In May of the sixteenth year of Yuan Jing, Fu Yuying, the prince of Yeguo, filed a complaint against the eldest son of the Duke of Song against the eldest son of the Duke of Song, and the crime was treason.

Today, the emperor personally tried the case.

The rain fell, lightning and thunder, and the raindrops drifted down the eaves and fell far at my feet.

Holding an umbrella, I followed the two palace maids in front of me, walked past His Majesty, stepped into the Jinluan Palace, and crossed the hundred officials to the bottom of the dragon chair, flanked by countless courtiers.

I was wearing a coarse cloth coat and withered grass and linen shoes, and the only thing worthy of the status of the second lady of my country's government was the golden hairpin that my mother left me before she died.

I stopped, handed the umbrella to the palace maid beside me, and bowed to the person on the dragon chair, with an elegant demeanor and a calm voice, without any nervousness or fear: "The people ask the emperor for peace, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

Jinluan Palace, the place where hundreds of officials go to court. Since the beginning of the dynasty, apart from the Queen Mother and the Empress, I am the only woman who has stepped here. It's just that the purpose of my coming here is to testify against my eldest brother's rebellion, and although I know that doing so will affect the entire Guogong Mansion, I don't care.

Even, I couldn't ask for it early on.

Kneeling beside me was my father, Song Guogong, who had called for wind and rain in the court, and I was just one of his daughters, and he had been disgusted with me in every way since I was born.

"I ask you, is what the prince said true?"

The emperor's words interrupted my thoughts, and I smiled generously and replied: "The people dare not deceive the emperor, the eldest brother began to prepare for the rebellion a year ago, during which he recruited troops and bought a large number of weapons privately. These weapons were all hidden in the eldest brother's courtyard, and the emperor sent someone to check it. ”

"You son of a!" Song Guogong trembled when he heard my words, he stood up and wanted to hit me, but the prince stopped him and pushed him to the ground. I glanced at him, and he glared at me with a fierce gaze that looked like it was going to tear me apart, but I didn't care.

After so many years of tolerance, it is finally over, and it should be time for him to taste the taste of hating me but being helpless.

A white light suddenly appeared outside the hall, and for a moment my back flashed, and then there was a loud thunder, and the court was unusually quiet at the moment.

The loud thunder mixed with the sound of the violent rain was really creepy to hear, and I suddenly remembered that the day my mother died in childbirth, it was also such a thunderstorm.

On the day of childbirth, I connected my mother-in-law to invite her with the money she had accumulated for many years, and people said that women giving birth to children were like walking through the ghost gate, but no one in this huge Guogong Mansion cared about my mother's life and death.

The mother has always been bullied in the palace of the state, and those subordinates have been instructed by the master mother, and often treat the mother as widowed, and even the mother has never been kind to the moment when she is pregnant. My mother's diet was lacklustre, and her body was weakened because of the root of the disease when she gave birth to me, which caused her to lack of strength during childbirth, and finally died of dystocia.

I remember very well that my mother gave birth to a boy, and I took my younger brother from the hands of Wen Po to my mother, but my mother died before she could take a look at my younger brother. I hugged my crying brother and lay down in front of my mother's bed and cried bitterly, and when I saw that I was really pitiful, she comforted me that I wanted to live well with my brother.

When my grandmother heard the news, she forcibly snatched my brother from my arms, and without hesitation put her hand between his noses, no matter how I stopped it, it was useless.

That day, I carried my brother's body out of the house, I wanted to bury my poor brother, but I stood in the rain, and in a trance understood that no matter how big the world was, there was no place for him to live, I knelt on the ground and hugged him helplessly, crying loudly against the majestic rain.

Hatred, grief, incompetence, depression, and bitterness poured into my heart for a while, and I wanted to ask God why it was so unfair, my mother and sister, who had everything, but still wanted to take away my peaceful life with my mother.

Later, I learned that my mother allowed me to live in this world because I was a daughter and would never threaten my eldest brother's future.

I am helpless, I hate, with such a humble status as my mother, how much threat can his son have to his eldest brother? For the sake of that little risk, the housemother did not hesitate to kill a newborn child at will.

I woke up from the memories and tried my best to endure the unspeakable pain in my heart, I took a deep breath and forcibly held back the tears that were about to well-up in my eyes.

I smiled and turned around, looking condescendingly at my father, Song Guogong, the so-called father I hated all my life.

