Chapter 548: A Hypocritical Fake君子

just keep calling out, tell me where it hurts!" 。“ She covered her head, tears welling up, “It hurts so much! Shi Liyuan, how come your head is so hard!” He helplessly said, “Your head’s pretty...Chi Hongfang came with Jiang Feng, so the two of them were going to say the same thing.

This matter is still related to the Empress Dowager. 。Jiang Feng took out a box. When he opened it, a chaotic pearl lay quietly inside. 。It is called chaotic because it is neither black nor white, nor red nor blue. A hazy and murky gray mixes together, the more you look at it, the more you feel that this thing exudes an evil aura, definitely not a good thing. 。Jiang Feng said, “This is the soul orb of the Princess. The Emperor gave it to me in order to force the Princess’s soul to reveal the true cause of death of the second son-in-law.” 。After the beads were sent to the Ministry of Justice, this office also sent people to invite the family members of the son-in-law. 。As the Emperor had stated beforehand, if the Eldest Princess’s soul did not tell the truth, she would be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell. Her husband and their unborn child would also be sent there to join her. 。So she admitted to killing the駙馬 quickly and directly. 。It was a kind of chronic poison that tortured a person to death over several years. 。The princess's in-laws were very excited to hear this news and wanted to fight the eldest princess to the death. 。The Princess could already be dead, so they didn't know where to vent their breath. 。The Emperor's meaning is to ask the royal family to give the in-law's family an explanation. The emperor also mentioned this matter at court today, but he didn't know what kind of compensation to give. 。Chi Hongfang continued, "Your Majesty's meaning is that no matter what, the Crown Princess is a member of the royal family, so this matter is indeed an apology from the royal family to the駙馬." 。But the man is dead, and any compensation the royal family offers now would seem insincere. It would be better to have the father-in-law's parents make the request. Besides promotions and titles, they can agree to anything else. 。" Night Wen Yan nodded upon hearing this, “Though the Emperor is young, he has grown quite a bit after these past few months. " 。He could offer me compensation beyond promotion and wealth, and I was comforted to hear it. 。The matter of the elder princess and her husband is ultimately a family affair, and family matters should be settled within the family. They shouldn't be compensated with imperial positions. 。Even if the prince's household did have excellent candidates for government positions, they should follow the proper civil service examination process instead of taking shortcuts through such means. 。" She paused, then said to Jiang Feng, "Uncle Jiang, why don't you take a trip to the residence of the former prince Tell them that although death cannot be reversed, I will discuss with the Divine Sovereign and see if we can summon the soul of the former prince and help him choose a good family for his reincarnation in his next life." 。If the spirit of the駙馬 is complete, I will do my best to arrange for their family to see each other again. 。"At this point, she let out a soft sigh and looked again at the chaotic pearl in the box. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. 。She asked Quan Qianluo, “Do you regret it” The silent beads finally moved, trembling slightly, but ultimately could not make any bigger movements. 。She added, "You don't have to struggle. This box is under a ban. Even if you fight with all your might and soul flies apart, you won't be able to escape from inside." 。 。If you answer poorly, I will shatter your soul orb and scatter your life essence. 。From now on, no matter heaven or hell, there will be no trace of your presence left. 。The beads hummed for a moment, then fell silent again. Shortly after, the sound of Qian Luo's light sobs could be heard. 。"I have nothing to regret" 。"Quán Qiānluò said, 'From the moment I put on my wedding dress and joined the bridal procession, I knew this was a one-way street.'" 。I heard my mother weeping, and I also heard palace maids scolding her, saying that on such a joyous occasion, crying was inauspicious, it would affect the national fortune, and make my life even worse. 。Actually, Qiuhu Guojun wasn't very kind to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited so many years to become pregnant with a child. 。The reason why everyone thinks I have a deep and loving relationship with the Queen of Qiuhu Country is because I have been creating an illusion and spreading the lie that I am very happy. 。I want my father to know that after marrying into Qiuhū, I am a Qiuhū person. I live in harmony with the ruler and his wife of Qiuhū. Once war breaks out between the two countries, my heart will not be with Beiqí. 。This is my revenge, because my father abandoned me. 。"You ended up choosing to seek revenge against my father," 。"Because he deserved it!" Quan Qianluo became agitated, "Ye Wenyan, you don't know anything. You only know that I hate your father because he destroyed my autumn clothes and killed my husband, but you don't know that these years, I haven't let him go because he was a hypocrite from beginning to end! He didn't kill my husband for the country; he only did it out of personal spite! The reason he rarely returned to Beijing all these years wasn't for the country; it was because he could only live more freely on the border. Only when he was far away from Beijing and the people who knew him could he live differently!" Ye Wenyan remained silent. At some point, Zhuzi had been passed into her hand by Jiang Feng. As Quan Qianluo spoke word by word, the people in the room quietly slipped out. 。Only Zhuier remained by her side, but she too was astonished. 。Ye Wen took a deep breath, although all this was just like telling someone else's story to her, but after living in the Ye family for so long, the people and things of this family had already gone deep into her heart, she wanted to get rid of it, but she couldn't. 。“Come on! How could he be so self-righteous” Her voice was calm, with only a hint of sadness. 。...but not for himself, but for Mu Qianqiu who is still at the temple outside the city... 。Then Qin Qingluo laughed again, it was unclear if she was laughing at Ye Wenyan or at herself. 。She told Ye Wen: “My life, whether it’s happiness or sorrow, including the final outcome, has nothing to do with Qiu Hu Gu Jun. I don't have any feelings for him either.” 。I never loved him, and he never loved me. My union with him was nothing more than a cold, calculated political marriage. How could I possibly sacrifice my life for a husband chosen in a marriage of convenience to seek revenge

