The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The eighth prince stood there, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, but his whole body seemed to be frozen.

Concubine Zhen's mind buzzed and she suddenly lost her voice. She didn't know how to face her child and could only stare at him blankly.

Luo Cheng said: "The Eighth Prince is already not young anymore, there is no need to hide it from him anymore!"

Concubine Zhen and the Eighth Prince still did not speak. The mother and son stared into each other's eyes. Perhaps at this moment they did not know how they wanted the other to respond.

So, silence, pain, and suffering.

Finally, Luo Cheng let go of Concubine Zhen's body, but instead grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of the Eighth Prince. They both squatted down at the same time, their eyes level with the Eighth Prince.

Luo Cheng raised his free right hand and grasped the Eighth Prince's shoulder. The Eighth Prince wanted to dodge, but Luo Cheng's big hand was like an iron clamp, tightly clamping him. The Eighth Prince felt that his shoulder bone was about to break, and he could not dodge at all.

"Eighth Prince, if you dare to tell anyone about this, the three of us will die. Remember, I'm talking about the three of us, me, your mother, and you!" Luo Cheng's tone was gloomy and fierce.

Concubine Zhen shouted, "You scared him!"

Luo Cheng: "If I don't say this, he won't know the seriousness of the matter and will betray us sooner or later. Only after I explain it clearly will he realize that he is in the same boat with us.

"Even if he is the son of the emperor, his bloodline will be suspected. If the bloodline of a prince is suspected, then there is only one way out, death, do you know?"

Luo Cheng spoke the following words while staring into the Eighth Prince's eyes, with a ferocious and powerful tone.

At this moment, the Eighth Prince felt as if he had fallen into an icy sea. He could hear Luo Cheng's words and see the faces of Luo Cheng and Concubine Zhen, but his entire body was cold. Countless icy waters flooded over him, suffocating him, and his chest ached so much that it seemed as if it was about to explode.

The eighth prince suddenly took two steps back, gathered all his strength, and slammed his head against the rockery. With a "bang", countless blood spurted out, covering his face, and he fainted.

The pain in my heart finally stopped temporarily.

……

Chu Heyi was waiting for Xie Lin in the imperial study. After only an incense stick of time, Xie Lin arrived.

"This is the secret report that my eldest brother sent from the northern border. Take a look." Chu Heyi handed the secret report to Xie Lin across the low table.

After Xie Lin unfolded it and read it, his brows furrowed.

The servants were guarding outside the door, and there were only the two of them in the imperial study. When they didn't speak, the study was silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Heyi took the initiative to speak: "This is not a good sign. The wife of our general who guards the northern border of Daqi ran away with the prince of the enemy country. The soldiers under us must feel extremely humiliated and violent. The war between the two countries cannot be stopped."

The two of them sat on carved wooden chairs, with a low table between them. Xie Lin didn't speak for a while, just looked at Chu Heyi.

"There is also the force of Zhou Yuchi, the third prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who is invading Shengjing City. He is also ready to make a move. I just learned this morning that he has met with several ministers in private."

Xie Lin was not unaware of this, so when Chu Heyi finished speaking, the imperial study became quiet again.

Chu Heyi asked him, "Is the person who will replace Zhou Mochi ready? The war is coming, and Zhou Mochi should go back to Northern Zhou."

Xie Lin: "He has been training for the past few months. I went to take a look this morning. The double is about 70% similar to Prince Zhou Wu. As long as Zhou Yuchi doesn't have close contact with him, he won't notice anything."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Even if you can see some clues, it's not a big problem. Prince Zhou Wu has been away from Northern Zhou for many years, so it's inevitable that he is different from when he was a child."

Chu Heyi said: "In that case, let Zhou Mochi leave for Northern Zhou tonight, send his sister to the palace, and add guards to protect her."

Xie Lin nodded slightly and said "hmm".

He suddenly reached out and held Chu Heyi's hand which was resting on the low table. Chu Heyi immediately turned her head and met his deep and gentle eyes. Chu Heyi's heart skipped a beat.

I always feel like Xie Lin has seen through my worries.

"As the crown prince, it is my duty to protect the country of Daqi and stabilize the court. Just leave these things to me. I just want you to stay by my side."

After a pause, he continued, "I know that you are the same as your father and brother. Although you are a woman, you have great ambitions and care for the people. But, if you want to do anything, you must tell me in advance. No matter what you do, let me see you at all times."

Only in this way can he feel at ease.

After being stared at by Xie Lin for a long time, Chu Heyi felt like he had seen through her. She suddenly came up with an idea and stepped forward, "Will you have three harems and six courtyards and ignore me in the future?"

Xie Lin was very serious, with no sign of joking on his face, and he said, "No."

"As long as you don't have other concubines and don't ignore me, I will never leave you, never!" Chu Heyi also said solemnly.

At midnight that day, the couple sent Zhou Mochen away from Shengjing City and returned to Northern Zhou.

The next afternoon, the emperor, who had been "seriously ill" for a long time, suddenly sent someone to invite Xie Lin to the Taiji Hall to discuss his abdication.

Xie Lin took Wangshan to the Taiji Hall.

But when he passed by Changning Palace, he heard a shrill scream coming from inside. Xie Lin frowned slightly, and after listening carefully, he said, "It seems to be the voice of the Eighth Prince?"

Wang Shan echoed, "It is indeed the Eighth Prince's voice, but the one living here is the Emperor's Concubine Ning, not Concubine Zhen. How could the Eighth Prince be here?"

Xie Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Wang Shan agreed, and the master and servant entered Changning Palace. There was only one palace maid guarding outside. When she saw Xie Lin, she immediately bowed.

Xie Lin said coldly: "I heard the Eighth Prince screaming outside. What's going on?"

The maid shook her head, almost crying with fear: "The Eighth Prince ordered me to stay outside. No matter what noise I heard, I was not allowed to go in without his order."

"Where is Concubine Ning?" Xie Lin asked again.

The maid was shaking with fear as she replied, "Noble Lady Ning has gone to the Taiji Palace to serve the Emperor."

The screams from inside were still coming, very tragic. Xie Lin raised his foot and strode into the palace. There was no one in the hall. When he turned the corner, he saw the Eighth Prince huddled in the corner. When he saw him coming, he was still trembling, as if he had received a great shock, and pointed tremblingly at the screen.

Xie Lin looked towards the screen and saw a red hem. His pupils suddenly shrank. The color and pattern of the hem were so familiar. It was the color and pattern of the dress that Chu Heyi wore that morning.

The clothes worn by the Crown Princess are completely different from those worn by others. Could the person behind the screen be Chu Heyi?

Xie Lin recalled that after Chu Heyi had lunch with him, he left the palace privately to deal with the ministers who had secretly met with Zhou Yuchi.

But now, he saw Chu Heyi's skirt spreading out from behind the screen, and under the skirt, there was a stream of blood...

Could it be that she did not leave the palace and was lured here and killed?

Xie Lin's heart was suddenly grasped by an invisible hand, and he quickly stepped forward.
