Chapter 109: Change
Zhu Yan didn't return with the news until the evening.
As soon as he stepped into the house, Hu Yanzhen walked up and asked, "Congratulations...... Childe, what did you hear? ”
Zhu Yan replied: "The princess of Beisu, the second prince has passed away the day before yesterday because he drank the poisonous wine you sent. ”
"How could it be ......?"
Hu Yanzhen covered his face and retreated, and Jian Xiaozhu stepped forward and pulled Zhu Yan's sleeve and said, "Hey, you can't say that, this matter has nothing to do with the princess." ”
But Zhu Yan said: "The news that Beisu is now released to the outside world is like this, I just said it according to the facts." ”
Jian Xiaozhu glanced at him, and then said suspiciously: "But the princess didn't put the bag of poison into the wine jug." How was Huyantuo poisoned? ”
Zhu Yan said: "Perhaps, there are internal ghosts around him." Whether the princess is drugged or not, he will inevitably die. ”
Thinking of Hu Yanji, who broke into the imperial city with a large team of men and horses that night, Jian Xiaozhu asked, "So, now is the eldest prince successfully ascending the throne?" ”
Zhu Yan shook his head: "According to the information I have received, Hu Yanji is plotting to usurp the throne. After letting the princess poison the second prince that night, he took the opportunity to sneak into the palace. But his rebellious actions were stopped in time by the Seventh Prince, Hu Yanjue. It's just that after Hu Yanju was surrounded that night, he refused to be captured, but wanted to attack the Khan, and was found by Hu Yanjue and killed on the spot......"
"What ......"
Hearing the words "kill on the spot", Hu Yanzhen's eyes showed a look of horror and sadness. She exclaimed, "You say...... Brother ...... Killed on the spot? ”
Seeing Zhu Yan nodding, Hu Yanzhen suddenly collapsed to the ground with tears like rain.
"How could it be, how could it be like this......"
Hu Yanzhen hid his face and cried, and then raised his head: "No, such a big thing happened in the palace, I have to go back." ”
But Zhu Yan said: "Princess of Beisu, perhaps, you can't go back." ”
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Jian Xiaozhu looked at Zhu Yan with a confused expression, and Zhu Yan said: "Yunzhu, the news from the Beisu Palace is that the princess killed herself after the conspiracy was discovered, and now she has died. ”
"I'm not dead, I'm not dead!" Hu Yanzhen stood up, clenched his fists, and said to Zhu Yan and Jian Xiaozhu: "I'm still alive, so I have to go back and tell everyone that I'm not dead." ”
Jian Xiaozhu persuaded: "Princess, although I understand how you feel now. However, if you go back now, you will definitely die. ”
From the news that Zhu Yan inquired, Jian Xiaozhu also understood that perhaps the mastermind of this incident was not Hu Yanji. But no matter who it is, judging from his purpose, Hu Yanzhen will inevitably die in this chess game.
So Jian Xiaozhu explained: "Princess, maybe as you said, the mastermind of this incident is not the eldest prince. It's just that since there's news from the palace that you've killed yourself. Then the person who sent out the news naturally didn't want you to live. ”
Hu Yanzhen muttered: "However, now that the eldest brother and the second emperor brother are dead, then who is doing all this behind their backs?" ”
Jian Xiaozhu said: "It should be the person who profited the most from this incident." ”
After that, Jian Xiaozhu asked Zhu Yan: "So many changes happened overnight the day before yesterday, so what is the situation in Beisu now?" ”
Zhu Yan replied: "It is rumored that Huyan Khan was very sad after seeing the corpse of the second prince, and then fell to the ground. It's just that when he was terminally ill, he remembered that the seventh prince Hu Yanjue had a meritorious role in subduing the rebels, so he decided to directly pass on the position of Khan to Hu Yanjue. ”
"Unexpectedly...... Gave him ......"
Jian Xiaozhu remembered that when he first went to the palace in Beisu, Hu Yanjue told him. Because his mother was a slave from the Central Plains, he was bullied in the palace since he was a child.
