Chapter 111. The family and the country bear the burden of their daughter
"The princess is not good! It is not good!" Eunuch Laishun's anxious voice sounded in the winter night, awakening Princess Huayang in the Huayang Palace in Luoyang Imperial City.
Hua Wei walked out of the palace wearing warm clothes with a sleepy face, and stopped Eunuch Laishun who was running out of breath, "If you call like this in the middle of the night, if you disturb the princess's sleep, be careful of being served by the board!"
"Even if I want my servant's life, this servant should tell the princess about it immediately!" Eunuch Laishun complied and said in a hurry, "Quickly ask the princess to get up, there is a letter here, you must deliver it to the princess!" In the hands of the princess!"
"But the princess..."
"Let Eunuch Laishun come in." Princess Huayang's voice suddenly sounded from the hall.
In the Huayang Palace, the lights were turned on again, and the maids opened the palace door wide to welcome in Eunuch Laishun.
Princess Huayang was wearing warm fur, sitting upright in the palace, looking at Eunuch Laishun suspiciously, "Why is Eunuch in a hurry in the middle of the night?"
Eunuch Laishun glanced left and right at the maid in the hall, Princess Huayang seemed to understand what Eunuch Laishun meant, and waved her hand to signal Gong'e to step back.
Hua Wei nodded, watching all the maids retreat, walked behind the palace gate, and closed the palace gate tightly.
Eunuch Laishun breathed a sigh of relief, took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Princess Huayang with both hands, and sighed, "This is from the prince who ordered the servants to hand it to His Highness."
"Brother Emperor?" Princess Huayang was stunned for a moment, and hastily opened the letter. When she saw the contents clearly, her face turned white, "Father...Father wants me...to marry Huihe?!"
As soon as these words came out, Hua Wei was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, her eyes were already red, "Your Highness... I heard that Huihe men are rough people. If your highness is in such a place, wouldn't it be ...isn't it a crime?"
Eunuch Laishun nodded anxiously: "That's right, the crown prince loves the princess so much, that's why he ordered his servants to report the news, and see if Her Highness the Princess can do anything to see if he can overcome this hurdle."
Hua Wei shook her head sadly, "The emperor's order is hard to break, even the crown prince can't save the princess, so what can the princess do?" As she said that, she looked at the ashen Princess Huayang in the palace with tears in her eyes.
"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. The emperor wants me to marry, how can I not marry?" Princess Huayang suddenly had a hopeless smile on her face, and all she could think of was Yun Wanxiao who was far away in Chang'an .
It turned out that the farewell that day was truly a farewell.
As a daughter of the emperor's family, I am actually just like you, General Yun. When the drums are beating, there is no other way but to move forward.
Eunuch Laishun and Hua Wei shook their heads anxiously, "Your Highness...Your Highness, you should think about it clearly, Huihe is very windy and sandy, princess, can you bear it?"
Princess Huayang said indifferently: "If you can't bear it, you can leave earlier, it's also a relief, isn't it?"
"Your Highness..." Hua Wei felt sad when she heard it, but as slaves, she and Laishun could do nothing.
Compared with heartache, Princess Huayang only thinks that the most heartbroken person in the world is her.
"You all step back, let Ben Gong be quiet."
"Nuo..." Hua Wei and Eunuch Lai Shun glanced at each other, and could only exit Huayang Hall.
In the huge Huayang Palace, only Princess Huayang is left now. No matter how thick the warm clothes are on her body, she can't drive away the coldness from the bottom of her heart.
"Father, are you really willing to let me go?" Tears of sadness welled up in her eyes, and Princess Huayang hid her face and wept. Those happy pasts with her father are now reappearing in her heart one after another, and it is a heart-piercing pain. .
If it was in an ordinary family, the father would not be willing to marry his daughter to another country, would he?
"Cough cough." Princess Huayang sobbed and coughed lightly, those sad tears seemed to flow forever.
