Chapter 17: You Go in My Place!
Empress Li motioned for Qiu Yu to stand up and explain everything, and Qiu Yu repeated yesterday's events.
Empress Li handed a cup of tea to Emperor Rong and said: "One is the lord of the former dynasty, and the other is the princess of the former dynasty, their status is not low, and the two of them may want to recover the former dynasty when they get together." The remnants of the previous dynasty ran away a lot, and the prince spent a lot of effort to find them, but there were still fish that slipped through the net, maybe it was the two of them who reported the news and hid those remnants of the previous dynasty. ”
Building a delicate Zichen Hall is no stranger to Youhuan, but it is the first time that he has knelt here in such humiliation.
In addition to the emperor and empress, there were also several ministers in the palace who were left by the emperor to watch the excitement after the deliberations.
Youhuan and Princess Luoqing are both from the Baili clan, and now the two of them are making such an ugly appearance, leaving it as a joke for the courtiers, which can be regarded as trampling on the face of the Baili clan in the previous dynasty.
"That letter was written to me by Princess Luoqing, just to let me save her from the cold palace, and I didn't conspire to rebel." Youhuan was not afraid of the emperor's coercion, even if she was kneeling, her waist was straight.
"It's so easy for the queen to listen to the words of a palace maid, and it's easy to be taken advantage of, and Emperor Zhao is because he always listens to the false words of his ministers, so the Ye Dynasty will become like that. As the master of the harem, the queen mother should also have some judgment of her own, otherwise the harem will also be in chaos. ”
Empress Li's eyes were filled with coldness, and she glanced at Youhuan who was kneeling below, and said, "What a sharp-toothed girl." ”
Youhuan didn't answer, but Emperor Rong glanced at her more, "Prince An's daughter? ”
"Yes."
Emperor Rong narrowed his eyes, he had also seen Prince An, if it was Prince An who had ascended the throne, the Ye Dynasty might not have fallen so soon.
Prince An and Emperor Zhao are brothers, but unfortunately there is no talent and martial arts, but there is no ambition, after Emperor Zhao ascended the throne, he only needed the position of an idle prince, lived in a corner, and rarely asked about the affairs of the court.
After Prince An died of illness, Prince An was left with a woman to raise a pair of children, but later Prince An and his son Baili Chen'an also died one after another, and Baili Youhuan became a helpless orphan girl.
"I remember you, you were named the county lord as soon as you were born, and when Prince An set up a first birthday banquet for you and the prince of Chen'an, the prince hugged you, but neither of you should remember."
Emperor Rong's words broke the tense atmosphere just now, but to Youhuan's ears, it was like the calm before the storm.
"I haven't seen you for seventeen years, you have grown so big, and you are still the founding hero of our dynasty, I should reward you well." The credit that Emperor Rong refers to in his words is naturally the fact that Youhuan killed Emperor Zhao.
There was no joy on Youhuan's face, but there was a little drumming in her heart, and then she listened to Emperor Rong say: "As for Princess Luoqing......"
Emperor Rong's voice paused, and Princess Luoqing's heart rose to her throat, and her eyes were panicked.
"It's that a few generals have asked me for you before, and tomorrow Princess Luoqing will choose a marriage by herself." Emperor Rong's words decided the future of Princess Luoqing.
"Nope! I don't want it! Princess Luoqing shouted loudly, how could those reckless men be worthy of her, "I don't want to marry those people!" ”
Marry? Empress Li laughed mockingly, this Princess Luoqing couldn't help but think too well.
Whoever would marry a slave who died in the country would be sent over as a concubine at most.
"It's not up to you." Empress Li said, "Take her down, dress up, and send her to those generals tomorrow." ”
Empress Li saw that Emperor Rong did not continue to pursue the matter of Baili Youhuan, so she would not continue to ask boringly.
Princess Luoqing retreated again and again, not wanting to be caught by the palace maid, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Youhuan, her eyes shining brightly, "Baili Youhuan, you go instead of me!" ”
