Chapter 121: Punishment
On September 11, our group finally ended our trip for half a month and finally returned to Prince Xianyu's mansion.
And on the first day back to the Prince's Mansion, I almost spent it in the crying of the two girls, Taoxin and Wan'er.
The two sisters, Jingyun and Jingyu, have been staying by Gongsun Zidu's side, but they are a little wary of others, so when Taoxin cried in front of me and accused me of running away for more than half a year, even Jingyu, who loves to chatter the most on weekdays, did not squeak, just lowered his head and twisted his fingers with a face full of confusion.
Jin Ya, since she saw that Yin Linxi and I had become closer, she seemed to be stimulated, and when the carriage was about to stop in front of the prince's mansion, she got out of the car without saying a word and returned to the auxiliary general's mansion.
Yin Linxi didn't care about her, but as soon as his front foot touched the ground, he said that he wanted to find his father to intercede for me.
At first, I was worried a lot, afraid that his father would be angry with him because of my affairs, and was ready to go with him to plead guilty.
But Yin Linxi repeatedly assured me that he must have a way to get his father to agree, and it would backfire if I went.
In the end, I thought about it, in fact, what he said was not unreasonable, after all, I left Xianyu without permission, and I still had a blood debt of 100,000 elite soldiers from Yin Linxi's father, so he naturally became more anxious when he saw me.
So he had to agree to stay in the house and wait for news.
Yin Linxi hurried to the palace.
It wasn't until the twilight became thicker and thicker that a palace man hurriedly came from the palace to report the news.
Seeing me sitting in the main hall, he immediately knelt down in fear, "Huh... The crown princess and the princess, the slave came to tell the queen about the big event. ”
"Big deal?"
That Lee? What big deal can she do?
And also... Why did she send someone to the door as soon as I returned to Xianyu, as if she had received the message?
Don't... Did Yin Linxi say it in front of the palace?
With these doubts, I glanced at the palace people, then raised my hand to hold the hem of my skirt and got up, "Say, what is the big thing that the queen mother asked you to tell you?" ”
The palace people shrank slightly, lowered their heads, but said anxiously, "Crown princess, come into the palace and take a look, if it's later, the slave is worried that His Royal Highness the Prince's body will not be able to stand it, after all, His Royal Highness rolled the knife for you at that time, and the wound is not yet complete!" ”
"What do you mean by that? What's wrong with him, Your Highness? What's the matter with the hob couch? I furrowed my eyebrows, and my voice couldn't help but raise a few points.
Seeing my appearance, the palace people wiped the cold sweat from the corners of their foreheads and continued, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace to intercede for you, but the emperor said that he would not agree to let you stay in the Prince's Mansion again, and said..."
Speaking of this, the palace people looked at me with concern, as if they didn't know what to say next or not.
I waved my hand, walked quickly to his side and said, "What else did the emperor say?" My father-in-law has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Hearing me say this, the palace breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The emperor said, the crown princess, you... Nai was born as an ominous person, and he didn't mention Xianyu before he left Xianyu, and now that you come back, he will definitely kill you! Not only that, but he also ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to dissociate himself from you, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not comply, and the emperor was furious, so he ordered the forbidden army to lock him up and torture him until he agreed to divorce his wife. ”
"Divorce wife," I muttered.
I immediately understood in my heart, Yin Linxi's father is doing it for me!
Because he can't torture me directly, after all, I am the wife of the prince of Xianyu Kingdom, and the princess of the former Zhongli.
Even if Zhongli is dead by this time...
Even if I do leave Zhongli without permission, as long as Yin Linxi does not write a letter of resignation, I am still this Xianyu crown princess, at most, I am accused of multiple acts of debauchery, but I will not die for my crimes.
But he is different, as a young monarch, if he kills me easily, and ends up with a treacherous and infamous for bullying the daughter of the dead country, what should he do to block the mouths of the people of the world?
Therefore, if he wants to kill me, he must Yin Linxi personally write a letter of divorce.
So... He will be able to use me as a deviant to leave another country and not follow the laws of the land... Even any reason to put me to death.
No wonder, the Li family will be so active in sending someone to report the news, the purpose is to let me hit the knife, she clearly knows that the emperor is angry at the moment, I will come over again...
Even if you don't die, you have to give half a life.
And Li's unabashed approach, if there is no acquiescence of Yin Linxi's father, even if she is the queen, where does she have the courage to step into such a storm?
They... It's forcing me...
Because they had already expected that I couldn't bear to implicate Yin Linxi, and took the initiative to stand up... Asking him to divorce his wife is the only way now!
"It turns out... I see! I smiled weakly and took two steps towards the entrance of the main hall.
Only then did I suddenly remember another sentence that the palace man said, "And... What did you just say, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by going to the hob couch for me? ”
"This..."The palace man cautiously raised his eyelids to look at me, and saw that I didn't mean to anger him, so he dared to say, "I don't know if the crown princess still remembers the 100,000 elite soldiers..."
