concubines

Chapter 175
The eldest princess wondered why these people let them go all of a sudden.Looking back at Zhou Shuxuan, Zhou Shuxuan was also in a daze, not knowing why it happened.

Moments later, they knew why.

Several people did let them go, but all had their knives drawn.They said before that this is Sun Bo's old department.And Sun Bo died at the hands of the eldest princess and King Qi.

The eldest princess seemed to understand something, and stood in front of Zhou Shuxuan and said, "What are you going to do?"

Several people clasped their fists together and said: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, we don't do anything, just ask Your Highness to die."

The eldest princess did not act rashly, she tried her best to keep calm and said, "Why?"

While talking, his eyes kept rolling around them, and Zhou Shuxuan was not idle, waiting for the opportunity to move.

"Just because His Highness killed General Sun and the crown prince."

The eldest princess asked sharply: "You are taking the salary of the country, and you are loyal to two traitors and thieves. Are you worthy of the emperor and the court?"

"Just as long as we have a clear conscience." After talking, a few people were ready to do it.The eldest princess had been observing them just now, and now, while they were not paying attention, she kicked them and grabbed a knife.

The body has not recovered yet, so it is still possible to try to be brave.

Holding the knife in her hand, the eldest princess posed in a posture, and said to them again: "I'll give you one more chance, get out of here!"

A few people didn't speak at all, they just raised their knives and slashed over.The eldest princess didn't care about it, and immediately killed the leader with a knife in her hand.

As soon as Zhou Shuxuan wanted to stop it, the head rolled to his feet, and it was irreversible, so he had to pick up the knife and kill the princess together.Two times and three times, the bodies of those people have been separated.

The eldest princess threw down the knife and reached out to support Zhou Shuxuan, she really couldn't hold it anymore.If she was the only one tonight, she would probably die at the hands of these few people.

Zhou Shuxuan supported the eldest princess who was about to fall, and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

The eldest princess supported him and gasped for breath, waved her hands and said, "I'm fine, now I'm not as fit as I was back then, and I'm a little weak."

Zhou Shuxuan sighed in his heart, and helped her to sit down on the stone chair beside her. "Auntie, are you alright?"

The eldest princess has always been a god-like existence, with countless deeds in the past, and now several guards make her a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. I was a little bit broken when I escaped from the dead before. It's true that I can't catch up with before, but I don't have any worries about my life."

"I must ask a doctor to take care of you in the future."

"It's useless, now is not the time to talk about this." The eldest princess had almost rested, and stood up pulling his sleeves, "Let's throw those people aside first, and then rush to the clan mansion immediately. If someone finds out that we have killed someone, they will definitely say that you and I have the intention of treason."

That's why Zhou Shuxuan wanted to stop her from killing people just now. Fortunately, it's only a few steps away from the clan mansion.The two joined hands and quickly threw the corpses aside.

Fortunately, the incident happened suddenly. It wasn't like before that the palace was lit with lights everywhere, and there was a large group of people following, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with.

After packing up, the two went to the clan mansion.After walking a few steps, I heard voices behind me.The two stepped aside, stopped and waited for a while.A few eunuchs came over with lanterns, Zhou Shuxuan took a closer look, the leader was the personal eunuch next to the emperor, his own people.

After whispering a few words with the eldest princess, the two stood up.

"Eunuch Wu, what's the matter?" Zhou Shuxuan asked after he came out.

"The emperor asked His Highness and the prince to go back."

Zhou Shuxuan and the eldest princess looked at each other to judge whether what he said was true or not.In this situation, no one can easily believe it.

Eunuch Wu may have noticed that they were hesitating, and then added, "The emperor went back and thought about it for a while, maybe he wanted to understand something, and now he is waiting for you two in the main hall of Longde Hall."

It might be true, Zhou Shuxuan glanced at the eldest princess, nodded slightly, and the eldest princess also responded to him.Both of them thought it might be true, so they boldly followed him back.

Both parties were not completely relieved, and Eunuch Wu also noticed something was wrong.A small group of people escorted them here just now, but now there are only two of them, and both of them have a faint smell of blood on their bodies.Eunuch Wu didn't dare to ask any more questions, and took them back carefully.

When we arrived at Longde Hall, the main hall was indeed lit.

Eunuch Wu asked them to wait outside for a while, and went in to report by himself.Zhou Shuxuan took a long breath of relief, trying to suppress the tension in his heart.

The eldest princess tilted her head and asked with concern: "Are you nervous?"

Zhou Shuxuan nodded slightly and said, "A little bit, but it's not for other reasons. I just don't know how to face him now."

Knowing what happened back then, knowing that his mother and concubine were wronged, Zhou Shuxuan felt unspeakably uncomfortable.The grievances he has suffered for so many years are all unjust.

