Qin Yu and Zimo searched for a long time in the dense forest, but they still didn't find any trace of Wanru. But they noticed that there was smoke coming out of a part of the forest.

They hurriedly walked in the direction of the thick smoke, Qin Yu had a bad premonition, and he hoped that this premonition would not come true.

By the time they arrived, it was a burned ruin, and there was no sign of it.

At this time, they heard footsteps.

The sound of footsteps was slowly coming towards them, Zimo turned around, and he could feel the sword qi that emitted cold light not far away.

Zimo alertly pulled out the sword in his hand, and in the dark, he could feel the opponent's sword qi at this moment, proving that the opponent's strength was very strong.

Next, the two swords finally fought, lightning and flint, so fast that people couldn't see the tricks they had made between them.

But one thing that can be confirmed is that behind the man, there is a person lying down.

After a few moves, Zimo finally saw this person's face clearly. Under the cold face, his eyes covered with a layer of frost added a bit of coldness in the darkness.

"Senior brother!" Zimo withdrew his sword.

Hey? Yue'er was stunned at this time, the person in front of her turned out to be Zimo's senior brother, but she had never heard Zimo talk about her senior brother.

Yue'er looked at the person leaning against the tree in front of her again, and it was clearly Wanru.

"Wanru sister!" Yue'er cried out loudly.

At this time, Zimo looked ahead, and it was indeed Wanru.

Zi Ye also withdrew his long sword and said very plainly: "I happened to pass by here, so I saved her." ”

Qin Yu and Yue'er had already walked over, but Wan had already fainted at this moment.

"Thank you, senior brother, for saving Sister Ling." Zimo never expected that the person who saved Wanru would be a senior brother.

"Those people in the woods just now must have wanted to kill you." Zi Ye's tone of voice has always been very indifferent, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him at all.

"Thank you Gongzi for coming to the rescue, I don't know what to call it?" Qin Yu walked over.

Zi Ye glanced at Qin Yu and didn't answer his question right away. Zimo knew that his senior brother's personality had always been indifferent, and he explained the situation to his senior brother.

Qin Yu asked Ziye, but he said that he didn't see anyone else. When he first appeared in the jungle, he only saw this girl.

Since this man appeared, he has been apathetic. Even to his own junior brother, he speaks very coldly, without any trace of ordinary people's feelings.

A moment later, he left......

Yue'er felt that Zimo's senior brother was really cold, the kind of coldness that came out of his eyes, his eyes were covered with a thin layer of ice, and he was so indifferent even when he spoke.

Although he has a handsome face, this person doesn't smile at all, Yue'er thinks that this kind of person is-a thousand-year-old rigid face.

Qin Yu took Wanru back, and now she can't find Lingxi and the fourth son, so she can only wait for Wanru to wake up, and only when she wakes up can she tell them, what happened to her in the dense forest tonight?

The night is long......

I've never experienced such a long night.

Zimo continued to go out to find their whereabouts, Yue'er was lying in the hall at this time, guarding Wanru, she was also tired.

"Yue'er, if you're tired, go back to rest early, right?" Qin Yu asked with concern.

"But I need it here, and I can't walk away." Yue'er said.

"Wanru is not injured, you go back to rest first, maybe you will need your help tomorrow." In fact, Qin Yu was more worried about them than anyone else at the moment.

"Okay!" Yue'er was really sleepy, she felt that what His Highness said made sense, so she went back to sleep.

Wanru has been asleep, and she has never woken up for an hour.

……

Kill him......

Blood, the whole room was full of blood.

Bright red blood, a strong smell of blood. It filled her whole brain and made her feel helpless.

I want to save him, I really want to save him.

The fourth prince is the prince's younger brother, and he can't watch him die of humiliation like this.

His eyes were gouged out, his limbs severed, and his internal organs were gouged out.

She wanted to scream, but she couldn't.

……

Qin Yu approached the side of the bed and looked at her, she seemed to be sleeping unsteadily. The brow furrowed slightly, and then His Highness finally heard her.

"Don't ...... Don't kill him......"

Tears ran down her cheeks.

"Don't ......"

"Don't ......"

