Chapter 553: You're Just a Death Row Prisoner
Back in the East Palace, Jiang Qiancheng rarely lost his temper, everything that could be smashed in the hall was smashed, and the people in the East Palace were frightened when they met for the first time, so no one dared to step forward to appease them.
It wasn't until Shanwu came back from running errands outside that the eunuch who had been waiting in the courtyard immediately ran over: "Lord Shanwu, you can be regarded as back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is losing his temper in the main hall, smashing a lot of things, you hurry up and take a look!" ”
Shan Wu was a little surprised, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost his temper and smashed things? How could it be that he had never seen such a picture in so many years with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
But in fact, what Yama Wu saw when he went to the main hall was indeed that picture, and he was also shocked, so he was stunned at the door of the main hall.
Jiang Qiancheng saw that Shan Wu was back, so he could be regarded as reining in his emotions a little, and sat on the chair next to him with his head up.
Shan Wu calmed down, strode in front of Jiang Qiancheng, and before he could speak, Jiang Qiancheng said first: "Don't tell Yue Qingming about today's matter, no, don't tell anyone!" ”
“…… Be. ”
Shan Wu cautiously looked at Jiang Qiancheng's face: "My subordinates dare to ask, Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Is there something going on that that makes you feel uncomfortable? ”
"It's uncomfortable, but you can't fix it."
"Your Highness, Your ......"
"I can't solve it myself for the time being."
Jiang Qiancheng closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, and he looked unwilling. He really didn't understand why the emperor was willing to let Gu Shun and Princess Jiahe marry, but he was unwilling to agree to his marriage with Yue Qingming, obviously he wrote the marriage decree himself!
Shan Wu knew that Jiang Qiancheng was in a bad mood now, so naturally he would not be stupid enough to continue to ask, otherwise the things that fell on the ground would fall on his body at that time.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
When the emperor's people sent the news to the imperial study and truthfully relayed Jiang Qiancheng's reaction in the East Palace, he laughed disdainfully.
The big eunuch was grinding for the emperor next to him, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, didn't you like that Yue Qingming before, why didn't you let her marry His Royal Highness the Prince?" Is it because of her identity? ”
"It's not."
"If it's not because of identity, why is that?"
"Don't you think that the crown prince, as the master of the East Palace, attaches too much importance to Yue Qingming as a woman?"
"Your Majesty means ......"
"This is not a good thing," the emperor said with a smile, "Jiang Qiancheng is the master of the East Palace chosen by me, and he is the future emperor, and his future must not be ruined in the hands of a woman!" I appreciate the more Qingming it is, but compared to her, the prince is the most important. ”
The great eunuch hesitated, but still said: "But everyone in the imperial city knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes to be more Qingming, this is ......"
"As long as you don't get married and don't have a legitimate identity, even if you like it, what?"
The big eunuch lowered his head and didn't speak again, the emperor's mind is really not something that they can speculate on as a slave, just with Jiang Qiancheng's merits, the request to marry a woman is not too much at all, but the emperor refused so decisively, and he didn't know what Jiang Qiancheng thought in his heart.
He sighed softly, a little helpless, and only hoped that Jiang Qiancheng would not become the second third prince.
Just when the great eunuch was distracted, the holy decree in the emperor's hand had already been written, and he said, "Pass the order." ”
The great eunuch immediately came back to his senses, took the holy decree handed over by the emperor, glanced at the contents on it, and was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?" ”
"It's all written clearly word by word, can there be fake?"
“…… Yes, the minions understood. ”
Prison.
When the great eunuch appeared in the cell where the three princes were held with the holy decree, the three princes were facing the only window in the cell, and their eyes were closed to feel the sunlight pouring in from outside.
"The third prince," the great eunuch said slowly, "The servant came to deliver the decree at the behest of His Majesty, and invited the third prince to come over to receive the decree." ”
The third prince closed his eyes and didn't open them, but said: "Anyway, it's all a death, there's nothing to salute, just read it directly, I'll listen to it." ”
"Third prince, this is not compliant ......"
"If you don't read it, go out, don't bother me here."
“……”
The great eunuch cleared his throat and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, the emperor's third son is bold and dares to force the palace to rebel, thinking that he still has filial piety, exempt his mother and concubine from the crime of instigation, degrade the cold palace, his sin is serious, and he is sentenced to beheading, and he will be executed three days later." Chin this! ”
After the big eunuch finished reading, he walked behind the third prince with the holy decree and said softly: "Third prince, the holy decree has been recited, take the decree." ”
"Where is my mother now?"
"According to Your Majesty's wishes, all the titles and identities of Concubine Shuniang have been deposed, and she has moved into the cold palace, leaving a palace maid to serve and live."
"Where's Yan'er?"
"I don't know."
The third prince laughed twice, stretched out his hand, and the great eunuch smiled and put the holy decree in his hand: "The third prince has a good rest, and the slave retires." ”
After the big eunuch left, the cell was quiet again, the third prince slowly opened his eyes, directly facing the dazzling sunlight outside, he couldn't open them for a while, he squinted, and after softening, he lowered his head and put his eyes on the holy decree.
He opened the holy decree, looked at the familiar handwriting and jade seal traces on it, and couldn't help laughing, originally his plan should be seamless, but who would have thought that his plan that would be seamless that day was all in Jiang Qiancheng's grasp?
"It's ridiculous...... the third prince pinched the holy decree: "I thought I had the overall situation, but I didn't expect that in the end I was just a joke!" ”
He stood up and walked to the door of the cell: "Someone! ”
The official in the cell came: "What's the matter?" ”
"I want to see Jiang ...... No, I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince something you can see?" The official scolded angrily: "You don't look at what your identity is now, just a death row prisoner!" Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deign to come here to see you! ”
"This king is the third prince!"
"That's a thing of the past, you're on death row now!"
“……”
The third prince's hand holding the railing of the cell slowly fell, and he couldn't help laughing at himself, yes, he is just a death row prisoner now, where is he still qualified to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
He laughed a little penetratingly, and when the long whip in the officer's hand was about to swing down, Ye Xiuwen suddenly appeared and grabbed his hand and threw him aside.
Jiang Qianbai slowly walked to the front of the cell, and the servant immediately knelt down: "The slave participates in the Five Princes." ”
"Get out."
The government even crawled and left.
The third prince looked at Jiang Qianbai outside through a wooden door, and he smiled and said, "Fifth brother, are you here to see my jokes?" ”
