Chapter 758: Substitute Sister
In just a few days, the news that Princess Li, who died early, was a true phoenix spread, and legend has it that she was born the queen's destiny, but her early death due to an accident will cause a vision of heaven and earth, and many people even take sacrifices to worship her outside the imperial mausoleum.
This legend became more and more evil, but because most of the people in the capital saw the Phoenix Phantom that day, people had to believe it.
Immediately afterwards, some people thought too much, since Princess Li, who died early, was a natural queen, what is King Li? Originally, he was the regent, and recently his majesty in the court has become more and more heavy, so the rumors about him usurping the throne have become more and more intense, and even some imperial historians have admonished each other with death, and resolutely want King Li to return to the northwest.
"It's all bastards, they dare to slander this king!" When he came back from the next court, Duan Huaijin was so angry, and today someone in the court said that he was corrupting military salaries and bribing ministers, although he did so, but how dare those people expose him? Don't you want to die one by one?
"Lord Wang, what should we do now? With no subordinates......" one of the guards made a neck-cutting motion.
The strategist next to him hurriedly shook his head: "It's not proper, if something happens to the royal history who sued the prince at this time, isn't it clear that the prince did it?" ”
"So what do we do? If they continue to check like this, won't all the previous actions be in vain? ”
"First remove a few strongholds that are easy to discover, and everyone should not act rashly, and then just wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
"When will the Holy One die?"
The eyes of the guards, who were a little reckless before, lit up: "Yes, how many days can the Holy Body support?" Only the Holy Lord has died, who can stop our prince? ”
"Then wait." Duan Huaijin narrowed his eyes, looking contented.
"The prince is wise, everyone in the capital says that the princess is the queen's destiny, and the prince must also be born as the emperor's destiny, let's just wait."
Duan Huaijin was comforted by the words, yes, he should have succeeded to the throne back then, if he hadn't been fledgling at that time, he wouldn't have had to drag it out for so many years.
It's a pity that his queen is gone, and he can't watch this great country with him.
"Lord, the princess's relics have been cleared out, do you want to go and see it?" The steward said through the door of the study.
"You guys go back first." Duan Huaijin said to a few strategists, and then walked into the room containing Ye Qiu's relics with his feet.
Ye Qiu's relics are not much, and the total number of boxes is only five, Duan Huaijin looked at the guilt in his heart and rose again, this is the thing of a dignified princess, I am afraid that there are more big girls serving around him than this thing.
Thinking about it like this, the more he felt that he had treated her badly, thinking that she was in that dilapidated Zhuangzi, wearing simple clothes, wearing shabby jewelry, and even worrying about what to eat every day, he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times.
In vain, he thought that she married him for the sake of glory and wealth, if she was really for what glory and wealth, she could live well with the 100,000 taels of silver she took from the Ye family, but she didn't use anything, she gave 10,000 taels to the two maids, 10,000 taels to the nurse for the elderly, and the remaining 80,000 taels were saved by her, and when she was dying, she wrote to him to build a good hall.
It can be said that she doesn't care about these vulgar things more than anyone else, but she hates that she has been wronging her.
"Lord, all the princess's daily necessities are in these boxes, but the slave maid found this when she cleaned up." A maid carried a box and placed it on the table.
"What's inside?"
"It looks like some letters."
"Letter?" Duan Huaijin was suspicious, and waved his hand to the maid, "You go out, I'll stay alone for a while" As he spoke, he opened the box.
The box is very quaint, not even a trace of pattern, let alone any inlaid gems and hidden mechanisms, but the surface of the box is shiny, and it can be seen that the owner of the box has cherished it very much, because only regular wiping will maintain the ordinary wooden box so well.
Duan Huaijin picked up the letter at the top and said it was a letter, but it was actually more like Ye Qiu's inner monologue.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, even if the house is full of braziers these days, I can feel the biting cold, and the internal organs are tingling for a while, and I can't sleep at night...... But forget it, he has a misunderstanding about me, and he definitely doesn't want to see me, hoping that he and his sister will be happy. ”
Although there were few words on it, Duan Huaijin could feel the hesitation and amazement of the person who wrote the letter when he wrote the letter.
How could she be so stupid? He must be willing to see her!
blamed him for giving her the illusion that he liked Ye Xia, so that she didn't even have the confidence to see her last side.
Duan Huaijin then took the second one and opened it, only to see that it was written again: "Today, the only tenant in the Zhuangzi was called away, and there are only four of our master and servant and a dazzling steward left in the Zhuangzi, the market is a little far from here, I don't know if the nurse can buy some rice, flour and firewood, and they have worked hard to follow me, a useless master, but unfortunately I can't explain to the prince, I don't have much time, let him think I'm a bad woman, so that he won't be sad when I die." ”
Seeing this, Duan Huaijin's heart ached for a while, he thought that he was just doing it alone, it turned out that Ye Qiu also cared about him like this?
He continued to read it one by one, and soon saw the letter she wrote when she was not married: "My sister was given a marriage to King Li, but my sister was unwilling to go to the northwest to endure hardships, so she wanted me to marry instead, and I was very sad when I came with my father and mother to force me to marry again, not only because they didn't feel sorry for my daughter at all, but also because my sister looked down on King Li." ”
"His Royal Highness King Li is so powerful, although he is not trusted and reused by the saints, but he has not had a single incident in the northwest for so many years, it can be seen that his bravery, my sister is unwilling to marry, I am willing, but I can't let my sister get her wish so easily, so I asked for all my sister's jewelry and 100,000 taels of silver, I heard that the northwest is poor, these jewels and silver should be able to help His Royal Highness King Li!"
That's why! Duan Huaijin didn't expect that when Ye Qiu got married, he asked the Ye family for 100,000 taels of silver for him!
After getting married, he didn't give it to him because he was cold to her at first, she couldn't find a chance, and then she went back to Beijing, she felt that she didn't need it, so she didn't mention it!
What a stupid girl, she loves him so much! I've been thinking about him, but he's always been thinking badly.
