But he stayed in the palace and could only watch her and Zhou Buyan falling in love with each other.
Chu Xingchen understood everything and reacted to it.
How could Xiao Wang...how painful was he?
She never knew.
He desperately tried to save her, but in the end, before he died, he still wanted to avoid making her feel guilty and make her promise to be happy in the future and not to bear any self-blame.
He made it this far.
But in the end, all he wanted was to be buried as Xiao Jun, and all he wanted was a next life.
The next life... there is no such thing as a next life.
Talking about the next life is just a lie.
"Xiao Wang, get up. You promised me to live well. Please don't leave like this."
Zhou Buyan said several words to Chu Xingchen, but Chu Xingchen didn't respond.
Seeing that her eyes were red and she was trembling, and she was holding on to Xiao Wang tightly, Zhou Buyan closed his eyes, and finally raised his hand to knock Chu Xingchen unconscious.
If he didn't take action, he was afraid that Chu Xingchen would also fall.
Great sadness can destroy a person's body.
Chu Xingchen couldn't stand such stimulation.
Zhou Buyan caught Chu Xingchen, gently wiped the tears on her face, and hugged her.
"Give your majesty acupuncture to protect her heart."
Seeing Sun Yueqing leaning against the threshold with a pale face, Zhou Buyan asked someone to send Sun Yueqing back again.
After putting Chu Xingchen down, Zhou Buyan asked coldly about the situation.
When he heard that Xiao Wang was seriously injured to protect Chu Xingchen and Xiao Bingcube, and if it weren't for him, the person who died might have been Chu Xingchen, he took a deep breath.
He could see where Xiao Wang was injured at a glance.
From behind directly to the heart, there is no room to turn back.
Zhou Buyan had never owed anyone anything, but this time he owed Xiao Wang his life.
But Xiao Wang died, and he couldn't even repay it even if he wanted to.
Zhou Buyan went back, personally pulled out the arrow from Xiao Wang's back, and ordered in a hoarse voice: "Sew up the wound."
Xiao Wang has always been calm throughout his life, so don't let him feel uncomfortable after his death.
Zhou Buyan was watching Xiao Wang's silence when Xia Zhi rushed over: "Your Majesty is awake, but he doesn't speak or move."
Zhou Buyan hurried over.
Xiao Bingcubi was next to Chu Xingchen and asked Chu Xingchen what was wrong. She didn't know that Xiao Wang was gone, but she could feel that the atmosphere was different.
Xiao Bingcubi was originally uneasy because of Xiao Wang, but when he saw Chu Xingchen acting like this again, he felt worried. When he saw Zhou Buyan, he immediately asked for help.
"Daddy."
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
Zhou Buyan touched Xiao Bingcube's head and gave her to Xia Zhi.
After carrying Xiao Bingcube out, Zhou Buyan looked at Chu Xingchen.
Chu Xingchen was lying on the bed, his eyes open but motionless.
He had already listened to Xia Zhi's story and touched Chu Xingchen's hand: "Xiao Wang held you before he died and made you promise to live well. He will be sad to see you like this."
When Chu Xingchen woke up again, his mind went blank.
She wished everything was just a nightmare, but it wasn't.
All kinds of things about Xiao Wang flashed through her mind, and she still couldn't believe that he was dead.
She even dared not face this fact, so she remained motionless like that.
They didn't dare to mention the summer solstice. Only Zhou didn't say anything and told the truth.
Chu Xingchen's eyes finally moved, and before he could speak, tears rolled down his face.
"But how could I do it? He died. He died to save me."
Zhou Buyan hugged Chu Xingchen and let her cry. He was afraid that Chu Xingchen wouldn't be able to tell that she was holding it in, and that would be bad.
After Chu Xingchen cried for a moment, Zhou Buyan spoke.
"Xiao Wang is dead. We can't let go of the person who harmed him. We must find him and cut him into pieces!"
Zhou Buyan's voice was filled with ice-cold murderous intent.
A murderous look flashed in Chu Xingchen's eyes: "Of course I can't let it go."
"Xiao Wang mentioned the Qi spies before, and this matter is closely related to Qi Ming."
It is indeed inseparable. Everything is inextricably linked to Qi Ming.
The same goes for autumn.
Chu Xingchen took the initiative to meet Qi Ming for the first time.
Before entering, she drew Zhou Buyan's long sword.
When Qi Ming saw Chu Xingchen returning safely, his eyes showed disappointment.
He knew he failed.
It seems that it is not surprising that he failed. After all, it is not that easy to kill Chu Xingchen. If it were easy, he would have been killed long ago and he would not have perished.
It's just a pity.
When he saw the blood on Chu Xingchen's body, her red eyes, and the long sword in her hand, he knew that he was dead.
He was about to die. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but the next second, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.
Looking at Chu Xingchen, is it the Crown Princess who died? She died on the day the Crown Princess was canonized?
If the princess died, he would be worth nothing.
He couldn't speak, so he couldn't wait to write and asked.
"Is your daughter dead?"
Anyway, he couldn't survive, so he didn't care. He just thought that if he could die one by one, it wouldn't hurt to bring good news.
Chu Xingchen's eyes flashed with evil: "You sent someone to assassinate us."
"Yes." Qi Ming admitted very simply, writing quickly, regardless of how ugly the handwriting was: "I used all my strength to create this assassination. The purpose is to get rid of you mother and daughter."
I originally thought that I would kill the two of them without anyone noticing, and when Chu was in chaos, I might be able to restore the country.
The life of being a puppet of a subjugated country, especially a deposed emperor like him, is really painful.
Once you have been an emperor, how can you endure such a life? Of course you have to take action.
I didn't expect to be caught so quickly and failed.
But it would be better to kill an imperial concubine.
I just regretted that he couldn't go to the scene. He originally wanted to go there and witness it with his own eyes, but Chu Xingchen was wary and didn't agree.
Seeing the anger on Chu Xingchen's face, he smiled and wrote: "It seems your daughter is dead..."
Before he could finish writing, his hand was cut off by Chu Xingchen.
Qi Ming's tongue was gone and he couldn't speak. He could only make unpleasant sounds. His screams were even more terrifying.
Now that he was like this, he thought he wasn't afraid of death anymore, but when the pain actually came, he was still afraid.
Especially when his hand was cut off and the pain made him writhe in pain.
Looking at his chopped off hand, he was afraid.
Holding back the pain, he kowtowed to Chu Xingchen, silently begging for mercy and not to kill him.
He regretted that he should not have launched this assassination after knowing that Qi State still had this group of spies sent.
But Qi Ming's answer was still the knife.
Chu Xingchen's eyes turned red, and he slashed wildly, venting all his anger and hatred on Qi Ming.
"I killed you long ago, why should I keep you alive!"
"I should have never had any trouble again!"
You shouldn't think that Qi Ming is harmless and just listen to the ministers.
If she had not been merciful, Xiao Wang would not have died.
When Chu Xingchen stopped, there was no intact part of Qi Ming's body, but he still had a breath left.
Chu Xingchen raised his sword and pierced Qi Ming's back from behind, straight from the back to his heart.
How did Xiao Wang die? She paid him double the amount.
