Chapter 257: Lonely and Empty
"Chu Wanjing, that guy was already thinking hard, and now she is down like that, and you still bring things to see her with great fanfare.
As far as the relationship between the two of you is concerned, she doesn't think you're gloating. ”
Si Ning glanced at her with the eyes of a fool, "If you were her, would you be happy?" ”
Chu Jiajing: ......
"This princess, this princess is well-intentioned, she is a gentleman with the heart of a villain, no wonder she can do that kind of thing!" Chu Jiajing said angrily.
Although Chu Wanjing's murder of the Queen Mother was not disclosed for the sake of the royal family's face, it was not without a little rumor, but the people in the Shen Criminal Division arrested the maid beside her with great fanfare.
Everyone understands it, but they just don't say it.
"It's just self-inflicted." Hearing Chu Jiajing say this, Si Ning's eyes darkened, it is okay for people to use some means in order to make their lives better, but they still have to have a bottom line as a person, and know what to do and what not to do.
That's what makes people human.
But obviously, what Chu Wanjing has done can no longer be called a person.
"She's so kind to you, you still think about her, it's really a sisterhood." Si Ning glanced at Chu Jiajing meaningfully.
"Are you mocking Princess Ben?" Chu Jiajing glared at her.
Si Ning looked at Chu Jiajing's fierce and inward-looking appearance, and smiled, "Forget it, it's good for you to do this." ”
After finishing speaking, Si Ning withdrew his eyes, turned his head and sat down, and continued to enjoy his food.
She still had a heart while enjoying it, this Chu Jiajing, why didn't she see that she was a knife-mouthed tofu heart before, well, at least in Chu Wanjing.
She obviously already knew that Chu Wanjing deliberately framed her, and she still thought about her, and it seemed that she was also an emotional person.
But also, Si Ning's eyes were slightly dark, if it weren't for this, after the defeat of Dazheng at the beginning, she would not have taken the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Huns and relatives.
Although she was confused at the time, she was also in this way.
That will levy the external war with the Xiongnu has just been defeated, the army is lost, the internal Yellow River flood has just passed, the people are displaced, and everything is in ruins.
Internal and external troubles, the Huns finally bit the big sign, naturally they wanted to bite a big piece of meat, but the military expenses used in the expedition and the arrears used in disaster relief have made the already not rich big sign overwhelmed.
Finally negotiated with the Huns to pay for the consolation, and there was actually a lion who opened his mouth to make peace with the big sign, and there were two candidates at that time, one was Chu Jiajing, and the other was naturally Chu Wanjing.
Such a humiliating thing as reparations and relatives has never happened since the founding of the country, and the subjects of the great levy are all ashamed of it, but they are confined to the status quo and cannot refuse it outright.
After all, toughness also depends on absolute strength, but at that time, the great levy was troubled internally and externally, and where did the strength come from, it could only knock out teeth and swallow blood.
However, Chu Huaiyan, who had just ascended the throne at that time, refused to make peace with his relatives, and bluntly said that the matter of consolation money was already a shame on his ancestors, and he didn't even think about it.
In order to survive for a long time, the honor and disgrace of a country are tied to the princess of the dynasty, what is this!
Send a concubine to live in peace all her life, and I don't know where to use the general!
If the Huns insisted on doing it, he wouldn't mind fighting again.
But Chu Huaiyan, who was facing this situation of internal and external troubles as soon as he ascended the throne, did not know that he was facing a multifaceted and arduous situation.
Fighting a war is light to say, but what the great sign at that time needed was to recuperate and fight again?
Where did the soldiers come from?
Where does the baggage come from?
Where does the money come from?
Although Chu Huaiyan verbally refused to make peace, the courtiers and the people asked for the princess to marry.
Under the successive natural and man-made disasters, the backbone of the subjects of the Great Levy has bent down.
What's more, in their opinion, this is a very cost-effective thing, and only the princess alone has been exchanged for the peace of the people.
As long as the knife is not pierced in one's body, others will never know how painful it is.
Princess, princess, it sounds noble, but what does it have to do with them?
There are even many Confucian scholars who meditated at the entrance of the imperial city, saying that since the princess was supported by all the people, she should sacrifice for all the people.
Sacrifice the small self to achieve the big self. This is the bearing that a princess should have.
Thinking of this, a touch of sarcasm flashed in Si Ning's eyes, no matter how high-sounding they said, they didn't want to exchange the life of a weak woman for their own stability and peace.
They still call themselves gentlemen, but they are just hypocrites.
Si Ning drank the peach blossom wine in the cup, glanced at Chu Jiajing beside him, and his cousin resisted the pressure of the courtiers and the people and refused to make peace, but in the end, this fool still took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Xiongnu.
Chu Wanjing has been pampered since she was a child, and she was raised by Concubine Ming with an arrogant temperament, and her brain is not very good, and I don't know how she lived in the Xiongnu later?
Looking at the regret in Si Ning's eyes, Chu Jiajing frowned, what kind of eyes did she have?
As soon as she wanted to ask, she saw Si Ning withdraw her eyes and glared at her fiercely, and her whole body was full of anger.
Si Ning's small movements naturally couldn't hide Chu Qionghua who was sitting next to her, and Chu Qionghua's hand under the table dragged Si Ning, "Sit down, don't look around." ”
"Hmm." Si Ning responded, she was not very interested, because Chu Jiajing's matter was even more panicked now, "It's too panicked inside, I'll go out for a while." ”
Chu Qionghua didn't expect that she would make a fuss as soon as she said her, and she wanted to say a few words about her, but in the end, she was afraid of the occasion, so she only told her to bring dewdrops and go early and return early.
Si Ning responded one by one, and then quietly left the table with dewdrops.
After walking out of the Taiji Palace, the dew drops clothed her with a big coat, "County Lord, beware of catching a cold." ”
Behind him was a noisy and lively hall, and in front of him was a brightly lit corridor, but Si Ning felt extremely lonely at the moment.
She looked up at the night sky, the dark night sky was dotted with countless stars, and the half-round full moon hung high above the night sky, which seemed mysterious and silent.
Time is constantly flowing, but they seem to be eternal.
She is obviously with her family at the moment, but she is alone.
The people in the hall were laughing and laughing, but they were happy but empty, Si Ning had never felt that she was a hypocritical person, but today, somehow, she suddenly became hypocritical.
"Dewdrop, do you say this moon is eternal?" Si Ning said suddenly.
"Of course, this moon has been like this for thousands of years." Although Dew didn't know why the county lord asked this, she replied.
"Why does the county lord ask that?"
"It's nothing, forget it, let's go back."
Dew looked at the back of the county lord turning around, and felt that the county lord was strange today.
