Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 866 The general trend, a happy ending
After a long time, she continued: "Originally, when Zhenli suffered such a disaster, I had to keep the news secret no matter what. Unexpectedly, early in the morning, Chunxi came to the palace to announce that Zhenli had entered the palace to question her. She claimed that someone I saw Zhenli messing up the palace last night, so I went into the palace to give an explanation to the Queen Mother."

"Chunxi had an arrogant attitude, poking at people's lung tubes with every word, and even calling Zhenli dirty words. I was so angry that I slapped her hard. However, I cannot disobey the Queen Mother's orders. I I had no choice but to bring Zhenli into the palace, who was burned out."

"As soon as the Queen Mother opened her mouth, she asked Zhenli if she had committed adultery last night. Perhaps Zhenli had heard this and was worried that she would implicate Duke Yue and the reputation of the Shen family, so she suddenly had a desire to die and jumped from the high building. "

"My poor son... I saved one life but saved the wrong one. How could the person who poisoned the other person be right? Poor Zhenli, who has been innocent and simple since she was a child, has to endure this."

The eldest princess's cries echoed through the hall, making everyone feel heavy.

Since this matter can no longer be hidden, it is safe to simply bring it out.

It was Chang Sun Tao's turn. He spoke slowly, and it was easy to hear the suppressed heartache in his tone: "Your Majesty, last night I received news about the eldest princess, so I left the table to look for Zhenli, and finally met her in the garden. .”

Changsun Tao's indifferent face suddenly shed two tears. He stretched out his hand to wipe them away and choked out: "Zhenli...she staggered out while holding on to the rockery."

"Her bun was loose and her clothes were messy. She was holding a night-light pearl and lying on the ground to clean up the traces of her existence. Her little body was shaking so much that she looked like a little bird that had lost its father."

"She didn't cry until she met Chen. I will never forget how hot and burning those tears were on my arms."

"Stop talking!" It was Lu Mingyong and King Fu who spoke at the same time.

Prince Fu beat his chest and stamped his feet, crying and out of breath: "My little Li'er! Why did you suffer such a crime! Your Majesty, during the reign of Emperor Hui, Xiao Li'er was hurt to the core. If Emperor Hui was There are spirits in heaven who know that she has suffered such great injustice, and I don’t know how sad it is!”

"In my opinion, Yu Zhen has a dark heart and cruel hands. He poisoned his sister. He is actually the initiator of this tragedy. In the name of the clan leader, I demand that Yu Zhen be severely punished. It is not enough if I don't punish her severely. The common people are angry!”

Well, the words of Lu Mingyong and the eldest princess are completely consistent. The information is summarized to come to a conclusion, that is, the eldest princess Yuzhen wanted to kill Princess Zhenli because of jealousy, but accidentally let Lu Ming Yong blocked it.

But Zhenli was destined to suffer this disaster. She sacrificed her innocence in order to save the one she loved. She was wronged and was driven to death by Princess Yuzhen. She was forced to have no choice but to jump off a tall building with hatred.

Throughout the story, Princess Zhenli is an admirable and sympathetic woman. Her spirit of sacrificing her life to save others is admirable, and her experience of being forced to jump off a building is pitiful.

No one spurned her because she had lost her innocence. Instead, she hated the ruthless Yu Zhen so much that she wished she could eat her flesh. She actually harmed Princess Zhenli to such an extent. Her cruelty was outrageous!

As for the King of Wu who intervened midway, no one had time to settle his sins. Everyone wanted to send Princess Yuzhen away first, and then turned around to take King Wu out for education.

"What a rare woman in the world! The true love between Princess Zhenli and the Duke of Yue is so touching! It's touching!" Mr. Feng wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.

The moment he started, it was like a bag full of rice had been cut open, and the rice inside poured out, clattering to the ground.

The clan relatives and all the ministers raised their sleeves and cried: "Your Majesty, I also have a daughter. If my daughter is hurt like this, I... I will not live! I will not survive!"

The eldest princess cried: "Your Majesty, Zhenli has never done anything to disgrace the royal family since she was born. Yangzhou was hit by floods. She ran as a daughter to save the people from the fire and water. She has always been such a kind person. Why do people get hurt like this just because they fall in love with Duke Yue?"

"Your Majesty, do you know how pitiful she looked trembling and crying in my concubine's arms last night? Yuzhen is your sister, and so is Zhenli... Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"

Seeing the indignant people, the Queen Mother was filled with anger, but thinking of her son's warning, she could only try to hold it in.Because of this restraint, her face was distorted, and her voice became strange and sinister: "Lu Mingyong, how did you know that it was Zhenli who sacrificed her life to save you, instead of you forcibly hurting her?"

Asked this tricky question, the Queen Mother couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up.

This question not only cast doubt on the "righteousness" of Princess Zhenli, but also tortured Lu Mingyong's conscience, and even shifted everyone's attention to the "violator" Lu Mingyong.

But she didn't expect that everyone's reaction was completely opposite to what she imagined. Everyone focused on her, and Changsun Tao even said coolly: "Queen Mother, the matter happened in a secret passage, and it is impossible for the Duke of Yue to know about it. Where is the secret passage.”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "So Zhenli deliberately brought Lu Mingyong in? A daughter of a good family should panic and call for help when encountering such a thing. Why is she still alone with a man who has been drugged? This is not a sheep. Entering the tiger's mouth?"

Mr. Feng added: "Queen Mother, the person sent to ask for help was killed by King Wu."

The Queen Mother said disapprovingly: "Can't you shout loudly? You are mute!"

Changsun Tao said: "Queen Mother, on that occasion last night, did you shout loudly because you wanted to embarrass Da Qin in front of all the countries?"

Prince Fu had always loved Princess Zhenli. Before the Queen Mother was about to speak again, he shouted loudly: "The point of this matter is not these! It's Yuzhen's viciousness!"

"The royal princess has such a heart. How can she set an example for the people in the world and make the people willingly surrender? This vicious method provokes not only morality! It also provokes national and criminal laws!"

"Blessed King!" the Queen Mother shouted sharply, and suddenly started crying regardless of her manners, "The late emperor left early, and your majesty is young, so it is right for you to look down on him, but what do you mean by this? Are you forcing the palace? Isn't it..."

"Queen Mother!" Emperor Yuanwu stopped the Queen Mother and continued speaking.

He stood up slowly, walked to Lu Mingyong and the eldest princess, and helped them up personally.

Then, Emperor Yuanwu bowed his hands to the eldest princess: "Aunt, Yuzhen made a mistake, and I, my brother, are also responsible. I am here to apologize to you."

Regardless of whether Emperor Yuanwu was retreating in order to advance, his actions made it difficult for the eldest princess to get angry, and continued to force him to deal with eldest princess Yuzhen.

Mr. Feng held his sleeves and looked closely at the ministers, pretending to be human figures and not daring to interfere easily in His Majesty's family affairs.

Changsun Tao looked at him with an indifferent expression, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Prince Fu has always been a peacemaker and is best at making peace with people in the clan, but he loves Changsun Tao and Princess Zhenli. Now that Princess Zhenli has suffered such a crime, it is tantamount to digging out his heart.

Seeing that Emperor Yuanwu wanted to deceive his sister, he immediately became unhappy: "Your Majesty, do you want to protect Yuzhen?"

Emperor Yuanwu waved his hands, closed his eyes and sighed deeply, and said in a very contradictory and complicated way: "The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Yu Zhen committed such a big mistake. It is unforgivable. I will depose the eldest princess Yu Zhen to a commoner." The Yingmei Nunnery is imprisoned, and you will never be able to step out of the nunnery."
