Chapter 176: Choose one of the two
Zhou Shuxuan didn't know what he was going to say, so he was silent.
The emperor's old voice sounded slowly, "Meng Qianfan is a good person, and I also know that I have wronged him." But I will not rehabilitate him, and you will not rehabilitate him after I die. ”
Zhou Shuxuan couldn't agree here, and he didn't know how to explain to Miaoli when he went back.
"Father's ......"
The emperor interrupted him, "That girl is also a good girl, talented and courageous, and knows good and bad and knows shame, but you can't include her in the harem." ”
Zhou Shuxuan's whole body was already stiff, and he really couldn't accept it.
"Father, the emperor ......" Zhou Shuxuan wanted to ask why.
The emperor didn't give him a chance to continue, and added, "And after a hundred years, I want her to be martyred." ”
Zhou Shuxuan knelt on the ground and asked blankly: "She is a son of the minister, in what capacity was her father martyred?" ”
Doesn't the emperor still have that idea?
The emperor said very resolutely: "It's good to be a palace maid, you don't need any other identity." ”
Zhou Shuxuan kept shaking his head, and the whole person looked very resistant. He doesn't want to be like this, he has already made a choice between the beauties of the country, and he chooses the former.
The emperor pointed to the holy decree in his hand and said, "How is it? As long as you say yes, I will seal it immediately. ”
Zhou Shuxuan raised the holy decree in his hand, stared at it for a while, and then raised it in front of the emperor, "Ransom ministers can't ......"
Before she finished speaking, the eldest princess shouted below, "Third child, thank you." ”
Zhou Shuxuan looked back at her in disbelief, she should have heard it, the emperor wanted Miaoli's life, how could he be grateful.
The emperor also said on the side: "You all listened to your aunt before, but this time you will also listen to her." ”
Zhou Shuxuan was sandwiched between the two and didn't know how to choose. The emperor himself took the holy decree from him, and then stamped the big seal, "You hesitated just now, but you have already made a decision." Then he handed the stamped decree back to him, "I am deeply affected by it, I don't want you to repeat the mistakes of the past, and those who want to be emperors can't have feelings." ”
Zhou Shuxuan held the thousand-pound holy decree, his mood was heavier than the holy decree, and he couldn't say a word when he opened his mouth.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's almost dawn, and I'm tired, so go back first." Tomorrow I will grant you a day off, and I will not use it to go to court. The day after tomorrow, I will announce to the world that I will be crowned the crown prince. ”
The emperor didn't give him a chance to speak, so he got up and left.
The emperor's back had disappeared, and Zhou Shuxuan slowly stood up. Holding the holy decree he had always dreamed of, he walked out slowly.
The eldest princess was waiting for him below, knowing that he was uncomfortable, so she didn't say anything.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't say a word all the way, Wei Hai should have already taken Miaoli away, should he let people chase him. Even if she doesn't chase it, Miaoli will definitely know the news. For the first time, Zhou Shuxuan felt that things were so difficult to do.
In a trance, I have arrived at the palace gate. Zhou Shuxuan held the holy decree and stopped.
The eldest princess asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I'd rather trade my life for her than hers. Auntie, I can't ask for this decree. ”
After that, Zhou Shuxuan really went back, as if he really wanted to go to the emperor to return the holy decree.
The eldest princess grabbed him, "This is a holy decree, do you think it's child's play?" You can pay it back if you want to, and you think about how much you've paid for it. ”
Zhou Shuxuan shook his head violently, and said in a resolute tone: "I know how much I have paid for it, but if I really have to choose one of the two, I won't choose it." I can imagine what it would be like if I wasn't an emperor, and I can't imagine what it would be like without her. Auntie, haven't you always treated her as your own daughter and defended her everywhere, is it all fake? ”
Just now, the eldest princess asked him to agree, and he couldn't figure it out, why he agreed. That's human life!
Zhou Shuxuan still looked at the eldest princess in disbelief, broke away from her hand and wanted to go to the palace, the eldest princess hurriedly chased after her, and then pulled people and said, "This is not an ordinary thing, isn't it something you can pay back if you want to?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan directly shook off her hand and shouted loudly: "What if you don't pay it back?" Let her be buried? You are hypocritical to her, I am not to her! ”
It's not long since I was rescued, and I'm going to let people die again, so it's better not to save it!
When he entered the palace, he thought about countless results, and even thought that he would rebel and be charged with killing his father and killing the king, but he never thought that it would be like this.
Why do you want to exchange Miaoli's life! Why!
"You calm down. Didn't you find out that you just fell for the emperor's scheme? What should have belonged to you, he put forward a condition and you automatically quit, you are not stupid! ”
Zhou Shuxuan calmed down a little at this time, was not so excited, and stood up to listen to her.
"You go back now, the bodies of those people have been found, and the emperor will directly charge you with a crime. You are now the chosen prince, and you will soon become a prisoner. ”
Zhou Shuxuan was silent for a while, trying his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, "But what should she do?" Do you really want her to be buried? I can't. ”
Thinking that Miao Li was going to leave him, he only felt that it would not light up again tonight.
"Who said she had to be buried, and now she doesn't have to be buried!"
