The mountains and rivers have not changed, and it is difficult for old friends to return.
That year, the palace changed, and Qi Zhao was taken out of the palace by the general and hid in the general's mansion. The general told him: If you want to survive, you must learn to hide - hide your identity, hide your edge, and hide all your unwanted thoughts.
He hid for more than ten years, hiding his life experience, hiding his ambition, and hiding his sincerity for Wei Ning - or he thought it was just "a little bit".
He hid until the day he ascended the throne, and hid until Wei Ning became his queen. He thought he was hiding well until everyone in the general's palace was massacred, until Wei Ning was buried in a sea of fire, until he saw four words in the letter she left -
Orchid fruit.
He knelt in the empty hall and finally understood: he hid everything the general taught him to hide. But only the sincerity that he regarded as a "chess piece" was hidden until the end, and even he was deceived.
And another young man, Qi Yan, on the day he was promoted to the throne by his mother, he just wanted to find the little girl who said she wanted to marry him under the peach blossom tree.
He found it. She became his concubine, with a gentle smile, and he enjoyed every bowl of medicine she brought to her. He thought it was love, but he didn't know it until the moment the poison took hold -
Some people's tenderness is fatal.
The mountains and rivers remain the same, but where are the old friends?
This is a story about disguise and sincerity, hatred and affection - everyone in the story has learned to hide, but some people hide until the end, only to find that the things that should be kept most have already flowed away between their fingers.
