Chapter 257: After many years, we will not see each other again
As for the officials who were dragged down, they were naturally demoted and sent out of Beijing, and there may be other punishments, which were enough to show His Majesty's attitude.
King Sheng had just left the palace, and a small sedan chair stopped in front of him, and the maid lifted the curtain, revealing Princess Tang's beautiful face.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, King Sheng had a number in his heart: "What's the matter with the imperial sister-in-law?"
"His Royal Highness King Sheng, I want to meet him." For so long, Princess Tang's mind has been fluctuating, especially after Mu Qi went to the frontier, even her daughter Chengping County Lord didn't have so much heart to take care of.
It wasn't until the news of the frontier reached the capital that she settled down and came to ask for a meeting.
"It's been so long since this matter, and the imperial sister-in-law only plans to see the imperial brother, is she going to listen to the events of the year, how did he explain it?"
In the royal dungeon, the Praetorian Guards led by King Sheng were responsible for guarding King Tang, and Princess Tang wanted to see King Tang, so she naturally wanted to come and say hello to King Sheng.
was slightly sarcastic like this, Princess Tang's face was still unshocked, and she just sat in the sedan chair and bowed slightly: "Your Highness Lao."
There were officials walking by from time to time, this was indeed not the place to talk, thinking that Ning Yao'er was still waiting for him to go back in the mansion, King Sheng's face softened a little.
"Okay, follow me."
The sedan chair lifted up and followed King Sheng in the direction of the royal dungeon.
In the sedan chair, Princess Tang silently clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, her face was calm, but her eyes were complicated.
In the royal dungeon, Princess Tang put on her hood and only brought a maid, which was extremely low-key.
King Sheng led the way in front, and there were people who saluted and said hello all the way, and walked in the dungeon for a while, and then they arrived at the place, so that people could illuminate the fire, and King Sheng looked at King Tang who came from the cell.
Xu is food in prison is not good, Tang Wang has really lost a lot of weight, and the contours of his face have also come out, and he can faintly see the similarities with King Sheng.
It's just that his eyes are dark and cloudy, and he doesn't have the mediocre and gentle appearance of the past at all, and he doesn't even pretend, it seems that he doesn't want to do it anymore.
"His Royal Highness King Sheng is busy all day, and it is really flattering that he still has time to come here to see me as an idler."
I don't know if it's because he hasn't spoken to anyone for a long time, Tang Wang's voice is extremely hoarse, like the sound of a fingernail scratching the wall, which is terrifying.
King Sheng's face was ordinary, and he sat on the Taishi chair brought by the guards behind him, and the hem of his luxurious brocade robe fluttered slightly in the air, reflecting that he was becoming more and more handsome.
"Brother Huang is right, I've been really busy lately, after all, I'm busy with the wedding, and I feel like it's a waste of time to be able to come and see you."
"Wedding?" Tang Wang's pupils contracted violently, and the shock was vividly expressed, his body arched violently, and slowly returned to normal, sneering, and his voice was hoarse and ugly.
"It's just a woman who has already given birth to children for others and married a woman, King Sheng has been thinking about it for so many years, and she is really infatuated."
If he knew that one day he would be like this, he would definitely send Ning Yao'er to a place where King Sheng would never find him. Or, the fragrance is gone.
King Sheng smiled extraordinarily generously, with a bit of faint snort.
"This kind of feeling, you naturally can't experience it, speaking of which, I also think it's a pity, obviously the identity and appearance of the imperial sister-in-law are the top existence among the nobles in the capital, why do you still want to die, and don't want to live a good life."
Shaking his head slightly, his expression was a little nostalgic: "If Yao'er and I could get married twenty years ago, I'm afraid that now I would rather walk all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland than continue to guard in the capital, you really don't know how to cherish it."
In the place where King Tang couldn't see next to her, Princess Tang stood there silently, her hood covering her face, making it difficult to see her expression, but the atmosphere around her was obviously a little gloomy.
Thinking of the noble and bright woman who married him, Tang Wang's eyes were lost for a moment, and he immediately recovered, and smiled lightly, with indescribable sarcasm.
"With me all these years, she has also been wronged, I know that she doesn't like me, marrying me is just a matter of circumstances, and now it's okay, she has nothing to do with the things I've done, and I'll finally be able to see the teacher in the future."
King Sheng glanced at Princess Tang, got up and waved his hand, and asked the guards to open the prison door: "Since you said so, it just so happens that the imperial sister-in-law has come to see you, so if you have anything to say, hurry up and say it."
Tang Wang looked up at King Sheng fiercely, but all he saw was King Sheng's back, and the familiar figure that suddenly appeared next to him.
The guards and others all retreated, Qiu Xiang glanced at Princess Tang worriedly, and also retreated to the side, without disturbing them to speak, and when there was no one around, Princess Tang took off her hood and looked at King Tang.
