Chapter 223: Jujube Pit
"Mother is really looking for a good reason! At that time, my mother was already a prisoner, and she held the Golden Feather Camp in her hands, and she was in power in everything, and the imperial grandmother was already weak and could hardly come out of the palace. Why doesn't the mother fight, isn't it worth the mother's life and the daughter's lifelong loss of father? β
"How to try! I have been following the teachings of your imperial grandmother since I was a child, and I have never disobeyed her old man's mind in the slightest, and I would never dare to think of such a rebellious act as you do today! β
Zhu Zhiling saw that Emperor Ming Zhenzhen had words, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Then according to my mother's meaning, if I choose again, my mother will still do that?" β
"I'll tell you the truth, a year ago, when I mentioned this to Lu Aweng, I also felt that your imperial grandmother's will was too unkind, and I also hesitated whether I should resist the will in the first place, maybe I can save some people and things. But today I can see clearly, it is the emperor who is far-sighted, and I am too naΓ―ve. Ever since I promised Zhao Wuyin to be a concubine, you are a prince of the blue sea, who has been stirred up by his personal grudges, the heaven and the earth are upside down, and the gang is often broken! β
"Boundless personal grudges? It was my Zhu who wrongfully killed his father for his aunt's unbalanced strategy, where did he complain? Where does cause and effect come from? Besides, my father is such a gentle gentleman, how can you conclude that he will be rebellious in the future? You can't even trust your father, who else can you trust? β
"Then you come and tell me, now that even my own daughter can raise a sword against me, who else can I trust in this world?! Your father is a true gentleman, and he voluntarily drank poisoned wine for the sake of the future of the society, how can a narrow-minded and mean person like Zao Wuyun be compared to your father? How can I allow him to put a beak on your pillow in the future to put my Zhu family's country? β
"Speaking of which, my mother is still suspicious after all, and my father is really pitiful, he gave his life to a ruthless person like you, and you can't trust him when he arrives at the spring. Indeed, who else in this world can really be trusted by a mother? I'm afraid you can't even trust yourself. But your daughter is different from you, whether she succeeds or not, her daughter will gamble for her husband and her own children, and she will lose, and she will never complain, and she will never shrink in this palace all day long like you and order some golden wisps to talk about comfort! By the way, the second sister is because she looks like her father, so you have always been ashamed of her, right? But you don't know, she just hates you so much that she can't even wait for the marriage envoy, so she hurriedly follows Ye Zhiqiu to marry Cangwu! Every word of ridicule pierced like a sharp cone with precision and ruthlessness.
Emperor Ming was stabbed and burned with rage, and shouted angrily:
"Ignorance! If the emperor had been as soft-hearted as I was, I might have really had room to give it a go. It's a pity that you don't know much about your imperial grandmother's methods! β
"What's the means, the imperial grandmother is a person who is about to die, she doesn't pass on the throne to you, and there can be other successors?"
"Yes!"
"Who?"
"You!"
Zhu Zhiling was stunned, she never thought that there would be such an answer.
"Your imperial grandmother has already prepared two edicts, both of which are hidden somewhere in the Laiyi Palace, only Lu Xingyuan and the emperor himself know, one is passed on to me, and the other is passed on to you. If I don't get the will that day, I will immediately be demoted to a concubine, and you will become the king of the blue sea. β
"Me? I was only five years old...... That's impossible! How can the royal grandmother ......"
"Although I was in prison at that time, Lu Xingyuan was only under the orders of the emperor, and as long as I chose one of the edicts, he would burn the other. I seem to have a choice, but I never had a choice! Do you understand now why Lu Xingyuan is not a royal family, but he can freely enter and leave the Yongjin Gate, right? That was the privilege left to him by the previous emperor! It's a sword hanging over my head! β
Zhu Zhiling was stunned, sat on the ground and was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Did the mother want to say that it was the existence of the daughter that forced the mother to kill the father? If she didn't have a daughter, maybe her mother could have tried it back then? What about the imperial grandmother's foresight, what about the mother's kindness, in the end, it's just because of me, are you jealous? Are you afraid that the throne that is about to fall into my hands in the blink of an eye? Is that what you mean? β
Emperor Ming frowned and said: "Who can pick up the time and try again, no one can say this kind of thing clearly!" In short, your father's affairs are not that I will not be saved when I see death, but that I am forced to be helpless! But in that case, would it be different if it were you? Since the day you were born, you have been like me, and everyone has told you that you will become the king of a country in the blue sea in the future, and your life's efforts have been for this purpose. One day, you suddenly leave everything behind and become a person who does nothing, but just for a man who is as fleeting as the morning dew, can you do it? Can you be willing? As long as there is a trace of hesitation and hesitation in your heart, then the full truth that you just accused me of not becoming an empty talk with fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter! β
Zhu Zhiling was stunned.
Can I? Am I really as clear as a mirror about the boundless, and I don't have the slightest hesitation?
