For the daughter of Princess Tao Ran, the old emperor actually didn't have much affection.

When he first learned that she had been born, the old emperor's reaction was very flat, and he was even prepared for the child's early death.

After all, it is extremely difficult to raise children in the palace, and the death of the prince and princess often happens.

A princess like Princess Tao Ran, who is not taken seriously, will inevitably not be taken care of too well, and there is a high probability of early death.

But the facts were beyond the expectations of the old emperor, and Princess Tao Ran grew up smoothly.

Yesterday, when he learned the news of Princess Tao Ran's suicide, the old emperor's first reaction was to feel ashamed.

The princess of a dignified country wants to die or live for a man.

I don't have the backbone to be a princess at all, and I really lose the royal face!

Later, the old emperor thought about it again and felt that this matter was a good opportunity to test Xiao Ti.

He wanted to point out Princess Tao Ran to Xiao Ti and see how Xiao Ti reacted?

If Xiao Ti refuses, it means that Xiao Ti does not really surrender to him as an emperor.

On the contrary, it shows that Xiao Ti does not have a heart of disobedience.

Who knew that he hinted at so many words, but Xiao Ti just didn't pick up.

In the end, Xiao Ti also threw the pot on him, the father.

The old emperor was depressed for a while, and finally decided not to go around in circles with him, and said straight to the point.

"I am very busy with government affairs, and I have been in poor health recently, so I really can't spare time to accompany Tao Ran often, and I apologize for this.

In order to make up for Tao Ran, I plan to fulfill her obsession and let her marry you, what do you think? ”

Xiao Ti immediately said: "Weichen already has a wife in his family, and Princess Tao Ran has a daughter's body, so she must not be a concubine!" ”

The old emperor: "Then divorce your wife and remarry, or let Yu Yuan be your concubine and Tao Ran as your wife." ”

Xiao Ti: "It was His Majesty's will to marry a wife at the beginning, and now he wants to let Weichen divorce his wife and remarry, isn't it against the holy will?" How does this make the people of the world view Weichen in the future? ”

The old emperor stared at him: "So, are you unwilling to marry Tao Ran?" ”

"Princess Tao Ran is a golden branch and jade leaf, and being able to marry her is a blessing from her previous life.

But His Majesty had already decreed marriage for Weichen before, and everyone in the world knew it at this time.

If His Majesty decrees to marry Wechen again, and asks Wechen to divorce his wife and remarry, it is really a treacherous act.

Weichen lost his integrity and was poked in the back.

But if the people of the world feel that His Majesty's holy decree is changed overnight, and it will damage His Majesty's image in the hearts of the people of the world, it will be a big deal! ”

The old emperor sank his face: "Presumptuous! How dare you say that I am treacherous?! ”

Xiao Ti knelt down with his forehead on the ground.

"Weichen's words are inappropriate, please calm your anger."

The old emperor's voice contained anger.

"You don't want to talk to me, I only want to ask you one thing now, are you willing to marry Tao Ran?"

A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Ti's forehead, and he had already prepared for the worst in his heart.

"Wechen doesn't want to."

The old emperor's gaze quickly turned cold.

Now he just asked Xiao Ti to marry a princess, and Xiao Ti was unwilling.

Wouldn't it be more difficult for him to let Xiao Ti do something else in the future?

Old Emperor: "Are you sure you won't change?" ”

Xiao Ti said without hesitation.

"Don't change."

The old emperor asked again: "If you don't obey the order, do you know what the end is?" ”

Xiao Ti raised his hands, took off the crown on his head, put it on the ground beside him, and then respectfully kowtowed to the old emperor.

"If you don't obey the order, you will not be killed!

Weichen is willing to die. ”

Seeing his resolute appearance, the old emperor felt a little appreciation.

"Are you really going to lose your life for a woman?"

Xiao Ti said slowly.

"Your Majesty has taught Weichen since he was a child that the most important thing in being a man is to be loyal and upright.

You can't get carried away just because you're in a high position, and you can't be ungrateful because you protect yourself.

Wechen has always followed your teachings.

Whether it is for the family or for His Majesty, Weichen must be consistent. ”

When the old emperor heard this, he was quite moved.

What Xiao Ti said is not unreasonable.

If Xiao Ti can divorce his wife and remarry in order to protect himself today, will Xiao Ti be able to betray him as an emperor for his own interests in the future?

Rather than raising a white-eyed wolf, the old emperor would rather be tired and continue to maintain the status quo.

Those who are obedient and obedient are easy to find, but those who are loyal and upright are rare.

The former can make people feel good, but when it comes to the critical moment, the latter is the most reliable.

The wrinkles on the old emperor's face relaxed a little, and the gaze that looked at Xiao Ti became much gentler.

But his voice remained stern.

"I am willing to marry the princess to you, because I can afford you, and you dare to resist the decree? What a bold idea!

Come on, take Xiao Ti down and scold him with a cane ten times to set an example! ”

Xiao Ti paused: "Weichen thank Your Majesty for your kindness." ”

Soon Xiao Ti was taken down.

The old emperor glanced at Wei Huaien beside him.

"You go and watch a little, let the guards do a little bit of measure."

As soon as he heard this, Wei Huaien immediately understood in his heart that the emperor was just trying to be a show, not really wanting to blame Xiao Ti.

Wei Wynn walked out of the study room and glanced at the guards who were about to make a move.

The guards understood, and deliberately changed a hollow court staff.

The staff looked thick, but it didn't hurt when it was hit.

Just as they were about to make a move, they suddenly heard a hoarse voice.

"Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked for prestige and found that it was Princess Tao Ran who came.

She was supported by two palace maids, her face was pale, she was thin, her eyes were red, her eyelids were still a little puffy, and she had obviously been crying for a long time.

Wynne and the Praetorian Guards saluted her.

"Meet Her Highness the Princess."

Princess Tao Ran didn't look at others, and stared at Xiao Ti with a pair of eyes.

"Cousin Mozhu, would you really rather be beaten than marry me?"

Xiao Ti responded calmly: "I am very grateful for the princess's love, but I'm sorry, I have no chance with you in this life." ”

Tears flowed from Princess Tao Ran's eyes.

She cried and cried and laughed, and the laughter was desperate and crazy.

"Good! You're tired! Since you are ruthless to me, then don't blame me for being unjust to you! ”

She looked at the two guards with the staff and said with hatred.

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up yet! ”

The guards hurriedly picked up their canes and struck them at Xiao Ti's back.

They seemed to have used a lot of strength at first, but in fact, they quietly unloaded most of their strength at the moment they fell, and the court staff was hollow, so it didn't hurt at all when it was put on Xiao Ti's back.

Princess Tao Ran watched Xiao Ti being beaten, and she only felt angry in her heart.

"As long as you beg me now, I can consider interceding for you and let my father spare you."

Xiao Ti ignored her.

Seeing that he didn't even give himself a straight eye, Princess Tao Ran hated it even more.

She yelled at the two guards.

"Didn't you eat? Why didn't you make a sound at all? If you don't have the strength, you can fight someone else! ”
