Chapter 20: A Ray of Fragrance (2)
Wang Shuqiu said: "Strong words. You call the criminal department Shangshu to come over, and I'll ask him. Wei Zhongxian said: "Lord Shangshu is a member of the imperial court, who dares to question him except for the emperor today." Zhu Youxiao said: "Sister Huang, each of you is doing your duty, and it is not appropriate to exceed your authority." Wang Shuqiu said: "Okay! Then I will make an agreement with you in front of the emperor that as long as I kill Nurhachi, I will pardon the lives of thirty members of the Jiang family. But you are treacherous, ignore the king, and advocate without permission, can you be convicted? ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Princess, what do you have to prove that you assassinated Nurhachi." So far, you can't prove it, which makes it difficult for the minions. What's more, the Jiang family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and killed loyal ministers in vain, this is a capital crime of the Nine Clans, and it is not allowed to be a child's play. The emperor remembered that you were the eldest princess, and the emperor's beloved daughter gave you a step down, so that you could retreat. You must know that this dynasty does not allow women to interfere in the government, and you, as a princess, should love yourself, how can you destroy the law of your ancestors. In the future, under Jiuquan, will you make the emperor ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, and trap the emperor for disloyalty, filial piety and injustice? The slave did this, and everything was for the emperor. ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded with great satisfaction, and praised again and again: "It's really the minister of the society!" Wang Shuqiu clenched her fists with both hands, and looked at Wei Zhongxian with fire-breathing eyes, eager to step forward and break him into pieces. Wei Zhongxian had the emperor's backing, looked at the angry Wang Shuqiu, and was complacent, as if he was saying that he dared to fight with me, and he was not qualified enough.
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I don't like fighting, I only like fighting." Come on, bring wine. After pouring three glasses of wine, Zhu Youxiao said: "The two of you will write it off in front of me, how about it?" Wei Zhongxian hurriedly picked up the cup and said, "It's all up to the emperor!" Zhu Youxiao said: "Sister Huang, I don't know if I am willing to appreciate a face, after drinking this glass of wine, everyone is happy, why not." Wang Shuqiu knew that this little emperor had been confused by Wei Zhongxian, and it was useless to say more. She took the wine glass and drank it all, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine retires!" ”
After leaving the palace and returning to the princess's mansion in a sedan chair, Wang Shuqiu's tears did not stop. There was a great opportunity to take revenge but let it slip away, she secretly blamed herself, why was she soft at the critical moment, couldn't she give up her life to take revenge? I sat like this all night.
When Zizhu combed Wang Shuqiu's hair, she exclaimed: "Master, you have a lot of gray hair!" Wang Shuqiu said: "If I don't take revenge, my hair will all be white." Zizhu said: "Master, don't go to revenge, it's too dangerous!" Who in the capital doesn't know that Wei Zhongxian is the biggest and can't afford to provoke him. Wang Shuqiu said in a daze: "Zizhu, I decided to assassinate Wei Zhongxian." ”
Zizhu knelt down and whimpered: "Master, don't go." Slave and maid are worried about you. The last time I killed Nurhachi, the slave didn't get a good night's sleep at all. This time he went to kill Wei Zhongxian again, and his warriors were like clouds, and others couldn't get close at all. He also controls the imperial court, what are the 'five tigers', 'five biao', 'ten dogs', 'ten children' and so on. ”
Wang Shuqiu shouted: "Do you want innocent people to die in vain? You told me how to face them under the Nine Springs. Zizhu hugged Wang Shuqiu's leg and cried: "Master, let's not take revenge, let the slave take care of you for the rest of your life!" Wang Shuqiu said: "If I don't take revenge, I won't be at peace in this life." Zizhu, you should understand my feelings. Zizhu said: "The slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid all understand." But the price of revenge is too high. Wang Shuqiu said: "I'm not afraid of death, what am I afraid of?" Yang Tian sighed: "I should have died a long time ago, and God will treat me well if I can live until now." ”
She stood up and went to get the Toei knife hanging on the wall. Zizhu hugged Wang Shuqiu's thigh and said, "Master, you can't be so impulsive. It's not worth giving your life in vain. Wang Shuqiu said: "Let me kill Wei Gou." Zizhu said: "The slave will never let you go, unless you kill me." Wang Shuqiu was a little annoyed and said, "You dare to disobey me!" Zizhu said: "The slave will never dare to disobey you, but let you go to death, the slave and the maid can't do it." The slave believes that Shiloh will not let you go if he is still there. ”
"Shiloh!" Wang Shuqiu thought for a moment and said slowly: "He died unjustly!" He died for me, he died for me! Zizhu said: "In this world, only the master cares about the slave and the maid, if you die, the slave and the maid will never live alone." You kill the slave first, and the slave dies without regrets! Wang Shuqiu sighed: "How could I kill you, I won't kill you!" It's a pity that the good people suffer, and the traitors are in charge. I hate that I'm too incompetent to do the right thing for heaven, what's the point of living, it's better to die! ”
She drew her sword to wipe her neck, her purple beads were fast, and she didn't know where she got the strength, so she desperately grabbed the hilt of the sword, and shouted in her mouth: "Someone, someone!" Cui Wuyuan was the first to rush in, and Zizhu shouted: "The master is going to commit suicide, hurry up!" "Cui Wuyuan is a man after all, and he has a lot of strength, so he can take the sword back with one shot. Zizhu hugged Wang Shuqiu and cried: "Master, don't think about it, don't do stupid things!" The master and servant hugged their heads and wept.
