i want to marry a princess

There was chaos in the darkness, Sima Yi thought of the former emperor, what his father said to him before his death.

He said that the road of a king has been a lonely road since ancient times, and he can only follow the same road when he ascends the throne in the future.The only difference is that because he is the Ninth Five Lord, he can have everything he wants as much as possible.But for this, he needs to pay some price.

Before the father could finish his words, suddenly, the screen changed, and he saw Concubine Xiao standing in front of him covered in blood. Her stomach was cut open, and she looked terrified. On the ground lay a newborn baby. .

The baby suddenly opened its eyes, and a pair of scarlet eyes stared at him like poisonous snakes.

Before he could recover, the picture began to change again. This time he came to a lake in the palace. The emerald green lake was very calm.

At this time, he noticed something floating on the lake, slowly getting closer.

He finally saw clearly that it was his only daughter, Princess Jingxiu.

Immediately, he was heartbroken.

It was also at this moment that a strange scene appeared again. Jingxiu, who was originally floating on the lake, suddenly floated up like a ghost, and her originally cute and handsome face became eerie.

What made him terrified was that Jing Xiu flew towards him, stuck out her tongue, and said viciously: "Father, save me! Father, save me!"

"help me!--"

Sima Yi suddenly sat up from the couch, frightening Li Xiu who was beside him.

"Your Majesty, you are finally awake! Thank God!"

When Sima Yi heard the news of Princess Jingxiu's death, he was so anxious that he spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out, terrified that everyone present was frightened.

Sima Yi didn't answer him right away, but looked around the room and recognized that it was his dormitory.The next moment he also remembered the previous nightmare and the reality he was unwilling to accept.

Such cognition made him look dim.

Li Xiu sensed his emotions, losing two heirs and one concubine in one day is enough for him, the king of a country, to bear it.Moreover, Concubine Xiao gave birth to a baby boy, if it can grow up healthily, that would be great...

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

"For the sake of the country and the country, please take care of the dragon's body!"

Sima Yi listened to these words of consolation, but he couldn't get any comfort in his heart.He took a deep breath and asked Li Xiu, "How long has it been?"

Li Xiu replied: "Back to the emperor, it's the third quarter of Hai hour, and you have been asleep for two hours."

Feeling a headache, Sima Yi stretched out his hand and squeezed his temples, and then he asked: "The reason why Jingxiu fell into the lake has been found out? Where was the person who served beside me at that time?"

Li Xiu knew that with Sima Yi's personality, he would definitely ask questions as soon as he woke up, so he ordered someone to investigate early in the morning.

"Back to the emperor. At that time, the assassin suddenly attacked, and the hall was in chaos. In order to avoid it, the maid serving Princess Jingxiu carried the princess and left the hall. Unexpectedly, she was placed on the order." Li Xiu paused, and then said: "The Royal Army When Princess Jingxiu was found in the lake, she was already dead, and the maid who served her was also gone. As for why the princess fell into the lake... I don’t know yet. But Princess Danyang is investigating .”

Not wanting to hear this, Sima Yi said angrily, "What's the reason?!"

Li Xiu lowered her head and dared not answer.

Sima Yi was really angry this time.

Losing two flesh and blood in one day, who would not feel uncomfortable?

After a while, Sima Yi told himself in his heart that he needed to calm down, and he spoke again, this time asking about the funeral of Concubine Xiao and the two deceased sons.

Li Xiudao: "The empress dowager ordered the empress Zhao Zhaoyi to handle the funeral affairs of the empress Xiao, the little prince and Princess Jingxiu."

The Empress Dowager had always trusted Zhao Laiyi a lot, and when Concubine Xiao left, the Empress Dowager's move was obviously to support Zhao Laiyi.

Undoubtedly, the Queen Mother is the calmest person in the harem.

After Sima Yi fell into a coma, the Empress Dowager immediately ordered the palace staff to send him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and immediately ordered Zhao Laiyi to handle various affairs in the palace. Now Zhao Laiyi is in the same position as the deputy empress.

