Chapter 175: Turning things around
The eldest princess wondered in her heart why these people suddenly let them go. glanced back at Zhou Shuxuan, Zhou Shuxuan was also confused, and he didn't know why it happened.
In an instant, they knew why.
Several of them did let them go, but they all pulled their knives out. They said before that this is Sun Bo's old department. And Sun Bo died at the hands of the eldest princess and the king of Qi.
The eldest princess seemed to understand something, and stopped in front of Zhou Shuxuan and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Several people clasped their fists and said: "Your Highness can't help it, we won't do anything, we just ask Your Highness to die." ”
The eldest princess did not act rashly, and tried to keep calm and said, "Why? ”
His eyes kept rolling on them as he spoke, and Zhou Shuxuan was not idle, waiting for an opportunity to move.
"Just because His Highness killed General Sun and the crown prince."
The eldest princess asked sharply: "You are holding the country's money, and you are loyal to two traitors and thieves, are you worthy of the emperor and the court in doing this?" ”
"If only we were worthy of our hearts." With that, a few people were ready to start. The eldest princess had been observing them just now, but now while they weren't paying attention, one of them flew over and grabbed a knife.
The body has not yet recovered, and it is still possible to live recklessly.
The eldest princess held a knife in her hand and said to them, "I'll give you another chance, let me get out!" ”
Several people didn't speak at all, and directly raised their knives and slashed over. The eldest princess didn't care, she raised her hand and killed the leader directly.
As soon as Zhou Shuxuan wanted to stop it, his head had already rolled to his feet, and it was irretrievable, so he had to pick up the knife and kill people with the eldest princess. After two or three clicks, the bodies of those people had already separated.
The eldest princess threw down the knife and stretched out her hand to support Zhou Shuxuan, she really couldn't hold it anymore. If she were the only one tonight, it was estimated that she would really die at the hands of these people.
Zhou Shuxuan held the eldest princess who was about to fall and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”
The eldest princess helped him to pant for breath, waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, now my body can't catch up with the year, and I am a little physically exhausted." ”
Zhou Shuxuan sighed a little in his heart, and helped her sit down on the stone chair on the side. "Auntie, are you okay?"
The eldest princess has always been a god-like existence, and there have been countless deeds in the past, and now several guards have made her a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I escaped death a little before, and I really can't catch up with before, but I don't have to worry about my life."
"In the future, I must ask a Lang Zhong to take care of you."
"It's useless, now is not the time to talk about that." The eldest princess was almost resting, and stood up with his sleeve, "Let's throw those people aside first, and then rush to the Zongren Mansion immediately, if someone else finds out that we killed someone, we will definitely say that you and I have the intention of rebellion." ”
Zhou Shuxuan wanted to stop her from killing people just now for this reason, but fortunately, there are no more steps to the Zongren Mansion now. The two of them quickly threw the bodies aside.
Fortunately, things happened suddenly, not as before, there were lights everywhere in the palace, and a large group of people followed, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with.
After cleaning up, the two of them went to the Zongren Mansion. He had only walked a few steps when he heard another voice behind him. The two of them flashed to the side, paused and waited for a moment. A few eunuchs came over with lanterns, Zhou Shuxuan took a few careful looks, led by the personal eunuchs around the emperor, his own people.
After whispering a few words with the eldest princess, the two stood up.
"Grandpa Wu, what's the matter?" Zhou Shuxuan asked after he came out.
"The emperor asked His Highness and the prince to go back."
Zhou Shuxuan and the eldest princess glanced at each other and judged whether what he said was true or false. No one can easily believe this situation.
Gonggong Wu may have seen that they were hesitating, and then added, "The emperor went back and thought about it for a while, maybe he figured out something, and now he is waiting for the two of them in the main hall of the Longde Palace." ”
It may be true, Zhou Shuxuan glanced at the eldest princess, nodded slightly, and the eldest princess also gave him a response. Both of them felt that it might be true, and had the audacity to follow him back.
Neither side was completely reassured, and Gonggong Wu also sensed that something was wrong. Just now, a small group of people escorted them over, but now there are only two of them, and both of them have a faint smell of blood. Gonggong Wu didn't dare to ask anything, and cautiously took them back.
When I arrived at the Longde Hall, the main hall was really lit up.
Gonggong Wu asked them to wait outside for a while, and then went in by themselves. Zhou Shuxuan let out a long sigh of relief, trying to suppress the tension in his heart.
The eldest princess tilted her head and asked with concern, "Are you nervous?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan nodded slightly and said, "A little bit, but not for anything else, I just don't know how to face him now." ”
Knowing what happened back then, and knowing that his mother was wronged, Zhou Shuxuan felt unspeakably uncomfortable. The grievances he has suffered for so many years should not be suffered, and his mother's concubine is not wronged.
