After a series of chaos, this year's Dynasty ended with a tragedy. No one in the whole country dared to celebrate the coming new year.
Princess Yuyang committed suicide.
No one knows why Princess Yuyang chose to cut her wrists because the crime of poisoning Princess Chen huifei and planting the blame on Princess Qingxiang was exposed, and she did not dare to face the reality and bear the punishment? Or is it because Princess Qingxiang hates her husband to the extreme but has no ability to revenge, so she feels desperate and chooses to die?
Yuyang princess did not leave a word, so she chose the reason for death, and her dead bones were buried in the ground forever.
That day, Zhao Xing and Zhou Qingzi confessed their crime in front of hard evidence, and pointed out that Princess Yuyang was behind the scenes. In addition, Princess Chen huifei suddenly fell ill after drinking a bowl of tea in Princess Yuyang palace, so all the clues point to Princess Yuyang. The Empress Dowager Jiang immediately took the crowd to the princess Yuyang palace. Standing in the courtyard looking at the dead tree, the stunned Princess Yuyang confessed her crime. She didn't swear at Bu Qingyi, and she didn't show the crankiness and paranoia before. She even took the initiative to escort down to Dali temple.
In the prison, Princess Yuyang was found dead in the early morning of the next day.
She is a noble and inviolable princess. No one dares to search her body before she goes to prison. No one thought that she hid a short and capable dagger on her body, and left more than ten deep and shallow wounds on her wrist and neck with this dagger. She died in the cold night of no one's attention due to excessive blood loss.
No one thinks that Princess Yuyang was killed by others. When she died, she had a gentle smile on her face, and two tears from the corner of her eyes washed away the powder on her cheek, leaving a clear mark.
"She's finally reunited with the man she loves, which is perhaps her biggest expectation. All kinds of love and hate arise and end with love. It's just a pity that ye Jia was also a gentle and kind girl, but she went astray for a man who didn't deserve her so much, and never came back. "
Outside the jingling palace, on the road that has not been cleaned after the snow, Lu Jingyi, who is rarely dressed in black, stands with his hand in the back. When he sighs, his expression is a little lonely.
To be fair, his relationship with Princess Yuyang is not bad. Now that he is gone, though the trouble between Princess Yuyang and bu Qingyi is gone, I can think of a close relative who has been separated from Yin and Yang forever. In the end, his grief is more than everything.
"Anyway, it's finally over." Bu Qingyi is two steps away from Lu Jingyi. She also looks at the snow covered path ahead, but her expression is relaxed. "By the way, I have applied to the academy to leave the palace these days. Life here is not my appetite."
Lu Jingyi smiles and slightly recovers his former Shuxuan Junlang: "the second reason is that you don't have what you want. But it's OK. I can rest assured if you leave the palace. There are too many rules here. I'm afraid you'll cause more trouble. "
When Bu Qingyi looked at his smile, he always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that his smile was not as relaxed and natural as it used to be. Instead, it seemed that there were a few Coptis in his stomach, with a faint bitter taste.
"Have you had any trouble lately?" I didn't want to show my concern for Lu Jingyi, but bu Qingyi couldn't bear to let him go. He had to scold himself for being useless and ask anxiously.
The smile froze on Lu Jingyi's face for a moment, and soon returned to normal: "nothing, I'm fine. It's more appropriate to say it's a good thing than a trouble. It's just
Good?
Bu Qingyi's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of something: "it's not because of the saint's comments on you, is it?"
"What? Even you've heard? " Lu Jingyi's smile was more bitter, and his slightly frowned brows seemed to be twined with wisps of sighs, "since even you know, then you should understand why I am distressed. I can't see whether it's a blessing or a curse now. "
Two days ago, the emperor met Lu Jingyi and praised him a lot. It was revealed that he intended to change the crown prince to be the crown prince.
At first glance, this is a great good news for Lu Jingyi. After careful consideration, it is found that what father and son talked about in private is widely known, which is a bit terrible. If everyone knows that the emperor wants to depose the Grand Prince and make Lu Jingyi the Grand Prince, how can those princes who have the idea of fighting for power and position be indifferent?
Some people have been secretly manipulating Lu Jingyi before. When the news gets out, I'm afraid that the conspiracy against him will intensify.
A low, feeble sigh hides Lu Jing's endless melancholy. When Lu Jingyi lowered his head, bu Qingyi vaguely saw a white hair on his temples, which was so conspicuous and dazzling.
