Chapter 54: Cutting off feelings
The eldest princess didn't mean to give in at this time, "It's not that I'm crazy, it's that the second prince is crazy." If he hadn't done that kind of unconscionable thing, I wouldn't have broken into the palace at night. ”
The emperor was angry and hateful now, bending down to stare at the eldest princess's face, "When you broke into the palace, you knew that it was the second prince's hand?" Did you come to assassinate me on purpose? ”
The eldest princess knew that the assassination of the emperor had indeed done an unforgivable thing, so she went around and said: "No matter what method I use, I have only one purpose, which is to abolish the crown prince." ”
The emperor straightened up and asked, "I don't understand, why do you have such a big prejudice against the crown prince?" No matter who is the emperor, you are the supreme eldest princess, why do you have to abolish the crown prince? ”
The eldest princess felt that she had nothing to say at this time, looked up at the emperor, and said for a long time, "I don't think you're so confused that you don't know why I am, do you really not understand?" ”
The emperor put his hands behind his back, his heart was full of resentment, and he didn't say angrily: "You keep scolding the king of fainting, what do you want me to understand?" How sober are you, and how dare you put a sword against my neck? Do you know what the consequences are? ”
The eldest princess knew this consequence too well, shrugged her shoulders, and said indifferently: "Zhu Jiu clan, Zhu Jiu, I don't care." ”
"You!" The emperor pointed at her, then withdrew his fingers and clenched them tightly into a fist. I can't wait to pick up a sword from the ground and stab her to death with a sword.
The emperor almost didn't catch his breath, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said: "You made such a big fuss, if I don't give you a little punishment, I really can't get over the face." There is a dust-breaking nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing, and you can do it yourself. ”
Although she is not a sibling, the emperor treats her as her own sister.
The emperor meant to let her cut her hair as a nun.
The eldest princess didn't think about getting out alive today, she didn't think that she could pick up a life, she had already earned it. Anyway, she is now alone, and there is nothing to be nostalgic about in the world.
The eldest princess kowtowed and thanked her, "Zhuang Ding thanks the emperor for not killing." ”
"I'm gone, you're doing it yourself."
The emperor brushed his sleeves away, and this farce was barely over.
The eldest princess got up from the ground, patted the dust on her knees, and then turned around and pulled Miao Li up, the whole process like a nobody.
It was Miaoli who asked the eldest princess with a crying voice: "Your Highness, why did it become like this?" What to do in the future? ”
Rao is that no matter how bold she is, she has never seen such a scene.
The eldest princess didn't seem to understand her words, and asked, "The crown prince has been deposed, isn't this the result we want?" Do what you need to do in the future. ”
It's finally a big deal, even if she is scolded by later generations for usurping the throne, she admits it.
Saying that, the eldest princess walked to Zhou Shuxuan's bed, stretched out her hand and probed his forehead, a thin layer of sweat appeared on it, and she sighed and said, "It's really unlucky, I even missed such a big thing as the abolished prince." ”
Miao Li walked over and said worriedly: "Your Highness, the crown prince has been deposed, but His Royal Highness ......"
The eldest princess didn't take everything just now to heart at all, and said, "I don't have any major incidents, at least I have picked up a life." It is estimated that the emperor saw that I had killed too much in this life, so he asked me to go to the Buddhist temple to confess myself. ”
The eldest princess glanced at her hands, which were not as rough as if they had grown on a woman's body, and they were indeed stained with too much blood.
She said it too easily, and Miaoli was still full of guilt in her heart. If she hadn't rashly called the eldest princess, all this might not have happened.
Miao Li knelt at the feet of the eldest princess, "Your Highness, it's all the slave's fault, the slave shouldn't call His Highness into the palace late at night." ”
Zhou Shuxuan also warned her not to go to the eldest princess at will, she was disobedient. But when she got to that time, she had nothing to do.
The eldest princess took her hand and pulled her up, and said with a smile: "You did the right thing today, if you didn't call me into the palace, you did something wrong." You can also see the emperor's attitude, if such a big thing happens, he will protect the second prince. If I hadn't forced him with a sword, he might have been gone, and King Qin would have been closed in vain. ”
The eldest princess stooped down and picked up the sword on the ground, and pulled off the scabbard that had been nailed to the pillar. Inserted the sword back into its scabbard, and then handed it to Miao Li, "Little Shuang'er, this should be my New Year's gift to you." I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring you the New Year's money. ”
Miao Li still has the heart to care about what New Year's money, her eyes are red, and her tears can't stop falling out.
The eldest princess reached out to help her wipe away her tears, and where her fingers touched, it was hot.
The eldest princess touched her forehead and asked with concern, "Do you have a fever?" Have you ever asked for a doctor? ”
Miao Li said perfunctorily: "I have already been invited." Then he said with guilt, "Your Highness, it was really the slave who harmed you." ”
The eldest princess chuckled, these things were not a big deal in her heart. She's used to seeing strong winds and waves, and these are not worth mentioning.
The eldest princess nodded and said, "Yes, you hurt me." If you want to alleviate the guilt in your heart, take good care of yourself and your lord. Then I often brought some delicious food to visit me, and brought more meat. ”
The eldest princess was afraid that she would not be able to get over it, so she deliberately said so.