's mother should have married into Shangshufu and was the wife of her sweetheart with peace of mind, but if it weren't for his drunkenness and insulting his mother who married that day, why would his mother be so miserable in this life. After such a thing, his mother had to marry into the Guogong Mansion, but Song Guogong never felt the slightest guilt because of this, and he never treated her well after welcoming his mother into the house, and even after his mother's family was down, he completely forgot his mother in the corner.

He didn't love his mother, but he wouldn't let her go. His mother wanted to leave the mansion many times, but he was always reluctant to write a letter of resignation, just because he was afraid that his mother's widowhood would be exposed to the public and affect his reputation.

He didn't love my mother, and he hated me, and he often beat me when he was angry, and if it weren't for my mother protecting me with her thin body, maybe I would have died a long time ago.

And now, in this carved and jade-built Jinluan Palace, he was forced to kneel at my feet, without the majesty of the past, without the ruthlessness of Su Ri, and even the disgust in his eyes.

I know that he hates me very much, and he regrets that he didn't kill me sooner, but now he is helpless.

I looked at him condescendingly, and I was really happy to see him want to kill me.

"Son? Song Guogong laughed. In all fairness, what have you done to me in the sixteen years since I was born? You don't even want to give me a name, so how can you be worthy to be my father? ”

My words sounded very rebellious to the ears of others, so those princes and ministers who claimed to be famous nobles and had good conduct looked at me with all kinds of malicious eyes, and only the prince not far away, his eyes were as calm as water, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was full of interest in me.

I listened indifferently to Song Guogong's invective and the whispers of the courtiers below. After a moment, I turned to face the man on the dragon chair again, and said in a loud voice respectfully: "Please also ask the emperor to decide." ”

The emperor coughed and did not speak, but this cough made the noisy court instantly quiet.

Outside the hall, the faint sound of rain came into the hall, and the sound was very clear.

"How does the prince think this matter should be resolved?"

The crown prince replied: "Back to my father, even though Song Guogong is the father-in-law of his sons, but his eldest son has committed such a crime, and his sons think that if they are not dealt with according to the law, they may not be able to convince the public." ”

I chuckled and bowed.

In the final analysis, I am just a woman, and I should not stay too long in the Jinluan Palace, the rebellion of the Song family is already a certainty, and even the nine clans are in a catastrophe, so why do I need to wait until the result.

When I left the Jinluan Palace, the rain had already subsided, and Sister Yan not far away was rushing here. I walked slowly up to her and reached out to stop her.

I looked at her carefully, her hair bun had been scattered, the clothes on her body were also wet, and the lower corners of her dress were stained with some mud, which did not have the weight that a princess should have, and the palace maid behind her had just put away her umbrella and ran here.

In the past, my sister rarely touched me, and she always boasted of her dignity and basically did not want to associate with me. I vaguely remember that every time I saw her, she was always dressed in fine clothes, behaved dignifiedly, and always looked down on me with a haughty attitude.

She refused to be stopped by me, glaring at me angrily like a mythical beast, without any dignity and elegance, and said to me hatefully: "You helped those ministers murder my brother and father?!" Why are you doing this?! ”

I smiled, saluted her in a proper manner, and said, "The crown princess is confused, do you know that the minister in your mouth is none other than your husband?" As for your alleged murder... Oh, they deserve it. ”

When she heard me mention the prince, there was a moment of distraction in her eyes, and she grabbed my shoulder in disbelief, looking almost crazy: "Is it the prince...?" No way, the prince wouldn't do this to me... It must be you, it is you who deceived the prince, it is you who want to kill your father and brother!

As she spoke, she raised her hand, as if she wanted to slap me. I've had enough of her endless beatings and insults over the years in the Guogong Mansion, and now that the Song family is defeated, how can I be afraid of her?

I grabbed her hand and sneered: "Crown Princess, you are still pregnant with a child in your womb, don't be angry, the Song family has been defeated now, if you hurt the child, you will have no support in the future." ”

My words seemed to remind her, and she broke free of my hand and glared at me hatefully, "I'll clean you up when Bengu comes back."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to enter the Golden Luan Palace, but how could I let her do it? I took a step back and stopped her again: "The Jinluan Palace should not be the place where the crown princess went. ”

She gritted her teeth, "This palace is the wife of the crown prince, the crown princess of Ye Kingdom, what qualifications do you have to stop this palace?!" ”

I smiled coldly at her and whispered to her in her ear: "Rather than worrying about the Guogong Mansion, my sister is still worried about yourself, you must know that just one Guogong Mansion can't satisfy my revenge at all." ”
