Prince He couldn't bear to look away, and he slowly said: "Second brother, this is the crime you deserve."
"Are you even afraid of Rong Xia?" Jiang Luo lay in front of the door and said hoarsely, "If you don't care about me, no one in this world will care about me anymore."
"You are so shameless," Banhua stood in front of Prince He. "You have done so many evil things and you still have the nerve to pretend to be pitiful. It's just that you are arrogant when you see your cousin is soft-hearted."
Liu Banshan felt that the word arrogance based on favor seemed inappropriate to be used here.
"Banhua..." Jiang Luo looked at Banhua blankly, and suddenly laughed crazily, "You, a former princess, are going to end up together with Rong Xia, what good end will you have? I ended up in such a miserable state today. How many days can you survive?"
Banhua sneered: "No matter how many days I can be good, at least now I am the queen, and you are a prisoner. Instead of caring about me, it is better to think about your future days."
"Huahua is my relative, my partner, and the person I care about the most," Rong Xia walked up to Banhua, her eyes like winter ice, so cold that it chilled people to the very core, "It seems that King Wu The time you have been detained here is still too short, otherwise you would not be talking so nonsense."
Jiang Luo thought of the days he was imprisoned in the sky prison, with fear in his eyes.
Ban Hua looked at Jiang Luo calmly and lowered his eyelids slightly.
Rong Xia stopped looking at him and turned to look at Prince He: "Prince He, do you think I will believe that the person who assassinated Huahua was arranged by him?"
He and the prince looked at Jiang Luo in prison, and after a long while he spoke with difficulty: "It's not him."
"It seems... His Highness knows who the murderer is?" Rong Xia turned to look at Prince He, as if he was just asking a very casual question.
He and the prince were silent for a long time: "Yes, I know."
Banhua looked at Prince He in surprise. She had always thought that this matter had nothing to do with Prince He, but Prince He suddenly said that he knew who the murderer was. With his character, he actually voluntarily confessed Shi, who might be the real murderer. ?
"Who?" Rong Xia asked.
The sky prison was quiet for a long time. Banhua looked at the prince without speaking.
"My princess, Shi Suyue."
He Prince's Mansion.
Shi put on his most gorgeous robe, wore a nine-phoenix hairpin, and sat on the toffee chair. The moment the Praetorian Guards rushed in, she smiled.
"He Qin Princess," Du Jiu stepped into the main courtyard and looked at the woman sitting upright. She was graceful and luxurious. Although she was not a very beautiful woman, her demeanor was beyond the reach of ordinary women. His Majesty ordered you to be taken to the palace."
"Arrest?" Shi Shi stood up slowly, "I have long expected this day. How can the new emperor tolerate us old people from the previous dynasty? It's just a life, he Rong Xia thought If you want it, take it."
Du Jiu smiled faintly: "The princess had a different idea. The minister asked the princess to assist in investigating the case of the Queen Empress being attacked by an assassin."
Shi's face turned pale, but the momentum on his lips was not weak at all, "What your Majesty wants to do is just an order, so why make any excuses. As a weak woman, I can only obey orders."
What Du Jiu understood from what she said was that His Majesty made things difficult for former dynasty friends. He had seen many of these little tricks used by women from the back house when he was a secret agent, so he didn't take it to heart at all.
He glanced at the surrounding people who dared not express their anger and the prince's servants, and chuckled: "Princess, unless you are a high-ranking woman in the harem, you are not allowed to call yourself this palace without permission. Please be careful what you say."
"Princess, please leave immediately."
Shi sneered and walked out of the door.
When she walked out of the gate of Prince He's Mansion, she stopped and looked at Du Jiu: "Where is the prince?"
Du Jiu bowed and saluted: "Princess, please don't worry, I am fine with His Highness."
Shi frowned: "I'm not asking if he is okay, I want to know about him..." She paused and did not speak again.
It was already dark at this time. Except for the two lanterns hanging in the palace, Shi could not see any light on the street. She glanced at the carriage parked in front of her. It was exquisitely made and had a phoenix carved on it.
Holding the maid's hand and stepping onto the carriage, she looked back at the guards surrounding the carriage. Their faces were all in shadow, which made people feel frightened for no reason.
