Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 916 Tell the truth

The eldest princess' voice was still a little choked up: "Thank you, father."

Nangong Xuanyu knew that no matter how bad Liu was, she was still the eldest princess's biological mother. She had raised her and loved her for so many years.

It's understandable that the eldest princess couldn't get over the news of Liu's death for a while.

He didn't care about it, and looked at Xin'er and asked, "Yun'er, take a good look. Was it this palace maid who was gossiping in front of you yesterday?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Xin'er's body trembled violently and she buried her head even lower.

Su Quanye was standing next to him, frowning and scolding, "Raise your head quickly so that the princess can recognize you!"

Xin'er was afraid, but did not dare to resist and slowly raised her head.

When the eldest princess came in just now, Xin'er was covered in blood and crawling on the ground, so she couldn't see the other person's appearance at all.

Only at this moment did the eldest princess recognize Xin'er, her eyes full of surprise.

Why is the palace maid here?

The eldest princess promised her that she would not tell anyone what happened yesterday and let her be beaten to death.

But the eldest princess really couldn't lie and had no way of deceiving her father. She bit her lip and looked very embarrassed.

She really didn't know what to do...

Although the eldest princess did not admit it, when the people present saw her expression, what was there that they could not understand?

Nangong Xuanyu looked at Xin'er with a cold look in his eyes: "It's you, a slut!"

"Tell me! What is your purpose in sowing discord between the Grand Princess and Concubine Chen?!"

Xin Er knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty! I didn't! I didn't..."

"I really just want the spirit of Concubine Liu to know that the eldest princess is doing well. I beg Your Majesty to understand!"

Then, Xin'er looked at the eldest princess for help and begged desperately, "Eldest Princess, please save me!"

"I don't want to die! I really don't want to die!"

In the eyes of the little princess, everyone was lying to her about her mother's death, and only this palace maid told her the truth.

Seeing Nangong Xuanyu was about to punish Xin'er, the eldest princess showed some reluctance in her eyes: "Father..."

Nangong Xuanyu interrupted the eldest princess: "Yun'er!"

"I know you are still young, and you were just blinded by others, which led to misunderstandings. So no matter how you treat me and Concubine Chen, I have never held a grudge against you."

"But it is precisely because you are the princess of the Great Zhou and my eldest daughter that I must make you understand right from wrong!"

"I believe you know how I have doted on you since you were born. Yun'er, tell me the truth, am I good to you?"

Looking at Nangong Xuanyu's majestic expression, the eldest princess' eyes were sore, but she couldn't speak against her conscience after all.

She sniffed and choked, "Okay..."

"Yun'er knows that father has always been very good to Yun'er..."

Except for the fact that my father ordered the death of my mother.

She knew that her mother had done many wrong things, but no matter what, she was still her mother...

Her beloved father, the emperor, killed her beloved mother. No one could understand the pain in the eldest princess' heart...

Nangong Xuanyu continued: "Since you know that I treat you well, why don't you trust your father who has loved you for many years, but choose to trust a lowly maid who you only met once?"

He looked at the eldest princess with pain and disappointment in his eyes.

The eldest princess looked confused...

What my father said makes a lot of sense.

Compared to other people, she certainly believed in him more. But her father had lied to her for so long about her mother, and it was this maid who told her...

Looking at the tear marks on the eldest princess’ face, Nangong Xuanyu’s heart softened.

Although five years old was not considered young in the royal family, he already knew how to read people's expressions and how to please his father and mother in order to gain more benefits for himself.

But that's because he has been looked down upon since he was born. If he doesn't learn to read people's expressions, he will not be able to survive.

But Yun'er grew up in a honey pot and had never experienced the evil of human nature.

It was he and Liu who raised Yun'er to be so naive, so how could he blame her for trusting others now?

The child is still young and should be taught slowly. We should not abandon her just because of one mistake.

This is too cruel for a five-year-old child...

Besides, Yun'er is not a vicious person.

Thinking of this, Nangong Xuanyu looked at the eldest princess with a gentle look in his eyes, and said in a slow tone: "Yun'er, you should believe that no matter who in this world wants to harm you, I will never harm you. No matter what happens, the person you should trust most is your father!"

The eldest princess' eyes were filled with tears after hearing these words. She choked up and said, "Father..."

Her father lied to her about her mother for so long. Can she still trust him?

Does the emperor really still dote on her as much as before?

Seeing the eldest princess's uneasiness, Nangong Xuanyu said gently: "The reason why I didn't tell you about Liu's matter was that I didn't want you to be too sad. But I didn't expect that one day someone would take advantage of you through this matter."

"Perhaps I miscalculated this."

"Yun'er, no matter what misunderstandings you have in your heart, I am here today to clear up all the misunderstandings with you!"

"Tell me what this maid said to you yesterday, please, father."

The bond between father and daughter is thicker than blood.

The eldest princess could feel Nangong Xuanyu's love for her.

Her expression gradually relaxed...

Xin'er felt more and more uneasy as she watched this scene.

But now, she can't do anything.

At this moment, Shen Zhinian's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Nangong Xuanyu.

She always knew that the man in front of her was the emperor, so she never thought that Nangong Xuanyu would be devoted to her.

The emperor's sincerity was not what she had always been pursuing.

But we have to admit that since ancient times, many emperors have been extremely cold to their concubines, not to mention their own children. It is common to send princesses to marry foreign princes, and it is not uncommon to kill sons.

Compared with them, Nangong Xuanyu can truly be considered a kind father.

Nangong Xuanyu and the eldest princess looked at each other: "Yun'er, do you really want to trust a stranger instead of your father?"

"Do you really want to chill Father's heart like this?"

The eldest princess shed tears and shook her head, saying, "No! In my heart... I actually love my father very much..."

"But Yun'er doesn't understand why father wants to kill mother?"

“This palace maid said that mother did not murder the heir to the throne. It was Empress Chen and Empress Xuan who conspired against mother. Father killed mother just to please Empress Chen! Wuwu...wuwuwu..."

"Yun'er doesn't understand. Father is so good, and Empress Chen is so good, but why do you treat mother like this? Wuuwuwu..."

Xin'er closed her eyes, fell to the ground, her face full of frustration.
