Chapter 197: He shed his blood for her
After listening to Chu Yi's words, Xiao came back to his senses for a long time.
"The world always speculates about sisterhood with the most malicious eyes, and it is their prejudice that makes Wei Hanyan bear the infamy for half his life." He whispered.
Wei Hanyan saved sixteen-year-old Wei Rudai, using his sixteen years of life, and even the rest of his life as the price.
But she didn't expect that her sister just jumped out of one abyss and fell into another.
Wei Rudai, who escaped from the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, passed away at a young age.
Chu Yi's eyes dimmed a little, and he said, "If Wei Hanyan still thinks that I am her sister after a while, then I will take her with me and return to Yan Kingdom."
Since she called her sister, this time, she was going to tell her that her sister did not leave alone, but took her with her.
She no longer has to marry Qingrong for her sister.
"Okay, let's take her back with us," Xiao Yan flashed a glimmer of light in his eyes, and said softly, "This Jin royal family is not interesting."
"How's Qingrong?" Chu Yi heard the strangeness in his tone and immediately asked.
Xiao Yan said, "It's dead."
"What?!"
In the morning, Jiang Mufan also said that Qingrong had just woken up, and Wei Yuanshan was going to interrogate him personally, and Xiao Yan went to the prison where he was being held in advance.
Chu Yi's eyes widened in surprise: "But what did Qingrong say?"
Xiao Yan's eyes flashed on Jiang Mufan behind him.
Chu Yi coughed and said lightly, "April, you go down first, and the Crane Control Division will guard the Pingning Marquis Mansion and protect Wei Hanyan."
"Yes!" April left in response, and Jiang Mufan also went out together.
"Now you can say it, why did Qingrong die?"
Xiao Yan recalled the scene in the prison, and his phoenix eyes became deeper and deeper.
Chu Yi could see that he was angry.
"Qingrong couldn't stand the punishment at all, so he whipped him a few times casually, and he said everything. He told me that three months ago, he found out that Wei Hanyan wanted to take the opportunity of the tea ceremony to remind Wei Yuanshan, so he locked her in the dark room behind his study."
Sure enough, Chu Yi nodded and didn't bother Xiao Yan.
"Only he and his apprentice Tong Chuan knew about this, and that dark room became the place where they tortured Wei Hanyan.
The most important thing is that the high priests of all dynasties can marry princesses with imperial blood, but because Wei Rudai broke with the royal family, Qingrong can only marry Wei Hanyan, but he is dissatisfied that Wei Hanyan is just an ordinary person. He wanted to bring out her imperial blood physique by torturing her."
Xiao Yan said, his eyes were surging with blood, and he inevitably thought of himself.
Moreover, Chu Yi had already told him about Wei Hanyan just now, and he now knew that his aunt had fallen here in order to save his mother
Greed is the source of everything.
"That secret room is in Qingrong's study, and he listens to his business every day while handling his business......
"The worse she screams, the happier I am! What about the princess, she is not the plaything of this sacrifice!"
Xiao Yan's ears sounded Qingrong's crazy laughter before he died, his fingers clenched into fists, and he suddenly regretted that his dozen or so swords poked at him, it was too cheap for him.
Wei Hanyan's experience is like herself when she was young, she was locked up for three months and has gone crazy.
If the person who married Qingrong was Wei Rudai, then the person who is crazy now is her.
When Chu Yi heard Xiao Yan's words, he only imagined that picture for a moment, and he felt desperate.
Xiao Yan continued: "Ten days ago, Qingrong locked Tong Chuan and Wei Hanyan in the dark room, but he planned to escape with the new emperor, he instructed his family to protect the priest's mansion, and no one was allowed to enter his study, but he didn't expect that Tong Chuan was killed by Wei Hanyan in the dark room."
Chu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "No one knows about the dark room, Wei Hanyan can only be locked up inside until we rescue her, if we are a few days late, Hanyan will definitely be hungry."
Die inside."
Xiao Yan sighed slightly and nodded, "Yes."
"What about him...... Why did you die?"
Chu Yi asked, could it be that Xiao Yan felt that Qingrong had lost his conscience and couldn't help but kill him? Then why did he not want Jiang Mufan to hear their conversation.
Xiao Yan said, "Because of the soul bell. Kill him, and no one in this world will know the use of the soul bell except you and me."
Chu Yi took out the soul bell, this bell has been in her pocket, and she has never heard the sound of the bell in her ears again, other than that, it looks like an ordinary bell except that the material cannot be distinguished.
