Chapter 010: From Love to Fear

Hearing herself, Hui Lan was stunned on the spot. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask much, and raised his hand to hit Zhu Di, but Ah Xiu stopped him: "The prince is merciful!" Di'er is still young, and her words are unscrupulous. Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his hand stiffly, in the end because it was her, but he was a little displeased: "Ah Xiu, what's the use of you protecting such an unfilial son who has no royal rules?" If you don't beat him today, you won't know what trouble will happen in the future! ”

Ah Xiu also shouted: Where do you really want to protect him, but it happened suddenly, and I stopped it without having time to think about it, probably because this kid is still young and sympathetic. It's your birthday, so don't be upset. Ah Xiu smiled slightly: "What kind of day is today?" There is more bad luck for no reason, Di'er is still young, so I just need to control him more. Tianying is also a child compared to me, even if the prince is angry, for the sake of her birthday, let's spare her. ”

When Lian'er saw her pleading for the enemy, she muttered in her heart: It's so strange today, my sister has always been good-natured, but she has a bit of determination, what's wrong now? She was tired of such a big thing, and she didn't even pay attention to it! Thinking of this, he quietly looked at Ah Xiu in front of him, and felt a little strange.

On the stage, it was a small troupe that had just been replaced, although it was not as magnificent as the troupe of the Litang Pavilion during the day, but it was also one of the best teams in the Tianfu. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, many people in the courtyard also sighed in unison, and the quiet people felt chills behind them.

This silent silence, like the tip of a knife twisting and cutting back and forth in the hearts of Hui Lan and Tianying, this taste of hardship and hopelessness and hanging by a thread is really hard to bear. In Tianying's opinion, Hui Lan is nothing more than moving to another courtyard, squatting in the cold palace for a few days, having a woman by her side, and her father being a minister of the humerus, so she won't be too down; He has nothing to do, and he has no sisters and brothers to help him, and now life and death are only waiting for the prince to say a word: if he listens to the princess, he will be able to live, and if he doesn't listen, he will die on the spot.

Tianying didn't dare to make a mistake, just crying silently, hating herself for carefully trying to instigate, and now she is falling short, but she has to rely on this high-ranking woman to intercede for herself, no matter whether she succeeds or fails, she is a loser, the heart of the people has been returned to her, whether she lives or dies, her pleading has won a good reputation for her! Let's go! The winner, the prince, the loser, the thief, whether they are dead or alive, only seek a quick decision.

It was already dark, and the lights in the courtyard were as bright as day. A lone goose flew over the courtyard, I don't know if it was lost or left alone due to the delay of things, but the slaughter in the courtyard was heavier. Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the sky and was silent for a long time, but there was a tear looming in the corner of his eye, but he blinked hard and finally disappeared.

"Tianying, let me ask you: Do you hate the princess? Or do you hate me? Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to Tianying, who was crying silently in the distance, "Although you didn't grow up in the Shuai Mansion, you should have heard how the Tianxu Tianjue brothers treated me, regardless of the past, I only ask you this sentence: Do you hate?" Who do you hate? Why hate? ”

A few words, somehow, it is not Zhu Yuanzhang's style, the prince who did not hesitate to kill and decide, attack the enemy for a hundred miles and take people's heads, and now he actually said that he doesn't care about the past, is it the aftermath? Everyone present looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Tianying, waiting for the dissolution of this entanglement.

Tianying on the ground is even more suspicious: the past is not counted, the past is not counted. I have never seen him so generous to anyone, and no one but the princess will be forgiven for his mistakes. How can this question be answered now? The prince still misses the old love, otherwise how can he ask this?

After thinking about it again and again, the prince seems to be impatient to wait, Tianying has a little more determination to break the wrist of a strong man at the moment, and he will not be favored again after today, and the princess has already gained the upper hand, so what is the difference between life and death? So he didn't think about anything else, and replied straightly: "I hate." hates the prince, hates the princess, and hates herself even more for being a woman and a concubine. ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and twisted his beard silently, Tianying felt a lot more comfortable, so he simply said: "I love the prince deeply, but I have no choice but to be the daughter of the Guo family, although my mother has no name until she dies, Tianxu Tianjue is still my brother." No matter how wrong my father and brothers are, after all, they are my dearest people, if I want to live, I must be patient and careful, I am jealous of my sisters and sisters, but my life is lost. ”

"You hate me, do you hate Ah Xiu?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and asked again. Everyone was even more surprised, the prince was still in the shape of charcoal and oil in front of him, and now the love between children and daughters has grown? Zhang Shun's heart was also empty for a while: Could it be that the prince is sad to pass the beauty pass after all? Then I was disrespectful to Guo's push and shove just now, will I suffer disasters in the future?

