Chapter 175
Detours and twists are often not as simple and fast as straightforward means, which can catch the enemy by surprise.Just when Tian Youjian had to give up the punishment and only detained Yuan Zhao pending trial, a decree solved his problem:
"The Princess of Anping has won the favor of the emperor, but he is arrogant and indulgent. He disregarded the laws and regulations of our dynasty and won the lives of five people because of his tongue. The crime is heavy and he owes the emperor's favor. Now, he is ordered to die by the queen mother."

After announcing the decree, the old servant looked down at her with a cold face, and said in a humming voice:
"The empress dowager is merciful, and I will give you a whole corpse, accept the order."

After finishing speaking, he stood aside, and a servant behind him who was carrying poisoned wine stepped forward.After hearing the decree, not only Jiang Lingyu was dumbfounded, but even Feng Wu stared at the imperial decree in disbelief, and then looked at Yuan Zhao who was still kneeling.

Hey, the queen mother didn't even want her face in order to kill her? !

Although the method is despicable, it is simple, rude and effective, and the two are really helpless.That is the Empress Dowager's decree, even His Majesty has to be scruples, who dares to disobey?

Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyu and Feng Wu stood helplessly aside, looking at Yuan Zhao who was also astonished with pity.

"Princess," without waiting for Yuan Zhao to speak, Luo Yan knelt down with tears in his eyes, holding up the command talisman with both hands, "It's not a pity for this subordinate to die, please take back the command talisman!"

Yuan Zhao: "..."

No, wait any longer.

"Hmph," the old servant looked at the token and sneered, "Princess, so what if you escaped today? The Jinxi urgent report was sent out half a month ago. At this moment, the Marquis of Dingyuan is probably dead, and there will be no one in the future." People protect the Marquis' Mansion. If you obediently commit suicide today, the Empress Dowager will assure you that the Marquis' Mansion will be safe from top to bottom.

But if you go out alive today, they will die, you can decide for yourself. "

The Princess Anping holds the Holy Majesty's order talisman in his hand, which is quite tricky, even the Queen Mother can't do anything about it.However, each has its own weaknesses.The order talisman can only save one person's life, but the Queen Mother can save the life of the entire Hou Mansion.

Which is more important, anyone with a conscience knows how to choose.

"Why did the queen mother give me death?" Yuan Zhao asked calmly.

The promises of someone in a high position are worthless, and she can think of thousands of reasons for going back on their word, but she doesn't need to take it seriously, the most important thing right now is delaying time.

"Why do you ask knowingly?" The old servant smiled and said slowly, "As an old man from the previous dynasty, how can He De be compared with the prince of my dynasty? Jiang Xing can only be named Feng, not a descendant of Beiyue .Okay princess, don't delay.

At this moment, His Majesty is busy choosing soldiers to replace your father, but he has no time to take care of your trivial matters.Come, serve the Princess on the way—"

"Wait!" Yuan Zhao clenched Luo Yan's hand tightly with one hand, as if the two were holding the command talisman together, "I still have a question..."

"Princess!" The old maid looked impatient, "The Queen Mother is still waiting!"

"I'm not in a hurry as a dying person. The Queen Mother still has a lot to look forward to. Can't I wait for even a moment?" Yuan Zhao stood up while holding Luo Yan's hand and order talisman, looking directly into the old servant's eyes, " As a woman, she failed to fulfill her filial piety, she just wanted to know why her father got sick before he died.

I believe that even if His Majesty's imperial decree of death is for this purpose, he will tell the inside story as the courtiers wish, right? "

With Zhu Shou at his side, why did he still get sick?There must be something else going on in this matter.

Seeing her standing up, a depressing aura emerged spontaneously, and the members of Ting Wei Division drew their swords one after another, protecting the old servant, the princess, and Feng Zuo Duwei to retreat.

"What do you want to do?! What do you want to do?!" The old servant pointed at her angrily and scolded, "Are you going to rebel? You want to let the whole Hou Mansion be buried with you?!"

"What are you afraid of?" Yuan Zhao raised his hand calmly, "This princess holds His Majesty's command talisman in his hand. Kneeling is disrespectful to His Majesty. You can't bear it either, so I have no choice but to stand up. Why panic?"

