Chapter 104
Shu Ning's weight and haggardness in exchange for half a month of diet, the grievances and tears on her beautiful face, and the new wounds from the hairpin on her body immediately made the ministers believe her accusations against Xie Dan, and various scenes of Xie Dan bullying the Ninth Princess appeared in his mind. Xie Dan, who was as gentle as jade in front of others, beat and scold the weak and helpless Ninth Princess in private. The hairpin was tied to her shoulders. Maybe Xie Dan had some special hobbies and tried to torture the Ninth Princess.
Why torture?
Maybe Xie Dan was dissatisfied with the Ninth Princess, letting him wait for so long, maybe Xie Dan was a pervert in that matter, in short, he must have abused the Ninth Princess. Otherwise, the Ninth Princess was so precious that the dignified princess, how could the princess be half exposed in this hall for no reason?
They were all forced by Xie Dan!
The little emperor valued Xie Dan. If he was older, when he saw that the country was heavier than his sister, it might be more slick to deal with this matter. However, this year's little emperor is only eleven years old and is still an impulsive little emperor to protect his sister. Seeing his sister suffer such a great grievance, the little emperor immediately asked someone to arrest the Grand Tutor Xie Dan!
The imperial guard rushed in. Xie Dan finally looked at the ninth princess who was hiding there and pretending to cry. He waved his hand to signal Xue Hong and another guard to wait for a while. Then he knelt down and said with a shameless look: "Emperor, I know my crime. I was drunk and confused last night and I was very disrespectful to the princess. I can punish me no matter how I punish me. I just want the emperor to give me another chance. I swear that I will change my heart and respect the princess as if I were guests."
As soon as he knelt down like this, half of the ministers, whether literary or military, knelt down, begging the emperor not to imprison the Grand Tutor, and the Censor was disguised with his three-inch tongue, saying that there was inevitably some collision between husband and wife, and would rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, and ask the emperor to forgive the Grand Tutor this time, and say that the Grand Tutor devoted himself to the regent and devoted himself to the people, and was a gentleman and good minister. If he was not drunk, he would never bully the Ninth Princess.
Of course, there were also ministers who were hostile to Xie Dan and demanded that Xie Dan be severely punished.
The little emperor subconsciously looked at his sister beside him. It was related to his sister's marriage, so he still wanted to hear his sister's thoughts.
Shu Ning knew that Xie Dan was too powerful in the court and was also the regent tutor decided by the late emperor's will. In ancient times, it was not a big crime for a husband to beat his wife. When it was reported, the people might even discuss her princess's spoiledness. Shu Ning could not shake Xie Dan's official position just by relying on this not particularly serious domestic violence.
What Shu Ning wants is just to rest, stay away from Xie Dan, and save his life.
Moreover, once the marriage was destroyed, Xie Dan was no longer the ninth prince consort. He killed the little emperor with justification and inherited the throne without any "famous" and had to re-arrange the plan of usurping the throne, so he would not dare to harm the little emperor for the time being.
Therefore, Shu Ning wiped her tears and said to the little emperor: "Emperor, the regent of the Grand Tutor has made contributions. You don't have to punish him severely. But I really can't live with the Grand Tutor. If the emperor pity my sister, please make the decision for me and write a written document to the Grand Tutor to restore my freedom. Otherwise, I would rather commit suicide in front of you than want to be humiliated with him!"
As he said that, Shu Ning took off the golden hairpin above his head and pressed the sharp hairpin against his neck.
From beginning to end, she never gave Xie Dan a straight look.
Xie Dan's face could no longer be described as ugly. From the time she threatened the little emperor with her life, Xie Dan knew that this marriage was really going to break.
As expected, the little emperor immediately ordered the official to write an edict to the Ninth Princess to retire, stamp it with a jade seal, and hand it over to Xie Dan directly.
Xie Dan kowtowed and received the order, saying that he had committed guilt, saying that he was ashamed of the late emperor, so he asked the emperor to remove his Grand Tutor and allow him to return to the Xie family's ancestral home to retire.
Before his voice fell, the group of ministers knelt down again, as if Xie Dan was their biological father and could not leave.
Xie Dan is advancing to retreat.
Shu Ning gave the little emperor a wink.
The little emperor rejected Xie Dan's request and punished him to stay in the door and think about it for three days.
Xie Dan returned to his house and Cailing asked for a meeting.
Eunuch Tian, Cailing, and the palace ladies around Shuning were sent out of the palace by Shuning and replaced by a group of people to serve.
Xie Dan sat in the study with a gloomy face and it took him a while to get it.
Cailing came in with her head down, knelt in front of Xie Dan, took out a letter from her cuff, and handed it to Xie Dan, "Trial tutor, when the princess sent me out of the palace, I will order me to send you this letter."
Xie Dan remained silent.
Cailing knelt down and came to the desk, put the letter on it, kowtowed, and retreated.
Xie Dan looked at the envelope on the table. It was quite thin, and it seemed that she had written a lot.
I remember the time I spent five years together. Hasn’t my smile, her tears, her care, and her anger been true once?
She was also capable, who deceived his feelings and ruined his long-planned plan.
But why, just when he was about to frame the little emperor, the second princess, Guo Rong, and was about to close the net?
Xie Dan gritted her teeth. She had no way to guess his plan!
Tear open the seal, Xie Dan took out the thick stack of letters.
The letter was written by Shu Ning before entering the palace in the morning. The ink traces are still very new, with a faint fragrance of ink.
The handwriting was quiet and graceful, just like hers, and Xie Dan actually saw a hint of obedience.
But where is she obedient?
Beauty just misleads people.
Xie Dan laughed at himself and looked up from the beginning.