For dozens of days, Zizhu never left an inch, for fear that Wang Shuqiu would not be able to think of suicide for a while. Wang Shuqiu sighed every day, with white hair and a reduced appearance. Zizhu said: "Master, let's go to Yuhua Villa to step on spring, okay?" Wang Shuqiu said: "What if you go, it will only increase your sadness." Zizhu said: "Scatter your heart, and feel better!" Wang Shuqiu knew what he meant, so he said: "I haven't been there for a long time, it's good to take a look!" ”
When she came to Yuhua Villa, Wang Shuqiu came to the place of red leaves, but it was a depression. Wang Shuqiu sighed: "Things are not people! "Yes!" One of the people next to him also sighed. Wang Shuqiu was startled, and when she looked sideways, it turned out to be Xu Kuang. I saw that he was extremely haggard. Wang Shuqiu said: "Lord Xu! Xu Kuang said: "Princess! The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly, a beautiful past came to their hearts.
Xu Kuang said: "Princess, are you okay?" Wang Shuqiu said: "Not good! What about you? Xu Kuang said: "Me too!" Wang Shuqiu said: "There are too many unhappy things in the world! Xu Kuang said: "Yes! Wang Shuqiu said: "It's windy here, Lord Xu, retire!" Xu Kuang sighed: "It's time to retire, it's time to retire!" I'm the only one in the world! He slowly paced to the edge of a cliff and jumped down sharply.
Wang Shuqiu: "Ah! With a bang, he rushed to the cliff, and it was dark below, and he would definitely die if he jumped. Wang Shuqiu couldn't help but "Wow! Why would such a good person commit suicide? Unless he's not happy with his life. Zizhu didn't expect this to happen, and when she saw Wang Shuqiu crying in tears, she could only sigh secretly.
I don't know how many days have passed, Wang Shuqiu's condition has not improved. She patted Zizhu's hand and said, "My illness can't be cured in the capital, let's leave here and live in a place where no one knows us!" Zizhu said: "Okay! Slave and maid, let's do it! Wang Shuqiu said: "You go and ask Brother Cui if he is willing to go." If you want to go, let him resign and go together! Zizhu said: "He will definitely go!" ”
Someone outside the door shouted: "Princess, princess! I saw a brocade guard running over, and it was Cui Wuyuan's subordinates who came, and as soon as he saw Wang Shuqiu, he said, "Princess, it's not good!" Wang Shuqiu Huo Ran sat up and asked, "What's the matter?" The brocade guard said: "Master Cui was arrested by Dongchang and is being interrogated, and I heard that he is going to be beheaded." Zizhu "ah", and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground. Wang Shuqiu got out of bed and said, "I'll go to Dongchang to ask for someone!" Zizhu said: "Master, your illness is not well yet!" Wang Shuqiu said: "People are almost gone, what do you care about?" ”
The East Factory is located on the north side of Dong'anmen. Wang Shuqiu hurried to the lobby with her tired body and mind. Soon, when I came to the lobby, I was guarded outside the door, and the idle people refused to enter the lobby. Wang Shuqiu didn't have a good look at these evil dogs, and said, "Get out!" He was dressed in princess clothes, how could these fans not know each other, and hurriedly stepped aside.
Wang Shuqiu stepped into the lobby of the East Factory, and on both sides stood full of fans with their hands pressing the handle of the knife, all of them were alive and vigorous, their eyes did not squint, and they were majestic and terrifying. The four big characters of "the heart of the court" are hung high in the hall. Under the plaque sat Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch who had been in power for a while. There was a prisoner kneeling in the hall, needless to say that it was Cui Wuyuan.
A fan said: "The case of Cui Wuyuan's murder has been revealed, please set the rules of the factory!" Wei Zhongxian looked at Wang Shuqiu, slapped the plank, and said: "The evidence of the murder of the criminal Cui Wuyuan is conclusive, pull it out and behead it!" "There is already a fan who wants to drag Cui Wuyuan out. Cui Wuyuan roared: "Wei Zhongxian, you framed a good person, you can't die well!" ”
