Chapter 415: Do You Believe in Past and Present Lives?
Those who have a heart can find that there is something really wrong with the capital recently.
There is still some time before the 'great catastrophe' of the language of all the masters, but an atmosphere of panic has already spread in the capital.
Those who believe are terrified, and those who do not believe scoff at this. It's just that after the emperor personally issued the edict that day, there were not a few people who swayed from side to side.
At this time, the refuge place in the mouth of the people has been dragged by some people to occupy a seat, and some people who believe in Buddhism have also lived in the Buddhist temple early, chanting and praying for blessings.
There are those who are worried, and there are naturally people who don't take this seriously, they have always felt that the emperor is alarmist, if there is really a catastrophe, those things decided by the gods, how can mortals know?
So they don't have any rumors in the accident world at all, and they live how they want to live, which is no different from before. The only difference is that because of the edicts of several great masters and the emperor, coupled with the propaganda of the people who saw the 'Buddha's coming' in the restaurant that day, the evil cult demons have not had a good time recently.
In the past, some small tricks can fool a lot of people, but now no matter how good this trick is, no one cares about them, and even the people who take the initiative to report to the officials, although they don't know who is true and who is false, but some things would rather be believed than not, if the cult demon is really a pawn laid by the demon clan in the world, then helping the demon clan may be aiding the abuse.
Therefore, as soon as the cult demons go out to preach, there will suddenly be a large empty space around them, all of which are frightened people, and everyone is no longer willing to approach them.
And in such a tense atmosphere, a lot of things happened in connection, such as the prime minister was beheaded, but someone robbed the prison before he was killed, but unfortunately Mei Cangyun was not rescued, but only injured the officers and soldiers, and rescued two unimportant people.
Mei Cangyun was beheaded as scheduled, her round head fell to the ground, and she didn't blink an eye. may be unwilling, so before he died, he confessed that the real mastermind behind the scenes was the second prince Ye Shucheng, and this time the capital suddenly exploded again.
It's just that the matter is about the emperor's son, and everyone is skeptical about whether the second prince will be punished.
People say that officials protect each other, and officials are all like this, not to mention the sons and grandsons of dragons?
Everyone felt that maybe the emperor had known about these things for a long time, but just to cover them up, they launched Prime Minister Mei's family, but they were just a scapegoat.
Prime Minister Mei Cheng's family was destroyed and his family property was confiscated, in fact, the emperor did it for Fang Jianzhang and Fang Xiaoyu, and it was also for the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, just to not chill the hearts of military generals, so someone must stand up and bear the responsibility.
And everyone's suspicions are not unfounded. At least on that day, Shang Jingwei should have stopped the execution immediately and interrogated clearly after hearing Mei Cangyun shouting that the main messenger behind the scenes was the second prince, but he did the opposite, as if to cover up something, and did not listen to Prime Minister Mei at all, and immediately ordered Mei Cangyun to be killed.
A few days after Mei Cangyun's death, there has been no news in the palace about the emperor's disposal of the second prince, and while the people are disappointed, they have gradually forgotten about it, but occasionally mentioned the after-dinner conversation.
But only a few people know that the second prince Ye Shucheng has indeed had an accident.
The second prince was placed under house arrest. Together with Concubine Zhou, she was also confined to the palace by the emperor, and she was not allowed to summon her, she was not allowed to go out, and no one was allowed to visit until the truth was clarified.
Why the mother and son of Zhou Guifei and the second prince were placed under house arrest, only a few people know. But the news of the two being placed under house arrest still spread among some people, but the emperor did not say much, so the news has been suppressed.
But within two days, it became clear that Ye Shucheng was not the emperor's son, but that Zhou Guifei was replaced by a civet cat for the prince when she gave birth, and such news instantly spread throughout the aristocracy.
As a result, in the past few days that Ye Shucheng has been under house arrest, he has not come to see him for a day.
The emperor ordered that no one should be allowed to visit Zhou Guifei, but he did not say that he was not allowed to visit him, but he had been under house arrest in Prince Gong's mansion for several days, but he didn't even see a fly.
Ye Shucheng was full of bitterness.
Sure enough, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it. The so-called friend who used to dangle in front of him desperately, but now, he instantly sees him like a beast.
He was going out, but there were guards outside. All the guards are good hands in the palace, and with his ability, it is impossible to break in.
