Chapter 82 I Don’t Want to Enter the Palace
Liang Jingyao smiled helplessly. Why does everyone want Yue'er?
"Princess, you may not know that Jingyi also asked me for Mu Yao, but this is really not up to me to decide. Whether Mu Yao is willing or not depends on himself."
Princess Mingzhu knocked on Liang Jingyao's head and said with a smile, "You are such a coward! Then I will talk to Mu Yao myself. If she is willing, you are not allowed to stop her!"
Liang Jingyao quickly grabbed Princess Mingzhu and said reluctantly, "Can't we just replace her with someone else? Mu Yao isn't familiar with the palace. If something goes wrong in the palace, we won't be able to get in and save her in time!"
Princess Mingzhu tutted her lips and teased, "You really have forgotten about your sister now that you have a lover. Don't worry, I can send her in and protect her!"
Liang Jingyao followed Princess Mingzhu nervously. He knew that the princess had no one to use, but he really couldn't bear to let Yue'er go!
"Princess, why don't you think about it again? Imperial sister? Eldest imperial sister!"
Princess Mingzhu turned around and glared at Liang Jingyao, "Look at you, you're so useless! Don't you always call me Princess? How can you be willing to call me Imperial Sister?"
Liang Jingyao was so embarrassed that he was about to go crazy. The palace was a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones. He really didn't want to send Lin Xiaoyue to take risks!
"Royal sister, if Mu Yao agrees to your request, I will follow her into the palace. Otherwise, I won't agree! I only trust you here. Apart from you, I don't trust anyone else!"
Princess Mingzhu stopped joking this time and said seriously, "Think carefully. Even if Mu Yao came into the palace and committed murder or arson, I could still rescue her. But you are different. If Emperor Liang recognized you, do you think you could leave the palace alive?"
Liang Jingyao said with certainty: "I understand, but I must accompany her. Wherever she goes, I will go!"
Princess Mingzhu looked at her infatuated brother and felt a wave of tenderness. Should she just let it go? Emperor Liang might not be so cold-blooded and heartless...
Liang Jingyao didn't get an answer, and it was like a small drum in his heart, beating "dong dong dong". He looked up and wanted to continue persuading the princess, but saw Lin Xiaoyue appeared in front of him, "You, why are you here?"
Lin Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and pointed at the table in front of her. The two people were almost walking to the table. How could she not know what they were talking about?
"I heard the eldest princess talking about me, so I came here. I don't like others making choices for me!"
Princess Mingzhu chuckled, placed a hand on Lin Xiaoyue's shoulder, and praised her, "I really like your personality. You're smart and good at talking. Jingyao rarely likes to be humiliated! Since you heard it, I'll speak frankly! I think the Queen Mother is in danger in the palace. She is my mother, and I am very worried about her, so I hope you can come to the palace to accompany me. Are you willing?"
Lin Xiaoyue had just heard all these things. The reason she stood up was because she had finally gained freedom and didn't want to fall into the fire pit again!
"Princess, I'm used to being idle. I'm restricted everywhere in the palace. I don't want to enter the palace."
Princess Mingzhu didn't expect Lin Xiaoyue to refuse so bluntly, and she felt a little embarrassed. "Would you like to consider it? I can give you a lot of benefits."
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "Life is precious, but love is more precious. If it's against freedom, both can be thrown away!"
If it is for freedom, can both be abandoned?
Princess Mingzhu envied Lin Xiaoyue's free and decisive personality. No wonder Jing Yao, who was so arrogant, couldn't let go of such a woman! However, Jing Yao might have to go through some trouble to get such a free heart!
Princess Mingzhu smiled faintly and nodded, saying, "Okay, forget it then. I'll send someone else into the palace tomorrow!"
Lin Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. If Emperor Liang knew that an exiled person appeared in the palace, her fate would definitely be miserable!
She doesn't want to joke with her life!
"I'm sorry, Princess."
Princess Mingzhu rubbed Lin Xiaoyue's head and said, "Don't worry, you are someone Jingyao values, I will definitely not make things difficult for you. The capital has been unstable recently, so try not to go out. If there is anything, let the maid I give you handle it. Remember, in this mansion, only the people I give you can be trusted!"
Lin Xiaoyue suddenly felt that the eldest princess was quite pitiful. Her husband died early, and her son had to guard the border all year round in order to compete for the position of crown prince. Even her own mansion was planted with spies. It seemed as if an invisible hand wanted to destroy the eldest princess!
Alas! What does it matter if you have the most noble status? It's still like being in prison!
"Princess, I plan to leave the capital tomorrow. I'm really sorry that I can't help you. You should take care of yourself!"
The sudden farewell surprised both Princess Mingzhu and Liang Jingyao, especially Liang Jingyao. Lin Xiaoyue had promised him that she would stay for a few more days, so how could she leave so suddenly? Was she afraid that the princess would send her back to the palace?
Liang Jingyao smiled apologetically at the princess, pulled Lin Xiaoyue to a corner and asked, "Why did you change your mind again? The princess said she wouldn't make things difficult for you and she definitely wouldn't send you to the palace. Don't worry, I'm here."
Lin Xiaoyue wasn't worried, but had other plans. She explained to Liang Jingyao, "Brother Liang, the Empress Dowager first fell ill when Emperor Liang drove you away. At that time, it was the Empress Dowager who opposed Emperor Liang's actions. Although we didn't know about the other times in between, now that the Empress Dowager is ill again, I always feel that the Empress Dowager is opposed to Emperor Liang's actions. It's just that we don't know what Emperor Liang is going to do."
"I'm leaving not because I'm worried about going to the palace, but because I'm afraid that Emperor Liang's next move might target you. After all, anything that could cause the Queen Mother to oppose it is probably related to her closest relatives. Both you and the Princess are at risk, so I don't want you to stay here and take the risk. Let's go first!"
Liang Jingyao felt that what Lin Xiaoyue said made sense, but the eldest princess was his royal sister and he had grown up with her. Now that she was in trouble, although he couldn't help much, at least he could stay here with her. He really couldn't just leave.
Just when Liang Jingyao was in a dilemma, a shrill voice came from outside, "Princess, please accept the order!"
What imperial decree could come so late at night?
Liang Jingyao frowned, feeling that something bad was going to happen! So, he quickly pulled Lin Xiaoyue to a secluded place to listen to the contents of the imperial edict.
The eldest princess didn't want the eunuch to come in, so she quickly went out to greet him, "Xiao Dezi, why are you here? Has the Queen Mother's condition worsened again?"
Xiao Dezi didn't answer. He opened the imperial edict and read, "By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Princess Mingzhu and her son have been separated for many years. I now summon Zheng Jiacheng back to the capital, appoint him as the Crown Prince, and grant him marriage to Princess Anyi. On the day of the wedding, he will inherit the title of Prince Anle. I decree this!"
The eldest princess stared at the imperial edict falling from her hand for a long time, unable to recover. Isn't Princess Anyi the same as Jingyi? Didn't the emperor already depose her and drive her out of the palace?
Why did she arrange a marriage for her own son? What was going on?
