The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 119 He Forgot Her 1
On the night before the execution, there were sporadic light rains in the sky. Xiao Xuanyu went from Hengwang Mansion to the Imperial Palace. Although he was holding an umbrella, he still got a little wet.

Entering Yuquan Palace, the emperor was in a bad mood when it rained, so he warmed up around the stove in the house, and Concubine Lan was also warming up together.

"I have seen my father and Concubine Lan!" Xiao Xuanyu bowed his head in salute, and the emperor said, "Why are you still in the palace so late? Is there something wrong?"

"My son wants to intercede for Mu Wushuang."

The emperor rubbed his hands together and gave a sudden pause, and looked at Xiao Xuanyu disdainfully, "The eldest prince urged me to kill her, but you want to save her, you children, when will you be united!"

Xiao Xuanyu frowned and remained silent. I'm afraid that if he really has one heart, the aloof emperor will worry that his throne will not be guaranteed, and the princes will form cliques and form cliques for personal gain.

"Go back, how can the crime of deceiving the emperor be forgiven!" The emperor's face was expressionless, "Even Xiao Junyi didn't plead, so what are you talking about? She is a brothel girl who actually sneaked into the capital and the palace. Fortunately, she has no big ambitions. It's just greed for vanity, if it's not an enemy country's secret work, then..."

The emperor was afraid after thinking about it, Xiao Xuanyu said, "She is not a brothel girl, but the adopted daughter of Master Mu Qingyun Mu. She was his adopted daughter as early as three years ago, and she can read and write. Mr. Shiye is the mentor of Shangshu Situ Zhong. Also father-in-law. Her knowledge and mastery must be recognized by my father, she did not deceive the emperor, her surname is Mu, and everyone in Yuzhou knows it."

"So what, an adopted daughter is an adopted daughter after all, how can she compare with a real official's daughter, not to mention her mother's background?! King Heng, do you think that with your few words, I will Spare her?" The emperor was already displeased, "This is the empress dowager's decree, they are actually playing tricks and scheming, what's so great about it?"

"The person who let father and emperor spare Wushuang's life is the queen mother."

"what?"

"The emperor's grandmother was merciful and said that Mu Wushuang made a big mistake because she was young and ignorant, but she didn't make a big mistake when she thought about it. She just said that the daughter of the Mu family gave the marriage and didn't name her own daughter. She is an adopted daughter, but she is the eldest daughter and eldest daughter in Mu's residence. Therefore, the marriage is orderly, and the older sister is naturally the first to marry. Therefore, the emperor's grandmother also said that Mu Wushuang's intergenerational marriage is harmless, and it cannot be called intergenerational marriage, nor can it be called Bully, she is not angry anymore, she said that the front line is full of troubles, and she hopes that there will be less bloodshed and fewer deaths in the capital."

"The Empress Dowager really said that?" The emperor laughed, "If so, I have always been stingy."

"Mu Wushuang was indeed at fault. It was the royal father and the imperial grandmother who forgave her."

"When did I say that I would forgive her?" The emperor's face suddenly sank, and Xiao Xuanyu's heart also sank.The emperor said, "King Heng, you are so capable that you can even get the queen mother to be a lobbyist. Tell me why you want to save Mu Wushuang. I can't explain why. She is still a death sentence."

"I don't have any particular reason, I just feel that human life is precious. Although she is wrong, she is not guilty of death. The emperor has always been kind and always taught us to be kind, and I will never forget it for a moment. If you are lenient this time She must keep it in mind, and don't dare to make half of it, and that Mu Qingyun is also a loving father. Now that his biological daughter has gone crazy, the only sustenance in his heart is this adopted daughter. The minister pleaded with the father. The father is also a father. He should be able to understand the heartache of losing her daughter. How could he have the heart to shatter his last hope. Mu Wushuang is alive and can fulfill the obligation of supporting Mu Sisi. Why not give her this chance? I am not pleading for Mu Wushuang, I just want my father to think twice. Killing her can warn the people of the majesty of the royal family. But, you always say you want to be close to the people, why not start with this? Keep her, Give her a chance to reform herself, and when Mu Qingyun and his party return to Yuzhou, they will recite the emperor's good deeds in the beautiful Jiangnan area..."

