Chapter 656: The Death of the Third Highness
"Have you ever entered the palace to see the emperor? Is he okay? Bai Heran asked Han Tiangang.
Han Tiangang immediately said: "Back to the princess, the minister got up early and went to the court, and everything is fine with the emperor." After the news of the death of the third prince spread, I didn't see much of the emperor's mood fluctuating, but when he talked about hoping to be a new person in the next life, Weichen looked at the emperor from a distance and looked a little bitter, and he was sad to think about it! ”
Bai Heran nodded, "I know, I'll go with you to King Ping's Mansion." ”
Mo Yu followed Bai Heran out of the door, taking Ma Pingchuan's car, and Han Tiangang sat in the official sedan chair, slowly following behind Bai Heran's carriage. Mo Yu lifted the carriage curtain and looked out for a while, then turned around and whispered to Bai Heran: "Miss, did the third prince really commit suicide?" No matter how much the slave maid thinks, how can someone like him commit suicide. ”
Bai Heran smiled helplessly, "Of course it can't be suicide, I know my poison barrier myself, if you want to say that the Fourth Highness, the Ninth Highness or the Tenth Highness can still struggle after being poisoned, this is possible, but that Third Highness definitely doesn't have that ability, he doesn't even have the ability to commit suicide." So you say, how could he have committed suicide. ”
"Could it be that the Hades Palace made the move?" Mo Yu could only give such an analysis, "The Hades Palace has always had the final say for the two Highnesses, the Ten Highnesses are angry with the master, and the Ninth Highness is angry with the Fourth Miss, so there is every reason to do him." ”
Bai Heran still shook his head, "No, killing siblings is the most unbearable thing for the emperor, and the two highnesses will not do this." ”
"Then who else has the ability and ability?" Mo Yu couldn't figure it out, "Could it be that there are other masters who infiltrated the Ping Wangfu and killed the Third Highness?" But what is it for? Also, why didn't the emperor pursue it, and so easily confessed to the suicide of the third prince? This ......" Mo Yu suddenly paused when he said this, and then looked at Bai Heran looking at her with a funny face, and immediately reacted, "Miss, could it be the emperor himself......"
"Besides this, who else do you think would dare to kill King Ping in King Ping's Mansion? After killing, can you still make the emperor swallow his anger and admit it? I think even if the ninety-two His Highnesses make a move, the emperor may not be able to swallow this breath. ”
"But...... Why? "I don't understand Moyu," Miss also said yesterday that in order to save his son's life, the emperor gave up an old face, even if the second lady cut off the fingers of the third prince, in the emperor's opinion, as long as his life can be saved, he will admit it. How could a father who defended his son like this quietly killed the third prince again? ”
Bai Heran thought for a while and said, "Unless it's the third prince who moves his cake." ”
"What?" Mo Yu didn't understand, "Egg...... Cake? ”
"It means that his interests are moved." She told Moyu, "It's true that they are father and son, and it is even more true that the emperor really loves his son, and even in my opinion, he often hopes that he can abandon this identity between monarchs and ministers, and wholeheartedly enjoy the joy of family and the warmth of family." So he tried his best to help his son, to protect his son, and even to show that old face to beg me and Zhen Zhen to spare his son's life. ”
"But all this is limited to the situation that his son touches my interests, and once his son touches his interests as an emperor, the so-called family happiness and family warmth seem very small and ridiculous."
Mo Yu was shocked when he heard it, "How much interest does it have to be before the emperor can personally kill his own child?" She thought of Hong Wang, and thought that Hong Wang was also drowned by her father and tried to kill her, so she had a very happy thought. I used to feel that it was a very sad thing to lose my parents, but when I think about the eldest young master, and think about the life you have lived in the past ten years, Miss, I feel that it is not bad to have no father and no mother. ”
Mo Yu had said the same thing before, and even more than once, but Hakuzuru couldn't persuade her, because she sometimes agreed with Mo Yu's thoughts. After all, she has lived two lives, but she has never been able to find a consummation on the way to family affection.
But thinking about the Hong family again, I thought that it might be that I was unlucky, and I couldn't afford a reliable father and a long-lived mother in both lives. But you can't deny all the family affection in the world because of this, because after all, there are still people who live happily.
