"Mother! Your Majesty...!"
Taiping was shocked and shouted desperately. She didn't believe that her biological mother would be so cruel to her one day.
Her mother doted on her and pampered her, just like she would surround her with the warmth of maternal love every time she got into trouble.
No matter what, she didn't want to believe that if she really did something wrong, she could be forgiven again and again, but when she was wronged, she would be punished like this.
But I heard my mother's cold, seemingly emotionless voice.
"My decree: From now on, the confinement in Princess Taiping's mansion will be closed. The confinement will not be lifted except on the day of my funeral."
This decree means that Taiping has completely withdrawn from the struggle for the throne, the court, and the world's sight.
Taiping couldn't even imagine what he would do to survive in this world when he would not see Shiye until thirty years later. When the new emperor ascends the throne, she will be the first to be killed!
"Mother! You can't, you can't! Mother, if you want your daughter to die, do it yourself. Please do it yourself! Mother, mother!!"
Taiping, who was dragged out, looked at the gradually fading figure, the palace, everything...
Shout heartbreakingly.
A tear slipped down the old emperor's cheek.
Wu Qiongsi's face was filled with sadness, but he was laughing crazily in his heart.
Wu Chengsi died, and Taiping's life was worse than death. Now, the only candidates for the great heir were him and the prince.
And the prince...
No matter where to discuss it, it is not within the scope of Wu Qiongsi's consideration.
Wu Qiongsi looked at the dragon chair and felt that it was right in front of him and at his fingertips. The pride in my heart could hardly be suppressed.
Such a result was something he never expected.
Originally, he just wanted to get rid of the Di family and the Di family village, but who would have thought that he would get such a big unexpected surprise!
But just when he was laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe, His Majesty suddenly turned around and suddenly said to him: "Qiong Si, is it your handiwork?"
Wu Qiongsi: "..."
The proud look in his eyes that he had no time to hide was frozen by these words.
He knelt on the ground with a "pop", quickly lowered his head, shook his head and replied: "Sage Aunt Mingjian, this matter, I, I... have nothing to do with you..."
"It has nothing to do with it?"
The old emperor smiled faintly, but his voice was as cold as Sanjiu's ice.
"You all think that I am a fool. The Di family has lost more than a dozen guards; the Di family village has lost a few guards; the East Palace and your Prince Liang's palace have lost their masters and ministers .
The masters you lost in Prince Liang's Mansion were the unsightly people you deliberately wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of, weren't they?
Just like the ones lost in the East Palace.
I have always known that those people in the East Palace are not popular, just like I have always known which people in your house you are dissatisfied with.
They all died by such a coincidence, right? The people who attacked and killed you understand your thoughts so well, don’t they? ! "
The old emperor raised his hand as he spoke.
Immediately, a famous Jin Wuwei came in carrying several broken knives and long blades.
The old emperor took a long knife and suddenly slashed Wu Qiongsi's neck with the knife.
Wu Qiongsi was stunned.
The first thing I thought in my mind was: Your Majesty will not really kill him.
But as soon as this thought crossed my mind, I felt a pain in my neck.
Wu Qiongsi suddenly felt the pain, but he didn't feel much pain, it was lighter than a mosquito bite.
The knife in His Majesty's hand was broken into two pieces.
Wu Qiongsi: "..."
It scared him to death.
He looked at His Majesty blankly and somewhat horrified, not knowing how to react.
I heard His Majesty ask him: "Did you see it? This is the weapon I sent to investigate your mansions and picked up by the people who attacked and killed you. Tell me about this weapon, How did you kill the people in your house?"
The old emperor said, without waiting for Wu Qiongsi's reply, he slammed the handle of the knife on Wu Qiongsi's body.
His tone suddenly turned sharp: "You are the only one who dares to treat me as a fool! You want to kill Di Ying, kill the Di family, and get rid of the Di family village to eliminate the hatred in your heart, and you also want to blame Taiping for everything! Don't You think that I don’t know about the bad things between you, the prince, and Webster, and I’m so ashamed for you!”
Wu Qiongsi: "..."
He lay prone on the ground, ignoring the blood on his forehead, and cried "Wow" and explained: "It's really not my nephew's fault... Your Majesty, Your Majesty... No matter how bad my nephew is, he will not kill me." It’s from my family…”
"Won't?"
The old emperor snorted.
"Have you forgotten the death of your most beloved son Wu Conghui? In order to get rid of Taiping and Di Ying, what can't you do? Do you really think I don't understand you?"
After the old emperor finished scolding him, he felt really tired and didn't want to break up with Wu Qiongsi anymore.
Waving his hand, he ordered: "Wu Qiongsi, I have been trying to save your face, and I don't want you to be stained and criticized by the world. But if you don't live up to your expectations, I am too lazy to protect you anymore. Just take it for granted. Title, go home and entertain your grandchildren."
Wu Qiong thought: "Your Majesty! Aunt! My nephew is wronged, wronged!"
The old emperor didn't want to listen anymore. With a move of his finger, he was dragged out.
Finally, the old emperor looked at Song Wen and said, "Are you satisfied? You knew in advance that the Di family and the Di family village were going to be attacked, right?
Otherwise, it would definitely not be just a few casualties. You didn't report to me, you just wanted to reverse the situation and drag Taiping and Wu Qiongsi into the water. You succeeded. "
As he spoke, the old emperor sighed deeply, sat back down behind the Dragon Case somewhat tiredly, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Di Ying, I can't escape your scheme after all."
The old emperor remembered the feeling when he first met Di Ying.
At that time, the court really lacked good officials like Di Ying who dared to challenge the powerful.
Some officials are very honest and upright, but when facing powerful people, they are often helpless and patient.
Or, just count on her, the emperor, to solve it.
But emperors often consider the overall situation and the balance of power in the court. In this way, there is less awe and pressure for some powerful people.
Therefore, the court lacks someone who can make the powerful and powerful people cautious and fearful.
this is not right.
If the grass is deep and tangled, someone will have to cut it.
Di Ying's approach was very appreciated by the old emperor. I feel that I have finally found a knife that can and dares to hang on the heads of powerful people.
This is a knife that allows courtiers to restrain and reflect, and it is also a knife that allows the Wu family to be alert and self-controlled. At the same time, it is also a knife that the old emperor can use to steadily balance the government.
So, she has been supportive.
But this knife...really cuts harder and harder...
The old emperor had a headache.
I'm thinking about what will happen if I let this knife cut me again.
