Princess Yongzhao almost laughed out loud, but Xue Zhenjiang said it very seriously, as if it was really about to come true.
Her voice was extremely cold, and the cold expression on her face was like that of a female asura who kills without blinking an eye. She said word by word: "Xue Zhenjiang, how come the emperor can't talk about you to make arrogant remarks. You betrayed Dachu, that's why
My enemy, Leng Huilian, today is your day of death."
After saying this, without giving Xue Zhenjiang a chance to react, Princess Yongzhao drew out the sword from her waist and quickly rushed over to chop off Xue Zhenjiang's head.
Bright red blood spurted out, dyeing Princess Yongzhao's armor red.
Xue Zhenjiang's head flew high and then fell heavily.
"This is the fate of betraying Dachu, no matter who you are!" Princess Yongzhao raised her blood-stained sword high and shouted, "Enter the city!"
The guards at the city gate were dumbfounded. They obeyed Xue Zhenjiang, but they were all subjects of Da Chu. Now that the eldest princess had killed Xue Zhenjiang, they had no intention of resisting anymore.
So Princess Yongzhao led the army into the city.
No one noticed that a tear slowly slipped down the face of Princess Yongzhao.
After the princess entered the city, she killed the leaders sent by the Qi State and captured all the others. She also personally led the troops to fight the Qi State. After winning a complete victory, she quickly took control of the situation in southern Xinjiang.
…
It was half a month later when the news came back to the capital.
Suddenly Princess Yongzhao became famous throughout the country.
At the same time, Fu Qiuyuan, the chief assistant of Da Chu, was imprisoned because the eldest princess accidentally discovered evidence that Xue Zhenjiang and Fu Qiuyuan colluded to betray Da Chu while sorting out Xue Zhenjiang's belongings.
In any case, he was someone who had been with him for many years. Emperor Honghui couldn't believe such a thing, so he had Fu Qiuyuan brought into the palace.
Fu Qiuyuan's hands, feet and neck were hung with heavy chains, and he was in a miserable state, as if he had aged ten years overnight.
He was kneeling in the hall, but his back was straight, not like a prisoner at all.
Emperor Honghui looked at him for a while and then asked: "Why did you betray Da Chu? Your position in Da Chu is no longer comparable to anyone. Isn't that enough?"
Fu Qiuyuan raised his head and looked at Emperor Honghui, his eyes showing no emotion. Now that he was facing a dead end, he didn't care to say more, "Of course it's for revenge, Da Chu is not worthy, and you Leng family are not worthy of sitting in this position!
"
Emperor Honghui soon noticed something was wrong and asked, "Are you a remnant of Dayin?"
"Yes," Fu Qiuyuan was surprised that Emperor Honghui reacted so quickly, but he still admitted, "I am the youngest son of the third prince of Chu. If it weren't for your Leng family, I would be a high-ranking royal family now, instead of being bullied by others.
Ordinary people.”
Emperor Honghui frowned, "With your current status, who can bully you?"
"Your Majesty, do you know that from nothing to where I am now, how many times more effort have I put in than ordinary people? I do all this just for revenge, so that you, the great Chu, can also taste the pain of our Dayin royal family."
Emperor Honghui shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Dayin has ended. You can obviously live a good life with your own efforts. Now you are the highest-ranking person in the court. Aren't you satisfied?"
Fu Qiuyuan's eyes were mocking, "If the emperor knew my identity, would he still reuse me? As I am now, everything is fake, my identity is fake, everything is fake."
"What about Fu Zhaoyi?"
Hearing Emperor Honghui mention Fu Qingjiao, Fu Qiuyuan's eyes flashed with light, and he said: "Your Majesty, Qingjiao doesn't know about this, please spare her life."
When Fu Qingjiao was asked to enter the palace, Fu Qiuyuan was very hesitant, not only because Emperor Honghui was much older than Fu Qingjiao, but also because of his status.
But when Fu Qiuyuan learned about Emperor Honghui's thoughts about his daughter, he agreed to his daughter's request.
