i want to marry a princess

In the early morning, Ling Mansion.

Nian'er was dressed in simple clothes, and she came to the study with the snacks she had just made in the kitchen.

Gently push the door and go in, the eyes are in the darkness, Ling Qi is sitting on a chair in black clothes, he is completely integrated with the night without saying a word, if it is not for the moonlight, she will not be able to find him at all, and she will not see him at all. The loneliness and pain on his face.

Nian'er approached and said: "Husband, you haven't eaten all day and you haven't slept all night, I brought some snacks."

As she said that, she put down her snacks and lit the candles beside her.

The sudden light made Ling Qi feel a little uncomfortable, he froze for a moment before shaking his head, "I don't need it."

Nian'er felt distressed for a while, and she persuaded: "Husband, why should you blame yourself, the royal family has wronged you and the father-in-law, and now they just let them pay with blood."

Ling Qi is a kind person. He has been tortured since he learned the truth. On the one hand, he wants to avenge his mother, but on the other hand, his heart is suffering.

Ling Qi looked at Nian'er, and suddenly felt a little strange, her eyes were so beautiful, but there was a giant beast in them, telling him constantly that he should take revenge and kill his enemies!

But his enemy is not Sima Yi!But they killed several of his children and even future children!

Such torture almost made him feel overwhelmed.

Suddenly there were footsteps at the door, Nian'er turned her head and saw Ling Pingzhi, stood up quickly, and said respectfully, "My daughter-in-law has seen my father-in-law."

Ling Qi was startled, and turned around.He was delighted to see this father again, but gradually, this father also became strange.

"father."

Although Ling Pingzhi has not been by Ling Qi's side for many years, he knows his father very well, and he also knows what kind of character his son will be under his father's training and teaching.

"You're still hesitating." Ling Pingzhi walked into the room and asked Ling Qi directly, his tone affirmative.

Ling Qi didn't know how to answer, but he just said: "I just wonder if this kind of method is too cruel? The former emperor has passed away long ago, and now the emperor is extinct, so why do you always remember hatred, father?"

As if he had heard a joke, Ling Pingzhi looked up to the sky and laughed, "Cruel? Did you ever think of being cruel when the late emperor plotted against me and your mother?! You lost your parents when you were young, and you still have to work for the enemies who killed your father and mother. Do you feel cruel?!"

He looked at Ling Qi abruptly, not as if he was looking at his own son, but at something. He said coldly, "What I want is for their royal family to be restored. If it wasn't for the throne back then, how could there be a The sacrifices of our countless people? As for the method, I don’t think about it. I can only say that the royal family has committed too many sins, and Sima Yi is too unlucky, so everything will fall on him!"

Ling Qi was frightened by the hatred in his eyes, and asked after a while, "Is Sima He a good emperor? Will he be kind to us when he becomes the emperor?"

Ling Pingzhi said with a sinister smile: "Who said he was going to be the emperor?"

Ling Qi was puzzled, "What do you mean? If he didn't want to be emperor, why did he do all this?"

Nian'er sighed softly, and silently stepped back into the room.

"Sima He just wants the royal family to be in chaos, so that Sima Yi will be a subjugated king under the sorrow of his heir. Think about it, if the vassal kings of all places know that Sima Yi has no heirs, wouldn't they be ready to move? A Sailu, he is still in the capital!"

Ling Qi was shocked, and lamented that Sima He was a lunatic, "Did he not care about the safety of thousands of people?! He even let the Turkic invaders, have you forgotten that the Turkic people have enmity with us for generations?!"

Ling Pingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is nothing I can do about the Turks getting in on me. Back then, I asked Kule to arrest you. I didn't want to be found out by Sailu's people and robbed you halfway. I had no choice but to ask Sima He for help, Sima Although He saved you, it also aroused Seru's suspicion. Later, he approached Sima He, and we hit it off immediately, and it's not impossible to cooperate temporarily."

Ling Qi looked at his father in disappointment, a man blinded by hatred.

Perhaps because of being stung by such gazes, Ling Pingzhi said angrily, "You really have the same temperament as that old man!"

Hearing this, Ling Qi was taken aback, "Grandpa, is he..." His words were a little difficult, and he couldn't believe the thought that suddenly came to him.

"Did he be given by you..."

After speaking, Ling Qi lowered his head in pain, he really couldn't speak.Ling Pingzhi understood what he meant, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and said: "I swear on my life, I definitely did not kill father. He wants to stop us with death, but he is blindly loyal! People are ruthless, have you ever thought about us? But he still only thinks about serving the country faithfully!"

His parents died young, and Ling Qi was raised by his grandfather carefully. It can be said that if there is no grandfather, there will be no him.Since childhood, his grandfather taught him to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and to do good with one heart, but he never taught him how to choose when facing family enemies and the country.

