New Life of Broken Cedar - C100

When Mo Gu Han turned around, some raindrops fell from his umbrella and landed on Yi Nan Xuan’s body, wetting a large portion of his dark red shawl.

Yi Nan Xuan watched as Mo Gu Han walked away. He shouted at Mo Gu Han’s back with all his might, “My lord, could it be that the only thing you can see is Gu Mo Yan? I have been with you for so long, I have stayed with you more than he has, my father is a minister in the court, and he has nothing! Nothing! Why are you thinking about him now that he’s finally gone? How am I not better than him? Is it because looks aren’t enough? Was his background bad? He’s clearly the one who’s been abandoned! ” His hoarse voice sounded especially desolate and powerless in this rainy day. He tried his best to shout at Mo Gu Han’s back, as if he was going to tell Mo Gu Han about all the grievances he had suffered in the past two years before he was willing to give up.

In the imperial harem, Yi Nanxuan shared the position of imperial concubine with someone who was inferior to him. He was clearly the most legitimate one, so why was it that all the imperial concubines in the imperial palace were Young Master Gu and Lady Gu? As long as he wanted something, the first thing the servants said was that the king had already reserved the position for Imperial Concubine Gu, so it was better to choose another imperial concubine instead. Why is he pampered by the king everywhere?

Yi Nanxuan still remembered one time when she had caught his eye on a bright yellow silk cloth. The silk in her hand had been so smooth and cool that she had intended to tell the engineers to make it as soon as possible so she could wear it before the summer heat. When he returned, he found out that Imperial Concubine Gu had also taken a fancy to the material and asked the king to give it to him. In fact, these people wouldn’t be too angry with him, so he gave it to her, but he didn’t think that one day he would see this piece of clothing on a servant. The thing he was looking forward to was abandoned by Gu Moyan just like that. What angered him even more was that he trampled over the thing the king had given him just like that. After torturing the servant, he found out that Gu Moyan had indeed given him clothes. He happened to be leaving the palace today and wanted to show them to his friends. He immediately killed the servant, and his clothes were dyed red. He took them to burn.

Perhaps they did not know about this matter, but from that day onwards, Yi Nan Xuan began to resent Gu Mo Yan. It was also during that banquet, he would fight with Gu Mo Yan for that Luminous Pearl, but he did not have the backing of a minister, so Yi Nan Xuan won so easily that time, and indirectly locked Gu Mo Yan up in the Clear Stream Restaurant.

Yi Nanxuan stood in the rain, holding up an umbrella. His mind was replaying the scene of Gu Moyan and Mo Gu Han together, watching himself turn from an ignorant youth who was looking forward to discussing matters with his husband into a jealous man.

A suffocating pain came from Yi Nanxuan’s neck. The paper umbrella in her hands fell to the ground. Her hands reflexively tried to pry them away from her neck.

His face slowly paled, the blood faded from his face, and his pupils collapsed. His legs kicked powerlessly in the air twice, but he still heard his despairing words. “You don’t have the qualifications to compare with him.”

Then the hand around his neck gave way and he fell to the wet ground, one or two peonies on a red paper umbrella, rolling around him twice. One man and one umbrella laid on the ground. The rain became even more urgent, but Yi Nanxuan helplessly went to hold up the umbrella. This was because the following words didn’t even give him the time to despair.