Xiao Xuanyu said a lot sincerely, but the emperor and Concubine Lan looked at each other while listening to Jiangnan area, that place was the place where they first met, and because of this meeting, the rest of their lives were filled with all kinds of dramatic joys and sorrows .

"Father..." Xiao Xuanyu waited for his answer.

The emperor asked him to back down annoyed, "Put him in prison first, then execute him later, let me think about it. King Heng, do you know what I don't like about you the most?"

Xiao Xuanyu lowered his head humbly, and the emperor said, "It's just that you move out the queen mother at every turn! But, if you don't move her out, it's really hard to ask for it. Step back, I'm tired, and we can discuss this matter later."

Xiao Xuanyu didn't dare to speak too much, the emperor seemed to be shaken, and respectfully said, "I will take my leave."

The room suddenly fell silent, only the sound of burning in the stove.

Concubine Lan lowered her head and moved her hands to the stove to keep warm. The emperor suddenly embraced her and held her hand, "Do you miss him again?"

Concubine Lan remained silent, leaning obediently in the arms of the emperor.

As soon as Jiangnan was mentioned, she thought of those pasts, those beautiful pasts of hers, and of course she also thought of the person who used to raise eyebrows with her.

"I don't allow you to miss him, he's dead, it's not worth it." The emperor was a little annoyed, and held Concubine Lan tightly in his arms.

Concubine Lan suddenly laughed softly, "Yes, he is dead, because you are the emperor above you, if you want him to die, how dare he not die?"

"Things are not what you think, it's him..." The emperor finally couldn't bear to say, "Hate, hate me, I have hated for so many years, and I don't care a little bit more, I killed him, I wanted it Nothing is unavailable, including you!"

He kissed Concubine Lan roughly, and her heart was full of resentment at the moment, she pushed and beat him a few times, and finally calmed down, obediently in his arms, no different from a puppet.

After a long, long time, the emperor let go of her, the once bright eyes were very empty, looking at the emperor, as if he had passed through everything.

"What exactly do you want?" The emperor was helpless and in pain.

"Let her go!"

"she?"

"Let Wushuang go. She is from the south of the Yangtze River. She is a fellow concubine. You can let her go, let her stay far away from the capital, and expel her from the capital. Or, if you are really upset, kill her. It's better to be dead than to be in this capital!"

The emperor's face suddenly became angry, "Are you talking about her, or yourself? Is it better to be dead than to be by my side? That's good, I will let you die!"

His big palm pinched her neck, so slender, as long as he exerted a little force, it seemed to be able to cut it off.However, the veins on his hands were already protruding angrily, and he couldn't bear to hurt her at all.

"hiss"

His hands slammed down, tearing her clothes.

Concubine Lan didn't change her face, and even took off the torn coat by herself, "Your Majesty, what else can you do except take possession of my body? It's just an empty shell, I don't care about it long ago, but my heart, you will always Can’t possess, can’t conquer, there’s no you in it, there never was.”

"Even if there is no me, I don't care, as long as you are by my side, one day, there will only be me there!" As he said, he pressed her to the ground, the soft carpet, the warm fire, even if it was Happy on the ground, there will not be even the slightest cold, but, because of his entry, her heart is empty.

In this life, she doesn't love him, and she will never fall in love with him!

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. She listened to the sound of the rain as if she was listening to her own crying, but no one would care. The person who cared about her had long since died.In that year, the year she entered the palace, she had already died.

For the rest of her life, she was nothing but a walking dead, her incomparably noble status was nothing but a joke, the great irony, she was just the emperor's confinement, in the words of the Queen Mother, a junk!

A woman can't defend herself for the person she loves, so why should she say she loves him? !Yes, she has long been unworthy, unworthy of loving anyone!
In this life, she will never love again.

For five whole days, from the occurrence of the marriage on behalf of the marriage to the court trial again, everything was extremely peaceful.

As if killing Mu Wushuang was already a firm matter, except for Lian Cheng and Xiao Xuanyu who begged for mercy, the rest were silent, even if they spoke out, it was for the emperor to execute the guilty woman as soon as possible.

The current retrial seems meaningless.

However, the emperor still tried.

