I just want to die of old age

Chapter 303: The Princess Is Not Unruly

Emperor Jing'an spoke with determination, his eyes piercing through the Empress Dowager like a sharp blade.

"Well, you are worthy of being my son. However, filial piety comes first in the court. No matter what, I am your legal mother. You cannot do anything to me. Otherwise, how will the people of the world talk about you as the emperor?"

Su Yuzhu showed a sly smile on her face. When she heard the Queen Mother's reliance, she curled her lips and said in a loud voice: "The series of policies issued by the emperor have made the people live without worries. Now the people of the world love the emperor and will not have any objections to this matter."

"Besides, it is obvious that the Queen Mother is in poor health and cannot stay in bed due to illness. This matter has nothing to do with the Emperor."

The prince couldn't help but put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly to suppress the smile on his face.

"Sixth sister is right. The Queen Mother is seriously ill and should rest well now."

The two of them cooperated with each other, making the empress dowager so angry that her face turned blue and looked very ugly.

"Emperor, this is the good son and daughter you have brought up. This is how they respect their elders."

"If the elders are not kind, then there is no need to respect them."

When Emperor Jing'an heard what his children said, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he ordered loudly, "Come here, the Queen Mother is seriously ill, lock her up in the Cining Palace, and never let her go out. Serve her well."

Emperor Jing'an emphasized the last sentence, sometimes being alive is not a good thing.

He had plenty of ways to make the Queen Mother's life a living hell, making her unable to live or die.

Only then did the Queen Mother reveal fear in her eyes, but it was too late.

Su Yuzhu glanced downwards.

The third prince and the third princess were kneeling there, their legs trembling constantly, their eyes full of fear, and they were uneasy about the future.

The third princess looked extremely weak. Although she looked afraid, her eyes were mixed with a bit of unwillingness. She kept thinking of countermeasures in her mind.

She thought in horror, her father even punished the empress dowager, what should she do now?

The Third Prince was so scared that he kept begging for mercy: "Father, spare my life. They forced me to do this. I dare not do it."

Emperor Jing'an looked at the Third Prince begging for mercy and couldn't help but flash annoyance in his eyes.

He dared to do things but not take responsibility for them, and he dared to do things like forcing confessions and rebelling, but now he keeps begging for mercy like a coward.

"Well, I know everything. You have been colluding with the Queen Mother and others to plot a rebellion. I have lost my patience with you. Since you are my son, I will spare your life. Someone demote the Third Prince to a commoner and drive him out of the palace."

"No, Father, I will never dare to do that again."

The third prince was unwilling to lose his current wealth and glory, so he kept kneeling and begging for forgiveness.

He would rather die than lose his position as prince.

The third princess, who was his half-sister, hurriedly explained: "Father, my third brother did something wrong because of their instigation. Please give him a chance."

"Prince, Sixth Sister, we are all brothers and sisters connected by blood. Please help and ask for mercy."

Su Yuzhu sneered and said coldly: "How shameless! You two siblings have done more than just this one thing."

The third princess was very nervous and her body was shaking. "Sixth sister, do you have any misunderstandings?"

Su Yuzhu's eyes were as cold as ice chips, and she said coldly: "My brother and I have found out that in addition to the Queen Mother's people, your people also secretly plotted to murder the Crown Princess's sister-in-law some time ago."

The third princess collapsed on the ground. Seeing Su Yuzhu's confident look, she knew that she had the evidence.

The third princess was a scheming woman. When she noticed something strange in the East Palace, she secretly arranged for someone to murder the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince with the help of the Queen Mother.

It was just that she did these things carefully.

I didn't expect that the net of justice is so vast and nothing can escape it.

Emperor Jing'an's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the two of them as if they were dead people.

"You are so bold that you dare to murder the Crown Princess. It seems that I have underestimated you."

Now that he has completely given up on these two children, he cannot leave any future troubles for the prince.

Su Yuzhu took a step forward, stepped on the third princess's hand, and then kept crushing it.

“Ah…” The third princess screamed sharply in pain, scaring the third prince so much that he curled up and looked at Su Yuzhu with horror.

"You have always been scheming. Of course you thought that nothing would leave any evidence. But everything you have done will leave traces."

Su Yuzhu rubbed the ground vigorously with her feet, then loosened her legs and made a suggestion with a smile: "Father, I have an unwelcome request."

Emperor Jing'an looked at the smile on Su Yuzhu's face and instantly knew that she had an idea.

"tell me the story."

"Third sister and Xiao Luochuan love each other deeply, we can't break them up, or else father will grant them a marriage."

The prince couldn't help but loosen his clenched fists, and complained in his heart: Prime Minister Xiao was plotting a rebellion, and the Xiao family and the Manchus cannot escape the crime, and they will at least be exiled.

The third princess was horrified, tears streaming down her face, and she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Father, please don't, I don't want to marry Xiao Luochuan."

Now the Xiao family is full of criminals. She will have no good life if she marries into the family. She can hardly imagine the days ahead.

Emperor Jing'an thought for a moment, then gave a loud order: "You wanted to marry Xiao Luochuan, so I will grant your wish. As for the third prince, he will be demoted to a commoner and will be used as a dowry when you marry him."

When Su Yuzhu heard this, she almost choked on her saliva and complained in her heart. She didn't expect that her father was so humorous.

Su Ziying was quite pitiful, as she became a dowry just like that.

But why do I feel inexplicably happy?

The prince tried hard to hold back his laughter in order to maintain his dignity as the crown prince.

Ignoring the pleas for mercy from the third prince and the third princess, Emperor Jing'an still wrote the imperial decree granting the marriage.

In the end, the Manchu clan of the Li family was exterminated and their property was confiscated, and the main culprit of the Xiao family was beheaded. Only Xiao Luochuan was left. For the sake of the third princess, he was exiled 3,000 miles away to a very desolate place.

Poor couples love everything. The couple who were very loving in their previous life have now become a couple with bad karma.

The two quarreled every day. Xiao Luochuan lost his elegant demeanor, and the third princess lost her gentleness and consideration. The newlywed life of the two suddenly became a mess.

The third princess even hooked up with the escorting soldiers for a bite of steamed bun. In the end, Xiao Luochuan became angry and humiliated, and they both died.

The Zhao Dynasty then developed more rapidly.

With potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, people no longer have to go hungry.

Su Yuzhu also took out cotton seeds and made cotton jackets, quilts and cotton clothes.

Earthen kangs were also introduced into every household, so people no longer had to suffer from the cold.

With the help of explosives, the brutal barbarians were no match for them. They thought it was a punishment from God, and they were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

The Zhao Dynasty unified the world without any effort.

Later, Emperor Jing'an abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne. He named Princess Yuzhen the Princess Zhenguo, and she enjoyed a fief and was favored by two generations of emperors.

Due to Su Yuzhu's existence, women were allowed to take the imperial examinations as an exception, and female faces began to appear in the court one after another.

The queen not only led the harem, but also opened a women's college so that all women could read and write, learn how to make a living, and take the imperial examinations.

They also set up orphanages to take in poor and helpless orphans and the elderly.

The Zhao Dynasty became the most enlightened dynasty in later generations.

Princess Zhenguo never married in her life, but she was loved by everyone, including her father, brothers, and younger generations.

Live a happy and fulfilling life.
