Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist
Chapter 255: Die for Love
According to the plan, Qing Yu came to another suspected imperial uncle.
She had already checked the way into the palace in advance and was hiding in the dark, keeping an eye on any unexpected events in the palace.
Less than half an hour later, noises were heard from the palace.
"There are assassins!"
"Quick! Catch the assassin!"
The guards shouted one after another, the assassin was not referring to her, but the person who killed the emperor's uncle.
She guessed that if both of these imperial uncles knew the secret, then if one of them made any unusual move, both of them would die.
As she expected, the emperor's uncle whom she had just met had already fled with his wife and children, and the fighting began.
She got up and left the palace, leaving behind someone with strange movements. Not long after, someone left the palace in the dark, and she followed quietly.
Along the way, she didn't know what she was thinking, trying to find evidence, or hoping that the murderer was not Brother Zhou.
But the truth is so cruel, and fate is so cruel.
She saw the killer meet someone, and that person was He Yi.
This is the evidence.
royal palace.
He Yi, who received the news, reported it to Xiao Yanzhou.
"Your Majesty, the people have been dealt with."
"It's just... I didn't see the princess." He Yi lowered his head, his back felt cold, and he held his breath.
Xiao Yanzhou's eyes moved slightly, hiding his emotions.
I didn’t expect things to happen so quickly. Xiao Yu appeared in the palace a few days after he disappeared.
What he didn't expect was that Xiao Yu would risk her life to help Xiao Yanqing, even though he could have stopped her if he had caught her in the palace.
But he knew that he could stop it for a while, but not for a lifetime.
He felt that he was ridiculous. What he was most worried about now was what Xiaoyu would think of him, whether she would hate him or dislike him?
Is this feeling very uncomfortable? It must be terrible to be hated by the woman you love.
He drank the wine in the cup, rested his chin on his left hand, rubbed the wine glass with the fingertips of his right hand, and looked through the light to the little man on the paper.
After a long while, he said casually, "Everyone, except He Yi, leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Upon seeing this, Eunuch Li took everyone away.
He Yi stood there with his head down, waiting for his instructions.
"He Yi, I remember you have been following me since you were a child."
He Yi was slightly startled, and quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty chose me, and that's why we are here today."
"Yes, I can trust you."
He Yi immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I only serve Your Majesty and have no second thoughts."
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, "So, there are some things that only you can do."
Before He Yi could ask, he continued to speak, his tone was different from the indifference just now, "I'm afraid something will happen tomorrow, I need you..."
As he spoke, He Yi was shocked and couldn't believe what would happen tomorrow, and he couldn't believe that His Majesty was willing to sink.
"Your Majesty! Please think twice! You are the king of a country, you cannot take such a risk. There must be other ways, Your Majesty." He Yi, kneeling on the ground, begged again and again. He could not bear to see His Majesty risking his life.
"I have decided. I want to take a gamble and see if I can get her this way."
His firm and unquestionable attitude also made He Yixin sink to the bottom.
"Remember, your mission is to protect her and not let anyone take her away."
"Yes! I understand!" He Yi's response was extremely heavy.
Your Majesty has made up his mind and no one can stop him.
……
It was past the fifth watch. Qing Yu drank the wine in the pot, looked at the calm lake, and felt the coolness brought by the breeze.
No one knew how long she sat by the lake, or what she was thinking.
Her right hand tightly grasped the papers she had sorted out and filled with notes.
Zhou Yian woke up early, and everyone who had been looking for Qingyu had been unable to sleep or eat recently.
He walked to the lake, thinking of trying his luck, but unexpectedly he actually saw her.
He quickly ran over and walked behind her, but she remained as usual and did not react at all.
Noticing the wine flask in her left hand, he asked tentatively, "Qing Yu... where have you been?"
She didn't say anything, she was cold as ice and made people feel unapproachable.
"His Highness has been looking for you. He has... fallen ill twice. Go back and see him." Zhou Yian gestured again. He believed that even if Qing Yu was angry, he would not abandon his senior brother.
Sure enough, her eyes moved slightly when she heard it, but she remained silent.
Seeing that she was not going to say anything, he sighed helplessly, "Then I'll go and call His Highness over."
Finally, she spoke in a weak voice, "I will return when things are settled."
"Qing Yu, what did you do?" What they were most worried about was that she would go out of her way to find the real murderer and do something irreparable.
She took another sip of wine. Zhou Yian was a little angry and quickly snatched it away.
She wiped the spilled wine casually and said, "The murderer... has been found."
"What?!" He looked at her in panic and confirmed again, "Are you talking about the murderer who killed my senior brother's family?"
The pale lips slightly raised, and she smiled bitterly, "When Zheng Linhan knew that I loved Yan Qing, she smiled and was willing to choose death."
Zhou Yian didn't quite understand the sudden change of topic. "Are you referring to Concubine Zheng?"
"I didn't kill her. She chose to die."
"Because she knows that I can't win. My fiancée is Zhao Wanqiao, so I can't win. The murderer... is Brother Zhou, so I can't win either."
The result of the thunderbolt from the blue sky hit him again, stimulating the meridians in his body, "The murderer... is Your Majesty?!"
"Why?!" He didn't understand why the emperor would kill them since he was sitting on the throne.
"Why..." She repeated dully in a trance, "Yes, I want to know too, why?"
"Why do you want to take away other people's happiness? Why do you have to destroy this beauty?" She smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I don't understand."
I listened to her words, noticed her weak condition, lifted her arm to check her wound, and luckily she had changed the medicine.
Just in case, Zhou Yian still took action.
From beginning to end, she did not resist and did not say anything until the end.
"Yian, I want to ask you a favor." She noticed that the time was almost up.
"Whatever it is, let's talk about it when we get back." He had anticipated that if he didn't stop her, something terrible would definitely happen.
"You can't stop me."
"Qing Yu! Your injuries haven't healed yet, and you've been missing for so many days. Can you value your life a little more?" He couldn't help but raise his voice, anger swirling in his heart, and he couldn't tolerate seeing her risking her life like this.
He asked her about what she had said to Zhao Wanqiao, asking others to cherish life, but what about herself?
"Who would care about a soul polluted by garbage? What's the point? Haha."
"Besides, if I succeed, everything will be over. Isn't that a happy ending?"
"Qingyu, I won't let you go!" Zhou Yian stood in front of her, looking as if he was determined to stop her to the death.
She stood up and dusted herself off. "Don't worry, I just want to confirm something. I won't be so impulsive."
"Here." She pointed to the letter in her hand, "Give this to Yan Qing in two hours. He will understand after reading it."
He reached out to take it. If he took it back to His Highness now, would he be able to stop Qing Yu?
She seemed to see his intention, "Yian, as long as you promise, I will be obedient, take medicine well, and recuperate well in the future."
"Really?" he asked again uncertainly.
"Yeah, definitely."
She turned and left without stopping, but repeated what she had just said in her heart.
If... I can come back alive, I will be obedient.
