Volume 1 Princess Taiping Grows Up Chapter 29 Results
Mrs. Rongguo was kneeling on the ground in tears. She wanted to explain, but she stammered and didn't know what to say.
Wu Zetian stood in the center of the hall with a gloomy face, staring at her mother who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word.
Fulai and Xiaohe stood there with their heads down, not daring to speak, and could only wait for their fate.
Li Yuechen's plea for them just now made them feel relieved. Xiaohe was fine, but Fulai felt that he was quite wronged and didn't even know what exactly happened.
Through the conversation between several people, I have simulated the whole ins and outs of the matter in my mind, and my heart is in turmoil for a moment.
Is Helan Minzhi mentally retarded? How dare he do such a thing to a princess of a country!
"Mei Niang, I don't know how to explain this, but I only ask you to spare his life! As for the rest, I'll leave it to you."
Mrs. Rongguo lowered her head and stopped looking at her daughter. She just murmured, "If you must pay with your life, why not use me..."
"Okay!" Wu Zetian interrupted her and didn't let her continue.
She waved her hand and said, "Xiao He, take Chen'er to the back hall!"
"Yes!" Xiao He agreed, and came to Li Yuechen and whispered, "Your Highness, let's go."
Li Yuechen wanted to speak, but in the end said nothing. He just bowed to Wu Zetian and followed Xiaohe to the back hall.
Now no matter what she said, it was useless, Wu Zetian had her own ideas.
At the back, Xiao He was about to ask her to sit down, but Li Yuechen made a gesture to keep quiet, then took off her clogs and walked barefoot to the front hall again, wanting to hear how the matter would be handled.
"Your Highness..." Xiao He called in a low voice.
Li Yuechen waved her hand and asked her to stay where she was. She walked barefoot to the passage leading to the front hall and listened secretly.
After her daughter returned, Wu Zetian raised her head and took a deep breath: "Mother, please get up!"
Mrs. Rongguo raised her head tremblingly, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Mei Niang, are you willing to spare his life?"
Wu Zetian was silent for two seconds: "Chen'er is fine this time, the death penalty can be spared, but the living punishment cannot be escaped! Exile to Lingnan!"
“Okay, okay…”
Mrs. Rongguo raised her arms and wiped her tears with her sleeves. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive..."
She stood up with difficulty, holding the cane, and Fu Lai, who was beside her, went over to help her.
"Mei Niang you..."
Wu Zetian waved her hand and said, "Mother can go back now. This matter is over. If His Majesty knew about this, it would not be so easy!"
Mrs. Rongguo nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone! As long as you are alive..."
Seeing that Wu Zetian still looked unhappy, Mrs. Rongguo turned and left, and naturally there were eunuchs outside the door to see her off.
Wu Zetian still stood there without saying a word. After about a minute of silence, she turned around and said, "Fu Lai!"
"The servant is here!"
"You have been taking care of the princess since she was young. What do you think about this?" Wu Zetian asked.
Hearing this question, Fu Lai was silent for a few seconds, then looked up cautiously, as if trying to guess what she meant by asking this.
Seeing that Wu Zetian still had a gloomy face, Fulai gritted his teeth and replied: "I wish I could kill her as soon as possible!"
This answer is half speculation about Wu Zetian's current attitude, and the other half comes from the heart.
Eunuchs like them are always discriminated against outside, but this princess is the only one who has never discriminated against them since she was a child.
In the hearts of the servants, this princess enjoys extremely high prestige.
Wu Zetian glanced at him and then sat down: "But I have just promised my mother not to kill you. If I go back on my word, wouldn't I be considered a person who breaks his word?"
Fulai knew that his bet was right, and he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the journey to Lingnan is long and rugged, and there are many thieves and bandits. Even if there are some accidents along the way, it is normal!"
Wu Zetian nodded slightly and looked at him with admiration: "Then why are you still standing here? Are you waiting for the reward?"
"Yes! I will take my leave now!"
Fu Lai bowed, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.
Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the bed chair, suddenly said, "Chen'er, come out!"
“…”
Li Yuechen, who was hiding on the side, was stunned for a moment, then walked out with an embarrassed look on her face: "How did mother know that I was eavesdropping here?"
"Don't forget whose belly you crawled out of!" Wu Zetian said expressionlessly.
However, he thought to himself: It was just a lie, but this girl was actually eavesdropping!
