"Can we talk about this later?"

As soon as they finished speaking, Jiang Yu and He Zhilin looked at Jiang Xue and saw that she was sweating and her face was pale.

Jiang Yu said: "Xue'er, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm just too tired, that's okay." Jiang Xue forced herself to smile, "Brother, I want to go back to my room and rest for a while."

Jiang Yu said: "Okay, I'll take you there."

He Zhilin was a little anxious and said, "Your Highness, I have something that I need to tell you right away."

Jiang Xue walked to the door and was stunned for a long time.

She bit her lip as if she had made a huge decision.

Jiang Xue looked back and showed a sad smile.

She said: "That's all, I also have something I want to talk to Brother He."

Jiang Yu looked confused, feeling that Jiang Xue was too unusual at this moment. He walked over to support Jiang Xue and said:

"Say it here?"

Jiang Xue raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yu, nodded firmly and said:

"it is good."

She said to Jiang Yu: "Brother, please go find Xiaochun Fudong. This is the Gu Mansion after all, and I won't worry if I don't have my own people to guard it."

Jiang Yu nodded and went out.

Jiang Xue's face was full of dejection, and she never dared to look at He Zhilin.

He Zhilin didn't know why she became like this, so he cautiously said:

"Your Highness, may I take your pulse?"

Jiang Xue turned around, facing away from him, and said:

"Brother He, please sit down first. I'll get someone to show you some tea."

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Xue remembered that she had rejected the maids of Gu Mansion earlier, and felt a little embarrassed and panicked.

"I, I'm going out to call someone."

Jiang Xue walked out of Chaolu Pavilion as if to escape, took a few deep breaths, tried to clear his thoughts and calm down.

She was about to speak to the servants not far away, but she saw that Jiang Yu had already brought Xiaochun Fudong over, and there were two Wu Anlang behind him.

"I just walked not far away and saw them coming to Chaolu Pavilion." Jiang Yu walked closer.

"I have met His Highness." The two of them saluted. "Everyone has been settled. Let's come over and ask His Highness for instructions. What should we do next?"

"But Jiang Qibin and Chen Xiu?" Jiang Xue looked at Wu Anlang who was not far behind them and asked.

"Your Highness, they are the two of them." Xiaochun replied.

"You're here just in time." Jiang Xue said, "You and Fu Dong go and prepare some tea to bring in, and ask them to come with me first."

The two nodded in agreement.

Jiang Xue and Jiang Yu walked to the door of Chaolu Pavilion. Jiang Xue turned around and whispered to Jiang Qibin and Chen Xiu:

"Just stay here and don't let anyone from the Gu family get close."

Jiang Yu glanced at He Zhilin sitting stupidly and gave him a questioning look.

He Zhilin looked helpless, spread his hands, and showed an expression of "How did I know?"

Jiang Qibin and Chen Xiu took the order and turned their backs.

Jiang Xue walked towards He Zhilin with a determined look in her eyes.

He Zhilin was about to stand up, but saw Jiang Xue suddenly kneeling to the ground facing him.

He was dumbfounded and quickly reached out to help Jiang Xue, but he couldn't move her.

"Your Highness, what are you doing!"

"Xue'er, what are you doing!"

He Zhilin and Jiang Yu spoke at the same time.

Jiang Xue looked up, her pale face covered with tears.

"He Yuanzheng, Mr. He," she said sadly, "he died because of me."

Her eyes were full of pain and regret. After saying this, she finally dared to raise her eyes to look at He Zhilin as if she was relieved.

He Zhilin was stunned.

He said: "No, my grandfather suffered a sudden illness due to illness..."

"It's not a disease, it's suicide by taking poison." Jiang Xue sobbed.

He Zhilin felt like thunder exploded in his mind, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

My grandfather passed away suddenly that year. He was still in good spirits the day before, but early the next morning, the old servant who served him discovered that he had already gone west.

The He family is a medical family, and his family's traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, including him, examined his grandfather's body and found nothing abnormal.

