Sister, be yourself!

Chapter 170 Choice

Facing Xiao Yuanzhi, the emperor's emotions obviously calmed down a lot, "Luan'er, Wei Zisu's crime is deceiving the emperor, and he must be executed for the crime."

Wei Zisu looked at Xiao Yuanzhi who was standing in front of her, and in addition to being warm and surprised, there was also some complexity in her heart. His Majesty has been planning for so long, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape this time.

"Father, Senior Sister and I agree in love. We should have been together long ago, but because of some misunderstandings, we separated. Senior Sister disguised herself as a man for me, otherwise she wouldn't have taken care of so many things. I will not encounter these dangers, even if the emperor wants to punish me, I know about this matter, please also punish me with the emperor."

Xiao Yuanzhi downplayed the charge of deceiving the emperor, and only said the word "punishment", so the charge was lowered a lot.

How could the emperor not know Xiao Yuanzhi's thoughts, she still had a chance, "Wei Zisu seduces the princess, it is a crime to be punished, I know you are young, and you are trapped by her fabricated love network, so you will allow her to take advantage of you. Help her now, I can understand, after I have punished her and beheaded her for public display, after a while, I will choose a son-in-law for you who is thousands of times better than her."

The queen also persuaded: "My mother is someone who has been there, and I know that you will not bear to let Wei Zisu die, but she has committed a heinous crime, and now it is well known to everyone, even if your father does not deal with her, this civil and military hundred The officer will not let her go."

The emperor said again: "Luan'er, you trust father, who loves you the most, and will definitely find you a man who is thousands of times better than Wei Zisu."

Xiao Yuanzhi didn't understand, why would she make such excuses for loving her father and queen mother so much? Could it be that being a woman is the original sin?

"No! There is only one Wei Zisu in the world. I only want her, and I don't want anyone else except her!"

"If Royal Father insists on executing Wei Zisu, I will never live alone!"

Xiao Yuanzhi met the emperor's eyes, each time he spoke more firmly.

"Are you threatening me?"

Xiao Yuanzhi did not beat around the bush, but said directly: "Yes."

The emperor smiled instead of anger, but there was no trace of warmth in his smile. Imperial power has never been challenged by anyone, even his own daughter.

"Come here, take Wei Zisu down for me!"

The Imperial Forest Army approached the two of them together, one of them took out some white powder and sprinkled it on the two of them while they were unprepared, Xiao Yuanzhi hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, but it was already too late.

Seeing that her legs were weak and she was about to kneel on the ground, Wei Zisu quickly went to pull her. At the same time, several knives were placed on her neck.

Xiao Yuanzhi shook his drowsy head, and his body was also very weak, "As the imperial army, you actually learn those despicable methods and prescribe medicine?"

"Your Highness, I have offended you. We know that we are no match for the two of you, so we made this move."

Because Wei Zisu held his breath in time, there was nothing serious, but the knife attached to his neck was really cold.

She knew very well that breaking in now was by no means a good way, so why not just see if His Majesty's real intentions are the same as what she had originally guessed, and how he wants to use her as bait.

Xiao Yuanzhi didn't know the emperor's plan, let alone what Wei Zisu thought, the only thing she knew was that she couldn't let Wei Zisu die, absolutely not!

So when the Imperial Forest Army helped her aside, she took advantage of one of them's unpreparedness, drew his saber, and quickly pressed it against her neck.

Wei Zisu's heart was lifted in an instant, and he said anxiously: "My daughter-in-law doesn't want it!"

Everyone in the main hall was terrified, and several imperial guards wanted to step forward again, but Xiao Yuanzhi scolded: "If any of you step forward, I will kill myself here!"

"Put the knife down quickly."

Through Wei Zisu's eyes, Xiao Yunzhi saw that all Wei Zisu's emotions were caused by her. This is what she wanted in her dreams before, and of course she got it later, she smiled at Wei Zisu , "Father, if you really want to execute Senior Sister, then I assure you, I will be the first to die."

"I know you guys are good to me, but I can't live without her. Even if I can't stay with her for the rest of my life, I will follow her after death."

Wei Zisu's voice softened a lot, "Daughter-in-law is obedient, put down the knife."

Xiao Yuanzhi shook his head, "I don't want to see you die."

"As long as you're alive, I won't die."

The corner of Xiao Yuanzhi's mouth was filled with bitterness, how could they have the final say in the imperial power society, she was still too naive, thinking that the father, the queen and the queen would love the house and the black.

Wei Zisu's eyes were covered with mist, "Daughter-in-law, I have never lied to you, this time, I will not lie to you either, trust me, put down the knife quickly, don't hurt yourself."

Xiao Yuanzhi still shook his head, "Father, Queen Mother, if you touch Eldest Sister, I will kill myself immediately!"

Wei Zisu was anxious, and the emperor was even more anxious, because he was afraid that Xiao Yuanzhi would lose his grip, so he wiped his neck, "I can let Wei Zisu go."

Xiao Yuanzhi was slightly taken aback, she was already ready to kill herself immediately, but she didn't expect her father to agree?

Xiao Yuanzhi looked at the emperor, "Really?"

"You have no jokes."

Xiao Yuanzhi couldn't believe it, and heard the emperor say again: "It's just that I let her go, is she going to pretend to be a man for the rest of her life?"

