Xie Mingxi looked at the sixth princess who was pale and breathing weakly. Her heart was full of doubts.
The Sixth Princess did not raise her eyes, nor did she have the strength to do anything else. She said intermittently to Emperor Jianwen: "Father... I am not Anping, I am Shenghong."
Emperor Jianwen: "..."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Bright sunlight shines through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the beautiful face of the sixth princess. A gust of wind blows, the branches and leaves sway, and the light and shadow also sway.
That very familiar face suddenly became strangely unfamiliar!
"Anping's death was not an accident." The sixth princess's voice also became a little erratic: "That day, Anping and I changed clothes and wanted to be naughty. I didn't expect that Anping would die on my behalf."
"The mother-in-law was heartbroken and extremely frightened. She was afraid that the people behind the scenes would know the truth and intend to harm me, so she asked me to take Anping's identity... In recent years, the mother-in-law has been in panic because of this huge secret.
"
"The crime of deceiving the emperor is a capital crime! But the mother-in-law did this just to protect my son."
"Please, Father, spare my mother and concubine. I am willing to use this life in exchange for my mother and concubine's safety!"
These words exhausted the strength of the Sixth Princess... No, she should be called Sheng Hong now.
After Sheng Hong finished speaking, he fainted again.
Beside him were Xie Mingxi, who looked stiff, and Emperor Jianwen, who was shocked and speechless.
…
The person in front of her was not the friend Sheng Anping she thought she was!
Not all the time!
It's not her, it's him!
It’s the Seventh Prince Sheng Hong!
Therefore, the friend from the previous life died quietly because this secret was revealed.
A man disguised himself as a woman and deceived the emperor for several years. It was also involved in a secret scandal in the palace a few years ago. He had no power and no help in the palace. Once his identity was exposed, he would die. Concubine Mei was apparently executed secretly...
…
It turns out that this is the truth that she has always been puzzled about!
It turns out that this is the truth behind the distance between the "Sixth Princess" and her teenage classmates!
Many details from the past also flooded into my mind.
"Mingxi, don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you!"
"You will not enter the palace as a concubine, but I will definitely protect you!"
"Mingxi, if someone deceives you...it's not intentional, it's done out of necessity. Can you forgive him?"
Can you forgive him?
Forgive him for his last resort, forgive him for pretending to be a girl and be friends with me for three years, forgive him for having to hide things, forgive him for every lie...
Xie Mingxi's eyes fell on Sheng Hong, who had weak breath, pale face and serious injuries. Then, he tightened the corners of his mouth forcefully. Dark flames of anger ignited in his eyes.
…
This is not his daughter Sheng Anping, but his son Sheng Hong who he always thought died young!
Emperor Jianwen stared at that familiar face, with huge waves in his mind that could not be calmed down.
This happened too suddenly!
How can it be?
How could a young man hide it from everyone and pretend to be a daughter for six years?
But no one dares to lie about such a shocking thing. What's more, the Sheng Hong in front of him risked his life to block an arrow for himself. Now his life hangs by a thread, and he doesn't know whether he can survive this disaster safely.
Sheng Hong, who thought he was destined to die, was so sincere in his complaints and pleas before his death that there was no way he could be false!
This is not the sixth princess!
It was his beloved daughter Sheng Anping who died young at the age of eight!
This is Sheng Hong!
It's his son, the seventh prince of Da Qi!
…
The imperial guards formed a circle one by one and guarded the surroundings vigilantly. Even after hearing such shocking secrets, they did not dare to look back, let alone look at Emperor Jianwen's face.
The shouts of killing and the sound of swords clashing could be heard from time to time as the assassins were being pursued. People kept coming, shouting "catch the assassin" and "protect him".
Soon, several princes came over. On the other hand, Queen Yu and the concubines were all at the foot of the mountain, so even though they came with all their strength, they were delayed for a moment.
"Father!" The third prince shouted with eager eyes, "Father, are you okay?"
The fourth prince lost his former coldness and indifference, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "That group of assassins have all been killed, and the one who was left alive actually hid poison in his mouth, bit it and committed suicide. Who is it that is so bold?
, dare to assassinate my father!"
The fifth prince's eyes fell on Sheng Hong, who was unconscious and unconscious, and he said worriedly: "The sixth emperor's sister is seriously injured. Why does the father not allow the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the sixth emperor's sister?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone reacted.
yes!
The doctor has arrived!
Emperor Jianwen did not allow the imperial physician to approach the Sixth Princess, nor did he allow the Imperial Physician to treat the Sixth Princess's injuries. What was the reason for this?
Emperor Jianwen had already stood up, his pale face was bloodless, and his eyes were glowing with a complex and strange light. However, he did not say any explanation.
The fifth prince was a little anxious: "Father, the sixth emperor's sister has been so seriously injured, we must diagnose and treat it in time. If there is a delay... what should we do? I beg my father to ask the imperial doctor to treat the six emperors as soon as possible.
Sister, heal the injury!"
The fifth prince’s face was full of eagerness, and he was definitely not faking it!
In comparison, the fourth prince seemed quite indifferent. When he saw the seriously injured sixth princess, he showed no sign of sadness. The third prince, who was accustomed to acting, only cared about Emperor Jianwen and did not care about the sixth princess.
Ask more.
The so-called siblings are nothing more than that.
Emperor Jianwen seemed to have woken up from years of pride and complacency. Looking at the three princes, he didn't know what he felt in his heart.
…
At this moment, Queen Yu also came with a group of concubines.
"Your Majesty!" Queen Yu was obviously frightened, her face was miserable and her voice was trembling: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
After all, they were a young couple, no matter how much resentment or dissatisfaction they had. The moment they were shocked to hear that Emperor Jianwen was planning to assassinate, Empress Yu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She rushed all the way without caring about the queen's appearance and neatly combed hair.
, already messy. The hair around the ears was blown to the eyes by the wind.
Queen Yu seemed unaware and rushed to Emperor Jianwen, grabbing Emperor Jianwen's hand tightly.
Emperor Jianwen's hands had no warmth, and Queen Yu's hands were even colder.
Emperor Jianwen said nothing and silently held Queen Yu's hand with his backhand.
Concubine Shu, Li Fei and others were also scared out of their wits, wishing they could rush over like Empress Yu... However, in this situation, they were not qualified at all.
When Concubine Mei saw the Sixth Princess lying on the ground with blood on her chest, she felt as if her heart had been torn out, her vision went dark, and she fainted on the spot.
Emperor Jianwen glanced at everyone's faces one by one, and finally asked: "Where is the imperial doctor?"
The two imperial doctors who had been waiting beside them stepped forward tremblingly: "Wei Chen is here!"
Emperor Jianwen said calmly: "Carry the seventh prince into the tent."
