The night was dark, and Ling Fang's carriage stopped steadily in front of the eldest princess's mansion.

Gao Xingzhi tidied up his clothes, handed over the prayer post, and waited in place with his hands folded. Not long after, the door of the eldest princess's mansion opened, and the eldest princess Zhu Qinglian, who was wearing a dark purple robe, carried the hem of her skirt and walked out quickly. When he saw his figure, he ran even more desperately. When he arrived at the gate, he stumbled and almost fell.

Gao Xingzhi immediately stepped forward to help.

Zhu Qinglian grabbed Gao Xingzhi's hand, and a pair of eyes immediately moistened: "You, you ......"

"Can you go in and talk?" Gao Xingzhi looked down at her, his mood was unstable, and his voice was very low: "I don't want to talk about it in the capital tomorrow, saying that I Gao Xingzhi has become the face of the eldest princess's mansion." ”

"Okay." Zhu Qinglian nodded and dragged him into the princess's mansion.

When the door is closed, it doesn't matter who peeps outside. Entering the house, the eldest princess Zhu Qinglian was still reluctant to sit down, and pulled Gao Xing to stop talking.

Gao Xingzhi helped her: "You can sit down." ”

She nodded, still looking at the person in front of her with tears in her eyes: "You haven't been to my mansion for many years, and the last time the prince of Huai'an married his wife, he only sent someone to deliver a letter." Why did you come here in person today, did something happen, didn't you have enough money? Or is someone bullying you? ”

"Neither." Gao Xingzhi sat in front of her, and looked up at the surroundings when he heard the words.

The eldest princess Zhu Qinglian turned her head and ordered: "You all go down, just let Mama Zhang wait here." ”

The maidservants all stepped back, and handed the teapot to the old Mama Zhang beside the eldest princess to hold, and her eyes shone with curiosity.

When these people left, the eldest princess Zhu Qinglian showed a little smile: "Now you can rest assured, right?" ”

"It's a little personal." Gao Xingzhi put down the teacup in his hand, his eyebrows were sad: "I want to ask you about the old things in the palace back then, I wonder if you are willing to speak to me?" ”

"You ask." Hearing that it was an old matter in the palace, the eldest princess Zhu Qinglian's face sank suddenly, and her hands on her knees suddenly tightened her clothes.

Gao Xingzhi watched silently, moved a little position, and put his hand on the back of her palm: "Why did you get along back then, are you willing to say?" I know you didn't do it voluntarily, and it wasn't for your family and country, someone coerced you, right? Is this person Your Majesty, or is it someone else? ”

The eldest princess Zhu Qinglian's face turned white: "Why did you suddenly ask this!" ”

Gao Xingzhi shook his head: "For her." ”

"She's dead." The eldest princess Zhu Qinglian held his hand with her backhand: "You can't be in charge of a person who can't get it all your life, just let her be buried in the ground, isn't it?" ”

"Not good." He raised his head: "The truth has not yet been known to the world, and she will not be blind." ”

The eldest princess Zhu Qinglian had nothing to say for a while, but just looked at Gao Xingzhi with an extraordinarily complicated and compassionate gaze.

Gao Xingzhi didn't speak, just looked at her: "What you know is the thing that killed her." Tell me if you'll tell me, and I'll listen. If you don't want to, I won't force it, so I'll take my leave. ”

"You, you're leaving?" The eldest princess Zhu Qinglian's voice choked up: "You just came ......"

Gao Xing bowed his head: "You know, I have a lot of things to do, I have chosen the most difficult path, for her, I will keep going." If you don't want to help us, I'll look for clues from somewhere else, maybe I won't be able to come to see you again in the future, maybe......" He hooked his lips and smiled mockingly: "When we meet again, what you see is my bones, and at that time, if you are still willing, you can ask Your Majesty to bury me, and my wish will be granted." ”

"Don't say that!" The eldest princess, Zhu Qinglian, stretched out and covered his mouth.

Looking at the person in front of her, for a while, her tears welled up again. After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and said firmly, "I'll tell you." ”

"At that time, it was still the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Cong was desolate, favored concubines, killed princes, pro-villains, and distant virtuous ministers, and the people's grievances were boiling, and the people lived in dire straits. The northern border was unstable, and the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded every year, extorting countless silver beauties from the Eastern Continent. Except for the Pei family and the Yan family, all of them shouted to surrender, but among the royal family, all the princesses who could be sent had been sent, and no one could kiss them. Emperor Zhou Cong listened to the villain's words and decided to choose a beautiful and gentle woman from the people to be the princess of Jin and the pro-Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

The eldest princess Zhu Qinglian stood up, her tone was light, and she slowly pulled away the past.

"I was only nineteen years old that year, which is the age of flowers. I am the second daughter of the Zhu family, and there are two older brothers on my head, the eldest brother is the king of Guangyi who has been given to death, the second brother is the current majesty, and the third brother is the king of Xianzhou today. The eldest sister is twenty-three years old, married to Qiu Mingping, and has two children under her knees. I was not young at that time, but because of my lively temperament, although I decided to be married, I always did not propose marriage or be in a hurry, but felt happy. ”

The eldest princess Zhu Qinglian looked back at Gao Xingzhi and showed a wry smile: "Look, it's all fate, if I got married at that time, how could I have done it later?" ”

Gao Xingzhi smiled more bitterly than her.

