Chapter 55: Exchanging one person’s righteousness for the world’s righteousness
The snow is a bit heavy, and there is more snow in Jingguo this year than in previous years.
Lu Xinyi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked step by step towards the center of the palace.
She held a golden nanmu box in her hand, which contained all the evidence she had collected over the past few days.
There are only three days left for Li Yue Kingdom’s official visit, and she must make all preparations for Emperor Jing before then.
The costumes are thick and magnificent, but they also show their majesty. Step by step, the gold ornaments leave marks in the snow.
Hearing that Princess Xinyi asked for an audience, Emperor Jing woke up from his bed. The heavy paperwork had made him miserable. The days had suddenly cooled down again, and his complexion did not look good.
But he still managed to keep his spirits up, looked at himself in the mirror again, washed himself up, and then welcomed his daughter in with a smile.
Lu Xinyi presented the golden nanmu box with both hands. After bowing, he told the whole story about how Yue Kingdom and Qingqiu could unite.
After a long silence, Emperor Jing glanced at the contents of the box, frowned, sighed, and said:
"Niao Niao, you have been in poor health since you were a child. As a daughter, you don't have to get involved in these things. My father and your thirteenth brother are still here..."
"Father," Xin Yi was a little unhappy. I understand his sigh, but as a modern person, how can she endure other people's discrimination against women, "Since my daughter is the princess of Jingguo, she should be concerned about the safety of the country. What does it have to do with her daughter and her son? Father, now Evidence of collusion between Qingqiu and Yue Kingdom It's true, what do you decide to do next?"
Emperor Jing looked sullen: "Everyone has said that you don't have to worry about it. The collusion between the two countries is a big deal, just because of your three-legged cat. Do you dare to show off your kung fu? Okay, go back!"
As he said that, the palace officials on both sides came to pull him. Lu Xinyi didn't understand. His father was obviously most afraid of collusion between hostile forces, but why he ignored his own evidence now. Don’t ask?
She stepped forward and pushed away the palace man, saying: "Father! I have a plan to break up the collusion between the two countries."
As she said that, she took out the plan she had written all night from her waist. Originally, she just wanted to protect herself and make her father suspicious of Nasen, but when she got used to the prosperity of Jingcheng these days, she couldn't help but fall in love with it completely. Got into this city.
Even Liu Zhang can sacrifice his life for the sake of the common people in the world. How can she only enjoy the fine clothes, food, wealth and wealth that this position brings to her.
She unfolded the drawings, and without waiting for Emperor Jing's consent, she began to recite her plan eloquently.
"Father, what Qingqiu wants is nothing more than profit. What the Moon Kingdom wants is nothing more than territory. But there is no territory. Where can the benefits come from? Therefore, we can unite Qingqiu first and use Qingqiu's Spear, to attack the Moon Kingdom's shield... "
"Princess, what a good plan!" Before he finished speaking, a charming woman slowly walked out from behind the curtain. That person was the emperor's favorite concubine who had been in power for many years, Prince Yi's biological sister, Liu Zhang. His aunt, Luo Fei.
Xin Yi looked at her in disbelief. He had nothing to do with Luo Fei in the past. He only knew that Luo Fei had nothing to do. Why did his father ask her to listen to his two discussions behind the curtain today?
I saw Luo Fei walk up to Emperor Jing, climb up on Emperor Jing's arm, lightly raised her lips and said:
"Your Majesty, I told you earlier, this Xinyi and The prince of the Moon Kingdom is not clear about it, you see! Now she is not willing to use your hand to promote her own wealth."
What?
Lu Xinyi couldn't believe her ears. She saw Luofen's face full of pride, but looking at her with a bit of contempt. Emperor Jing put the golden nanmu box aside and looked at Xinyi with a tone of voice. There is an irresistible majesty in it:
"Tell me the truth, where have you been these past few days, and who have you been with?"
Father is here, Xin Yi had to bow, she glanced at Luo Fei, knelt down slowly, and answered truthfully :
“In a restaurant in the city, with...Song, Xiao Cong and the others.”< br>
"You are talking nonsense! You are under the feet of the Emperor, it is dark under the lamp, how can you be so arrogant?" Luo Fei said angrily, "Obviously someone has seen you and the Prince of the Moon Kingdom eating and sitting together several times, inseparable, yet you still Dare to lie!”
“I...”
Emperor Jing was already a little impatient. He glanced at Concubine Luo as a warning, and asked Xin Yi: "Is this really so?"
"Father," Lu Xinyi said hurriedly, "My son and the Moon Kingdom The prince came close just to find out about the collusion between Yue Guo and Qingqiu.”
