Chapter 171 The Daughter of the Subjugated Country
Chapter 171 The Daughter of a Subjugated Country
The princess kept her promise and started to pack up the ceremony the next day after taking the letter of departure.
She didn't leave anything behind, including clothes and jewelry, bedding and makeup, maids and servants... But she didn't take anything with her about Prince Qinghe's belongings.
She sat in the carriage and said goodbye to Prince Qinghe.
"If we say goodbye, we may never see you again. The prince should take care of himself."
Her two sons are by her side.
Over the years, the Prince of Qinghe County naturally paid much less attention to his children than the Princess of the County, so he naturally had a deeper relationship with the Princess of the County.
In addition, the children are no longer young.
As soon as they heard that their father had given up his wife and children and wanted to avenge the woman outside, they immediately lined up and came to their mother's side.
At this time, they were about to part ways, and they actually refused to give up even a good color to their father.
They just left with their mother.
Halfway through, the princess finally couldn't help it anymore, covered her mouth and started laughing.
The nanny said: "Oh, I have never seen a lady from any family so happily divorced."
The princess ignored her.
What does she know?
A husband-in-law who never asks for help and only spends huge sums of money is valuable, but a free life with money and leisure makes her yearn for it even more.
In these years, she married the Prince of Qinghe County, tried her best to take care of his family business, and gave birth to two children for him, so she was worthy of him.
It was because he couldn't think of it, and he even dared to do such things as rebellion, so how could he blame her for being ungrateful?
On the other side, Prince Qinghe turned his head to look at his empty home, feeling a little disappointed.
At that time, he just thought that the woman was out of anger, so he signed the letter of separation without even looking at it.
Unexpectedly, that woman actually took into account most of his family property.
Now he suddenly realized that his home was gone, his money was gone, and the woman had gone outside to live freely.
Suddenly, Prince Qinghe felt betrayed.
"Damn it, she was fooled!"
Prince Qinghe, who had always been dignified and self-possessed, couldn't help but swore a curse word, which shocked the servants on the sidelines.
**
Not long after the New Year, the prince of Qinghe County marched south with his troops.
The name is "The Demon-Slaying Queen".
At first, no one cared.
It has been more than a hundred years since the world was divided into three parts. For more than a hundred years, there have been peace, peace and war again. There have been no major frictions, but small frictions. The people have long been accustomed to war.
I thought that the Prince of Qinghe County was probably stupid at the border, that's why he was like this. I thought that he would be suppressed by the court soon.
But only one person felt something was fishy - Taifu Su.
Because Taifu Su heard one of the charges that the rebels made for the Queen Mother - "A witch from a foreign country must have a different heart."
Exotic witch, exotic witch...
Taifu Su felt a little strange. The Queen Mother was from Nanming and the biological daughter of Miss Zhong and Master Mu. How could she be an exotic witch?
Even if Prince Qinghe wants to be emperor, even if he wants to kill the Queen Mother, he won't make a fuss about something that doesn't exist, right?
If this is discovered in the future, wouldn't it be like shooting oneself in the foot?
Taifu Su asked his grandson to go out and check.
Su Jingwen went out for a day and got the news quickly.
"Grandpa, my grandson heard that the Prince of Qinghe County said that the Queen Mother was not from Nanming, but... a woman from Xihe."
"Ms. Xihe?" Taifu Su's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Su Jingwen looked a little strange.
"Grandpa, where is Xihe? Is there anything wrong with Xihe's daughter?"
"yes……"
Taifu Su paused for a moment, but then he patiently started talking to his grandson.
"This is an old thing that happened many years ago. It's common for people like you who have never heard of it."
He said: "Many years ago, Emperor Gaozu, the former Master Zhong, and the young Prince Qinghe went on an expedition against the Turks, and when they returned they brought back a woman.
The woman's face was extremely beautiful.
Emperor Gaozu wanted to include the woman in his harem at that time, but at that time, the Qin Tianjian shut down the prime minister at night and then said something.
He said that even if there is only one woman left in Xihe, the one who wants to destroy Nanming must be from Xihe."
"No."
When Su Jingwen heard this, he was a little surprised that such strange things happened back then.
"But this idea of strange power and chaos seems absurd at first sight." Su Jingwen said.
"But the great ancestor at that time believed it." Taifu Su said.
"Not only did he believe it, he also immediately ordered the Xihe woman to be executed."
"But... it's strange." A puzzled look appeared on Taifu Su's face: "But the last Xihe citizen has been executed.
Why does the Prince of Qinghe County insist on saying that the Queen Mother is a Xihe woman?"
**
At this time, on the other side, in the Jinluan Palace, Shen Muchi saw the Qinghe County Prince's petition listing "various" crimes against the Queen Mother.
Charming the late emperor, letting him linger around and doting his favor every night, causing the late emperor to perish.
She was cruel and murderous, and even though the people said a few words behind her back, she refused to spare even women and children.
She was dissolute and immoral. As a widow, she did not abide by the rules of women. Instead, she raised a high profile in the palace with great fanfare.
He was ungrateful and plotted to kill his uncle who was kind to him.
She was amassing money so much that when her concubine got married, her dowry was even bigger than that of a royal daughter. Where did a queen mother get so much money?
Also, killing Zhongliang...
One by one, one by one, it is difficult to write on a bamboo chime, and there is no room for denial...
Shen Muchi looked at the petition delivered to him and became furious.
He threw the pleading to the ground with a bang.
The ministers knelt in the main hall, trembling with fear.
"His Majesty……"
Someone whispered: "But...it seems that what the higher-ups said is not an injustice to the Queen Mother!"
After saying these words, the minister felt like a light on his back, and Shen Muchi's eyes fell on him like a sharp arrow.
"His Majesty!"
But the matter at hand concerns the whole of Nanming and everyone present. Even if the emperor is dissatisfied, he still has to speak out.
Another minister added: "Your Majesty, the King of Qinghe County is not really plotting rebellion. He has already said in the petition that if Your Majesty can hand over the Queen Mother and let him handle it, he can withdraw his troops."
"absurd!"
Shen Muchi angrily scolded: "He will do it when asked? Where will it put my face and the face of the entire Nanming?"
"His Majesty……"
The minister wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Shen Muchi.
"Someone, pull Guo Zhongcheng out!"
Shen Muchi gave an order, and the guards came to pull the minister who had just remonstrated.
The minister was terrified.
"Your Majesty... everything I say is true. It is for Nanming and for Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to think twice..."
Shen Muchi was angry and didn't care.
"Pull out!"
"Your Majesty..." One of the ministers knelt down again: "Master Guo is a high-ranking minister in the court, and every word he speaks speaks from the bottom of his heart. For the current plan, the only way to calm down the anger is to hand over the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, please consider Master Guo's advice.
Think twice!”
If there is one, then there are two, and the other ministers kneel down one after another.
"Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Please, Your Majesty, think twice..."
"Please, Your Majesty, hand over the Queen Mother..."
