The cannon fodder in the book is laughing, and the scum is slapped in the face

Chapter 226 Happy Life Ruined

Compared to those ministers, the eldest princess was the one who could least accept this fact.

Everyone else had left the palace, but she wanted to go find His Majesty to ask for clarification.

"Royal brother, what do you mean?" The eldest princess was filled with grievances, all of which turned into resentment. She did not care about the rules she had learned in her daily life and questioned directly.

"From childhood to adulthood, the Queen Mother has taught me this way."

"Even when I got married, my husband was chosen by you, my royal brother."

"You also said that you wanted me to marry directly into the Marquis's Mansion, so that I could give respect to the ministers and my husband's family."

"Now you're saying that I'm self-deprecating. Brother, what do you want me to do?"

The eldest princess was now at a loss. The completely contradictory statements made her have no idea what to do.

The emperor stared at her with a cold face: "You are such a grown-up, don't you know what to do?"

"When you went to the battlefield, did you still have to ask others what to do about everything?"

The eldest princess felt very depressed when asked this question. This feeling of being unable to express her pain and not being able to tell it was really suffocating.

"I really didn't expect that you, a princess, can't even handle the affairs at home." The emperor stared at the eldest princess with a face full of condemnation.

"Look at the people, what have they learned from you?"

"How many women have been tortured by their husbands? Do you know how much impact it would have on offspring if many of them committed suicide?"

"If the country's population doesn't increase, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"When there are several times more men than women in a country, will something terrible happen?"

The emperor's repeated questioning confused the princess: "How... how could this be related?"

The princess felt something was wrong again: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Because now you are a role model for women! If you belittle yourself and don't regard yourself as a human being, women will be less willing to give birth to daughters. Even if they give birth to daughters, they will find ways to kill them, so as to prevent their daughters from becoming like them when they grow up." The emperor became more and more excited as he spoke.

He was a little resistant at first, but after hearing Qiao Jinlan talk about the consequences of the princess's actions, he was so scared that cold sweats broke out on his back.

It can be said that he was forced to scold the princess at first, but after hearing the consequences, he wanted to beat the princess to death immediately.

His country almost got into trouble.

If he doesn't have enough women, how can he reproduce?

It is very likely that other countries will take advantage of the situation and by then, the people of the country will be gone. Will the royal family still be able to exist?

"Become like them?" The eldest princess murmured, then looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, are you saying that it is wrong for me to respect my parents-in-law and my husband in this way?"

"If this is not right, why did the Queen Mother teach me like that? Why did my royal brother tell me like that?" The eldest princess asked with a confused mind.

What she had insisted on for many years turned out to be wrong, which means that her life was a complete joke.

This is so ironic.

"There's nothing wrong with what I taught you, but you have to find a limit yourself." The emperor said coldly, "As a princess, you can't even grasp this... You really bring shame to the royal family!"

"For so many years, I have been giving you opportunities, hoping that you can wake up on your own. I didn't expect that until today, you still haven't seen through it, forcing me to intervene directly."

The eldest princess looked at the emperor and suddenly felt that her brother was so strange.

Is this the royal brother she has always respected?

The eldest princess was scolded by the emperor and left.

She came out of the imperial study, feeling dazed. After walking for a while, she suddenly thought of something and hurried to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Of course, when she got there, the eldest princess didn't get the answer she wanted.

The eldest princess became more and more doubtful about her life.

Qiao Jinlan hid in the dark and saw everything that happened clearly.

At this moment, she saw the eldest princess's distraught look and couldn't help but sneer, "I don't know what she is thinking?"

"She's a student, but she can still be brainwashed like this."

"I'm convinced too."

If she were a girl who never goes out of the house, she could understand why she became the princess.

The problem is, the eldest princess studied and practiced martial arts, she even fought on the battlefield and made military achievements, but she was still brainwashed like this... What was she thinking?

"It's a personality issue." Lu Yunxu said casually, "She should be a person who doesn't have many opinions."

"She longed for her parents' love since she was young, and her mother was worried that she would lose control in the future, so she kept brainwashing her, and that's how she became."

"Of course, this is just my guess." Lu Yunxu was just speaking casually, and he couldn't explain exactly why the eldest princess was like this.

Qiao Jinlan snorted coldly: "Whatever happens to her is her business, just don't harm other women."

Such people are used as a benchmark to demand women in this country... What have the women of this country done to offend anyone?

"The emperor is quite sensible. Let's go." Qiao Jinlan took Lu Yunxu's hand and left.

When it came to his life, the emperor readily chose to abandon the eldest princess.

Qiao Jinlan and Lu Yunxu did not leave the country immediately, but studied the box in the inn. As expected, they still had to collect all the other items before they could open it together.

If opened alone, the box would self-destruct and the contents would be gone.

Qiao Jinlan, Lu Yunxu and others rested for a night and checked out.

They did not stroll around the city. Time was tight, Qiao Jinlan was anxious, and Lu Yunxu certainly didn't mind hurrying.

However, as soon as they left the city and arrived at Shili Pavilion, they saw the eldest princess standing there.

Qiao Jinlan knew without asking that it was the eldest princess who was waiting for them.

"We are in a hurry, so please say whatever you want to say quickly." Qiao Jinlan said in a deep voice.

The princess had only guessed at first, but now she was certain: "You are the ones who found my brother."

"Yes." Qiao Jinlan admitted it generously.

"Why?" The princess gritted her teeth and asked angrily, "If it weren't for you, my life would have been like this forever, always so happy."

"Why do you want to disrupt my peaceful life?"

Qiao Jinlan was almost nauseated: "If you feel happy, that's your problem. But it's a problem if you become a role model for women in your country."

"Other women don't want your so-called happiness!"

"If you stay at home and live your life by yourself, it's fine. But if you cheat on other women, that's a big problem!"

The princess felt wronged: "What did I do wrong? I did everything they said. Why did you hurt me like this?"
