Chapter 0385: The Helpless Princess
Zhu Chen did unforgivable things under the stimulation of aphrodisiac drugs, although Zhu Chen persuaded him afterwards, Chunxi just cried and was silent, Zhu Chen didn't have much time, seeing that Chunxi didn't move, and he didn't shout for help just now, thinking that Chunxi had acquiesced, he agreed that he would find an opportunity to come a few more times in the next few days, and promised to let Chunxi conceive his seed, and then leave to report to the princess.
Zhu Chen saw the princess leave, and wanted to go back to persuade Chunxi, but he was old, he spent too much energy just now, and he was already too sleepy, so he went back to the room and slept for a while, and when he was woken up, Chunxi had already committed suicide by hanging from the beam, and Zhu Chen felt that the world was spinning and almost fainted, but he quickly calmed down, actively cooperated with Duan Fei's investigation of the case, and wanted to mess around, but he didn't expect Duan Fei's eyes to be sharp-eyed, and he used this small case to train the army, in fact, he had already seen through him.
Princess Yongfu thought about it in an instant, and she said sadly: "Zhu Chen, you keep saying that you are loyal and can learn from heaven and earth, and you want to use your mongrel to pretend to be a dragon seed, so that your son can inherit the throne of King Xing, which is also called loyalty?" You've disappointed me so much, Master Duan, take him down, I don't want to see him again. ”
Zhu Chen raised his head and said sadly: "Your Royal Highness the princess, Weichen is indeed selfish, but it is also for the good of the princess and the princess, once the seal is removed, the princess and the princess will not even have a home!" ”
Princess Yongfu said angrily: "No home is better than holding your evil seed as a dragon seed, Duan Fei, throw him out quickly!" I was sick to see him! ”
Duan Fei pushed Zhu Chen out when he heard this, Zhu Chen struggled hard, begging the princess for forgiveness, Princess Yongfu had a cold frost on her face, and ignored it at all, Duan Fei's current strength was something that Zhu Chen could afford, he was pushed out and handed over to the Jinyi guard outside the small courtyard to take care of.
Duan Fei and Xiao Qian re-entered to see the princess, only to see that the princess had wiped away the tears on her face, and she said to Xiao Qian indifferently: "Xiao Qian, you go out for a while, this palace has something to say to Lord Duan alone." ”
Xiao Qian hunched her waist and retreated, and Princess Yongfu said to Duan Fei: "Lord Duan, please take a seat, I really didn't expect that Zhu Chen would do such a ridiculous thing and let the adults see the joke." ”
Duan Fei replied: "Your Royal Highness Princess, although Zhu Chen's actions are perverse, it is not strange, it is Weichen's ineffective handling of the case, if he can quickly find out the news of King Xing, the latter things will not happen, this matter is now unknown to outsiders, Weichen can keep it secret for the princess, but ...... What does the princess plan to do with Zhu Chen? It is better to make a decision on this matter as soon as possible. ”
Princess Yongfu sighed lightly and said, "I'm in a state of confusion right now, I don't know what to do, or Lord Duan should make an idea for me." ”
Duan Fei said: "Weichen thinks that there are no more than two choices now, first, bring Zhu Chen to justice, so that Zhu Chen will inevitably be sentenced heavily, and beheading the capital is the lightest, second, Chunxi really committed suicide, Zhu Chen committed only the crime of rape, and he can be handed over to the Internal Affairs Office for processing." ”
The Internal Affairs Office specializes in handling the affairs of the royal backyard, and no matter how dirty things are, they can cover them up every bit, what is Zhu Chen's trivial matter?
Princess Yongfu sighed lightly: "My father Zhu Chen began to follow him when he was a child, and my brothers and sisters and I were raised by him, although he did such a thing, but after all, it is difficult to hide his merits, I really don't want to punish him, but what he did to Chunxi I really can't treat it as if it never happened, Lord Duan, what should I do?" ”
Duan Fei replied: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Zhu Chen has confessed on the spot just now, it is impossible not to deal with him, if the princess is partial, although everyone does not say it, there is always some dissatisfaction in their hearts, and even delusions will endanger the princess, so Zhu Chen must be severely punished, and as soon as possible, let everyone be convinced." ”
Princess Yongfu was stunned for a while, Duan Fei coughed before she came back to her senses, and she sighed lightly: "Lord Duan is right, I plan to hand him over to the Internal Affairs Office, what does Lord Duan think?" ”
Duan Fei replied: "This is the most appropriate way to deal with it, besides, I don't know how the princess plans to arrange Chunxi's funeral?" ”
Princess Yongfu said: "Chunxi is dedicated to the Lord, I will never treat her badly, after finding my brother, I will persuade him to give Chunxi a name, and then help the coffin back to Anle Prefecture to bury her in the royal tomb." ”
Duan Fei was silent, Princess Yongfu glanced at Duan Fei secretly, and suddenly wept and said, "Although I know that my brother is very lucky, I still don't want to believe that my brother is dead, Lord Duan, do you understand?" ”
Duan Fei said: "Weichen understands. ”
Duan Fei really didn't know how to comfort the princess, ordinary people were just fine, the identity of the princess was in front of the two, Duan Fei didn't dare to do anything beyond his identity, otherwise Zhu Chen hadn't been beheaded yet, he would have to give his life first.
