After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 357 Is This Telling a Story?

Mu Qingyu: "..."

She knew about this past, but she didn't know what the old emperor meant when he said it in such a melancholy tone.

Even if the old emperor wanted to be melancholy, he shouldn't be treating her, right?

She is just a commoner girl now, but in his eyes, she is still a scourge of disturbing his two sons' lives!Moreover, this age is not right. The old man is sad for the spring and the autumn, and misses the past. Isn't he going to treat his peers?Isn't it weird to say this to her, who is only sixteen years old?

Even though she thought so in her heart, Mu Qingyu didn't dare to say it out loud. She never dreamed that she would become a tree hole today?

Besides, there was nothing to be sad about this incident back then, right?Even if you want to be melancholy, it's not the old emperor's turn to be melancholy.

Mu Qingyu didn't make a sound, but the old emperor obviously didn't need her to speak up.

He continued: "This is a serious crime. However, Pei Ji pleaded guilty on behalf of his son, and was beaten dozens of times, and the punishment was fined. I can't completely kill the Pei family. I gave Pei Shizhen two choices..."

Having said that, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Mu Qingyu with a bad look.

Mu Qingyu: "..."

She knew that her uncle didn't choose either, but chose the third one.

Therefore, the old emperor thought that today, she didn't choose both, and that's why she looked bad.

She lowered her head, lowering her presence!

"Raise your head, don't lower your head!" The old emperor shouted.

Mu Qingyu: "..."

This kind of eyes kept staring at her, and the situation of telling her a story was so weird, Mu Qingyu had no choice but to answer yes and raise her head.

The old emperor continued: "Pei Ji chose to leave Beijing to go to the frontier, but he made a condition, do you know?"

Mu Qingyu wanted to say that she didn't know. In this situation, it's not bad to say more and make mistakes, but to say less and make fewer mistakes.However, thinking that the old emperor knew all the inside information about the divorce letter, and because Chu Jingxian helped her, he had a bad impression of her. If he knew that she knew and thought she was lying, he would give him poisoned wine.

She said truthfully: "I heard that uncle asked the emperor to protect my life!"

The old emperor said: "That's right! Pei Shizhen was so bold that he made a deal with me to save your life! Do you think it's ridiculous? A criminal judge, in front of me, even made a deal."

Mu Qingyu saw that the old emperor showed signs of being smart again, and hurriedly said: "But the emperor's benevolence and virtue, he still agreed!"

"Yes, what's even more ridiculous is that I actually agreed!" The old emperor glanced at her with a cold look in his eyes. At this moment, he must have thought of nothing good. Mu Qingyu didn't ask why he agreed, which is ridiculous.

The old emperor has already continued: "But the promise I made here is not so easy to ask. If he dies, will I still protect your life?"

"So, there is a time limit?" Mu Qingyu asked tentatively.

"Of course!" The old emperor glanced at her again, seeing her standing there, slim and calm, the old emperor was a little upset, and said: "I will protect you for 12 years, and after 12 years, I will protect you personally." I give you death!"

Mu Qingyu: "..."

The old emperor's words seemed incoherent.

However, she still figured out a clue from the middle.

Anyway, she couldn't bow her head, and she didn't intend to hold her breath, she said: "Under what conditions, can I not die at the age of 17?"

When she was four years old, Pei Yi passed away, and in the following year, there were various disputes between the Mu family and the Pei family. At the age of five, she was guaranteed for 12 years, until the age of 17.

So this can live one more year, not because of her third choice, but because the old emperor agreed to his uncle in the early years.

The old emperor glanced at her appreciatively, and said, "No wonder those two idiots of mine have different attitudes towards you, how smart they are!"

Is this a compliment or a tease?Mu Qingyu rolled her eyes in her heart.

"The condition is that he can come back after 12 years! If he lives, you can live, if he doesn't live, you die!"

Mu Qingyu frowned unconsciously. There had been no news of her uncle for a long time. The people she sent found out that Pei Shizhen had gone to the border. Because of Mu Mingyuan's "special care", she had been pushed out and assigned to the front line. She had to work hard In the third year, Pei Shizhen completely lost the news.

No body, no list of dead.

But that was a battlefield. After a great battle, many unnamed corpses piled up together, the world became a grave, and became a pile of bones. Who knows which bone is whose?

There were also corpses that rushed into the water and fell off the cliff...

All kinds of possibilities, life is nameless, death is also nameless!

Every time a piece of news came back, Mu Qingyu's heart became heavy, but she didn't say anything, she didn't say anything to Pei Ji, she was expecting a miracle, but she also knew that there could be no miracle.

If Pei Shizhen is still alive, why is there no news at all?For nine years, there was no news, his father was still at home, and he himself was still in the military!

Don't say that Pei Ji has no hope, even Mu Qingyu has no hope either.

The old emperor looked at her face, and there was a hint of gloating in his eyes: "I promise you that you will live to be 17 years old, and you will never break your promise! There are still half a year left, so live well!"

Mu Qingyu: "..."

She still doesn't know whether she can live or not is related to her uncle's request to the old emperor.

However, she decides what she wants, and since she knows that if her uncle doesn't come back half a year later, the old emperor will kill her, she won't obediently accept her fate!

The old emperor glanced at her indifferently, and said rather bitterly: "Originally, my sage ordered you to marry the fifth princess as a concubine, and it was already for your...uncle's sake, I gave you a way to survive, so I will be with you." Uncle has a 12-year agreement, but it will not end in death for my daughter-in-law, you are the one who thinks you are smart, and you want to retire the fifth child, now, have you ever regretted it?"

Mu Qingyu smiled and said, "No regrets!"

"Oh?" The old emperor narrowed his eyes: "Why?"

He didn't need to lie to her. If she was still the fifth concubine, he wouldn't kill her. After all, she was the royal daughter-in-law who was given a jade certificate.

But now that the Department of Internal Affairs has deposited a divorce certificate, she has no relationship with the royal family, and her name has been removed from the jade certificate.

Moreover, she used scheming to achieve this goal!
The girl who pretends to be smart has fooled herself. I don't know if she regrets it in her heart at this time.

This ironic result is enough for this girl to live in regret for the rest of her life.

Mu Qingyu raised her head, her eyes were clear, but her eyes were filled with fearlessness, and she said, "Your Majesty, if you are being plotted against, why should I be inferior, tortured, and treated coldly? Why am I the one who is beaten, scolded, and humiliated?" , being bullied and buried alive, why should I continue to bear it?"

The old emperor: "..."

He even knew the inside story of the divorce letter, how Chu Xinyuan treated Mu Qingyu back then, of course he also knew.
