Chapter 168 Formal Showdown 2

Nannan opened her eyes wide. She understood what the imperial grandmother said. She looked at her excited mother, then at her grandfather who kept coughing, and then looked back at the calm-looking imperial grandmother. She suddenly felt a little sad.

"You and I are married, but my daughter, who was not favored, eventually inherited the throne. In order to balance the power in the court, my mother appointed Zhao Qian, the legitimate son of the Zhao family who holds military power, as my husband.

To be honest, I was unwilling at the time. I also asked you. If you didn't agree, I would push through this ridiculous marriage like a deal. After I ascend the throne, you will be the emperor's husband.

But you compromised. You said that you were willing to make sacrifices so that I could secure the throne. You just hoped that I would not mistreat our daughter. "

"Haha, Wu Lianyi, do you think I am really willing? What can I do if I don't want to? The late emperor threatened my family's life, and even He'er's life. What can I do? I can only endure this moment. After all, I am still a servant under one person, and my daughter is also the eldest princess, so I have to make plans for my daughter’s future.”

Perhaps out of anger, Rong Shijun finished speaking in one breath before starting to cough.

The eldest princess, who listened to the conversation between the two, lowered her eyes and closed her eyes.

"Actually, when you said those insincere words, I was disappointed. As a husband and wife, you never gave me even the most basic trust. You were not even willing to tell me what was in your heart, and you started to make plans for yourself and your daughter. stand up.

If you were unwilling to give up the throne, I would have asked someone to marry Zhao Qian and directly prevented this marriage from the source. You didn’t believe me, so I agreed to this marriage. Even so, I have learned from the princess’s teachings. There is no bias at all, and he even thinks about passing the throne to the eldest princess.

One is to compensate you, and the other is that He'er is stable and can take on the responsibility. However, the Zhao family has a hundred thousand soldiers. I want to remove all these obstacles before passing the throne to He'er. This is why I did not make a decision early. The reason for being the Crown Princess, but you are so eager to poison me chronically.

You say, what should I do? "

Lianyi raised his head, his sharp gaze passing over Rong Shijun and the eldest princess.

"When you and your daughter did these things, did you ever think that one day they would be exposed?"

"These are all done by me alone and have nothing to do with He'er."

Rong Shijun held on to the edge of the bed, sat up with difficulty and said.

"It has nothing to do with her? She personally brought the two scriptures to me."

Ripple said without mercy.

"Mother, my daughter deserves to die. Please remember the past kindness and save my father!"

The eldest princess's eyes were already red, and tears were welling up in her eyes, but they did not flow down. She kowtowed directly.

"It's not that I don't want to be cured. Ask your father if there is an antidote to this chronic poison?"

Lianyi's expression remained unchanged and she still asked calmly.

"."

The eldest princess suddenly raised her head and looked at Rong Shijun, only to see him closing his eyes in despair. It was obvious that there was no antidote to this poison, and it could be seen that her father was rushing to kill the queen mother.

"He'er, your father is not in good health, so you can stay here to take care of him."

"Wu Lianyi, you are so cruel!"

Rong Shijun's shrill voice rang out and was heard by the waiters and female officials guarding the door. However, no one looked around, they all looked at him as if he did not exist.

"Who is this cruel person? If you didn't have this thought, why would you have gotten to where you are today!"

Lianyi smiled sarcastically. It was obvious that she couldn't let go of the power she had at her fingertips, but now she was placing all the blame on her.

"You can be ruthless and unjust, but I can't. From now on, Nannan will stay with me. When she can be independent, I will pass the throne to her. This is the injustice I have suffered towards you as a wife, mother and queen. compensation."

After Lianyi finished speaking, he stood up directly, held Nannan's hand, and asked softly:

"Nanny, what you heard and saw today, forget it as soon as you leave this room. Don't mention it to anyone. Wait until you figure it out that day and then talk to the Queen's grandmother. From now on, you will stay with the Queen's grandmother. , do you understand?"

The nine-year-old Nannan could already remember things. Although some things were unclear, it did not prevent her from writing them down, so she nodded heavily and said:

"Don't worry, Grandmother Royal, my granddaughter has taken note of it."

"Let's go!"

Lianyi shook her large red sleeve robe, held her daughter's hand, and left Rong Shijun's dormitory step by step.

Accompanied by Rong Shijun's cough, the eldest princess looked at her mother's retreating figure, just like looking at the throne leaving her. Her heart felt tight and aggrieved, but it was already too late.

The coughing sound seemed to be unable to stop. It was not until Rong Shijun coughed up a ball of flesh and blood that he stopped coughing. Looking at his daughter who was still kneeling on the ground, he finally sighed and said:

"He'er, my time is running out. You have to prepare your funeral arrangements in these two days. If I die, these secrets will be buried with me.

Since the Queen values ​​her and has made a promise, she will naturally not break her promise. She is young and the Queen will still need your support as a mother a hundred years from now. Don't get ahead of yourself. "

Rong Shijun's words brought the eldest princess back from her chaotic thoughts. She nodded, got up from the ground, wiped her face and said:

"Father is right, I still have a chance."

Then she grabbed the two scriptures and turned around and left Rong Shijun's dormitory. This was evidence of the murder of the Queen Mother. Since the Queen Mother had not taken them back, she naturally did not intend to pursue them. She had to deal with them quickly.

Ten days later, Rong Shijun died of illness. The eldest princess took care of the funeral and began to observe filial piety. The court was also unusually calm. Lianyi would bring her daughter with her when she went to court every day, but she did not let the little girl show her face.

Nannan hid behind the spacious throne of the Imperial Grandmother, listening to the daily arguments among the court officials. Some people even proposed that the Imperial Grandmother re-establish the emperor's husband, but the Imperial Grandmother blocked them one by one.

After Nannan returned, she tilted her head and asked:

"Royal Grandma, you already have so many granddaughters with you, why do they still want you to marry?"

"They don't want the emperor's husband to accompany me. They just want the title of the emperor's husband. In this way, whether my daughter or granddaughter inherits the throne, they will respect him as the emperor's father and grandfather. At such a young age, They are the most respected people in the palace, and what they value is status and status.”

Nannan nodded in understanding, and then said with a smile:

"In my heart, the imperial grandmother will never grow old and will always be so beautiful!"

"Tsk, tsk, how much honey have you eaten? Your mouth is so sweet, but you want to coax the imperial grandmother to give you less homework?"

"Hehe, Grandma Imperial, my granddaughter wants to go to the garden."

The autumn harvest is around the corner, and the departure of the imperial husband and Rong Shijun is gradually forgotten by people, who are all focusing on people's livelihood.
