Chapter 450: The Lustful Princess with Many Male Concubines (24)
Chapter 450: The Lustful Princess with Many Male Concubines (24)
The entire palace seemed to have not changed much.
But there are changes everywhere.
There is no longer the smell of impending national destruction as in the past, nor is there the sound of absurd and extravagant sounds.
There was a solemn army stationed in the palace.
Guarding everywhere.
Of course, the palace maids and eunuchs were basically still there and had not managed to escape from the palace, and of course there was no scene of a river of blood.
It seems that everyone just changes their attitude towards life.
Some were cautious, but they didn't know what they were being cautious about, because although the soldiers were serious, they were just standing guard at their posts.
No one dared to cause trouble.
As Ji Chutang looked along, his only thought was that this country was finally saved.
Wei Yunchen’s attitude towards governing the country can be seen from his military management.
The ceremonial procession landed at the gate of Taichen Palace, and Wei Yunchen walked down holding Ji Chutang's hand.
The entrance to Taichen Palace was heavily guarded, as if some serious criminal was being held there.
Ji Chutang knew clearly that the person here was most likely Emperor Gu Xun of the Yu Dynasty.
He is her uncle, but also her enemy.
Ji Chutang's mood was a little complicated. When she was a child, her uncle actually loved her very much.
Although she was not sure how much calculation and guilt were contained in this love.
But they were once her relatives, and the blood relationship cannot be severed.
But later, when she grew up, she gradually figured out some other meanings from this love.
Gradually, I understood more and more about what happened back then.
Until she made a deal with Wei Yunchen.
She gave him what he wanted and got a promise from him.
Later, his letters arrived, every word in them was carefully considered.
But she saw only one truth.
Her uncle plotted against her father, causing him to die on the battlefield, and her mother also died with him.
It was also this uncle who caused her to be separated from her brother at a young age.
He was also wary of the Ji family at all times. It can be said that all the tragedy of their family was caused by him.
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have suffered so much and been looked down upon since childhood.
If possible, she didn't want the title of princess, she just wanted her family to be reunited safely.
But for ordinary people, the simplest happiness is nothing but a fairy tale to her and the young Ji Chutang.
Even though he was my biological brother, we had only met a handful of times in the past decade or so.
And amidst the ugly and insulting words such as nemesis and unlucky star, she gradually grew into a domineering princess wrapped in thorns.
In order to protect the once fragile young soul.
Ji Chutang prepared himself mentally again and again, and finally built a high wall in his heart.
He nodded towards Wei Yunchen, looking extremely serious.
Wei Yunchen gently touched her fluffy hair.
Then he took her hand and opened the door with the other hand.
With a creak, the door opened and light shone in.
The emperor who used to be so high and mighty was now chained in a miserable state.
It was clearly still the same bright yellow dragon robe.
This time he really became a prisoner.
The man looked tired and his hair was much whiter. Ji Chutang hadn't seen him for a long time and he even felt that he looked much older.
His eyes were dark blue, and when he saw her, excitement flashed in his eyes, and then he started shouting.
"He'an, He'an, are you here to save my uncle? Ask him to let me go, quickly..."
"I can not do it."
Ji Chutang's expression was cold and indifferent, and his words even revealed a bit of hatred.
The deposed emperor looked a little crazy.
"No, he loves you and will definitely listen to you, Wei Yunchen, if you let me go, I will grant you a marriage. I will grant you whatever you want and let you be the regent..."
"Your Majesty, can I take your life?"
Wei Yunchen's expression was even more sinister and cold, and his words were merciless, clearly stating his thoughts and intentions.
The deposed emperor was very unwilling to accept this fact and clamored even louder.
"No, no... You can't touch me. I am the Son of Heaven. I am the emperor... No, no... He An, please save your uncle. Have you forgotten how much I loved you before..."
"He An, you can't be like this. I loved you so much in the past, and so did my mother..."
Ji Chutang just interrupted him coldly with one sentence:
"Then tell me why you wanted to kill my father and why you did this to my Ji family!"
The emperor's pupils widened and he looked a little incredulous, as if asking, how did you know that?
Then his mouth opened, speechless.
At some point, Ji Chutang was already in tears and she didn't want to stay any longer.
I don't want to listen to the deposed emperor's crying anymore.
Although I feel a little sad, I feel more relieved after my revenge was achieved and the truth was revealed.
She wiped her tears stubbornly, then turned around and ran out without hesitation.
Wei Yunchen looked at the deposed emperor and said:
"For the throne, you killed the late crown prince; to conceal the truth, you massacred my entire Wei family; out of suspicion, you killed General Ji and your own sister."
"Gu Xun, your retribution has come. You deserve to die and go to hell."
Then he turned and left.
Soon after, several eunuchs came in carrying wooden trays, and soon the deposed emperor made his last sound.
Then there was no more movement.
The deposed emperor died, and a cup of wine ended his life of power struggle and sin.
The door was closed, and a eunuch came out and said respectfully to Wei Yunchen:
"General, the deposed emperor is dead."
"Ah."
The eunuch tactfully withdrew, and Wei Yunchen picked up the little girl next to him.
He placed his big palm on the back of her head, pressing her head into his arms, and then felt her tears soaking her clothes.
Patting her back gently, comforting her silently.
For Wei Yunchen, he hated the deposed emperor, but this hatred was not specific.
Because when the Wei family was destroyed, he was only three years old, but he was just a child and didn't remember anything.
Later, he was rescued by the secret forces of the Wei family branch.
From childhood to adulthood, what he was instilled with over the years, besides the basic family motto of the Wei family, was more about revenge.
Therefore, it was only natural for him to hate the deposed emperor and avenge his family.
But for Ji Chutang, it was different.
Her parents died because of the deposed emperor, but she was raised by the deposed emperor in pampered condition.
So her mood must be complicated.
She hated the deposed emperor, hated him for causing the death of her parents, the separation of her brothers and sisters, and for making her suffer from contempt behind her back when she was young.
But she still had some affection for the deposed emperor.
This kind of family affection was not enough to make her give up revenge, but it was enough to make her uncomfortable.
I cried for a long time. When I looked up again, although my eyes were red and swollen, I no longer shed tears.
