Inside the palace.
It was late at night, but the owner of the palace didn't feel sleepy. Ever since the eldest princess sent a letter with news about Ruo'er, it was difficult for him to fall asleep again.
How long has it been since I saw Ruo'er, three years... or four years
In his vague memory, Ruo'er, who was lively and cheerful at the beginning, gradually became depressed as he got older. In the following life, he was extremely disappointed in her. Although he didn't short her food and clothing, he never paid attention to her again her life.
But it wasn't until the truth was revealed that he realized how deep his misunderstanding of Ruo'er was. A child, a child who longed for the love and care of his parents, finally despaired bit by bit. The elder sister who was close at hand didn't want to recognize her anymore. Thinking of this, the writing brush in his hand groaned and broke in his hand, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
Mr. Wang!
She was kept alive only because of Ruo'er's biological mother, if... Ruo'er died, he would never let this woman go!
Such an innocent child was finally taken advantage of by this bitch!
He remembered that child Yan Hong, if he hadn't been away from home for many years, he couldn't educate the children well, and Hong'er would not have grown up like that in the end!
Hong'er's death was so shameful that after his death, he announced that he had died of illness, and only the woman who committed the first crime was prosecuted, and she was only sentenced to ten years in prison.
Now, the hand hidden in the shadows has been stretched out, and when the right time comes, he will definitely chop off that hand, and then connect, root, uproot, and eradicate that family!
It is really not easy for him to get to the present day. He has never been defeated in the battles with other brothers, but after the battle with the Ninth Prince, he has always been defeated and almost fell to death several times. In the most difficult time, he He once acted as a beggar. At the most dangerous moment, he was taken as an ordinary prisoner and taken into the army of the Ninth Prince. He was forced to do hard labor every day. He survived all these.
But when he thinks about it now, he still feels terrified. From the ambitious fight for hegemony to the defeat of the Ninth Prince, every step is extremely dangerous. At the beginning when he confronted the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince seemed to have the ability to predict the future. His army direction, formation style, and even the combat style of his favorite generals are well known. At first, he suspected that there was a traitor, but after careful investigation, he couldn't find any clues.
Until one day, a beloved general asked him whether the Ninth Prince would have someone capable of fortune-telling, but those fortune-telling fortune-tellers could hardly calculate a war, Winning and losing several wars.
It seemed that there was an invisible pusher behind him, trying to grind him to the losing side, but unfortunately, he still won in the end, and the Ninth Prince's city was breached twice by him.
The first time he captured the city, he reduced the tax after entering the city, and sent his own officials and some soldiers to garrison. Half a month later, the main city of the Nine Princes fell, and the people in the city and the soldiers outside the city cooperated and killed the soldiers he sent. Officials, all the soldiers who belonged to him were beheaded and hung on the city gate to demonstrate.
That is to say, after that time, his forbearance and benevolence were all lost. After the second attack on the city, he killed all of the Ninth Prince's family, including his mother's family, wife's family, and blood relatives within three generations, not a single one was spared! Afterwards, he kept on doing nothing, leaving the whole city bald!
There is no need to keep these puppies who will not obey unless they are put on a leash and put in a pig prison!
Knowing that this would leave the biggest stain on his imperial career, he still did it without hesitation. Thinking of his wife, concubine and daughter who had fallen to death, he was even more ruthless when he attacked the Ninth Prince. He still couldn't find it, but after assisting the Ninth Prince for such a long time, he still left some clues. He has already confirmed that this person belongs to one of the three families of Langya Wang Family, Xihe Ouyang Family, and Nanyuan Zhang Family.
Once he is allowed to find this person, he will definitely want this person, he cannot live or die!
The emperor's eyes are gloomy, cold and cruel. In order to survive in troubled times and ascend to this position, he lost too many things. In those days, he couldn't take care of his wives and concubines, and he didn't have time to teach his children. They fell into dangerous places several times, and among them, there was always the shadow of that person.
That person is like a jackal who has been hiding in the dark, forbearing, patient but also timid.
He hated this man!
When he finally came to the throne, his two daughters from concubine, one became a general who wouldn't give way to men on the battlefield, and the other was a lady from a famous family. However, his only son was taught by his stupid princess to be an unruly woman. A ruthless idiot with no education, who only knows how to fight cocks and walk dogs, lingers in brothels and Chuguan, but his once favorite daughter was hurt time and time again by that bitch, and became the son's puppet to prevent disasters, until the last desperate leave.
He still couldn't believe that his lovely daughter would lose her family in the end!
To this day, in his memory, there is a slight blush on the girl's shy cheeks. She looked at him cautiously, and occasionally climbed on his knee playfully to act like a baby. When did those star-like bright eyes gradually fade away? As it dimmed, he finally became a man who became increasingly taciturn, and he ignored all these.
At that time, he came back once in a while, for two or three days at a time, and then left. He didn't have the energy to take care of her at all. He always thought that his princess was kind-hearted even though she came from a low family background. He never thought, She actually left her own daughter in the hands of the Ninth Prince. When a wounded soldier told him everything, his heart was completely chilled.
[Your Majesty, this subordinate was seriously injured that day and did not have time to save His Royal Highness the Third Princess.] After recovering from his injuries, the guard who had survived a near death said to him, [However, this subordinate saw with his own eyes that the princess left with her son and left behind. Down the three princesses.]
His Highness the Third Princess was stabbed and trampled by a horse. When he woke up, all the dead people around him were thrown into mass graves. Vultures were pecking at the mutilated flesh and blood. Even gods couldn’t tell which bone belonged to them who is it.