Miao Li opened her mouth and wanted to say something. The eldest princess waved her hand to stop her, "Don't say anything else, I have to leave the palace immediately, you go and boil the medicine and drink it." And remember, when you look at me, you must bring more meat, you don't have to give it to me. ”
Miao Li looked at her chic back, full of helplessness, I don't know what decision Zhou Shuxuan would make if she was awake?
The words "don't have to send me" made Miaoli stand in place, she didn't have the courage to send the eldest princess.
Standing at the door and watching for a while, the back of the eldest princess had completely disappeared into the darkness. Miao Li went back to the house and carefully folded the holy decree that was placed on the table on the prince's clothes, and put it in Zhou Shuxuan's hand together with the sword given by the eldest princess. After this night, there is only one gain and one loss, only these two things.
Zhou Shuxuan was disgusted with the prince in a coma, unconsciously pushed away the prince's clothes, and then grabbed Miaoli's hand.
On the second day, the two holy decrees spread all over the world, and the government and the opposition were shocked.
The emperor's abolition of the crown prince is expected by everyone, but taking away all the titles of the eldest princess is something that people in the world can't imagine.
The eldest princess is a famous god of war who has hardly lost a battle in her life. The things in the palace have not yet been spread, and people outside only think that the emperor has a good appearance and has taken the title of the eldest princess, which is really unreasonable. Could it be that after enduring it for so many years, it is only now that he is afraid of the power of the eldest princess?
It's Spring Festival time, and officials are on annual leave. Some people couldn't help but ask the emperor why he took the title of eldest princess during the holiday, but the emperor did not give any reply.
Not only did he not get the emperor's approval, but the hundred officials received the news that the eldest prince was going to cut his hair and become a nun, which was undoubtedly worse.
He and the officials who were in Beijing spontaneously lined up at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, wanting to see the eldest princess so that they could ask the truth of the matter.
But the eldest princess not only closed her door, but didn't even go out. The situation in the DPRK has changed dramatically, and none of the Manchurian officials know what happened?
The entrance of the house is very lively, but the atmosphere in the house is very deserted. Few people spoke in the princess's mansion, except for a few sobs from time to time.
The dozens of little girls raised by the eldest princess are all shedding tears for her.
In the house, the eldest princess was holding a cup of tea in her hand, leaning on the couch obliquely, more leisurely than anyone else, in stark contrast to the king of Qi pacing back and forth in the house.
The eldest princess put down the teacup, turned her face slightly and said, "Don't walk around anymore, I'm dizzy when I look at it." ”
Seeing his indifferent attitude, King Qi was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly, "You...... Why are you still so laid-back? What are you asking me to say about you? ”
The eldest princess is still very calm, "You can say whatever you want, and I can hear everything you say." ”
King Qi was even more angry, and wanted to say that she didn't know where to start, and spoke incoherently angrily, "I told you a long time ago not to be lawless, you really can do everything, you actually dare to put a knife on the emperor's neck." Now that you're going to be a nun, are you satisfied? ”
The eldest princess said lightly: "It's normal, I thought the emperor would kill me." ”
This woman is really crazy, and she doesn't feel Ren anymore. King Qi only felt that there was a raging fire burning in his heart, burning him unconscious.
King Qi was angry on the top of his head, clenched his fists and asked her, "You just want to die like that?" Without waiting for the eldest princess, she pulled out the sword she placed on the table and pressed it straight at her heart, "If you want to die, I'll help you." ”
The eldest princess paused slightly, then clasped her fists and said, "Then thank you." The movements should be crisp and neat, otherwise it will hurt. ”
King Qi gritted his teeth, eager to eat her alive, but he didn't have any strength in his hands, and wanted to burn a hole in her face with his eyes, but the eldest princess still looked indifferent.
For a long time, King Qi lost. Throw down the sword in your hand. Angrily sat down next to her, grabbed the teacup she placed on the small table and poured a few sips, defeated.
The eldest princess smiled, got up and picked up the sword he threw on the ground, played with it in her hand, and said casually: "The prince is abolished, and I have saved a life, which is obviously a good thing." I don't know why one or two of you aren't happy. ”
King Qi tilted his head and stared at her, "How do you make me happy?" I thought I could have a good New Year, but you made it like this, you obviously don't want me to be happy. ”
The eldest princess stared at him for a while, smiled dismally, and did not answer his words, but said her own, "Once this year passes, you will be thirty years old in another year, and you will not have a son and a half daughter." I often see your mother and concubine anxious about your heir, and she has grabbed a lot of medicine for Princess Qi. I also sent a lot of well-born girls to your house, but there has been no effect so far, and I am secretly worried about whether you have a problem.
Every time I see your mother and Princess Qi talking about these things, the princess looks like she is suffering, and I know that the problem is not with the princess. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. As a junior, you must always fulfill your responsibilities as a junior, and you can't let your mother worry about these things.
You can't be like before, you don't have to do things in the army yourself, and you don't have to stay in the camp all the time. Go back to live more often, give birth to a child as soon as possible, your mother is also happy, and I am also happy. The third child has no children, and when you have children, I will be able to be a serious aunt and grandmother.
You don't have to worry about me, I don't think it's bad to be a nun. We marchers have too many human lives on our hands, and I just recited more sutras for myself to wash away the sins of my body, so that I don't have to go to hell after death.
Cutting off the three thousand threads of trouble, I might be able to live a little easier. You know what I mean? ”
