"What?" The emperor frowned and asked. He couldn't believe the prince's reaction at all www.biquge.info

The prince replied slowly and clearly, "The retainer chooses her." ”

The emperor was so angry that he trembled, stretched out his hand and slapped the prince fiercely, and said, "I will raise such a promising son as you!" ”

Gonggong Zhang was anxious when he heard it - the emperor's words were too much, and the prince has always been very promising.

However, it is indeed ...... in dealing with Wen Yingsu

Grandpa Zhang didn't know who to help for a while, and stood there at a loss.

The prince was silent. At this time, it is more wrong to say more.

Now, what is more important to him than saving Wen Yingsu's life?

Judging from the current situation, he is not the crown prince, he can be the king of Pei, Zhao Yuxian, who is kind by nature and smart, as long as he tempers it a little, he will definitely be able to take on this important task. Therefore, regarding the succession to the throne, it will not fall to the point of nothingness.

Seeing that he did not hesitate at all, the emperor became more and more angry, and forced him to look at the prince and asked, "Have you thought clearly?" ”

The prince nodded.

The emperor sighed. There was emotion, disappointment, and a little remorse in this sigh. I regret how I said such a thing.

Now that the crown prince has made such a choice, he can't take it back if he wants to.

Seeing this situation, Gonggong Zhang was very unhappy, and hurriedly knelt down to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the best heir to the throne, please see that the country needs him, and take back his previous words." ”

The emperor said angrily: "Are you also the opposite? ”

Gonggong Zhang hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"Then obediently shut up."

Father-in-law Zhang had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

The emperor came to the crown prince and said, "Since you have thought it through, I will issue a letter of withdrawal tomorrow." You can go back now. ”

"Your Majesty, by all means." Father-in-law Zhang couldn't help but speak again.

The emperor glared at Gonggong Zhang.

Gonggong Zhang was still not afraid and said: "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better to make a decision on this matter after discussing it with the ministers tomorrow?" ”

The emperor sneered: "Father-in-law Zhang, do you think that the Tian family has to show all their ugliness to the surface?" ”

Gonggong Zhang didn't dare to say anything more, but kept glancing at the prince, hoping that the prince would beg the emperor again.

But the crown prince did not ask again, but respectfully saluted the emperor and then withdrew.

The emperor let the captain of the Jinyi guard come in and ordered: "Guard the East Palace and Your Highness well." ”

When the prince heard this, he smiled bitterly.

Then, this is also the meaning of imprisoning the prince in the East Palace.

The prince walked back to the East Palace as usual, and the brocade guards also followed closely with his speed.

When they returned to the gate of the East Palace, the prince said to them, "Just stay here." ”

They froze for a moment, then nodded.

The prince stepped through the door and strode towards the princess's residence.

Seeing the crown prince coming back, the crown princess immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty didn't embarrass you, did you?" ”

Hearing that the crown prince and Wen Zhaoxun were summoned by the emperor, the crown princess immediately realized that the matter was extraordinary, and just now she went to invite Yueju to find Wen Yingsu, but Wen Yingsu refused to say anything, so she became even more nervous.

Now that she saw that the prince had come back safely, she dared to breathe a sigh of relief, but she was still a little apprehensive in her heart.

The prince shook his head and asked, "What about the little princess?" ”

"Asleep."

So the prince went into the bedroom to look.

The little lord is indeed asleep, his face is red and fluttering, and his little mouth is moving, which is very cute.

The prince looked at her fixedly, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Maybe soon, she won't be a little princess.

But the child won't mind this, the prince turned around and said to the crown princess, "I'll sleep with Wen Zhaoxun tonight." ”

"Hmm." The crown princess nodded as if she had heard something very ordinary.

The crown prince looked at the crown princess and said, "Go first."

"Why don't you have dinner here?"

"No, I still have something to tell Wen Zhaoxun."

"Well, then you can go quickly."

When the prince came in, Wen Yingsu was breastfeeding Xiao Shizi, although she didn't pull her clothes up very high, he also saw her white breasts at a glance, and his blood suddenly accelerated.

He sat down next to her.

She asked him, "What did Your Highness say to Your Majesty later?" ”

The crown prince reached out and took her hand, rubbed it gently, and said, "Your Majesty has promised to spare you the death penalty." ”

Wen Ying was stunned, looked at him intently, for a long time, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

She didn't ask the prince what conditions he had negotiated with the emperor, but she had already vaguely guessed that he was coming. After feeding Xiao Shizi milk, Wen Yingsu handed Xiao Shizi to the nurse, took the prince's hand and said, "Your Highness, how about we go to the observation deck to see the scenery?" ”

At this time, it was already evening, and the sunset on the horizon was about to disappear completely, and the sky and the earth were shrouded in hazy night.

The prince smiled and took her hand and pulled her out the door.

The observation deck is built on the southwest side of the East Palace, and it is a tower-like building, about 20 zhang high.

Wen Yingsu and the prince climbed up the wooden staircase step by step, and when they reached the top of the tower, the two stood in front of the fence and looked into the distance.

From where they stood, they could overlook the small half of the capital.

At this time, many places have been lit up, and from a distance, it looks like thousands of lights are on the lights.

Wen Yingsu held the prince's hand and smiled: "The sea and the sky are boundless in the east, and the mountains and rivers are wide and long. The lights are on the four sides of the city, and the galaxy is in the middle of the water. ”①

The prince said quietly: "Climb high and look far away to hurt yourself, and the willow flowers bloom in the ancient city." The heyday has gone with the flowing water, and the yellow oriole is empty. ”②

Wen Ying smiled charmingly and said, "Your Highness is in a bad mood? ”

The prince smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

"Your Highness," Wen Yingsu squeezed his hand and said with a smile, "This picturesque country is nourished by the blood of generations and guarded by loyal souls one by one, and it will continue to prosper with the efforts of countless people." ”

The prince looked at her, trying to guess what she meant by saying this.

She didn't give him time to guess, and continued: "Your Highness is the bloodline of the Tian family, and it is also a rare material of the Ming Monarch, and the concubine very much hopes to see that His Highness will personally govern this country one day." ”

The prince suddenly realized, a trace of pain flashed on his face, and then he pretended to be happy and took her into his arms, saying, "Well, there will be such a day." ”

Wen Yingsu took the initiative to raise her head and kiss his lips, looked at him affectionately and said, "Your Highness, do you think you have any regrets in your life?" ”

"After meeting you, there is no more."

Wen Yingsu smiled and said, "After the concubine met you, she was gone." He also said, "If a person comes to this world once and has to leave in the end, if he can do something that is not only meaningful to him in his lifetime, it must be considered some merit." ”

The sadness in the prince's eyes suddenly intensified, and he looked at her intently and asked, "Why do you say all the words of life and death today?" ”

"It's because I see the scenery in front of me, and I feel a lot of feelings." Wen Yingsu said, and said: "Your Highness, this country needs you, and the people of the country also need you." ”

The prince was suddenly silent, he wanted to say, 'Your weight in my heart is not lighter than this', but he still held back.

He knew that if he said so, how deeply she was moved, how deep the guilt was.