"Remember what Wei Yuanshan said, the legend of the imperial blood," Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, with a little helplessness in his eyes, "The blood of the imperial family can live forever, Xiao Ji has believed it, so he has been using me for experiments, but he doesn't know that the imperial blood has to be used with the soul bell."
"You mean......" Chu Yi thought of what Wei Hanyan had told her just now, she saw Qingrong and the old Jin Emperor with her own eyes, dripping the blood of the county lord onto the bell.
"Even if it's just a legend, even if no one has ever really succeeded, there are still people who are willing to verify it one after another, because, for an emperor, the temptation of immortality, even if the probability is only one in ten thousand, they will try it."
Xiao Yan said slowly, his eyes full of disgust.
"Qingrong told me that for a hundred years, the high priest has passed down a secret related to the imperial blood from generation to generation, which is a secret other than the inviolability of a hundred poisons and the cure for a hundred poisons."
Two blurry images flashed through his mind.
One picture is Wei Yuanshan, who is wearing a golden dragon robe, handing over the soul bell to himself, his golden eyes are full of sadness.
Another picture is of himself in his previous life, sending a long sword into his body.
Someone exclaimed in his ear, much like Uncle Chu's voice.
Xiao Yan still couldn't remember how he died in his previous life, but he seemed to have guessed.
He hooked the corners of his lips, looked at Chu Yi gently, and said word by word:
"The secret is that by dripping the blood of the heart of a person with the blood of the emperor on the soul bell, it can reverse the situation, bring the dead back to life, and the living live forever."
The bell rings, and the soul returns.
This is what Qingrong told himself.
He also said that every generation of Jin emperors hoped that the imperial blood could not only detoxify, but also make themselves immortal, but every generation of emperors had never succeeded.
Because there is only one princess of imperial blood, they do not hesitate to try with the blood of other royal women, such as the county lord and the county lord.
No woman in the Jin royal family ever lived to be thirty-five years old, because the emperor just wanted to wait to see if they could still give birth to a baby girl or child, and then he would test the soul bell with their lives.
Even a princess who bears the blood of the emperor will be in poor health and sick because of the frequent blood draws of the royal family, and she is no longer able to do it when she is twenty or thirty years old.
Before they die, they will be drained of the last drop of blood by the royal family.
Chu Yi was stunned, and his mind was blank.
The blood of the emperor's blood, dripping onto the soul bell, can bring the dead back to life?
Is that resurrection a rebirth like oneself?
But Xiao Yan is the one who bears the blood of the emperor!
She lowered her eyes and looked at her palm.
The white hands seemed to be stained with blood—Xiao Yan's blood.
Everything she has now, she can come back from the dead because Xiao Yan in her previous life shed all her blood for herself!
"When you die, this king will immediately go to find a serious princess."
"Chu Yi, don't cry, you cry so ugly."
"Don't think that this king doesn't know what you're doing secretly, this king doesn't care what you do, at least, don't die before this king's big thing is done, otherwise this king will have to lose the reputation of a wife, and it will be difficult to find a serious princess in the future."
"Chu Yi, come and drink the medicine."
"Chu Yi, don't die, this king won't allow you to die!"
All kinds of past lives appeared in front of her eyes.
She'll never forget,
The last time he looked at the world in his previous life was his tearful face.
Chu Yi blinked, and a string of tears rolled down.
Xiao Yan raised his hand, wiped her cheeks with calloused fingertips, leaned in front of her, and kissed her moist eyes reverently.
"Don't cry, Ah Yi, why are you crying?"
Chu Yi shook his head.
He didn't know.
He didn't know what he had done for himself in his previous life.
And he was unconsciously loved so deeply by a person.
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes, with a smile in his eyes, and did not speak.
He knows.
He was willing.
Xiao Yan almost couldn't hold back, telling her that he had remembered the events of his previous life, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered the scene when Chu Yi quarreled with him before, and he was aggressive and-for-tat.
In her heart, in her previous life, she was an unreasonable and unreasonable demon king.
It's better for him not to say it.
Pingninghou forcibly held everything back.
After Chu Yi calmed down, Xiao Yan said, "Although the old Jin Emperor has lost Wei Rudai and the imperial blood fault, he has already stored a lot of blood in the deepest part of the ice cellar, but after more than ten years, that blood has gradually become ineffective, but even so, ......
Chu Yi took his words and said, "Even so, at least the emperor will never be poisoned to death, and he spares his life, so he lives a long time, by the way, every generation of emperors of the Jin Kingdom seems to have lived for a long time, and this is indispensable to the credit of the emperor's blood."
