Generally speaking, as a royal child, you cannot make your own decisions about your marriage.

Now, Qin Xingyi suddenly learned that his father had handed over his life to Xuanyuan Mingyu before his death, and he was surprised and delighted, shaking his body and asking the reason.

Xiaodi stared at the side with wide eyes, suppressed a lot of questions that were churning in his stomach, slapped his face, and couldn't help but ask: "Little star, are you going to get married?" ”

Qin Xingyi's cheeks blushed suddenly, how good it would be if she could marry Xuanyuan Mingyu! But she said duplicitously, "Where? Miss Ben will never marry for the rest of her life! ”

Xiaodi couldn't hold back the topic, and continued to ask curiously: "Little brother, Xiaoxing don't get married, so what should you do?" ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu overcame the sleepiness, heard Xiaodi's question, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "I will marry her." ”

"Hey, who's going to marry you? Why do you marry me? Qin Xingyi was full of joy, a smile flew up her eyebrows, but on the surface, she pretended not to approve and asked the reason.

Xuanyuan Mingyu smiled, put one of Qin Xingyi's warm nephrite hands on his face, and replied succinctly: "That's destined by God!" ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu gasped and slowly explained the truth. It turned out that half a year ago, the Xuanyuan Dynasty received a secret letter from the emperor of the Western Qin State, intending to discuss the marriage of the two countries, and requested to send the third prince Xuanyuan Mingyu to come for an interview.

At that time, Xuanyuan Mingyu quietly came to the Western Qin Kingdom for an interview at the behest of his father. The emperor of the Western Qin State asked Xuanyuan Mingyu to go to the secret room of the other courtyard to discuss, and frankly said that he was going to abolish the crown prince and make Qin Xingyi the crown princess instead, so that he could inherit the throne in the future.

Xuanyuan Mingyu was quite surprised, and hurriedly asked the reason, and learned that Qin Xingyi was the only bloodline of the emperor, and the father and daughter were separated during the war.

Of course, the emperor of the Western Qin State wanted to pass on the good country to his own flesh and blood, and Qin Xingyi was the only heir to Sheji. He was worried that the crown prince would interfere in seizing power, so he secretly discussed with the Xuanyuan Dynasty to marry Qin Xingyi to the third prince Xuanyuan Mingyu, and asked the Xuanyuan Dynasty to send troops to assist Qin Xingyi on the throne if necessary.

Sure enough, the Emperor of the Western Qin State's worries were justified! While he was still in a position to discuss with the three princes, an Assassin broke into the courtyard and killed the emperor.

The Emperor of the Western Qin Kingdom fell in a pool of blood, holding the jade pendant he had taken from the assassin in his hand, unable to swallow his last breath because he was worried about the affairs of the imperial concubine.

At this time, Xuanyuan Mingyu rushed over, saw that there was a bloody case, I don't know who did it, helped the emperor and asked him to rest assured, saying that he would definitely do it according to the emperor's wishes.

Seeing the emperor die with his eyes closed, Xuanyuan Mingyu couldn't make a noise, because he was carrying out a secret mission, so he had to leave the scene gloomily.

That's how it happened. Xuanyuan Mingyu finished the introduction.

After hearing this, Qin Xingyi burst into tears, grateful to his father for thinking about himself when he was dying, and it was his bounden duty to avenge his father, crying: "Mingyu, my father was killed, you also have the responsibility to help me track down the murderer!" ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu promised to chase the murderer, but who was the murderer?

Qin Xingyi thought that the jade pendant had fallen into the hands of the Hu Pavilion Master, and decided to go directly to the Proton Pavilion of the Western Qin Kingdom to find Hu Feng.

About to enter the border of the Western Qin Kingdom, Mu Shuo handed the whip to Blacksmith Xu, jumped out of the carriage, came to say goodbye to Qin Xingyi, refused to stay, and returned to the Rota tribe alone.

Blacksmith Xu turned into a coachman and drove all the way. The four of them slept in the open air, and after a day and night of traveling, at noon the next day, they came to the capital of the Western Qin Kingdom.

The atmosphere at the capital gate was very tense, and the guards were like facing a great enemy, blocking Qin Xingyi's carriage and not letting him enter the city.

"How can this be true? You dare to intercept the carriage of the eldest princess! Qin Xingyi was very angry, revealing her identity as the eldest princess, feeling that the situation was a little abnormal.

The gatekeeper will have instructions from his superiors and will refuse to let him go, and send someone to report it. I waited for a while before I received a reply. The emperor ordered the eldest princess of Pingnan to go back to the palace to rest first, enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and summon her in the imperial study.

Entering the capital, Blacksmith Xu asked, "Let's go back to the Eldest Princess's Mansion?" Or go to the proton pavilion? ”

Qin Xingyi was anxious to investigate the matter of his father, and asked Blacksmith Xu to drive to the Proton Pavilion.

When the carriage came to the outside of the proton hall, several people were taken aback and found that the proton hall of the past no longer existed, and only a pile of ruins and ashes remained.

Blacksmith Xu jumped out of the carriage and stopped a passer-by to inquire about the situation, and the pedestrian replied: "In the middle of the night last year, there was a fire here, I don't know why." ”

Blacksmith Xu thought that there was something strange here, walked to the door of the carriage, and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, it seems that there are no clues left here, and the house has burned down." ”

Qin Xingyi frowned and said to herself, "Who started so quickly?" The action is ahead of us. ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu leaned on the wall panel of the carriage, and saw the ruins of the proton hall through the door, the magnificent scene of the domineering scenery four years ago had disappeared, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and asked: "There is no one in the proton hall?" Is it true that everyone is burned to death in their sleep? ”

"Impossible! There will always be one or two people running out. Let's go, let's go to Prime Minister Hu Cheng's mansion to have a look, maybe Hu Feng went to his father's house. Qin Xingyi speculated.