On this icy snowy night, Princess Huayang felt more and more cold and lonely,
"People should seek to survive, not to die. Duke Wei is like this, so is the last general, and even Her Royal Highness should be like this."
What Yun Wanxiao said to her that night suddenly came to mind, and Princess Huayang was stunned for a moment, thinking of Yun Wanxiao who she wanted to guess but never had the chance to guess, "Yun Wanxiao, what do you want me to do?" Survive?"
In fact, Hua Wei and Lai Shun's father-in-law didn't go far. They were outside the Huayang Palace, listening to the faint cry of Princess Huayang inside. They were anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
"Eunuch, tell me, what can we do to help His Highness?"
Eunuch Laishun shook his head, "Your Highness, I'm afraid you'll accept your fate, and we are slaves, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
Hua Wei sniffed, and murmured: "I was sold into the palace since I was a child. If I hadn't followed a master like His Highness, I would have been tortured to death by the evil slaves in this palace. A kind person like Your Highness, How can you suffer such grievances and marry far away and return to Hehe?"
"Your Highness is a good person, but...but..." Eunuch Laishun could only sigh a long time, besides sighing and being sad, he really didn't know what else to do?
Hua Wei suddenly fell silent, grabbed Eunuch Laishun's sleeve, and said seriously: "Is Eunuch afraid of death?"
Eunuch Laishun said in shock: "I am a living person! How can I not be afraid of death?"
Hua Wei shook her head in disappointment, "Eunuch, go back and rest, I'll watch over here, it's fine."
"Xiao Hua, what do you want to do?" Eunuch Lai Shun asked in surprise.
Hua Wei took a deep breath and looked at Eunuch Laishun seriously, "I know that disobedience is a death penalty, even the princess can't disobey the decree. Naturally, we slaves can't disobey the decree either. As you said, Eunuch, we all If you are a living person, you must be afraid of death. However, if you are already dead, you are not afraid of losing your head against the decree."
"You've made my head dizzy, what's dead, what's not dead?"
"Think about it, why does His Highness stay in the temple for so long?"
"Hasn't Your Highness been sick since childhood? I went to the temple to meditate and recuperated my body just now... Could it be..." Eunuch Lai Shun guessed what Hua Wei wanted to say in an instant, and said in a startled voice, "Could it be you think……"
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" !"
"Yeah!" Eunuch Lai Shun could only nod his head. At this point, maybe this is the only way out for the princess.
"You know what the princess can't eat, and you have to be careful with the amount, so you can't let the princess really lose her life!" After Hua Wei finished giving orders, she looked at the sky, "It's getting late, hurry up and prepare Prepare."
"Okay...Okay!" Eunuch Laishun ran away.
Hua Wei took a deep breath, and murmured through the closed door of Huayang Palace: "Your Highness, maybe this is the time for Hua Wei to repay your kindness, Hua Wei is not afraid, not at all..."
Your Highness, don't be afraid, everything will be fine...
In the early morning, when the emperor Li Yu came to court, the imperial doctor rushed to report that Princess Huayang suffered another chronic illness, and her body was as weak as before.
"Why did you fall ill at this time?" Li Yu yelled furiously in the imperial study, the court officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and could only follow Prince Li Shi's eyes and leave the study.
"Prince, you stay!"
Li Shicai stepped out of the study room, thinking he could breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't want to be called back again.
"You told me, but you reported to Huayang?" Li Yu slapped the dragon angrily, and his sharp eyes fell on Li Shi, causing Li Shi to kneel on the ground instantly in shock.
Li Shi tremblingly said: "Father...I...my son just loves my sister..."
"You feel sorry for the imperial sister, but you know it will ruin my game of chess!" Li Yu shouted again, "For so many years, Huayang has recuperated in the temple, and his body is getting better and better. If she didn't deliberately get into those things that would cause her chronic illness How can it be such a coincidence today that you are sick if you say you are sick?"
Li Shi hurriedly kowtowed and said, "My son is guilty, please calm down my father!"
"Now that the secret letter has been sent, how do you ask me to send a sick Huayang away to marry back to He?"