Princess Yongfu sobbed: "Sometimes I really hate why I was born in the palace, if I were not a princess and my brother was not a prince, all this would not have happened." ”
Duan Fei persuaded: "Princess, these are all things destined by God, princess should not think so much, King Xing is a blessed person, and the sudden disaster must be caused by the will of heaven, maybe King Xing has become an immortal, or is about to be reincarnated to continue to enjoy wealth." ”
Princess Yongfu's eyes lit up and said, "Lord Duan, didn't you say that there are no immortals in this world?" Since there are no immortals, don't the terms of reincarnation and providence not exist? ”
Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Weichen doesn't dare to say that there are really no immortals in the world, it's just that most of those who shout that they are immortals all day long are liars, whether reincarnation and providence really exist, Weichen can't tell, it's just that human beings need some psychological sustenance, whether there is or not, as long as everyone can feel at ease." ”
Princess Yongfu said: "I see, I thought that Lord Duan didn't believe in gods and ghosts at all, in fact, I knew a fairy chief, he knew astronomy and geography, and knew the past and future, my brother just listened to his words, so he came to the capital to take refuge in person, I didn't expect to avoid it, or I didn't avoid it, I hurt my brother, if I didn't force my brother to go home, he might not die." ”
Princess Yongfu threw herself on the armrest of the official hat chair and cried, Duan Fei was stunned for a while before hesitating to persuade: "Princess mourning, now the case has not been clarified, I don't know who killed King Xing, princess, please don't take all the fault on yourself, the important thing now is to deal with Zhu Chen, and leave the rest to Weichen." ”
Princess Yongfu choked up and said, "I know, but I can't help but think so...... Can you talk to me? Will Lord Duan feel impatient? ”
Duan Fei sighed in his heart, but said sincerely: "How can it be, Weichen is very honored, Princess Shicai once mentioned that an immortal chief had made a prediction about the good fortune of King Xing, I don't know what his name is?" Perhaps he was the one who devised this, so as to prove his cleverness, and the princess might as well tell me his name, and let me find out whether he is a real fairy or a great liar. ”
Princess Yongfu shook her head and said, "Daoist Xiaoyao will not be unfavorable to my brother, Daoist Xiaoyao is really supernatural, everyone has witnessed it with their own eyes, Master Duan should not anger him easily." ”
Duan Fei secretly wrote down the name and said to Princess Yongfu: "The princess told Weichen earlier that she didn't know who predicted King Xing, why didn't the princess tell me earlier?" ”
Princess Yongfu shook her head and said, "There are some things that Yongfu really doesn't know how to say, Lord Duan, please don't pursue it, okay?" ”
Duan Fei nodded and said: "Okay, this is just a trivial part of the case, Weichen doesn't ask, Her Royal Highness the princess, Weichen still thinks that Zhu Chen's matter should be dealt with in time now, and then the princess will send someone or personally to Shuntian Mansion to confirm, and I will escort the princess to see the emperor and inform the emperor of the murder of King Xing, I don't know what the princess thinks?" ”
Princess Yongfu sobbed softly: "You just don't want to talk to me for a few words, okay, you go and call Chu Hua in." ”
Duan Fei almost thought that he had misheard, he secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Princess Yongfu, Princess Yongfu's resentful eyes would not be fake, Duan Fei's heart beat wildly a few times, and he hurriedly replied: "It's not that Weichen doesn't want to talk to the princess, it's just that the investigation is big, and I ask the princess to forgive me, so Wechen will go to ......"
Duan Fei retreated, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he couldn't see Princess Yongfu anymore, and then felt that there was a layer of sweat in his vest, which was all for Princess Yongfu.
Xiao Qian wanted to laugh when she saw Duan Fei's appearance but didn't dare, Duan Fei whispered, "Why don't you go in and comfort the princess?" Remember, don't talk too much, let alone talk nonsense, you know? ”
Xiao Qian replied obediently: "Yes, thank you Lord Duan for reminding me." ”
Duan Fei sent Xiao Qian to serve the princess, and then walked out of the small courtyard, facing many concerned eyes, Duan Fei ordered: "Wang Zuo, send someone to find the chief eunuch Chu Hua." ”
Wang Zuo sent someone to Duan Fei's side, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, does the princess plan to hand over Zhu Chen to the Internal Affairs Mansion?" ”
Duan Fei nodded and came to Zhu Chen's side, Zhu Chen was tied up and knelt on the ground, his hat was taken off, his gray hair was scattered, and his mouth was stuffed with mud.
Duan Fei leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Why did you know today in the first place? Die quickly with a tight mouth, and do your filial piety for the prince of your family for the last time. ”
Zhu Chen listened to Duan Fei's words, he stopped struggling or shouting, and lowered his head and wept silently.
Duan Fei straightened up and looked at the people in Xingwang's Mansion, including Luo An, they were all depressed and unattractive, some of them were dazed, some of them were flickering, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Duan Fei was about to say something to them, when he suddenly saw the brocade guard he had just sent walking briskly with the chief eunuch Chu Hua, Duan Fei was surprised how it could be so fast, Chu Hua had already cried out: "Lord Duan, it's not good, the palace guard Hu Jie suddenly went crazy, killed people when he saw them, and he had already broken out of the palace!" ”
