Chapter 228: She's Actually Selfish
King Shun looked at her in a daze, as if he didn't know her. Is this still the princess who is gentle and kind and will think about him everywhere?
Mingzong was not surprised, if such a thing happened to his child, he might not be able to forgive the other party.
He understands and understands, but he can't allow Princess Shun to do.
"Princess Shun, you are very pitiful, but you shouldn't add your pity to others, and use Tong and others to harm the regent."
Princess Shun's eyes were full of scarlet, "Why can't you?" My children and I are so pitiful, but the regent is alive and well, and he can still enjoy the favor and blessing of the emperor, why? ”
"Is it just because he is the child of the first emperor?"
Mingzong nodded heavily, "Yes!" As the daughter-in-law of the royal family, you know this best. When a crisis came, the royal family and the imperial court would give priority to protecting the emperor and his concubines and children, followed by the royal family. ”
"After the palace turmoil occurred that year, priority would be given to protecting the first emperor and his concubines and children. Besides, the regent is the son of the emperor's favorite woman, and if it were you, you would also try your best to protect it. ”
Princess Shun roared angrily, "I'm not reconciled! If it weren't for the first emperor who transferred the prince, my child would not have died, and I would not have been unable to get pregnant again! ”
"All this is the fault of the first emperor and the regent, so I want the first emperor to suffer, and I want the regent to die in endless pain, so as to be worthy of the sins suffered by me and my children."
Mingzong sighed, "The first emperor did not transfer King Shun back then. The first emperor knew that you were pregnant, so he asked King Shun to stay at home to protect you and avoid going wrong. ”
King Shun said dryly, "I took people to the palace to protect the first emperor." At that time, I had already arranged it in the palace. As long as you stay in your compound, nothing will happen. ”
"However, you did not stay in the courtyard, but walked around the palace without saying a word, and ran to the gate of the palace. You knew it was dangerous, and you ran around. It will eventually become like that, and you have a lot of responsibility. ”
It was only after he returned to the palace that he learned that the princess complained that he had to go to the palace to help the first emperor, so he walked around the palace and tossed around, intending to make him rush back, and that happened.
Mingzong, "......"
After doing it for a long time, it was Princess Shun who did it herself, and she had the face to blame all the faults on the first emperor and the regent.
"I'm not wrong!" Princess Shun stiffened her neck, "If you didn't have to go to the palace to help the first emperor, would I toss like that?" ”
"I beg you not to go to the palace, think of the child in my womb, but you have to go to the palace, and say that this is your duty as a courtier. Duty, duty, you've always been like this, when did you think about me? ”
King Shun seemed to be ten years old, "I didn't think about you? You eat and wear so well, where did you come from? It was given by the Holy One! ”
"Do you think that without the grace of the first emperor and the saints, you can have such an honorable good life? Can you come out on top in the circle of noblewomen? Will there be so many people who will please you? Look at those unfavored royal children, what kind of life are they doing? ”
Princess Shun opened her mouth, wanting to refute but couldn't. She has been a royal daughter-in-law for decades, and she knows too well what kind of life those unfavored royal children live, and even people with a little real power can not take it seriously.
King Shun sighed, "You only see what you want to see, but you forget how everything you have came from." ”
"If I'm not afraid that Your Majesty will be angry, if I hadn't entered the palace to help the first emperor, do you think our family would have a good life now, Princess? Think about what happened to those who didn't help the first emperor during the palace chaos. ”
During the palace turmoil that year, all those who protected themselves or took advantage of the chaos to seek benefits either became marginal figures, or the entire family declined, and some of them broke off their inheritance.
Princess Shun sat on the ground, "It's not like this, it's not like this, it's you who killed my child, it was you who killed my child." ”
King Shun looked at Mingzong.
Mingzong motioned for him to solve it himself, and when the matter came to this point, it didn't matter if he did it or not.
King Shun walked in front of Princess Shun and bent his waist: "I know that I owe you what happened to the child back then, so I have been making up for it all these years." It's just that I didn't expect you to do those things in secret, and under my banner. ”
"Sixty percent of the matter between you and the child is my reason, thirty percent is your reason, and the remaining one percent is the cause of the palace chaos, which has nothing to do with the first emperor and the regent. To put it bluntly, in order to shirk your responsibility, you just found the first emperor and the regent as scapegoats. ”
Princess Shun grabbed the corner of his clothes and burst into tears, "It's all your fault!" It's all your fault! If you had listened to me back then, you wouldn't have ......"
"Then you won't have the good life you have now, maybe you have to look at people's faces everywhere, and even our children have to endure the ridicule and abuse of others." King Shun interrupted her.
