Shen Xingwan accompanied the Ninth Princess until midnight and did not rest in the side hall.

The next day, she woke up early, and she was not used to it in the palace.

She stood under the eaves and looked out over the entire palace, probably because of the heavy snow and winter, and there was a sense of lifeless depression.

The people around the ninth princess came to invite her to the dining room to dine with the ninth princess.

"Come and sit down, breakfast will be coming soon." The ninth princess greeted her with swollen eyes,

The palace maid on the side used a shelled egg to cover her eyes, and the ninth princess leaned back on the chair and said leisurely, "It's so comfortable." ”

After the meal, the ninth princess consciously was the host and could not neglect the guests. Cheer up and take her to the plum garden to walk in the snow and look for plums.

A red plum blooming in white, and everyone who really looks at it is in a better mood.

The ninth princess took the scissors herself, "Cut two branches and send them to the imperial grandmother and the imperial brother." ”

In fact, the relationship between the ninth princess and everyone is not bad, probably because the royal family has weaknesses and the emperor has a good temper, so the Xiling royal family does not have much struggle.

As soon as she finished cutting, the big eunuch beside the emperor came, "I've seen the ninth princess." ”

"How is the imperial brother's health today?" The ninth princess said with concern.

The chief eunuch said, "Your Majesty is in a good mood today, the old slave is here to pass on the princess and Miss Zhou." ”

Shen Xingwan raised her eyebrows, the emperor wants to see her?

The two of them went to the Yimei Garden with the eunuch, which is said to be the place where the emperor spent the longest time in winter.

In the garden, there are various varieties of plum blossoms, and a palace is located in the plum garden, and the sound of the piano is faintly heard.

The two went in and knelt down on the cushion, "I've seen the emperor's brother (the emperor)." ”

The emperor leaned in his chair, his legs covered with felt, and his voice was lazy, "Get up." ”

The two got up, and the ninth princess pulled Shen Xingwan to sit down beside her.

The emperor had them served plum cakes and hot milk.

The sound of silk and bamboo in the room still didn't stop, and Shen Xingwan secretly poked and poked at the emperor a few times, and he really looked sick.

At the end of the song, the performers retreated, and the room fell silent for a moment.

The emperor asked slowly, "What does Jiu'er think about marrying to go to Northern Xinjiang?" ”

The ninth princess bit her lip aggrievedly, "Jiu'er listens to the arrangement of the imperial brother." ”

"Heh, I didn't arrange it, it was arranged by the regent." The emperor looked at the ninth princess with a smile, "What does Jiu'er think of him using your marriage to win over the feudal ambassador Locke?" ”

The ninth princess lowered her head with red eyes and didn't say a word...

Shen Xingwan chuckled in his heart, what should have come has come after all.

The emperor obviously didn't intend to let go of the ninth princess and continued, "It seems that Jiu'er doesn't know anything in his heart, so is your choice to betray the royal family for his use?" ”

The ninth princess stood up suddenly, walked over and knelt down, "Imperial brother Jiu'er doesn't dare, the regent takes care of me a lot, and I want to repay him for his protection." ”

The emperor looked at her leisurely, "Jiu'er, you were originally a lady of the Son of Heaven and a royal princess. With or without him, you'll be alive and well. ”

That being said, it is easy to give up the relationship for so many years.

The ninth princess knelt straight and didn't speak, her heart was in turmoil.

"As soon as Jiu'er unites Northern Xinjiang, it is the time to change the dynasty, do you want to see your relatives and sisters become the souls of her swords?" The Emperor asked.

The ninth princess couldn't speak, and tears fell again.

She didn't know what she was going to do, on one side was blood, on the other side was Qi Han, for her she didn't want to see either side hurt.

What she had always been afraid of in her heart was punctured by the emperor, and she didn't know how to face it.

Shen Xingwan also sensed that something was wrong, such a confidential matter, why did the emperor specially call her and say it in front of her. After all, nominally she and Qi Han must be on the same side, and she wonders if the emperor and others are going to turn around and kill people.

"Jiu'er, you are also a person who has studied since childhood, what will happen to the royal family who died in the country, you must know it very well in your heart." The Emperor stabbed her again.

"Brother Huang, don't be like this, don't force me..."The ninth princess said while crying.

The Emperor sighed lightly, "It wasn't me who dragged you into this matter from beginning to end, it was the regent who insisted on you getting married. ”

The ninth princess collapsed to the ground almost weakly, facing the cruelest truth.

Regardless of Qi Han's kindness to her in the past, he did take advantage of her in this matter.

Her identity is too special, nominally a royal princess, but in fact, everyone knows that she has an unusual relationship with Qi Han. It is most suitable for her to marry in Northern Xinjiang, and it is also the most beneficial to Qi Han.

The ninth princess knelt there alone, crying heartbreakingly.

The emperor said, "If the regent sees your tears, I don't know if he can't bear to take advantage of you like this." ”

"He... No. The Ninth Princess defended, "He wouldn't do this to me." ”

The emperor propped his chin and asked her, "Then I ask you, if Qi Han starts a station with the royal family, the 300,000 male soldiers in Northern Xinjiang have absolute influence on the overall situation, and as the princess of Northern Xinjiang, who will you lead Northern Xinjiang to fight for?" ”

The ninth princess cried until she trembled, and when that day really came, what should she do, and what could she do?

The princess, who has always been innocent, has been pushed to a position on the cusp.

She subconsciously looked at Shen Xingwan helplessly, and Shen Xingwan sighed, "You just forced her to death, and she can't give you a satisfactory answer." ”

The emperor did not get angry because of her sudden words, but followed her words, "I just let her recognize the reality and understand what it means for me to marry in Northern Xinjiang." ”

"What do you think of the child Jiu'er in Zuo Guifei's belly?" The Emperor continued to ask.

Shen Xingwan felt that the sick and weak emperor had turned black, and the whole one was crazy and tricky.

"Do you think he's doing the right thing?" The emperor gently wiped away the tears of the ninth princess, "He is good to you, but he is a thief to the royal family, and you are the princess of Xiling is the royal bloodline, I hope you remember this." ”

The ninth princess repeatedly broke the defense, and finally the whole person cried, and the emperor ordered the palace people to help her down to rest.

Shen Xingwan saluted silently, wanting to retreat.

The emperor suddenly spoke, "Miss Seven stays, I have something to say." ”

Shen Xingwan looked at him and thought that the emperor would not be ready to give her a beating, but unfortunately she would definitely not be able to cry.

Shen Xingwan lowered his eyebrows and pretended to be dead, and the emperor looked at him at will.

The emperor was in a good mood and praised her, "It's indeed a beauty, no wonder Qi Han tried his best to get you over." ”

Doesn't sound right...

"What does Miss Seven think of the Regent?" The emperor asked deliberately.

Shen Xingwan really wanted to answer, looking at it with his eyes... She looked up and whispered, "He said he was my savior." ”

Answering nonsense that is equal to not saying.

The emperor finally sat up straight and said solemnly, "Miss Shen has not seen her name for a long time, I didn't expect to see you in Xiling." ”

Shen Xingwan's heart tightened, and his face remained unchanged.
