Chapter 151 Proud and Self-Reliant
The emperor grabbed Princess Wanning by the throat. The veins next to her temples popped out. She tried her best to open her eyes but to no avail. She was dying but still wanted to stare. emperor.
Princess Wanning hated the emperor. In fact, she knew everything the emperor had done, but she didn't believe it before, but now she believes it.
Over the years, she has also been investigating the death of the young master of the Ministry of Etiquette in her princess mansion. She asked herself, that young master did not die at her hands.
It would not be the faces of her subordinates who were killed. She knew the virtues of her subordinates. If they were the kind of people who could easily kill people, she would not recruit them into the princess' mansion. .
But the person died in her princess's mansion after all. Even if she told the truth, no one would believe that she was not the one who killed him.
People always like to see the results. They often don’t care about the process, and they don’t have the energy to take care of the process. Things have nothing to do with them, so why should they bother to study it in detail and make them embarrassed?
Princess Wanning knew this, so she didn’t argue too much. She silently took the blame, but she will not carry the blame forever. As long as she lives for one day, she will go Check the reason.
At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne, and his prestige was not enough. There were powerful ministers inside who were trying to encroach on power, and there were Rongdi and Di trying to infringe upon it outside.
The emperor asked her to go to Hezhou on the pretext of taking the overall situation first. Wan Ning still cared about the relationship between brother and sister at that time. Moreover, the emperor also promised her that in two years, when the situation in Kyoto City was settled, he would let her go back. .
But since she went to Hezhou, the emperor never asked her again, as if he had forgotten her. Wan Ning thought about those things carefully. She asked someone to investigate, and they found out that the young master of the Ministry of Etiquette appeared before his death. where.
Who did you meet before you died?
The young master met the people in the palace before his death. After Princess Wanning knew the news, she began to guess whether all this was the Queen Mother's method.
After all, the Queen Mother has looked down on her for many years. In addition to that incident, the Queen Mother must have wanted to find a corner where no one knew about and kill her.
Until she returned to Kyoto City, Wan Ning had no doubt that the person who framed her was the emperor.
"Li Li Xiuhuai, you deserve to die."
Princess Wanning squeezed out a few words from her throat. This was what she wanted to say to the emperor the most. Since she knew, it was the young lady of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Etiquette. After Li Xiuhuai killed the young master, her heart became cold.
She didn’t understand why the emperor did this, and she didn’t understand why the emperor would blame her since he killed someone. He was the emperor, and he didn’t want anyone to die. A matter of moving your fingers?
Why go through such a big detour, kill the person and secretly hide it in her house. Finally, someone came to check and found it all at once.
Many nights later, Princess Wanning would be awakened by nightmares. She sat on the bed, puzzled, but when she was awakened by nightmares one after another, she still figured it out.
The emperor didn't want to kill anyone, or it didn't matter who died, it didn't matter who died.
This person must have an identity and be related to her. Finally, after his death, his body must be in her princess mansion.
The emperor could not tolerate her anymore. He wanted to put her to death, but he also announced her to the palace and pretended to tell her that he wanted her to focus on the overall situation and take the blame. She will be brought back in the future.
Princess Wanning recalled that on her way from Kyoto City to Hezhou, she encountered dozens of assassinations during the ten-day journey, and almost all the useful people around her died.
When she finally arrived in Hezhou, there were only two people she could trust except herself.
At that time, she thought it was a group of killers hired by the Minister of Rites who wanted to kill her, but her life was not worth hiring so many killers.
Is her life so valuable?
Wan Ning was also surprised at the time. How could a minister of rites get so much money and strength? He was probably greedy! But now that I think about it, the Minister of Rites was also part of the emperor's scheme. They were all pawns in the emperor's scheme, and no one could escape.
When Li Xiuhuai heard what Princess Wanning said, his eyes were cold and he loosened his grip on Princess Wanning's neck. He didn't really want to strangle her to death. .
The released Princess Wanning was thrown to the ground with a bang, and she was lying in front of the emperor. Her dying appearance was unbearable to look at.
If the emperor had let go just one second later, Princess Wanning would have gone to hell by now, but he did not let Princess Wanning go to hell.
"Since you think I deserve to die, then I will keep your life until you come to take my life."
"But I will no longer protect you."
“You should know how many people in Kyoto want to kill you.”
As the emperor spoke, the expression on his face changed from indifferent to fierce, like a demon from hell. His whole body exuded darkness and cold-bloodedness. He had always been such a person.
When Wan Ning heard the emperor's words, she moved slowly while she was dying. She supported the ground with her trembling hands. She turned around and could barely bend over and kneel on the ground. She only had one left The tone is gone.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me.”
“Wanning, you must remember your Majesty’s teachings!”
Princess Wanning took a deep breath. , gritted her teeth and reluctantly spoke out what was in her heart. Even to this extent, she had not forgotten the etiquette that the royal family cared about.
Wan Ning knew that the emperor didn't want to kill her, but he didn't want to dirty his hands. If he wanted someone else to kill her, anyone could.
Wan Ning held her breath in her heart. She knew that she could survive, and she already had a plan to survive. As long as the emperor did not kill her with his own hands today, she would definitely end this with her own hands someday. The life of an indifferent emperor.
When the emperor heard what Princess Wanning said, he looked at Wanning coldly, with disdain on his face, and said coldly: "Take care of yourself."
The emperor left these words. Finally, she left the room without looking back. Princess Wanning raised her chin as hard as she could and looked at the emperor's back with her blurred eyes.
One day, she will definitely make him regret the decision he made today!
When the emperor walked to the entrance of the courtyard, he saw Li Qun standing outside the door. He stopped and his expression changed greatly. When he looked at Li Qun, he said, "She is nothing anymore."
"If your brother doesn't want her, you can handle it yourself."
"One day, if Li Cheng has a sweetheart, I can grant him a marriage."
The emperor explained to Li Qun, his voice was a little soft, and if others heard it, they would definitely be moved.
But Li Qun did not reply. Li Qun nodded silently and responded: "Wei Chen understands."
Since the emperor married Cui Xiu, Li Qun has treated the emperor as a minister, and the emperor has treated Li Qun as a king. The brotherhood between the two of them has long since disappeared.
