Chapter 206 Princess Death
Chapter 206 Princess Death
In charge of Qian Palace.
"Father, I don't want to go to the imperial mausoleum. Please take back your order!" Princess Jingmin knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
Emperor Hui'an just sat on his high seat and looked at her coldly, without any trace of father-daughter affection between his features.
Seeing that Emperor Hui'an was indifferent, Princess Jingmin continued to cry, "Father, I am your daughter. Can you bear to watch your daughter suffer in the imperial mausoleum?"
"You still know that you are my daughter?" Emperor Hui'an said softly.
Princess Jingmin shuddered and raised her head tremblingly, only to meet a pair of indifferent eyes.
She quickly lowered her head, feeling confused and uncertain.
"Jingmin, when you drugged me, did you remember your identity? And did you ever consider me at all?"
Princess Jingmin denied it subconsciously, "Father...I didn't..."
Emperor Hui'an was unwilling to listen to her explanation and said coldly, "It is said that the royal family is ruthless, and the father and son are like the monarch and the minister. I only have you as my daughter, so even if you are a little willful and arrogant on weekdays, I am willing to pamper you.
But I didn't expect that I treated you as my daughter, but you never treated me as your father. Do you know that if Gu Jin hadn't rescued me today, I would have been criticized by thousands of people because of you and become a tyrant cursed by the world. From then on, the emperor and his subjects would be alienated and the government would be in chaos. This is a turmoil that will bring disaster to the country, don't you know?"
Princess Jingmin was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head with a look of resentment, and said confidently: "Father, are you completely innocent in this matter?"
"What?" Emperor Hui'an thought he had heard wrongly.
After hearing this, Princess Jingmin became bolder and vented all the dissatisfaction that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time.
"You clearly know my feelings for Xie Ran, but you just won't fulfill my wishes.
You are the supreme ruler, and the power of life and death is in your hands. You only need one order from you to fulfill your wish, but you insist on making your wish come true and cause your wish to be in vain and in great pain. "
When she mentioned this again, Emperor Hui'an was furious, "You still have no sense of shame! Xie Ran already has a wife at home. Do you think that he should do what you want just because you, the princess, do you think he should do it?"
"That's right!" Princess Jingmin's eyes were red with desire. "If the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die. What's more, he asked Xie Ran to divorce his wife and marry a noble royal princess. The Yongchang Marquis' Mansion can only be grateful. Who dares to say no!
But your father is so hesitant that you would rather side with Gu Jin, an outsider, than let your daughter have her wish, so I have no choice but to do it myself!"
Emperor Hui'an looked at his daughter in shock, as if it was the first day he met her. "You...how did you become like this?"
"I have always been like this." Princess Jingmin did not feel guilty, but said indignantly: "Grandmother is right, the royal family should have the pride of the royal family, the world belongs to us, let alone a mere man!
Gu Jin should have asked to leave the house and given Xie Ran to me out of gratitude. Since she doesn't appreciate my kindness, I will destroy her!"
If the emperor could think like the emperor grandmother, she would have got what she wanted long ago. How could she risk doing such a thing?
So if there is any fault, it is the father's fault and has nothing to do with her!
Emperor Hui'an looked at Princess Jingmin in astonishment, then burst into laughter out of anger.
"Do you want to destroy Gu Jin, or do you want to destroy me?"
Princess Jingmin pursed her lips and said nonchalantly, "In history books, which emperor didn't have some romantic affairs? All the women in the world belong to my father. Even if you really like Gu Jin, it's understandable."
She didn't think the matter was that serious. At most, people would just gossip about her for a while. Who would dare to impeach the emperor for such a small matter?
Seeing Princess Jingmin's unrepentant look, the last bit of concern that Emperor Hui'an had for his daughter disappeared.
"If you don't want to go to the Imperial Mausoleum, then don't go."
Princess Jingmin's eyes lit up, thinking that Emperor Hui'an was persuaded by her.
"Since you think that a princess's status entitles you to special privileges, then from today on you are no longer a princess of the Kingdom of Chen. You are no different from any other living being. The imperial mausoleum does not need a commoner to guard it."
"Father!" Princess Jingmin was horrified.
"You just said something right." Emperor Hui'an said in a cold voice, "If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they must die. If this is the case, you must accept all my punishments and do not disobey!
Liu Ren, pass on my order that Princess Jingmin unfortunately fell ill and died on the way to the imperial mausoleum. Let the world know!"