Ling Pingzhi still knew his son well. He stepped forward and patted Ling Qi on the shoulder like a loving father, "In the future, the whole line of our Ling family will belong to you. My son, after revenge , I will have nothing to worry about as a father, and then everything will be handed over to you."

The burden on Ling Qi's shoulders unknowingly became heavier.

At this time, Nian'er pushed the door open and entered, "Eunuch, the prince has sent you a letter, it's time to withdraw it."

Ling Pingzhi nodded, "Well, let's set off immediately!"

Ling Qi raised his head, "What about the people in the mansion?"

Ling Pingzhi smiled lightly, "Don't worry, Sima Yi won't hurt innocent people."

The coldness and indifference in that smile made Ling Qi's heart as cold as winter.

Half an hour later, all the people that Guo Chan wanted to catch were gathered in a courtyard in Dongcheng.

Sima He sat at the top, Ling Pingzhi and Ling Qi sat at the bottom left, facing Sai Lu.

Sai Lu looked at Sima He who was still leisurely drinking tea, and suddenly felt a little uncertain. After hesitating for a while, he tentatively said: "We have been exposed at this time, why is the prince still so leisurely?"

Sima He smiled, "Many of my cousins ​​are ready to move, so let them make trouble for Sima Yi first."

After a little thought, Seru understood Sima Yi's meaning, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.

"My lord is so thoughtful and scheming!" Sai Lu's fear of Sima He increased a bit in his heart.

Sima He was unmoved by Sai Lu's admiration, "What is the eldest prince going to do next? Mrs. Zhao Zhaoyi is now under house arrest in the palace, and Lord Zhao has not escaped Huo Rufeng's pursuit. Now it seems that the eldest prince The loss is much greater, and this king feels very sorry."

Sai Lu didn't think that Sima He was really sorry, but he still said gently on his face: "Zhao Laiyi has Zhao Zhong and her method to survive, and he will definitely be able to survive until the day the prince enters the palace. As for the other things, the prince's own private affairs, I will naturally I can't interfere, so I have decided to leave Beijing and return to Turkic today."

Sima Yi already knew the relationship between the Zhao family and him, so he had to leave the capital as soon as possible, and Sima He was not a kind person, so staying in the capital would be to seek skin from a tiger.

Sima He didn't seem to care that Sai Lu was about to leave Beijing, what he cared about was another matter, "Is the poison in Sima Yi really unsolvable?"

Sai Lu said: "There is no cure for this. The prince still remembers the snow lotus plant at the Qianqiu Banquet. In fact, it was not a snow lotus, but a Bingxin grass unique to Turkic. It is similar to the snow lotus, but the effect is quite different. As for As a result, don't you think I haven't had any younger brother or younger sister born in the past 15 years?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, but Ling Qi at the side was shocked.

In the end, Seru frowned, "But this poison..."

Sima He raised his eyes, "What?"

Cylu shook his head, "It's nothing...no problem."

He thought that the life of an ordinary concubine was not a big deal.

Sima He stood up, "Since this is the case, then I wish the eldest prince a smooth journey back to Turkic!"

Seru clasped his fists together, "It's easy to say, I should wish you, my lord, to ascend to the throne soon! Princess Danyang..."

Sima He laughed twice, "The eldest prince is really infatuated, don't worry, Danyang has no enmity with me, I will save her life."

"So, thank you, my lord!"

After bidding farewell to Sima He, Sai Lu didn't dare to stay any longer, so he immediately summoned his people, and a group of people dressed in the Central Plains prepared to leave the capital.

Zhao Zhong has been planning in the capital for many years, and secretly arranged enough to send him away from the capital. He never expected to meet Guo Chan outside the city gate.

Guo Chan was surrounded by hundreds of imperial guards, she looked at Sai Lu coldly, "Does the eldest prince really think that you can leave the capital safe and sound after doing so many things in the capital?"

Sai Lu scolded Zhao Laiyi in his heart, no one except the Zhao family would know his route out of the city.

Calming his mind, Sailu said: "Princess, I promise not to intervene in any war during your civil strife, how about you let me go?"

Guo Chan sneered, and when she raised her hand, hundreds of arrows were aimed at Sai Lu, and Sai Lu was startled, it seemed that Guo Chan did not intend to let him go today.

"If I die here, my father will definitely start a war, but fighting the Turks at this time will not do you any good?"

Guo Chan naturally understood what he meant. There were changes in the feudal lords all over the place this morning. If she guessed right, Sima He would definitely tell the world what the former emperor did back then, which would arouse the reaction of all the officials and arouse the vassal kings. ambition.

Even though the first emperor was also their father, taking advantage of the chaos was always something a greedy person would do, and Sima He also grasped this point.

"So, I didn't intend to kill you either." Guo Chan's eyes narrowed, "I'd dirty my hands if I killed you!"