I haven't seen each other for more than a month, King Tang has lost a lot of weight, and Princess Tang is the same, the goose egg face has a little more prominent bones, which makes her a little more sharp and domineering.
“…… Have you lost weight? Tang Wang got up uneasily, but he didn't dare to walk out of the prison door, even if the prison door was open at this time, and the lock would fall off if he touched it lightly, but he didn't dare.
During this time in the prison cell, how many times did he dream back at midnight that he was thinking about being able to see Princess Tang, but this request seemed to have been held in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to let others know, for fear of affecting her.
"Thank you for your concern, the prince has also lost a lot of weight, although I don't know what the result will be in the future, the prince still has to take care of his body, Mo'er is very worried about you."
Looking at King Tang's appearance, Princess Tang's eyes were quiet, and she stood up straight, without saying anything and went into the cell to chat together.
"Is Mo'er okay? What about you? King Tang almost didn't dare to look at Princess Tang's face, so he could only whisper, if it weren't for the fact that it was too quiet here and no one else disturbed, I'm afraid Princess Tang wouldn't be able to hear it clearly.
"Fortunately, Ze'er went to the barbarians, and when he comes back, depending on His Majesty's intentions, he will change his title again, even if he is not the prince's respect in the future, as long as he can be by my side, I will be content. Just like before, I don't know what the prince does, so what does I care about? ”
Seeing King Tang's suddenly lonely expression, Princess Tang was still very firm.
"Now I don't know how His Majesty arranged for the prince, but it is estimated that we will not see each other in the future, so the prince will take care."
Gracefully bowing sideways, Princess Tang's expression slowly became relaxed, this time, it seemed that she had made an understanding of the things she had been worried about for a long time, and she would never see each other again after many years.
Seeing Princess Tang turn around without hesitation, King Tang took two steps forward, looking nervous: "Mingyue ......"
Princess Tang stopped, but she didn't look back, only Qing Lingling's voice came: "What?"
"In the end, I'm sorry for you all these years, there is a question that has always puzzled me all these years, I ask you now, can you answer me? Was it true that you married me back then? ”
The Tang King of that year can be said to be the most inconspicuous prince in the entire capital, there is a handsome and outstanding, martial arts, outstanding military achievements of His Royal Highness Sheng Wang, after the father is favored by the emperor, the brilliant King An, and the prince is the most trusted Ming Jun of the hundred officials.
It was only later that the crown prince succeeded to the throne, King An died tragically, King Sheng left, and other princes were implicated in various things, only he, because he had always been low-key, survived this purge.
The Tang King was not born high, and it stands to reason that it is the limit to be crowned the king of the county, but because there are very few princes at this time, in order to balance the power of the clan, he got the title of a prince, which is only in the eyes of others.
Later, Taifu died to save him, and his only daughter Jiang Mingyue got married, and it was another burst of scenery.
Even though there has been nothing in the Tang Palace, everything is respected by Princess Tang, but King Tang's heart is still a pimple about the things of that year.
Princess Tang's eyelashes drooped slightly, leaving a row of shadows under her eyes, covering the complicated thoughts in her eyes, and only after a long time did she speak.
"It's been so long since what happened back then, what's the point of pursuing it any further? I married you after all, even if I often regret it when I dream back at midnight, but at that time I didn't have the right to choose, if you can be single-minded, I think this life is the same. It's a pity that my father still saw the wrong person back then. ”
Even now, even if she already has a son and a daughter, as a princess, Princess Tang can still think of the demeanor of His Royal Highness King Sheng back then, but it can no longer be traced.
"I ......" turned out to be like this, and she also has feelings for herself. Complicated feelings came to his heart, and Tang Wang was a little speechless for a while, and he had the urge to cry.
"Lord Wang, I know what I should do sometimes, so if Ze'er's incident doesn't happen, I can forgive you for anything else, but I definitely can't do it without this one."
Princess Tang turned around and looked up at King Tang with a complicated expression, annoyance, and entanglement, and her tone was flat and relieved.
"In the future, Ze'er is afraid that he will also be a county king, which is already a gift from His Majesty. I will live in seclusion, not in the capital, please take care of yourself. ”
After saluting, Princess Tang turned to leave, her skirt rubbed against the ground, but her steps did not hesitate at all, leaving the Tang King in the cell behind him with a sudden collapse look, everything, quiet and terrible, seemed to be taken for granted.
When Princess Tang went out, King Sheng was wandering around the door of the cell, clasping his hands, his back behind him, his back was straight, and his expression was faintly smiling, I don't know if he thought of something beautiful.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, King Sheng turned his head and looked over, and saluted exceptionally: "Imperial sister-in-law."
Princess Tang replied: "Thank you for this incident, you don't need to tell me about his affairs in the future, this year after that, we will no longer meet, and let the past things pass."
"It's good that the imperial sister-in-law decides, it's not too early, the imperial sister-in-law should go back early."
The beauty is drifting away, and some things are missed after all. “”