Ye Shucheng was anxious. He was incompatible with his father's blood, no matter what means his mother used, or whether he was really an imposter who was transferred, he didn't care anymore. For the sake of now, what he urgently learns is how to save his life, even if he escapes from the cage-like palace of Prince Gong, whether it is the end of the world, or incognito, he doesn't even have time to think about whether there is a chance to make a comeback. In the face of life, every qiē is empty.
It's just that all his people are controlled by the guards in the palace, and his own martial arts are not enough to escape from under the noses of these guards. Originally, he hoped that the so-called friends who often revolved around him would have one or better, and maybe be able to help him, but in the end, for many days, no one came to see him, as if he had not existed in the first place.
Ye Shucheng was irritable in his heart, he couldn't get out and couldn't get out, and it was inevitable to be cranky when he stayed here. He kicked the table hard, but unfortunately he didn't knock it over, but his foot shook and hurt.
"Who's ahead? Stop coming! Ye Shucheng fell asleep on the table in a daze, and it wasn't until he was woken up by the voice of the guards outside that he realized that someone might have come.
Ye Shucheng was a little happy in his heart, and he didn't know who came to visit him under such great pressure. He silently decided that if there was a chance to make a comeback in the future, he would treat this person well.
So, with trepidation, he gazed at the door in front of him, and wondered who would stand outside the silence when it opened.
There was a creaking sound, and the door slowly opened. When the face of the visitor was completely exposed to Ye Shucheng's sight, the original anxious expectation fell to the freezing point in an instant.
"What are you here to do? Do you want to send this king on the road? Ye Shucheng noticed that the other party was carrying a pot of wine in his hand and two wine glasses in the other hand, and subconsciously thought that this wine was poisonous wine, maybe his father had made a decision to put him to death.
At this point, he was no longer so nervous. He was originally a person who wanted to compete for the world, and he should have seen life and death a long time ago. Once the competition for the position of the prince fails, and finally the crown prince ascends the throne, it is conceivable that he will never have a good life. Even if the prince is benevolent, it will never be possible to let him, the person who has harmed him repeatedly, live, the difference is only whether the excuse he finds to kill can deceive the world.
Just the end of the king and the defeat, just one life, what's so terrible?
The visitor stepped into the room and looked left and right at the room, his expression so complicated that he couldn't tell what it felt.
"That's how the prince treats guests?" When this man spoke, there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes.
"This king has come to such an end, what kind of guests are he qualified to entertain? If you want to sit and sit, and you want to stand, the king will not hinder you. Ye Shucheng's tone was not very good. Even if he looked down on life and death, what he was waiting for in the original extreme expectation was despair, and it was strange that he could have a good face for this person who sent him despair.
"The prince is really cold. Obviously, I once wanted to marry someone else and be a princess. The person who came didn't care what expression Ye Shucheng gave him, but he didn't mind falling into the well a little when he was down.
Ye Shucheng held back the nameless fire in his belly, and all of them exploded under this person's words.
It's just that he wasn't too irritable, but suppressed the urge to kill, and said to the visitor with disdain: "Fang Xiaoyu, you don't have a weird yin and yang here!" What did this king do wrong to make you go against this king again and again? ”
Fang Xiaoyu was about to say something, but Ye Shucheng didn't give her a chance to speak, but continued to say angrily: "Do you want to say that this king wants to marry you not because he likes you, but because of the 500,000 soldiers of the Zhenyuan army?" What's wrong with that! Since ancient times, the name of the parents has been the words of the matchmaker, which of those women who have become relatives has to choose their own marriage? This king may not love you, or he may have to marry you for the sake of the 500,000 military power, but after marrying you as a concubine, this king can still treat you well, give you the best, give you the most luxurious, and let you have no worries for a lifetime. When this king gets the throne one day, you are the queen mother of the world, why are you still dissatisfied? ”
Ye Shucheng has always felt that Fang Xiaoyu is a freak, even if he is not satisfied with this marriage, it is a big deal to refuse, why is there any need to go against him again and again?
What good does offending a prince do to her? Especially a prince who is qualified to compete for the throne, hasn't she ever thought about what will happen if the crown prince fails one day and he succeeds, offending him to death?
He originally thought that the reason why Fang Xiaoyu offended him was because he wanted to show his loyalty to the prince. No matter who he is, he is a person who is taboo and two-faced, and offending him to death is tantamount to pleasing the prince. But it makes sense.