Xiao Yan nodded.
"But the difference this time is that the old Jin Emperor never made a prince until his death."
Chu Yi followed his train of thought and immediately reacted. No wonder he didn't want Jiang Zhiying to hear their conversation.
"So except for Qingrong and Tong Chuan, even my uncle doesn't know about these things. Maybe the new emperor knows, but the new emperor has already killed himself, as long as the two of them die, no one will ever test the soul bell and the blood in the heart again!"
Xiao Yan nodded, word by word: "He's dead. This is the reason why I interrogated him one step ahead of Wei Yuanshan, and from then on, there was no more high priest in the Jin Kingdom."
When he heard Qingrong's last words, he didn't hesitate to kill him.
Qingrong didn't even know who he was, and thought that Wei Yuanshan would let him go, because the position of the high priest was set by Emperor Taizu.
But what did Emperor Taizu of the Jin Kingdom have to do with Xiao Yan?
He wouldn't let Wei Yuanshan know all this.
The secrets guarded by generations of Jin emperors and high priests, as well as the royal princesses and county lords they killed, will all end in this life.
"By the way, Qingrong still wanted to threaten me with the soul bell, but he didn't expect that the soul bell had been obtained by Wei Hanyan, and it should have been found on him after she killed Tong Chuan."
Chu Yi remembered Wei Hanyan's advice, and now, she knew why she let herself destroy the soul bell.
The soul bell is gone, and the high priest and the royal family will at least no longer endanger Wei Rudai's life.
She held the bell in her palm, closed her eyes, and the cold touch spread to her limbs, but she was thinking that it had been stained with Xiao Yan's blood, it was not cold, it was hot.
"It's over."
"Well, it's over." Xiao Yan replied.
Xiao Yan didn't destroy the soul bell in the end, because he found that with the soul bell by Chu Yi's side, Chu Yi slept more peacefully.
And he suddenly thought of one thing, if he tried it when he was about to die of old age, would he be able to be reborn again?
But that's all for later, he wasn't sure what he had done in his previous life, if he just dripped his heart and blood on the soul bell, he could be reborn so easily, why did the Jin royal family never succeed.
A few days later, Wei Yuanshan ascended the throne as emperor.
In order to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy of the former brothers seizing the throne, he followed Chu Tingxiao's example, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he made his eldest son Wei Jiaping the crown prince.
The high priest Qingrong bewitched the first emperor, corrupted the law, colluded with Shanyue, and mutilated the princess, and the next generation of high priests has died.
Wei Yuanshan knew what Qingrong had done from Xiao Yan's mouth, and he hated the word "high priest" very much, and despite the opposition of the ministers, he directly issued an order to change the law of Taizu and abolish the position of high priest.
Since then, there are no more high priests and princesses of the royal family in the Jin Kingdom, so they can naturally marry freely.
Wei Hanyan is still afraid of men, her mind is like a twelve-year-old girl, and she regards Wei Yuanshan as the old Jin Emperor.
At Chu Yi's request, Wei Yuanshan agreed to let Wei Hanyan return to Yan with her.
Perhaps, following Chu Yi is like following his sister, and the torture that Wei Hanyan experienced will one day be smoothed out by time.
Wei Yuanshan knew that Xiao Yan was burdened with imperial blood, but he also knew that his two younger sisters had been harmed by imperial blood for a lifetime.
Maybe it's because he just ascended the throne, or maybe it's because he doesn't know what Qingrong said before he died, at least now, he doesn't have any greed for the emperor's blood, he is still a good emperor and a good uncle.
As for the future, Wei Yuanshan made an oath that even if a new princess with imperial blood appeared in the imperial family, he would never be as inhumane as the first emperor of the Jin Kingdom and treat the princess as "medicine".
Next.
The morning sun rises, falling thousands of golden rays, enveloping the majestic palace and the magnificent city wall, but also covering the darkness and dirt in the city, even the black bricks and stones on the city wall, are like brilliant gold bricks.
The snow melts and everything rejuvenates.
"I promised His Majesty Emperor Yan three things, and now the first two things have been realized, these eight thousand Shanyue war horses, one is a lot."
Wei Yuanshan, who was wearing a golden dragon robe and a golden dragon jade crown, stood on top of the city tower, looking down at the three thousand Great Yan Feather Forest Army lined up neatly outside the city, and said with a smile.
Each Yulin army rode in pairs, and at the same time, they were led by countless war horses in their rear.
Wei Yuanshan once promised Chu Tingxiao three things in order to get the support of Yan Guo.