"This this……"
"The benevolence of your woman! After a hundred years, how can I keep this country!"
"Father...my son is guilty..."
Li Yu was so angry that he felt a flash in front of his eyes, and sat down on the dragon chair, "I am here to plan for you, but you are like the Liu family, why don't you make me feel sad?"
"Father..." Li Shi hurriedly got up and went forward to support Li Yu's arm, "You can scold me or beat me if you want, but you must take care of your dragon body!"
"You're not filial! Huayang is not filial! You are all not filial!" Li Yu pushed Li Shi away fiercely, and he calmed down, saying angrily, "I don't want to see Huayang again, I don't have such a cowardly daughter! You go, secretly take her to the Taoist temple, no matter whether her health is good or not, in this life, she is not allowed to step out of the Taoist temple! Let her be in the Taoist temple and cultivate a lifetime of blessings for the royal family!"
"No... Nuo..." Li Shi nodded, if the emperor father didn't care about the love between father and daughter, I am afraid that the emperor's sister would have only a dead end. It is better to seek a clean life now than to marry far away in Mobei.
However, he also caused a catastrophe. The secret letter has been sent, and since ancient times, there has been no joke, and the only thing he can do is this.
"You are not joking, since I want to marry Huayang, I must marry Huayang! I just said that I secretly bet Huayang to the Taoist temple, don't you understand my intention?"
"But……"
"If there is no real Huayang, there will naturally be a fake Huayang." Li Yu seemed to have calmed down, "You draw up an order to order Li Tong to be the marshal of the suppression of the chaos, Yu Chaoen to be the deputy commander, and Yun Wanxiao to be the vanguard. The three of them quickly dispatched troops to reinforce Xingzhou!"
"promise!"
"Also, Lu Chen who secretly stayed in Shangzhou, since his daughter likes Li Yi, used his daughter to win over Li Yi, the governor of Shangzhou, and sent troops to control Chang'an while the three of them left Chang'an. , Immediately cut off the military rations of those three people!"
Li Shi said in shock, "Father, what do you want to do?"
Li Yu said in a deep voice: "Even if it's an old enemy, we have to fight this battle for the Tang Dynasty in the end, and then the Huihe people will take care of it slowly! Emperor, you will remember me, I have worked so hard to leave you clean You have to cherish the world!"
Li Shi took a deep breath, and faintly, he seemed to smell a strong smell of blood. The country that will be handed over to him in the future is so bloody, so Shan Namu stood on the ground, not knowing how to take it. Father's words.
"There can be no second Anlu Mountain in the Great Tang Dynasty, my lord, if one day you sit on my dragon chair, you will understand why I am like this today." Li Yu raised his hand and patted On the shoulders of his son, "After finishing these things, you will follow me to the prison to see Duke Wei."
"No..." Almost tremblingly, Li Shi received Li Yu's order.
At noon, in Luoyang Prison, the guards served meals to Duke Wei, but the meals were much richer than usual.
"Is this the food and drink before beheading?" Mrs. Du tearfully hugged the old Wei Guogong, and looked at Du Qingqing who was sitting silently, "It's all about you... it's all about you breaking in." What a disaster!"
Du Qingqing bowed her head shyly, two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she had nothing to say in the face of her relatives' accusations, but her heart was burning like a fire with deep resentment.
In this life, is she going to lose to Yun Wanxiao like this?Lost to Huo Xiaoyu?
"Kowtow to Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"
"Kowtow to the prince, thousands of years old!"
Hearing a cry of surprise from the jailers suddenly, Duke Wei looked towards the end of the dungeon with tears in his eyes, and saw Li Yu in a dragon robe striding over with the prince.
"Your Majesty! The guilty minister kowtowed to the emperor!" Wei Guogong and his family knelt down on the ground, not daring to raise their heads for a long time.
