Chapter 402
The queen is dead,
The prince's biological mother passed away.
Uncle Qi returned his sword to its scabbard.
Anyone who is not stupid can understand what the death of the queen means, and it means that the prince will not be able to get married again in the near future.
"Over and over again," Ji Chengjue said slowly: "First, Wangjiang was defeated, the left army of the Eastern Expedition Army was almost wiped out, and Wangjiang was filled with corpses;
Next, at the foot of Yupan City, Marquis Jingnan slaughtered [-] Chu soldiers in one fell swoop, filling the field with fierce ferocity;
Now, the queen has passed away again.
The wedding was about to take place three times, but failed three times, and each time it was accompanied by bloody disasters.
Uncle Qi,
at the moment,
This is not a matter of postponement of the marriage again. Although the wedding must be postponed due to the Queen's death, do you still dare to get married?
Although I, the Yan people, do not respect Dao Xuan like the Gan people and like to talk about gods and gods, I have done it three times. It has been three times.
The prince is the foundation of the country, and the prince's wedding is related to the fate of the country and the country.
You say this is not God's will, so what is it?
Qin Tianjian,
Secret Service,
Minister of the court,
The common people are in Guizhou,
Everyone will see it that way.
This marriage cannot be accomplished. "
The people of Yan like to fight bravely, and would rather polish their sabers than worship ghosts and gods. However, this matter can hardly be described as a coincidence.
If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing you can do.
Because who can guarantee that there won't be any disasters the next time you get married?
And since this marriage cannot be consummated, the princess will not marry the prince, and will not become the prince's concubine.
Therefore, the relationship between the Princess and His Highness is not life-and-death.
The princess is still the princess,
His Highness the Sixth is still His Highness the Sixth,
After there is no fundamental conflict of interest,
When they met again, they could still talk and laugh happily, like a pair of extremely close siblings.
Uncle Qi obviously understood this truth, so he put away his sword.
There is no need to kill people.
Because the person who wants to be killed is not a cat or a dog, but the current prince.
Without absolute fundamental interests, paying such a heavy price to kill a prince is not just uneconomical, but also stupid.
"Your Highness Sixth..."
Ji Chengjue raised his hand, interrupted Uncle Qi's words, and said:
"I won't tell anyone what happened today, because I am actually more afraid that this will spread than you are."
Someone is coming to kill you,
You ask people to wait,
Wait until dawn,
Then the morning light appeared,
Eight bells ring,
The queen passed away.
If this matter spreads, not only the princess will be unlucky, but Ji Chengjue may be even more unlucky.
"Okay." Uncle Qi agreed.
Ji Chengjue smiled, then reached out and rubbed his face.
"Your Highness, what is the end of this matter..."
Ji Chengjue's eyes suddenly focused.
Road:
"Don't ask, it's good for you and me."
"Yes, I understand."
After the life-and-death crisis was no longer hanging over his head, Ji Chengjue began to become more relaxed. He said bluntly:
"Go back and tell my good sister not to be so impulsive when doing things next time. Uncle Qi, you and Brother Liangshen should also try to persuade her."
Uncle Qi said: "Actually, I feel a little regretful."
"It's a pity that I couldn't take down this sword?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I regret that now it seems that if that trick is used on you, Your Highness, it will not be considered a regret."
"My third brother and I are different." Ji Chengjue said.
"Your Highness?"
"I am different from the third child!" Ji Chengjue slapped the table hard and almost growled: "I am much more useful than the third child."
"Your Highness is still concerned."
"Uncle Qi, you just stand and talk without pain in your back. If someone held a sword against your neck for a whole night, how could you not take it to heart at all?
Besides, cough cough......"
Ji Chengjue coughed, then waved his hands and said:
"The palace should send someone to announce it, and I need to make some preparations here. I have to enter the palace later, so I won't send Uncle Qi away. I told the imperial guards outside that we drank too late last night. Are you here? I slept here."
"Take care, Your Highness."
Uncle Qi is gone,
The sword hanging above Ji Chengjue's head was gone.
Ji Chengjue seemed to have been drained of all his strength. It was also because he stayed up all night and was worried and thinking. His energy and energy had been drained out. Previously, he could continue to hold on because Uncle Qi was still there. Now Uncle Qi is here. After leaving, exhaustion, emptiness and the unerasable sense of grievance began to come over me like a tide.
And then,
The eunuch Xuanzhao hurriedly entered the prince's residence and informed the three princes living in the prince's residence to enter the palace immediately.
Everyone had heard Li Zhong's movement, so the people in the house quickly prepared their mourning clothes.
The fourth child is still tall and strong, but his beard is obviously unshaven. It is obvious that he has been a little depressed recently.
The fifth child is not tall, and among the brothers, he is considered the richer one, but now, his eyes are a little red.
The fourth child walked over and whispered:
"Give me a piece."
"But it's very spicy." Lao Wu reminded.
"Give it to me quickly."
