Yu Ruoxu only felt a "boom", the blood all over his body gushed to his head, a trace of cold sweat oozed from his back, and he ran out with his legs.

"Ruoxu!" Tuoba Mu'er followed her, running a little out of breath, "They ...... him"

Yu Ruoxu stopped suddenly, his eyes looked straight at the flagpole with the banner of the Xianbei King, the deer flag was still fluttering in the wind, but there was a bloody head underneath, and many Xianbei people gathered under the flagpole to point, showing frightened looks.

Yu Ruoxu suddenly lost all her strength, sat on the ground, and didn't say a word.

Before she could say a word to Pei Changyuan, he was in a different place like this?

"Ruoxu ......" Tuoba Mu'er didn't know what to say, but listened to Yu Ruoxu's jaw tightened, gritted his teeth and said, "How did he die?" “

"Actually, when he was brought in, he was about to die." Tuoba Mu'er said softly, "Later, the second brother said that he couldn't keep it, and even if he died, he had to be beheaded to show the public, so he ......"

Yu Ruoxu chuckled, "He has a ghost in his heart." ”

"When he died, he brought the queen with him." Tuoba Mu'er sighed, "The words were cut off before they could be said clearly, the queen was forced by the second brother to be unable to speak, if it wasn't for the third brother, I'm afraid the consequences would be even stricter." ”

Yu Ruoxu paused, "What about now?" ”

"The third brother shifted the topic to the second brother to find a shaman in private, and Father Khan seemed to be very angry and was confronting the second brother and the shaman." Tuoba Mu'er said, "I have never seen my father's sweat so angry, it really scares me to death." ”

"For the Khan, the most important thing is the throne, even if it is his own son, he cannot let down his guard." Yu Ruoxu said lightly, "Princess, you go back to the king's tent first to see the situation, and I'll wait for a while...... Remember, don't talk about my relationship with that person. “

"I know, don't worry." Tuoba Mu'er nodded and ran towards the king's tent.

Yu Ruoxu slowly walked to the flagpole, squeezed into the crowd, and looked up at Pei Changyuan. I saw that his face was covered with blood, his eyes were closed, and his brows were furrowed until he died.

If it weren't for her, maybe in a few years, he would be able to realize his dream and become a general like Yang Zhen, guarding the frontier for the imperial court, and going down in history.

But now, his head hung alone on the flagpole, still dripping with blood, and it was all gone.

Yu Ruoxu stood like this until late at night.

There was a burst of warmth on her shoulders, and Yu Ruoxu turned back stiffly, only to see Tuoba Yu standing behind her, draped in a thick coat for her.

"You ......" Yu Ruoxu kept one posture for too long, so tired that she couldn't even speak.

"It's me who is useless." There was an indescribable tiredness in Tuoba Yu's voice, "I promised you to keep him safe...... But in the end, there was not even a single corpse left. “

Yu Ruoxu looked at him in a daze, her voice a little hoarse, "How is it over there?" ”

"The shaman admitted that he was forced by his second brother to put a silver needle in his neck, control his mind, and teach him to say those words that framed his mother." Tuoba Yu said slowly, "The queen mother is fine now, the second brother can be regarded as losing his wife and breaking his army, not only did he not succeed in framing him, but also made his father sweat cold." ”

"It's wonderful." Yu Ruoxu smiled faintly, "It's a pity that I couldn't witness it myself." ”

"Ruoxu......" Tuoba Yu had never seen her look so desolate, and he was a little uneasy, "You ......"

"His Royal Highness King Ning." Yu Ruoxu suddenly spoke, "I want to help him collect a corpse, I don't know if it's convenient?" “

Tuoba Yu looked around and thought for a moment, "Wait until tomorrow night, so you won't be suspicious." “

Yu Ruoxu looked up at him, Tuoba Yu has always been cautious, even at the most critical moment, if he is not very sure, he will not rush to attack.

When Pei Changyuan was whipped before, he didn't have conclusive evidence in his hands, so he just stood there and watched him being beaten without saying a word. It wasn't until the inquirer came back that he stood up and spoke.

But Pei Changchang couldn't hold it anymore.

"Okay." Yu Ruoxu smiled bitterly, "I'll collect his body tomorrow night." “

With that, he staggered back to his tent.

Who can she blame? She has no right to blame Tuoba Yu at all, she can only blame herself.

This qiē is all her fault. Pei Changchang was so in order to save her that he was so calamitized. But she couldn't stand up to save him at that time, or rather, there was no way to stand up and save him.

The next day, she had a bad time, and heard that Tuoba Gui had rewarded Princess Jiangcheng with a lot of things, which was regarded as compensation. Princess Jiangcheng accepted all the gifts as if nothing had happened. Like Tuoba Yuan, Tuoba Hong was fined and confined, but Tuoba Kei didn't seem to be angry, and he was punished with another twenty lashes.

Yu Ruoxu helped Princess Jiangcheng pack up the gifts sent by Tuoba Gui in Princess Jiangcheng's tent, all kinds of rare toys and nourishing medicinal materials, and there were several boxes full of them. Plus some fine beast skins, and a small half of the tent was piled up.

"Queen......" Yu Ruoxu was a little hesitant, not knowing how to speak.

"The kings want me to support him as the next Khan." Princess Jiangcheng said lightly, "I didn't say anything, maybe my patience was worn out, and I was afraid that I would promote King Ning in front of the Khan, so I simply didn't do anything and got rid of me, which can be regarded as one less big trouble." “

Yu Ruoxu didn't expect Princess Jiangcheng to tell her this qiē directly, "So that's the case." ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that his eyeliner was buried so deep and he could dig out all the things that happened so many years ago." Princess Jiangcheng's gaze was a little sharp, "It's me who underestimated him." ”

"Khan...... I still have a mustard in my heart. Yu Ruoxu thought for a while, "What does the queen plan to do in the future?" ”

Princess Jiangcheng touched the pendant in her ear and smiled, "It doesn't matter...... He can do whatever he wants with my life, as long as he doesn't carry a stigma. ”

"Queen!" Yu Ruoxu's heart tightened, "Don't you want to think about the little prince?" “

Princess Jiangcheng was stunned and sighed, "It's already benevolent and righteous for me to give birth to him...... As for the future, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so let him go. “

Yu Ruoxu was surprised, "But ......"

"He's my mission, you know?" Princess Jiangcheng suddenly interrupted her, "When I was pregnant with him, I thought countless times that when he was born, I would be free. “

After that, she smiled again, "Of course you don't understand...... You haven't had a child with a stranger, how can you understand? ”

Yu Ruoxu was speechless.

No wonder she has never seen Princess Jiangcheng hugging Tuoba Yue, she hardly comes to see the child, it is Aunt Dugu who hugs Tuoba Yue, Princess Jiangcheng kisses his forehead at most, even when Tuoba Yue cries in the middle of the night, she only lets Zhu'er come over to take a look, and she will never come by herself.

However, what is Tuoba Yue's innocence?

Yu Ruoxu silently returned to her tent and sat on the bed in a daze, and it didn't take long for the sky to get dark.

She didn't feel sleepy, and when Haoyue was hanging in the air, she put on a thick cloak and went out to collect Pei Changyuan's body.

When she walked near the flagpole, she was stunned.

Tuoba Yu also stood under the flagpole, and the hazy moonlight shone on his face, adding a bit of coldness to him.

"King Ning is here too?"