< br> "How do you, a daughter of a boudoir, know the national secrets of Qingqiu of the Yue Kingdom?" Luo Fei asked while secretly glancing at Emperor Jing. Seeing that Emperor Jing also acquiesced to her question, she emboldened herself, "What's more, we are with The language of Yue Kingdom is not the same. You can speak Yue Mandarin. How can we "You never knew? There has never been a wife in the palace who speaks the language of the Moon Country. How do you explain this?" "I..." Lu Xinyi didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway, but she did know these things. There was no way to explain it, but Concubine Luo gained the upper hand, knelt down in front of Emperor Jing, and said with tears in her eyes:
"Your Majesty, since the princess woke up, I often knelt in the Ancestral Temple to pray for you and the princess. But that day, I happened to pass by the Book of Heaven, and I read it devoutly, and found that that day The part about the princess in the book seems to have been touched by someone!”
After saying that, Emperor Jing couldn't help but become nervous. He looked Luo Fei up and down: "Tell me, what content has been changed, and what do you mean?"
Xin Yi said in his heart, my life is at stake. That’s it! She unconsciously looked at the real dragon pillars around her, the pearl-votting dragon hovering on the golden dragon chair, and the plaque above, all showing the majesty of the imperial power that cannot be violated or desecrated.
Na Luo Fei knelt down and sat up straight, and said: "The Book of Heaven says that the princess lacked a spirit when she was young, and she would make up for it when she became an adult. However, her temperament changed drastically because of this, and she lost most of her childhood memories. But Your Majesty, what should happen if someone with intentions takes advantage of this loophole and pretends to be a princess? "
Emperor Jing's eyes changed slightly, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists. Her face remained unchanged: "Slandering the royal family is a capital crime, Luo Fei, even if she is related to King Yi, she is not exempt."
Luo Fei knelt on the ground, her forehead close to the ground: "I am just guessing, Jun A person's personality can change drastically, and his memory can be lost, but how can a person who doesn't know a certain skill learn it out of thin air? "
Emperor Jing looked at Xin Yi, but after waiting for a long time, Xin Yi could not think of a good explanation. She was indeed not the real Princess Xin Yi. Therefore, after struggling for a long time, he had to kneel down and say:
"Father, my son Whether I am a true princess or not, I will be pure myself, but every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Please carefully review the correspondence between the Yue Kingdom and the Qingqiu clan in case of emergency."
"I am willing to exchange the injustice of one person for the justice of the world!"
The next day, the princess's mansion declined any visitors, and Huazhu and Hualu stood at the door, not daring to speak.
Emperor Jing ordered that the princess was not allowed to step out of the princess mansion, and no one was allowed to visit her until the identity of the princess could be found out.
Lu Xinyi was rarely free. She cooked tea, illustrated, renovated the inside and outside of the princess's mansion, and took advantage of the weather getting warmer to dig up the frozen soil.
"Next spring, plant a lot of vegetables and fruits here, so that we can eat food grown at home!"
Xiao Cong followed her, but After a while, Huazhu Hualu came to report, and the three of them exchanged glances. Huazhu Hualu still shook his head.
“Still haven’t found the consort?” Lu Xinyi had already seen their little thoughts.
Xiao Cong took a step forward: "Princess, I told you a long time ago that Tu Shansong is not a good person. He didn't hurt you, so I am grateful to him. I guess he also heard about your identity by now. Rumors, they should have gone back to Qingqiu to enjoy their happiness!”
Lu Xinyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, this time he will probably be a eunuch again. Editor-in-Chief, it’s really not that I don’t work hard. My IQ is limited and the start is too difficult. I can’t break it!
However, when a person is about to die, his words are good, Lu Xinyi smiled: "It's good, he goes back to the place that should belong to him, and I can also go back to the place that should belong to me. "
Xiao Cong said angrily: "You belong to this princess's house, where are you going? Let me see, you are the truest princess in my heart! Your injustice is only temporary! "
Hualu: "Yes, princess, I see, then Concubine Luo must be angry that you didn't marry her nephew, and is deliberately trying to stumbling upon you here!"
Xin Yi stood up straight, thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "Liu Zhang is not such a person. If he is angry, he must have said it to his face. Why bother to pretend to be a woman?"
From morning to night, Lu Xinyi sat in front of the door for a whole day. The brazier was moved from outside the door to the house. The sky without snow seemed even more lifeless. Night came very quickly. Under the urging of Huazhu, she finally Deciding not to wait any longer, he went back to his room, put on his clothes and went to bed.
It turns out that the fate between people is sometimes so weak.
