"What is the lady thinking?" Qin Ziyu walked up to Lin Zhiruo, stretched out his hand to hold her into his arms and asked softly.

"I just think that when Ake's matter is resolved, you and he may no longer be good brothers, and I feel that I am guilty of a great crime." Lin Zhiruo said with some emotion.

"You are wrong, the royal family has never been a brotherhood, all family affection, or friendship, is never pure, and will eventually lose all kinds of desires of people...... But in my opinion, even if you are not a royal person, you will more or less face such a problem, there is no sin, everything is just providence, you don't put pressure on yourself. ”

"Well, I wouldn't think that anymore." Lin Zhiruo responded to him gently, but she still felt guilty in her heart, and after he left Qin Ziyu, she hoped that his disappearance would be able to untie the gap between the two brothers.

In the lively atmosphere of the whole city preparing for the New Year, the time passed quickly, on the 28th of the lunar month, the ambassador Yelu came to Dayue from Xiliang, and met Emperor Min Wen on the 29th, and presented a large number of various treasures and specialties of Xiliang, as a dowry for Xiliang to marry Qin Ye.

As the host, Emperor Min Wen gladly accepted the dowry of Xiliang, and gave Xiliang a lot of items produced by Dayue as a return, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for Qin Yeke to marry Xiliang on an auspicious day, when the prince of Xiliang will come to Dayue to marry Qin Yeke.

After Emperor Min Wen explained everything, Ambassador Yelu handed over the letter of King Xiliang according to the previous agreement, which was read by a special translator in the court, mentioning that he wanted to conform to the tradition of Xiliang and let Qin Yi move out of the palace and live alone for forty-nine days before getting married, Emperor Min Wen agreed without hesitation.

"Since it is a tradition in your country, my princess will marry to Xiliang, so he should follow the customs of the country, but the ambassador only mentioned this matter today, it will take some time to temporarily build the princess's mansion, and I am afraid that the wedding date will be postponed."

Seeing this, Qin Ziyu hurriedly played: "Father, the newly built mansion in the east of the city has not been inhabited, and it can be used as the princess mansion of the sixth sister, and there is no need to build another one." ”

"The prince already has a mansion available, and no one has lived in it, so the six princesses can move to it, which is feasible in Xiliang customs, in order not to miss the marriage period, the two countries will form a blood relationship as soon as possible, and the minister implores the emperor to consider King Hui's suggestion."

"Since there is the current mansion, let the six princesses move in after the year." Emperor Min Wen nodded and agreed to the matter, and then instructed Qin Zimo: "This matter will be handed over to King Duan to assist King Hui to handle it, and no mistakes must be made." ”

"The son of the minister, please rest assured."

On the thirtieth night of the lunar month, Emperor Minwen gave a banquet to the ministers in the palace, so as to wash the dust for the Xiliang envoys.

After the palace banquet, it was the royal family banquet, and the people of the Qin family gathered in the Changhe Palace.

In the middle of the banquet, someone from the palace suddenly came to report that Helan Xuan was seriously injured in the Rose Garden.

Qin Zimo and Qin Ziyu were shocked when they heard this, Qin Ziyu, who was the secretary of Dali Temple, immediately rushed to the scene, and Qin Zimo was responsible for escorting Qin Ye back to Huanhuaxuan.

"Lord Wang, the assassin has escaped!"

Qin Ziyu rushed to the Rose Garden, where the imperial physician was treating Helan Xuan's wounds, and the guards searched for the assassin's traces, and finally gave him the result that an assassin had escaped.

"A bunch of rubbish, this king asked you to look at him carefully, how do you all do things!"

"The subordinates are incompetent, and they are willing to be punished by the prince......"

"The matter has come to this, what is the use of this king punishing you, go back to the house and invite the princess!"

When Lin Zhiruo rushed to the palace, although the imperial doctor had stopped the bleeding from the wound for He Lanxuan, He Lanxuan was already unconscious, not only that, but he was also poisoned by arsenic, the amount of poison was not large, but it was enough to kill him who had been sick and weak for a long time, and now he was hanging with his last breath, and this breath may be broken when it will break.

Qin Ziyu saw that Lin Zhiruo's expression was so solemn, knowing that He Lanxuan might have to die this time, but he still asked her expectantly, "Is there any salvation?" ”

Lin Zhiruo shook her head, "Not out of tonight." "In less than tonight, He Lanxuan will die, and the only person she is familiar with in this world will disappear.

Not long after, Emperor Min Wen and Yelu Bai heard the news, and looked at He Lanxuan, who was unconscious on the bed, Emperor Min Wen was furious, "Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate the second prince of Xiliang in the palace, immediately block the palace gate, and be sure to search for the assassin!" ”

"Erchen has sent someone to search for the Assassin, and the Assassin must not escape."

Yelubai's face was full of worry, "The second prince is my king's favorite prince, if he dies, it will be difficult for the minister to explain in front of my king, and please ask the emperor of Dayue to let someone save his life, the minister is grateful!" ”

"Ambassador Yelu, I have ordered all the hospitals to be dispatched, but the current situation of the second prince is really ......"

Imperial Physician Shu added on the side: "The assassin not only injured the second prince, but also poisoned him, and the second prince ...... I've tried my best, but I still can't get back. ”

While speaking, the palace maid who was guarding the bed suddenly knelt down in a panic, "Son, he ...... Dead. ”

Yelubai hurriedly walked to the bed, and when he looked at Helan Xuan, he found that he was lifeless, "The second prince is really dead, ...... dead."

Everyone present knew what He Lanxuan's death meant. Emperor Min Wen was stunned, and immediately became furious, "Come here, spread my will, and execute all the people who serve the second prince in this Rose Garden, so as to set an example!" ”

Lin Zhiruo, who had been lowering her head behind Imperial Doctor Shu in the corner, couldn't help but stiffen her body, there were hundreds of lives in this Rose Garden, and she paid for the assassin's life like this?

She looked at Yelubai, and hurriedly ran to him while Emperor Minwen turned around, Yelubai was startled when she saw her, and was about to identify her, but she spoke first, "If you want to cure the disease, save these people first." ”

The reason why Lin Zhiruo said this to Yelubai was because she knew that the reason why Emperor Min Wen ordered the people of the Rose Garden to be killed was just to show Yelubai a play, and asked him to bring a message to the king of Xiliang after he returned to Xiliang, so that the resentment on Xiliang's side could be slightly offset, so as not to cause war between the two countries again. And what kind of attitude Xiliang will have towards Helan Xuan's death depends on Yelubai's rhetoric after he goes back, and the lives of these people in Rose Garden can also be saved by Yelubai with a word, but Yelubai doesn't want to make a move.

Yelubai listened to Lin Zhiruo's words, did not hesitate at all, turned around and followed, and stopped Emperor Minwen in the courtyard, "The emperor stays, the minister has something to ask for, the second prince died of assassin poisoning, these palace maids and eunuchs are innocent people, please let the emperor spare their lives, the second prince was born good, now although he is dead, he will not want to involve the innocent, beg the emperor to let go of these innocent people, and avoid the second prince from resentment after death, the minister knows that the emperor attaches importance to the diplomatic relations between the two countries and is so angry, this heart will definitely explain to my king......"
