"Okay, let's talk." Xia Jingchen held back his anger and sat down.
It turned out to be a letter from King Su. Xia Jingchen won the battle between the two rivers. King Su only criticized him and told him to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
However, Xia Jingchen just played around normally and never got anxious on the battlefield. King Yan slapped Xia Jingchen on for no reason and was not happy with him.
In fact, in Prince Xia's Mansion, only Xia Jingsheng was respected by King Su. Xia Jingxuan and Xia Jingchen both disliked King Su very much. Xia Jingxuan was because he had humiliated his mother, Mrs. Yu. Xia Jingchen had nothing to do with King Su, but they just didn't like him. Xia Jingchen
Don't know why either.
What allowed Xia Jingchen to call him uncle - Dongjiang border military power.
Xia Jingchen knew that he and King Lai were both hot-tempered people. If he didn't take this step back, he would probably have to fight with King Su, and the people would be the ones who would suffer then, that's all.
After listening to King Jin's nagging, Xia Jingchen asked the soldiers to retreat and chatted with Zhao Qiechen for a few more words. Xia Jingchen put out the candle and took a rest.
Early the next morning, Xia Jiajun returned to the court.
The mighty procession passed through one city after another, and the people in the city came to welcome them. After walking for a few days to the center of the capital, a few people changed their clothes and entered the palace. After listening to the flattery of various courtiers, their ears almost became calluses.
It took several days to calm down.
After ten days, there were not so many visitors in front of the mansion, so Zhou Ranzhuo took a rest. After finishing his official duties in the evening, he started chatting with Gu Yun.
"Did you hear that Azheng has become emperor? He already has a wife, and he will be a father in a few months."
Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, and the movement of collecting the letters in his hand was also slow.
Of course he knew, he knew the cause and effect, and he thought Zhou Ranzhuo would not mention it.
"My subordinates have heard about it a little bit, and since then, he has been able to live a little more peacefully." Gu Yun smiled helplessly.
"He has suffered a lot in the past two years. He is as thin as a pole. When we achieve our great cause, we will have to compensate him well."
"Yes, Azheng is tired from work, and I don't know when I will see him again. There have been few letters in the past two years, so we must not lose our affection." Gu Yun lowered his eyebrows and sighed.
Gu Zheng was tricked by Zhou Ranzhuo. Gu Yun wouldn't say he was disappointed, but it was always a hurdle.
"Gu Yun, Azheng's matter..."
"There's no need to mention it, cousin. Azheng was at fault first. No one will blame cousin." Gu Yun turned away.
There were no words between the two of them, only the sound of flipping books. The flickering candlelight at night was particularly dazzling at this moment, and the rest was dim.
After a long time, Gu Yuncai asked again: "Cousin, I heard... there is a master named Luobei in Tianzhu Pavilion who is disabled?"
"Well, that's what happened." Zhou Ranzhuo responded.
"The princess asked him to assist in the assassination of Emperor Chu?"
"Yes, I also came with two secret guards, but those two have already disappeared in Xijiang, leaving only Luobei. I just arrived in the capital yesterday, and Yan'er just settled him down.
"Oh..." Gu Yun sighed.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ranzhuo asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just curious." Gu Yun smiled and turned back to pour the tea. Zhou Ranzhuo didn't pay much attention and let him go.
Who knows what Gu Yun will do?
Gu Yun was thinking that Gu Zheng's replacement for Emperor Chu must not be discovered. Xia Jingyan asked Zhou Ranzhuo to hide it, Zhao Qichen asked himself to hide it, Dugu Shuning was controlled by Gu Zheng again, and the other two secretly
Wei is dead again.
So now the only threat is Luobei.
Luobei was only called over by Xia Jingyan, and was easily ignored. If he calmed down and thought through Zhou Ranzhuo's plan and told Xia Jingyan... he was Xia Jingyan's confidant, Xia Jingyan would always check again.
After returning to the bedroom, Gu Yun took out a packet of white powder from the secret compartment.
If the broken arm is not enough, Luobei will have no choice but to die.
In the early morning of the next day, Xia Jingyan couldn't imagine what it would be like to say goodbye.
Zhou Ranzhuo had just met Xia Jingsheng and went to the backyard to talk to Xia Jingyan. Unexpectedly, a short while later, a boy came up in a panic and told him that Zhao Qichen had a letter for Xia Jingyan. When he opened it, he saw: Luo
Bei was critically ill and saw the princess for the last time.
