concubines

Chapter 245 Unable to refute
After thinking about it at the door, Zhou Shuxuan still turned to the direction of the clan mansion.It's not clear whether he thinks the eldest princess is more important, or because he can't face Miaoli as a failure.

It seems that I have made a big mistake, and I know how to admit it, but I am afraid that after admitting my mistake, I will not be able to return to the beginning.How could he be so confused and make such an unforgivable mistake that he wanted to slap himself.

When they arrived at the clan mansion, the eldest princess saw him and dropped the knife in her hand, and said, "You're finally here? I thought you'd never dared to see me."

He may be wrong about other things, but he will never feel wrong about this one.This is the bottom line of morality, and no one can violate it, let alone them.To stand high and be admired by the people must set an example for the people.

Zhou Shuxuan thumped his forehead and said, "It's not that I'm afraid to see you, I just don't want to see you. I never thought that the aunt I respected since I was a child would do such a thing."

The eldest princess retorted without hesitation, "What did I do? First, I didn't rape, murder, or loot, and second, I didn't steal graves or dig graves. I never did anything for the country. What is such a thing?"

"Do you know what it means to violate human ethics? I still can't believe what happened to you and your eldest brother."

"You already know, so why ask me again. You already believe it in your heart, but now tell me you don't believe it, hypocrisy!"

You can also scold him with confidence, Zhou Shuxuan is really heartbroken.

Zhou Shuxuan endured it, and said as calmly as possible: "That's true. You are aunts and nephews, how can you do this? Even things that don't understand human nature can't do such things, let alone you. , since elementary school, he was a man of propriety, righteousness and shame, and he read the Four Books and Five Classics, but he did shameless things. Don’t you feel ashamed? Liu Ziye has been scolded for marrying his aunt for stealing, and I believe that people will still scold him after thousands of years. Have you ever thought about this? ?”

The eldest princess replied with a lack of confidence, "He is not an emperor, nor is he indulgent, so he won't be scolded."

She also knows the seriousness of the matter, and has been reluctant to admit it.Whitewash the peace and don't want to face the problem head-on.

"Is this the reason you gave? I can't even figure out when you developed feelings, so there is no family affection? Why do you want to use such an unethical method?" Zhou Shuxuan asked one question after another, these are what he wanted Impassable place.

The eldest princess shrugged her shoulders lightly, and tried her best to deal with the matter in a nonchalant way, "It happened naturally, and I have nothing to do, and I didn't want to at first. You also know that feelings are not easy to control. .”

Zhou Shuxuan chuckled mockingly, and thought about it differently, if he had a niece who grew up behind him.Then one day he had unkind thoughts about her, and he would feel like a beast.If it was his niece's thoughts, he would feel that he did not teach people well.

Zhou Shu kept spinning around the room angrily, "I really can't understand. Have you ever thought about how you will face your ancestors in a hundred years? If the emperor is still alive and knows these things, you will definitely be pissed off."

The eldest princess snorted disdainfully, "It's a pity that the first emperor is already dead, and we joined forces to kill him alive. Otherwise, he can live a few more days. Now the emperor can't turn to you."

Zhou Shuxuan flicked his sleeves and said: "Don't change the subject, and don't try to blackmail me. Even if I bear the reputation of killing my father and king, I can't accept you like this. What's the face of the royal family? Now that I have become the emperor, the royal family can't accept it. I am the leader, and I can't ignore these. Do you want future generations to poke the backbone of our Zhou family? Don't be afraid of spoiling the atmosphere and teaching the people to follow you. Princesses and princes can be together, and ordinary people What are you afraid of?"

The eldest princess also felt that what he said was very reasonable, and she herself had thought about this at the beginning.She is not a simple princess, no one in the whole country does not know her.The stories on the storytelling booths are all her stories, and many women joined the military camp for her.It's not that he joined the army for his father, but he really liked it, and even the first emperor acquiesced in allowing the woman to join the army.

The first half of her life was full of vigor and vitality, which almost brought her to the altar.If you do this in the rest of your life, you will definitely be infamous for thousands of years.Not only her alone, but her relatives and everyone related to this matter will be recorded in the annals of history and will be left with infamy.

If she really didn't care about anything, it would be fine, and she would feel less uncomfortable and entangled in her heart.Envious of those who are desperate for love, she sees it very clearly, and there are many things to consider.

The eldest princess defended herself again, "That's why we want to leave. We don't want to occupy the status of sons and phoenixes, and we don't want the so-called privileges. We just want the two of us to live a good life without causing too much impact."

