Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills
Chapter 24 Either he dies or I die
Yan Donghuang looked at Mrs. Chu who was almost fainted, Chu Yuanzheng who had already fainted, and the children of the Chu family who were frightened and angry, and ordered lightly: "Take them all to the dungeon of the Princess's Mansion. If there is not enough space, squeeze them together. They are all prisoners, and they will not tolerate this grievance."
Mo Lin accepted the order: "Yes."
Yan Donghuang looked at the Qingluan Army who were still busy, gave a few simple instructions, and turned back to the mansion.
She was tired.
After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Yan Donghuang ordered someone to fetch water, and after a careful bath and change of clothes, she lay on the bed and slept for half an hour, completely ignoring the chaos in the palace.
After waking up, she put on a single outfit that was easy to move, ordered someone to bring food, and went out to see Prince An.
Prince An Yan Ling was locked in a separate room, and someone was guarding outside. He couldn't run away, but no one made things difficult for him.
Lunch was one meat and one vegetable, and the care was quite thoughtful.
Judging from the position of the bowls and chopsticks on the table and the untouched food, Prince An obviously had no intention of eating.
When Yan Donghuang pushed the door open, he saw him standing in front of the window looking at the back garden, his slender back looked a little lonely.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yan Ling turned to look at Yan Donghuang, with a gentle smile on his lips: "We haven't talked to each other for a long time."
Yan Donghuang hummed: "It's true that we haven't talked for a long time."
Changlan went forward to collect all the untouched meals on the table, and Changyue put the newly brought food on the table, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, two soups, two bowls of rice, and two sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Yan Ling walked to the table and sat down: "I want to know the whole truth of the matter."
"The whole truth?" Yan Donghuang sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat, his expression calm and composed, "Yesterday at the wedding, Sheng Jingan poisoned my wedding wine, it was the Seven Days Heartbreak Powder."
Yan Ling was stunned, staring at Yan Donghuang in disbelief, and now he was judging whether what she said was true or false.
Yan Donghuang said calmly: "It's absolutely true."
Yan Ling tightened his chopsticks a little bit: "He really deserves to die."
"After poisoning, he probably had the confidence, thinking that I was afraid of death and would be controlled by him, so he couldn't wait to bring his concubine Shen Yun to me, saying that she was his co-wife, and Shen Yun was already pregnant." Yan Donghuang said, looking up at Yan Ling, "Seventh brother, tell me, have you never known about Shen Yun and Sheng Jingan?"
Yan Ling was stunned, then shook his head: "I have never heard of it."
"Seventh brother is a bright and upright person, probably no one has reported these dirty things to you." Yan Donghuang smiled lightly and believed him, "It may also be that the news has been blocked and too few people know about it, so I have never heard of it."
After all, everyone knows that marrying a woman is a good thing, and running away is a concubine.
Aristocratic families value reputation, and they will never let their daughters get pregnant before marriage. Once it is spread out, it will ruin their reputation and bring shame to the family.
If someone knows that the Duke of Zhenguo has a concubine in his mansion without any status, he will be scolded and criticized by historians.
That's why they concealed the news.
"Sheng Jing'an said that there is an antidote for the Seven-Day Heartbreak Powder. As long as I obey him, he will give me the antidote once every seven days. However, this poison will slowly dissipate my martial arts and make me weak. I can only rest in the backyard of the Sheng family and never go to the battlefield again." Yan Donghuang said, with a cold smile on his lips, "Seventh Brother, do you think this is Sheng Jing'an's own idea?"
Yan Ling's expression changed slightly, and his mouth tightened involuntarily.
The blue veins on the back of his white hand showed his inner restlessness.
The Duke's Mansion started with military merits, and after the peak, it began to decline and gradually became worse than before.
The deceased old Duke was far-sighted and knew that his son was not good at martial arts and was not proficient in military tactics, so he tried to make friends and get close to her, and arranged a marriage for his son with Princess Dang.
Having a daughter-in-law who is good at fighting and fighting is enough to make the Duke's Mansion regain its former glory. The military exploits of the princess are the foundation of the Sheng family.
Even if Sheng Jingan has a concubine, he would never dare to act wildly in front of the princess, let alone let Yan Donghuang become a useless person - what a stupid person would do such a stupid thing.
Unless someone is afraid of the military power in her hands and wants to get rid of her through Sheng Jingan, and promises him greater benefits.
As for who is afraid of her, do you still need to think about it?
Yan Ling looked at the food on the table and didn't know what to say for a while.
He knew that Donghuang would not mobilize troops for rebellion without reason, and it was even more impossible to mobilize troops for a trivial matter in the house.
Moreover, the abnormal expression of the emperor when he heard Donghuang mobilized troops in the morning...
Yan Ling did not speak for a long time, the luster in his eyes gradually disappeared, the corners of his mouth turned white, and his expression was gloomy and depressed: "Donghuang, is there really no family affection in the royal family?"
Yan Donghuang lowered his head to eat, his voice was cold as frost: "I thought there was, but the facts overturned my belief."
"You are a princess, I thought he would not be afraid." Yan Ling said bitterly, "Several brothers in the royal family are gone, and I am the only one left. Sometimes I think that the reason I can survive may not only be because I have always supported him, but also because I do not seek personal gain, do not hold real power, and just live a leisurely and wealthy life without fighting with the world, but I choose not to hold real power because I have no sense of security and fear of suspicion, right?"
This may be the sadness of being in the royal family. True love is too luxurious and too cheap.
Yan Donghuang said indifferently: "Let's eat. This is the first meal I have eaten since last night."
Yan Ling was silent for a moment, and then spoke softly: "Is there no room for maneuver in this matter?"
"No." Yan Donghuang said indifferently, "Either he dies or I die."
"But have you thought about the generals under your command?"
"If I die, do you think he will let go of the generals of the Qingluan Army?" Yan Donghuang asked back, "No one knows the soldiers under my command better than me. They are all very capable and can lead troops alone, but it is precisely because of this that the emperor cannot tolerate them."
As long as she dies, the seven generals will surely die.
So why not go all out?
Yan Ling was speechless.
"Seventh brother, stay in the princess's mansion for a few days. I will have people treat you well. No matter how the situation develops in the future, you will not be implicated."
After saying this, Yan Donghuang put down his chopsticks, got up and walked out.
The door was closed behind him.
Step by step, walking towards the outer courtyard, the soldiers of the Yaoguang Battalion of the Qingluan Army carried boxes of silver into the Princess's Mansion. Under Xie Yunjian's arrangement, they were neatly and orderly sent to the storehouse of the Princess's Mansion.
"Your Highness." Xie Yunjian saw Donghuang coming and turned to her. "I heard from Mo Lin that Your Highness plans to distribute this silver to the soldiers of the Qingluan Army?"
"Yes." Yan Donghuang nodded. "After distributing the silver, ordinary soldiers can get more than ten taels of silver each, which is enough for their families to improve their lives temporarily. The gold will be kept first. When the matter of the imperial city is over, it will be used to purchase armor and war horses, and some weapons in the army will also be replaced."
Xie Yunjian was silent for a moment, and smiled calmly: "I'm afraid the old emperor will be so angry that he will vomit blood."
The silver seized from the homes of corrupt officials was used to provide pensions to soldiers, and war horses and weapons were also purchased. From the emperor's perspective, it was really arrogant to completely ignore the emperor and the queen mother.
Yan Donghuang's voice was as hard as iron: "From today on, he and I are no longer brothers and sisters, monarchs and subjects, but enemies, so it doesn't matter if he gets angry or vomits blood."
