Chapter 149 The Crown Prince is a Woman 1
The person who rebelled was Jian Ninghua, the daughter of the current general.
Jian Ninghua is a man dressed as a woman.
The military power was in the hands of General Jian, so the emperor was naturally wary of him. However, foreign tribes were eyeing him covetously, and the Pei Dynasty valued culture over politics. Apart from General Jian, there was no other general worthy of being appointed in the court.
Although the emperor was afraid of General Jian, he also knew that as long as General Jian was there, those foreign tribes who were eyeing him would not dare to act rashly.
But even though he knew it, the emperor was still worried that General Jian would rebel after having a son.
So before Jian Ninghua, General Jian had two sons, both of whom died after various accidents.
It is obviously unlikely that they didn't know it was the emperor who did it.
But General Jian was a bit foolishly loyal. Even though he knew it, he remained loyal to the Pei Dynasty.
General Jian's wife was not like General Jian. She hated the emperor who killed her two children and was full of resentment towards the entire Pei Dynasty.
Jian Ninghua was her third son. She didn't want her son to die again in the emperor's suspicion, so she told others that he was a girl.
After the emperor confirmed that it was indeed a girl, he did not take any further action, and Jian Ninghua grew up safely.
Naturally, Mrs. Jian told Jian Ninghua all her resentment towards the emperor and the Pei Dynasty.
Although he claimed to be a woman, he was still educated and learned what men should learn. Madam Jian even instilled hatred for the Pei Dynasty in him. Madam Jian also hired someone to teach him how to be a king, with the idea of overthrowing the Pei Dynasty.
When Pei Siyi was fifteen years old, Jian Ninghua was twenty years old.
The emperor was quite satisfied that 20-year-old Jian Ninghua had not married. After all, no matter which family in the court the Jian family married, the emperor would not be satisfied. And if the emperor was satisfied, he probably would not be satisfied with the Jian family. In this case, it would be better for her not to get married.
When Pei Siyi and Jian Ninghua met, Pei Siyi was wearing women's clothes and Jian Ninghua was wearing men's clothes, which was their original appearance.
They both disliked the emperor and the Pei Dynasty, and the two of them hit it off right away.
What Pei Siyi longs for most is freedom. The palace is too restrictive for her. Her biggest dream is to walk out of the imperial city and see the outside world.
Jian Ninghua didn't know what he was looking forward to most. Since he was a child, he had been deeply hated by his mother. If his mother said she wanted revenge, then he would take revenge. If his mother said she wanted to overthrow the Pei Dynasty, then he would overthrow the Pei Dynasty.
But what about his own thoughts? He didn't know.
Jian Ninghua didn't know that Pei Siyi was the current crown prince, but Pei Siyi knew that Jian Ninghua must be General Jian's son. The revenge he talked about was also revenge against the Pei family.
It’s not that Pei Siyi is very smart, but Jian Ninghua is somewhat similar to General Jian, and coupled with his two dead brothers, Pei Siyi can easily make the connection.
After all, she is the crown prince, and she knows more than Jian Ninghua, who is trapped in the inner chambers.
Pei Siyi was very excited about what Jian Ninghua said about revenge.
It doesn't matter whether the Pei Dynasty exists or not. General Jian serves the country and the people. When he or his son comes to power one day, they will definitely not treat the people harshly. In this case, what does it matter if the Pei Dynasty is destroyed?
After separating from Jian Ninghua, Pei Siyi contacted Jian Ninghua in the identity of a prince in men's clothing, took the initiative to show his goodwill to him, and said that he would help him succeed.
At first, Jian Ninghua was naturally wary and refused to admit it, but Pei Siyi was sincere.
In addition, she met Jian Ninghua as a woman, and used her identity as a man to help him with all the information she got from Jian Ninghua.
Even though Jian Ninghua was still wary, he also believed Prince Pei a little.
When Pei Siyi met Jian Ninghua for the first time in men's clothing, he was wearing a mask on his face.
Jian Ninghua asked him what he wanted, and Pei Siyi only said that he hoped that after he succeeded, he would be given a chance to live and sent out of the imperial city.
It was so simple, there was nothing for Jian Ninghua to refuse.
With Pei Siyi as the traitor, Jian Ninghua's progress can be said to be rapid.