Outside the Zhuque Gate, Shi Jin was stopped by guards.
"Master Shi, please go back. It's getting late, and Your Majesty won't see you." The guard did not dare to offend Shi Jin, so he could only persuade him kindly, "If you have something important, I will be willing to hand over the paper to Big Moon Palace, but if you enter the palace at this time, I'm afraid there will be something wrong."
"Please pass the message on my behalf, I am really in a hurry!"
The two guards looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, and then said helplessly: "Please wait for a moment, I will ask someone to inform you. As for whether it will succeed or not, I can't guarantee it."
"Thank you two generals!"
"Don't dare," the guard said with an embarrassed smile, "We are just gatekeepers, how can we be called generals? Master Shi has defeated the last general."
"Wait a minute, this is not the Suzaku Gate." Shi opened the carriage curtain and looked around, "This is the Xuanwu Gate."
Du Jiu ignored her and led people directly into the palace.
In the main hall of Dayue Palace, Banhua sat on the right side of Rongxia, and sat at the bottom with the prince, looking a little dazed and gloomy. When he saw Du Jiu coming in, he glanced behind Du Jiu.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and the Princess have already brought them."
"Xuan."
Rong Xia glanced at Prince He and said in a cold tone, "Prince He, is there anything I need to say?"
He Prince shook his head silently, feeling extremely decadent.
When Mrs. Shi walked into the hall, she did not salute Rong Xia and Banhua, nor did she look at Prince He. She stood straight in the hall, looking at Rong Xia and Banhua without hesitation, with a mocking smile on her face. Meaning, "You are sitting on it now, it's just because your methods are better."
"You are so strange. You don't blame Jiang Luo and the common people, you don't blame the Jiang family for making the whole world a mess, but you spread all your grievances on us," Banhua retorted, "The change of dynasties is It's natural. Isn't it right that the throne of the Jiang family was taken from the Sima family?"
"Banhua, you are in the position you are today just because you have a beautiful face." Shi raised her chin, "You don't have to be sharp-tongued with me to show off your status as a queen. In the harem, there is no shortage of things. The only thing is that for women, especially beautiful women, sooner or later you will be disappointed."
"What's wrong with my pretty face? I eat your rice and drink your water," Banhua stood up from the table and said with a smile, "Actually, I think you two sisters from the Shi family have a lot in common. , for example, you always look down on my face."
"But why do you look down on me, just because I'm beautiful?" Banhua laughed, "If you look down on me for being beautiful, then I'm willing to let you look down on me for the rest of your life. I just don't know why some people look down on me. , or do you envy me?"
"Shut up, you, a frivolous woman who only relies on her looks to attract men, how can you compare with me?!" Shi pointed at Banhua, "Even if I die today, my wronged soul will still die. I’m watching you day and night to see how long you can last.”
Banhua discovered that Mr. Shi hated him very much, or was extremely dissatisfied with her. She stepped down the steps, twisted Shi's hand pointing at her with her backhand, and easily pushed her away a few steps: "Princess Heqin is a well-educated and sensible woman, how could she not know that it is impolite to point at others?"
Shi Shi was in pain, covering her hands and stepped back. She looked at Banhua bitterly: "Banhua, you have received so much favor from the Jiang family, but you gave the Tiger Talisman to Rong Xia. You are worthy of the rank and file of the Jiang family." Ancestors, do you have the dignity of Princess Dening?"
She gave Rong Xia the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies?
Banhua raised her eyebrows. She probably understood why Shi wanted her to die, because in Shi's heart, she was the one who handed Rong Xia the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies to Rong Xia and helped Rong Xia win over the generals. Will lose.
"Princess Heqin, there are some things you may not understand," Banhua looked at Shi with pity, "The person who prevented you from being the queen was not me, but the Jiang family. I can be the queen because of my husband He is the emperor. But without me, he can still be the emperor."
"What the Jiang family has lost... is the support of the people," Banhua shook his head and sighed, "If you don't even understand this, it would be a good thing not to be the queen."
"Shut up, shut up, everything is an excuse."
Shi suddenly took off the gold hairpin from her hair and rushed towards Banhua. Banhua easily avoided it and reached out to knock Shi's wrist. The gold hairpin fell down and Shi was slapped to the ground by Banhua.