People think I'm seeking revenge for the fallen Prince of Qiuhui, but that's not true. I'm seeking revenge for myself, for my dead child.

"Ye Wen, you don't know, that child isn't Qiuhu Gujun's, he's your biological brother. He's the child I had for your father!" Quian Luo's voice grew increasingly shrill. Zhuier had already closed the doors of the Xuming Hall. 。That year, there was a severe drought in Qiuhu. For five consecutive months, no rain fell on the west side. 。We are left with no choice but to seek assistance from the Northern Qi, hoping they will open their borders and provide resources for the Qiuhu people. 。But your father disagrees and insists on trading a city for supplies from Northern Qi. 。... the Autumn Tiger State's lord himself negotiated with him. I don't know how they talked, but after much discussion, they sent me to your father’s side to accompany him for a month... 。Yèwēn yán, nǐ shuō zhè shì qíng bùshì huāngdàng yòu kě xiào Gèng kě xiào de shì, wǒ hái ài le tā. 。Perhaps because we are both from Northern Qi! He is still a national hero and grew up in Lin'an. 。So we have more to talk about, many shared memories to reminisce. He even told me that if one day Qiu Hu rebelled, he would lead his army to capture Kyoto and kill the ruler of Qiu Hu, bringing me back safely to Lin'an. 。He was already married and had children with his wife in Lin'an. He was filial to his parents. 。He can't apologize to his wife, so he can only make me be a concubine. 。At that moment, I was deeply moved. I felt as if I had already been married. Even the Princess could not covet the position of mistress in a first-rank general's household. 。Besides, it's nothing for me to be a concubine for the person I love. I can bear this hardship. 。We spent a month together, he hid me very well, in a house on the outskirts of a small town near the border. No one bothered us, no one knew that the queen of Qiuhu Kingdom lived in that house. 。It was during that time that she became pregnant with his child. 。When Quian L Luo spoke of these old stories, her voice trembled. 。"Night Wen, don't you find all this rather ridiculous The truth of the matter is far from what you imagined. If you had known the truth all along, would you still have pursued me and uttered these words I didn't want to speak of it; I wanted to take this to my grave, because I couldn't bear to admit how foolish I was to fall for him and believe his lies..." 。But if you insist on me saying it, then I'll tell you everything. 。Ye Wen, listen to me, Qiuhu Guojun never thought of rebelling. He has never even considered invading Beiji's territory 。He just wants to live a peaceful life, guarding his own country. 。It was I who urged him to rebel. It was I who told him that I was familiar with Bei Qi and that I could draw a map of the Bei Qi landscape. I even said I could go and deceive the night general guarding the border. 。As long as he can capture one more city, Qiu Hu's drought will be alleviated, and we will be able to obtain abundant resources from the territory of Northern Qi. 。I told him I hated Bei Qi because my father sent me here for a political marriage. I will never forgive him for that. 。He believed it and thus began to train his soldiers, appointing generals, tearing up the agreements he had made with his brother, and breaking through the border defenses to attack the Northern Qi. 。I was secretly delighted because Qiu Hu was no match for Bei Qi at all. Qiu Hu's king's ability to deploy troops and formations was ten thousand miles behind your father's. 。Your father could take him down easily. As soon as he's gone, I can go back to Bei Qi with your father and live our own happy life. 。I even thought that after meeting your mother, I would definitely be humble and not put on airs of a princess. In the future, our family would get along well. I would accompany her in filial piety to our elders, and I would treat all of you children as my own. 。While I was contemplating these matters, my husband was out there risking his life in battle. Meanwhile, I was here at the Qiuhu Palace, eating bird's nest every day and carrying your father's child in my womb. 。That child is very lively, kicking my belly at five months. 。My husband, though knowing he had fathered a child for another man, couldn't say a word. After all, it was he who sent me there in the first place. For that one month, I traded enough food to sustain an autumn citizen for half a year. 。I had pictured everything so beautifully, but when your father finally led his troops to break through the gates of Qiuhu Kingdom, everything changed...guests. Besides, the Suyuan people brought jewels, wax dyeing, and spices as gifts. A group of people smiled and bowed deeply to Quan Qingcheng. 。The saying goes, "Don't strike a smiling face," even...
