She was the most honorable eldest princess of the late emperor. This name not only represented honor, but also represented her father's expectations and sighs for her.
But it’s my father.
You don't have to sigh.
It doesn’t matter that I’m a woman. Millions of years ago, there was no rule that said women couldn’t be emperors. Rules are made by people. Men are people, and women are people too!
If that’s the case, then why can’t I defend the borders and why can’t I become emperor?
......
The news that the eldest princess led the imperial doctors to the plague area to treat illnesses soon reached the palace.
today.
Pei Changying finally found out.
When he heard that the princess had used the prescription given by Gu Sang to treat illnesses and save lives, he was furious! Rage surged in waves!
How dare Pei Weiqi do that!
She clearly lived outside the palace, so how could she know where the epidemic was and how could she know that the Imperial Hospital had prescriptions?
There is a spy in the palace!
Pei Changying ordered an investigation, and in just half a day, he found out that it was Concubine Zhao who wrote a letter privately to the eldest princess, which made the eldest princess aware of the epidemic.
"Bitch! Bitch!!"
"Damn Gu Sang, she must have brainwashed these concubines!"
"Go! Capture Concubine Zhao immediately!"
The guards acted quickly, and within the time it took to stick of incense, Concubine Zhao was brought to the main hall.
The once noble concubine was thrown to the ground by Pei Changying.
The headdress fell all over the floor, and he looked very embarrassed.
Pei Changying stared down at Concubine Zhao, his eyes cold and murderous: "Concubine Zhao! Tell me, why did you betray me?"
Concubine Zhao knelt on the ground miserably, shaking her head and crying: "I have never betrayed the emperor. I just can't bear to see the people of the world suffer."
"Your Majesty, those are your people. How could you be so cruel as to ignore them?"
Pei Changying's eyes were filled with coldness.
He raised his hand and slapped Concubine Zhao in the face!
Suddenly!
Concubine Zhao was thrown to the ground and her face turned red.
Pei Changying suppressed the urge to stab her to death and said coldly, "You are just a concubine, who gave you the courage to meddle in the affairs of the people of the world!"
"What's more, I'm waiting for Gu Sang to admit his mistake! As long as I insist, Gu Sang will definitely relent and come back to admit his mistake."
"It's all because of you acting on your own, bitch! I really want to chop you down with a knife! If it weren't for the fact that you saved the people, I would have stripped you of your concubine status on the spot and banished you to the cold palace."
Concubine Zhao covered her face, which was trembling with pain, and looked down at the smooth marble floor, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
Cold Palace?
Demotion of concubine?
In the past, she still cared about her status and family honor.
But now, she doesn't care!
Living in this cage-like palace, she lives a numb life every day, fighting for favors all the time. She has had enough!
She remembered the year Sister Sang was imprisoned in the cold palace, she had said: "If my life is destined to be trapped in the deep palace, full of jealousy and quarrels, then I will be a walking corpse, no different from death."
"It is better to burn out your life, even if it is brilliant for a moment, than to be unhappy for the rest of your life."
now.
Zhaopin has seen the freedom of modern women, and she also feels that it is better to bloom for a while than to be trapped in the deep palace for a lifetime!
Pei Changying did not make things difficult for Concubine Zhao after all. In front of the ministers, he did not dare to kill Concubine Zhao openly. He only fined her salary for three months as a warning.
As the emperor, he must not punish Concubine Zhao for saving the people!
That would only make the ministers and the people complain and feel disappointed!
In contrast, after Concubine Zhao returned from the hall, she sat in her chair for a long time in a daze.
She knew in her heart that although the emperor had let her go on the surface, he would definitely find an excuse to take revenge on her in secret.
So, when she returned to the palace, she summoned all the palace servants.
After arranging the retreat for the palace maids, Concubine Zhao suddenly revealed a relaxed smile. She looked at the palace maids kneeling on the ground and said, "Those who want to leave the palace, please leave quickly. I have already made arrangements."
"If you stay here, you will only be implicated by me."
"Your Majesty, you are so heartless."
"Let's all go. If it's any later, we might not be able to leave."
The palace servants wept and knelt down to kowtow, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for arranging a way out for us servants."
Concubine Zhao just sat in the courtyard and watched the palace maid leave with the money.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people.
Sudden.
A palace maid came in quietly and knelt in front of Concubine Zhao, crying.
"Thank you, Madam, for allowing me to leave the palace. I will never forget your kindness and will burn three sticks of incense a day at home to pray for your blessings."
This palace maid was the confused one when Gu Sang first connected with her.
Ever since she got inspiration from Gu Sang, she has been looking for various ways to leave the palace.
But according to the palace rules, one has to wait for a chance to leave the palace after turning 25. If it weren't for Concubine Zhao's kindness, she didn't know how long she would have to wait.
Hearing the maid's words of gratitude, Concubine Zhao chuckled: "I am not a deity, I do not need incense and tribute."
"If I were truly a deity, I would go to Sister Sang and never come back."
"Let's go, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!"
The palace maid left, looking back every few steps.
The entire palace was empty, with only Concubine Zhao left.
Concubine Zhao laughed out loud as she looked at the deserted palace.
Concubine position?
Concubine?
The throne? It's not even as free as Sister Sang's world!
She slowly stood up and danced at the crescent moon projected in the darkness.
This moment.
She seemed to have returned to a few years ago, on that bright moonlit night, she was dancing in the courtyard to the sound of the flute, while her lover stood by and watched her...
"Madam Zhao, the Emperor has ordered you to come with me!"
The eunuch's unique sharp voice broke the warm memories at this time.
Are you here?
bring it on.
She is not afraid of anything anymore.