Prime Minister Hu Cheng's Mansion is not far from the Proton Museum. The four of them rode in a carriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Qin Xingyi instructed Xiaodi to stay in the carriage to take care of Xuanyuan Mingyu, and he and Blacksmith Xu knocked on the door to enter.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not what it used to be, the courtyard is full of rags and messes, and the people are walking around in a disorderly manner, and there are no rules at all.

Prime Minister Hu Cheng was much older, on crutches, wearing plain clothes, standing in the front yard with a dejected expression, ignoring the noise of the people below, looking directly at Qin Xingyi and the two walking in, and asked, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, are you here to see the old man's jokes?" ”

"What joke? The eldest princess just returned to the capital today, and she came to see you before she had time to enter the house! What's going on in your house? Qin Xingyi asked puzzledly, feeling that Hu Cheng was like a judge between the two.

"The prime minister has resigned to the emperor this morning, told the old man to return to his hometown, and will never return to this place of right and wrong." Prime Minister Hu Cheng said with deep feelings.

"Is Prime Minister Hu going to retreat bravely? The owner of the Hu Pavilion also went with him? ”

When Prime Minister Hu heard someone mention his son, it was tantamount to revealing his scars, his nose was sore, his old tears were rampant, and losing his son meant that all hopes were in vain, so he could only sigh: "Xiaofeng, he can't go!" ”

When people are old, they are troublesome, and they are also unable to speak. Qin Xingyi was helpless, so she had to ask: "Prime Minister Hu Cheng, please make it clear that the eldest princess has something important to find the owner of the Hu Pavilion, where is he?" ”

Prime Minister Hu Cheng's nasal voice was very nasal and choked: "Xiaofeng is gone!" There was a fire in the proton hall last night......"

Prime Minister Hu Cheng was sleeping soundly last night, and suddenly the housekeeper ran to report that the smoke was thick on the side of the proton hall, so panicked that he ran barefoot to the yard to look, and sure enough, he saw the flames rushing to the sky, and hurriedly sent the Xiangfu guards to fight the fire, but it was too late! A charred corpse was found in the owner's house.

When Prime Minister Hu Cheng heard the report, he thought bitterly: Who is it? Who did this unconscionable deed! He carefully reviewed the people Hu Feng had offended, and felt that there were not many people who could use this kind of revenge! It is impossible for ordinary people to let Xiao Feng's life be lost.

"Someone deliberately set the fire! Take my son, give back my son's life! Prime Minister Hu Cheng shouted sadly.

"Deliberately set fires? Does Prime Minister Hu have any evidence? Qin Xingyi was shocked to hear the news of Hu Feng's death, wouldn't all the clues for her investigation be broken?

Prime Minister Hu shook his head, his vision was blurred by tears, and he didn't dare to go deeper. recalled that he fought for power all his life and climbed to the position of a high-ranking official of the prime minister, but in the end he was still defeated in the emperor's conspiracy, his arms could not twist his thighs, and the prime minister could not fight the emperor!

Qin Xingyi wondered, could it be that Prime Minister Hu Cheng just let the enemy who killed his son go unpunished? "Don't you want to avenge your son?" Tell me, who killed Hu Feng? ”

Prime Minister Hu raised his head, glanced at Qin Xingyi very seriously, and said gloomily: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, please forgive the old man for speaking out." In this world now, who else can ruin the old man's family? The sorrow of the old man who lost his son is like the pain of the eldest princess who lost her father, although there is only one enemy! Please imagine, Your Highness the Eldest Princess! ”

"Really?" Qin Xingyi suddenly opened two red lips, and thought in surprise: In the Western Qin Kingdom, the only person who has more power than Prime Minister Hu Cheng is the emperor!

Prime Minister Hu Cheng knew what Qin Xingyi had in mind, nodded and replied, "Yes!" The eldest princess guessed right! But neither the old man nor the eldest princess could do anything. ”

Qin Xingyi was shocked to think of the secret that Xuanyuan Mingyu told him yesterday, could it be that half a year ago, his father was preparing to abolish the crown prince and let the imperial brother know, in order to keep his status as the prince, he ordered Hu Feng to assassinate his father, and now he is worried about exposing the truth and killing Hu Feng!

A chain of things is connected and seems to point to one person. In the past, in Qin Xingyi's eyes, the imperial brother was a very smart and reasonable good brother, but at this moment, his image suddenly became ugly!

However, speculation was not convincing after all, and she had to point out solemnly: "Prime Minister Hu, can you make it clear?" You can't guess at something so important. ”

Prime Minister Hu Cheng had already messed up and didn't have the courage to fight against the emperor, so he could only pin his hopes on God and replied: "There are some things that the old man really can't say!" Presumably the emperor knows everything! If the eldest princess has a chance, she might as well ask. ”

"Okay, I'll ask."

"Then please the eldest princess, I hope that Skynet will be restored and not leaked! The old man is old, even if he can't take revenge with his own hands, he will look at the world coldly and get retribution sooner or later. ”

The butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to report that he had finished cleaning up, so please show the Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Hu Cheng ordered to set off and said goodbye: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, I will not accompany you, the old man is going back to his hometown to retire, please take care of the eldest princess." ”

Qin Xingyi couldn't figure out what Prime Minister Hu was afraid of? Could it be that Prime Minister Hu Cheng is alluding to the fact that the emperor is behind the manipulation of everything? responded: "Prime Minister Hu Cheng has gone all the way. ”

Qin Xingyi left Prime Minister Hu Cheng's mansion and returned to the eldest princess's mansion in a carriage. She was so preoccupied that she went into the dormitory and fell asleep until the third day of the moon.