Faced with hundreds of people, Sailu only brought ten people, and hit the stone with an egg, looking for a dead end.

"Then there will be Princess Lao."

Guo Chan was very satisfied with Sai Lu's understanding of current affairs, and she immediately ordered someone to escort Sai Lu and his party into the palace.He himself returned to the Hou Mansion.

Day and night, Lu Jinyan had been waiting for Guo Chan, and finally saw her before he felt relieved.

Guo Chan first told her all the things from yesterday to today, and Lu Jinyan knew that all this originated from the former emperor, and he was filled with emotion.

Knowing that Sai Lu was caught by Guo Chan, Lu Jinyan asked in confusion, "How do you know Sai Lu's whereabouts?"

It stands to reason that Seru's whereabouts at this time should be highly confidential, and Guo Chanqi would easily find out.

Guo Chan's eyes flashed, Lu Jinyan stood up and walked around her, nodded repeatedly, and said in a firm tone: "Zhao Laiyi told you."

Guo Chan, who has always been calm, didn't know why she panicked for no reason at this moment, and quickly explained: "I swear I didn't promise her anything."

Lu Jinyan narrowed his eyes, "Oh? Then what does she want you to promise?"

……

Guo Chan didn't answer, but Lu Jinyan rolled his eyes, "You don't need to tell me, I know, I must let you leave me!"

"how do you know?"

Lu Jinyan glanced at her, "You are so stupid!"

Guo Chan smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't promise her anything."

Being embraced by Guo Chan, Lu Jinyan was both moved and sad, "Ah Chan..."

"Ok?"

Lu Jinyan hesitated whether to tell Guo Chan that the eldest princess already knew about the two of them.

"The county lord."

It's Holly.

Lu Jinyan gently broke away from Guo Chan's arms, Guo Chan felt lost for a moment.

"The emperor's edict of guilt has been announced to the world."

Lu Jinyan saw that Dongqing happened to have a copy in his hand, so he took it over to have a look.

The first half of this Edict of Guilt expounds the crimes of the former emperor. It clearly describes the former emperor's various behaviors, and does not hide the former emperor's narrow-mindedness and vicious methods.Sima Yi's move can be described as very bold.

In the second half, Sima Yi earnestly expressed his guilt and compensation for the Ruyang Palace and the General's Mansion. At the same time, he made King Ruyang the Regent, Princess Ruyang the First Grade Concubine, and Ling Qi the General of the Town. , Nian'er is a minister's wife.

In the end, Sima Yi also directly expressed his difficulties in the matter of heirs, and Zhang's son is actually a princess, so he promised that if he had no heir, he would canonize the son of Prince Ruyang as the next crown prince!

"Your Majesty, you are a good Emperor!"

Lu Jinyan sighed and put down the sinful edict in his hand. Every sentence and every word in it is undoubtedly not a kind of whipping against the late emperor, a kind of destruction of the late emperor's authority.This is something that future generations have always tabooed. As an emperor, the son of the former emperor, Sima Yi's actions are shocking.

Because his actions like this will undoubtedly shame the current royal family, and also make him an indelible stain.

"But it's the only way now." Guo Chan took the sinful edict and tore it up. "The crown prince is hopeless, and the vassal king must have a different heart. Only in this way, can we preemptively stabilize the situation and avoid the capital from being attacked."

If the news of the former emperor's inhumanity spread from Sima He and others, it would have a completely different effect.

Since ancient times, there have been many unjust souls who died under the imperial power.The truth that can go is covered up, and it is only this time that the current emperor cuts it open for the public to see like today.

Moreover, Sima Yi directly stated that there is no crown prince, and even if there is a change, the vassal kings will be unknown, because Sima Yi told the whole world that if they have no heirs, they will choose the children of Ruyang Palace.

Golden mouth and jade words must not be changed.

Lu Jinyan continued: "It also forced Sima He, Ling Pingzhi and others into a dead end. They can only accept the emperor's reward and appeasement, or directly go against the way of a monarch and minister to rebel!"

That's really the best way to go right now, but for some it's not.

The queen mother was shocked and speechless when she learned about Zhao Laiyi early in the morning, and when she saw Sima Yi's sin against herself, she was even more shocked and fainted.

One can imagine the empress dowager's mood when a person who has always been favored and trusted by her side is suddenly bitten back one day.

But what the queen mother didn't understand the most was Sima Yi's sinful edict. How could Sima Yi, who is a son, expose his father's secrets? This sinful edict obviously damaged the reputation of the late emperor. It's very disrespectful.

But what she couldn't accept the most was that Sima Yi claimed that he was infertile, and that Zhang's prince was actually a princess, and in the end he wanted to make Sima He's child the crown prince!

How can the queen mother who has worked hard in the harem all her life accept this!