Qin Yu grabbed Wanru's hand and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Worried, Your Highness is worried about her, what must she have experienced in the dense forest?

After that, Wanru screamed, and suddenly the whole person sat up.

Qin Yu was frightened by this sudden situation, Wanru sitting, but he kept crying, crying bitterly.

Next, Wanru's whole body trembled.

Seeing this, Qin Yu put his hand on her shoulder and asked, "How are you?" ”

Wanru kept crying and didn't speak.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Qin Yu asked in a low voice, but still couldn't get an answer.

Wanru covered her ears with her hands and cried even harder.

Qin Yu hugged her and said to himself: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have left you there alone." ”

Trembling, she's shaking all the time......

"Is it cold...... Are you cold? Qin Yu asked her, but she was still crying.

I don't know how long it took, His Royal Highness kept holding her, and Wanru seemed to be tired of crying. She moved her mouth slightly.

"Your Highness......" Wanru was finally willing to speak.

"Hmm!" Qin Yu responded to her.

"Fourth Son...... Fourth son, he ...... He's dead! Wanru said intermittently, but Qin Yu heard it.

His Highness's heart sank, and it hurt! Heartache like never before!

He let go of Wanru and sat up. The hall was quiet, except for the faint sound of breathing.

Wanru bit her lip, her eyes filled with endless fear.

"I saw with my own eyes that the fourth son was tortured, but I couldn't do anything about it." Wanru cried even more sadly.

"Tell me, who killed him?" Qin Yu spoke in a deep tone at this time.

The candle flame in the hall was blown by the night wind and shook a few times. In the faint candlelight, Wanru's beautiful face had already become lost and lonely.

"Changping-kun!" Wanru gritted her teeth word by word.

She also hated this murderous and inhumane person at the moment.

When Qin Yu heard this answer, he was actually not surprised at all! Who else could anyone else who dared to assassinate the prince of the royal family?

Wanru's eyes suddenly exuded incomparable courage, "I can testify, I can come forward to testify that Changpingjun is the murderer of the fourth prince." ”

Qin Yu sighed deeply: "It's useless, Changping Jun's power in the court is deep-rooted, and he is in collusion with General Yan, who has a heavy army, and his party, just your words are not enough to convict him!" ”

"Could it be that the fourth prince died unjustly?" Wanru looked at His Highness, looking at His Highness who has always been very confident, why is he helpless at this time?

"Don't worry, the fourth prince won't die in vain like this, one day I will let him repay it double!" Qin Yu was very firm when he said this.

"It's useless to blame me, I couldn't save him at the time, and I watched him torture and die." Wanru blamed herself, she felt that if she was strong enough, then the fourth prince would not die.

Wanru rested her head on His Highness's shoulder, tears already soaking his clothes.

"You did the right thing, if you were also exposed at that time, not only would you not be able to save the fourth prince, but even you would have become a ghost under his sword."

"Yes...... He is your own brother, let me watch him die, I will not be at ease in my life. Wanru began to cry again.

Heartache, Qin Yu listened to these words, his heart became even heavier, like a thousand pounds of heavy stones pressing on his heart, and he couldn't breathe.

After a while, Wanru slowly said, "Your Highness, is power, and the throne really important to you?" Significant enough to transcend life? ”

Qin Yu fell into deep thought......

There was no answer to Wanru's words.

Wanru smiled bitterly: "The ancestors of the past dynasties, no matter how great their achievements were during their lifetimes, and they strategized, in the end, they were just a few loose inks on the paper of their descendants!" ”

"I am not greedy for power, but I am the crown prince of the Northern Dynasty, and what I shoulder is the world of the entire Northern Dynasty, not my personal life and death. I must not watch the Northern Dynasty fall into the hands of someone like Changpingjun, and I was determined to establish a new Northern Dynasty. This is my responsibility and mission as a crown prince, and from the day I was born, I was destined to face all this! ”

Wanru stopped crying, and when she heard these words, she realized how stupid she had just said.

Maybe my brother is right, the fate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is beyond his control. If the crown prince really becomes the king smoothly in the future, then he is also the king of the Northern Dynasty, not Qin Yu.