I didn't expect Hu Yanjue to hide such a deep city. Perhaps it was everything he had experienced since he was a child that made him hate the royal family of Beisu in his heart, and he hid such thoughts in his heart. It wasn't until he grew up that he single-handedly hatched such a conspiracy and seized the throne.
"Hu Yanjue, he is really a person not to be underestimated."
While Jian Xiaozhu sighed, Hu Yanzhen trembled again.
"Seven Emperor Brothers...... Brother Seven Emperors...... How could it be ......"
Hu Yanzhen gradually squatted down, holding his head in both hands, and began to pull his hair and scream: "It's not me, it's obviously not me!" ”
"Princess!" Seeing that Hu Yanzhen had become hoarse, Jian Xiaozhu secretly said that it was not good. After all, after being stimulated so much, no matter who it is, it is difficult to get through it.
Jian Xiaozhu walked over, wanting to help Hu Yanzhen up first, and then slowly calm her emotions. It's just that Hu Yanzhen pushed her away, and then continued to scream: "I didn't do anything...... I didn't do anything......"
Hu Yanzhen stretched out his hands, looked at his palms blankly, and said incoherently, "I don't know anything...... Don't know anything...... Why did things suddenly turn out like this...... Why...... No, I want to go back, I want to go back! ”
After Hu Yanzhen finished speaking, he rushed towards the door. It's just that when she passed by Zhu Yan, she saw Zhu Yan use the hilt of her sword to strike at her back strength very quickly. Before Hu Yanzhen fell to the ground, he was quickly caught by Jian Xiaozhu. She looked at Zhu Yan angrily: "Zhu Yan, what are you doing?" ”
Zhu Yan said: "I just think she should calm down. ”
Jian Xiaozhu was embarrassed: "But...... You don't have to knock her out......"
Helped Hu Yanzhen back to the room and watched her fall asleep, before Jian Xiaozhu walked outside.
It was getting dark. Under the moonlight, Zhu Yan stood sideways by the pond in front of the house, his side face so handsome that it seemed unreal. Jian Xiaozhu remembered the kiss with Zhu Yan that night, and couldn't help blushing a little.
Zhu Yan heard Jian Xiaozhu's footsteps and turned his head to look at her: "How is the princess of Beisu?" ”
Jian Xiaozhu shook his head: "It's not good." In other words, whoever encounters such a thing will go crazy. ”
"And what will she do next?"
Jian Xiaozhu replied, "I decided to take the princess back to Zhang's mansion. Follow me back to Dongyuan, and the princess should be safer. ”
But Zhu Yan said: "Perhaps, the current successor to the throne of the Northern Khan, that is, Huyan Jue, he doesn't want to kill the princess." ”
Jian Xiaozhu nodded: "Yes." After all, if you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die. Without seeing the princess's body, he released the news that the princess had killed herself, and it was clear that he hoped that the people who fled with the princess would take the princess farther away from now on, and never go back to the north. In this way, he is not particularly bad. ”
Hearing Jian Xiaozhu's words, Zhu Yan walked in front of Jian Xiaozhu in a few steps and asked, "Isn't it bad?" Why, you know him well? ”
Looking at Zhu Yan's gradually deepening eyes, Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly said, "I don't understand, I don't understand." I don't know him well. ”
"Really?" Zhu Yan looked at Jian Xiaozhu in disbelief: "But I clearly remember that the princess of Beisu said that she still wants you to be with her Seventh Emperor Brother?" ”
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yan still remembered Hu Yanzhen's words, Jian Xiaozhu was embarrassed: "That's just the meaning of the princess, it has nothing to do with me." To be honest, I've always felt that Hu Yanjue is quite insidious, and I usually don't have time to hide from him......"
It's just that before the words were finished, Jian Xiaozhu's mouth was suddenly blocked by Zhu Yan's sudden kiss. When this kiss ended, Jian Xiaozhu only felt that Zhu Yan's eyes looking at him were unusually gentle.
"Yunzhu, I came too slowly, and you suffered a lot of grievances in Beisu. But in the future, I will definitely not let you leave my side again. ”