Princess Shun shook her head, "No, no, no." The first emperor has always relied on you, and let you stay in the palace, I won't blame you. ”
King Shun sighed and sighed, "Why do you deceive yourself. ”
"I didn't!" Princess Shun stood up and stared at him hatefully, "Do you know how I felt when I learned that our child was born and died? ”
King Shun was furious, "Then do you know how many mothers lost their children, how many children became orphans, and how many families were broken up during the palace turmoil?" ”
"Do you see only your pain, do you see the pain of the people? As a member of the royal family, when there is a palace turmoil, I should stand up to protect the people and do my part for the court, so that I can be worthy of my enjoyment over the years! ”
Princess Shun roared like crazy, "What does it matter to me whether those lowly people live or die, my child is the heir of King Shun's mansion......"
"Smack"!
King Shun slapped her and pointed at her with a trembling finger, "Only now have I found out how vicious you are and how much you look down on people. Those people are the people of my Great Moon Dynasty, and the people that my royal family should protect. In your eyes, they are lowly people. ”
Princess Shun covered her mouth, looking a little flustered.
King Shun was powerless to say anything.
He knelt in front of Mingzong and kowtowed three times: "Your Majesty, it was the minister who didn't take care of the backyard that caused such a thing to happen, and the minister is ashamed of the reuse of the first emperor and His Majesty!" ”
"Don't blame King Shun." When Mingzong was about to help him up, he exclaimed, "King Shun! ”
I saw that King Shun directly twisted his neck.
"Bang"!
He fell to the ground and slowly closed his eyes.
"Wang Congcong, please ask the imperial doctor!" Mingzong squatted down, not daring to touch King Shun, "King Shun, why are you so stupid?" I didn't think of anything to do to you. ”
"Ahh Rajah! Princess Shun sat on the ground with a pair of panicked and disbelieving eyes, and looked at King Shun like that, "Lord, why?" Why would you do this? ”
She didn't understand why it had become like this, why did the prince kill himself?
"Princess Shun!" Mingzong stared at her fiercely, "You have killed the regent and countless people, and now you have killed King Shun, you are not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the royal family!" ”
Princess Shun shook her head and denied, "No, I didn't!" ”
"Spread my will, Princess Shun will be demoted to a commoner, and she will parade the streets every day!" Mingzong ordered, "I want her to taste what kind of life she will live after losing the royal blessing!" ”
Immediately, two strong eunuchs stepped forward and forcibly dragged the abolished princess away.
Mingzong sighed: "Come on, bury King Shun with a good life." ”
Perhaps the most unfortunate thing in King Shun's life was to meet his wife.
The other side.
Princess Shun was dragged through the streets by the forbidden army, and the onlookers pointed at her.
"It was this woman who killed her husband and did a lot of things to harm the regent."
"She tossed and killed her own child, but she blamed all the blame on the first emperor and the regent, and she had been wanting to kill the regent for many years, and she was not grateful for the favor of the first emperor and the saint."
"Well deserved! If you want me to say, this kind of woman should be beaten to death. ”
There are many people who use lumps of earth to smash Princess Shun.
Princess Shun had ever encountered such a thing, thinking that she was born in a high family, and she was a princess after marrying the prince, and she was even more sought after, so she didn't dare to treat her like this.
After a while, she was very embarrassed, which was even worse than killing her.
Even more uncomfortable for her is still to come.
From this day on, she slept in a dark and damp cell at night, and roamed the streets of Yuedu during the day, not to mention taking a shower and changing clothes, it was impossible to wash her face, the whole person was dirty and smelly, and she had to endure the ridicule and humiliation of those prisoners.
……
Mu Jinghan and Xia Qingli, who were on the road, received Mingzong's flying pigeon biography.
After reading the letter, the two sighed in unison.
"It turns out that all this was done by Princess Shun." Xia Qingli shook her head, "I really can't sympathize with her." After all, it was her selfishness that caused that situation. ”
Mu Jinghan had a vague guess at the beginning, but now his guess has come true, and he can't tell what he feels in his heart.
"The only thing I didn't expect was that King Shun would be so strong and commit suicide in front of the saint."
Xia Qingli can understand, "Princess Shun has been able to do so many things over the years, all under his banner and using his interpersonal relationships. Even if the saint doesn't pursue this matter, King Shun won't be happy. ”
"He committed suicide, but he can still save his life and protect those people in the Shun Palace."
Mu Jinghan understood this, "This matter is solved, and it is your business that remains." When your business is settled, it's time to talk about the two of us. ”
Before Xia Qingli could speak, he heard the voice of the King of Chu.
"Don't talk nonsense, the regent doesn't have anything to talk about with you." The king of Chu carried a basket of things and got into the carriage.
He handed the basket to Xia Qingli, "Lord Fu'an, taste the freshly made pastry." ”
The convoy not only has guards, but also a special cook, who is responsible for taking care of the three meals a day for everyone in the convoy.
Xia Qingli thanked him, took the basket and took out the pastry plate, and then picked up a piece of mung bean cake to eat.
"No matter how much the King of Chu opposes, it's useless." Mu Jinghan said lightly.