"Since ancient times, the royal family has been cold." Bai Heran sighed, "As I just said, family affection is based on non-interaction interests, but once one party crosses the line and violates the rules, this family relationship that has been established with great difficulty must be broken." Needless to say, between princes and princes, it was not originally crawled out of a mother's belly, how deep can it be brotherhood? What about father and son? The emperor may be a good father under any circumstances, but if you think about the information that Han Tiangang revealed, hoarding private soldiers and seeking power and usurping the throne, with these two points, the emperor can no longer keep this son. Even if it's not for himself, he has to do it for the world. ”
Mo Yu reacted like this, "Yes, the imperial power has been moved, and the heart of rebellion has been born, if the emperor does not take measures again, I am afraid it will be too late." It's just that I didn't expect this measure to be taken so drastically and thoroughly, although we also wish that the three princes died, but when he died at the hands of his father, he still felt a little uncomfortable. ”
"Just get used to it." Bai Heran said, "Many things have changed from unaccustomed to habitual, and we can't just talk about the emperor's hatred, think about it from another angle, what's the use of such a son?" He is the emperor, he can never only think about himself, he has to consider the peace of the world, is the peace of the country and the people. So when that happens, he has to make a trade-off. It is said that the emperor must love the people like sons, so the people are also his sons, he can't let one son ruin thousands of sons, he can't watch one day the three princes with tens of thousands of elite soldiers break into the upper capital, trample and kill all the way, and finally kill the Eastern Qin Palace. If he wants to protect all the peoples, he must give up this son. ”
Mo Yu nodded, "Miss, the slave maid understands, the emperor is righteous, and he is also sad in his heart, but he has to do it." He is different from our master, the master thinks about himself, and the emperor thinks about the peace of the country and the people. ”
When the Pingwang Mansion arrived, as soon as the curtain of Bai He's car was opened, she saw Bai Zhenzhen rushing to the carriage with half of her swollen face, which startled her, "Why are you here?" Didn't you go to the Honsheng Pavilion? Why is this face swollen like this, let them give you some medicine! You don't have to leave evidence so thoroughly, how terrible it is to walk on the street like this. ”
She jumped down from the carriage, Bai Zhenzhen was about to cry when she held her hand, she didn't care about any shamelessness at all, she only asked anxiously: "Sister, why did you say that His Royal Highness died suddenly?" Could it be that Xuan'er and I hit him too hard yesterday and hacked him to death? They said that the Third Highness committed suicide, how could this be! Does his kind have the courage to commit suicide? Sister, you said that if I really hacked him to death, would the emperor be angry? If I get angry and cancel my marriage with His Royal Highness the Ninth again, I will be so thankful! Sister, what should I do, you can help me analyze and analyze, I'm dying. ”
On the side, the officials of the Hades Palace also helplessly persuaded: "Fourth Miss, this matter really has nothing to do with you, he really committed suicide." ”
"If he can kill himself, the sows will have to go up the tree!" Bai Zhenzhen threw a sentence without thinking about it, but her head twisted sharply, and her face hurt.
Seeing her baring her teeth, Bai Heran had no choice but to comfort him with kind words: "Whether it is suicide or not, the person must not be hacked to death by you." Although the two of you are not light, but after the cut, I personally treated it, even if you don't believe in the accuracy of the kitchen knife in your hand, you should also believe in your sister and my medical skills. I said that whoever heals the living, he cannot die again. ”
She took Bai Zhenzhen's hand, leaned her head close to her ear, lowered her voice and said: "Since the emperor has recognized him as committing suicide, then he is committing suicide, no matter how he dies, he can only commit suicide in fear of sin." So you go in with me for a while, no matter what you see, don't be surprised, don't think too much, this is their royal business, we haven't married into the Jun family yet, don't worry about it. ”
Bai Zhenzhen nodded, her heart was still a little bottomless, but seeing her sister so calm, her heart was also let go of a lot.
Han Tiangang's official messenger was already waiting outside King Ping's mansion, and when he saw that Bai Heran had removed the poison barrier, he immediately carried the coffin prepared in advance and walked in. Not long after, the coffin containing the body of the third prince was carried out again.
Bai Heran took Bai Zhenzhen to go in to see it, and the three princes were blue and bleeding, and they were obviously poisoned to death.
Bai Zhenzhen began to worry about whether it was her sister's poison barrier that poisoned people to death, which made Bai Heran cry and laugh, "You are determined to put his death on our own heads, right?" I think you're stunned. It's just a rebel, how can you die? It's just that such a person can't be collected by us, and whoever he plots against will let him die. ”
Bai Zhenzhen's eyes widened, as if she understood something in an instant. It's just that Bai Heran put his index finger to his lips and made a silent motion, and Bai Zhenzhen didn't ask the question when he came to his mouth.
The three princes were carried away in coffins, and although the Pingwang Mansion removed the drug barrier, it was still sealed. The princes of Eastern Qin all married and had children late, and the three princes did not leave descendants until their deaths, which was a pity for Emperor Tianhe, but at the same time, it also made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Because he always thinks that if the third son leaves a grandson or granddaughter, in the future, when the child is older, he will ask where his father has gone, how should he answer? Or how should the next monarch of Eastern Qin answer? Tell your child that your father died because of rebellion?
Therefore, for Emperor Tianhe, this son has no descendants, which is the best result.
As for the concubines and servants in the palace, they were all assigned to the frontier as slaves, and they were not allowed to enter the capital for generations.
Coming out of King Ping's Mansion, Bai Zhenzhen decided to go back to the Pavilion of this Life to treat her face, and suddenly felt that it was really boring to be angry with Bai Xingyan.
But before she broke up with Bai Heran, another news came......
