Chapter 96
Princess Xiaoru was furious, "I won't go...you dog slaves, let me go."

"Don't let the princess yell, knock her out, if the emperor sees her, there will be no room for maneuver." Cai Ling said.

"You maidservant, you are so courageous..."

Before Xiaoru finished speaking, Cai Ling saw that the guards did not move, so she picked up a celadon bowl and knocked Princess Xiaoru on the back of the head, Princess Xiaoru fainted, Cai Ling hurriedly said: "Hurry up and send it out."

After the guards dragged Princess Xiaoru away, Cai Ling felt relieved, and knelt down to plead guilty, "I beg your concubine to forgive me, this servant has no choice but to attack the princess."

Concubine Shang Gui had lost her mind, her body was shaking violently, and she said indiscriminately: "Then what should we do now? We can't really let Xiaoru marry to Beimo, so hurry up and think of a way."

Cai Ling supported Concubine Shang, and said solemnly: "Concubine Gui, if the servant's guess is correct, the Emperor will be here in a while, you have to hold on."

"Then what should I do now? The emperor mentioned this matter, I..." She thought for a while, "I said I didn't feel well, I passed out because of fetal gas..."

"No," Cai Ling said anxiously, "Have you forgotten? Your stomach... When the emperor sends the imperial doctor to come, then it will be worn out."

Concubine Shang Gui was startled suddenly, this was too many lies, even she believed it herself, she almost forgot that she was a fake pregnancy.

This side is like a frightening wind, while the emperor has already arrived outside Ningfu Palace.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch declared loudly outside the palace.

Concubine Shang Gui in the palace trembled, and tears couldn't help falling down. Sadness and fear made her mentally confused. She wiped away her tears in a panic, and rushed out to greet her, kneeling on the ground, already sobbing.

The emperor came here in a rage, but seeing her like this, the anger in his heart faded by three points, but his eyes were still cold, "Get up!"

Concubine Shang Gui's legs were weak, but she couldn't get up, and it was Cai Ling who pulled her to stabilize her body. She followed the emperor step by step into the inner hall, her sobbing became louder and louder.

"Where is Xiaoru?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

Concubine Shanggui opened her mouth and let out a sob, but she couldn't speak, Cai Ling quickly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the princess has gone to Shangshu's mansion."

The emperor's eyes turned sullen, "Goed to the Shangshu Mansion? Didn't you just beat people in the palace with dignity? Why did you go to the Shangshu Mansion in a short time?"

Cai Ling said coyly: "Back to the emperor, the princess just knew she was in trouble, so she hid out."

The emperor snorted, looked at Concubine Shang, saw her sobbing continuously, and said impatiently, "Why are you crying? Look at the good daughter you taught."

Concubine Shang Gui was full of tears, and said sadly and angrily: "Your Majesty, are you really so cruel? Do you really want Xiaoru to marry to Beimo?"

The emperor's face was stern, "Do you still remember what you told me when you proposed to marry Yili to Beimo?"

In a word, Concubine Shang Gui couldn't speak.

At the beginning, the emperor of Beimo said that he wanted to marry Princess Daliang, and the two countries reached an agreement of friendship and peace through marriage. The emperor talked about this with Shang Guifei, and Shang Guifei suggested that Yili should be the marriage princess. Yes, it is nothing more than saying that it is duty-bound for the country and the people.

The emperor said: "You said, if one day, the country needs Xiaoru, you will let Xiaoru get married without hesitation, even if it is a barren land."

Concubine Shanggui knelt down, weeping uncontrollably, "Your Majesty, this concubine was obsessed with ghosts at the time, but now that I think about it, Xiaoru is my concubine's heart and soul, she is my only child, how can my concubine have the heart to send her to Beimo?"

"She's not your only child, aren't you pregnant? In a few months, there will be a prince who will honor you instead of Xiaoru." The emperor raised his eyebrows lightly, "Besides, you proposed Yili at the beginning." At that time, she was also the only child of Concubine Su, why did you say so righteously at that time, but when it came to yourself, you pushed back and forth and even allowed Xiao Ru to humiliate and beat the person in front of me? You let me down so much. "

The last sentence was extremely stern, and his eyes were like swords, forcing Concubine Shang Gui not to look at him.

Concubine Shang Gui cried and said: "Your Majesty, everything is the fault of my concubine, please take back the imperial decree and replace me with someone else."

The emperor said coldly: "The imperial decree has been issued, how to take it back? You say to change people, who is it?"

Concubine Shang Gui couldn't think anymore, and said indiscriminately: "There are so many princesses, why must it be Xiaoru? It can also be a princess, as long as the time comes, you can get the title of princess and marry as a princess. Besides, it is a great honor for a princess to be conferred the title of princess, and I believe there must be someone willing to do so."

The emperor's eyes became even more angry, and his voice slightly raised, "There are so many princesses, but only three are suitable. Do you want Changchun or Xinglan to replace Xiaoru?"

"Then..." Concubine Shang Gui thought for a while, and knew that it was absolutely impossible. Whether it was Princess Xinglan or Princess Changchun, her background was better than that of Xiaoru, and the emperor would never let the two of them marry on her behalf. ? You can choose one of the princesses."

"Who should I choose? I want to hear your opinion." The emperor held back his anger and asked patiently.

"Princess Caiyue, didn't you say that before? The emperor wants Princess Caiyue to get married, or Princess Mingyue, Princess Feijuan, there must be someone who can replace Xiaoru, right?"

"You love your daughter, so don't you love other people's daughters?" The emperor looked at her disappointedly, "You are so hypocritical. What you said to me that day was just lip service. I have never thought of me and the country at all in my heart."

Concubine Shanggui cried out in despair, "Your Majesty, Xiaoru is also your daughter, are you really so cruel?"

The emperor's voice was hollow, "Xiaoru is my daughter, and Yili is also my daughter. Why didn't you cry for Yili that day? Since the imperial decree has been issued, I will never take it back. If you don't obey it, you will be charged with resisting the decree." .”

After speaking, he stood up and walked away coldly.

Concubine Shang Gui fell down on the ground, weeping loudly, Cai Ling helped her up, and said worriedly: "The emperor has made up his mind, and Longyan is furious, so after all, Eunuch Xi is the person in front of the emperor, and he is here to announce the decree. Hitting him is slapping the face of the emperor, how could he not be angry?"

Concubine Shang Gui cried until her eyes were swollen, "I spoiled Xiaoru's temperament after all, and you too, why don't you persuade me? She has always acted impulsively, and now everyone beats her, what can she do? It's all you Yes, you were the most sober in the past, why didn't you think of going to this level? The emperor must have thought about it a long time ago, and you don't know how to mention it, how can you let me recommend you to the emperor?"

"My maidservant didn't know that the princess would do it all of a sudden. Besides, the holy will is unpredictable. If my maidservant could have expected it earlier, why didn't she say it?" Cailing said aggrievedly. She didn't expect that Shang Guifei was still helping her. Seeing Xiaoru as a princess, she couldn't help feeling disheartened. With Shanggui's temperament, she was afraid that she would be suppressed forever. If Xiaoru really went to Beimo with her relatives, the fetus in her womb would be empty again. Yes, the only hope is that her brother will come back from victorious battles, but I heard that he has suffered several defeats in a row, so I am afraid that there is nothing to hope for.