In the letter, she said that on the night of the late emperor's death, the late emperor asked her to dream of saying that the Grand Tutor was ill-hearted and wanted to poison the little emperor. The late emperor ordered her to protect the little emperor's foothold, otherwise her ninth princess would not die well.
Therefore, her attitude towards him changed and she coaxed him to arrange for the little eunuch to test the poison for the little emperor.
I thought it was over, but the late emperor asked a dream again, saying that Li Zhong had the intention of harming the second princess, and asked her to summon the second princess to the palace for a long time and assist the little emperor together.
Although she had doubts and doubted whether these were true, she still invited the second princess to the palace according to the intention of the late emperor. The facts proved that the second princess was indeed ambitious and helped her a lot in raising the little emperor. However, the second princess didn't want her to marry him, so she repeatedly postponed the wedding date. Seeing that she admired him wholeheartedly, she knew that it could not be changed, so she secretly fed her to drink Juesi soup, but because she was afraid that she would give birth to a child, he was cruel to leave his mother and keep her son. As long as the ninth princess' blood was there, he would be legitimate to thank the little emperor whenever something happened to the little emperor.
She said that she was caught between the second princess and he was in pain. The second princess poisoned her to protect her. On his side, she was in pain because she couldn't see through his love.
When he invited the miracle doctor, she finally believed it and regained her spirit and lived with him together. Unexpectedly, the third princess died. On the night when the third princess died, the late emperor came to ask for a dream and told her the plan of the Grand Tutor completely. In the plan she saw, the Grand Tutor killed the third princess, and had to frame the second princess and Guo Rong through Li Zhong, and finally murder the little emperor. Once the little emperor died, the Grand Tutor ascended the throne, he would feed her a bowl of poison, let her linger in sick bed and die deserted.
This plan was too insidious, and she couldn't believe it. Unexpectedly, she learned from the second princess that Li Zhongzhen had returned to Beijing.
At this point, she dared not believe it.
Thinking of him trying to harm so many people, including herself, she was scared while crying and had no choice but to use today's method to return to the palace.
At the end of the letter, she said that she still had him in her heart and begged him to give up his ambitions and prevent her from living a painful life between him and the emperor. As long as he is at ease to be a tutor, she will not tell anyone about the dream of the late emperor, including the little emperor. The late emperor gave her the task to assist the young emperor in a firm position. When the young emperor has the ability to be independent, she will cut her hair into a nun, and will always be with the ancient Buddha of the green lamp and not care about the world.
...
After reading this letter, Xie Dan's face was as white as paper.
The late emperor actually kept sending her a dream?
It’s not that Xie Dan didn’t notice the changes before and after the Ninth Princess. The things she did have always confused him deeply. Sometimes she felt that she was guarding against him, and sometimes she felt that she loved him wholeheartedly, and she didn’t mind his frivolity before marriage.
But if there is really a dream in the late emperor, all this is easy to explain.
After drinking Juesi Decoction, she was depressed and was revitalized by the miracle doctor. As soon as the third princess died, she immediately became depressed and couldn't think about it.
If her changes still cannot make him believe that the late emperor repeatedly asked her to dream before major events, the series of plans she mentioned in the letter completely made Xie Danxin.
He did design so much, and only he knew the complete plan for this matter. Li Zhong only knew that he was going to plot against the second princess. When Li Zhong took action, Xie Dan would send a secret guard to lure Guo Rong over to save the second princess. This secret guard Xie Dan had not arranged any of them at all, including the little emperor, and Xie Dan had not issued an order yet.
Unless the Ninth Princess could see through his thoughts, the only explanation for her to know all this was that the late emperor was hiding a dream.
However, the late emperor was afraid that the Ninth Princess would not believe it, so he tampered with his plan. Xie Dan did not want to harm the Ninth Princess at all, but wanted to give her the throne. The late emperor actually told the Ninth Princess that he wanted to kill her life. It was like this. How could she not be afraid? How could she not hide? How could she break the marriage without such a tragic way?
Xie Dan clenched his fists tightly.
After thinking about the mistakes after three days of three days, the first thing Xie Dan did when he entered the palace was to ask for a meeting with the Ninth Princess, with the reason being to apologize.
Shu Ning agreed. She wrote a letter, and Xie Dan couldn't help but ask clearly.
The palace servant brought Xie Dan to the hall and saw her wearing a light long skirt, her thin little face was not covered with makeup, and she lowered her long eyelashes and didn't want to see him.
Xie Dan knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "I would like to take my back and forth."
Shu Ning pursed her lips and signaled the palace people to go down.
As soon as the palace people left, Xie Dan immediately stood up and strode towards Shu Ning. Shu Ning retreated to the side in panic, but her long skirt was in the way. Before she could hide, Xie Dan grabbed her arm and pulled it back into her arms. Shu Ning supported her hands on his chest, looked at the palace gate in despair, and threatened with a trembling voice: "Let me go, otherwise I will call someone!"
"Call it." Xie Dan grabbed her wrists with one hand and forced her to kiss her mouth.
Shu Ning resisted, without any use. He kissed her so hard that she gradually weakened her body and leaned in his arms.
"The princess is so cruel. She doesn't confirm it with me, so she is so heartless because the late emperor asks her to dream of "I'm sorry to be sad." Xie Dan asked in a hoarse voice as she looked at her face that was kissed by him.
Shu Ning avoided his sight and turned his head and said, "If you really don't have that kind of mind, why did the late emperor repeatedly ask me for dreams? In terms of ruthlessness, how can I compare to you?"
As if he thought of his killing her in his dream, Shu Ning shed tears, pushed him away, walked to the side, and said with his back: "I am willing to see you today. I want to hear what you say, continue to plan your big things, or make peace with me. No matter what the result is, this is the last time I have seen you alone, and you don't have to come again in the future."
Those who have something to say: Ningning: Look at me and can't fool you to death!