"I want to talk to Duke Wei alone. You take the other family members away." Li Yu signaled the jailer to open the cell door quickly, and signaled the guards to retreat. After Duke Wei's family was taken away by the jailer, Li Yu said Only then did he go up to help Duke Wei with his own hands, "Duke Wei please get up quickly! I know that you have been wronged."
Duke Wei was relieved, he lowered his head and dared not look at Li Yu.
Li Yu frowned and said: "I have the heart to forgive you, but I can't find a reason. I am incompetent."
"Don't blame Your Majesty, it's the fault of the guilty minister, it's all the fault of the guilty minister." Wei Guogong hurriedly knelt down again, "The guilty minister is willing to bow his head and confess his guilt, and will never let Your Majesty be embarrassed."
"I love Qing's loyalty to the king, I understand it clearly." Li Yu shook his head quickly, "As the king of a country, I can still protect your family from death, but... I have encountered a difficult matter now, if Ai Qing can Help me solve it, and I can push the boat along the way and let the official Aiqing return to his post."
"Your Majesty, please say, don't say it's just one thing, even if it's a hundred things, the guilty minister will do it for His Majesty!" Wei Guogong hurriedly kowtowed, this is an opportunity for the family to leave the prison, he can't miss it!
"Now that Tubo is invading the border, our Tang Dynasty has been suffering from wars for many years, and our troops are insufficient, so we have to borrow troops from Huihe for support." Li Yu paused, and his eyes fell on Du Qingqing. It's a pity that Princess Yang is betrothed to Prince Huihe... Huayang has suffered another chronic disease today..." Li Yu deliberately stopped talking, but his eyes were as indifferent as a knife, stabbing Du Qingqing.
Du Qingqing's body trembled, what the emperor said so far, as smart as she is, how could she not know what the emperor wants?She looked at the elderly parents around her, smiled self-deprecatingly, immediately kowtowed, and said in a hoarse voice, "If His Majesty does not despise the sinner, the sinner is willing to marry Huihe in place of the princess."
"This..." Li Yu deliberately hesitated.
Du Qingqing straightened her body, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Qingqing is willing to treat the whole family as a prisoner in exchange for the well-being of the whole family!"
"Wei Guogong... Zhen..." Li Yu looked at Wei Guogong and his wife again.
What else could Duke Wei say, on this road today, even if he didn't want Qingqing to go anymore, he had to let go, "Sharing Your Majesty's worries is the responsibility of the guilty minister. Qingqing can...marry the princess on behalf of the princess."
"So good!"
"Your Majesty, Qingqing has the guts to beg Your Majesty to treat the guilty girl." Du Qingqing interrupted Li Yu's words, bowed down again, and when she straightened up again, she said sternly, "Brother Du Ling, you are still guilty. If you commit an imperial crime and marry far away, you can forgive the crimes of your parents, but you cannot forgive the crimes of your brother. Therefore, please let your majesty let Qingqing pretend to be a brother to go to the war again, and make meritorious deeds. In the future, if you marry far away, your majesty can also take this opportunity to forgive your brother .”
Li Yu looked Du Qingqing up and down, "It will take some time to go to Huihe, if you lead the army to go out, I'm afraid it will be too late to go to Huihe and marry the prince on a good day."
Du Qingqing said sternly: "The world only needs to know that my brother Du Tang will lead the army to go to war, and the sinner only needs to lead the army to leave Luoyang, and the brother will definitely meet the sinner. When the time comes, the flowers will be reborn, and the brother will continue to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Qingqing will return to Luoyang. Marry on behalf of the princess, the two are not mistaken."
"What if Du Ling doesn't show up for a long time?"
"My father and mother are here, and my brother will definitely come to Luoyang. The sinful daughter only asks for three days, and I will definitely complete this matter for your majesty." Du Qingqing kowtowed again, "I only ask your majesty to fulfill the sinful daughter's loyalty and filial piety, and let the sinful daughter Go unencumbered."
Li Yu pondered for a long time in silence, and finally said, "Okay, I promise you!"
The author has something to say: In fact, Qingqing also has her cuteness, doesn't she?
Just loving someone in the wrong way.
