To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 526 As she wished

  Princess Changle couldn't believe it after hearing Zhou Shan's will.

   "Dog slave, you must be falsely preaching the imperial decree!"

  The Princess Mansion was under siege, and she waited wholeheartedly for her father to send troops to rescue her, but she never expected that what was waiting was not a rescue, but an imperial decree to grant death.

   This is impossible, the emperor loves her so much, how could he kill her!

   "Get out of the way, I want to enter the palace to see my father!" Princess Changle pushed Zhou Shan away.

  Zhou Shan sighed: "Your Highness, the Jinlin Guards and the common people around outside are still here."

  Just after he read out the decree for the death of Princess Changle outside the princess mansion, the deafening cheers must have been heard by Princess Changle in the mansion.

   Those people really regarded Princess Changle as a disaster, and they wished to get rid of it soon.

  Princess Changle paused, glaring at Zhou Shan angrily.

  Zhou Shan bowed slightly and said: "Your Highness, you know in your heart that it is impossible for a servant to falsely preach the imperial decree. How could a servant have the courage to do so."

   "I don't believe it!" Princess Changle's eyes flickered, and her tone was firm, "In short, I want to see my father!"

   Zhou Shan bent even deeper: "Your Highness, don't embarrass your servants. If the emperor meets you, how can he make such a decree?"

  Princess Changle was stunned.

Zhou Shan raised his eyes, looked at Princess Changle with a face as cold as ice, and sighed softly: "Your Highness is an incomparably noble concubine, and has always been the most favored by the emperor. The servant girl dared to say, Your Highness should be decent, and don't make trouble until the end. laugh."

   "You—" Princess Changle didn't continue to curse, she closed her eyes, with a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

   Most favored by the emperor?

  If she is really the person my father loves the most, why is my father willing to give her to death?

   By now, she vaguely understood. For unknown reasons, the father wanted the life of a woman who was born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the fifth lunar month, but pushed her to the front to take the blame.

   No wonder the rumors are getting stronger and stronger, no wonder the court is uncontrolled...

  The moment she stepped on the stool and poked her head into the ring formed by the white silk, Luo Sheng's words suddenly sounded in Princess Changle's ears: Isn't it because I have no other choice?

  Resentment and sadness welled up in my heart.

  Luo Sheng is right, he loves her the most, just because he has no choice.

   Now the father has a daughter born to him by Concubine Xiao Gui, and there may be many children in the future, so what is she?

   In the final analysis, she is no different from her sisters who died young, just one of the princesses.

   Do you blame your father? Of course I complain.

  But this is the emperor's family, and it is normal for the Tian family to have no father and son. What she blamed more was herself, who was blinded by that duckweed-like love and ended up like this today.

  Luo Sheng is so smart, he saw this for her early on.

   But her A Sheng is not so smart, her A Sheng is already dead, right?

  The sound of the stool falling to the ground came, and Princess Changle closed her eyes.

  The world is too lonely and cruel, she is going to find A Sheng.

  After a long time, Zhou Shan ordered someone to put down the body of Princess Changle, and tested his breathing before returning to the palace.

   "Already done?" In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Yong'an asked in a weak tone with a tired expression.

  Zhou Shan didn't dare to look up: "It's done."

  After a while, Emperor Yong'an's voice came: "That's good."

  Zhou Shan bowed and remained silent.

   "You step back, I want to be alone."

   Zhou Shan retreated quietly.

  Emperor Yong'an sat on the large dragon chair, his recently thin body seemed to be a little thinner.

  Those **** fools!

He just ordered Li Jing to get rid of the women who were born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Wuchen year. Who would have thought that Li Jing would arrest all the seventeen-year-old women in order not to miss anyone? A young woman in the city. In this way, how can there be no public grievances.

  If there weren't these idiots messing around, why would he have to sacrifice Changle.

  Emperor Yong'an was very angry, but at this time he couldn't vent as he wished.

  The situation is getting worse, and it will be even worse if he loses his composure. Fortunately, King Kaiyang is coming back soon, and it should be able to resolve the crisis of King Jingbei's troops approaching the city.

   As for how to control King Kaiyang in the future, we can only talk about it later. Fortunately, after watching from the sidelines all these years, King Kaiyang has a pure mind and doesn't seem to have any thoughts.

   King Jingbei began to attack the city.

  In the city, the guards, mainly Jinlinwei and Jinwuwei, led the imperial guards to fight against it.

  The people in the city were panicked and gloomy, and even the emperor's relatives, Xungui, who were indulging in pleasure all day long, became honest and lost the mood to have fun.

  The horn sounded, and another battle began.

  In early summer, the moat was dyed red, and dark clouds enveloped the city.

  Suddenly the sound of horseshoes was like thunder, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

  The besiegers subconsciously turned their heads to look around, and saw dust flying in the distance, countless soldiers and horses pouring in like a tide, and a big "Yang" character was written on the banners that were waving.

  The general who was leading the siege was taken aback for a moment, then his face changed drastically: "King Kaiyang, it's King Kaiyang's Chaoyang Army!"

   The name of the Chaoyang Army is known to everyone in the Northland, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it made the enemy fearful. It's just that the former enemy was a foreign race, but now it's replaced by King Jingbei's army.

  The dense army of soldiers and horses came to the front in the blink of an eye, the flags covered the sky, and the armor was shining.

  The city defenders suddenly became outsiders, staring at the fierce fighting below the city in a daze.

   I don’t know how long it took, the soldiers woke up like a dream, and cheered: "King Kaiyang has arrived, King Kaiyang has arrived!"

   Soon someone reported the good news to the palace.

  Emperor Yong'an was overjoyed: "Great! Continue to inquire, and report any situation at any time!"

  After a short and intense battle outside the city, King Jingbei hurried back to the camp.

  Our own side reported the news of the victory to Emperor Yong'an. Emperor Yong'an pondered for a while, and ordered: "I will pass on my will, please ask Kaiyang King to camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and come to the palace after completely defeating King Jingbei's army."

   Wei Han, who had already arranged for his subordinates to set up camp, was not surprised at all when he heard the oral order from Zhou Shan, and said calmly: "Please trouble the father-in-law to pass the message, please rest assured, when the minister will put down the chaos, when will he enter the palace."

   When Zhou Shan returned to the palace and said this, Emperor Yong'an rarely showed a smile.

  Seven days later, Wei Han killed King Jingbei outside the city, and King Jingbei's army was completely defeated.

   The city was full of joy.

  Emperor Yong'an led civil and military officials to wait outside the palace gate to greet the triumphant King Kaiyang in person.

  The Chaoyang Army is still camping in the suburbs of Beijing, and there is no mention of letting the army into the city in the order.

  Outside the majestic palace gate, Emperor Yong'an stood at the forefront, behind him stood the national teacher and chief assistant, and then the civil and military officials who stood according to their ranks.

  Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the young man in silver armor and scarlet cloak strode up to Emperor Yong'an.

   "The younger brother has met the emperor."

   "Excuse me, Brother Eleven has worked hard." Emperor Yong'an personally lifted Wei Han who was kneeling on one knee.

   Wei Han straightened up, his eyes fell on the white-haired Taiguang Zhenren.

   "Brother Huang, is this the national teacher?"

  Emperor Yong'an smiled and nodded: "It is—"

   Before he finished speaking, a knife flashed in front of his eyes, and the head of the national teacher flew high.