Lao Wu nodded and handed a piece of ginger to Lao Si.
Laosi waved his sleeves and wiped his eyes with peeled ginger. Soon, his eyes began to turn red.
There was really no choice. It was the queen who passed away. Although the queen was nominally their mother, there was no blood relationship after all.
According to the prince's teachings, it is possible to cry, but he is too lazy to forcefully get on the horse at this time, so it is more direct and effective to use external objects.
"Fourth brother, brother, I still have some sour plums here. Would you like some too?"
"You think there's not enough ginger?"
"I'm afraid that I will see the prince's brother when I enter the palace later. I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold back my laughter when I think about his failure to get married."
"puff……"
The fourth prince who had just applied ginger almost laughed out loud.
But there are servants around now.
The fourth prince immediately continued:
"Mother-in-law, why don't you wait for your son to take one last look at you?"
Lao Wu secretly tugged at the corner of Lao Si's clothes and said:
"It's passed, brother, it's been passed, brother."
at this time,
The fourth and fifth sons stood at the door of the prince's residence.
Seeing Lao Liu being helped out by two eunuchs,
I saw Lao Liu at this time,
Looking sad,
listless,
eyes tired,
There are faint traces of tears on his face,
Even walking has become difficult, which is the best interpretation of grief being greater than death.
Lao Si and Lao Wu swallowed almost at the same time.
Road:
"This is too exaggerated."
……
The Queen passed away, Your Majesty will come to court this morning.
The palace was packed with snow. At the same time, even though they did not have to go to court today, the courtiers still came one by one to express their condolences.
All the royal family members in the capital also entered through another palace gate, and the cries along this way were the most obvious and clear.
The princes entered the inner hall early,
The prince had already knelt there and cried loudly.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, why do you leave your children and ministers alone like this? Queen Mother, Queen Mother, wake up, wake up."
The remaining princes,
The eldest prince Ji Wujiang is leading the army away, so he cannot come back. The third child is in the lake pavilion.
Therefore, Lao Si, Lao Wu, Lao Liu and Xiao Qi all knelt down behind the prince.
What surprised Lao Si and Lao Wu was that Ji Laoliu, who had previously looked like he was going to "show off", knelt down on the futon and directly pressed his forehead against the floor tiles without moving much.
Although this looks very sad, it still has some meaning compared to the previous foreshadowing.
In fact,
Ji Chengjue was too tired.
After sitting there all night and struggling with life and death, my whole body was hollowed out. When I entered this place and was smelled by the scent of incense and candles, I immediately felt like I wanted to go with Queen Daxing.
The other three brothers just knelt there silently.
It is said that the Tian family is ruthless, but the prince and the queen are indeed close to each other. Moreover, the prince has lost his mother's family, and now he has lost his mother. It is normal for him to lose control of his emotions under the repeated blows.
Ji Laoliu fell asleep in a daze, maintaining the posture of "grabbing the ground with his head".
Fortunately, there were people coming and going around and there was a lot of movement, so his slight snoring went unnoticed.
However, although the Queen Mother only gave birth to one prince, she was the mother of all the princes after all. Strictly speaking, the other princes were all her concubines.
The prince continued to weep there, in great sorrow;
Xiao Qi was confused and didn't know how to deal with such a situation.
Lao Liu stood there again, motionless.
Therefore, the fourth and fifth children could only play the role of "filial sons" and return gifts to the courtiers and wives who came in one after another.
I don’t know how long it took or what time it was.
The eunuch who called the roll call shouted:
"My condolences, Princess Zhenbeihou!"
The princess is here.
Prepared for three weddings,
The princess is still the princess,
I was stunned that I didn't step into the position of Crown Princess.
But just as Ji Chengjue said to his seventh uncle in the morning, when the princess wearing a white flower on her head came in, the eyes of many people inside and outside the palace fell on her.
Is there any reason why getting married would lead to a bloody disaster?
Ji Laoliu, who was sleeping on the other side,
After hearing the roll call from the eunuch,
His body trembled instinctively,
I don’t know if I woke up or not, or maybe my weak spirit was stimulated again.
Anyway,
Ji Laoliu tilted his neck.
The whole person rolled to the ground on one side.
A father-in-law on the side immediately shouted:
"It's not good. Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, was so sad that he fainted. Call the doctor quickly. Call the doctor quickly!"
……
When Ji Laoliu woke up, the sun in the west was about to set.
The medical officer who had been accompanying him immediately stood up and informed the imperial doctor.
"Your Highness, you are exhausted and worried too much. You need to take good care of yourself. I have already prepared a prescription and handed it over to Eunuch Zhang outside."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhao."
"This is a matter within the scope of my duties, and I should not be thanked."
The resting place was in the side hall. Not to mention, after a good night's sleep, his energy level had indeed recovered a lot. But when he thought that he would probably have to watch the funeral with a few brothers tonight, Ji Chengjue couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. .