Zhou Shuxuan stared at her deadly, what kind of bad idea is this. Is it a question of when to die? He didn't want Miao Li to die at all!
"You! Auntie, if you don't want to help me, forget it! Zhou Shuxuan didn't go overboard, he didn't want to talk to her anymore, "In vain, she still treats you as a relative, she really thinks too much!" ”
"Why are you getting your brain in the water tonight?" The eldest princess was angry, "Let's go, I'll talk to you while I go out." ”
City gates.
The tea in Miaoli's hand was already cold, and she didn't drink a sip. Now I don't feel sleepy, and I listen to the situation outside with my ears pricked up.
As usual, the night was silent and quiet, and there was no superfluous sound at all. It's not like it's there, it's just plain quiet.
"Girl, do you want to rest for a while?" Xiaohong asked worriedly.
Miao Li's motionless appearance is really scary, if it weren't for the occasional blink of an eye, people would think that she was just a beautiful doll.
Miaoli shook her head, "No, I slept a lot in the afternoon, and I'm not sleepy now." He looked up at Wei Hai again and asked, "Lord Wei, where did the prince ask you to take me?" ”
"Girl, the prince didn't command."
Miao Li frowned slightly and said, "Do you still want to lie to me at this time?" ”
Thinking that Miao Li already knew everything, where did Wei Hai dare to lie to her, and said honestly: "The prince really didn't say it, he only said that he would let the slave take the girl away, and he didn't say where to go." It is estimated that the minions will watch it. ”
Miao Li believed that the situation would change by then, and Zhou Shuxuan probably didn't know where to be safe, and asked, "When did he ask you to prepare?" ”
"Just yesterday afternoon. What the prince said before he went to the eldest princess's mansion. ”
Miao Li didn't ask any more. I don't know what attitude King Qi is giving, detain her here and don't leave, she can't do anything now. Even if she leaves, she can't actually do anything, it seems important, but in fact she is an insignificant person.
After waiting for a while, it was getting darker and darker, and it was about to dawn, and Miaoli didn't close her eyes all night.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't close his eyes either, and after listening to the eldest princess's idea, he was judging whether it was feasible or not.
The eldest princess meant to lie that Miaoli was dead and send her out of the palace for a while. After waiting for the emperor to Bintian, he took her back and changed her identity.
After thinking about it, maybe there is only one idea, anyway, the emperor won't live long, and he can take Miaoli back to his side before the New Year.
"What the hell do you think?" The eldest princess asked a little anxiously.
"It seems that this is the only way, but I want to send her to your house." Only when it is placed in the eldest princess can Zhou Shuxuan feel at ease enough.
"That's what I thought, too. Do you say yes or not? "It doesn't matter where you put the person first, it only matters if Zhou Shuxuan agrees.
"I promised."
"Where are the people now?"
"I don't know. I asked people to take her away as soon as there was a rumor, and it was the eldest brother who was guarding the city gate tonight, so I had to ask the eldest brother. ”
The eldest princess nodded, now that she has arrived at the Wenhua Gate, the King of Qi is here according to the agreement.
After going out, I saw King Qi hiding in the night.
King Qi saw that the two of them came out in good shape, so he hurriedly dismounted and asked directly, "How is it?" ”
The eldest princess replied, "That's it. ”
King Qi clasped his fists and said to Zhou Shuxuan: "Congratulations to the third brother, congratulations to the third brother." ”
Zhou Shuxuan didn't have time to think about what to congratulate and congratulate now, and asked directly: "Big brother, is there a carriage from my house going out of the city, do you know which direction they are going?" ”
King Qi was now empty-hearted, and he didn't expect him to suddenly ask this, so he was stunned for a moment.
"Where you go is where you go, what are you going to be!" The eldest princess couldn't wait to ask.
In front of the eldest princess, King Qi has never dared to lie. King Qi touched his nose and said, "I didn't go out of the city, and I am still at the gate of the city." ”
Zhou Shuxuan didn't understand and asked, "What's the matter?" He thought that Miaoli had guessed it halfway, and he didn't leave.
King Qi made up nonsense, "I recognized who the person inside was, and I was afraid that it would be unsafe, so I let her stay." ”
Zhou Shuxuan was even more incomprehensible, "How can the eldest brother be worried about whether she is safe or not?" "If King Qi really recognizes Miaoli and is afraid that she is not safe, then he should let Miaoli go, what is it to leave her behind?
For a while, King Qi was a little unclear, and it seemed that the more he talked, the more chaotic he became.
"Miss Miaoli is kind to me, so I'm worried that she won't be safe." The king of Qi said that it was Miaoli who saved the eldest princess.
The eldest princess glared at him, talking nonsense. Zhou Shuxuan cares about Miaoli very much now, and his nonsense here can easily cause misunderstanding.
Zhou Shuxuan stopped talking again, still pondering the cause and effect relationship.
"Okay, let's go find someone first, don't stand here. Something will be done tonight. ”
Although Zhou Shuxuan's people followed the eldest princess, they were still thinking about things in their hearts.
Why did King Qi leave Miaoli, and what kind of grace is En?
