After escorting Jin Dian's body back to the Commander's Mansion, He Ran and Yun Ye went straight to the inner house.
Entering the main room, they saw Princess Qingyun sitting in front of the table, her hands and feet bound with silk ribbons, Jin Yu and two guards kneeling in front of her, weeping uncontrollably, and several maids whose faces were so frightened that their colors changed. Stand against the wall.
He Ran took two steps, knelt down and choked with sobs: "Sister-in-law, forgive me, this was all my brother's idea, to do it with Jin Yu and the others."
Princess Qingyun had a sad face, but when she saw his hoarse voice and her eyes turned red, she couldn't help but shed tears. She also choked and said: "Get up, you all can go out." Jin Yu and the other three wiped away their tears and stood up and left. Several maids Went there too.
When he met his sister-in-law, He Ran was so sad that he touched his head to the ground and cried bitterly: "I can, but... I can't..." [
"It's hard for you. If a person really wants to die, who can stop him? Third brother, help your second brother up." Princess Qingyun suppressed her sorrow.
After He Ran was helped up, he and Yun Ye stood there with their hands down and wept silently.
Princess Qingyun said: "Why don't you untie me? How long are you going to tie me up?"
"Sister-in-law, forgive me, I'm out of my mind." He Ran said and stepped forward to untie the rope. My sister-in-law is not as skilled in martial arts as my elder brother. With Yun Ye present, there is nothing to worry about.
Princess Qingyun moved her hands and feet and asked with a sad face: "Can the body be taken back home?"
Yun Ye answered "Yes"
Princess Qingyun pointed to the seat and said to the two of them, "Sit down."
After the two of them sat down, Princess Qingyun lamented and said: "He has long been determined to die. He just said goodbye to me when he went out. Now that I know that such a day will come sooner or later, I don't feel so sad now. The tears that need to be shed have been shed before.”
Imagining the tortured days of the brother and sister-in-law, He Ran's heart was as sharp as a knife. He couldn't help but touch his head to the ground and burst into tears: "It's all my fault...it's all my brother's fault. If I hadn't appeared out of thin air as an unfilial brother, brother, My sister-in-law doesn’t have to suffer, it’s me who hurt my eldest brother, it’s me who hurt my eldest brother!” His head was already bleeding in the cell, and now his forehead was bleeding again.
Princess Qingyun stood up in tears and came to support him. She choked with sobs and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! We have never complained about you. There are only two brothers in the world who can do what you do. You have to do it again." This will make me sad, and it will also make your elder brother’s soul restless.”
He Ran didn't dare to cry anymore and sat there obediently sobbing uncontrollably.
Princess Qingyun returned to her seat, took a wine bottle from the table and poured some wine into the bottle. After drinking it, she looked at He Ran and said, "Do you know why your eldest brother insists on committing suicide?"
He Ran nodded. Seeing that he had difficulty speaking, Yun Ye repeated what Jin Dian said before he died.
Princess Qingyun showed a smile and said to He Ran: "There is another layer that he did not mention, which is to allow all people in the world to enjoy the blessings of the New Deal as soon as possible. In fact, your eldest brother is the most compassionate towards the people. My father is absolutely He didn't want to see him defecting to Yi State. Zhao Min's edict to transfer him to Jingqu had arrived a long time ago. He knew in his heart that as soon as he returned, he would be assigned to fight you again. If he didn't die, you would be able to defeat Zhao. The strength of Zhao State has been exhausted. Instead of letting the people of Zhao State suffer for a long time in the flames of war from all sides, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible. Do you understand your brother's painstaking efforts?"
He Ran nodded. It was too difficult for him to speak at the moment, so he just opened his mouth and said nothing.
"There is no need to send the coffin back to Jingqu, just send it directly to the fief for burial."
She spoke very calmly, but it was this kind of expression that revealed her inner dissatisfaction with Lord Tianhe. Logically speaking, in this case, Jin Dian's coffin should be sent to her parents first. Can she be buried after the memorial ceremony? The ancestral land still requires consensus within the clan. Although it is only a formality, it is indispensable. Fulfilling filial piety is an important reason why Jin Dian finally chose to commit suicide. Princess Qingyun will inevitably have a grudge against Tianhe Gong.
"I will obey my sister-in-law's orders." Yun Ye replied.