Ah Xiu was a little more jealous, and thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to be a beauty, so he stared at Tianying's decomposition. Tianying was also surprised, and thought about it: "I hate." hates her for having no father and brother, but she is loved by the prince! Although my background is not as good as Sister Lian and Sister Huilan, I am always a little stronger than her, and I don't lose to anyone in terms of appearance and appearance, why does the prince refuse to look at me more? Maybe the prince has given enough concubines, but I know that the prince is not as good as my sister. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "That's it, you actually hate it, I go to you more often on weekdays, it's all because you are supple and smart, and you know how to be polite, I didn't expect you to be so confused!" Tianying was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Why did the prince say this?" ”

"You only say that she is high and beautiful, but you don't know how deep her affection for this king is, and I am afraid that all of you together are not as good as her! In the twelfth year, she was already a military advisor under your father's account, and in Haozhou City, everyone said that I was meticulous, but she asked your father to protect my life. Later, I asked your father to marry her and marry her. ”

"On the day I got married, I had no long things and no bride price, but Ah Xiu didn't care, and only said one thing to me: I don't dislike you for looking ugly, don't dislike my big feet. Others don't understand the meaning of these words, but I understand them very well! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice trembled a little: "Women only suffer from gains and losses in front of the people they love, so they said the big foot thing, and she blew herself up to be ugly, just to make me feel comfortable." I am like this, I am grateful that she is willing to marry, and she is so careful and comforting me, who of you can do it? ”

She said that I am not a thing in the pool, and that even if I want this world, she will help me, and that which of you can do this kind of wholeheartedness? She was worried about her heirs, so she accepted Lian'er and Huilan into the mansion for me, wanting me to have more heirs. But among your many concubines, which one of you married me because he loved me, and which one of you was willing to share with others the person he loved?! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little more angry: "Tianying, when your two brothers found someone to murder me, your father tied me in the stable without asking the reason, and did not give me water. Ah Xiu's calm temperament, for me to eat a hot meal, rushed to see me with the hot pancakes into his chest; In order to see me arguing with the sergeants, to see me being wronged and weeping for me, the stables were so clammy and cold, but she smiled with tears as she watched me eat hot cakes. Who of you can do that?! ”

Ah Xiu blushed when he heard this, it turned out that he had some unintentional actions, and he was so attentive! came over to hold Zhu Yuanzhang's left arm, not wanting him to mention the sadness of the old days again, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at her with an expression and shook his head, and continued to say to everyone: "Not to mention, for the arrow I blocked on Peng Ze, the tragic decision to protect me with my life!" Now that I dominate one side and you are the king of Wu, who of you will make soup for me with your own hands? ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang scoffed: "You are all just for your own selfishness, every single one of them is!" If it were you that day, which of you would have given your life?! Now it's better to hate her than to hate me, it's because I can't bear her urging and admit you into the house, which has added so much trouble to her! ”

"She is my only wife, and she has never embarrassed any of you. Your child, she hurts a little more than what she gave birth to, and there are concubines in the house, which one doesn't eat better than her? Especially you-" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Huilan with his hand, "You know best in your heart!" Hui Lan was startled and nodded hurriedly.

"For so many years, you don't know what to do, drill camp jealousy, if it wasn't too much, when did she care? I can punish Pei Ru lightly on the same day, how can I be punished severely? Aren't you thinking about killing a hundred people, so that you can be a little more jealous, and don't give her more trouble? Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Tianying's face: "Now let me ask you, do you still hate her?" Tianying was flustered when she heard this: she was clear about what the prince said, but she never thought about it deeply, and now she was wrong?! No, no, no! I'm not wrong, it's the way of the world that's wrong, I should have met the prince first!

Tianying smiled sadly: "It turns out that I am stupid." Now I don't hate her, I only hate myself: why is Tianying not her, when she first met the prince? I can do what she can do, but it's a pity that it's wrong. Now no matter how deep Tianying's affection is, the prince can't see it, just because I came late, I will be to blame. ”

Everyone only said that she pleaded guilty, but Ah Xiu's eyes jumped and her heart sank: although this is self-defense, she has some bad meaning! Sensing this, Ah Xiu made preparations. Sure enough, Tianying's laughter was even more poignant, more wanton, and when everyone was laughing, she stopped abruptly, and suddenly pulled out the hairpin and stabbed herself!

Ah Xiu had already noticed that she had the intention of killing herself, and when she saw that she was moving, she had already stepped forward, although she was very strong in self-denial, Ah Xiu still slowed down her movements, and the hairpin deflected away and passed by her neck. Zhu Yuanzhang and everyone were frightened, Ah Xiu snatched the hairpin with all his might, and raised his hand to slap him: "Confused thing, you are dead, what kind of face do you use to see your father and handsome?!"
