Chapter 63: Princess Heqin vs Bloodthirsty Emperor
The capital of Dongyue, Lincheng.
It was the height of summer, the summer heat was thick, the sun was shining from the lush foliage, the ground was full of mottled points of light, and a very gorgeous building was built, and there were bursts of crying inside.
As we all know, Dongyue and Xiliang are two great powers, and the envoys of the two countries signed an armistice many years ago.
In recent days, there have been disputes along the border between the two countries, with heavy casualties and tensions between the two countries. It was impossible to tell which side started the war first, but in the end the war ended with the defeat of the East Vietnamese Kingdom.
In desperation, Dongyue could only send a princess to make peace with each other to ease the relationship between the two countries.
But the Dongyue Emperor was incompetent, but he was ambitious, and he dreamed of unifying the world in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was nominally a marriage, but he knew that he would not have any good intentions.
"Your Majesty, my poor sister-in-law, she is still the same age as Hua, how can you bear to send her to kiss?" Concubine Xi, who was wearing gorgeous palace clothes, cried and cried Princess Yunshu in her arms, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Emperor Dongyue sat on the dragon chair and rubbed his forehead, looking at their crying appearance, there was guilt and displeasure on his face, Princess Yunshu was his favorite daughter, if it wasn't for the fact that there were no other princesses of the right age, how could he be willing to give her away.
"Shu'er has been smart since she was a child, and it is most suitable to send her to Xiliang and her relatives, this is the result of the joint discussion between the ministers of the DPRK and China, and this matter cannot be discussed." As soon as the Dongyue Emperor's voice fell, he was about to leave.
Princess Yunshu knelt on the ground with a "poof", hugged the thigh of the Dongyue Emperor and begged bitterly, tears couldn't stop flowing down, "Father, why are you so ruthless, Emperor Xiliang is ruthless, what good will happen to his daughter when she is sent to the palace?" ”
Emperor Xiliang has only been on the throne for three years, and the affairs of the court and China have been handled by him in an orderly manner, and no one in the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dares to question him in front of him, all because of his perverse personality and ruthlessness.
One second he was happily talking to you, and the next second he turned his face in an instant, beheading and killing people was commonplace, and the people around him lived tremblingly every day, for fear that one day if he didn't pay attention, he would lose his life.
If it is said that why he sits on the throne so steadily, and no one opposes his tyrannical nature, the reason is simply because the Xiliang Kingdom quickly annexed the surrounding small countries under his leadership, the country is growing day by day, and the people are living more prosperously, and no one realizes how miserable the people in the former harem are.
"Father, please don't let your daughter marry Xiliang, your daughter is willing to serve you for the rest of her life, and she will never marry!" Princess Yunshu cried so much that she hugged the thigh of the Dongyue Emperor and did not let go, which was enough to show that the Xiliang Emperor was terrible in her eyes.
"You prepare well in the palace, and the convoy will escort you to departure in a few days." Emperor Dongyue ruthlessly shook off Princess Yunshu and left.
"In that case, my daughter might as well kill herself!" Princess Yunshu got up from the ground and rushed to the nearest pillar to her, with a loud "poof", Princess Yunshu slid down the pillar and fell to the ground, a hideous wound on her forehead dripping with blood.
"Shu'er!" Concubine Xi ran forward and took Princess Yunshu in her arms, patted her little face and cried loudly, "Go and ask for a doctor!" ”
"Your Highness the Princess!"
There was a burst of people in the hall who turned on their backs, because Princess Yunshu was disrupted by this collision.
At night, in the dead of night, the moon hung high above the clouds, the hazy moonlight shrouded in, and the breeze blew slowly, adding a bit of coolness to the moonlight.
"Hey, my head hurts." A faint medicinal fragrance filled the room, a beam of moonlight shone in the hollow carved window, and a figure on the bed was lifting the quilt and sitting up from the bed with his forehead covered.
"I was disfigured when I first arrived, I was so miserable." Shi Jing held his forehead and eased for a moment, only then did he feel that his head was no longer dizzy.
Princess Yunshu's impact was very strong, causing her to die directly, and Shi Jing took over her body at that time, but she lost too much blood at that time and fainted directly.
The original owner would rather die than get married, but Shi Jing couldn't help her fulfill this wish, she had to go to the Xiliang Palace, just because the Xiliang Emperor was the person she was looking for.
"This guy is really, it is rumored that he is ruthless and kills without blinking, and he scared the little girl, and he died at a young age, ......" Shi Jing got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water according to the faint light, without alarming the people who were keeping vigil outside.
"Sleep, wake up and it's a new day." Lying back on the bed, Shi Jing slowly closed his eyes and fell into a sweet dream, I don't know what happy things I dreamed of, and even the corners of my mouth rose when I slew.
On the second day, Shi Jing was woken up by a quarrel.
"Shu'er, she's like this, Your Majesty, do you still want to send her to kiss?" Concubine Xi took a few steps back and looked at the man in front of her with a sad face.
Concubine Xi had been sleeping in the outer hall last night, worried about her daughter's injuries and couldn't sleep all night, and she got up at dawn, just when she came to see Princess Yunshu, the Dongyue Emperor.
Even if Princess Yunshu was forced to fight with her life, and even almost couldn't be saved, Emperor Dongyue did not change her decision, "Concubine Ai, the official document has been sent to Xiliang, and now I have told the world that no one in the court knows that Shu'er is the princess of Heqin, if I change my mind rashly, how should the people of the world look at me, and what face should I have to face the ancestors and ancestors." ”
It's not that he doesn't love Princess Yunshu, it's just that in his heart, Jiangshan is far more important than his daughter.
Concubine Xi looked at the man in front of her who had slept with her for many years, and a trace of sadness surged in her heart, "It is said that the emperor is ruthless, if this is the case, for the sake of that unwarranted fame and fortune, I will sacrifice my daughter, and the concubine really missees Your Majesty!" ”
Word by word, word by word!
The scene was a little stiff for a while, even if Concubine Xi was a woman who had been favored by the Dongyue Emperor for many years, even if she was favored again, the Dongyue Emperor would not tolerate her being so presumptuous and refute his face to face.
Just when Emperor Dongyue's face was blue and he was about to get angry, Shi Jing came out.
Shi Jing supported the crumbling Concubine Xi, gave her a reassuring look, and stepped forward to bow to Dongyue Emperor Yingying, the bandaged wound on her pale face was very dazzling.
The Emperor of Dongyue looked at her, somewhat unbearable, "No excuses, why don't you lie on the bed more, if you come to ask me to take back your will, you don't have to say it, I ......"
"My father misunderstood, my daughter wanted to tell my father that I volunteered to go to Xiliang and kiss, and asked my father and mother to stop arguing about this matter." Shi Jing didn't wait for the Dongyue Emperor to speak, and quickly said his thoughts, this body injury has not yet healed, and it is very weak, but after saying a few words, he felt dizzy in his mind.
