Every child in this world is born with hope, and that little ball of flesh carries the hope and love of its parents when it grows from the embryo.
In the mirror, Wen Li saw the Hatas couple's unrestrained love for the baby in their arms, the love and joy that radiated from their bones.
She had been in the palace for more than a month and had heard Lu Zhizhou talk a lot about the late queen and Hatas.
The two were a young couple. Hatas married the queen before he succeeded to the throne. They were very loving. In the third year after he succeeded to the throne, their first child Lejia was born.
For the first child of the dynasty, when Le Jia was born, auspicious signs fell from the sky, and the sky was filled with colorful rays of light, which made the subjects respect the newborn princess even more.
Almost smoothly, Wen Li saw the baby fall to the ground, slowly walking and starting to grow. She was favored by the Hatas couple and grew up in the palm of their hands.
The scene changed again, and Jia Tong and Yin Sa were born separately. The only difference was that two years after Yin Sa was born, the first queen passed away, and her health was extremely poor.
The funeral scene was grand, and Wen Li saw Le Jia, dressed in white, standing in the main hall holding the hands of his younger siblings.
Snowflakes started flying in the royal capital that had never snowed before.
Wen Li saw her squatting in front of her brothers and sisters, raising her hands to wipe away the tears on their faces, and softly comforting their emotions.
"Don't cry, sister will take care of you in the future."
She was only twelve years old at that time, and Wen Li also saw the red eyes and suppressed tears.
After the death of the first queen, Hatas was in a state of decline and the government was almost in ruins.
After the funeral, Jia Tong returned to Tongshan to accompany her grandmother. In order to better take care of her younger brother, Le Jia took on the responsibilities of a mother.
The smart girl stepped into the court step by step, making full use of what her mother had taught her.
During the years when Hatas was depressed because of the loss of his beloved wife, it was Lejia who supported half of the court.
"It's amazing, isn't it? Since the birth of King K's royal family, she is the most charismatic and powerful princess that has ever appeared. Many princes are far less broad-minded than her. It was she who changed the current economic system and made the coast The city has entered development twenty years ahead of schedule." Prince Pei looked at the people leading the meeting in the water mirror.
It is precisely because of her achievements that the people of K gradually began to think of accepting the queen's succession.
Under this system of direct lineage inheriting the country, there has been only one queen in the history of K country, and she finally abdicated hastily due to the interference of collateral lines.
At the age of fourteen, Princess Lejia visited various countries and finally found a path that was very suitable for the development of K country and promoted economic development.
Under the prosperity, there are many more people among the people who support her succession.
"It's a pity that God has given her such a powerful ability, and she must take back something. If she is not the chosen one, she will be the second generation queen, and she will definitely be an extremely wise monarch in the future." Pei The prince said this without knowing why.
It's a pity that it's just destiny. Some people's destiny is destined from birth. Forcibly changing their destiny will only lead to self-destruction.
"Destiny?" Wen Li looked at Prince Pei, "Are you going to wipe out all her efforts with just one sentence of destiny?"
She could clearly see how hard the Hatas and his wife worked on raising Le Jia, and how Le Jia himself stayed up late reading at night, wasting time and effort.
It's really unfair to say that God is destined to throw away all her efforts.
Prince Pei smiled and said nothing, and they watched the passing years in the water mirror.
The scene ended abruptly after Le Jia's coronation ceremony, and the scene turned around to show Le Jia riding back from the wild in a military off-road vehicle.
The car was traveling very fast, and Le Jia was sitting in the back seat with a serious expression.
"Faster!!"
"Your Highness, the worst case scenario is that we cannot get to the palace before the rebels. We must plan in advance!!"
The first officer on the co-pilot turned around and said anxiously.
Originally, the princess was participating in a military exercise this time, but just after she arrived in the south and before the military exercise started, news of a rebellion came from the palace.
The rebels gathered on the east side of the royal city and were heading towards the palace.
"Jiatong is still in Tongshan, and Yin Sa left for the west the day before yesterday." Lejia lowered his head and thought, and made a response plan as quickly as possible, "Mobilize the troops closest to the palace and notify General Araya to go there. When it is absolutely necessary, Bring my father out safely.”
As long as His Majesty the King is still here, there is still hope for everything.
