Chapter 179: A Famous Lady Slaps Her Face with a White Lotus (42)
Now that the idea was made, the two told Ai Xinlian about the current situation.
When Ai Xinlian learned that the emperor was going to kill herself, she immediately showed a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, as if dying for love was the supreme glory.
But after listening to Su Yi and Zhu Chengze's suggestion of "the best of both worlds", he immediately showed an expectant expression, knelt down and thanked the two: "I knew you were all good people!" You're really good people! Thank you for fulfilling my love with Changhe! As long as we can be together, it doesn't matter how much suffering there is! ”
"I hope you don't regret it in the future."
Su Yi said coldly.
Most of the indecent love in the world is like this, the more you are prevented, the more you want to be together, and when you can be together openly, you will feel that what you get is not what you want.
But Ai Xinlian obviously didn't know this truth yet.
After learning that the emperor was going to kill them, but there was still a chance to join the queen mother, and even together, she happily changed her position and returned to the tent happily.
Since then, on the way back to Beijing, Ai Xinlian has kept to herself, without a trace of noise, and everyone has finally been clean.
……
After entering the capital, the army had its own place to go, and the generals were waiting for the emperor's summons, Su Yi and Zhu Chengze took Ai Xinlian to the queen mother's side to return to her life.
In front of the palace gate, Ai Xinlian finally saw Li Changhe, whom she had been thinking about for a long time.
Seeing her beloved, the forbearance that she had sworn to the sky was suddenly left behind by Ai Xinlian, she rushed to Li Changhe regardless of the eyes of the royal guards, and Li Changhe also rushed over to hug Ai Xinlian, and it was also thanks to Deng Biwu and Li Zhenwen, who had escorted Li Changhe into the palace to face the saint, who had already prepared and held down Li Changhe, and Zhu Chengze's internal guards also immediately grabbed Ai Xinlian, so that these two would not do ugly things again.
But even so, they still-
"Xinlian!"
"The Long River!"
"I love you!"
"I love you too!"
"We're going to die together!"
"For you, I'm not afraid to die!"
……
Zhu Chengze was speechless, urging the internal guards to escort Ai Xinlian into the palace.
At this time, the punishment of Li Changhe in the palace also came down.
The holy decree first affirmed Li Changhe's fear of death and heroic bloody battles, said some hard words, and then began to count down Li Changhe's faults, saying that he ignored the military plane, delayed the fighter plane, repeatedly contradicted military orders, and prostituted himself in the barracks, etc., and finally cut off his title, stopped his official position, and thought about it behind closed doors, and never hired!
At the same time, Li Zhenwen received a large number of rewards, the emperor praised Li Zhenwen's bravery, awarded Li Zhenwen's reduced title to Li Zhenwen, and rewarded Li Zhenwen with promotion, etc., which can be regarded as clear and impartial rewards and punishments.
Li Changhe knew that he had done something wrong, and he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with the emperor's punishment, and he was also very relieved when he heard that his son had been promoted, but deep down he felt that his face as Lao Tzu had been hurt inexplicably.
On the other hand, the punishment for Ai Xinlian also came down.
Needless to say, the crimes committed by Ai Xinlian on her face, coupled with the large number of royal scandals caused by her private escape and being captured by the rebels, it is impossible for the Queen Mother and the Emperor to spare her, not to mention that the Emperor's beloved Sun Guifei was angered by the Queen Mother because of this incident, and now she is ill, and the Emperor can't forgive her!
The emperor then directly deprived Ai Xinlian of the title of county lord, expelled her from the clan and reduced her to a commoner, and she can no longer enter the palace after today, she cannot marry as a wife, she cannot enter the ancestral grave after death, and she cannot see her younger brother in this life!
This punishment made Ai Xinlian almost faint.
But she also knew that the emperor wanted her life, and she was alive now because of the secret protection of Prince An Le and Miss Xu.
Thinking of this, Ai Xinlian knelt down to accept the decree and asked to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother for the last time.
The eunuch was supposed to drive her away, but the empress dowager had already come to fish for people at this time, and the emperor's eunuch could only let Mama take Ai Xinlian away.
In front of the Queen Mother, Ai Xinlian shook out all the things she knew about Sun Guifei according to Su Yi and Zhu Chengze's intentions.
The Queen Mother was overjoyed, and immediately took Ai Xinlian to the "seriously ill" Sun Guifei, forced her to kneel down to listen to the reprimand, and punished Sun Guifei for kneeling sore, and when the emperor heard the news, Sun Guifei, who was just pretending to be sick, really became seriously ill and was dying!
The emperor was furious, but he couldn't do anything about the queen mother, Ai Xinlian had already left the palace, so she could only endure it silently, preparing to find an opportunity to spread this breath on Li Changhe and them in the future.
After Ai Xinlian left the palace, she saw that Li Changhe was still waiting for her outside the palace gate, and suddenly burst into tears: "Changhe, you ...... You ......"
"Xinlian, don't be sad, at least we are alive, and we can still have each other!"
"The Long River ......"
Ai Xinlian hugged Li Changhe and cried: "I am no longer the county lord, I have no younger brother, I was even expelled from the clan, I ......"
"I don't care," Mr. Li said, "I just need to be with you." ”
"But ......"
"I can't give you your brother or the county lord, but I'll give you a home! I'll share everything I can with you! ”
Li Changhe shouted.
Ai Xinlian suddenly came back to her senses, and was so moved that she threw herself into Li Changhe's arms: "Yes, we still have each other!" Changhe, I only have you now! But we can finally be together! ”
"The only pity is ......"
Li Changhe lamented: "Because of the emperor's punishment, I can't officially marry you, I can only wronged you as a concubine, I ......"
"It's okay, I don't care."
Ai Xinlian said with tears in her eyes: "Not being your wife is God's punishment and God's test, but as long as we truly love each other, all the pain will become sweet!" ”
Ai Xinlian's words deeply moved Li Changhe, and said with emotion: "Xinlian, meeting you is the happiness of my life." ”
Then, the two hugged each other again, and were touched by each other's affection, and the guards on the side all looked at them speechlessly, and the little sympathy that was left was finally gone.
In the end, the Queen Mother ordered someone to announce a will to give marriage.
The will was given to Xu Yuyan and Zhu Chengze.
The emperor and the queen mother saw that the two were happy with each other, so they married the two and officially married on an auspicious day.
Su Yi was shocked.
was accused of marrying Zhu Chengze, and she was aware of the rumors early on.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor have fought to the death for power, and the Xu family and King Anle have naturally become the focus of the struggle for power, and it is only a matter of time before the two of them are married and the forces behind the two are co-opted.
But the marriage came so quickly, which still surprised both her and Zhu Chengze.
The two knelt down to thank them, and there was a congratulatory voice beside them, but Ai Xinlian and Li Changhe, who were hugging each other, were like electric shocks.
They were still feeling each other's beauty and happiness, but when they heard this will, their minds suddenly went blank.
They looked at Xu Yuyan painfully and incredulously, looking at this third party who was supposed to be a foil to their love!