Everyone thought that the third princess was dead.
The emperor summoned the guards who survived that day and sent his confidants to interrogate them carefully. The final confession was placed on the emperor's desk. He called the woman into the palace and threw the evidence on her head. , asked straightforwardly: [Did you do this?]
The woman was still quibbling at the beginning, but in the end she showed her stupid face in the irrefutable evidence. She defended herself: [You also think about Hong'er, if Hong'er is your flesh and blood, isn't Hong'er not? If you didn't do this that day , both Hong'er and I will die, do you just want to see me and Hong'er die before you are willing?]
He walked over and looked carefully at this well-maintained face, but there was only endless disgust left.
For a girl from a poor family, it is God's favor to get the position of princess. He didn't execute her or abandon her because the person who bestowed the marriage was the dishonest emperor, but let her enjoy this privilege. Zunrong, he doesn't ask this woman to be his helper, as long as she can give birth to children and take care of the house.
After all, a wife of dross will not go to court.
But until now, he realized that what he insisted on was just a joke. For so many years, Chen Wan has done a hundred times better than her. The person who is worthy of bearing children for him should be Chen Wan. Wan has suffered a lot of grievances over the years, even though he and Chen Wan met by chance at the beginning, and later Chen Wan tricked him into marrying her as a concubine, but after so many years, the original prejudice and resentment have long since disappeared. gone.
He kicked the woman's chest, with endless grief and anger: [If Er is your daughter, how could you kill her with such a vicious heart!]
The woman cried: [You beat me to death! Don't want a son, you just like a daughter who loses money, you just want me and Hong'er to die!]
He spent a lot of time all these years, but he couldn't correct this woman's stupid thinking. Now, he doesn't want to correct it anymore. He sneered: [I won't kill you, but I won't forgive you. My favorite daughter, you still act like this for granted, your heart is dark!]
One night later, the side concubine Chen Wan became the new queen of the Great Yan Empire. The two daughters, one was named the eldest princess of Changping, and the other was named the princess of Rouquan. He only got the title of a nobleman, his son Yanhong was named the King of An Le, and when he was sixteen years old, he went to the fief with his mother, and that fief was the smallest and barren fief in Dayan.
Overnight, the only heir of the emperor, the hottest heir who was about to become His Highness the Crown Prince, was finally cut off from the throne. Afterwards, when the emperor ascended the throne, he ordered the king's elder brother and second brother to be hanged, and all the others were exiled.
The crime: the murder of the princess.
However, there is no need to let Wang Guiren know about it. He tried his best to protect him, but this idiot and her family betrayed him behind the scenes.
There is no need for such an ungrateful person to stay!
It was only then that Wang Guiren's relatives discovered that they had a lot of power on the surface, but in fact they had no real power at all. After the emperor's wrath, they were like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, only to be frustrated.
He closed his eyes, thinking of those events more than two years ago, he was still angry, and the blood in his chest was hard to flow.
So when a woman stood in front of him silently, he was momentarily stunned.
This woman is like a ghost hidden in the dark, standing quietly not far from him, with a scrutinizing gaze.
After all, he has experienced many assassinations, and an assassin who can appear in his room without disturbing anyone is by no means something ordinary people can deal with.
He put down the pinched penholder and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman was dressed in black, tall and tall, with long hair falling on her shoulders. She didn't have any weapons in her hands. She was like a ghost, looking at him quietly, and then murmured: "So, this is her Father."
In this dazzling effort, the woman disappeared.
Just when he ordered people to strictly guard the inner hall of the palace and was taking a nap on the reclining chair, his daughter Changping Princess came back.
After returning, the eldest princess drove straight in, and the first thing she said when she saw him was: "Royal father, hurry up and send someone to Dali Temple to find out about Ruo'er!"
She is a princess and a captain of hussars, but she is still not qualified to intervene in the affairs of the minister of Dali Temple!
The emperor was so startled by the eldest princess's loud voice that he almost fell off the bed. There were two black spots under his eyelids. He barely supported himself and said helplessly, "Jinhua, it's not dawn yet. Why are you yelling?" ?”
"I yelled?" The eldest princess bypassed several cases and grabbed the emperor's wrist: "I sent you eight hundred miles to send you an urgent letter, asking you to let Cheng catch the head and release him, but I went to the city Afterwards, I heard that Ruo'er was imprisoned in the prison!"
"Didn't you just say that there is news about Ruo'er?" The emperor got up, opened the cassette, and handed the secret letter into her hands.
When the eldest princess opened the letter, her pupils shrank sharply. She grabbed the letter in her hand and said, "This... This is not the letter I wrote!"
Facing Father Emperor's eyes, at this moment, both of them suddenly realized that they felt extreme fear from each other's pupils.
The emperor felt that his feet were not his own. He pushed the eldest princess away and shouted hoarsely: "Come here, come here!"
The maids and guards guarding outside the hall rushed in, and when they saw the emperor's almost murderous expression, they all knelt down on the ground.
"Decree, will..."
"Father, her name is Lin Ruo now!" the eldest princess said.
"Bring Lin Ruo, a prisoner from the Dali Temple, to the announcement room of the main hall, now, immediately!"
The imperial decree that can make the emperor so emotional can be spread as quickly as possible, even if it is to run away to death, and soon, the eunuch who passed the decree will issue the order as quickly as possible.
Naturally, the emperor would not wait there, rode on his horse and whipped out of the city gate.
At this time, it was dawn.