"Straight to the point!" I couldn't bear it anymore, so I let out a low roar.
Frightened, the palace man shrank again, and said tremblingly, "Xu is a few days after the crown princess left Xianyu, the emperor organized a consolation ceremony in the palace, to pay tribute to the 100,000 elite soldiers in the heavenly heroic spirit, this ceremony was presided over by a witch priest, and the way of sacrifice was extremely gloomy. ”
The palace man paused.
I nervously hurriedly asked, "What kind of yin damage method?" ”
"Princess! I see you're tired, or... Shall I help you to rest? ”
At that time, Momoshin looked panicked and came over to help me, as if she was afraid that I would know the result.
But I shook off her hand and said to the palace people, "Say! ”
"Princess... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has explained..."
"Enough!"
Momoshin was about to say something, but I abruptly interrupted her.
snatched the long sword from Jingyun's hand again, put it on the palace man's neck, and said sharply, "Say it quickly!" ”
"Yes," the palace man's legs trembled with fright, and his face turned pale, "The so-called hob couch is the priest who ordered people to form the shape of a couch with a blade, and then people climbed over it until the blood in the body flowed all over the couch, and according to the arrangement on the day of the consolation ceremony, the hob couch's ... In fact, it should be the crown princess, but that day, in order to protect the mother, His Royal Highness the prince resolutely refused to say half a word about the mother, and the emperor was furious... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince simply said that he would bear all the faults, and then he lay down on the knife couch... But I didn't think about such a trip, and most of my life was confessed to those blades... Niangniang, you don't know, at that time, the knife couch was full of the blood of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness almost didn't have any intact skin on his body, and even the minions couldn't bear to see it, but despite this, even if a mouthful of blood spit out, His Royal Highness continued to climb on the knife couch, until finally he really couldn't climb anymore, and the emperor called the medical officer to treat His Royal Highness's injuries. His Highness, who had gone for most of his life, lay in bed for almost four months, and then suddenly disappeared without a trace, until today..."
Knife couch...
Lay down for four months ...
A few thunderbolts exploded out of thin air in my head.
The explosion made me dizzy on the top of my head, and I almost fell to the ground with my center of gravity under my feet.
It was only then that I remembered that all his abnormalities during this period of time came to mind.
No wonder...
No wonder he was perfunctory when I asked him where the shocking wounds on his chest came from, and it was no wonder that the woman in black would say such things on the "Heavenly Steps".
Originally... The culprit of all this is me! He did it because he didn't want me to feel guilty!
But the more this happened, the more I felt the weight of my sin.
"Princess!" Seeing my figure shaking, Momoxin hurriedly stepped forward to support my body, her face full of worry, "Princess, or... I'm still..."
Momohin suddenly paused as she spoke, and looked at me with a complicated expression.
I waved my hand and was about to walk to the door.
"Girl, where are you going?"
Shocking Cloud spoke out at the right time, and at some point it had already reached my side and grabbed my arm.
"Where are you going?" I pulled the corners of my mouth sadly, my eyes ached, and then something quickly fell from my eyes, "Where else can I go?" He was so badly wounded, and now he still suffers for me? Naturally, I was going to save him! ”
"Girl, you should calm down first, you believe this man so much just by his words, what if it is a trap? If it's a trap, wouldn't you be falling into someone else's hands by doing this? ”
"Shocking clouds!"
I exclaimed, and when I looked back at the clouds, she was stunned.
"Jingyun, there are some things I can't explain clearly, but now even if it's a trap, I'm willing to go away!"
"Girl, you..."
Jingyun hesitated for a moment, then took back the sword in my hand, and said with a solemn expression, "If that's the case, the girl will take me with you!" Anyway, there is also a personal care, right? ”
At this moment, the tip of my nose was obviously getting more and more sore.
But strangely, there was a warm current in his chest.
"Let's go!" I looked at it a little unnaturally.
Then he took my hand and walked straight to the door of the prince's mansion.
Merely...
We haven't been able to get close to the front of the door yet.
A large group of people walked in outside the door.
Who?
I looked intently at the crowd, but it was a handsome man.
Dressed in a robe with red moire on a black background, his figure was long, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he only wore a bun on the top of his head like satin, and the rest was soft and scattered behind him, without a trace of messiness.
"Su'er!"
The moment the man's handsome eyebrows and eyes saw me, the smile in his eyes flowed for a moment, and the brilliance was like the bright sunshine in March, which went straight to the hearts of people.
"Su'er!" Seeing that I didn't respond, he called again.
Immediately, the pace of his feet also quickened a little.
"Shen... Shen Xiao? ”
That's when I finally came to my senses... Isn't this person in front of him Shen Xiao, who he hasn't seen for a long time?
"You're finally back!"
His ink-stained eyes were unabashedly filled with ecstasy.
Then, when I was at a loss, he suddenly hugged me into his arms...