The eldest princess stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder, sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't mentioned a word to you for so many years, it's really that the concubine has instructions before she dies, and she doesn't want you to know this." ”
Zhou Shuxuan smiled gratefully at the eldest princess, fortunately he didn't know this, otherwise he would be even more sad in his heart. Knowing that he didn't do anything wrong, how could he endure those undeserved grievances.
After the two said a few words, Gonggong Wu came out and said that the emperor let them in.
The eldest princess blocked Zhou Shuxuan behind her, stretched out a hand and pushed the door open, and quickly flashed to the side, afraid that there was something inside. After waiting for a while, nothing came out of it, and then I was relieved to go in.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, holding a holy decree in his hand, and there seemed to be a holy decree in front of him. They entered the door and saluted, without raising their heads in a daze at the holy decree.
After the two saluted, they did not speak, and those who stood stood and those who knelt knelt.
The incident of a pillar of incense passed in the blink of an eye, and the emperor suddenly raised his head and beckoned to Zhou Shuxuan, "Third child, come here." ”
The tone seemed to be very soft, an attitude that Zhou Shuxuan had never seen before.
Stood up and looked around the entire hall, there were no minions in it, only the three of them, there should be no danger, the eldest princess threw a cautious look at him.
Zhou Shuxuan walked up slowly, and when he got up the jade steps, he didn't dare to go any further. He has that thought, and it is not good to fully reveal it in front of the emperor.
The emperor beckoned to him again, "You come in, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
Zhou Shuxuan took a few steps forward, and he was already in front of the emperor.
The emperor pointed to the spread out decree and said, "How about you look at this?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan looked at the past, he had seen this holy decree a long time ago, it was the emperor who wanted to posthumously crown him as a concubine in order to win him over, and then he insisted on not agreeing to the emperor's conditions, so it was gone.
The current one is not exactly the same as the previous one, it used to be about the concubine, and now it is about the queen.
The emperor wants to posthumously crown his mother as the queen?
Zhou Shuxuan took a robe and knelt down on the side and said: "Father, the son and the queen are the ones who wear the guilt. ”
The emperor smiled bitterly rather sarcastically, looked at the caisson and said, "You also heard what your aunt said just now, what is her crime, it is me and the queen who are guilty, and I have wronged your mother and son for so many years." ”
The emperor was absolutely sincere when he said these words.
At first, he was really difficult to accept, but the events of that year were vivid, and he could analyze the errors in it after careful analysis. Concubine Liang's temperament would never be able to do those things, and he had doubted it before, but he was blinded by hatred. The concubine in the eldest princess's mouth is like her original appearance.
The emperor doesn't need to ask Concubine Jin for verification, and Concubine Jin's attitude towards him for so many years can also be seen, and she has always stayed away from him.
remembered that Concubine Liang used to be a non-fighting person. Knowing that he was lowly and never asked for anything from him, he has always kept to himself, not like the person who did those things. On the contrary, it is the queen, who is bold and dares to do anything.
The emperor really felt that he was wrong at this moment, although this was the last thing he wanted to face.
"If the father can believe the truth, the son will not feel so wronged. If the mother concubine knew all this, she should not feel wronged. ”
The emperor nodded, with a clear expression on his face, "Her temperament is indeed good." ”
Zhou Shuxuan thought for a while and said: "But father, there is really no need to chase the concubine, she doesn't care about this, and she doesn't want to intervene in the relationship between her father and the queen." ”
The emperor looked at him for a while, then nodded slightly, "Listen to you, you are her son." You can do whatever you say, just don't blame me. ”
Concubine Liang will not blame the emperor, she has completely died to the emperor before she dies.
The emperor stretched out his hand and closed the holy decree in front of him, handed it to Zhou Shuxuan and said, "You can find a time to burn it in front of her grave, so that she can know that I have this intention." ”
"Erchen thank my emperor for his grace."
These are enough, and Concubine Liang finally got her grievances.
The emperor thought for a while, handed the holy decree in his hand to Zhou Shuxuan, and said, "Look at this again." ”
Zhou Shuxuan opened it and looked at it, and his breathing stopped, this is the edict to canonize the prince. Is it his name or Xinmo, it should have been written by the emperor just now.
The eldest princess really still understands the emperor, and knows that this method can turn things around, so that he can get all this in a bright way.
"Father's ......"
The emperor interrupted him, "You don't have to say anything. You have real talent and hard work, and you are a good candidate for Renjun. I saw all of this, but I couldn't think about it before. ”
Zhou Shuxuan's eyes were almost pantothenic, he didn't expect to hear the emperor say this, "Son-in-law thank you......"
"Don't worry about thanks, I still have a condition, which is about the girl of the Meng family. But if you agree, the decree will be given to you. ”