Tanhualang discovered the problem with Pei Siyi's identity, but Pei Siyi threatened him: "If you tell others about my identity, I can accuse you of hysteria and nonsense. Whether they believe it or not, you, your family, and your sweetheart will definitely die."
"Even if they doubt my identity, this world still belongs to the Pei family. If they insist on a physical examination, I can still fool them. I'm still fine, but you, your family, and your sweetheart may not be."
"You have to think carefully. Do you want to be your consort and live in love with your sweetheart? Or do you want to commit suicide? Then you and your family will be together in the underworld."
The third place winner came from a humble family and had no complicated power behind him. Even though he was angry when Pei Siyi threatened him, he could do nothing about it.
Everything was going according to Pei Siyi's original idea.
However, the emperor loves to commit suicide.
Pei Siyi had already changed back into women's clothes to get married, but the emperor still wanted her to get married in men's clothes.
Even if the emperor was her father, she wanted to kill him.
Pei Siyi got married despite being a man. His wife was Jian Ninghua, who couldn't get married in General Jian's family.
On the day of her wedding, not only Pei Siyi but also Jian Ninghua and the third place winner who knew Pei Siyi's identity had complicated feelings.
Tanhualang still disliked Pei Siyi and was not polite to her, but seeing that Pei Siyi was obviously a woman but had to dress up as a man to marry a wife, he felt complicated and couldn't help but feel a bit of pity when he looked at Pei Siyi.
Pei Siyi really didn't bother to pay attention to the third place winner who sympathized with her.
After marrying Jian Ninghua, Pei Siyi either avoided her or wore a mask all the time.
However, after marrying Jian Ninghua, what they originally wanted to do became much easier.
Jian Ninghua is not stupid. If he didn't notice anything at the beginning, how could he not know anything after marrying Pei Siyi?
Pei Siyi was also wary of Jian Ninghua.
The two of them could be said to be countering each other's moves, but in the end Pei Siyi was still discovered by Jian Ninghua.
After being discovered, Pei Siyi said directly: "We are both in the same boat. When the matter is done, you can just let me go. Don't worry, I will definitely not come back to bother you again."
Pei Siyi is open-minded and only wants to leave the imperial city and run towards freedom.
But Jian Ninghua was not so frank.
There is something ambiguous between the two of them.
But Pei Siyi didn't think they could be together, and she really hated this imperial city, so even though she liked Jian Ninghua, she wanted freedom more.
As for Jian Ninghua, it was fine when he didn't know Pei Siyi's identity at first, but now that he knew, he felt extremely complicated.
He liked Pei Siyi and didn't want to let her go, but his mother was full of resentment towards the entire Pei family and would never agree to him being with Pei Siyi.
But he still didn't want to let her go.
Jian Ninghua's rebellion was successful, the Pei Dynasty was overthrown, and Pei Siyi, who should have been free, was imprisoned by Jian Ninghua.
The eagle that was supposed to soar now had its wings broken, and Pei Siyi never gave Jian Ninghua a good look again.
But Jian Ninghua didn't care. He just kept her by his side according to his own ideas.
But even if they stayed by each other's side, there would still be no good ending for the two of them.
General Jian could not accept that his son had rebelled. He wanted to die to atone for his crime, but there were no useful generals in the court, so he went directly to the border and vowed never to leave. He was even unwilling to acknowledge Jian Ninghua as his son, and wanted to divorce Mrs. Jian.
Mrs. Jian was about to be pissed off by General Jian, and after knowing about Pei Siyi's existence, he couldn't help but torture her.
Jian Ninghua couldn't protect Pei Siyi. He grew up under the oppression of Madam Jian, who habitually controlled everything about him.
Pei Siyi was originally an accident under her control, but now this accident no longer exists.
Pei Siyi is a person with her own pride. She was originally trying to find a way to leave, but was later discovered by Mrs. Jian and was even planning to discuss cooperation with her.
But Mrs. Jian only wanted to torture Pei Siyi because of General Jian's affairs.
After realizing that he might not be able to escape and would be trapped in the imperial city for the rest of his life, Pei Siyi ended his life very decisively.
Jian Ninghua is a waste.
He couldn't protect Pei Siyi, he couldn't even protect her body.
In the end, it was Tanhua Lang who buried Pei Siyi. He took Pei Siyi's body out of the imperial city, which fulfilled Pei Siyi's wish to leave.
