understood in his past life that his brother didn't in fact hate him but in fact didn't know to approach after that time and because they didn't share any hobbies it was just natural they divided and just as he was about to mend that broken relationship, the emperor send out his brother to a mission knowing it was a set up and had his brother killed. His brother who was a fool for his family died for his family, a Noble death one would call if only it wasn't planned.

Jia Hui Liang clench his teeth as he soon use red paint then swipe a line between the two lovers to create a bloody wall, he wants no happy endings no forbidden love with happiness after. He wants pain and suffering.

Jia Hui Liang didn't always pray for the madness, but the eighteen (18) years of bullying, torment and suffering he endured made him hard to seek peace when he wasn't given that and everyone who ever gave him a sense of sanity and peace was taken away from him or betray him.

Like for instance his first child, Zhuang Yu Heng, he was a beautiful child only the joy of his world then upon a bright day one evening the emperor and Concubine Fan visited and as of entrance by his little baby concubine Fan became smitten.

From small little teases to straight gestures, the emperor subtle took his son away in guise of spending time with him. But the naive him never thought that the emperor be so vicious, taking his son to Concubine Fan behind his back manipulating his young son to replace him so he could please the bitch and slowly but surely Zhuang Yu Heng no longer saw him as his mother.

From crying to throwing fits, his son didn't want him anymore and he had to let him go only for him to call concubine Fan mother.

And with that child on his side, concubine Fan use him to bully Jia Hui Liang. To think the child he gave birth to would be the one to ultimately step on him and show him no mercy. What is mercy anyways?

There is no such thing as mercy, so there shall be none to give.

First Life

"Does little Yu er likes me?"

"Yesh,"

"Then why don't he call me mama?"

"Bwut, ywour nwot mama,"

"But I am Yu er, I'm your father's wife so I am also mama,"

"Ywour mama? Bwut ywour nwot mama,"

"I am, Yu er go on call me mama,"

The baby looks at him uncomfortably then looks away for a moment, he plays with his fingers soon as he hesitates about to say it Jia Hui Liang came with the tea.

"Concubine Fan, don't say such things to Xiao Yu he'll be confused," Jia Hui Liang said sternly.

"I'm only joking, since we both share husband I was thinking it'd be okay for him to call me mama, you know for fun." Concubine Fan said joking.

"We share husband not children, if you so eagerly want to be a mother then let his imperial majesty impregnate you or adopt but please don't confuse little Yu er," Jia Hui Liang said very concern.

Concubine Fan darkens for a moment but then laughs, "most Honorable Master Jia, you're being too serious, it's a joke."

Jia Hui Liang breathes and calms down sharing the tea with him and then feeding the young prince with snacks. Jia Hui Liang had no idea that this event would bring tension between him and their husband.

"Don't you think you were being too harsh?! Weimin adores Yu er it's only natural for him to joke around,"

"Tbat joke could confuse Yu er! It doesn't feel right!"

"It's rare for a spouses in this harem to like each other's children much less adore, why must you make it a problem?!" The emperor grabs Jia Hui Liang's wrist looking at him.

"I am not making it a problem! And if he cannot do as I say and this going to be an issue then let him not visit! The less time he is with Yu er the less he shall feel,"

"Jia Hui Liang, You!!"

"I've stand my grounds!"

The emperor closes his eyes calming down, "fine, you may leave,"

The emperor release his wrist and he slowly bows, "May blessings befallen upon the heavenly son and he shall live for a thousand years," Jia Hui Liang solemnly before leaving sealing his fate.