The eldest princess stretched out her hand to pat him on the shoulder and sighed, "I'm sorry, I haven't mentioned a single word to you for so many years. It's really the concubine mother's instructions before she died. She doesn't want you to know about it."

Zhou Shuxuan smiled gratefully to the eldest princess, fortunately he didn't know this, otherwise he would feel even more sad.He clearly knew that he had nothing wrong with him, so how could he let him endure the grievances he shouldn't have suffered.

After the two had spoken a few words, Eunuch Wu came out and said that the emperor let them in.

The eldest princess blocked Zhou Shuxuan from behind, stretched out a hand to push open the door, and quickly dodged aside, fearing that there would be some mechanism inside.After waiting for a while, nothing came out inside, so I went in with confidence.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, holding an imperial edict in his hand, and there seemed to be another imperial edict spread out in front of him.They entered the door and saluted without looking up at the imperial decree in a daze.

After the two saluted, they didn't speak any more. They were standing and kneeling.

The incident of a stick of incense passed in the blink of an eye, and the emperor suddenly raised his head and waved to Zhou Shuxuan, "Third brother, come here."

His tone seemed very gentle, an attitude Zhou Shuxuan had never seen before.

Standing up and looking around the entire hall, there were not even slaves in it, only the three of them, there should be no danger, the eldest princess cast a cautious look at him.

Zhou Shuxuan walked up slowly, and dared not go any further after reaching the jade steps.He did have that thought, and he couldn't fully show it in front of the emperor.

The emperor waved to him again, "You come in, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Zhou Shuxuan took a few steps forward and was already in front of the emperor.

The emperor pointed to the spread imperial decree and said, "How about this?"

Zhou Shuxuan glanced over, he had seen this imperial decree a long time ago, it was the emperor who wanted to make his mother concubine after him in order to win him over, but later he insisted on not agreeing to the emperor's conditions, so nothing happened.

The current one is not exactly the same as the previous one. It used to be a noble concubine, but now it is a queen.

The emperor wants to make his mother and concubine the queen?
Zhou Shuxuan tuopao knelt down on one side and said: "Father, the sons, ministers, and mothers are the ones who take the blame."

The emperor gave a mocking smile, looked at Zaijing and said, "You heard what your aunt said just now. What is she guilty of? The ones who are guilty are me and the empress. I have wronged your mother and son all these years."

The emperor said these words absolutely sincerely.

It was really hard for him to accept it at first, but the events of that year were vivid in his memory, and he could analyze what was wrong after careful analysis.Concubine Liang's temperament is absolutely incapable of doing those things. He had doubted it before, but he was blinded by hatred.The concubine Liang that the eldest princess spoke of was like her original appearance.

The emperor didn't even need to ask Concubine Jin for verification. Concubine Jin's attitude towards him for so many years can also be seen, and she has always kept him at a respectful distance.

Thinking of Concubine Liang before, she was a non-competitive person.Knowing that his status is humble, he has never asked him for anything, and has always kept himself safe, not like the person who did those things.On the contrary, it is the queen who is bold and dares to do anything.

The emperor really felt that he was wrong at this moment, although this was the last thing he wanted to face.

"Father and emperor can believe the truth, so the minister won't feel wronged. If mother and concubine know all this, she shouldn't feel wronged either."

The emperor nodded, with a clear expression on his face, "She really has a good temper."

Zhou Shuxuan thought for a while and then said: "But father, there is really no need to chase after mother and concubine. She doesn't care about these things, and she doesn't want to intervene in the relationship between father and empress."

The emperor looked at him for a while, then nodded slightly, "I listen to you, you are her son. You can do whatever you say, and she just don't blame me."

Concubine Liang would not blame the emperor, she had completely given up on the emperor before she died.

The emperor reached out and closed the imperial decree in front of him, handed it to Zhou Shuxuan and said, "Find some time and burn it in front of her grave, and let her know that I have this intention."

"My son, thank you for my emperor's grace."

It was enough to have these, Concubine Liang finally got her revenge.

The emperor thought for a while, then handed the imperial decree in his hand to Zhou Shuxuan, and said, "Look at this again."

Zhou Shuxuan opened it and stopped breathing. This is the imperial edict for the crown prince.What was written was his name, and it was written in Xinmo, which should have been written by the emperor just now.

The eldest princess really knew the emperor well, and knew that this method could turn things around and let him get all this in a fair way.

"Father..."

The emperor interrupted him, "You don't need to say anything. You have real talents and practical actions, and you are a good candidate for the king. I have seen all this, but I was a little bit overwhelmed before."

Zhou Shuxuan's eyes were almost acidic, he never thought that he could hear the emperor say these words, "Thank you, my son..."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I still have one condition, which is about that girl from the Meng family. If you agree, this imperial decree will be given to you."
