Chapter 366: If the King Wants His Subject to Die, the Subject Must Die
After the princess was sent here, she didn't have nothing.
As they saw, she could actually do whatever she wanted here, do things she had never done before.
In fact, no one can restrain him here. The guards here will only obey her orders and protect her loyally.
"Didn't the emperor ask you to pray here?"
"That's just what I say to outsiders." Facing Gu Chaoxi's question, the princess was disdainful.
In fact, the person who divined for the emperor only said that a person of royal blood was needed to guard the underground palace of the ancient Anning Temple.
As for whether to pray for blessings or not, it is not a very important matter at all.
The other party's purpose was just to trap her in this place so that she could not do anything.
It was only after she had been here for some time that she found out the truth.
Later I heard that the emperor wanted to offer a sacrifice, which required a child born to his favorite woman.
Over the past decade, everyone knew who the emperor loved the most, and that was the embroiderer, and the person chosen was the embroiderer's child.
So, she was once again pushed to the forefront of the storm.
But this time the emperor temporarily refused, saying that she was still praying in the underground palace and was not suitable for sacrifice.
This matter was temporarily forgotten, but people with a keen eye will always take these words to heart.
Just like the Minister who mocked her.
"Mr. Shilang, you didn't catch him, did you?"
Gu Chaoxi suddenly spoke, and the princess raised her eyes and looked at her leisurely.
He did not deny it, but just took a sip of the water cup, and then slowly put the cup down before saying, "You are very smart."
Although she was a princess and had absolute power in this underground palace, she had not yet developed to the point where she could send someone out to capture a court official on her own.
Isn't this behavior a challenge to the emperor's authority? She is not that stupid.
Besides, she was in the underground palace all day long. How could she know whether this minister was slandering her outside?
The reason why the minister was brought here was of course that he did something bad and offended the emperor.
So, find a reason to throw the person into the underground palace.
Not only could it entertain her, it also eliminated a hidden danger in the court.
It’s a pity that this minister was so stupid that he didn’t even know where he went wrong when he died.
"What's the difference between you and being the emperor's executioner?"
Pei Yan lowered his voice, and for a moment it was unclear whether he was feeling sorry for the princess.
However, this sigh did not win much favor from the princess. On the contrary, she kept looking at Gu Chaoxi and continued speaking slowly.
Now counting, she has been in this underground palace for a year.
However, she didn't have much time left.
"What do you mean?"
The sudden turn in her words made Gu Chaoxi detect something different, and he asked hurriedly.
But the princess shook her head and said, "If the king wants me to die, I have to die."
She was a minister first and then a daughter. Unfortunately, the emperor had too many daughters, and even if she was missing one, it would not be enough.
"Someone wants to cause a war?"
Gu Chaoxi asked this question quickly and stared closely at the person in front of him.
As for why she didn't ask who caused the war, it was because she realized that the time now was much earlier than the start of the war.
Therefore, the princess currently does not know who caused the incident. She only knows that the court is in chaos and the emperor’s regime is no longer so stable.
Although the people below want to cause war, they are still wary of the imperial power at present, so they always fight on a small scale.
But if the foundation is really shaken, it will be absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, the sacrifice that was originally mentioned now focuses on her.
"The emperor wants you to die." This time Gu Chaoxi spoke in an affirmative tone.
When the imperial power is threatened, the emperor naturally cannot remain indifferent. He will be afraid that his power will be overthrown. At this time, anything that is of some use will be good to him.
"Yeah, so I don't have much time to live."
She has always known that due to her identity, many things are beyond her control.
Some people were often sent to the underground palace. Some were officials in the court, and some were people who had close ties with these people.
Send these people to the underground palace and they will be disposed of in the end.
Could it be that so many people didn't know the truth? Could it be that they didn't know that the emperor wanted them dead?
All they knew was that none of them dared to disobey the emperor or shake the imperial power, so all the hatred fell on her.
Several people asked her if she was willing.
But her thoughts didn't matter.
After taking another sip of tea, the princess put the cup down.
"The emperor is afraid that I will run away, so he will bury all the secrets related to me, so you should leave quickly."
She finished speaking and brushed her sleeves.
In an instant, the two of them seemed to be blown away by something and fell out of the curtain.
There was a burning pain on his back, and Gu Chaoxi grimaced in pain. The next moment, he got up from the ground, holding a dagger and wanted to find the princess to ask for an explanation.
But there is no room in front of me.
On the moss-covered stone wall, there were only a few tattered pieces of cloth. They looked like they had been there for a long time and had faded, no longer as bright red as they had been before.
She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Pei Yan pulled her and ran in the direction they came from.
"We need to find Weiwei and Qi Chuzhao and leave here."
The princess' room disappeared, which meant the same thing would happen on the other side.
If they don't want to be trapped in this cave, they must leave the cave as soon as possible and return to the ancient Anning Temple.
Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything, but just lowered her eyes. There were some things she felt the princess didn't tell her completely.
For example, why did the emperor have to use the princess when he could have dealt with those people directly?
The princess said that the emperor was a man who was extremely obsessed with ghosts and gods, so he would place his hopes on ghosts and gods.
He handed those people over to the princess to deal with, which not only allowed him to avoid the so-called cause and effect of ghosts and gods.
At the same time, the princess also had a handle in his hand. Even if the princess disobeyed in the future, he would have many ways to make her obedient.
Even though he had declared the princess dead in his heart, he was still worried that the princess would pose a threat to him.
Look, this is the superior.
The two came out of the small path and turned into the road next to it.
The inside was still illuminated by the candlesticks on the rock wall. As the two people moved, the light from the candlesticks on both sides trembled, repeatedly casting their shadows on the stone wall.
As we went deeper and deeper, the view in front of us suddenly became wider.
It's like a huge cage, and each cage is divided into different small cages, and there are people in these cages.
Almost everyone was covered in bruises, just like what we saw under the platform before.
