Chapter 346

Eunuch He hurried forward, brought the tea bowl to his hand, and muttered worriedly:
"Your Majesty... why do you need to be so anxious about Princess Huaizhen's matter. How many important national affairs depend on your majesty, your majesty has to relax and take care of your health."

The old emperor pushed away the teacup in his hand, coughed again while covering his handkerchief, sighed and said:

"If you don't take care of yourself, that's it. The only thing I'm gratified about now is that Shi Yu Fuli died in front of me... The current emperor in the north is not doing well, and he can't take care of himself in his own country. Can't make it."

Eunuch He looked sad and comforted him: "Your Majesty... your illness will definitely recover."

The old emperor of the Song Dynasty did not speak, his eyelids drooped, his will was depressed for a while, and he slapped the armrest angrily, saying:

"That Ma Shuo is really nothing!"

Eunuch He rolled his eyes, and asked cautiously: "Then Your Majesty...how do you plan to deal with it?"

"Punishment of the duke's mansion for two years, and Ma Shuo thrown into prison for a month!" The emperor finished speaking decisively, then squinted his eyes and paused, "This is really an incense to take care of the old man, but no matter how young I am, In five years, I will definitely kill him!"

Eunuch He didn't say anything, just waited silently for a while, and seeing that the emperor had nothing to say, he said:
"Then... this old slave is going to deliver the decree to Duke Ma."

The old emperor who was in deep thought came to his senses, coughed violently a few more times, and then rolled up the handkerchief he was covering.

He looked at the void, his eyes narrowed into slits, as if he was concentrating on something in the mist, and then he let out a weak breath and said:
"Go, let them go out of the palace as soon as the order is finished, I don't want to see them. Also, go and invite Duke Shen."

Eunuch He's eyelids trembled almost imperceptibly, he said "yes", and bowed his body to leave.

……

On the road leading to the palace gate.

Although Princess Huaizhen had obvious slap marks on her face, half of her fair face was red in embarrassment.

But she still carried the dignified and proud aura of the princess, and walked in the front with her head held high.

And from time to time, she would openly meet those curious eyes with menacing eyes.

It seems that as long as she is like this, her embarrassment can become a kind of commonplace, and even a kind of honor.

Xie Yuan silently followed behind her, looking at Princess Huaizhen's back, suddenly felt desolate and sad.

She also thought of Ma Shuo's smug face at that time, as if Princess Huaizhen had done sex with him, and it became a decoration, an object for him.

Even if she is a princess or the emperor's daughter, she is still a man's accessory, a trophy.

The identity of the princess and her beauty are just adding many precious and exquisite labels to this trophy, and there is no difference in essence.

While Xie Yuan was walking, there was a look of pain and unwillingness in his eyes.

She finally turned her eyes to the side, looking at the unimportant scenery around her, and never wanted to look at Princess Huaizhen's back.

Because at this time, she felt that in the luxuriously dressed and proud princess, the unique sadness of a woman's identity was more obvious and deeper.

Especially Princess Huaizhen's proud look was even more uncomfortable.

Xie Yuan began to hate the fact that he was a woman again, and hated the relationship between men and women.I hate these worldly visions and rules in the world.

Princess Huaizhen stopped suddenly, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xie Yuan looking aside, with a heroic and pretty side face, frowning in the sun, with a look of enduring pain.

Xie Yuan turned his face away, seeing Princess Huaizhen looking at her, he also stopped, and stood with his hands behind his back.

She was wearing a purple military officer's court uniform, and the two hat straps on her crown fluttered gently in the breeze.The tall and straight figure is like a jade tree facing the wind.

Princess Huaizhen felt that her eyes and heart were stung by Xie Yuan like this.

Against the light, she squinted her eyes and asked:

"Why did you beat Ma Shuo?... beat him half to death?" The voice was delicate and cautious, not knowing what to expect.

Xie Yuan shifted his eyes to the side again, frowned and didn't look at her, and with that look of suffering and forbearance, he said coldly:
"He deserves a beating."

Princess Huaizhen looked at Xie Yuan, her ruddy lips trembled twice, tears began to fall down, and said:

"You are always so nice, how can I wake up... If I don't have this dream, what's the point of living?"

When Xie Yuan heard about it, Danfeng looked at her helplessly, and felt pity again.

She didn't know what to say, so she could only keep silent.

At this moment, Princess Huaizhen saw someone approaching from a distance, she quickly wiped off the tears on her face, pretending that nothing happened, and prepared to leave.

But she turned around halfway just now, as if she suddenly remembered something, she suddenly turned her head again, her eyes staring directly at Xie Yuan's back, bursting out with resentful anger.

Xie Yuan followed her gaze and turned his head to look, only to see a dark-skinned, third-rank official in the distance.There were a few young eunuchs beside him carrying a stretcher, and a person was lying on the stretcher, and hurriedly came here along the palace road.

The official had been very considerately covering the people on the stretcher with quilts, his expression was painful and anxious, and he was walking so fast that he didn't see them at all.

Princess Huaizhen bypassed Xie Yuan, took another two steps forward, and stood there waiting for someone to come, as if to settle accounts.

Although Xie Yuan didn't know the official, but looking at Princess Huaizhen's appearance, there was something he didn't understand.

It is estimated that this dark-skinned old official is Ma Guogong.

And the one lying on the stretcher with only the top of his head exposed must be his only son, Ma Shuo.

"Did you really beat him half to death?" Princess Huaizhen suddenly asked softly.

Xie Yuan looked at the stretcher, narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold tone:
"There shouldn't be a bone injury. The new injury and the old injury are enough for him to hurt for a month."

Princess Huaizhen raised her chin haughtily after hearing this, as if she already had some plans.

Ma Guogong, who followed the stretcher all the way, saw Xie Yuan and Princess Huaizhen.

He stopped suddenly, stopped the stretcher, and just looked at the two of them from a distance, and suddenly waved his hands, wanting someone to carry Ma Shuo back.

Princess Huaizhen sneered twice, her voice was wild and sinister, lingering on the tall palace wall, only to hear her yelling in a strange way:
"Ma Guogong, this is the inner garden of the imperial palace, not your home. Why are you carrying your son around?"

Hearing this, Ma Guogong hesitated for a while when he turned his feet, then he turned back bravely, lowered his head and told Ma Shuo who was on the stretcher, and continued walking this way.