"Bold traitor!" Tian Youjian was ecstatic when he saw this, and immediately charged her, "Your Majesty's token can only protect one person! You..."

"Tell me the truth, and I will obey the law immediately." Yuan Zhao stared at the old servant and said, "The empress dowager is eager to protect her grandson, and my daughter understands, and I hope the queen mother understands my daughter's filial piety! I believe that the eunuch also wants to make a deal sooner, so why not be quicker , do you have to make extra trouble?"

"Okay! That old slave wants you to die clearly." The old servant really wanted to finish it quickly, and said, "More than half a month ago, Dingyuanhou fell ill and was unable to lead the army to fight! He was afraid that the border defense would be lost, so he sent a letter to the court. Send generals to take over!

that is all!Princess Anping, you should be careful!If you die today, His Majesty may let the Hou Mansion and even your whole family go because of guilt!If you resist the decree, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager are real mothers and sons. If you are filial, Your Majesty is even better than you..."

Before he finished shouting, a high-pitched voice came from the prison gate:
"The decree arrives—"

Huh, Nima, finally here, Yuan Zhaosheng heaved a sigh of relief, and knelt down first.

Luckily, Luo Yan followed closely behind.

imperial decree? !Such a coincidence?The hall was full of astonishment, and as Sun Decheng appeared at the door, everyone put away the complicated expressions on their faces and quickly fell to their knees.

"According to the order of the sage, foreign countries have repeatedly violated our court, causing border defenses to become urgent, and the monarchs and ministers are all busy with state affairs! Princess Anping is the successor of our dynasty's hero, and the matter of disregarding human life needs to be investigated. It cannot be convicted hastily, and it will be put on hold for now..."

Therefore, the Princess of Anping was detained in the mansion, and he will be dealt with after the border defense crisis is lifted.

After the decree was announced, the old servant's face turned blue and white, and he saluted Sun Decheng respectfully.Then he turned his head and gave Yuan Zhao a hard look, waved his hand, and led the little servant with Yizhi to leave Tingwei's prison with poisoned wine.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Zhao gratefully accepted the imperial decree, sincerely.

"You should also thank the prince." Sun Decheng said with a pleasant face, "At that time, His Majesty was discussing matters with all the ministers. If the Crown Prince hadn't entered the palace to inform, it would be too late for His Majesty to save you."

"Yes, thank you, Your Royal Highness," Yuan Zhao got up after receiving the order, and saluted Sun Decheng, and at the same time did not forget to do the same to Jiang Lingyu next to him, "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your help!"

"Thank you, I didn't help after all." Jiang Lingyu apologized, without the airs of a princess.

"Thank you," Yuan Zhaochao bowed deeply to everyone, including Feng Wu, "Anping will always remember everyone's kindness."

"Princess, don't blame the queen mother, her old man..."

"The superintendent is too worried," Yuan Zhao said with a smile, "Thunderstorms, rain and dew are all God's blessings. Our family can't live without doing evil. It is the royal family's great kindness to survive today. Today's matter, I can only feel ashamed. Never complained."

"That's good," Sun Decheng saw that her expression was calm, without the slightest bit of resentment, he couldn't help feeling deeply, "It's no wonder that His Majesty has always praised the princess as a smart child, and Dingyuanhou is blessed."

Yuan Zhao smiled and remained humble.

Seeing that everyone had finished talking, Supervisor Tian You on the side came forward with a mournful face, and looked at Sun Decheng eagerly:
"Sun Dajian, I am guilty of the crime, please forgive me..."

"Your Majesty is busy and has no time to punish you." Sun Decheng glanced at him and said, "However, Mr. Tian, ​​I advise you to hurry up and send people to investigate the deaths of those villagers! When asked in the future, You can make amends."

"Your Majesty understands! Thank you, Your Majesty, and the Supervisor for your reminder!" Tian Youjian was dripping with sweat.

He did understand that whether the princess is guilty or not depends on the will of the Holy Spirit, and now is not the right time.When the Holy Majesty thinks she is guilty, she will be guilty, and what others say doesn't matter.

Even if she is innocent.