The eldest princess Zhu Qing said to herself.

Because she has never discussed her relatives, the Zhu family is not so strict with her, and when she is occasionally free, she can still go out and walk around the streets and alleys, and she helps her sister-in-law take care of the children in the house when she has nothing to do on weekdays.

One day, because she met with friends, the two went to the cloth village to choose clothes together, and when she was in a blink of an eye, she saw the second brother's newly married wife Chen sneakily into a teahouse next door, followed by the second sister-in-law, and an eldest brother of the Meng family, whom she recognized as the second brother's colleague. Curious, she subconsciously followed, but as soon as she walked into the private room where Chen entered, she heard a heart-pounding sound from inside.

She froze in the doorway, covering her mouth and hiding to the side, where she heard the conversation inside.

From the conversation between the two, she knew that the second sister-in-law Chen and Meng Zheping were childhood sweethearts, but because of their parents' orders, Chen had no choice but to marry the second brother.

She was so stunned that she accidentally dropped something, made a sound, and had to run away in a hurry.

At that time, she originally thought that she had not been discovered, but she only felt panic and fear in her heart, and hesitated to tell her second brother. But after thinking about it, the second brother likes Chen very much, and his mother is seriously ill, if he knows this, he will die if he can't say it, she struggled and hesitated for two days, and she didn't dare to face Chen anymore, and gradually Chen found out about it.

Suddenly, one day, when my father returned home, he suddenly cried when he saw her, and the second brother, who had always been gentle, was so angry that he swung his sword and slashed things at home. She still didn't know why, the eldest brother said in a muffled voice: "Second sister, my brothers can't stand you, Your Majesty announced in the palace today that you will be selected as the princess of the family, and you will be sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty in the near future." ”

"What?" At that time, she was like thunder.

The second brother smashed things furiously: "I really want to kill this dog emperor!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" The eldest brother scolded.

In the second brother's scattered narration, she realized that today in the court, Emperor Zhou Cong suddenly put pressure on the fall, and asked her father to send her into the palace to be a princess and pro-Northern Wei Dynasty. Dad didn't allow it, and Emperor Zhou Cong said that his father had no monarch and no country, and he wanted to kill his father's head and sacrifice the flag. As a last resort, the eldest brother had to agree.

The second brother roared angrily: "If I want to know who came up with the idea of making peace, I will have to cut off his entire family." His daughter is not precious, why didn't he send it himself? The second sister is weak, and timid and afraid, even ants are reluctant to step on death on weekdays, and when they arrive in the Northern Wei Dynasty, they may not be bullied, this is to force the second sister to death! ”

Sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty? That's where you don't spit out bones!

She naturally refused, but the holy decree had been issued, and for the sake of the Zhu family, she was no longer willing, and she had to enter the palace.

In the palace, she always thought about dying and dying in the land, and once tried to commit suicide, but she didn't die, and the slaves and maids in the palace guarded her day and night, and soon found out.

She wanted to starve herself, so they gave her food and drink;

She wanted to bite her tongue, and these vicious people sealed her mouth with strips of cloth;

She wanted to slash her neck with a knife, and there was nothing in the room but a bed, and she was not given any sharp weapon;

Even the walls were covered thick with soft cloth cushions to prevent her from hitting.

But she was really tormented, and in the end, Emperor Zhou Cong still threatened her with the lives of the Zhu family, she was indifferent and at a loss, and in the end, Meng Zheping came to see her.

Mingren doesn't say dark words, she is not a fool, as soon as Meng Zheping entered the door, she looked at each other with hatred. And the first thing the other party said was: "You were the person outside the private room of the restaurant that day, right?" ”

"You don't want to die!" She gritted her teeth.

Meng Zheping surrounded her with a sigh: "I don't know if I have to die well, but if you go to the Northern Wei Dynasty, you can't live even if you want to." No one must have told you that the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Continent are going to war again, and many of the beauties we sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty have been abused to death by the Northern Wei people, and they want to demonstrate with us. ”

"You want to kill people?" She was in a trance: "Aren't you afraid that I left any other evidence?" ”

Meng Zheping smiled and said, "Don't be afraid." I've carefully checked your room, there is nothing, I heard that you haven't been out of the gate of the Zhu family since you went back that day, and you don't have time to hide things elsewhere. That secret, you can carry it until you die. ”

She was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Meng Zheping smiled again and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't be stupid enough to say it." Do you want to be angry with your old mother, or do you want to force your second brother to death who hurts you so much? You'd better obediently go and kiss, because I just made a statement to Your Majesty, saying that as long as you die, you will be punished for the crime of resisting the decree of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family will be beheaded all over the house, and you will make an example of a hundred. His Majesty agreed. ”

He laughed and walked away, leaving her alone in despair.