"As long as my father allows her to resign, I can go back to the fields with my eldest sister, so that all civil and military officials will not notice her, and I am not in the capital. After a long time, no one will remember us."

"What about your fief?"

"I can give it back to my father, as long as I can be with the eldest sister, I don't need anything."

Her answer was all in the emperor's expectation, she didn't even want her life, so she would not care about other things, "That's a good idea, who do you think is the most suitable for the crown prince, the second emperor or the fifth emperor?"

Xiao Yuanzhi felt very strange, the emperor's question was too inexplicable, he was clearly discussing her and Wei Zisu's issue, why did he talk about the prince again?

The emperor continued: "If they can win among these princes, they must be superior, but if any of them sit in my seat, do you think they will let you go?"

"I didn't even grab the throne from them, why didn't they let me go? Are they sick?"

The emperor laughed, laughing at this daughter is still too stupid, but it is true that Wei Zisu is needed by the side as the national teacher said.

"As a king, suspicion will increase day by day, not to mention that you have too much."

"Wouldn't it be better for me to give you back what I rewarded?"

The emperor sighed softly, "Luan'er, once the seed of jealousy is planted, when the power becomes too great, someone will always be swallowed by it."

"If they ascend to the throne, even if I don't kill Wei Zisu today, they will eradicate Wei Zisu, not only because of you, but also because the fat of the Wei family can fill their stomachs."

The emperor's direct point made Xiao Yuanzhi a little panicked, "Father let us go first, let's hide well, and then think of a way."

The emperor knew that Xiao Yuanzhi was deliberately avoiding, but he didn't expose it. He followed her train of thought and said, "Are you going to hide for the rest of your life? Live in fear for the rest of your life? You are wandering around every day, and you dare not show your true identity?"

Xiao Yuanzhi lowered his eyes, "There is nothing wrong with being an anonymous knight."

It's just that the voice betrayed her, and she has no confidence at all.

The emperor didn't intend to give Xiao Yuanzhi another chance to escape, "What about Wei Zisu's family? Watching them die?"

"I...I didn't think about it."

Xiao Yuanzhi hates that now, she is still the same as before, so useless, no one can protect her.

In fact, it doesn’t need to be said by the emperor, Wei Zisu also knows that her family’s business is too big, she has been missed by others, and it will be a matter of time before she is plotted against. After her identity was exposed, she couldn't do it anymore. Once the second prince or fifth prince came to the throne, they would definitely attack the Wei family.

"Unless you have supreme power, you can protect the people you want to protect."

Xiao Yuanzhi murmured: "The supreme right..."

Isn't that like being an emperor? !

When Xiao Yuanzhi was thinking, the emperor ordered: "Bring up the person who spread the rumor."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Royal Forest Army pressed a man into the hall, and saw that his hands and feet were wearing iron chains, and the blood stains on his prison uniform proved that he was not living comfortably.

Pushed by the Imperial Forest Army, Qin Yiluo directly knelt on the ground.

Xiao Yuanzhi frowned, "Qin Yiluo?"

After being called out, Qin Yiluo, who was still a little dazed before, came to his senses, and followed the sound, "Little Junior Sister."

Qin Yiluo was startled, and wanted to get up again and walk towards Xiao Yuanzhi, "Little Junior Sister, what are you doing with the knife? Put it down quickly."

The Imperial Forest Army was also quick-sighted, and quickly brought Qin Yiluo under control.

"Luan'er, you also know this person. He is the one who exposed Wei Zisu's identity and made it known to everyone."

Qin Yiluo was very excited, "Junior Sister, I just want you to see clearly that Wei Zisu is not a good person, everything she does is to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, only I really love you, Junior Sister, you have to believe me .”

Xiao Yuanzhi looked at the emperor, his eyes seemed to ask him what he meant.

"Luan'er, if you want to achieve great things, you are bound to sacrifice, and some people cannot be kept."

The emperor raised his hand slightly, and a stone flew out of his hand, hitting Xiao Yunzhi's wrist.

"Boom-"

The knife in Xiao Yuanzhi's hand fell to the ground, and the emperor continued: "But it depends on whether you want to sacrifice Wei Zisu or get rid of Qin Yiluo. You can only choose one of these two."

If you want to be an emperor, your hands should not be too clean.

Wei Zisu now fully understands that the emperor has been setting up this trick from the very beginning, earlier than she knew, and it's probably not just Qin Yiluo and his backstage who are promoting the spread of rumors this time. people, and the emperor.

Otherwise, how could everyone know about the trouble, only when they were pushed to a desperate situation, would Xiao Yunzhi willingly sit on the throne.

But, is it really that simple?

But if it wasn't that simple, Wei Zisu really couldn't think of any reason.

Xiao Yuanzhi looked at the knife on the ground, her mind was very confused, she shouldn't be so entangled, but Qin Yiluo is a real person, he has done many things that are worse than animals, but if she wants to kill him personally, she still goes down Do not do it.

"Father, I don't want to be an emperor, I don't want my elder sister to die, and I don't want to kill anyone."

Since the emperor has been forcing Xiao Yuanzhi, he will definitely not let her go easily, "The one who will die will be Wei Zisu."

"Are you really willing to die for Wei Zisu?"

"No!"
