Chapter 175 A Good Beginning and a Good End (Complete of the Chapter of Female Zun Guo)
There was silence in the entire hall, and no one stood up to reply.
After all, the second princess is the daughter of the queen, so this is inappropriate at all costs. All the courtiers secretly exchanged glances below, but they were not sure of the queen's pulse and didn't know how to respond.
"Why are you all mute?"
Lianyi rubbed his forehead and said softly.
"The second princess colluded with the Panlong Kingdom and secretly mobilized the Zhao family army on the border to attack the palace. If the queen hadn't been aware of the situation, we still don't know what the situation would have been. According to Fengqi law, treason is a serious crime and the crime should be punished!"
The Minister of Punishment stood up and said.
Lianyi glanced at the newly appointed young minister, but showed no sign of the method of disposal she mentioned.
The court fell silent again, and with the probing words from the Minister of Punishment, everyone understood that the Queen did not want her daughter to die.
Lianyi glanced at the ministers, sighed and said:
"They say it's the father's fault if a son doesn't teach him! I am also responsible for Huan'er's development today, but the mistakes she made are indeed unforgivable.
But she is my daughter after all, so she is exempted from the death penalty, but she cannot escape the crime of living. She must know the final consequences of the wrong decision she made. "
Ripple paused here and then continued:
"From today on, the second princess will be demoted to a commoner. She will go to watch the execution every day until all the people who rebelled this time have been executed. After that, she will go to the western suburbs to guard the imperial mausoleum!"
"The Queen is wise!"
All the ministers immediately responded in unison.
The treatment for the second princess was decided, and then the palace gate was reopened, and the news spread in the capital as quickly as possible.
Only then did the people know that it was the second princess who joined forces with her father's family to force the palace to seize the throne, but ultimately failed.
Not only was the second princess herself demoted to a commoner, she was also buried with the entire Zhao family army, and all three members of the Zhao family were beheaded.
The blood on the execution platform had not been dried, and the smell of blood made people in the whole street afraid to go out after dark.
After a month of this, the execution was over and the smell of blood completely dissipated.
The second princess, who had been watching the beheading for a month, was already in a daze. She could not forget the angry eyes of the Zhao family when they looked at her, nor could she forget the bright red color when the head fell to the ground.
These images tortured her so much that she couldn't sleep at night, couldn't eat, and was so emaciated that only a handful of bones were left.
After seeing the ripples in front of her, she reacted for a long time before saying belatedly:
"Queen, I was wrong!"
"Those people died because of you. You just looked up, but didn't look back. You didn't have a comprehensive plan, so you wanted to replace me. This is the most stupid thing.
When you and your good father teamed up to poison me, you should have thought that one day you would be exposed. "
Ripple said without mercy.
The second princess lowered her head without giving any reaction, and her body was trembling slightly.
"Huang Ying, send her to the imperial mausoleum!"
Lianyi waved his hand directly.
"Mother, am I not your daughter?
I also don’t believe that the eldest sister didn’t do anything!
Why can I forgive her but not me? "
The last sentence came out almost in a roar. It was obvious that the second princess didn't want to be a fool.
"The only thing she is better than you is that she did not unite with foreign enemies and did not betray Fengqi Country.
And for the sake of the throne, you colluded with the remnants of the Panlong Kingdom and even destabilized the border defenders. Do you know the consequences of doing so?
Have you ever considered the people on the border?
If you do this for the sake of the throne today, who knows you won't sell the entire Fengqi Kingdom in the future!
What qualifications do you have to be emperor? "
After Ripple said that, she turned around and left. She came to see each other for the last time, which could be regarded as the bond between mother and daughter. They should never see each other again in their lifetime.
The second princess went to guard the imperial mausoleum. Everyone felt that the opportunity for the eldest princess had come, and this was considered a win.
But the eldest princess is becoming more and more low-key. She knows very well that in the heart of the Queen Mother, she has been eliminated for a long time. Now she puts all her hopes on her daughter Nannan.
Panlong Kingdom completely disappeared in the long river of history, and its territory was not divided among the other three countries.
When Fengqi Kingdom was undergoing palace changes, Xuanwu Kingdom and White Tiger Kingdom were both waiting and watching. If Queen Fengqi changed, they might be able to expand their territory some more.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed. Queen Fengqi used thunderous means to calm down the palace incident, and it only took a month to get everything back on track.
Disappointed, they also increased their vigilance.
When Lianyi solved the biggest scourge of the Panlong Kingdom, Shi Jiu appeared and reminded that half of the task was completed, and the remaining half was a question of the successor.
Fortunately, Ripple started practicing the trumpet as soon as he arrived here, and Nannan was also very up-to-date. She started listening to politics at the age of nine, helped read memorials at the age of fourteen, and sat upright next to Ripple in court at the age of sixteen.
Only then did all the ministers understand that the queen's preferred heir to the throne was the emperor's eldest granddaughter Wu Niyi (Nanny's first name).
There is obviously an adult eldest daughter, why would she turn to raise a younger granddaughter? The ministers didn't understand, and Lianyi wouldn't explain it to them.
When Nannan turned twenty and was able to take charge of her own business, Lianyi directly passed the throne to her, and made the eldest and third emperors princesses as princesses, prohibiting them from participating in politics. The eagle talisman was also given to Nannan.
Then Lianyi moved to Zhuoxiu Garden with Xian Shijun. Even though Nannan repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay, Lianyi did not agree to stay in the palace.
"You are the queen now. I have taught you everything my royal grandmother can teach you. The rest is up to you.
The imperial grandmother is old and wants to live a peaceful life for a few days. "
"The Imperial Grandmother is not old, she is still so young and beautiful!"
Nannan pulled Ripple's sleeves and said coquettishly.
"You are already a big girl, don't always think of relying on the imperial grandmother, you have to support yourself."
Lianyi cheered up Nannan and left directly.
Nannan had no choice but to start handling government affairs alone.
"Lianyi, the mission progress is 100% completed. Congratulations on successfully completing the mission again."
The stone mortar scattered flowers as a reminder.
"The mission is completed, can I stay for a while longer?"
Ripple asked directly.
Shijiu was a little surprised. This was the first time that Ancestor Lianyi was not in a hurry to return after completing the mission.
"Of course, the time when your body dies is the longest time that the tasker can stay in this world."
"Okay, I plan to go back after my death this time."
"…as long as you are happy."
Lianyi's soul was already powerful, and the original body successfully introduced Qi into her body, so she had enough time to complete the rest.
The eldest princess's little idea could not be realized in the end, because her body was failing, she had a heart attack, and she passed away first.
Later, Xian Shijun, who had been by Lianyi's side, was also in poor health. He held Lianyi's hand and said:
"Lianyi, I want to be buried with you after my death."
Lianyi patted his hand, turned to the gray-haired Lan Xin beside her and said:
"Preach my will, make the virtuous servant the emperor's husband, and be buried with me after death."
"yes!"
Before Xian Shijun closed his eyes, Lianyi personally handed the imperial edict into his hands, and the other party smiled and passed away peacefully.
Lianyi called Nannan in front of her, handed the royal secret guard into her hands, and said with a smile:
"Grandma Huang is leaving, please take care of yourself."
"Royal Grandmother!"
