The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 905: The tide is over
Chapter 905: The End of the Game
The Grand Princess had heard about the rebellions in many places as Bai Qingyan mentioned. It was said that… because of the conscription of children, everywhere was like hell on earth.
The eldest princess closed her eyes, and her luck was over!
After a while, the eldest princess moved, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and turned to look at Bai Qingyan. Her expression changed, and she was no longer sad. Her eyebrows and eyes were clear, and her voice was clear…
“If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have come! Since you want to become the empress of the Great Zhou, you should know… an emperor must not put himself in danger. You… are the empress of the Great Zhou, the foundation of the Great Zhou! There can’t be any accidents! The Great Zhou has just been established, and there is a lot of work to be done. In addition, the surrendered generals and soldiers you brought back from Daliang are all subordinate to you, Bai Qingyan. If something happens to you… the Great Zhou will be in chaos! To give an explanation to your grandmother alone, you are risking the safety of the country. This is not what an emperor should do!”
Hearing the Grand Princess’ words, the Emperor who was sitting behind the screen suddenly stood up with murderous intent in his eyes. Is this something a Grand Princess of a country can say to a rebel?
He gnashed his teeth and roared, “Grand Princess!”
Quan Yu, who was already restrained, was so frightened that he fell to his knees. The emerald wine glass on the black lacquered and gold-painted square plate tilted… and the wine spilled all over the black lacquered square plate. Quan Yu was shaking all over. He knelt stiffly on the back, staring at the shiny floor reflecting the candlelight, not daring to breathe.
He was a slave all his life. The best he could do was become a personal eunuch beside the crown prince. Even if he reached the top and became a personal eunuch beside the emperor… he was still a slave even if he was ranked first among the slaves. It was in his nature to be afraid of his master. He would become uneasy if his master glanced at him, not to mention that the emperor was furious at this moment.
The eldest princess turned a deaf ear to the emperor’s roar. She stared at her granddaughter, as if she was heartbroken. She tightly grasped her granddaughter’s hand, approached her and said solemnly: “You are an emperor, not a reckless general! You shouldn’t put yourself in danger for a dying grandmother! You are holding down a country! From the moment you become an emperor… you are no longer your own! You belong to the people of the Great Zhou! You should put the people of the Great Zhou first! Such a simple choice… you don’t understand?! Your father raised his arrows and shot… your five younger brothers, you don’t understand the choice?!”
When talking about her heartache, the eldest princess could hardly hold back her tears.
“Grand Princess!” the emperor roared.
But the eldest princess seemed to be completely unaware of the emperor’s fury, and only had eyes for her granddaughter: “Back then, Xiang Yu captured Han Gaozu’s father alive and threatened to cook him. Han Gaozu said… If you must cook me, please give me a share! Only in this way can you achieve great things… If Han Gaozu was like you, how could you achieve great things?!”
Seeing the emperor about to step out from behind the screen, Quan Yu rushed forward and hugged his legs, “Your Majesty, calm down!”
The black lacquered square plate containing the poisoned wine fell to the ground, soaking Quanyu’s clothes. The broken pieces of the jade cup pierced into Quanyu’s knees, which should have caused severe pain, but Quanyu was completely unaware of it. He was filled with fear, so much so that his voice trembled, but he still held the emperor’s legs tightly with the determination to die.
Gao Demao, who had been standing in Luohong Tower and had not left, also knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, calm down!”
“Get out of here, slave!”
The emperor’s eyes were bloodshot, he had never expected that Quanyu, a timid and cowardly eunuch, would dare to come forward and hug his legs. The emperor kicked Quanyu on the shoulder with all his strength, but failed to kick Quanyu away.
Quan Yusheng was kicked by the emperor, and his scalp was numb with pain, but he hugged the emperor tighter and shouted loudly: “Princess Zhenguo, run! Run!”
Hearing Quan Yu’s voice, Bai Qingyan turned and looked towards the screen.
Seeing that he could not kick away this clingy servant, the emperor forcibly dragged Quan Yu, who was kneeling on the ground hugging his legs, out from behind the screen and glared at the eldest princess and Bai Qingyan.
“Remember!” The eldest princess grabbed Bai Qingyan’s hand tightly, held her face, and made her look at her. She spoke every word clearly, “You are an emperor… You should learn how to control your ministers and employ people! The heart of an emperor… If you have the heart to embrace the world, you must sacrifice small righteousness for great benevolence, sacrifice small emotions for great love, and put the country first. The rest is not important. If you ignore a country because of personal feelings, it will destroy the Great Zhou if you are not careful. This should not be what an emperor does.”
Hearing what the eldest princess said, the emperor went crazy, looking around for something to smash, and smashing the cup as a signal… Then the soldiers from Luohong City would rush in and put an end to Bai Qingyan.
“Abao, don’t worry about your grandmother! Kill the emperor, and from now on…the Kingdom of Jin will be transformed!” The eldest princess said solemnly.
The emperor had just seen the porcelain vase with fresh flowers on the high table and had just taken it in his hands… before he could break it, he heard the sound of fighting tearing the sky apart from outside.
The emperor turned around in panic and looked outside Luo Hong Tower.
“Grandmother, if I’m not sure, my granddaughter will never take this risk. At this moment… Jinxiu is attacking the city, and may have already broken through the city gate.” Bai Qingyan looked at the emperor’s back, “And the city… should be in chaos by now.”
The emperor suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Qingyan, and saw Bai Qingyan looking at him with a deep and quiet gaze: “Is the cup breaking as a warning? The cup is broken, but is there anyone coming in?”
She looked at the vase in the emperor’s hand and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can try it. Even if you smash the vase, see if anyone comes in to serve you…”
Since Shen Tianzhi is outside Luo Hong Tower, it is impossible for the emperor’s men to come in unless Bai Qingyan gives the order.
The emperor looked at the eldest princess who was sitting steadily, and he immediately understood…
The Grand Princess is willing to sacrifice her life for him and the Crown Prince, but that doesn’t mean… the Grand Princess is willing to do anything for him and the Crown Prince, including killing her granddaughter.
So, the Grand Princess was well prepared!
In fact, the reason why the eldest princess was willing to come to Luohong City with them was… to be Bai Qingyan’s eyes and ears and find out the situation, so that they would think that Bai Qingyan would be afraid and would wipe out their royal family in one fell swoop, so as to avoid an incident like when Yan destroyed Wei, where the Queen Mother of Wei fled with the little emperor.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!” Gao Demao knelt down to the emperor, holding the emperor’s other leg with one hand, and carefully took the vase in the emperor’s hand with the other hand. “Your Majesty… The situation is over, Your Majesty! Even if it’s a fight to the death… Luo Hongcheng doesn’t have the confidence and strength to do so!”
Seeing Gao Demao trying to persuade the emperor, Quan Yu, who was soaked all over, breathed a sigh of relief. The strength he had in holding the emperor’s legs suddenly faded, and he fell to the ground. When his eyes fell on the broken pieces of the wine glass that had pierced his knee, his mind went blank.