The troops mobilized by Lejia rushed into the royal city as quickly as possible. There was silence in the royal city, and they encountered no obstruction along the way.
This was obviously wrong, but it was a pity that Le Jia, who was so anxious, failed to notice it.
She led the people into the palace and drove straight in. When she saw Hatas sitting on the throne in the main hall of Teng Palace, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"fine… "
The tense look on her face instantly relaxed, but soon she noticed that her father sitting on the throne had a different look on his face.
Before she could call her father, black soldiers poured in from all directions and surrounded them, with black muzzles pressed against all of their foreheads.
The sudden change also stunned a group of people who had rushed thousands of miles to rescue people.
Lejia looked up at Hatas on the throne. There was a strange expression on her father's face that she had never seen before, and he was extremely cold.
"Your Majesty?" The general following Le Jia looked at the people on the stage in confusion.
The people surrounding them were members of the King's and Prince's Team, and they only obeyed the orders of the King alone. However, the palace was so quiet, and it didn't look like it had been bloodbathed by the rebels.
The guards who surrounded them all had cold expressions, and Hatas at the top did not speak.
"Princess Lejia committed the crime below and brought an army into the palace with the intention of extorting a confession and usurping the throne. Now she has been brought to justice and ordered to be executed immediately. All accomplices will be given a lighter punishment." Nilen was standing by and read out the king's oral instructions expressionlessly.
After hearing what he said, everyone was shocked.
What do you mean, they came to the palace to protect you, why did they suddenly become traitors
Is there any misunderstanding in this
"Your Majesty, we were wronged. We were originally scheduled to prepare for military exercises. We followed the princess back after receiving the news."
After saying this, people were already kneeling on the ground.
"The rules in the palace are not to enter with weapons. It is useless to explain it now. I think you are an accomplice and your Majesty will give you a lenient sentence." Nilen said and raised his hand.
The person waiting at the door entered through the main door, with instruments covered in black cloth on the tray in his hand.
At the same time, the personal maid who had been with Le Jia since childhood was also brought in and knelt on the ground.
"Tell me again what you know."
As Nilen finished speaking, the maid who was kneeling on the ground trembled and looked up at the people around her, "Her Royal Highness the Princess had increased contact with all the camps around the royal city before setting off. As long as the princess comes back with the generals in charge of military exercises, we will This is a signal to attack the palace together and force His Majesty to abdicate."
"Mingju." Le Jia said in disbelief.
Mingju has been with her for many years and can be said to have grown up together, but now she can actually say such a thing.
"Your Highness, please don't make any more mistakes and turn around."
The black cloth covering the tray in the waiter's hand was lifted, and there was a magnificent brand on the tray. A series of words were written on it with gold powder, and the last four words were particularly eye-catching.
Queen Lejia.
Seeing this, Le Jia suddenly laughed out loud.
"This was found in the princess' palace. This sign is enough to prove your ambition." Nilen pointed to the sign.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Hatas looked at a few people.
At the same time, the deputy general who had been following Le Jia for a while lowered his head and took a step forward.
"I plead guilty, and I also beg your Majesty to give Her Royal Highness a lighter sentence for the sake of the contributions she has made over the years."
Le Jia looked at the man kneeling on the ground with his back straight, "Mo Hang? Who told you to say these words?"
"Princess, the situation is over, just plead guilty." Mo Hang turned around and persuaded her earnestly.
The look in his eyes was something she had never seen before.
When they didn't get a response, the generals who had followed her all the way back realized that the momentum was wrong, and they were the first to bow their heads and admit their mistake.
Those who keep shouting are all being deceived by Princess Lejia.
There is no need to accuse Le Jia of any crime. There are both witnesses and physical evidence, and it seems that Le Jia has been convicted.
She raised her head and looked at the people on the throne. She knew one thing. No matter how criticized she was, as long as her father didn't believe it, she didn't do these things.
It's a pity that he never said another word.
"Except for Lejia, take everyone else down," Nilen said.
Everyone in the hall retreated as quickly as possible, leaving only Lejia, Hatas, and Nilen who had been waiting aside.
"Do you have anything else to say?" He finally spoke and looked at his daughter.
Lejia took a long breath and finally understood what the situation was now.
"No matter what I say today, there will only be one consequence?" Le Jia stared at his indifferent father on the high platform.
