stern wife

Chapter 599 Didn't You Ask For This?

The news sent back was that instead of sending those silver taels to the local governments, Pei Shiwen embezzled them all for himself, and secretly purchased a large amount of food, grass and weapons from other countries!
Not only that, he even made people spread rumors everywhere, saying that the catastrophe of Suzaku was caused by Zhu Lianxi alone!

The reason is nothing else, it is precisely because he murdered Zhongliang!
Otherwise, why would Suzaku snow in June?
If it weren't for the great injustice in the world, God wouldn't have fallen such a heavy snow!
And this Zhongliang is naturally the Pei family and that Pei Xiaoran.

When Pei Xiaoran was just born, the auspiciousness from heaven was known to almost everyone in the world.

It is also an indisputable fact that she has defended Xijiang for many years, fought countless victories, and finally wiped out all the sand bandits in Xijiang.

However, later, because Zhu Lianxi suspected that she was collaborating with the enemy and treason, she and Pei's family were all beheaded.

However, in fact, it was only because Zhu Lianxi saw that she was powerful and feared that she would rebel and shake his throne.

That's why he intentionally fabricated perjury, killed his wife, and even killed Suzaku's patron saint!
God was furious, so he sent down heavy punishments.

And the common people were all implicated by his heinous crimes, so their families were ruined, they had no food and clothing, and their lives were in danger!
The rumors quickly aroused great public outrage.

Those who originally scolded Pei Xiaoran for collaborating with the enemy and treason immediately turned on Pei Shiwen's side like weeds on the wall.

Not to mention those former soldiers and subordinates who believed that Pei Xiaoran died unjustly.

They were originally dissatisfied with Pei Shiwen's taking over Pei Xiaoran's position, after all, Pei Xiaoran earned this position through life and death.

What kind of thing is Pei Shiwen, why does he sit in such a position without any military achievements?

But seeing that Pei Shiwen actually spoke up for Pei Xiaoran and redressed his grievances, the army immediately began to favor him.

As the snowstorm became more and more serious, more and more people supported Pei Shiwen.

Zhu Lianxi was furious, but at that time he loved Pei Huayu and sisters so much that he didn't blame Pei Shiwen for their mistakes.

However, he has a deep affection for them, but the other party is ungrateful to him.

While he was in a deep sleep, the two sisters took out their hidden daggers and stabbed him in the heart without hesitation.

Although his timely vigilance saved his life.

But he never expected that most of the people in the palace had also turned traitor. When he asked them to arrest the two sisters, the other party drew out his sword and slashed towards him with a murderous look on his face.

As a last resort, under the cover of several confidants, Zhu Lianxi escaped from the palace in embarrassment along the underground passage that only he knew.

Soon, Suzaku's throne changed hands.

The former lord of a country has also become a shameless scum that everyone scolds, and a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats.

Even when he died, he didn't know whose hands he died in.

Because the person who killed him gave him a sword from behind, and he didn't know whether the person who drew the sword was his traitorous subordinate or just a passerby who recognized his identity.

The chest drank the long sword, blood gushed out like a spring, the blood sprayed all over the sky, and the pain was like ten thousand steel needles, all piercing into the brain.

The moment Buzhi fell to the ground, he wasn't thinking about who killed him.

Instead, he was thinking, did Pei Xiaoran, his first wife, his queen, at the moment of death... also suffer so much?
Zhu Lianxi suddenly closed her eyes, her brows were furrowed, and one hand unconsciously stroked her heart.

As if the sword was still stuck in there, every time I think that I personally ordered the killing of the person I love the most, my heart hurts unbearably.

"Uh...Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable? Do you want to go back and ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"

Seeing that he suddenly showed pain, Pei Xiaoran couldn't help asking with concern.

However, although there was worry on the face, there was indifference and indifference in the heart.

She thought that Zhu Lianxi was in such pain because of losing the throne, so she was indifferent to what happened to him.

Isn't this what he asked for?

If you are far from a virtuous minister and near a villain, if you don't know people clearly, don't blame them for being backlashed by others.

Hearing her voice, Zhu Lianxi slowly opened his eyes.

In those eyes, there are guilt, remorse, pain and self-blame.

But more, it is fortunate.

While rejoicing, he hated those villains who had harmed him even more!
Zhu Lianxi said lightly:

"How to deal with this child is the business of this hall, and this hall will do it cleanly and will not implicate you.

The hall called you here to tell you that the child is here in the hall, so you don't need to send more people to find it. "

Pei Xiaoran asked vigilantly:

"I don't know how His Highness will deal with him?"

Zhu Lianxi glanced at the baby wrapped in the quilt out of the corner of her eye, and repeated patiently:

"My hall said, this child cannot be kept."

"no!"

Pei Xiaoran suddenly jumped to the side of the baby, picked him up, held him in his arms, stared at Zhu Lianxi and said:

"Even if His Majesty is worried and wants to get rid of the future troubles forever, we have to wait until he grows up! Doing it now is tantamount to bullying the weak with the strong and winning by force!"

Zhu Lianxi said expressionlessly:

"But, the hall has already started."

"what?!"

Pei Xiaoran immediately put his hand under the baby's nose to test it, and sure enough, he was not breathing at all.

Her heart sank unconsciously.

As a last resort, I had to put the child back.

Anyway, the person is gone, so even if she takes her away by force, what's the point?

Pei Xiaoran couldn't help raising his head, and looked at the man with a calm face, showing no sign of mercy.

Sure enough, this man was still the same as in his previous life, more ruthless and ruthless than her.

As if afraid that Pei Xiaoran would be afraid of him because of this, Zhu Lianxi sighed lightly, and explained in a rare way:

"Actually, I don't want to do this either, but that dream is so real, it's true, as if it happened in the previous life.

For the sake of Suzaku and the people of Suzaku, I had to do something to him.

If sacrificing one of them can bring the peace of the entire Suzaku, then I don't mind being the one who killed innocent children. "

This is really righteous.

However, no matter how beautiful an excuse is, it cannot conceal the selfishness and arbitrariness in it.

Why for Suzaku, for Suzaku's people, for his throne, right?
Pei Xiaoran didn't take it seriously in his heart, but his face was full of admiration:

"I see. Your Highness really deserves to be a 'gentleman' who serves the country and the people. I am ashamed of myself."

Zhu Lianxi shook her head lightly and said:
"Don't dare to be a gentleman. As long as you don't feel that this hall is a cruel and heartless person, and thus alienate this hall, this hall will be satisfied."

She really didn't feel alienated from him.

She just completely lost her heart to him.

Pei Xiaoran pursed his lips and smiled faintly, saying:
"Your Highness is serious, how dare Xiaoran."

After a few words of politeness with the other party, Zhu Lianxi knew that Pei Xiaoran had no appetite to have dinner with him after she had just died, so she reluctantly let her go.