Without his status as a prince, he would have been a carefree young man from a rich family. He could be as straightforward as Bai yuelang, or as firm and persistent as Lei Yunwei for the people or things he likes. It's better than now. The big things of sesame and mung bean should be analyzed like peeling garlic. I'm afraid that there is a mistake that will lead to all losses.The emperor's son, even a chess piece can't afford to lose. Once he loses, he may have to take on countless lives.
"Well, let's talk about you instead of my bad thoughts." Lu Jingyi raised his head, bright eyes reflected Bu Qingyi's plain face, pestering Rourou with a smile. "I heard that the Empress Dowager is very fond of you. She always leaves you in the Longevity Palace these two days, and she has to talk to you until the middle of the night. What's the matter? Are you closing up? "
Mentioning empress dowager Jiang, bu Qingyi suddenly looked bitter: "your grandmother is too abrasive. She keeps pestering me to tell her stories about the world. It's like a three-year-old. My voice is almost smoking these two days!"
Lu Jingyi was stunned by the nickname of "your grandmother". After a long time, he managed to hold back his smile and said, "with your character, if you feel impatient, you can be a good boss and walk away. What's the reason for you to stay? I always feel that there seems to be a little secret between you and the Empress Dowager. "
"Yes, there is a secret, a little secret between women." Bu Qingyi brought the topic to the content that Lu Jingyi would never ask. Then she put out her hand and turned her lips. "Your grandmother also said that the female officials in the palace were not in her mind. She planned to get an official for me to stay in the palace for a long time."
"If only that were true, I could see you every day. But you won't, will you? " Lu Jingyi knew that this kind of words would arouse Bu Qingyi's antipathy. Before her face refuted, he laughed bitterly and said to himself, "after that, your ears will be quiet, and you won't hear my boring words any more."
"What do you mean? What do I think is wrong with you? " Bu Qingyi stares at him closely, as if trying to find some clues from his expression.
Lu Jingyi has a short silence. When he opens his mouth again, his eyes are clear and clear, and there is a layer of haze for no reason.
"Do you remember the princess Nanming who came to marry Xiping? Because I didn't take good care of her last time, Nanming messenger was very dissatisfied and soon returned to Nanming with the princess. I thought the marriage was just like this, but I didn't expect that the emperor was still thinking about it. A few days ago, he mentioned it to me and said that he had reached an agreement with Nanming. This time, I will pick up the princess myself. "
Bu Qingyi immediately understood the reason why Lu Jingyi was so depressed.
The emperor had planned to marry Lu Jingyi to Princess Nanming for a long time, but for various reasons, the marriage failed to take place last time. However, after drinking, the Minister of rites once mentioned that the princess Nanming was very satisfied with Lu Jingyi and clearly expressed his wish to complete the marriage. Now the emperor rebuilt the road of marriage between the two countries, presumably to make Lu Jingyi and the princess Nanming marry smoothly.
But there is one thing Bu Qingyi doesn't understand. Suppose that the emperor intentionally spread the news that he intends to change Lu Jingyi to the crown prince, which shows that he wants Lu Jingyi to be the target of public criticism. His real purpose is not to change the crown prince, at least not to make Lu Jingyi the new crown prince. In this way, it's unnecessary to think of another way to make Lu Jingyi and Nanming marry?
Or does he regard Lu Jingyi as a chess piece all the time, and make preparations early. No matter Lu Jingyi becomes a victim in the fight for power or a winner, he has corresponding countermeasures to obtain the maximum benefits?
It's not only glory, but more important to strengthen the power in the hands and let the imperial power play its maximum power.
This is Lu Zhaohui's understanding.
Since he became the emperor of the Communist Party of China, he admitted that every move was to make himself the greatest Xiping emperor, even if some means were not so aboveboard, and some innocent people were sacrificed in the process, which was necessary for the final result.
Naturally, the stumbling blocks must be removed.
"Bu Qingyi's reaction is as usual. I'm afraid the twenty boxes of gunpowder I gave you didn't kill Mo GUI at all?"
In the dead back garden, the emperor stood with his hands down and turned his back to Pei Zan's figure. Pei Zan bowed his head humbly as usual, and his voice was very low: "recently, Mogui has not appeared. It's hard to say whether he was killed by the explosion. But that step of green clothes is a hard-working person. Even if Mo GUI dies, she may not be too sad. I'm afraid it's not feasible to attack her with Mo GUI. "
"This can't do, that can't do, you a grand princess, still hold the power that I give you, but can't even deal with a small step green clothes?" The emperor snorted coldly. He slightly turned his head and looked at Pei Zan contemptuously. "I'm giving you one last chance. If you can't get rid of Bu Qingyi this time, then try to take off your head and send it to me."