Li Yuechen immediately put on a cute smile: "No one knows a daughter better than her mother, my mother is really amazing!"
Wu Zetian was still not completely relieved, the murderous look on her face had not yet dissipated, she snorted coldly and said: "You are quite courageous, you actually dare to deceive your superiors and conceal such a thing!"
"I really don't want you to worry about this!" Li Yuechen ran to her and put his head on her legs. "Besides, nothing happened, didn't it?"
"It will be too late when something happens!" Wu Zetian stretched out a finger, pointed it at her head and poked it back.
Li Yuechen smiled and climbed onto the bed chair, kneeling beside her: "I know that mother is doing this for my own good, but don't be angry now, it's all in the past!"
Seeing her like this, Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile: "Are you satisfied with my handling of this matter?"
"Satisfied!" Li Yuechen nodded, stood up, hugged her neck and smiled, "Mother must be doing this for my own good!"
The evil spirit on Wu Zetian's face finally showed signs of dissipating, and she smiled: "You really know how to make me happy!"
"Hehe, because I know mother would definitely not want her child to suffer any injustice!" Li Yuechen said with a smile.
Hearing her answer, Wu Zetian nodded secretly in her heart.
I originally thought that Li Yuechen would be too kind to kill Helan Minzhi, but now it seems that although this girl is kind, she is not pedantic.
No wonder Zhinu favors her so much, she is indeed a promising talent! Wu Zetian thought to herself.
Seeing Wu Zetian's admiring eyes, Li Yuechen knew that she should have completely calmed down by now, and smiled and kissed her on the face.
"You silly girl! Don't try that on me!" Wu Zetian pushed her away. "You haven't finished deceiving me yet!"
"I know I was wrong. Please don't blame me this time." Li Yuechen came closer with a playful smile.
Wu Zetian accidentally looked down and said, "Where have you been, you little bitch? Look at these black footprints!"
Li Yuechen looked down and saw that there were many black footprints on the bright yellow silk of the bed and chair.
When I came out of Taichang Temple today, I took off my clogs because they were too troublesome and ran on the ground. I didn't wash my feet when I got back and just came here directly.
But it must be said that Wu Zetian now looks more like a mother than her usual majestic appearance.
"Mother, let me go back and wash up." Li Yuechen quickly rolled down and was about to leave with a smile.
"Come back!" Wu Zetian called her.
Li Yuechen turned around and asked: "Does my mother have any other instructions?"
"It is indeed not appropriate to let your grandfather know about this matter. Since you are satisfied with this handling, there is no need to tell your grandfather."
"Yes, I understand." Li Yuechen bowed and agreed, then turned and left.
Watching her skipping away, Wu Zetian finally grinned and shook her head.
After calming down, he got up and went back to Yanying Hall to continue reviewing memorials.
…
Li Yuechen brought Xiaohe back to Chengxiang Palace and asked her to fetch water to wash her feet.
She was quite satisfied with the way Wu Zetian handled the matter, and she could also see from this matter that she was still very much loved.
As for Helan Minzhi, he is a pervert, so just kill him, she won't feel guilty about it!
When Shangguan Wan'er heard that Li Yuechen had returned, she ran over in her wooden clogs, clacking all the way.
He took off his shoes and entered the palace. He trotted all the way to the table, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, when will the sequel be written?"
"I'll write it tomorrow!" Li Yuechen smiled, "I'm a little tired today, let's just talk here."
"good!"
Shangguan Wan'er nodded and chatted with Li Yuechen while washing his feet.
It was said to be a chat, but in fact, Li Yuechen was just telling a story and she was just listening.
"Then someone discovered that there was a young lady who had frozen to death in the corner. She was still smiling and holding a tinder in her hand..."
"Your Highness, why did she die?"
"Because we are poor." Li Yuechen took out her little feet that had turned white from soaking and shook them. "If there was food at home, maybe the ending would be different."
"Did something similar happen in the Tang Dynasty?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.
Li Yuechen looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he smiled and said, "I hope not!"
Shangguan Wan'er nodded, as if she understood what she meant, but also as if she didn't fully understand it. Most of her emotions were still immersed in the story.
…
Mrs. Rongguo fell ill after returning home. After Li Yuechen knew about it, she would still visit her every few days.
She did not vent her anger on the old man for wanting to save Helan Min's life, and acted as if the incident had never happened.
Instead, Mrs. Rongguo felt a little sorry for her, and burst into tears when she saw that she still came to visit her.