How many nights have I pondered and meditated and tossed and turned, isn't it because of the entanglement between the throne and her husband? If he is determined to keep the boundless, and try his best to go out to the East China Sea with the two of them, find the secret island, and spend his life in peace, it is not a difficult thing, but he has never considered this road, after all, it is because he is reluctant to take the throne? Is it true that as my mother said, I am just laughing at 50 steps and 100 steps?
Emperor Ming looked at the look on her face, three points of sadness, five points of suspicion, and two points of cowardice, and knew that it was a good time to persuade her, so he said gently:
"Ling'er, you are still young now, and you have too little experience. Tonight's accident may make you feel discouraged and discouraged by the loss of Zao Wuyun, but I believe that as long as you survive this period and look back at my age in the future, you will find that it is just a passing cloud, gathering and dispersing. β
Zhu Zhiling raised her head, and her mother in front of the steps was looking at her kindly, with a gentle look in her eyes, she smiled charmingly, and said softly:
"The mother was earnest and meticulous, and her daughter was taught. But the daughter is a mortal, there are always seven emotions and six desires, and she can't do it like the Buddha without Bodhi and without dust, and she will want to ascend to the throne while loving the horse. My daughter feels that in life, if you have what you want, you have to work hard to fight, and there is no reason to give up one party to get one. If you try your best and can't fight, you can only blame yourself for your lack of strength, so at least you don't have to worry day and night and regret the choices you made in the old days. β
As he spoke, he took another bite of the green jujube, but the jujube meat had already been gnawed, leaving only the hard jujube core, and after this mouthful, the blood in his lips suddenly flowed, but Zhu Zhiling seemed to be unaware, allowing the red blood to flow through the corners of his smiling mouth.
"I have boundless feelings, love, request, anger, weeping, doubt, and anger, but there is not a word of repentance. Even if he is not as flawless as his mother said, he is confident that he is worthy of him. On that day, I toasted him in the Yufang Palace, and my mind was decided. In my life, Zhu Zhiling, what I want is to live happily in the spring breeze, and I don't want to lose anything! β
Zhu Zhiling's face suddenly changed, and the previous suspicious and cowardly images were gone, showing a very decisive appearance.
Emperor Ming suddenly heard her bow her head and mutter, but she couldn't hear it clearly, only the iron flower beside her could hear:
"Father...... My daughter has eaten the dates clean, and my daughter can come to you. β
Emperor Ming was shocked and shouted, "Stop her!" Don't let her die! β
However, Zhu Zhiling was obviously prepared, and he had already jumped up before Emperor Ming opened his mouth, and this leap was enough to accumulate the strength that Fang had accumulated for a long time, and suddenly drove the whole body, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his abdomen.
The soldiers outside the hall heard the Ming Emperor shouting, and were about to pour into the hall, when suddenly the door of the hall was kicked open, and a figure flew out. Everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and when they looked at it again, Zhu Zhiling had jumped on the white jade horse with a single and thin clothes. As soon as the guards around him were about to surround him, Zhu Zhiling looked at each other angrily and shouted: "I am the princess of the Blue Sea Country!" Who dares to stop me! When the people heard this, they trembled, and no one dared to step forward.
At this time, Tiehua hurried from the palace and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, take Princess Qingyu, and don't hurt half a point!" β
Between the words, Zhu Zhiling had already rushed out with a horse's belly, and although everyone was ordered to take her, they couldn't catch up, and only watched her run out of Laiyi Palace.
Tiehua also got on the mount here, thrust the two pear flower guns into his back, and shouted: "Where is my sister!" β
Immediately, a small black figure jumped down from the eaves and stopped on Tiehua's shoulder.
The soldiers under the four looked at each other, it was very rare for the golden feather double flower to appear at the same time, they went to hunt down Princess Qingyu, and there was absolutely no mistake, but the Ming Emperor was so urgent, and he couldn't be lazy, so he cheered up at the moment and chased after the sound of Tiehua's hooves.
Taiye City.
The chilly lake water is covered with countless withered yellow lotus leaves. When the bright moon is in the sky, the palace wall by the lake is deep and thick. The sound of frogs has long been inaudible in the bleak autumn wind, and everything is silent.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from a distance on the bluestone ground of Chenglou Avenue.
A thin figure galloped under the moon across a steed, which was snow-white, but the lower abdomen and hind rump were red.
In the blink of an eye, the horse had rushed out of the Yongjin Gate, which was not allowed to enter by the non-royal family, plunged into the night, and galloped towards Fuxingtai.
The soldiers guarding the road outside the Yongjin Gate were shocked as earthy, they not only knew that the horse was the white jade cong of the princess of Qingyun, but also recognized that the person on the horse was the princess herself, but in such a cold night, the princess rushed out in thin clothes, what happened?
Before the soldiers could recover their senses, there was another sound of horses' hooves, and a huge black horse with four hooves of snow white had already caught up.
