Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 179 Eating Flesh and Sucking Blood
Dongling Palace, Imperial Study.
In the corner, wisps of green smoke rose from the incense burner, and the room was silent.
After Emperor Yingtian took the elixir from Taoist Lingxuan, he felt as if he was twenty years younger, his body filled with endless energy. He was no longer afraid of any conspiracy or trickery, and that sense of control was back!
A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a light tone: "De Shun, bring those memorials over." Those memorials were all about the troubles that Emperor Yingtian had been putting off and didn't want to deal with recently.
Deshun responded happily. He was also amazed. The medicine of the Grand Master was truly a panacea. The emperor looked completely different from just now.
Emperor Yingtian was reviewing memorials when Xuan'er's extremely disappointed look suddenly popped up in his mind. He couldn't help but put down the pen in his hand, secretly regretting that he had not handled the matter properly.
Just as he was regretting, a shadow guard suddenly appeared and whispered to him for a while. Emperor Yingtian's face suddenly became as cold as water.
After a while, a eunuch came to report that the eldest princess was outside the door asking for an audience, and Emperor Yingtian nodded slightly.
The eldest princess walked quickly into the imperial study, with Princess Roujia following closely behind her. A hint of anger was visible on her face. She perfunctorily bowed to Emperor Yingtian and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, may I ask why you granted the marriage between Roujia and Liang Yanqi? My sister only has Roujia as her daughter, so I should have discussed this matter with her first."
Emperor Yingtian's expression was indifferent, and he asked doubtfully, "Oh, is it that my sister is unwilling? But I heard that at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet today, my sister said in public that Roujia and Liang Yanqi are in love, and that my sister has already chosen Liang Yanqi as her son-in-law!"
"My sister is not one to despise the poor or favor the rich, nor to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. I am very pleased, so I issued that imperial decree to help her achieve even greater success!"
Princess Roujia's eyes were blazing with fire as she angrily said, "Uncle, Roujia doesn't like Liang Yanqi. Roujia likes my cousin, the Crown Prince..."
The eldest princess grabbed Roujia's hand and interrupted, "Your Majesty, Liang Yanqi intended to murder Fu'an today. After Cang'er and Fu'an left, he committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Therefore, Liang Yanqi is dead, and Roujia cannot be promised to him. I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order!"
Emperor Yingtian had a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes held a clear warning. He said calmly, "I am the True Dragon Emperor. My words are as good as gold. Now that the imperial edict has been read out in public, it has been announced to the world. How can I take it back?"
The eldest princess's heart was boiling with anger. She didn't notice Emperor Yingtian's displeasure, but said coldly, "If that's the case, won't Roujia be a widow for the rest of her life?"
Emperor Yingtian's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "If she doesn't want to be the princess, then the imperial decree will not bind her, and she can marry anyone she wants!"
Emperor Yingtian's words choked the princess, her face turning slightly purple. She was silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "Has Your Majesty forgotten the agreement we made a few days ago? If Fu'an needs to marry far away in the future, Roujia is willing to marry in her place. This way, Fu'an can stay in front of Your Majesty and fulfill her filial duties. So how can you give Roujia to someone else?"
"Crack~"
Emperor Yingtian slammed his desk hard and said coldly, "Sister, do you still think I'm blind and deaf? Today, everyone in Shengjing knows about Roujia and Liang Yanqi's affair!"
"The marriage between the two countries is supposed to be a good alliance between Qin and Jin, but if Dongling marries a woman who has lost her virginity, I'm afraid it won't be a good relationship, and it will even cause resentment. How dare my sister bring up the idea of a proxy marriage?"
Princess Roujia hid behind the eldest princess, feeling embarrassed and angry. Her face flushed red, and her eyes filled with tears. She choked and said, "Uncle, how could you say such harsh words?"
Emperor Yingtian put on a sarcastic smile and said in a deep voice, "Is what I said not true?" His face suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly, "Kneel down!"
Princess Roujia was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a plop. The eldest princess also knelt down hurriedly and said softly, "Your Majesty, Jia'er has been spoiled by your sister. Please forgive her this time!"
"Spare her?" Emperor Yingtian snorted coldly and said calmly, "I remember that's what my sister said last time. She also said that she would discipline her well and treat Fu'an like her own daughter..."
"But my sister's daughter is arrogant and domineering, with a vicious mind. She even colluded with Liang Yanqi to ruin the reputation of Fu'an women. She deserves death!"
The eldest princess quickly shook her head and pleaded, "Your Majesty, Roujia is just a child. How could she have planned such a meticulous plan? Your Majesty has misunderstood Roujia. She is a good child..."
"Yes!" Emperor Yingtian nodded slightly, as if he agreed with the eldest princess' words very much. The eldest princess was happy that the emperor still listened to her, but Emperor Yingtian's next words were like a thunderclap exploding over her head.
Emperor Yingtian chuckled and said, "Since Roujia couldn't come up with such a plan, then it must have been planned by my sister, right?"
The eldest princess' pupils suddenly shrank and her heart began to beat wildly. She hurriedly shook her head and said quickly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood, I have not planned anything!" But her words were pale and weak and unconvincing.
Emperor Yingtian, however, continued, "I even have some doubts. Was the horse fright in Fu'an also orchestrated by my sister?"
"Also, my sister should also tell us how we killed all the imperial guards escorting Fu'an on the way today!"
The eldest princess was so frightened that her face turned pale as paper. She knelt there motionless, like a puppet with its strings cut. A voice echoed in her heart: It's over, it's all over!
Princess Roujia was trembling with fear. She poked the eldest princess, and the princess's mind became clearer.
She leaned on the ground and whispered, "Your Majesty, we are willing to accept the imperial decree. Roujia will remain a widow for Liang Yanqi. She will stay quietly in the Princess's residence and will never come out to bring shame to the royal family!"
She was submissive in words, but hatred was boiling in her heart. She wanted to immediately pull Emperor Yingtian off the throne and support an obedient person to take the throne, such as the third prince.
Emperor Yingtian nodded slightly and said calmly, "How does your Royal Sister wish to make amends to Fu'an?"
The eldest princess tried her best to suppress her emotions. The emperor was trying to devour her flesh and suck her blood. It was simply abominable. She took a deep breath and said softly, "Fu'an was frightened at my chrysanthemum viewing banquet today. He deserves some compensation! I am willing to give Fu'an a year's harvest from my fiefdom to calm his nerves!"
The princess looked up at Emperor Yingtian, but saw that he had a dull expression and didn't respond. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with her offer. Her emotions were on the verge of a rage, and she said urgently, "Add five more shops on Liuli Street..."
Emperor Yingtian still didn't nod. The princess gritted her teeth and continued, "And a hundred acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing."
Emperor Yingtian finally smiled again. He said calmly, "I will keep these things for Fu'an for the time being. When she gets married in the future, she can use them as a dowry!"
The eldest princess was furious and wanted to leave immediately. However, when she reached the door of the imperial study, the voice of Emperor Yingtian came faintly: "My sister, please behave yourself in the future. If you try to form cliques or interfere in state affairs again, I will not be polite..."
