Chapter 156 The Great Good Man
Chapter 156 The Great Good Man
"This first slap is because you were trying so hard to steal my Hongshi."
"This second slap is because you used me so many times and finally forced me to death."
Seeing Yixiu calm down, Su He shook his hands, then gave a perfect smile and looked at her seriously.
"Am I very kind?"
Yi Xiu recovered and looked at Su He with disdain, "An idiot is an idiot. If I were you, I would have killed you long ago to avenge my past life."
Su He smiled sweetly, "How do you know that sometimes living is truly painful?"
"Concubine Qi, you are a vicious woman."
"Hey, tell me what you want to say. The more sins you commit, the more suffering Honghui will have to endure in the underworld. Don't even think about committing suicide. Suicide is a serious sin, especially for a person like you who is guilty of this."
Yixiu stood up, ignored Su He, and walked towards the door in a daze.
"Yi Xiu."
The queen paused and did not look back.
"Is it so difficult for you to not harm others and live a good life? Even for Honghui, can't you do it?"
The queen stood there for a long time before she spoke in a trembling voice.
"Honghui, is Honghui's life in the underworld really that miserable?"
"You are wrong, Honghui is not in the underworld, he is in hell!"
The queen shook her body, held onto the door frame, then took a step and left quickly.
When Cuiguo and others saw the queen leaving, they hurried in.
"My queen, you weren't bullied, were you? Did the queen hurt you?"
"No, your wife is fine."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is here. She wanted to come in, but this servant stopped her."
"Yeah, well done. She's got this big belly. It would be bad if she gets hurt by mistake."
"Hong Tao, go and tell Concubine Jing that you are safe."
"My Lady, I heard everything you said at the door. Didn't you come from a very far place? Why did you say you were reborn? Are you Concubine Qi?"
"Who do you want me to be?"
"It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's the current queen."
Su He tapped Cui Guo's forehead and said, "You are very clear-headed. I lied to the queen."
"Then your Majesty, are you also lying to the Queen about the eldest prince?"
"Let's count it as half. The blessings of the predecessors will benefit the descendants, but naturally there will also be disasters for the descendants because of the predecessors' damaged virtues. The cycle of cause and effect in this world never stops, so I am not deceiving the queen."
"My Lady, is there really a past life? My Lady, what about me? How did I die in my past life?"
"You don't have those messed up memories, so where did your past life come from?"
"Even if there is, it's good enough that you live peacefully in this life."
"Then does the lady want revenge?"
"Of course. Look at the Queen's mental state when she left. Isn't this good?"
"And I also crushed the wish-fulfilling pill. I'm sure that every night from now on, the queen will dream about her eldest son being tortured. Look at me, I care so much about the queen that I let her son, whom she misses day and night, meet him in her dreams every day. I am really a kind person."
Cuiguo wiped the non-existent cold sweat from her forehead and said, "Your Majesty, when you left, didn't you ask the Queen that she should turn over a new leaf?"
"No, at the time of her rebirth, she has no chance to change her and Honghui's fate. The only thing left is revenge."
"I'm afraid she'll go too crazy and kill the emperor while I'm not paying attention."
紫禁城
Princess Chaogui did not sleep all night. She put on the clothes of Princess Heshuo early and waited at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The ministers who were attending the morning court arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony one after another, lined up, and looked at the person wearing the princess's uniform.
"Which princess is this?"
"Can't you even see this?"
"Nonsense, it's not even daybreak yet, how can I tell?"
"I guess this is Princess Chaogui."
"Princess Chaogui? What is she doing here?"
"What else can it be for? A marriage alliance."
"But didn't we hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet some time ago?"
"So what? Even if we are engaged, we have to regret the marriage at this point."
"Then she didn't come here to cause trouble with the emperor, did she?"
"Humph, what's the big deal? Can you twist your arm over your thigh?"
"If you ask me, Princess Chaogui is just ignorant. What's wrong with marrying a foreign prince? She is marrying a Khan, who is also a king. With Princess Chaogui's status, what kind of a consort can she find? It's better for her to marry a foreign prince."
"That's right, what's there to make a fuss about? How can a woman like them enter the imperial court?"
A clear female voice broke the silence under the dark blue morning sky.
"What are you guys talking about? Why don't you speak a little more so that everyone can hear?"
The ministers who were chattering just now suddenly became as quiet as chickens.
"Why, why are the adults silent?"
One of the chubby middle-aged men said with a big smile on his face, "Master Geng, we are just chatting casually."
The other adults also nodded and bowed, fearing that they would anger the female king of hell, who had just entered as a concubine the last time.
Chao Gui walked over and held the woman's hand, "Empress Yu, I'm fine."
Yubin looked at Chaogui with a worried look on her face, and Chaogui nodded to indicate that she didn't need to worry.
When the time came, the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony opened and officials filed in.
Yinzhen sat at the top, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
"I have a starting point."
Yinzhen's eyes lit up, "Master Geng, have you made any new progress on explosives?"
"I am blessed to have the emperor's trust. There is no new progress at the moment. I have other things to report."
"You said."
"I would like to criticize Mr. Xu, the Junior Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Wang, the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Mr. Bai, the Attendant Scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Mr. Sun, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Mr. Tan, the Deputy Commander of the Cavalry Battalion, for being disrespectful to the royal family and the imperial decree."
Several people were so scared that they all knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, we are wronged~"
Yinzhen looked unhappy, and he stopped calling Master Geng. "Princess Yu, what's going on?"
Yupin told the emperor and the ministers in the court exactly what they had discussed about the princess outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Chao Gui is outside the palace?"
"Yes."
"Su Peisheng."
"Announce ~ Princess Chaogui to enter the palace."
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I wish you a long life."
"Get up, why are you entering the temple today?"
"I heard that Jungar wanted to marry the legitimate princess of the Qing Dynasty, so I specifically asked the emperor to allow me to go and marry."
The court suddenly became boiling.
"Chao Gui, are you serious?"
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I dare not joke about it."
Yinzhen looked at the woman kneeling in the court, and remembered what Xiaohe said in her dream that day: Women can also hold up half the sky!