Sima Yi didn't say anything about this, he thought of Concubine Xiao, that poetic and bookish, noble woman with a bit of a scholar.He originally planned to make her a noble concubine after she gave birth to the prince, and make her child the crown prince, but now he is only facing two corpses.

And Kyung Soo...

Her innocent and lovely face still seems to flash in my mind.

All this made Sima Yi feel sad.

However, he is the emperor, he is the king of a country, and there is not much time left for him to be sad.

"Xuan Huo is like the wind."

Huo Rufeng arrived soon, and when he entered the door, he quickly raised his head and glanced at Sima Yi who was lying on the bed in outer clothes.

With just one glance, he lowered his head again.

It was the first time seeing Sima Yi looking so weak, but the anger in those eyes was clearly visible.

Huo Rufeng stopped three steps away from the bed, "My subject, Huo Rufeng, has seen the emperor!"

Sima Yi raised his head and said coldly: "Immediately order to seal off the palace and investigate the identity of the assassin!"

"The minister takes orders! You must live up to the emperor's entrustment!"

As the commander of the Royal Forest Army, an assassin appeared in the palace today, resulting in the death of a queen and two imperial heirs. Huo Rufeng cannot absolve himself of the responsibility. He only hopes to catch the murderer behind the scenes as soon as possible.

After the words fell, Huo Rufeng wanted to leave, but the strange thing was that Sima Yi didn't speak for a long time.

He raised his head, Sima Yi's face was serious, he seemed to be thinking about something, could it be that he had other orders?

However, in the end, only a sigh was heard, followed by Sima Yi's voice.

"Forget it, you do it first."

Huo Rufeng was startled, and retreated silently.He always felt that Sima Yi clearly had other orders just now, but for some reason he didn't say them in the end.

The room became quiet again, Sima Yi asked Li Xiu beside him, "Where's Danyang?"

Li Xiu replied: "Go back to the emperor, Princess Danyang is in the outer hall, and Marquis Cheng En is also here."

Only then did Sima Yi remember that he hadn't seen the eldest princess and others in the side hall before, and the eldest princess is pregnant now, so I don't know if it will be a problem.

"Is Aunt Huang okay?"

"Back to the emperor, the eldest princess went to the outer hall with Xuan Pinghou and others, but she was a little frightened, and it was fine. But because the eldest princess is pregnant, Xuan Pinghou sent the eldest princess out of the palace and back to the mansion first."

Sima Yi nodded, "That's fine."

Now this palace does not know whether it is safe or not, leaving the palace is indeed the best.

Thinking of this, Sima Yi laughed in his heart, who is surrounded by the tall red wall in the palace?

Li Xiu looked at Sima Yi's face that had changed a lot in one day, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!"

Sima Yi smiled wryly, "Li Xiu, do you think I am destined to have no children or grandchildren just like what the court lady said?"

Li Xiu was surprised, she was not in the palace when she escorted the queen mother away, so she didn't hear this sentence.

"Who is so bold to curse the emperor! You, the emperor, are the son of the real dragon, with great blessings and blessings, and with the blessing of heaven, you will have both sons and daughters in the future!"

Sima Yi just smiled when he heard that, who would dare to tell him the truth.

"Wait for me to get dressed."

Sensing Sima Yi's sudden change of mood, Li Xiu was taken aback, and sighed: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that you need to rest well."

Sima Yi waved his hand, "I am the king of a country, aren't I?"

Hearing this, Li Xiu couldn't say any more, and stepped forward to help Sima Yi get dressed.

Li Xiu was buttoning his cuffs when he heard Sima Yi say: "I will pass on my will, concubine Xiao as Concubine Xiao, the emperor's son as Crown Prince, and Jingxiu as Princess Lingyang."

Sima Yi's words revealed deep self-blame and helplessness, Li Xiu sighed in his heart, the deceased is gone, the glory behind him may be the last sympathy that the living can express.

