concubines

Chapter 54

At this moment, the eldest princess didn't have any intention of giving in. "It's not that I'm crazy, it's that the second prince is crazy. If he didn't do such a conscienceless thing, I wouldn't break into the palace at night."

The emperor was angry and hated now, bending over to stare at the eldest princess's face, "When you broke into the palace, you knew it was the second prince who did it? Did you come here to assassinate me on purpose?"

The eldest princess knew that assassinating the emperor was indeed an unforgivable thing, so she went around and said, "No matter what method I use, my purpose is only one, and that is to abolish the prince."

The emperor straightened up and asked: "I don't understand, why do you have such a big prejudice against the prince? No matter who is the emperor, you are the supreme eldest princess, why do you have to abolish the prince?"

At this moment, the eldest princess felt that she had nothing to say, she looked up at the emperor, and it took a long time before she said, "I don't think you are so confused that you don't know why I am, do you really not understand?"

The emperor put his hands behind his back, and his heart was full of resentment. He didn't say angrily: "You keep scolding me for being a faint king, what do you want me to understand? How sober are you, you dare to hold a sword against my neck. Do you know the consequences? ?”

The eldest princess was very clear about the consequences, shrugged her shoulders, and said indifferently: "Pull the Jiu Clan, go ahead, I don't care."

"You!" The emperor pointed at her, then retracted his fingers and clenched them into a fist.I can't wait to pick up the sword from the ground and stab her to death with one sword.

The emperor almost couldn't catch his breath. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued: "You have made such a big fuss, if I don't give you some punishment, I will really lose face. Duanchen Nunnery, you can figure it out yourself."

Although she is not a compatriot of the same mother, the emperor regards her as his own younger sister.

What the emperor meant was to let her shave her hair and become a nun.

The eldest princess didn't think about getting out alive today, and she didn't think about saving her life, which is already earned.Anyway, she is alone now, and there is nothing in this world to be nostalgic for.

The eldest princess kowtowed to thank her, "Zhuang Ding thanked the emperor for not killing him."

"I'm leaving, you can do it yourself."

The emperor walked away in a huff, and this farce was barely over.

The eldest princess stood up from the ground, patted the dust on her knees, then turned around and pulled Miaoli up, the whole process was as if nothing had happened.

Miao Li, on the other hand, asked the eldest princess in a crying voice: "Your Highness, why did this happen? What should we do in the future?"

No matter how courageous she is, she has never seen such a scene.

The eldest princess didn't seem to understand her words, and asked: "The crown prince is abolished, isn't this exactly the result we want? We can do whatever we want in the future."

It was finally a big event, even if it was scolded by later generations for plotting to usurp the throne, she would admit it.

Speaking of which, the eldest princess walked to Zhou Shuxuan's bed, stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, a thin layer of sweat broke out on it, sighed and said, "I'm really unlucky, I even missed such a big event as the abolition of the prince."

Miao Li walked over, still very worried and said: "Your Highness, the crown prince has been abolished, but Your Highness..."

The eldest princess didn't take what happened just now to her heart at all, and said: "It's nothing serious for me, at least I have saved my life. I shaved my hair and became a nun. It is probably because the emperor saw that I killed too much in my life, so let me kill you." I will go to a Buddhist temple to confess myself."

The Eldest Princess glanced at her hands, they were rough and did not seem to be growing on a woman's body, they were indeed stained with too much blood.

She said it too easily, and Miao Li was still full of guilt in her heart.If she hadn't called the eldest princess rashly, all this might not have happened.

Miao Li knelt at the feet of the eldest princess, "Your Highness, it's all the servant's fault. The servant should not call His Highness into the palace late at night."

Zhou Shuxuan also warned her not to go to the eldest princess casually, because she was disobedient.But when she got there, there was nothing she could do.

The eldest princess took her by the hand and pulled her up, and said with a smile: "You did the right thing today. If you didn't ask me to enter the palace, you would have done something wrong. You can also see the attitude of the emperor. He has to protect the second prince for all important matters. If I hadn't used the sword to force him, he might have just let it go, and King Qin would have passed through the gate of hell for nothing."

The eldest princess bent down to pick up the sword on the ground, and pulled out the scabbard nailed to the post.Put the sword back into the scabbard, and hand it to Miao Li, "Xiao Shuang'er, this is my New Year's gift to you. I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring any lucky money for you."

Miao Li didn't care about the New Year's money, her eyes were red, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

The princess stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, and the place where her fingers touched was scalding hot.

The eldest princess touched her forehead, and asked with concern: "Do you have a fever? Have you consulted an imperial physician?"

Miao Li said perfunctorily, "I've already invited you." Then she said guiltily, "Your Highness, it's really the servant who hurt you."

The eldest princess chuckled, these things are not a big deal in her heart.She is used to strong winds and waves, these are not worth mentioning.

The eldest princess nodded and said: "Yes, it was you who harmed me. If you want to alleviate the guilt in your heart, you should take good care of yourself and your prince. And then often bring some delicious food to visit me, and bring more meat. "

The eldest princess was afraid that she would feel bad, so she said this on purpose.