If he was discovered as the woman who became Emperor Honghui, Emperor Honghui might not be willing to take Fu Qingjiao's life.
If Dachu was destroyed, he would also let his daughter remarry.
Of course, Fu Qiuyuan wouldn't say this.
When Emperor Honghui learned Fu Qiuyuan's identity, he rubbed his brows helplessly and raised his hand to signal the guards to take him down.
After thinking again and again, Emperor Honghui was still reluctant to give Fu Qingjiao death.
So he just demoted her from Zhaoyi to Cairen, and was banned from the palace. She was not allowed to move around at will.
Fu Qingjiao was about to give birth, but Emperor Honghui still didn't want her to have fetal contractions.
Fu Qiuyuan was imprisoned, and the ministers still need to discuss how to deal with it.
After Fu Qingjiao learned the news that her father was in prison, the last trace of warmth in her heart disappeared.
She remained silent, hoping to give birth to the child smoothly and to save her father's life.
…
In September, Princess Yongzhao returned to Beijing, and Emperor Honghui held a banquet in the palace to welcome the princess.
Xue Kexin, the former lively and cheerful princess of Qingyuan County, became taciturn because of her father's affairs, and she always acted depressed during the dinner.
Xiao Xixi looked over and felt particularly intolerable.
She didn't have a close relationship with Xue Kexin, but she also liked this innocent girl and didn't want her to become depressed because of her parents' mistakes.
But there has been a sudden change, and if she is no different from before, she is no longer a little girl.
While staring at her, Xiao Xixi heard someone calling her and looked over.
She saw Emperor Honghui, who was sitting in the first place, looking at her with loving eyes, "I heard that Princess Yan took good care of all the female relatives in the house."
Xiao Xixi hurriedly stood up and walked to the palace to salute, "Your Majesty, I am so complimentary that I only allowed them to recognize a few words. Besides, they are no longer members of the palace."
Emperor Honghui smiled heartily, "Did you know that the female relatives in the capital now regard you as a role model? Many wives in the back house hope to be like you and control the concubines in the house."
Xiao Xixi glanced at Leng Moran, and when she saw him nodding towards her, she said: "Thanks to the prince, if the prince was not willing to trust me and give me the right to take care of the general affairs in the house, I would not be able to do this.
"
Emperor Honghui was in a good mood today. No matter how Xiao Xixi answered, he was quite satisfied. At this time, he waved his hand and gave Xiao Xixi wine.
"Let Princess Yan have a taste of the good wine sent by the vassal state."
Xiao Xixi thanked the emperor for his kindness and picked up the wine glass from the tray in the hands of the palace maid.
With just one glance, she could tell something was wrong.
When her mouth and nose came closer, she could smell the faint smell of Changchang Powder in the wine.
The taste is very bland, but she can distinguish it quickly because of the teachings of Dr. He.
Does the emperor want to kill her?
Xiao Xixi raised her head and saw that Emperor Honghui looked at her with gentle eyes, not as if he wanted her to die.
Even Leng Mo Ran is calm.
Then it could only be that someone wanted to take her life through the hands of Emperor Honghui.
When Emperor Honghui saw that she didn't drink, he asked doubtfully: "But you don't like the taste of this wine?"
Xiao Xixi quickly found an excuse, "I'm too drunk. I'm afraid I'll lose my dignity in front of the palace. Can I take her home and drink slowly?"
When Emperor Honghui heard this reason, he didn't embarrass her and signaled her to do whatever she wanted.
Xiao Xixi saluted, returned to her seat with the wine glass in hand, and a layer of cold sweat formed on her back without even realizing it.
The emperor agreed to her taking the wine back, which further proves that the emperor did not want to harm her.
Who is the person behind it?
Leng Moran saw something was wrong with her, so he gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
Xiao Xixi looked sideways and told him what she found with her eyes.
Leng Moran learned the whole story through mind reading, and felt frightened for a while.
If Xiao Xixi didn't realize that the wine was poisonous, what would happen now?