Princess Qingyun looked at the two of them, a smile gradually appeared on her lips, and said: "Your eldest brother and I have always been proud of you two brothers. Needless to say, the bravery of the third brother, the news of killing a handsome man in an army of ten thousand horses. It turns out that your eldest brother was so happy that he got drunk." He turned to He Ran and said, "Although my second brother has made us worry a lot, every time I mention you, we still end up laughing. Your eldest brother often says You have had a lot of fun together, and my sister-in-law also agrees with it. Your all kinds of nonsense are really unimaginable in people's dreams. We all lament how God has created such a strange person like you, how can you laugh and fool around. It stirred up the turmoil in the world and caused the princes from all over the world to change their opinions. Your eldest brother even said a few days ago that it would be the greatest blessing in this life to reunite with you two brothers."[
He Ran felt extremely sad in his heart at this moment. He didn't even listen to what his sister-in-law said. He just lowered his head and shed tears.
Yun Ye said: "Sister-in-law, please give me my condolences. Don't drown your sorrows with wine, for fear of hurting your liver."
When He Ran heard this, he suddenly raised his head and saw that his sister-in-law had already drank another bottle. He screamed in his heart. Normally, his sister-in-law couldn't drink at this time. He had been in a daze since his elder brother committed suicide. , at this moment, he suddenly remembered that his sister-in-law had just drank a bottle. He rushed over, picked up the wine bottle, opened the lid and smelled it. He looked at his sister-in-law in horror and said, "This is poisonous wine?!"
Princess Qingyun smiled and said: "Second brother is indeed very smart. I have prepared this wine a long time ago. Third brother, you must learn more from second brother in the future. If you remain so honest, you will be bullied by him for the rest of your life."
Yun Yehui's intestines turned green. When he saw his sister-in-law drinking, he was only worried that drinking at this time would hurt his body. He didn't expect that the wine would be poisonous. He knelt down in front of the table and said urgently: "Sister-in-law, you can't die. Ah, the death of my eldest brother has made my second brother hate me. If my sister-in-law commits suicide again, he will have to kill me!" In desperation, he hoped that saying this would arouse his sister-in-law's desire to survive, but an honest person's idea was too naive.
He Ran shouted: "Look for a doctor quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Ye jumped up and ran outside without saying a word.
Princess Qingyun shook her head at He Ran and said with affection in her eyes: "My second brother is a smart man. He should know that no one can save my sister-in-law, who is destined to die. Even if I can save her for a while, I can't save her forever. Besides, the poison has penetrated deep into my heart and it's too late." Oh, you can't let me suffer from the medicine and stone before I die."
He Ran fell to his knees and cried bitterly: "Sister-in-law, don't you care about my nieces and nephews? Who will pity them now that my brother and sister-in-law are gone?"
Princess Qingyun looked sad and said: "I really can't worry about them, but why can't I bear to let your eldest brother be alone under Jiuquan? He is a lively person and doesn't know how to take care of himself. I must go and accompany him."
He Ran was heartbroken and looked at her with tears in his eyes and said: "I'm going. Didn't my sister-in-law say that my eldest brother likes to listen to my jokes the most? As long as my sister-in-law doesn't seek death, I will go and accompany my eldest brother."
Princess Qingyun Bi lovingly stroked his head and said, "You're fooling around again. What should you do if you go to those beautiful wives in the valley?" She said with a look of relief on her face, "Xiyao and I have been good friends since childhood. We have always been good friends.
She treats me as a biological sister, and I treat her as a biological sister. Originally, I have always been sentimental for her misfortune. I felt that her life was too miserable. I didn’t want God to take pity on her and send you to her. You don’t know that I have
Be happy for her and treat her well. As for your nieces and nephews, they have many relatives in the house. Even if others treat them poorly, you two brothers and Xiyao will not treat them poorly, so I can rest assured."
Seeing that she was biting her lip and showing that she was in a state of despair, she burst into tears and said sadly: "Brother and sister-in-law, why are you so cruel? I only have you two relatives in the world, and now they are all gone, so let me
How can you bear it?!"
Princess Qingyun looked at him lovingly and said: "Good brother, you are destined to do great things. Don't be too sad. All the people are waiting for your relief."
He Ran shouted in a hissing voice: "I don't care, what does their life and death have to do with me?! I just want my sister-in-law to live."
Princess Qingyun covered her chest with her hands. It was obvious that the poison had already taken hold. Her eyes showed and she begged: "Don't act out of anger, otherwise your eldest brother's death will be in vain. You have to let him feel at ease underground."
He Ran knew that his sister-in-law probably couldn't be saved, and he was afraid that she would die in peace, so he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will try my best to benefit the people, and my sister-in-law will definitely persist. Xiyao said that she would come to welcome her brother and sister-in-law to Cangxian.
Gu, sister-in-law has to meet her no matter what so that she doesn’t waste her time as a sister. From now on, if sister-in-law insists on accompanying her brother, we will never stop her."
Princess Qingyun shook her head and said: "I can't wait any longer, please do it for me..." At this point, her breath gradually disappeared, and her body became weak and exhausted.