"I will not hit a woman if it is not necessary." Banhua straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves, his tone steady.
"Huahua," Rong Xia rushed to Banhua's side, "You're okay."
"I'm fine." Banhua shook his head, and when Prince He stood up and walked over, he said, "This is a matter between us women. You men, please don't interfere, just go back and sit down."
Rong Xia glanced at Shi who was lying on the ground, turned around and sat back.
He and the prince stood stiffly in place, slowly turned their heads and closed their eyes. He knew Huahua, and Huahua had always been tolerant to women, but this time, Su Yue had completely offended her.
"If you just want to kill me, I will spare you this time because you didn't succeed and I am my cousin's wife." Banhua squatted down and grabbed Shi's neck. He forced her to look at him, "But if you want to plot against my man, then I won't let you."
Shi Shi said in a hoarse voice: "So what if you kill me, I will still be the last princess of the Daye Dynasty, and my name will definitely be remembered in history. Today I lost my life at your hands, even if thousands of years pass, I will still be remembered by future generations. People will also know that you are a queen with blood on your hands."
"Death is like a lamp going out, no matter what other people say in the future," Banhua looked at Shi's proud face and couldn't help but slap her face hard, "What do you want? If you want to be famous in future generations, fine, I will make it happen for you."
"Cousin," Banhua looked back at the prince with an expressionless face, and loosened his grip on Shi's neck, "Shi had an affair with a foreigner, assassinated the emperor, and is not worthy of being a princess. Today I will make the decision for you. Divorce her and let her leave her name in history."
"No, you can't do this!" Shi didn't allow her status to become no longer noble. She knelt down in front of Prince He and said, "Your Majesty, we are a married couple, you can't do this to me."
Looking at Mr. Shi with his disheveled bun, Prince He thought of his second brother in the prison. The second brother seemed to be acting like this when he begged him. He didn't really respect and love his brother, he just felt that he should intercede for him and tolerate him.
The same goes for Shi. She married him because he was the prince. What she valued was the status of the prince, not him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Shi grabbed Prince He's robe, "Can you say something?"
Prince He bent down, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from Shi's face, and then opened Shi's hand little by little, "Shi, how have I treated you these years?"
Shi looked at Prince He puzzledly, not knowing what to say.
"When I got married to you, I have always felt guilty for you because my father rewarded you with two concubines. Even when you gave them two concubines, I always pretended that you didn't know and didn't even see you. "They," Prince He smiled bitterly, "I don't know if they are helping you or hurting you. You are becoming more dignified every day. I often even wonder if I am hurting you and letting you live in the East Palace." Not happy."
"Later I learned that you didn't care what I thought at all. You wanted a stable position as Crown Princess and a legitimate son." Prince He pointed to his chest, "Suyue, even if I am a royal I also have a heart for this man."
Shi Suyue looked at Prince He blankly, and asked after a long while: "Since you are not with those concubines, why did you let them get pregnant?"
"Have you forgotten?" Prince He stood up straight and took two steps back. "It was you who arranged them into my room when I was drunk. Now I only have one daughter on my knees, her biological mother. When she was giving birth, she suffered a hemorrhage and died. Whether her death was an accident or man-made, I have never checked, and I dare not check."
"This is all my fault. I'm sorry for you and for them." Prince He closed his eyes and did not meet Shi Suyue's eyes. "Suyue, since you and I are ruthless, why force it."
"After all, you still want to win Banhua's heart and divorce me!" Shi Suyue looked at Prince He with hatred, "She is not your biological sister, just your cousin, why do you want to Being so nice to her?!"
Prince He shook his head: "Suyue, you still don't understand that some things are not measured by status and interests. Although I am indecisive and incompetent, if someone treats me seriously, I will know it."
"For your Shi family, I have already made Huahua wronged once, and I will not let her be wronged a second time." Prince He opened his eyes and his attitude became extremely firm, "Wei Chen, I have no objection."
"Jiang Han, I hate you!" Shi Suyue's eyes were red and she looked like she was crazy. "You gave up the throne to others. I have been planning for you for so long, but you have to abandon me for others. You have no conscience."