After becoming a father, he couldn't wait to listen to his wife's belly movements every night. He had already lost one night yesterday, and he would lose again tonight.
However, as soon as he crossed the threshold, Ji Chengjue saw the princess standing there, facing a small pond, her face full of sorrow.
Ji Chengjue didn't believe that the princess would truly feel sad from the bottom of her heart because of the queen's death.
Because there is a high probability that she will not marry the prince.
And even if you are married and your mother-in-law disappears just after you get married, it is still considered a happy event.
But this crazy woman, despite her crazy and paranoid behavior, looks really dignified, generous and decent in appearance.
The princess reached out, took off a hairpin from her bun, and held it in her hand.
Ji Chengjue had already had an emergency reaction, subconsciously thinking that this crazy woman saw that Uncle Qi did not kill him, so she chased her into the palace and took her life herself.
But when he saw the hairpin in his hand, he made no next move. At the same time, a refreshing breeze filled the surroundings.
This should be a Taoist object, forming a small barrier of its own. This thing should be used to block the perception of the outside world. This is because I am worried that there will be someone of the same level as Eunuch Wei at this time, and he will eavesdrop on purpose when he has nothing to do. Talk here.
Ji Chengjue took a deep breath and took two steps forward without retreating.
"The men from the Ji family are so cruel."
This is what the princess said.
Uncle Qi had already told him the whole story of last night, including the most important sentence: Please wait until dawn.
Paired with the eight-ring bell, the meaning of this sentence is very simple.
Either this was Ji Chengjue's handiwork. His hands were very long and he could kill people in the palace, and the one he killed was the queen.
Or, Ji Chengjue guessed who would attack the queen and felt that the queen would most likely die tonight.
These are two possibilities. There are also two possibilities that the princess directly vetoes. One is that Ji Chengjue has good luck and is blessed by gods and Buddhas, which the princess does not believe. The other is that Ji Chengjue can predict Judging life and death and looking at Yangshou is even more absurd than the former.
"It sounds like the girl from the Li family is very weak."
"Heh, in short, your life is good."
When Ji Laoliu heard this, he snorted, pointed in the direction of the inner hall, and said:
"Look at the current Crown Prince, isn't he pitiful? But I already experienced it ten years ago.
There is one more thing that I am not embarrassed to say to Uncle Qi, but I want to say it to you. "
"You say, I listen."
"Do you think that if the Marquis of Jingnan deposed my third brother, you, the Marquis of Zhenbei, can depose me? The two Marquises of the North and the South, who is worse than the other, I can't do what you can do, right?"
The princess didn't answer.
Ji Chengjue asked and answered himself: "But have you ever thought that after Marquis Jingnan deposed my third brother, he went back that night and destroyed his whole family? What did your Li family do?
If the thing was done by the Marquis of Zhenbei, then there is nothing to say. Who are you? "
"Xiao Liuzi, you are becoming more and more rude to your sister now."
"If you don't lose your temper, will you really think that I'm a soft persimmon? If you go crazy then, I'll have to wait for another day?"
"I only know that Uncle Qi said that you were very frightened and restless last night, and I knew that I actually did nothing wrong."
"You don't have a second chance." Ji Chengjue said.
"I didn't want a second chance either."
"To tell you the truth, my father, your father and the Marquis of Jingnan, the three of them would sacrifice everything for Dayan.
It's a pity that our generation is actually not that high-minded, but don't think that someone can wipe your butt for you.
Next time you do something stupid again,
You don't have to worry about how my father will be angry,
What you have to worry about is,
It was you who personally forced your father into the torture of killing his own daughter. "
"It's noisy."
"I speak from the bottom of my heart. You are stupid and spoiled. Someone needs to talk to you."
"I'm just a woman. Only men can be virtuous. I'm not a virtuous man at all. I only care about whether my life is comfortable. Why should I suffer for the overall situation?"
"Haha, what are you going to do next? When you went to express your condolences earlier, the looks from around you were unpleasant, weren't you?"
"You're gloating."
"You can't get married. The wedding has never been held anyway. Besides, I, Dayan, am not a big man, and I take etiquette and women's virtues very seriously.
Don't get married now, and you won't have to worry about it anymore.
I think,
My princess sister, you still have this courage and style. "
"I'm really tired. I didn't want to get married in the first place. The men in your Ji family are all bad. I was forced here by my parents.
Then after waiting for so long, waiting and waiting, I was stunned that I couldn't get myself married.
I am used to the vastness of the desert, but I accidentally suffered in Yanjing City for so long. In a few days, I will write to Your Majesty, begging Your Majesty to let me go out for some fresh air. I believe Your Majesty will allow it. "
I still have this bit of face.
And in this way, the marriage will fade away.
"Go back to Beifeng County and continue to fight your barbarians?" Ji Chengjue asked.
"Ah."
The princess stretched out her hand and lifted up the blue hair on her face.
Road:
"I'm tired of seeing sand, I want to see snow."