Gradually, however, he discovered that this did not seem to be the case. Fang Xiaoyu and the prince have never been flattering, but they have maintained a certain distance, even if the prince and Ye Xici have such an iron relationship, Fang Xiaoyu has never really been close to the prince.
How could such an attitude be what he guessed, just to please the prince?
Fang Xiaoyu seemed to be stunned for a moment because of Ye Shucheng's words, and then looked at Ye Shucheng with a very strange expression, looking at Ye Shucheng uncomfortable.
"Can the prince believe in the past and present lives?" Fang Xiaoyu suddenly asked, this made Ye Shucheng feel inexplicable.
"You want to show off your identity as a Buddha again? You are just deceiving others, and you want to deceive this king? Dream! Ye Shucheng snorted disdainfully.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled, put down the wine jug in his hand, and then walked around the room a few times, and sighed: "This place is really the same as it was, no matter how many years have passed, it is exactly the same as in my memory. ”
Ye Shucheng frowned, not knowing what Fang Xiaoyu was talking about.
But Fang Xiaoyu didn't expect him to understand, but smiled: "Lord Wang, if I was really willing to marry you as a concubine at that time, would you really treat me well, give me a worry-free life, and let my mother honor the world?" ”
Ye Shucheng unconsciously took a step back, he felt that Fang Xiaoyu was very wrong today.
It's so gentle.
That's right, Fang Xiaoyu at this time has absolutely nothing to do with gentleness, but in Ye Shucheng's memory, this is already Fang Xiaoyu's most gentle gesture when facing him.
Originally, it was either disdainful, ridiculed, or framed, anyway, every time I saw him, he was yin and yang, which made people extremely uncomfortable.
But what's going on today? Is it because he is about to be given death, pity him, that is why he gives him a good look?
"That's nature."
Extremely perfunctory answer. It's a lie he's already told that even he has to believe.
"But in his previous life, the prince didn't do this." Fang Xiaoyu's voice was a little ethereal, and he continued: "In my previous life, I married you as the second princess, and the Zhenyuan army was also used by you, helping you win the world, and doing your best for you, but you were in cahoots with the Meichun water wolf, and burned me to death in the second prince's mansion with a fire. Fortunately, the mercy of the heavens, let me dream back to today, you use the same tricks, the same sweet words, the same beautiful promise to ask for marriage, in my opinion, it is like a farce, the prince does not need to deceive himself, I will not be stupid to fall into it and have no way to extricate myself. ”
"Didn't the prince always understand why I had to be the enemy of the prince several times? If I say that I hate it, will the prince believe it? Fang Xiaoyu said this, but his face was expressionless. It's like telling a story you just heard, which has nothing to do with you, but is just gossip that you have to gossip.
However, Ye Shucheng felt cold all over.
He wasn't sure if there was such a thing as a past life and a present life in this world, but Fang Xiaoyu's words really pierced his heart like a thorn.
In Fang Xiaoyu's words, he heard a story.
The prince wanted to marry a girl for the sake of military power, and the girl also believed in the prince's promise and was willing to marry. After getting married, she helped him take care of the prince's mansion, and all the power of her mother's family was used by the prince. The prince also sweetly promised not to fail her, but in the end he still crossed the river and demolished the bridge, leaving the girl to death. The girl was resentful, and she was reborn through the barrier of time and space and returned to the present, naturally seeing that the prince was resentful in every way......
I have to say that Ye Shucheng's imagination is also quite rich, of course, thanks to Fang Xiaoyu's guidance.
What Fang Xiaoyu said was not wrong, but the girl had a deep affection for the prince, helping him manage the backyard, helping her seize the world, and resentment after being killed were all nonsense from Fang Xiaoyu.
In her previous life, let alone helping him manage the backyard, even if the Second Prince's Mansion was burned by fire, she didn't bother to pour water to rescue. Even if all the money in the family is gnawed by the rats, she can watch the rats being held to death with peace of mind.
But Ye Shucheng was entangled.
Is what Fang Xiaoyu said true or false?
This is a time when many people believe in ghosts and gods, and even if there is such an experience, it does not seem unacceptable.
It's just that if it's really as she said, then there is a good explanation for the fact that she has always been unable to get along with herself.
By the way, the ability to predict natural disasters has also been explained.
I experienced it in my previous life. (To be continued.) )
