After Wen Boyuan's figure disappeared at the gate of the hall, the atmosphere in the hall eased slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a physician walked in, holding a medicine box in his hand, the wrinkles on his face engraved with the vicissitudes of time, but his eyes were full of the wisdom and compassion of the healer.

"Princess Qiyu, Wanyan Zongyi has woken up, and the wound has been properly treated." The Imperial Doctor's voice was steady and powerful, as if every word carried a soothing power.

When Zhao Yingluo heard this, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her face showed a little relief.

She hurriedly walked up to the Imperial Doctor and asked in a whisper, "How is his injury?" Is it a big deal? ”

The imperial physician shook his head lightly and replied, "Don't worry, princess, although Wanyan Zongyi's injuries are serious, they have not hurt the vital point. All you need to do is recuperate for a while, and you will be able to recover as before. ”

After Zhao Yingluo listened, the big stone in her heart finally landed. She breathed a sigh of relief and said to the Imperial Doctor, "Thank you, make sure that his injuries can heal as soon as possible." ”

The Imperial Physician bowed down, and then withdrew from the side hall. Zhao Yingluo tidied up a little, and hurried to the side hall where Wanyan Zongyi was located with a few palace maids and guards.

As soon as she stepped into the side hall, Zhao Yingluo saw Wanyan Zongyi lying on the bed, her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes were extremely bright. She walked over to the bed and sat down, and asked softly, "How are you feeling?" But it still hurts badly? ”

Wanyan Zongyi shook his head slightly, and pulled out a weak smile: "Thank you princess for your concern, I'm much better." His voice was hoarse and deep, but every word betrayed tenacity and determination.

Zhao Yingluo sighed lightly and said, "I suspect that this assassination incident was committed by Han Fang, the envoy of the Jin State. He has now escaped from Kaifeng City, and we are pursuing him with all our might. ”

When Wanyan Zongyi heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He shook Zhao Yingluo's hand hard, and said excitedly: "What the princess said is very true!" I had no intention of fighting for the throne, but Yan Zonghan wanted to put me to death. If this revenge is not avenged, I will not be a human being after Yan Zongyi! ”

His emotions stirred at the wound, causing him to gasp in pain.

Seeing this, Zhao Yingluo hurriedly reassured: "Don't be excited, now that the injury has not healed, you still need to recuperate." ”

She paused, and then said, "Since you have a desire for revenge, I will help you." It's just that you need to tell me your plans so I can help you better. ”

Wanyan Zongyi took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

He said in a deep voice, "I still have some loyal forces in Shangjing City, and they have been waiting for my summons. I plan to sneak back to Jin and go to Beijing and raise troops to resist Yan Zonghan's tyranny. It's just that my injuries are not healed now, and I can't move, and I still need the help of the princess. ”

Zhao Yingluo's heart moved after hearing this, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to change the situation in the Jin Kingdom, and it will also be an opportunity to consolidate the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom.

After pondering for a moment, she said, "Your plan is feasible, but it will not be easy to sneak back to Shangjing. I will send Wen Boyuan and others to escort you back and ensure your safety. ”

A hint of gratitude flashed in Wanyan Zongyi's eyes, "Thank you princess for your help!" If I am determined in the future, I will not forget the princess's grace today! ”

Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly and said, "You can recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, and we will think about it in the long term after the injuries heal." ”

She got up and left the side hall, and she had already made a decision in her heart.

In the following days, Zhao Yingluo was dealing with the affairs of the court and China, and at the same time paying close attention to Wanyan Zongyi's injury.

She would often visit him in the side hall to discuss her future plans.

And Wen Boyuan and the others were not idle, they searched everywhere for Han Fang's whereabouts, but they never found anything.

However, just when Zhao Yingluo was worried about this matter, an unexpected news came: Han Fang was found his body in a deserted suburb outside the city!

After hearing the news, Zhao Yingluo immediately rushed to the scene with Wen Boyuan and others.

I saw Han Fang's body lying in the wild grass, his clothes were ragged, his face was bruised, and he was obviously poisoned to death.

"What's going on?" Zhao Yingluo frowned, looked at the corpse in front of her, and her heart was full of doubts, "Who killed him?" And for what? ”

Wen Boyuan and the others also looked at each other, they searched Han Fang's body, but they did not find any valuable clues.

"Princess, there must be something strange about this matter." Wen Boyuan said in a deep voice, "Although Han Fang is an envoy of the Jin State, he was poisoned in our country, and this matter will inevitably cause suspicion and dissatisfaction of the Jin State. We must find out the truth as soon as possible and give an explanation to the country. ”

Zhao Yingluo nodded in agreement, she knew the seriousness of this matter.

She turned to Wen Boyuan and said, "You immediately send someone to investigate this matter, and you must find out who killed Han Fang and the cause of his death." ”

Wen Boyuan took the order and left, while Zhao Yingluo stood in place and looked at Han Fang's corpse and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Wanyan Zongyi's injuries had basically healed, and he also began to prepare for sneaking back to the Jin Kingdom.

Zhao Yingluo carefully selected a group of loyal and reliable guards and think tanks for him to ensure that he could return to Beijing safely and smoothly.

Outside Kaifeng City, Wanyan Zongyi glanced at the Kaifeng city wall of Gao, and said with some emotion, "Princess, I don't know when we will see each other." Wanyan Zongyi sighed lightly and expressed the emotion in his heart.

Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for your good news here." I only hope that you can realize your heart's wish as soon as possible.

The night is like ink, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the silver light is sprinkled, adding a bit of hazy beauty to this quiet Kaifeng City.

Zhao Yingluo stood on the high platform of the palace, watching Wanyan Zongyi and Wen Boyuan and his party drift away until they disappeared into the vast night.

The breeze blew through her sideburns and stirred the thoughts in her heart. She knew that from this moment on, Wanyan Zongyi's fate would be full of unknowns and variables, and all she could do was trust and wait.

Zhao Yingluo sighed lightly, turned around and walked off the high platform. Her steps are firm and powerful, as if every step carries the future and hope of the Great Song Dynasty.

When she returned to the hall, she immediately summoned Lu Yihao, the left minister, with a serious and solemn expression on her face.

"Prime Minister Zuo, this palace has something to explain, immediately send a messenger to the Jin State and hand over a letter to the Emperor of the Jin State, Wanyan Zonghan."

When Lu Yihao heard this, his expression turned grim, and he bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order." I wonder what the princess's letter is about? ”

A cold light flashed in Zhao Yingluo's eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "After questioning Yan Zonghan, why did you send Han Fang to assassinate in my country?" Why did he poison Han Fang in order to extinguish his mouth? This matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it is important for him to give a reasonable explanation. ”

Lu Yihao's heart was shocked, he knew the seriousness of this matter. If not handled properly, it could lead to a war between the two countries. He immediately received the order and said: "The minister must handle this matter well and live up to the princess's trust." ”