Miao Li opened her mouth, wanting to say something else.The eldest princess waved her hand to stop her, "Don't say anything else, I have to leave the palace immediately, you go to make some medicine and drink it. And remember, when you visit me, you must bring more meat, don't send me."

Miao Li looked at her handsome back, full of helplessness, wondering what decision Zhou Shuxuan would make if he was awake?
The words "don't send me off" made Miaoli stand where she was, she didn't have the courage to send the eldest princess off.

Standing at the door and watching for a while, the princess's back has completely disappeared in the darkness.Miao Li went back to the house and carefully folded the imperial decree that was now on the prince's clothes on the table, and put it in Zhou Shuxuan's hand together with the sword given by the eldest princess.After a night of trouble, one gain and one loss, there are only these two things.

Zhou Shuxuan disliked the prince in a coma, unconsciously pushed the prince's clothes away, and then grabbed Miaoli's hand.

On the second day, the two imperial decrees spread throughout the world, shocking the ruling and opposition parties.

It is expected that the emperor will abolish the crown prince, but taking all the titles of the eldest princess is something that people in the world can't think of.

The eldest princess is a well-known god of war, and she has almost never lost a battle in her life.The matter in the palace has not been spread yet, it is really unreasonable for people outside to take away the title of eldest princess just because the emperor is good-looking.Could it be that after suffering for so many years, only now did he start to fear the influence of the eldest princess?
It's Chinese New Year time, and officials are on their annual leave.Some people couldn't help asking the emperor why he took away the title of eldest princess during the holiday, but the emperor didn't give any approval.

Not only did they not get the emperor's approval, but the officials also received the news that the eldest princess wanted to shave her hair and become a nun, which undoubtedly made things worse.

And the officials in Beijing spontaneously formed a long line at the gate of the princess's mansion, wanting to see the princess so that she could find out the truth of the matter.

But the eldest princess not only closed the door to thank the guests, she didn't even go out.The court situation has undergone earth-shaking changes, and none of the Manchu officials knew what happened?
The entrance of the mansion is very lively, but the atmosphere inside the mansion is very deserted.The Princess Mansion was quiet and very few people spoke, only a few sobs could be heard from time to time.

Dozens of little girls raised by the eldest princess were all crying for her.

In the room, the eldest princess was leaning on the couch with a cup of tea in her hand, more leisurely than anyone else, in stark contrast to King Qi who was pacing back and forth in the room.

The eldest princess put down the teacup, turned her face away slightly and said, "Don't walk around anymore, I'm dizzy."

Seeing his indifferent attitude, King Qi was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly, "You...why are you still so leisurely? What do you want me to say about you?"

The eldest princess was still very calm, "You can say whatever you want, I can hear everything you say."

King Qi was even more angry, and wanted to say that she didn't know where to start, and said incoherently, "I told you a long time ago not to be lawless, you really can do anything, how dare you put your knife on the emperor On the neck. It's all right now, I'm going to be a nun, are you satisfied?"

The eldest princess said calmly: "It's so so, I thought the emperor would kill me."

This woman is really crazy, she has no feeling at all.King Qi only felt that there was a raging fire burning in his heart, which made him unconscious.

King Qi raised his head angrily, clenched his fists and asked her, "Do you want to die that much?" Without waiting for the eldest princess, he drew out the sword she had placed on the table, and put it directly on her heart, "You want to die, I'll help you."

The eldest princess paused for a moment, then cupped her fists and said, "Thank you then. The movements should be crisp and neat, otherwise it will hurt."

King Qi gritted his teeth, wishing to swallow her alive, but his hands were useless. He wanted to burn a hole in her face with his eyes, but the eldest princess still looked indifferent.

After a long time, King Qi lost.Throw down the sword in your hand.Angrily, he sat down next to her, grabbed the teacup she placed on the small table and drank a few sips, defeating his anger.

The eldest princess smiled, got up and picked up the sword he threw on the ground, played with it in her hand, and said nonchalantly: "The crown prince has been abolished, and I have saved my life. This is obviously a good thing. I don't know why you Neither one is happy."

King Qi stared at her sideways, "Why do you make me happy? I thought I could have a good year, but it turned out like this. You obviously don't want to make me happy."

The eldest princess stared at him for a while, then smiled sadly, did not answer his words, but said her own, "Once this year is over, in another year you will be 30 years old, and you will have no children. I often see that your mother and concubine are worried about your children, and they have taken a lot of medicine for Princess Qi. They have also sent many girls who are well-behaved to your house, but so far there has been no effect, and I am secretly worried about whether it is you. question.

Every time I see your mother and concubine Qi talk about these things, the concubine looks distressed, so I know the problem is not with the concubine.There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no descendants.As a junior, you must always fulfill your responsibilities as a junior, and you can't let your mother and concubine worry about these things.

You can no longer be like before, you don't have to do things in the army yourself, let alone stay in the camp all the time.Go back to the residence more often, and give birth to a child earlier, your mother and concubine will be happy, and so will I.The third child has no children. When you have children, I can be a serious aunt.

You don't have to worry about me, I don't think being a nun is so bad.Those of us who marched took too many lives on our hands. I just recited more sutras for myself to wash away the sins on my body, so that I don’t have to go to Avici Hell after death.

If I cut off three thousand threads of trouble, I might be able to live a little easier.do you understand me? "