After Sima Yi put on his clothes, he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation. As soon as he left the door of the hall, he felt gusts of cold wind pouring into the hall, and fine raindrops sprinkled on his face.

"Your Majesty, I didn't notice it for a while, but it started to rain." Li Xiu hurriedly chased after him, holding a handful of oil paper mountains in his hand.

The two of Guo Chan under the eaves heard the voice and also found Sima Yi who had just left the palace.

"I have seen the emperor."

When Lu Jinyan saluted, he saw Sima Yi's deep eyes were misty, and he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to him. Apart from his status as the king of a country, he was just an ordinary person, a father, and a husband.

Guo Chan frowned. It had been a long time since he had seen such a depressed Sima Yi. Even though his appearance was only a little weaker, Guo Chan could feel that what he had experienced might be thousands of times what he had experienced on the surface.

Sima Yi naturally saw the expressions of the two of them, and he forced the corners of his lips to curl up, "Why haven't you left the palace yet?"

Guo Chan said: "Let's go into the palace and talk, cousin."

The rare gentleness of this call made Sima Yi stunned for a moment.The original plan of blowing the wind was too late to clarify, and Guo Chan had already led him back.

Li Xiu threw the umbrella that had not yet been opened to the little eunuch at the side, and followed into the hall.

Because of Sima Yi's illness, the Hall of Mental Cultivation was already burning with charcoal.

Looking at Sima Yi's pale face, Guo Chan couldn't help but said, "Cousin, you need to rest well these days, and leave the rest to me."

If someone else said this, they would only feel that this person had ulterior motives and took the opportunity to gain power, but Guo Chan would not, and Sima Yi knew she would not.

Sima Yi glanced at Lu Jinyan, "Thank you for your hard work. However, I can still persist. This is my responsibility, and Jingxiu, Huang'er, and Concubine Xiao... I must give them an explanation no matter what. .”

Sima Yi used "I" instead of Zhen. At this time, Sima Yi was fragile, and the deep pain in his eyes could not deceive anyone.

Guo Chan raised her eyes just in time to see Lu Jinyan looking at her, and she saw the unbearable look in Lu Jinyan's eyes.She understood what Lu Jinyan meant, but she also had her own considerations.

After thinking over and over again, Guo Chan slowly said: "Cousin, I have seen the remains of Jingxiu and the maid who served beside her."

Sima Yi knew that she would not bring up this matter for no reason, "Did you find anything?"

Guo Chan nodded, "There are deep fingerprints on Jingxiu's neck. I think she was strangled until she was suffocated before being thrown into the lake."

It is undoubtedly cruel to mention the death of a daughter in front of a father.

Sima Yi obviously stopped breathing, "He was strangled to death?"

While talking, the image of Jingxiu being pinched by someone appeared in Sima Yi's mind, and his ruddy and fair face gradually became pale and colorless.

Guo Chan knew that she was too cruel, but for the sake of the truth, she had to let herself answer.

"Yes, as for the palace maid, she was drowned in the lake." Guo Chan glanced at him, and said, "And I found that the fingerprints on Jingxiu's neck matched the palace maid's hand."

Hearing this, Sima Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Okay, okay! How many loopholes are there in this palace, and how many spies have sneaked in?!"

Guo Chan was silent, she never thought that it was the people around Princess Jingxiu who killed her.

'"Can you find out the origin of the maid?!"

Guo Chan shook her head, "It's convenient for people in the palace to investigate the affairs of the inner palace."

Hearing this, Sima Yi immediately said: "Li Xiu, I order you to investigate immediately. I will know everything about the people, things she has done, and where she has been to that court lady during this period of time!"

Li Xiu took the order and went immediately, even though it was already late at night.

As soon as Li Xiu left, Sima Yi asked the court ladies and eunuchs who were waiting on the side to retreat outside the main hall, and then said: "Tell me, Danyang, what else do you find?"
