Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 356 - 22: Her Highness the Princess (22)
Seeing the chubby Little Princess, Princess Consort Ping also felt a bit guilty, her own child had changed so much because she hadn’t taken good care of her.
Furthermore, the Sixth Princess had done an excellent job educating her, as the Little Princess was very close to Princess Consort Ping, remembered her as the mother concubine. It was evident that the Princess had been teaching the Little Princess, and the Little Princess respected the Sixth Princess, which made her feel more and more that sending the Little Princess here was the right decision.
The Fifth Princess was having an unsatisfactory life in the west, her mother-in-law grudged her, her husband did not like her, and even those concubines dared to bully her.
When she heard that her Brother had ascended to the throne, the Fifth Princess was momentarily so excited that she couldn’t contain herself.
It must be known that upon hearing the news that the Sixth Princess had become the Crown Prince, and then the Emperor, she felt both frightened and jealous in her heart.
Unexpectedly, that Xiao Six was actually foolish enough to give the throne to her Brother, haha, and he was her own Brother, too.
The Fifth Princess thought for a while and then directly went to Mrs. Zhao, saying she wanted to return to the Imperial City.
Of course, Mrs. Zhao did not permit it.
After all, she knew what kind of life the Fifth Princess had been living in the Zhao Family over the years; if the Fifth Princess returned to the Imperial City and the Emperor became furious, the Zhao Family would be finished.
The Fifth Princess contemplated and said she would bring her husband along to seek a future for him.
Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and agreed, but she kept the Fifth Princess’s pair of young children.
The Fifth Princess gritted her teeth, ruthlessly packed her things, and set off for the Imperial City with Mr. Zhao.
After the Empress was abandoned by the Emperor and Princess Consort Ping gave birth to another son, the Fifth Princess returned to the Imperial City.
Feeling the long-lost prosperity, the entire body of the Fifth Princess trembled with excitement, she had returned.
The Emperor was quite happy about the arrival of the Fifth Princess, after all, she was his own sister.
The Fifth Princess lamented to the Emperor, and the Emperor sighed in his heart, saying that if Fifth Sister had lived her life properly, she probably wouldn’t have ended up like that.
With the Emperor’s deterrence, Mr. Zhao settled down as well. But the Emperor did not mention helping the Fifth Princess get vent.
As for the originally promised pursuit of a future or anything like that, the Fifth Princess didn’t even think about it; she’d have to be crazy to seek a future for this man.
The Emperor bestowed the Princess Mansion to the Fifth Princess, and she started a life of drunken stupor.
One day, she remembered the Sixth Princess and rode her horse to the Summer Palace area to brag to Li Shuning.
Li Shuning completely ignored her and instead had her thrown out of the Summer Palace.
The Fifth Princess returned to the palace and cried to the Emperor.
But the Emperor reprimanded the Fifth Princess, telling her to behave herself.
The Fifth Princess left the Emperor in tears, only to run into the Empress.
The Empress, who was also discontented, coincidentally teamed up with the dissatisfied Fifth Princess.
Her own Brother favored Xiao Six, which made the Fifth Princess unwilling in her heart.
With the Empress’s incitement, the Fifth Princess even thought, since Xiao Six could be Emperor, why couldn’t she?
Concerning his own sister, the Emperor still trusted her.
When the Fifth Princess said she was wrong and wanted to visit the Sixth Princess with the Emperor, the Emperor was very pleased,
happening to be lunchtime, the Emperor invited the Fifth Princess to join him for luncheon.
After dining with the Emperor, the Fifth Princess proceeded to the Summer Palace.
The trip was rather rushed, and the Emperor did not bring many people.
Upon arriving at the Summer Palace, the Fifth Princess even specially took out a pot of wine, saying she wanted to apologize to Li Shuning.
She drank a cup first, expressing her sincerity with a toast.
The Emperor was not suspicious of her, and he, too, poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. First, he berated the Fifth Princess for her rudeness, then pleaded on her behalf, asking Li Shuning not to take it to heart.
Li Shuning also poured a glass of wine, but while drinking, she blocked the cup with her hand and directly replaced the wine in the cup with the juice from the Qiankun Ring, drinking it in one gulp.
Before long, the Emperor felt powerless all over.
After he arrived at the Summer Palace, he had a glass of wine, and the eunuch who had tasted the wine was already limp on the ground.
"Fifth Sister, what do you want to do?"
"Brother, you are my Brother, why do you always help Xiao Six? Do you know what kind of life I live in the northwest? And you never thought about venting my anger. I’ve had enough; didn’t Sixth Sister become an Emperor? If she can, why can’t I? When the time comes, I can vent my own anger. Ha ha, Brother, rest assured, I won’t do anything to you, but Sixth Sister, I want to throw her into the Red Courtyard to soothe my heartache; I just find her displeasing."
The Emperor’s face changed, the Red Courtyard, that was a brothel.
At this time, the little eunuch next to the Emperor ran to report, saying the Summer Palace was surrounded.
"Fifth Sister, where do you get so many people?"
Li Shuzheng laughed: "Brother, the wrath of heaven and resentment of people, you neglect this own sister and even your primary wife can’t stand it."
The Emperor knew right away; the Empress and Fifth Sister had conspired. They probably wanted him to come here with fewer people.
Time changes a person, he smiled bitterly, looking at Li Shuning, and said, "Sixth Sister, it’s all Brother’s fault for getting you involved, Brother let you down."
Seeing the Emperor’s somewhat grim appearance, Li Shuning couldn’t help shaking her head; after all, what she valued was his sense of brotherhood.
Li Shuning looked at the Fifth Princess, who was also poisoned; she was still just as foolish.
Li Shuning stood up, came to the Fifth Princess, and lifted her chin: "Fifth Sister, do you know why you all failed when you plotted against Princess Consort Yun back then?"
Li Shuzheng saw that Li Shuning could still move and was already wide-eyed: "You, how can you still move, didn’t you drink the wine?"
"Fifth Sister, Xiao Six never trusts unreasonable goodwill; your eyes are the biggest flaw. Back when I discovered you all plotting against Princess Consort Yun, you looked at Xiao Six several times, with a look of schadenfreude and pleasure. Today, similarly, your eyes betrayed you; why would Xiao Six drink your wine?"
"Fifth Sister, you probably don’t know, you’re nothing but a pawn in someone else’s hands, you also can’t move, if the Empress succeeds, you’re unlikely to survive either. Yet you were so smug, thinking you could be Emperor, you think everyone can be Emperor."
"But you don’t know, Father left Xiao Six with many life-saving things, the Empress won’t succeed."
Afterwards, the part of the Dark Department kept by Li Shuning took down all the people who had surrounded the Summer Palace.
Those people were related to Prince Ning and the Empress.
Afterwards, the Emperor deposed the Empress, and the Fifth Princess was also placed under house arrest, and as for Prince Ning, he was demoted to a commoner.
The Emperor always respected Li Shuning, and Li Shuning lived without worries, accompanied by a little girl. Her days were full and satisfying.
When she left this world, Li Shuning took away a baby bed.
That bed was meticulously crafted, something not necessarily achievable in the real world.
A small wooden bed made of gold-thread nanmu, inlaid with a Luminous Pearl, with some wooden bells hanging above, all hand-polished.
