Chapter 57: The Crazy Prince

The emperor changed his mind so easily?

Impossible, Zhou Shuxuan believes in life and death, flesh and bones, and doesn't believe that the emperor will change his mind so easily.

"The retainers are terrified."

The emperor glanced at him again, Zhou Shuxuan is really not in good health now, and he can't even get out of bed. The emperor looked a little unbearable, but he still had to do it.

He blocked the news and tried not to spread the news of the eldest princess forcing the palace. People in the world don't know the truth now, and they all think that he punished the eldest princess for no reason.

It's okay to be scolded, but I'm afraid of some changes.

The military attaches of the court and the generals of all walks of life, because of the special circumstances of the year, more than half of them came from the eldest princess's subordinates. Although he trusted the eldest princess, he had to guard against it.

And Zhou Shuxuan is a suitable candidate for the prince in the hearts of most people. Letting Zhou Shuxuan go to Taimiao to worship his ancestors is equivalent to hinting to the people of the world and giving them a little hope. This is a way to divert attention and prevent uncontrollable changes.

also let the abolished prince know that the prince does not necessarily belong to him, and he has some sense of crisis, so don't do those foolish things anymore. It will be good to discipline in the future, and will not do whatever you want.

The emperor did this to kill two birds with one stone, in the final analysis, Zhou Shuxuan was just a shield in the emperor's hand.

The emperor deliberately asked: "What do you have to be afraid of, can't you do this little thing?" ”

Needless to say, Zhou Shuxuan's ability is naturally terrifying, what he fears is the emperor's attitude. Even if it was King Qi, he didn't think it was too strange, it was too strange when it was his turn, and he still knew that he had a certain position in the emperor's heart.

King Qin was afraid that the emperor was testing him, so he said: "The son is not in good health, and he has an imperial brother, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this great responsibility." ”

The emperor stood up and said, "I have made up my mind, you should prepare well." ”

Taizu unveiled the rebellion at that time, and broke through the palace on the ninth day of the first month and ascended the throne as king. Therefore, every year, in addition to the first day of the new year, the royal family has to go to the temple to burn incense, and the ninth day of the new year is also to go, and the ninth day of the new year is the main thing, which is a formal ancestor worship.

In the past, the emperor went by himself, but later the emperor gradually got older, so the crown prince replaced the emperor.

It has lasted for decades, and Zhou Shuxuan is the first prince who can go to Taimiao to worship his ancestors. successfully aroused other people's speculation, and for a while, the whole country was waiting for the news that Zhou Shu was declared the crown prince.

Xian'an Palace naturally received the news, and the waste prince angrily smashed the porcelain on the ground, and lost his temper again.

The emperor still ignored it, pretending not to know anything, and did not react at all.

In this way, let him have a little lesson, let him know that he has done wrong, and he will not do big rebellious things again.

In Qingquan Palace, the palace maid boiled the medicine, and Zhou Shuxuan was not used to being served by others, so he still had to be served by Miaoli.

Miao Li saw that his face was not very good, and asked, "Why doesn't the prince seem to be happy?" ”

Zhou Shuxuan took the medicine and drank it all, saying, "There is nothing to be happy about." ”

But obviously something good happened, Miao Li asked again: "Didn't the emperor let the prince go to the Taimiao Temple to worship his ancestors?" Isn't that a joyful thing? ”

When she heard this, she was very happy for Zhou Shuxuan for a while, and felt that the emperor understood a little bit of reason, and began to focus on Zhou Shuxuan.

It's a pity that she still didn't understand the emperor in a weekly statement.

Zhou Shuxuan snorted coldly and asked, "What do you think this is a good thing." How is it at Xian'an Palace? ”

"I almost smashed a kiln of porcelain, but the emperor didn't say anything." Miaoli synthesized several pieces of news, and the emperor seemed to really want to give up the feeling of abolishing the prince, so he asked: "Lord, has the emperor really given up on abolishing the prince?" ”

Zhou Shuxuan stared at her and asked, "Do you think it's possible?" "How can you ask such a stupid thing?

Miao Li was busy and happy before, and when he said this, he also felt that it was unlikely. The holy decree of the abolished prince was not made willingly by the emperor, she saw it clearly at that time, and saw that the emperor still wanted to defend the abolished prince when she saw it on his neck.

Although the eldest princess forced him to say that he would never stand again, the emperor always wanted to come out and overturn the holy decree.

But the emperor asked Zhou Shuxuan to worship his ancestors very strangely, and he couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking for a while.

Miao Li thought about it again and again, and vaguely had an idea in her heart, and said: "In this case, the slave maid thinks that it is better for the prince not to worship the ancestors, and the emperor seems to have a little bit of a sense of pushing the prince out to block the arrows." ”

And he thought of a place to go, and finally stopped being stupid.

"It's not that the king's words count, I persuaded the emperor to insist on doing so, I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd."

Miao Li sighed, then she could only bite the bullet, "In this situation, even if you know that it is a mouse medicine inside, the prince has to eat it." ”

He wished it was a rat pill, and he would be clean even if he died.

