Chapter 594: The Foolish Woman Who Died for the Man Who Fakes His Death (1)
"Shuang'er, can't you be stupid?"
Shuangshuang heard this sentence as soon as she woke up, and touched her head with an uncomfortable look.
I called out to Little Orange in my heart, "Hurry up and send the memory ball over here."
The original owner was named Yuwen Shuang, the only daughter of King Zhongyi.
Her father, Yuwen Huai, was a famous wealthy man in the previous dynasty. One day, he went out to do business and encountered pirates. He was rescued by Pingyang Hou who was passing by.
From then on, the two of them became sworn brothers in Taoyuan.
Later, the previous dynasty became corrupt, and Pingyang Hou decided to rise up in rebellion. The original owner's father used all his wealth to help him.
Pingyang Hou finally won the throne!
The new emperor was grateful for the original owner's father's kindness and bestowed upon him the title of King of Loyalty.
He also named his only daughter, the original owner, the Princess of Chang'an, and issued an order to marry her to the third prince Li Xiangze.
It’s a pity that the third prince died of a sudden illness before the original owner got married.
For the sake of her beloved, the original owner married the third prince while holding his tablet, and then committed suicide for love.
But unexpectedly, a few years later, the third prince was not dead and came back with a child of a few years old.
It turned out that he had fallen in love with the senior palace maid beside him and she was pregnant.
But the concubine cannot get pregnant before the wife enters the house. This is the rule.
So he came up with an evil idea and eloped with the palace maid.
I thought that after a few years, when the child was born, the original owner would have to recognize him even if he didn’t want to.
Only then did the original owner's father realize how unjustly his daughter's death was.
As a result, he fell out with the Third Prince and often found fault with him in the court.
In order to prevent the heroine's father from causing trouble for him in the future, the third prince took direct action and wiped out the original owner's entire family for treason.
"Immortal, please avenge me! Li Xiangze is shameless. Now that he has someone he loves, he wants the military power and wealth of my Yuwen family!
They came up with such a disgusting thing to humiliate my family, and even fabricated lies to accuse my father of collaborating with the enemy and selling out his country!
There is also the dog emperor, who appears to be on good terms with my father, but in fact he covets my family's property and allows Li Xiangze to frame my Yuwen clan.
Then let them all die miserably!"
Now when both of them came here, they heard that the third prince was gone.
The original owner went to the emperor and the imperial concubine to express her loyalty, and decided to keep the wedding date unchanged and marry the third prince.
Her mother tearfully advised her to think it over carefully.
After all, as a princess, she would not have trouble finding a husband even if her fiancé died.
Shuangshuang looked at the emperor, empress and imperial concubine through Xiaojuzi's perspective. The empress had a blank expression and no emotion could be seen.
But the imperial concubine was delighted and was waiting for Shuangshuang to make a decision.
They both opened their eyes weakly, tears streaming down their faces before they could say a word, crying like the original owner who was in love.
"Mom, please stop trying to persuade your daughter.
My daughter grew up with her brother Xiangze.
I originally thought that I could grow old together just like described in the storybooks.
But I never knew our fate would be so short-lived."
"But if you really marry his tablet, the rest of your life will be..."
The original owner's mother was considerate of the emperor, empress and imperial concubine in the hall, so she didn't say the word "ruined" at the end.
Shuangshuang's face was full of determination, "Mom, my daughter has made up her mind, please don't try to persuade me anymore."
After saying this, she knelt down in the center of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. I beg Your Majesty to give me your order."
The emperor looked very satisfied. No matter what his son did, he hoped that his daughter-in-law would be on his side.
Not to mention the imperial concubine, both of them were heading in the direction they had planned, it was simply too smooth.
Only the queen sighed slightly and looked at Shuangshuang with pity.
These two pretended not to know and just kept crying to show their loyalty.
Seeing that Shuangshuang had made up her mind, the emperor sighed.
"Alas, you are too honest, kid.
Since this is what you wish, I will do as you wish."
They both bowed again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
Although the emperor wanted to take over the Yuwen family's property, after all, he had loved the original owner since childhood.
Therefore, in order to compensate Shuangshuang for having to be a widow at such a young age, he ordered his personal eunuch to serve.
"Xiao Anzi, go to my private room and pick out some good things to give to Shuang'er."
The imperial concubine was also very generous for once, "Yes, yes, I have a lot of good things here too, I will send them over later."
After saying that, he looked at the queen provocatively and said that as long as Shuangshuang was willing to marry him, these things would belong to his son in the future.
The queen was helpless and looked at Shuangshuang with pity, and also whispered instructions to the female official beside her.
When the other concubines learned about the three big bosses in the palace, they all rewarded Shuangshuang with valuable gifts.
Each of them received rewards according to their own status.
When they both left the palace, they were followed by more than twenty carriages.
Both of them sat in the same carriage with Princess Zhongyi, expressionless on their faces.
Princess Zhongyi wiped her tears and looked at Shuangshuang, "Shuang'er, you silly child, what are you going to do in the future?"
Shuangshuang had already discovered through Xiaojuzi a sneaky black shadow hiding under their carriage.
Therefore, after hearing what Mrs. Yuwen said, he deliberately sighed.
"Mother, please don't give me any advice.
My daughter has made up her mind. Since we cannot live together in this life, we must be buried together in death!"
The man in black left quietly after a long while.
When they returned home, the original owner's father was also holding Shuangshuang and sighing.
"You silly boy, why don't you just be intimate with me when you have such a good opportunity?
Then I'll find you a young and talented son-in-law, and your life will be beautiful."