Zhou Shuxuan only felt that this was an unrealistic statement, and retorted on the spot, "So now? Why would I know? In order to prevent the news from leaking out, do you know how many people were killed in the palace? The eunuchs and maids who knew about it , almost no one was spared. In order to save this poor face, blood stained the entire Yeting Palace. Is human life so worthless?"

In order to speak the word "benevolence", those gentlemen and tutors would spend several months, just to teach them what it means to be "benevolent".From the founding of Taizu to the present, the royal family has always followed the principle of benevolence.Although there was a little deviation in this generation, it was quickly wiped out.That's why it has been able to sit firmly in the country for hundreds of years, and there have been no civil uprisings for hundreds of years.

Human life is precious, very valuable.Their supremacy is supported by people who look worthless. If they don't value them, the so-called royal family will be trampled under their feet.

The eldest princess was powerless to refute at this time, and she really didn't take it seriously.

"I know what you said, and I have thought about the consequences. But..." The eldest princess wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't find a reason for a while.

"But you still did it, blood relative aunt and nephew. Shouldn't you be glad that you don't have that child? Otherwise, how will he deal with it when he is born?"

The mention of the child really hurt the eldest princess. Seeing him clinging to the blood relationship, she struggled for a while and decided to tell him the truth.

"Actually, your eldest brother is not the son of the first emperor. There is no blood relationship between me and him."

Zhou Shuxuan felt his head buzzing for a moment and then completely confused. He hasn't been frightened enough in the past few days, and now there is another one. "What do you mean? Concubine Jin stole someone?"

"He's not the son of Concubine Jin either. If it wasn't for the accident, he would be an ordinary person, not the eldest son of the emperor." The eldest princess told him the whole story again, hoping that he might feel better.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't feel good at all, and even gave him a double blow, and now he has to deal with the matter of confusing the royal blood, and he has feelings for Qi Wangwang.Generally speaking, there are only three of their brothers, and the second child can hardly be counted, so there are only two of them.

It can be said that King Qi is the one he feels closest to among the many imperial brothers.

The eldest princess asked him with a hopeful tone, "Now, can you understand me a little bit? I always knew that he and I were not close, that's why things turned into this."

"So what do you say? Do you want me to issue an imperial edict to the world, saying that you are not related by blood and can be together in an open and aboveboard manner. What will the people of Xichang Kingdom think? Now Xichang Khan is Concubine Jin's brother, you Have you ever wondered what would happen if they found out?"

"I didn't ask you to do that, I just..." The Eldest Princess waved her hand annoyedly, she can do whatever she wants before the matter is leaked, there are countless ways, but there is nothing right now. "Forget it, you can do whatever you want."

"It's not that I can do whatever I want, it's that things really can't develop like this. Aunt, you can't clean it up. You were wrong from the beginning. I already know about this, and I can't guarantee that no one in the court will know about it now. What's more There is no guarantee that if you continue to develop, more people will not know about it. It doesn’t matter if you hate me, I can’t fulfill you.”

"I see, you can figure it out."

The moment she was locked in, the eldest princess never thought that this matter would have a perfect ending.

Zhou Shuxuan bowed to her and said, "Auntie, I am the emperor now, and I must preserve the face of the royal family. Please forgive me."

"I know that the princess is a member of the royal family, and I have a responsibility." The eldest princess raised her head slightly, and she wanted to cry for some reason. This was not the feeling she was used to, and she didn't want to be a princess at all.

There is no need for excuses or accusations. It has reached the stage of finding ways to cover up the matter and convict it.Zhou Shu sighed and walked out, feeling as bad as when he came.

"Wait." The eldest princess stopped her, "I have heard a little bit about the things in the palace. We did the things, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Shuang'er. She just wanted to repay the kindness of the past, and she My younger brother is in my hand, so I have to help me. I can accept whatever you do to us, but don't condemn her."

Zhou Shuxuan stood on the spot and couldn't move a step, not knowing how to answer her words, it would have been better if he had said that earlier.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the eldest princess continued to add: "I told you not to let her tell you. And she just knew, she didn't help me in any real way, and she also persuaded me to marry a suitable person , I didn’t listen to it. Letting her come back has already made me feel guilty, and I don’t want you to prove me wrong again. "

There are more or less untruths in the words, Miao Li came up with a lot of ideas to help her, but only by saying so now can she be kept.

It's still too late, he has already proved that the eldest princess is wrong to do that.If Miao Li insisted not to enter the palace, her life would be much better than it is now, and she would not endure life everywhere.

Zhou Shuxuan was still speechless, he knew that he was too wrong.