"Are you doing it for me or for yourself?" Prince He sighed in disappointment, turned to the superior Rong Xia and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen's poor stewardship caused the Queen to almost be in danger. Wei Chen is ashamed. To the extreme. Now that the past is over, I am asking Your Majesty to allow me to guard the tomb of the Daye royal family and not to interfere in the affairs of the court."
"Cousin..." Banhua's face changed slightly, "Why are you doing this?"
"Empress, I am not a person who is good at strategizing. If I go to guard the imperial mausoleum, I can get some peace and quiet." He and his wife Wang Rongxia gave a grand ceremony, "I beg your majesty and empress to make things happen."
"Accurate performance."
Ban Hua looked at Rong Xia and Prince He without speaking.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Shi Suyue wanted to grab Prince He's leg, but Prince He stopped looking at her, turned around and exited the hall, disappearing into the night.
"Your Highness!" Shi Suyue lay at the door and cried uncontrollably, "I made a mistake. I really know that I made a mistake. Don't do this to me..."
When an indecisive person never looks back, it means that his heart has already been broken.
At this moment, a **** stood outside the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Madam, Sir Shi wants to see you."
"It's so late, why is he here?" Banhua glanced at Shi Suyue, turned to Rong Xia and whispered, "Is he here to plead for Shi?"
Rong Xia held her hand, turned to the **** and said, "Xuan."
Banhua coughed dryly: "Wouldn't it be more troublesome to let him come now?"
"Don't worry," Rong Xia smiled gently at her, "Some things should be dealt with earlier."
As soon as Shi Jin entered the Dayue Palace, he saw Mr. Shi lying on the ground crying bitterly. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly stepped forward to salute Banhua and Rong Xia respectfully: "I have seen your majesty and my empress."
"Master Shi, there is no need to be polite, just give me a seat."
"I am guilty and dare not sit down." Shi Jin lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down to Rong Xia, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Oh?" Rong Xia raised her eyebrows, poured a cup of tea for Ban Hua, and then turned to look at Shi Jin, "I wonder what Mr. Shi is guilty of?"
"My sister is so bold that she dares to offend the Queen. The ministers are extremely frightened and come here to plead guilty." Shi Jin bowed again, but this time it was Banhua, "I beg the Queen to punish me."
Shi Jin couldn't see Banhua's expression when his forehead touched the cold ground, and he didn't have the nerve to look at Banhua.
"Master Shi is here to plead for Shi?" Banhua looked at Shi Jin who was kneeling on the ground, then turned to look at Shi, "Shi Suyue, have you ever thought about how your family will be affected if things go wrong?" In your heart, is your position more important than your family?"
Shi shook his head violently: "This is my fault alone and has nothing to do with him. I beg you...the empress for advice."
She didn't beg Banhua just now, but at this time, she finally started begging for someone.
"I knew there would be today's result, why did you take the risk?" Banhua waved his hand, "Shi Jin, step back, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"Empress..."
"Shut up," Shi Suyue didn't want Shi Jin to speak again. She looked at Banhua, who was sitting at the top, who was too beautiful to be true, and wiped away the tears on her face little by little, "I was engaged to the prince when I was nine. , everyone around me told me that I was the Crown Princess, the future Queen, and that I was born to be the Queen. I look forward and look forward to it every day, waiting and waiting, just want to put on the phoenix robe, put on the phoenix crown, and accept the official duties The blessed woman’s pilgrimage.”
"I was born to be a queen," Shi Suyue looked at her well-maintained arms, and the light in her eyes dimmed little by little, "I am not willing to accept it."
But at this time, when she saw that her brother would rather offend Rong Xia than go to the palace to plead for her, her resentment seemed to be no longer so overwhelming, "I plead guilty, but this matter has nothing to do with others. I beg your Majesty and the Queen to spare others."
Rong Xia didn't answer, he was looking at Banhua.
Banhua understood that he wanted to leave the decision-making power on this matter to her. She calmed down and called Du Jiu in, who was guarding the outside: "Du Jiu, send people to investigate the entire capital and search for the former court." Don’t kill innocent people indiscriminately, but don’t let go of those who have evil intentions.”
