The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 914: heartbroken
Chapter 914 Heartbroken
“Shen Tianzhi…” The Grand Princess called out to Shen Tianzhi loudly.
“Yes!” Shen Tianzhi stepped forward.
“Tie the emperor to the pillar! Tie him up tightly! Take the second girl out…” The eldest princess gave the order with great authority, and then looked at Bai Jinxiu with eyes full of love, “Grandma will not watch your eldest sister’s coronation ceremony! Tell your eldest sister… don’t blame grandma, live well.”
After saying that, Shen Tianzhi’s men came forward to pull Bai Jinxiu.
Bai Jinxiu was about to draw her Qingfeng sword to fight off Shen Tianzhi’s men, but was held down by Shen Tianzhi who rushed forward: “Second Miss, don’t you really understand? The Grand Princess is the Grand Princess of the Jin Dynasty, just like… your uncles and aunts are the Bai Family Army. In order to protect what they want to protect in their hearts, they will never retreat even if they die.”
Shen Tianzhi looked at Bai Jinxiu seriously. What’s more, the eldest princess has been protecting the State of Jin all her life, and even for the sake of the State of Jin… she is on guard against her own husband, son, grandson, and granddaughter.
Now that things have come to this, the Grand Princess knows that the Jin State is corrupt and is teaching her granddaughter to ascend the throne, but she cannot just watch Bai Qingyan ascend the throne.
If she died at this moment today, she would die with the State of Jin.
But if the Grand Princess saw Bai Qingyan ascend the throne, it would mean that her granddaughter destroyed the State of Jin, and the Grand Princess did not want to see that.
This is the pride of the eldest princess as the legitimate princess of Jin State. Such pride… is more important than life to people like them.
Just like…
The integrity of literati.
Military spirit.
The emperor, who was tied to a pillar, was still cursing and trying to make a last-ditch struggle. A guard found a rag from somewhere and stuffed it directly into the emperor’s mouth.
“Madam Qin… think about the deceased King Zhenguo. Didn’t King Zhenguo know at the last moment that the Bai family ended up like this because of the four words “the king suspects the minister and kills him”? But why didn’t King Zhenguo leave a single word for the Bai family to take revenge? Because King Zhenguo is loyal to the State of Jin.” Shen Tianzhi said solemnly to Bai Jinxiu, “Let’s go!”
When Shen Tianzhi said these words, he was not sure whether Bai Jinxiu could understand them.
After all, in this era of the collapse of rituals and music, there are fewer and fewer young people who can understand the beliefs and persistence of people like the Grand Princess’ generation.
“Go!” The Grand Princess smiled and sat down behind the desk, twirling the Buddhist beads in her hand, smiling kindly, “The Jin Dynasty is over, and I, the Grand Princess of the Jin Dynasty…it’s time for me to go.”
Even if the Grand Princess left with Bai Jinxiu today, she would not live long.
People have a sense of when their time is up.
Everyone will die eventually, so why should we spend the days before the end… in agony? If that is the case… it would be better to die today, when the Jin Dynasty has completely become history, and go along with the history of the Jin Dynasty.
In Shen Tianzhi’s opinion, Bai Jinxiu is still a child. Although all the children in the Bai family are precocious, Bai Jinxiu is obviously different from Bai Qingyan, who has a nearly diabolical mind. There are some things that Bai Jinxiu cannot understand unless he explains them clearly.
Bai Jinxiu looked at the eldest princess who had decided to sit down and remain silent with tears in her eyes: “Grandmother…”
Seeing Bai Jinxiu’s struggle, Shen Tianzhi advised like an elder: “Kowtow to the Grand Princess, let’s go… don’t delay!”
The emperor, whose mouth was blocked, had veins throbbing on his forehead. No one knew what he was saying, as all the words were blocked in his throat by the rag.
Bai Jinxiu hesitated for a moment, then released her hand that was pressing on the Qingfeng Sword, knelt down in front of the Grand Princess, and kowtowed heavily: “Grandma, Jinxiu… I still hope that Grandma and Jinxiu can leave together. If Grandma gets into trouble here… I will be very sad! I was brought up by Grandma… My relationship with Grandma is deeper than any of our brothers and sisters.”
“That’s right. That’s why… Grandmother doesn’t want to see the day when your eldest sister ascends the throne! And she hopes that it’s her who ascends the throne!” The eldest princess lowered her eyes and looked at the unfinished teacup in front of her, picked it up and drank it all. “Maybe in the next life! Grandmother will definitely be a good grandmother to you.”
The tea was poisoned. It was the same tea that the Grand Princess used when she ordered people to kill Ji Tingyu. Yesterday, she learned that Bai Qingyan was going to enter Luo Hong City… So the Grand Princess took the tea, but the dosage was very small. After all, this poison… would make people drowsy and die in their sleep!
Therefore, the Grand Princess only used a little yesterday, and only slowly increased the amount before Bai Qingyan came today.
Now that she has finished drinking this cup of tea, the poison will be gone. It won’t be long before the Grand Princess will feel sleepy, and then… she will fall asleep forever in this Luohong Tower.
The eldest princess waved her hand at Bai Jinxiu and said, “Grandmother, you are going to see my father, the emperor, and my mother, and to apologize to your grandfather, uncles, and brothers.”
After saying this, the Grand Princess seemed to be in a trance, she closed her eyes and stopped talking…
“Let’s go!” Shen Tianzhi reached out to grab Bai Jinxiu’s arm, “It will be too late if we don’t leave now! The fire is too big!”
Thick smoke outside continued to squeeze in through the tightly closed windows. Shen Tianzhi could no longer hold back his coughing. The heat wave was becoming more and more intense. He was afraid that the raging fire would soon engulf the Luo Hong Building.
“Grandma!” Bai Jinxiu’s tears flowed like a broken string. She hoped that the Grand Princess would change her mind and leave with her.
Shen Tianzhi saw the Grand Princess’ lips change color and his face changed drastically. He looked up and saw the flames had already reached the window. He hurriedly said to Bai Jinxiu, “The Grand Princess has taken poison! Madam Qin…it’s really too late if we don’t leave now!”
“Grandma!” Bai Jinxiu was shocked.
“Let’s go!” Shen Tianzhi pulled Bai Jinxiu up with all his strength, “If you die here too, His Majesty will be heartbroken! Let’s go!”
Bai Jinxiu gritted her teeth and stopped begging. Instead, she held Shen Tianzhi’s arm and said, “Immediately… send someone to carry my grandmother out! No matter if she is willing or not! Quickly! Otherwise, if anything happens to my grandmother… I will tell my elder sister that it was you who caused it!”
“this……”
Shen Tianzhi’s face turned pale. Who would have the guts to offend the Grand Princess… the grandmother of the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty? !
“If you don’t move, I will come myself!” said Bai Jinxiu.
Shen Tianzhi could only nod: “Carry the eldest princess out…”
Although the eldest princess was still conscious at this time, her body had already lost its strength and was about to fall into a deep sleep. It was even difficult for her to open her eyes.
The emperor, who was tied tightly to a pillar, stretched his neck and seemed to be howling at the top of his lungs, but no one paid any attention to him.
The emperor watched the soldiers carry the eldest princess out, and watched the people in Luohong Tower go out one by one. He was the only one left. He finally panicked and roared at Bai Jinxiu with bloodshot eyes.
Bai Jinxiu went out, looked up at the emperor, and closed the door for him personally…
