538. Chapter 538 It doesn't matter if you don't want to be a prince
The Queen Mother murdered the Prince and framed Concubine Ning for falling into the water and having a miscarriage. The evidence was conclusive. She could no longer defend herself and was permanently imprisoned in Yikun Palace. Everyone related to the matter was punished accordingly.
The eldest princess Xuanyuan Xuhen was found to have not directly participated in the act of poisoning the prince. The pharmacy in Zuoxiang's Mansion was only used by the Queen Mother to make medicine. After she learned of the Queen Mother's conspiracy, she came to the palace and knelt down
He spent three days and three nights outside the royal study without saying a word.
The emperor was merciful and no longer wanted to see the royal family's bloodline damaged, so he let Xuanyuan Xuehen go back. He just wanted her to never set foot in the palace again.
However, the Queen Mother was still unwilling to tell the reason why she wanted to kill the prince. She emphasized that she would only tell Su Yueming.
When the emperor was sad, the dragon's body became even weaker and he couldn't live without medicine every day. The prince waited on him every day to comfort him and relieve his worries.
On this day, seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, the prince said, "Father, I have something to ask of you."
"But it doesn't matter." The emperor raised his eyes and said, looking better today than in the past.
The prince knelt down on his knees and said with a serious face, "I would like to ask my father to issue an edict to allow Princess Duorong to marry me and become my crown prince. I will not want any of the official girls submitted by the Ministry of Rites."
After hearing this, the emperor paused with his hand holding the jade cup for a long time and said, "She is not on the list of concubines. It is not etiquette for you to ask her. I took a look and found that there are many people on the list. I think they are good. I agree with you."
Match, don’t think about anything else."
After hearing this, the prince took a step forward and said, "Father, I only want her. Without her company, my life will be incomplete and full of tragedies. I will not be able to live forever."
will be happy."
The emperor stopped and said coldly, "Prince, please give up this idea. There is no way Su Yueming will become your crown princess."
"Why?" The prince couldn't help but feel heartbroken after hearing the emperor's categorical rejection, and said, "My father has personally given her the title of princess. Although she is a concubine, her father can be regarded as a first-class minister in the court, and as a minister,
There is no such thing as incompatibility."
"Okay!" The emperor looked sulky, obviously unwilling to continue talking, he said, "I have made up my mind, I promise you, I will accept any woman from the Zhou Dynasty who you want, but Su Yueming alone, you
You don’t have to think about it, not only is it the position of the Crown Princess, but it doesn’t apply to you as a concubine in your palace.”
"Father!" The prince seemed to have made up his mind, and at the risk of offending Long Yan, he spoke plausibly, "If Su Yueming cannot be my wife, then...then I would rather not be the prince. I will live my whole life.
, what’s the point if you can’t join hands with the one you love with white hair, so I am willing to trade my position as the crown prince to be married to Su Yueming for the rest of my life! I ask my father to do it.”
"Presumptuous!" After hearing this, the emperor was furious. He never thought that the prince's infatuation with Su Yueming had reached such an extent. He slapped his palm on the table and shouted fiercely, "The great prince Zhou, for
A woman actually said such treasonous words! You deserve to be punished with death! But I think you are a first-time offender. Come here, I will immediately take the prince to Zongyi Hall and face the wall for three days and three nights! No food is allowed!"
As soon as the emperor gave the order, the imperial guards came in immediately.
The prince's face was calm. He stood up from the ground, his eyes still full of persistence, "Please take care of yourself, father, but I still said the same thing. Without Su Yueming, I would rather not be the prince!"