Her father was the only one who could drive away everyone in the palace, let them drive straight in, and use the palace people to spread the news.
"It doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is. What's important is that now you can summon all the troops with just one person's orders. The political arena in the military has only followed your lead. The world only knows Lejia but not the king. Under the heavy power There must be a shadow, that's the most important thing." Hatas walked down the steps step by step.
When I looked at my daughter again, I no longer saw the kindness and love, but more defensiveness and strangeness.
It's not like a father looking at his daughter, so cold and scary.
"So, you are also afraid of me now?" Le Jia seemed to have taken a lot of courage to say this.
"Since ancient times, royal power has been dispersed. This is the only way to regain power. Even if you are my daughter, you cannot threaten my status. The public support for your ascension to the throne is getting louder and louder. You can overthrow me as a father at any time if you want. Domination is not a good thing for me."
Lejia still couldn't believe what she heard. During this period, her father became more and more cold towards her, and he gave more and more irrelevant reprimands.
From then on, she sensed that something was wrong, and finally this feeling of something wrong was now realized.
"I never thought about competing with my father for anything. The reason why I did these things was just to share some of your burdens with you when you were secretly feeling sad. That's all."
His mother passed away, his father was immersed in the pain of losing his wife and could not get over it, and his younger brother needed someone to take care of him.
This country needs someone to support it. Everything she does is just to take better care of her younger brother and help her father share the burden of the country.
Now that he holds great power, he just wants to better protect his family.
"Many things in this world cannot be judged by the original thoughts. People will change, and so will you." Hatas said and gestured.
The attendant who came to the door raised the medicine bottle and handed it to her.
"Father, are you going to kill me?"
Hatas walked back to the throne and seemed to let out a long sigh, "With the charge of treason, I can no longer keep you, so you can make your own decision."
"It's not like a father can say such heartless words to his daughter." Le Jia did not move but smiled softly.
"If we don't deal with you, it will be difficult to convince the public." Hatas finally revealed her weakness, "Tomorrow Jiatong and Yin Sa will be back, and they will definitely try their best to save you. If you don't want to be implicated, When it comes to them, you'd better do it more simply."
These words hit Le Jia's heart hard. The younger brothers and sisters she had always taken care of would never let her die like this.
It's a pity that if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.
"You don't want to watch them working hard for you."
Hatas' last words broke Lejia's psychological defense. She grew up with the love of her parents.
Her father responded to her every request, but she never imagined that one day her father would want to kill her with his own hands.
"Do I have to die?" were the last words she asked.
Hatas said nothing, but the look on his face showed his attitude.
"A few days ago, I was a few minutes late for dinner because I was dealing with foreign trade. You punished me by kneeling at the gate of the palace for three hours. Later, because my mother moved flowers and plants, you punished me for four days in confinement. During this period, Your attitude is lukewarm, I just lied to myself that you are tired, not that you hate me, but now I am overthinking."
"I didn't find my position correctly. I originally thought that if I worked harder, my father would be more relaxed. I wanted to be your support so that you wouldn't be so tired. But in the end, I never understood you. Heart."
Under the royal authority, one can really give up anything.
Now that everything was doomed, she had no choice. When holding the medicine bottle in her hand, Le Jia suddenly felt calm.
"Father, if there is another life, I would still like to be your daughter, but we should join an ordinary family."
There are not so many interests entangled, they are ordinary father and daughter. She can be filial to her father and provide for him until his death.
Hatas watched the man on the ground kneel and saluted him.
"Le Jia has one last request. If I die today because of power, I hope I am the last one. Since my father doesn't want others to touch him, he shouldn't give others a chance. I hope Jia Tong and Yin Sa can be safe and healthy. growth."
This is her last wish.
The medicine bottle fell to the ground. Lejia lay on the ground with a decent appearance and slowly closed her eyes.
The princess who was crowned at the age of sixteen in the dynasty, the woman who was known as a peerless genius, ended her life.
Nilen's eyes turned red and he asked Hatas, "Your Majesty?"
Hatas frowned and couldn't see his emotions clearly, "Princess Lejia rebelled and has been executed by me personally. Her body is not allowed into the royal mausoleum, is not enshrined, and is not allowed to have a funeral..."
