[Isn't this more interesting than some TV dramas where they kiss each other till death? ]
[Love makes people's hearts beat~~~]
[Tsk tsk tsk, this little look is really seductive~]
However, Lu Shenyuan only dared to be so presumptuous because Prime Minister Shi was away. If Prime Minister Shi was in the mansion, he would definitely abide by the rules and regulations and would not dare to act recklessly.
After all, he is your Taishan, and you can offend no one but him.
Princess Chaoxia urged the coachman to gallop all the way, not caring about scaring the people on the road, and even knocked down a roadside vendor, just to get to the palace as soon as possible.
According to the relationship between the two, Princess Chaoxia was considered the emperor's niece. When she was about to enter the palace to meet the emperor, the guards and eunuchs immediately stood ready and respectfully led the way for her.
The emperor had just come off the stage and had just reached a consensus with his ministers. Now that they had a strong army and horses, if the Yu tribe dared to act like this, he would give them a warning they would never forget, and also let the barbarians in other parts of the country know that they could either surrender or die.
As soon as I finished my court session, I heard that Princess Chaoxia wanted to see me.
The emperor thought that she was frightened by what happened in the past two days. But for the sake of the orphaned princess and her husband, he felt a little pity for Princess Chaoxia. He immediately asked someone to invite her in and generously gave her a seat.
Princess Chaoxia walked in with her skirt lifted up. Instead of sitting down, she knelt down in front of the emperor and began to cry bitterly.
"Chaoxia, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself." The emperor looked at her crying so sadly, sighed secretly, and comforted her with words.
Who knew that the next moment Princess Chaoxia raised her tearful face and said the most tiring words.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhong is innocent! He is the most loyal and honest minister. How could he be imprisoned in the Dali Temple under such false accusations? Please issue an order to release him!"
The emperor's expression of pity and distress froze on his face, and he looked at Princess Chaoxia as if he didn't know her.
"I didn't hear you clearly. What did you say?" This was the last chance he gave to Princess Chaoxia.
But she ignored him and cried even harder.
"Your Majesty, you can't let others' hearts be chilled because of the Prime Minister! Lord Zhong has been wronged!"
The emperor was silent.
After a long time, Princess Chaoxia cried until she was out of breath. Seeing that the emperor had been ignoring her, she raised her head and looked over hesitantly.
I was startled by the coldness on the emperor's face.
"You remind me of your mother." This time the emperor's voice no longer had any pity.
At the beginning, Princess Chaoxia's mother was willing to die for a man. Even though the man was already married, she still forced him to marry her, resulting in one death and one injury to a happy couple.
Later, the matter became too big, and she became afraid, so she hurriedly married Princess Chaoxia's father. Unexpectedly, Princess Chaoxia perfectly inherited her brain that could not distinguish right from wrong.
"You asked me not to disappoint others? Do you know the Prime Minister's contribution to the country over the years? And the grace he has given me for saving my life?"
The emperor could have said nothing, but looking at Princess Chaoxia's confused look, he wanted to make her understand.
"In the fifth year of my reign, the plague was rampant in the south and there was no one available. The prime minister volunteered and almost lost his life in the epidemic area."
"In the eighth year, Long County rebelled and wanted to restore the old dynasty. The then Prime Minister went alone to negotiate. He saved my reputation and persuaded the rebels to surrender."
"During the ten years of hunting, I encountered an assassination attempt, and it was Prime Minister Shi who stood in front of me. The knife that was supposed to stab me pierced his heart, and it took him two full months to survive."
"Now, his only daughter has been plotted against. Whose heart do you want me to disappoint?"
Princess Chaoxia's expression changed from disdain at first, to avoidance, and finally she lowered her head, but she refused to give up.
"Even so, we shouldn't wrongly accuse Master Zhong just to appease him."
"Whether Zhong Shanlang was wrongly accused or not, the Dali Temple will find out. It is you who has a preconceived notion that he was wrongly accused."
The emperor said enough was enough and was too lazy to explain to her anymore, so he just raised his hand.
"Someone, escort Princess Zhaoxia out of the palace." After saying that, he lowered his head and glanced at her, "From now on, you should not enter the palace again."
Originally, Princess Chaoxia's mother had died, and the emperor had forgotten what happened back then. But now, because of what she had done, the emperor remembered it again.
Pity disappeared, and only disgust remained.
No matter how stupid Princess Chaoxia was, she understood what the emperor meant. She was so scared that she knelt down and kowtowed, but it was too late.