Before Zhou Ranzhuo could react, Xia Jingyan had already rushed out and ran to the inn without leaving any time to breathe. The moment she opened the door, she saw a scene that she had never dared to imagine:
Luo Bei's face was as pale as paper, and it looked scary. His hands were covered with black patches like corpse spots. Luo Bei was trembling, his mouth was wide open, he didn't know what to say, and he looked very excited.
Look.
"Bei'er!" Xia Jingyan rushed to the couch, while Zhao Qichen and the doctor quickly stepped aside.
"Sister...sister..." Luo Bei spoke vaguely, vaguely sounding like he was calling Xia Jingyan.
"Sister...sister is here. What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you're fine? How could it be like this..." Xia Jingyan cried so hard that he was out of breath.
At this time, Zhou Ranzhuo and Gu Yun also entered the door, and Zhou Ranzhuo also had a look of astonishment on his face.
"Doctor...you say." Zhao Qichen's eyes were also red, and he tried to hold back his tears.
"Lord Zhou, the common people's medical skills are not good, and it is really impossible to cure the poison of the emperor's blade..." The doctor bowed and saluted.
"What kind of blade poison?! Imperial Physician Xu never mentioned it!" Xia Jingyan's eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Back to the princess, the blade poison is the poison smeared on Emperor Chu's sword. Those who are exposed to the poison for the first time will not be detected, but after about half a month, the poison will show up after it enters the heart and lungs, just like Mr. Luo is now..."
"Then...then there's nothing else we can do?!"
"The poison has invaded the heart. Mr. Luo's heart and lungs are ulcerated. There is no cure..."
Xia Jingyan's heart suddenly went cold, and he turned back to look at Luo Bei. He seemed to want to say something, so Xia Jingyan hurried over.
"Bei'er, tell me, sister is listening..."
"No... no, sister... I... Gu..." Luo Bei's lips were trembling. He stared in Gu Yun's direction, but Xia Jingyan still didn't understand what he meant.
Of course Luo Bei knew who the real culprit who killed him was, Gu Yun! Even the doctor belonged to him! He was talking nonsense! But no matter how anxious Luo Bei was, he could never say a complete sentence, as if he was mute.
Gu Yun's face was full of calm, even though he knew that Luo Bei had been staring at him, because he knew that Luo Bei could not speak.
"Sister Gu...I...die..." Luo Bei gradually lost his strength, and finally rolled his eyes and died under Gu Yun's triumphant smile.
Xia Jingyan felt that Luobei had stopped moving, and the last bit of warmth immediately dissipated. She froze at first.
Zhao Qichen's heart sank suddenly, but he seemed to have lost his voice. He couldn't call out the "Bei'er" stuck in his throat.
"Bei... Bei'er?" Xia Jingyan shook Luo Bei, but there was no response, "Bei'er?"
There was a deathly silence in the inn.
Bits and pieces of the past flashed through my mind. Luobei was a child who was picked up by Xia Jingyan and brought back to Tianzhu Pavilion. He had always been with Xia Jingyan, or he was relying on Zhao Qichen. He was extremely talented, and Xia Jingyan originally thought of him.
I will definitely become a great master in the future.
But Luobei is dead...
He was only twelve years old and dead...
"Bei'er!" Xia Jingyan couldn't hold back any longer and cried loudly. He hugged Luo Bei's body as if his heart was broken. He wished he could kill himself with a sword immediately. Life was worse than death.
Zhao Qichen wanted to persuade her. He had already watched a younger brother disappear, and he must not let anything happen to Xia Jingyan again.
"Brother Qie Chen... Brother Qie Chen, please save Bei'er... Bei'er won't die! No way..." Xia Jingyan grabbed Zhao Qichen's arm, hating himself so much, why did he let Luo Bei follow him?
Adventure on the Xijiang River.
"Yan'er...don't...don't be like this, don't be like this..." Zhao Qichen was also weak, and looking at Xia Jingyan's look, his heart ached as if someone had pinched him.
What are you afraid of?
Xia Jingyan suddenly felt a rush of cold blood rushing to his head, his vision went dark, his body went limp, and he fell into Zhao Qiechen's arms.
Everyone was anxious and called the doctor. Only Zhao Qichen hugged Xia Jingyan and cried helplessly. But he couldn't do anything. He really couldn't do anything but cry. For the first time, Zhao Qichen felt so