The queen mother who refused to admit defeat immediately summoned the imperial hospital to take the emperor's pulse one after another, and all the conclusions were the same!

Now the queen mother is also a little disheartened, regretting that she didn't intervene to prevent Zhang from killing the emperor's heir!

This move of the queen mother defeated the ministers who were still somewhat uncertain and prepared to write a letter to oppose it. Now they can only hope that the Ruyang Palace will flourish and one of the best children will be selected as the heir.

In the hearts of all the old officials, what happened to the former emperor is already a thing of the past.Today's emperor is justified, has no faults, and is gentle. Even if he has no heirs, he can be adopted, as long as he is of royal blood.

There is no need to overthrow a dynasty because of the fault of the former emperor. One emperor and one courtier, who knows what will happen if the emperor is changed.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager smashed countless jade cups, but the anger in her heart still hasn't been relieved in the slightest.

"Where's Mrs. Zhao?!"

The queen mother never thought that the Zhao family turned out to be Turkic spies!Especially since Zhao Laiyi played the little white rabbit by her side since entering the palace, it coaxed her into a circle!

Abominable!

"Go back to the empress dowager, Mrs. Zhao is now imprisoned in a prison, and the emperor ordered no one to visit her!"

The Empress Dowager glared, "This Palace is also shameless?!"

"Yes..." Mammy thought for a while and said, "Probably because something like this happened in the palace, the defense has become stricter."

"Is it all for now?" The queen mother really couldn't swallow this breath.

"Now for the sake of the overall situation, the empress may have to do so."

"Zhao Laiyi!" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, wishing to smash her to pieces.

Sima Yi has no heirs, and the most pitiful are the women in the harem.

The concubine who wants to rely on the mother to be precious is completely hopeless, facing the cold palace wall all day long, how can she resist the boundless loneliness in her heart.

Ren Suyao threw the letter sent by Ren Rong into the censer, and sighed softly, the arrogance he had when he first entered the palace had been worn away and disappeared without a trace.

She also thought that she would be prosperous once, but now she has no hope at all.

The maid at the side was chattering, but she couldn't hear clearly, only heard the word Ling Jieyu.

She asked: "Ling Jieyu, what's wrong?"

The palace maid cut off the conversation and replied: "Master, this servant is suspicious that Ling Jieyu would come to our palace every day on weekdays, but she didn't come these two days."

It was only then that Ren Suyao remembered that she had indeed not seen Ling Jieyu for two days.Since the two were tied together because of that incident at that time, the relationship between the two has become a little closer.

Now the harem is useless, and Ren Suyao didn't want to lose her last friend, so she sent the palace maid to greet her.

The palace maid said back and forth, it turned out that Ling Jieyu was ill a few days ago, she thought it was a minor illness, but she didn't want to get better after a few days, but it got worse.

Ren Suyao now has some sincerity towards Ling Jieyu, so she asked the imperial physician to take a look. She didn't want the imperial physician and didn't know why, so she prescribed some ordinary tonics to see if it would improve.

A few days later, Ren Suyao heard that Ling Jieyu hadn't recovered yet, so she couldn't sit still, and when she arrived in Ling Jieyu's palace, she was frightened by the sight.

Ling Jieyu, who was originally as beautiful as a flower, now looks like she is about to die.

"Sister Ling! How... how did you become like this?"

Ling Jieyu smiled slightly, her smile was a little sad, "I don't know why this happened, and I didn't see any problem after seeing the imperial physician."

At this moment, the maid at the side interjected, "There is nothing wrong with it, those imperial physicians are busy treating the emperor now, they don't care about our empress at all, they just looked around and left."

Ling Jieyu scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. The emperor's body is naturally the most important."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Ren Suyao. She was grateful that Ren Suyao could come to see her today.She has no backing other than the emperor's favor, and now the only backing she has is too busy to take care of herself, who would take her little Jieyu seriously.

"Thank you sister for coming to see me today."

Ren Suyao wondered how a good person in normal life turned into this appearance for no reason, so she asked Ling Jieyu about her daily life recently.

Ling Jieyu herself was also very surprised, "These days are no different from usual..."

The maid said: "Your Majesty just felt a little uncomfortable on the day she came back from the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Ling Jieyu thought it was true, Ren Suyao didn't know about the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and looked at the master and servant strangely.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is heavily guarded, even if something happens, nothing will happen there.

So Ling Jieyu told all about what happened that day in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Now that Zhao Laiyi is in prison, everyone knows that she committed a crime, but they don't know what it is.

"Is it because of this?"

Ling Jieyu shook her head, "I don't know, but something was really wrong with the emperor that day."

Ren Suyao thought of someone who might be able to help, she asked, "You said that the Princess is here?"

"Well. When I went that day, the princess was also in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"Then we may be able to ask the princess for help."