He didn't understand why Jiang Xue suddenly said this, and looked at Jiang Xue kneeling on the ground in shock.

"Three years ago, in order to avenge myself, I forced Mr. He to do something."

Jiang Xue murmured.

Jiang Yu suddenly remembered that she had said that in the plan to poison Xiao Qi, someone gave her a dose of the most poisonous medicine in the world.

"The medicine that poisoned Xiao Qi——" he said in disbelief, "was it given to you by Mr. He?"

He Zhilin felt another roar in his head.

Xiao Qi?

Jiang Xue, killed Xiao Qi?

The one who he used to watch from the side, looking at her with eyes filled with nothing but his heart—Xiao Qi?

He suddenly said: "What..."

Jiang Xue nodded painfully.

When she learned that the Qian Kingdom delegation was about to arrive in Beijing, she went out of the palace to visit He Yuan that night.

When He Yuan learned of Jiang Xue's intention, he didn't agree at first.

Even Jiang Xue knelt down and cried blood every word.

And he has been practicing medicine to help the world for many years, and has always adhered to the virtues of Xingtan. It is impossible for a medical student to use his skills to harm others.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue took out a dagger and put it on her neck.

At that time, she was tortured day by day by her guilt and was on the verge of going crazy.

She said: "Grandpa He, whether you help me or not, I will take the life of the eldest brother on his behalf."

"That day you diagnosed that the eldest emperor brother was poisoned and not seriously ill, but because you were thinking about me, you hid it from your father, the emperor, and your mother."

"Besides me, the Second Emperor Brother, and Xiao Qi, you are the only one who knows the truth about what happened that day."

"You know, I am also one of the sinners. In order to atone for his sins, what I can do and want to do now is to avenge the eldest brother, and there is nothing else."

"If you don't help me today, even if I risk my life, I will find a way to kill him on the way back to the mission."

"I don't care what kind of war breaks out, or how much infamy I have to bear behind me. Today I declare my will with blood—"

She inserted the knife deeply, and a bloodstain immediately appeared on her neck.

"Jiang Xue will definitely kill Xiao Qi with her own hands to comfort my brother's spirit in heaven."

He Yuan was frightened and hurriedly reached out to stop the dagger.

He has watched all the princes and princesses in the palace grow up.

Especially Jiang Xue, he has no grandchildren in his family, so every time Jiang Xue enters the palace, Jiang Xue's "Grandpa congratulations" always makes him feel weak.

Jiang Xue often fell ill when he was young. No matter how late at night it was, whenever the palace summoned the hospital, he would go there in person even if he was not on duty.

In his heart, he regarded Jiang Xue as his granddaughter and loved her.

But that kid Xiao Qi...

The child came to Ji Dynasty when he was six years old. The noble son of the royal family in the south had never experienced the cold in the north. When he first arrived, he often suffered from frostbite.

When he went to check his pulse several times, the child had a high fever, holding his arm in a daze, and kept calling him in a low voice.

"Weng Weng, Weng Weng."

He raised his head and sighed, it was fate that these children would end up where they are today.

"This plan," his old voice came, "will it cause the least harm to His Highness?"

Jiang Xue's stubborn face was full of tears.

"Please, Grandpa He, help me this time. Only if you help me can I completely dissociate the Ji Dynasty royal family from this matter."

"That's it, that's all."

"After three days, I will personally deliver the things to His Highness."

He tremblingly lifted up Jiang Xue who was sitting on the ground, lovingly took the dagger from her weak hand, and said:

"But Your Highness, you need to promise me three things."

"The first thing is that no matter what situation you find yourself in in the future, Your Highness must not injure or destroy yourself."

He carefully put the dagger in his sleeve.

"The second thing is that after this is done, Your Highness should not dwell on the past. From now on, just look forward and don't be bound by hatred."

He took out the silk handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the blood from the wound on Jiang Xue's neck.

"The third thing is my useless grandson Zhi Lin."

He said: "If Your Highness meets him in the future, if he has the intention to commit a crime... please forgive him, Your Highness."