At this moment, he was sitting on a high dragon chair. For the first time, Concubine Lan was invited by him to participate in such an interrogation. She sat next to the emperor, and the queen sat in another place.

Situ Zhong and Situ Liancheng both came and sat opposite King Heng and the First Prince.

Xiao Junyi sat next to Xiao Xuanyu's subordinate, watching Wushuang being brought up, the fists hidden under the wide sleeves were clenched until the knuckles turned white.

Wushuang was thrown on the hall by the guards. The stinging pain all over her body made it difficult for her to fall asleep. She knelt on the ground and said to the emperor, "The criminal woman has seen the emperor..."

The emperor glanced at her with displeasure, saw her ragged clothes, and asked, "What's going on?"

When Zhang Shilang didn't come forward, Li Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment took the initiative to say, "I'm afraid there may be an inside story. I have tried the guilty woman."

The emperor didn't criticize him too much. It was quite normal for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate the prisoner.He looked at Wushuang condescendingly, "The criminal woman Wushuang, do you know the crime?"

"Convicted." Wushuang replied weakly.

"The crime of deceiving the emperor, I will kill you, but I will not accept it."

Wushuang shook her head and fell on the ground, the pain made her wish she could die immediately.She has already met Mu Qingyun and Qing Dai, she is helpless in this life, if she is destined to die eventually, then what can she struggle for?

"Since you have pleaded guilty, then..." The emperor made a gesture to order, Xiao Xuanyu panicked, and before he could act, Lian Cheng already ignored Situ Zhong's obstruction, and knelt on the top of the hall, "I beg the emperor to forgive me, so that Wushuang will not die .”

"I know that you are in the same class as her, but if you look closely, you are also guilty of covering up and concealing. I will not pursue you today, it is entirely for the sake of Princess Suxin, you still don't let me back down!"

"Your Majesty..." Lian Sheng was about to say more, but was stopped by Situ Zhong, and knelt down, "Your dog is ignorant, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand, signaling to back down.Lian Cheng begged, "Your Majesty, please forgive Wushuang. She didn't intend to deceive you. She didn't listen to the lectures well before. She didn't understand anything, and she didn't know that it was a deception. Those who don't know are not guilty. When she is ignorant, let her not die..."

Lian Cheng was so anxious that he couldn't choose what to say, explaining the begging indiscriminately, Xiao Xuanyu sat quietly at the side, what should be said and what should be asked, he had already asked last night, if the emperor listened to it, he also listened to it.I didn't hear it, and I didn't mean to say more.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Junyi, who had always been expressionless. He was really curious about what Xiao Junyi was thinking at this moment.

Lian Cheng pestered the emperor to beg for mercy, and the eldest prince was annoyed, "If you don't know, you can be fine? Then if you don't know that murder is a crime, and everyone goes to kill, wouldn't everyone be excused? A word of not knowing can't be an excuse, Situ Lian Sheng, if you shield her, you are also guilty of deceiving the emperor!"

Xiao Xuanyu was slightly stunned, and looked at the eldest prince with displeasure. After all, this person was going to keep his hand. Even if it was cooperation, he was still trying to get rid of his Hengwang's people.

Lian Cheng bit back, "Compared to the fact that the eldest prince blamed King Heng and hid the dragon robe privately, what is this?"

"You..." The old matter was brought up again, and the eldest prince's face turned green with anger. Just as he was about to quarrel again, the emperor said angrily, "Enough! It's not proper to quarrel all day long!"

Both of them remained silent, the emperor said, "Wu Shuang, everything happened because of you, are you willing to take responsibility for all of this? Accept your due punishment?"

Wushuang grinned in pain, did it all happen because of her?If it wasn't for that Yizhi, would she get involved in the capital and become a substitute bride?

It was their battle for imperial power that involved the innocent, but now, she was asked to pay for it.

Wushuang knelt on the ground and said humbly, "Yes."

"Have you ever defended yourself?"

"No."

The emperor paused suddenly, as if he couldn't continue to ask, turned his head to look at Concubine Lan, and asked, "What does Aifei think about this? How should Wushuang deal with it?"

"My concubine doesn't know."

"Yesterday you responded to King Heng, saying that you let Wushuang go, why did you say you didn't know today?" A word made the interested people change their expressions after hearing it.
