Outside the palace, there was endless night.

The dim light from the palace lanterns illuminated a tall figure walking slowly in.

She took off her palace dress and wore only white clothes with a veil on her face.

"Wang Zhaorong pays respect to His Majesty."

Wang Zhaorong? Emperor Mingde looked at the familiar figure kneeling below and almost jumped up.

[The Crown Princess is still alive? 】

[The fire was so big that the Taihua Palace in the East Palace where the crown prince lived was reduced to rubble. How could the crown princess still be alive? What about the crown prince? What about the little grandson? ]

[Gu Tai, you are a useless thing. Is this the errand you went to do in person? ]

[Is the Crown Prince still alive? He and the Crown Princess went to Queen Mother to complain. Is that why Queen Mother came here so late at night? ]

Emperor Mingde looked unhappy and glanced around. Fortunately, the eunuch had just summoned the Queen Mother to enter the palace. He waved his hand to signal Concubine Xi, Concubine Li and others to leave through the side door of the palace.

Otherwise, if the concubines knew that the Crown Princess was still alive, there would be trouble.

After all, all the concubines in the harem have officials from the previous dynasty imprisoned. Especially the father of the Western Concubine, the Prime Minister, is really a difficult old fox.

Emperor Mingde glanced at the chief eunuch beside him. The chief eunuch immediately understood and signaled the young eunuch beside him to summon General Gu.

Tsk tsk, look at this, this dog emperor is so cruel that he can kill his own son and grandson. He can't kill them, but he still feels uncomfortable.

Sumi didn't understand. The book clearly stated that the prince and his wife died in the fire, leaving only the little crown prince alive. The rest of the story was about the elder brother and the King of Yan assisting the little crown prince to seize the world from the dog emperor.

But,

How did the story change? "Wang Zhaorong?"

Emperor Mingde sneered, "The Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion. As the Crown Princess, you should be in cahoots with him. You didn't die in the sea of ​​fire out of fear of the crime, but appeared before me? How dare you deceive the Queen Mother?"

"My son, the crown prince and the crown prince are dead. They are your sons and grandsons. They are also my grandsons and great-grandsons."

It was rare for the Queen Dowager Xuan to get angry with the emperor, and she stared at Emperor Mingde with cold eyes.

"Things have already come to this, and I won't say much more. But since I brought this Crown Princess here, there's no need for me to talk about the past. It's better to listen to what the Crown Princess wants to say to you, my son."

[You are such a cruel little enemy! I know you are angry with your father, dislike the late queen, and dislike the crown prince. But now that you have firmly established yourself on the throne, why do you have to kill the East Palace so ruthlessly?]

[The prince is deeply loved by the people and the court officials. Your suspicious nature has come back again. You always feel that everyone in the world wants to harm you.]

[You are now in your forties, in the prime of life. It is also because the crown prince showed too much talent. The late emperor was too partial to the crown prince. That led to the current disaster.]

[My son, your father killed his own son and wiped out his entire family. This is a great sin. Your mother did not discover it in time and did not stop you. The mistake has been made, so do not commit further murder.]

Queen Dowager Xuan turned these words over and over in her mind, unable to question her son in front of so many people. After all, her son was the emperor.

This old lady is really nice.

Su Mi heard Queen Dowager Xuan's thoughts carefully.

No wonder my grandmother went to the old queen mother to plead for mercy, and every time she asked, she got what she asked. This was not only because of their long-standing friendship, but also because the queen mother Xuan was really kind-hearted.

How could Emperor Mingde be so bad? He doesn't look like his mother or his father. Could it be that he was replaced when he was young? Hehe,

Sumi was amused by her own imagination.

The late emperor was such a shrewd person. He knew Yan Shiba was not his offspring, so he had already set the tone and made Yan Shiba give up the desire to fight for the throne. If this dog emperor was really not the late emperor's offspring, the late emperor would not have allowed him to take the throne.

"The past is like smoke, gone with the wind. Wang Zhaorong requests the emperor to allow me to leave the palace."

Crown Princess Wang Zhaorong knelt on the ground, her voice was light, as if what she was talking about had nothing to do with her. She didn't look like a woman whose husband and child had just died.

[I lied to the Queen Mother that the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince's grandson had been burned to death, and I was rescued but my face was destroyed. Now I just want to see the Emperor and tell him the Crown Prince's last words. Then I will ask to leave the palace, and live out my life alone under the lamp and the Buddha. In fact, my son is not dead, but has been rescued. No matter what, I have to leave the palace with my life, go out to find my son, and raise him up.]

Tsk tsk,

Su Mi sighed in her heart. Alas, this palace is really not a place for people to stay. Anyone, regardless of gender, has eight hundred minds. She is really not suitable for the imperial city. She should be exiled quickly. Otherwise, if she continues to stay here, she will not know how she will die one day.

The plot really follows the original book, the Crown Prince was rescued. The only surprise is that the Crown Princess is still alive.

"The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince are dead. They will not be at peace on their way to the underworld without you by their side."

Su Mi was really vomiting in her heart when she heard what Emperor Mingde said. It was indeed worthy of being an imperial family. These two people used the most ordinary tone, but said the most ruthless and terrible words.

"The Emperor knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was buried in the sea of ​​fire, but he didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the opportunity to leave. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want to leave. He held my son in his arms and walked towards the sea of ​​fire step by step, without looking back, willing to be burned to death."

Wang Zhaorong's voice did not tremble at all. "He finally asked me to bring a message to the emperor. If the monarch wants his subject to die, the subject must die. If the father wants his son to die, the son must die."

King Yan's body shook, and Su Mi, who was closer to him, saw his eyes light up instantly. It was a wolf-like gaze, shining brightly in the night, bloodthirsty and cold.

[His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is stupid. When I arrived, I could have saved him, but he refused to leave. He just sat in the sea of ​​fire and burned himself to death. This is what he said to me: If the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects must die; if the father wants his son to die, the son must die.]

[He told me that the crown prince was taken away by his adviser. The one who was burned to death in the sea of ​​fire was the adviser's son.]

[He gave the last dragon guard to me. Those were the dragon guards given to him by my father. My father did not give his dragon guards to my brother, but left them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.]

[He sat in the sea of ​​fire, smiling at me, and said to me, Uncle, I will entrust the city discipline to you and Zhenbei]

[In this world, only Zhenbei can rival the emperor, and only the emperor's uncle can raise the emperor's grandson. ]

[But I watched helplessly as the Crown Princess stepped into the sea of ​​fire and died for the Crown Prince. Why is she still alive? ]

Tsk tsk, Sumi heard everything about Prince Yan's thoughts. She was too close to him, so she had no choice but to listen. This is the real secret history of the royal family.

"Your Majesty, how can there be deep love and loyalty in a royal marriage? My son is dead, and my heart is dead too. My life has been ruined by this marriage. I don't want to be a royal wife in the underworld. I just want to stay away from the capital, away from the people, in a lonely thatched cottage, and live out the rest of my life."

Tsk tsk, this Crown Princess is really willing to say anything in order to leave safely and find her son.

When I was reading the book, I clearly remembered that the book said that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince had a deep love and affection for each other. Otherwise, the original book would not have written that the Crown Prince burned himself to death and the Crown Princess died with him.

Sure enough, love is very important to women, but when they become mothers, children are more important than love.