An old woman in her nineties cried like a child. Li Yuechen couldn't bear it, so she told her with a smile that Helan Minzhi had been punished anyway, and she would not be angry about it.
Now that Helan Minzhi is gone, the only one who can come to visit her is Li Yuechen.
Although the house had everything it needed and was served by servants, Li Yuechen could still feel the loneliness in the old man's heart.
Helan Minzhi would definitely not be able to reach Lingnan alive, and the old man’s last wish was ultimately unfulfilled.
No, maybe she knew everything in her heart, but she was still willing to believe that her grandson was not dead.
Li Yuechen returned to his previous life. The biggest difference was that he moved his daily practice location from outside to inside the temple.
In this age without air conditioning, summer is very unbearable.
Li Zhi would have someone send her some ice cubes every now and then to cool her down. He really loved his daughter to the extreme.
Fulai was away for about ten days and came back with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, I am back and I greet you."
Li Yuechen, who was exercising, stopped and was silent for a second. He looked up and asked, "Is everything done?"
Fu Lai bowed and replied: "If you dare to have any evil intentions towards Your Highness, you will definitely die a miserable death!"
Li Yuechen nodded, and suddenly her usual cute smile returned: "That's good, go report to my mother."
“Yes!”
Walking out of Chengxiang Hall, Fulai couldn't help but look back.
The small figure in the hall began to practice again, his movements did not change at all, as if nothing had happened just now.
Fulai thought to himself, in time, this princess will definitely become a big shot!
It seems that I have a bright future!
Thinking of this, Fulai smiled lightly and trotted off to report to Wu Zetian.
Now Xiao He became closer to the princess. After all, Li Yuechen was willing to plead for her and usually treated her like a friend, which naturally had a great impact on her heart.
Li Yuechen was thinking in his heart what method he should use to cultivate his own people, the kind of people who are only loyal to him.
But I still say that I don’t dare now!
After all, she is still a child. If she is suspected, the consequences will be serious!
So now I can only hope to grow up quickly. It’s not that I want to rebel, but at least when something happens, I can handle it myself .
This kind of thing cannot be rushed, so Li Yuechen is not impatient and still practices hard every day.
…
When summer comes, the flowers beside Taiye Lake are in full bloom, forming a vast expanse of colorful flowers that is extremely beautiful.
However, the court was in a state of sorrow. Zhao Renben was seriously ill. Li Zhi also visited him and gave him many kinds of medicine, hoping that he would get better soon.
Li Yuechen did not try to find out what was happening in the court. She just stayed with Li Zhi and told him not to feel bad about what was happening in the court.
With her company, Li Zhi was in a good mood. Every day he would lean on a chair, holding a health ball in his left hand and a folding fan in his right hand to chat with her. His mood was quite stable.
Seeing that he moved around while sitting on the chair every day, Li Yuechen ran to the craftsman supervisor and asked a carpenter to make him a recliner.
Moreover, it was a rocking recliner, where one could gently rock back and forth while half lying on it, which Li Zhi liked very much.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Li Yuechen felt relieved and came to chat with him every day when she had nothing to do.
If you stay here for a long time, you will inevitably hear about some military and national affairs.
Just as the hot summer of June was approaching, a good thing happened, which made Li Zhi even happier.
In the Andong Protectorate, Jian Moucen supported An Shun as king and led the people in rebellion.
However, since no one responded, he was trapped in Anshi City by the deputy general who stayed behind.
At that time, Deputy General Zhang Peng originally planned to lead the troops to take it down directly. If the bandit leader could be captured alive, it would be a great achievement!
However, because their numbers were too small, although the enemy could not do anything to them, they were also unable to enter the city for a while.
Then the new Andong Duhu Gao Kan arrived. After resting for two days, he led his troops to attack Anshi City.
The number of people under An Shun was not enough to fight, and seeing that the Tang army was about to rush in like cutting melons and vegetables, he wanted to surrender.
But Jian Moucen did not let him surrender, and killed the envoy who came to persuade him to surrender in front of him.
When An Shun saw that the envoy was killed, he knew that surrendering was useless, so he killed Jian Moucen directly and fled to Silla with less than 30 personal guards.
This piece of news made Li Zhi laugh out loud, and he praised Li Yuechen a lot.
Li Yuechen still pretended to be innocent, and tried to cheer Li Zhi up as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
