Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

Qing Yu went to the palace, and He Yi took her directly to his bedroom.

Everything was the same as before. She didn't know if it was her illusion or her mood had changed, but she always felt that the palace was deserted today.

Xiao Yanzhou was sitting upstairs, having started handling government affairs early in the morning. He noticed the figure in front of him smiling at her.

"Xiao Yu!" He couldn't wait to walk up to her.

"I heard that Xiaoyu disappeared before, and I sent people to look for her. Later, I heard that Xiaoyu went back. I just don't know what happened in between?"

She shook her head slightly, her calm expression seemed to have absorbed all the restlessness, "Nothing special."

"Xiao Yu, can you tell me?" Something must have happened recently, otherwise why would she disappear.

He grasped her arm with his palm, noting her slightly furrowed brow and the thick feel of his hand on her arm.

After a pause, he realized something and carefully lifted her sleeve.

The fair skin was wrapped in gauze, covering the wound inside, and one could even see the red blood inside.

"Injured? When did it happen?!" The storm swept across his deep brows.

After a slight hesitation, she moved her lips and spoke slowly, "It was... the day when Brother Zhou used my name to lure Zhao Wanqiao out."

In a moment, he froze, "Xiao Yu...what are you talking about?"

She knew that if she lured Yan Qing away and asked her to enter the palace, and then led her to the place where Zhao Wanqiao was persecuted, if it weren't for the group of killers causing trouble, she would probably lead Yan Qing over later.

Witness it with her own eyes. If anyone continues to slander her, I’m afraid there will be no chance for her and Yan Qing anymore.

Now...it's impossible.

"Brother Zhou, is it necessary to sacrifice so many people in order to sit on the throne?" She asked again with a gentle gaze.

His pupils suddenly tightened and he stared at her blankly, even feeling her despair.

"Xiao Yu...what's wrong?"

"Even if they are innocent, they have to die?"

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes tinged with coldness, "If this is the only way to control everything, then they must die."

"Boom!"

A cold touch spread through the body. The flesh was persecuted, and the pain gradually spread, eventually reaching the heart.

He slightly widened his eyes and lowered his head to look at the dagger that was stabbed into his abdomen.

"Brother Zhou...it was you who killed Yan Qing's family, right?" She held the dagger tightly without letting go.

The severe pain caused the originally handsome face to be slightly distorted.

He still managed a smile, "Yes..."

"Why do they have to die?" Her face was expressionless, but she couldn't stop the tears from flowing out of her eyes.

He caressed her wet cheek lovingly and answered her question in a hoarse voice, "What they want is easily available to them. He and I are clearly on equal footing, so why should he be the one to do it?"

There is no hatred, no anger, only bitterness and heartache.

"Just like now, why can Xiao Yanqing get you...but I can't."

"He has let Xiao Yu down and hurt Xiao Yu time and time again... Xiao Yu has seen it all and is vulnerable."

Her tears became more and more uncontrollable, her sobs and cries were all stuck in her throat. She felt so painful, her heart ached so much.

"Xiao Yu, I love you, and I want to be with you forever."

Hearing the words that reached her heart, she was stunned, and the hand holding the dagger loosened at this moment.

Love? Brother Zhou loves her? He wants to be with her forever, why?

At this time, He Yi walked in and watched the horrifying scene.

"His Majesty!"

"Someone! Call the imperial physician!"

"Shut up!" he shouted. "Block the news!"

"Your Majesty!" He Yi looked at the pool of blood. Everything was just as Your Majesty expected. Why did it happen like this?

"Block the news." He repeated again.

He was getting weaker and weaker due to excessive blood loss and pain. "Xiao Yu... you know... this is not a weak spot."

He held her hand and placed it on her chest where her heart was. "Here... is it."

She seemed to be frightened and suddenly let go of her hands, but she never expected that he would hold her tightly in his arms. The dagger in her abdomen pierced deeper with this hug.

"What are you doing? Let go! You will die!" She tried desperately to push him away, but he held her tighter and didn't move at all.

"Xiao Yanzhou let go!"

Tears poured down my face one after another, one after another, the pain went deep into my bones and I couldn't stop it.

Hearing her anxious call, a smile appeared on his pale face, "I finally understand... why Xiao Yanqing asked Xiao Yu to call him by his name. It feels good."

"Hello, Brother Zhou. Nice name too."

"Go quickly! Call the imperial physician!" she shouted at He Yi who had been standing there in a daze.

Seeing this, He Yi hurriedly called the imperial physician in.

"Xiao Yu...if I survive, can you give me a chance?"

"Why is this happening?"

She took his gradually softening body and listened to the words lingering in her ears, "I love you, I will give you everything you want... Everything, I can do it!"

His promises repeatedly deepened the pain in her heart. She didn't understand, if she clearly wanted him to die, didn't he hate her?

……

Before this, Zhou Yian sat in the house holding the envelope, feeling extremely anxious. He didn't understand why it had to be two hours later. What on earth was she going to do?

He still couldn't feel at ease. After less than an hour, he finally opened the letter and read its contents.

It records all the information Qingyu has investigated over the past two days. Pay attention to the final result.

Qingyu must have gone to the palace!

Without hesitation, he handed the letter to Xiao Yanqing as quickly as possible.

Xiao Yanqing saw the contents of the letter, the answer given by the emperor's uncle, the information revealed to her by Shen Han, and the killer who killed the emperor's uncle. All the evidence confirmed that the murderer was Xiao Yanzhou!

His heart felt like it was going to explode in his chest, especially after learning that she was going to the palace. He was completely panicked. She was going to die!

His eyes stayed on the last line of the letter: Yan Qing, if I succeed, can you only love me?

Without stopping for a moment, he rode at full speed to the palace, and even prepared his troops to rescue her at any time.

But when he arrived at the palace, he found out that he was too late. The emperor had blocked all news and refused to see anyone, and no one knew what had happened inside.

"Is she in there?!" He frowned and stared fiercely at He Yi who was waiting outside.

"Whatever your Highness has to say, please go back."

"I just want to see her!" He tried to keep calm. If the guards hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed in long ago.

"Your Majesty has ordered that no one may enter. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."

"How can you stop me?" His cold brows were furrowed like an angry wolf. Every word he spoke was sharp and angular, shocking everyone around him.

He Yi's heart tightened, and the soldiers around him exchanged glances with each other, their fears unconcealed.

"Does Your Highness intend to disobey my order?!"

"Is she in there?" He approached again.

Just when things were getting out of control, she slowly walked out of the house and appeared before him.

"Yuer!" Both his expression and voice softened instantly.

"Princess!" He Yi was shocked.

She saw He Yi's worry and explained, "Don't worry, I won't leave until Brother Zhou wakes up."

Hearing this, He Yi signaled the guards to stop them.

He came up to her and they looked into each other's eyes. It was only a few days since they last saw each other, but it seemed like a very long time had passed.