"Yes!" Du Jiu was horrified. The Queen wanted to thoroughly investigate the people of the previous dynasty. If they don't like the current dynasty and want to return to the previous dynasty, they will definitely not be able to escape under this thorough investigation.
The Queen was really angered by Feng Yan this time, otherwise she would not miss her old feelings so much.
When he was ordered to retreat, and when he walked out of the Dayue Palace, he couldn't help but stop when he thought of what Jiang Luo said in the prison. Is the Queen so angry just because the Shi family sent people to assassinate her, or is it because the Shi family wants to assassinate His Majesty?
Although His Majesty does not show his emotions or anger, he can at least see that His Majesty has the Queen in his eyes and heart.
But the Queen...
Looking cute and innocent, with a simple mind and doing things as he pleases. But if you are willing to test her, you will find that she is an extremely complicated woman. Since childhood, he has been well-dressed and well-fed, surrounded by stars, but he has also developed martial arts skills.
Everyone who has practiced martial arts knows that those who cannot endure hardship cannot develop good skills, no matter how talented they are in martial arts.
However, although Niangniang Wen cannot write poems, she is not as devoid of literary talent as the rumors say. Her martial arts skills put many men to shame. Although she is a bit lazy and willful, she has never done anything beyond The bottom line of Emperor Yunqing.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Du Jiu suddenly felt that Banhua was unfathomable.
"Shi Jin, take Shi Suyue away," Banhua said slowly, "I will leave her life to you."
She lowered her eyelids, her eyes filled with coolness.
Rong Xia's index finger gently rubbed the teacup a few times, then turned to Banhua and smiled slightly to show that he supported Banhua's decision.
"Thank you... Your Majesty, thank you Queen." Shi Jin kowtowed to the two of them, then turned to help Shi Suyue, "Let's go back with me."
Shi Suyue bowed to the emperor and empress, and followed Shi Jin out of Dayue Palace.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has long since disappeared. The courtyard where Shi Jin lives now was given to him by the imperial court. Although it is not as luxurious as the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is still complete. He asked his servants to help Shi Suyue change her clothes and comb her hair into a bun, and said to Shi Suyue, "You have a good rest, and you can live here with peace of mind in the future."
"Ajin," Shi Suyue called to Shi Jin, "a few years ago, my mother once mentioned to me that you have a crush on a woman. Who is she?"
"She has already married a woman, and I have forgotten her," Shi Jin looked at Shi Suyue calmly, "Why bother mentioning the past again."
"I know," Shi Suyue sat in front of the mirror and put a rocker in her hair, "She was engaged to Xie Qilin at that time, so you went to the border to avoid news about her."
"It's a pity that everything can't be controlled by people's will." Shi Suyue touched her hair and suddenly smiled when she heard the sound of the watch outside, "It's the third watch."
Shi Jin looked at the gorgeous red hairpin in her hair and couldn't help but said: "Take off the hairpin earlier and rest."
"I know," Shi Suyue asked, putting some lipstick on her lips, "Why did you come?"
"For the sake of my family, I failed to save Feixian," Shi Jin looked a little depressed, "I can't let this happen a second time."
Hearing this, Shi Suyue smiled, with tears in her eyes, and turned to look at Shi Jin: "Ajin, do I look good?"
"Good-looking."
"Which one is more beautiful, me or Banhua?"
Shi Jin did not answer.
"In your eyes, she is probably the most beautiful," Shi Suyue still just smiled, using eyebrow dye to dye the tips of her eyebrows a nice color, "You can go out, I should go to bed."
Shi Jin glanced at the radiant Shi Suyue, "Have a good rest and don't think too much about other things."
"I understand," Shi Suyue put down her eyebrows and looked at Shi Jin gently, "It's cold at night, so take care of yourself."
Shi Jin bowed to her and retreated silently.
Watching Shi Jin leave, until his footsteps could no longer be heard, Shi Suyue traced a gorgeous peach blossom between her eyebrows.
She painted extremely seriously, with every stroke done carefully, as if she was doing the most important thing in her life.
She has been dignified all her life, and before leaving, she also wanted to add a bit of color to herself.
Maybe a long time ago...
She also envied Banhua.
