This news shocked Shen Wan greatly.

It's been such a long time since we heard the news about her becoming a princess, and now it's so explosive.

Since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, no royal relative has ever shaved his head.

The disappearance of Prince Cheng had already caused countless speculations, and the fact that Princess Cheng had cut her hair caused even more speculation.

However, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan could understand Princess Cheng's actions, and this was even the best ending for Princess Cheng.

Although King Cheng was cold and even cruel to Princess Cheng, as long as she was still Princess Cheng, she would have to bear the consequences for all the crimes committed by King Cheng.

Cuckolding the emperor, illegally mining iron ore, colluding with Xiliang, etc., any one of them was enough to cause the entire Wang family to be executed.

The court laws meant that Princess Cheng could not stay out of it, even if she knew nothing.

Not only Princess Cheng, but also Crown Prince Cheng.

Princess Cheng has tried her best to protect her two children within her ability. She can't do anything about Crown Prince Cheng, so she tries every means to ask the Queen Mother to marry Princess Yong'an away from the Cheng Palace, so that the crime will not be committed on the married daughter, so as to protect Princess Yong'an from being implicated.

Princess Cheng was cruelly thrown into the well to silence her. If it weren't for her two children, she would have wished she were dead.

Shaving her head was a way of self-protection, and it was also the best revenge she could take on King Cheng as Princess Cheng.

If something happens to King Cheng in the future, she will not be implicated. She can stay in Jingci Temple with peace of mind, and Princess Yong'an can visit her from time to time.

Shen Wan felt sorry for Princess Cheng. She looked at Xie Jingyan and asked, "What about Prince Cheng?"

Poor Prince Cheng has been sickly since he was born and can hardly go out of the house a year. After he finally recovered and was able to live like a normal person, he was implicated by Prince Cheng again. No matter how generous and magnanimous the Emperor is, he cannot punish Prince Cheng and keep the title for Prince Cheng to inherit.

Xie Jingyan sighed, "If the Prince of Cheng is still in the Prince of Cheng's mansion, the Princess of Cheng will not go to Jingci Temple."

……

Shoukang Palace.

When the news that Princess Cheng had become a nun in Jingci Temple reached the Queen Mother, she was furious.

Her body and hair were given by her parents, and cutting her hair is disrespectful to her parents. She is the Princess of Cheng, and she did such a thing without even saying hello. Where does she put the reputation of Cheng Wang and the royal family? !

If you don't want those three thousand worries, why not just give up your life altogether!

The Queen Mother was so angry that she breathed in more than she breathed out.

Nanny Zhao hurried to help the empress dowager calm down. Wasn't Princess Cheng so ill that she didn't have much time left to live? The empress dowager was afraid that she would not live long enough for Princess Yong'an's marriage, so she married Princess Yong'an hastily just to fulfill Princess Cheng's last wish. As a result, from Princess Yong'an's marriage to now, Princess Cheng not only did not die of illness, but with the disappearance of Prince Cheng, her illness actually got better and she was able to go to Jingci Temple.

All the sympathy and heartache that the Queen Mother felt for Princess Cheng disappeared the moment she learned that Princess Cheng had shaved her head.

The Queen Mother was so angry that her lips were shaking. "The royal family cannot tolerate such a shameful thing! Give her a piece of white silk!"

The Queen Mother was angry, so Nanny Zhao didn't dare to persuade her any further.

Princess Cheng should have known that the Queen Mother would not allow such a thing to happen, but she still did such a thing. Isn't this courting death?

Nanny Zhao took people out of the palace and went to Jingci Temple.

Less than a quarter of an hour after she left, Nanny Zhao came back and brought back the white silk.

The Queen Mother was surprised when she saw this and said, "I asked you to go to Jingci Temple, why did you come back?!"

Madam Zhao said, "The Emperor won't let me go..."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Will the Emperor take care of this?"

Madam Zhao said, "Eunuch Yuan stopped me from leaving and said that Princess Cheng was a pitiful person and asked the Queen Mother to give her a chance to live."