Zhou Shuxuan couldn't move back to his house for a while, so he prepared the things used to worship his ancestors in Qingquan Palace. Qingquan Palace was very busy, and there were not enough people, so a few minions were transferred from other palaces.

The Xian'an Palace was terrifyingly deserted, and the abolished prince, who had always been a stammering prince, lived a cold life for several days, and no one seemed to remember him anymore. Only the crown princess finally begged for a holy decree and entered the palace to see him.

When the waste prince saw the princess as if he saw hope, he grabbed her and couldn't wait to ask, "Why are you here?" Did your father ask you to come? ”

The crown princess wiped a handful of tears, "No, it was the concubine who came to see His Highness by herself." The crown princess didn't dare to say that she begged the emperor for a long time, and the emperor nodded and agreed.

The waste prince slowly let go of her, sat back on the stool, and said with a hollow look in his eyes: "It's over, my father really abandoned me." ”

The crown princess cried and comforted him in clumsy language, "Your Highness, no, my father will not give up His Highness." ”

The waste prince shook his head, and said in a floating tone: "What won't, I don't know what ecstasy soup the third child poured into him, and let the third child go to the Taimiao Temple to worship his ancestors, doesn't this explain everything?" ”

"Your Royal Highness......" The crown princess still wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't find any reason.

After a long time, the prince picked up a letter from the table and handed it to the crown princess, "This is a letter I wrote to your father, let him read it, and destroy it immediately whether he wants it or not." If you wish, don't reply to the letter, just follow the book. ”

The crown princess stretched her hand in the air, not daring to answer the letter. She hadn't interfered in much of the affairs of the court, but she could guess what the prince was doing with her father's letter at this time.

The crown princess withdrew her hand, took a step back and said, "It has not yet reached the point of last resort, Your Highness will think twice." ”

"How?" The prince raised his head and glanced at her coldly, "You are the wife I am marrying, and you don't want to help me." Now you also see me depressed and lose your sacred heart, and you have changed your attitude towards me. ”

When the crown princess heard what he said, she knelt on the ground with a grunt, and said miserably: "The concubine body doesn't mean that, and the concubine's heart for His Royal Highness can be seen by the sun and the moon." The concubine just persuaded His Highness to think again, that kind of thing was too costly. It's just a matter of success, and if you don't succeed, your family won't survive. It's really not to the point where you can do anything like that. ”

"When will it arrive?" The crown prince slapped the table and asked, "Wait for the new emperor to succeed to the throne?" Wait for someone else to come and give me death? I'm not here for anything else, I'm here to live. Your father and I are in the same party, thinking that if I am dead, will he still be safe? The same, no one can reap the benefits. ”

The crown prince is now insane, yelling in the Xian'an Palace. Bent down and grabbed the crown princess's shoulder, and shouted frantically: "Are you afraid of death?" If you dare to die, I'll kill you right now. ”

The crown princess looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, and a sense of fear arose in her heart. But this is her husband who shares the same bed, no matter what his identity is, he is her husband.

He used to be the prince, and she was still the future queen, she didn't feel how noble she was, she just felt that she was an ordinary woman in the world. Serve your in-laws well, husband and children. Now that he is in trouble, her heart for him is still the same.

But the crown prince has changed, she doesn't know him, he is blinded by power, and he seems to be crazy.

The crown princess dragged his clothes and continued to persuade: "My father used to love His Royal Highness so much, just for the sake of the queen mother, my father will not let His Royal Highness die." Let's not take risks, even if we are a quiet prince and live a good life. ”

The waste prince pushed her hand away and shouted at the crown princess, "I'm unwilling, I've been the prince for decades, why wasn't it me in the end?" Why should I give it to someone else? I am the true son of the dragon, and I will not condescend to be a prince! ”

Why didn't the emperor die earlier? If the emperor died early, he would have succeeded to the throne long ago. He is the most honorable person in the world, and no one can disobey him.

The hateful Zhou Shuxuan, the hateful eldest princess, and the emperor, there is no good person. They must have teamed up to do such a scene together, just to take away his position as the prince, and they were all harming him.

The prince has gone mad!

The crown princess sat on her knees and looked up at him for a long time, unable to bear to see him tormenting herself like this. Slowly stood up and grabbed the letter he had placed on the table.

"The concubine is willing to live and die with His Highness."

As soon as the crown princess's voice fell, the room fell silent, the prince stopped going crazy, looked at the princess expressionlessly for a while, and then looked up to the sky and smiled, "Okay, it's my good wife." From now on, no one will be able to shake your position. Go out of the palace and get the letter to your father as soon as possible. ”

The crown princess walked out as usual, but her palms were sweating.

She is not for the glory and wealth in the future, nor for any status, she is just for her husband.

From the day she married into the East Palace, the crown prince was her heaven, and she would follow all his orders and help him do everything.

Out of Xian'an Palace, the crown princess sat on the sedan chair, still a little worried in her heart. On the one hand, the crown prince, on the other hand, her parents and clansmen, she can't give up anything.

She can only keep both sides if she knows what the prince said, the crown princess took out the letter given by the prince from her sleeve, opened it without hesitation, and took it out to see, the first line on it reads: "On the ninth day of the first lunar month, kill Zhou Shuxuan first." ”
