Chapter 16: Disaster to the Fish in the Pond (Part I)
"Someone! Pull Princess Changshan out ......"
There was an imperceptible hint of relaxation on the prince's face.
"Father, please Father!" King Jin knelt beside me all at once. At this critical juncture, it was the King of Jin who stood up for me, "Father, as King Wei said, how could a little child in Changshan make up such a lie to frame the prince and deceive his father?" Or Chang Shan was instigated by others to do such a foolish thing. Please ask my father to read that he is still young in Changshan, and he doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, so he will fall lightly! ”
I was about to plead, but King Jin secretly pulled my sleeve and motioned me to kowtow and beg for mercy.
My father's eyes wandered over me, the crown prince and the king of Jin from time to time, and after a while, he muttered: "Princess Changshan framed the prince and deceived the king, which is really a great crime!" But I remembered his youth and ignorance, so I took it lightly. From now on, Princess Changshan was grounded and thought about Yingxuan, and she was not allowed to go out unless she was edicted. Concubine Zheng Xian of Anren Hall did not discipline the princess effectively, and was punished for half a year. Luo Yingxuan raised Mama, trained Mama and other people to take responsibility for twenty years, in order to set an example! ”
I was stunned and my mind went blank. King Jin tugged at the corner of my coat again, and I remembered that I should now thank my father.
"Come on, send Princess Changshan back to the palace!" The father's voice was so cold, without a trace of emotion.
I staggered out of Yichun Courtyard, and before the guards who escorted me could hold up my umbrella for me, I stepped into the heavy rain. Raindrops the size of beans fell mercilessly on every part of my body, and I was already unconscious from heartache.
"Father, please allow your son to send Changshan back to the palace. Chang Shan is guilty, but she is young after all, and she must have been frightened at this time. Please also ask the emperor to be gracious! ”
"Quasi-play."
In the Yichun Courtyard, there was a faint conversation between the King of Jin and his father.
The guards kindly held up an umbrella to shield me from the wind and rain, but I refused. I pushed him away, slid out of the Xiande Gate step by step, and ran towards my Luo Yingxuan. In fact, I have no confidence anymore, and what happened just now has already shocked me. This run is just with a sadness and resentment in my heart. Eventually, my feet slipped, and I fell heavily on the icy stone pavement of the long street.
Why? Why did it come to the end that I, an innocent child, became the one to be punished? It was all so inexplicable, like a nightmare. It's just that after waking up from a dream, what awaits me will be a long and unfree day. I cried out loud in the rain, and the rain drenched me, and the tears mixed with the rain tasted so bitter.
I thought I was alone, like a weak grass swaying in the wind and rain, but then a pair of warm hands grabbed me by the arms and pulled me up from the ground.
It turned out to be King Jin.
"Jingjing, if you get rained like this, you'll get sick. I'll send you back to Yingxuan. King Jin looked at me tenderly, his eyes full of pity.
"Brother Jiu......" I choked up, I didn't know what to say, my body didn't know if it was because of excitement or cold, I couldn't help but shiver.
King Jin looked at me with pity, then squatted down, leaned forward and said, "Jingjing must be frightened, come, Brother Jiu will carry you back to Yingxuan." ”
"Brother Jiu, Jingjing is a guilty body, I'm afraid it will affect you." I am grateful for King Jin's kindness. Now that I am avoided, others are afraid to see me, how can I be so close to me. It is precisely because I am grateful for the good intentions of King Jin that I want to reject him. I really can't bother him.