She was ordered by the Queen Mother to sentence Princess Cheng to death. Without the Emperor's approval, even if Eunuch Yuan had the courage, he would not dare to stop her.

This must be the Emperor's intention.

In fact, the emperor did not explicitly ask the empress dowager to give Princess Cheng a chance to survive.

When the emperor heard about Princess Cheng becoming a nun in Jingci Temple, he did not say anything. Eunuch Yuan said, "I'm afraid the empress dowager will not agree if Princess Cheng becomes a nun..."

The emperor sneered, "In the eyes of the Queen Mother, the life of Princess Cheng is not as important as the face of Prince Cheng!"

These words revealed a strong dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother. Eunuch Yuan happened to know that the Queen Mother had ordered Madam Zhao to execute Princess Cheng, so he stopped Madam Zhao and said these words.

Nanny Zhao thought it was the emperor's intention, so she took Bai Ling back to Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother asked, "Why does the Emperor feel pity for Princess Cheng?"

The Emperor couldn't control Prince Cheng, allowing him to have an affair with Queen Song. Yet, the Emperor didn't blame Princess Cheng and even felt sorry for her?

Nanny Zhao said, "I also felt strange, so I asked Eunuch Yuan, but he didn't say anything and just told me to ask Princess Cheng..."

"Then go ask Ai Jia!"

The Queen Mother has become more and more irritable recently.

Nanny Zhao put down the white silk and took the palace maid to Jingci Temple.

Without those three thousand strands of black hair, it took Zhao Ma a while before she dared to believe that the person kneeling on the futon and beating the wooden fish in front of her was Princess Cheng.

It was obvious that she had just met Princess Cheng a few days ago.

How come she didn't realize at that time that Princess Cheng had such thoughts?

Princess Cheng said while knocking on the wooden fish, "Since you have been ordered to kill me, just do it directly."

Nanny Zhao looked at Princess Cheng and said, "Princess, since you know that the Queen Mother will not allow you to do this, why do you insist on..."

"Just because I won't be buried with King Cheng after I die."

The voice was cold, but resolute.

Zhao Ma was shocked, "Does the princess hate the king so much?"

Princess Cheng laughed, "Is it true that Queen Song was banished to the cold palace because she tried to assassinate the emperor?"

Madam Zhao said, "I'm sorry, I dare not say more about this matter."

Princess Cheng raised her lips in a mocking smile, "Why do you need to say more? I know this better than you."

Madam Zhao looked at Princess Cheng and asked, "How could the princess know this?"

Princess Cheng laughed at herself, "How should I know? It was because I accidentally discovered this dirty thing that I almost died outside Changchun Palace!"

Aunt Zhao was so shocked that she couldn't recover.

Nanny Zhao never dreamed that Princess Cheng fell into the well outside Changchun Palace because she accidentally discovered the affair between Prince Cheng and Queen Song, and was silenced by Prince Cheng...

No wonder Princess Cheng had to bypass King Cheng and spent a lot of money to ask her to help ask the Queen Mother to grant Princess Yong'an a marriage.

It turns out that since that day, Princess Cheng had lost all hope for King Cheng.

Princess Cheng was ready to die.

Seeing that Madam Zhao was still hesitant to take action, Princess Cheng even urged, "Why don't you take action yet?"

Aunt Zhao felt a little distressed for Princess Cheng. She said, "The Queen Mother originally wanted to sentence you to death, but the Emperor gave you a chance to live and asked the Queen Mother to take back the white silk."

Princess Cheng opened her tightly closed eyes, tears flickering in her eyes.

She didn't expect that King Cheng would do such a wrong thing. She shaved her head and trampled on the reputation of the royal family. Even when the Queen Mother couldn't tolerate her, the Emperor was still willing to give her, King Cheng's bedmate, a way to live.

Nanny Zhao didn't say anything more. She bowed and went back to the palace to report.

Nanny Zhao did not hide anything from the Empress Dowager and told her everything. After hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt a chill run down her spine.
