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

The second lady asked, "And then?"

They could accept that sending a letter saying they were coming back was just a trick, but now Chu Zhen was dead, who among them could accept it?

An Hui said: "Regarding the fact that King Cheng wants to attack Yizhou City, the Marquis should immediately make arrangements to meet the enemy in battle."

An Hui seemed to be gritting his teeth, probably because they felt that Dongfang Shuo's plan to attack Yizhou City was simply a pipe dream.

"But the Marquis discovered that our enemy in Yizhou City is not just King Cheng, but also an unknown force in the dark. So the Marquis divided the soldiers into two teams.

"One of the teams is led by Ding Sheng and Qin Yi to fight against King Cheng. The remaining team is led by the Marquis himself. Lord Wangshan has been guarding the Marquis's side all the time because of the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"The Marquis planned to take the troops behind him, hide in the dark, and wait for the invisible forces to emerge before attacking. It happened that Lord Wen sent a letter at that time, asking to reunite with the Marquis.

"The Marquis planned to lead his team to hide in the dark and reunite with Lord Wen. The route for hiding the forces and reunion was discovered by Lord Wangshan and his men..."

At this point, An Hui's face was cold, his teeth were even gritting, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, with veins bulging.

Everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts, and their bodies tensed up unconsciously. What happened next? What happened next?

"Later... the Marquis followed the path that Lord Wangshan had explored. However, just as we met up with Lord Wen, the enemy discovered our presence - we were ambushed by the enemy.

"Many of our men were killed or wounded. The ground was covered with blood and corpses... The Marquis protected Lord Wen all the way as they rushed out, but Lord Wen still fell off the cliff and his life or death is unknown. The Marquis was also seriously injured and died... And Lord Wangshan... None of us saw him halfway through the journey. He disappeared."

An Hui's eyes turned red.

The front hall was silent.

Everyone was unable to recover for a long time. Even Xie Lin was shocked by this statement. In An Hui's words, Chu Zhen died because there was a traitor among them, and this traitor was Wangshan, who was sent by Xie Lin to protect Chu Zhen every step of the way!

"Cough cough..." Xie Lin coughed violently and his face turned pale. Everyone looked at him. Even though he was the crown prince, Chu Zhen's death because of his personal guard made them all angry with him.

The love, hate and emotions that come from the heart will never diminish because of the difference in status between the two parties.

If it were usual, Chu Heyi would definitely go up and pat him on the back, but now, Chu Heyi just looked at him steadily.

She knew it was wrong, but it was her father who died! His biological father!

Cheng Ying stroked Xie Lin's back and brought him a sip of warm water. Xie Lin's condition improved. He took a deep breath and said, "Wangshan has no relatives. He has been with me since he was a child and is the most loyal. Now he is my personal guard and has a bright future. There is absolutely no reason for him to betray me. Maybe there is a misunderstanding."

The people from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion just looked at him without saying anything.

Xie Lin said, "Let's take a step back and say that even if he betrayed me, he not only betrayed the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but also betrayed me and the entire Daqi. If I can confirm that this is true, I will tear him into pieces and give justice to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

Because Wangshan had no relatives, he disappeared and there was no way to verify whether he had betrayed anyone.

If he had relatives, we could find clues from them, but, no!

Before leaving Shengjing City, he had always stayed by Xie Lin's side and was the person Xie Lin trusted the most. He would rather believe that Wangshan was dead than believe that he had betrayed him.

Xie Lin even suspected that what An Hui said was false, but when he asked other people later, their statements were almost the same as An Hui's.

All the statements point to one fact - Wangshan has betrayed.

Wangshan's rebellion resulted in Wen Tingshen's life and death being unknown, and led to Chu Zhen's death.

"It's so tragic for the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion. Such great glory was gained at the cost of lives. The second young lady's wedding day was the day when the Marquis of Zhenbei's body was sent back. It's so tragic." The people were talking about it.

The people felt very sympathetic towards the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion which was decorated in festive red yesterday but had been changed to white elegiac couplets today.

Xie Lin issued an imperial decree to posthumously confer the title of Duke of Zhenguo on Chu Zhen and buried him with the ceremony of a duke.

Court officials came one after another to pay their respects.

Chu Heyi stayed in Chu Zhen's study room when he was alive. Although it was called a study room, there were actually many more weapons than books.

When Xie Lin came in, Chu Heyi was stroking a dagger in his hand.

Xie Lin said softly: "I'm sorry that I'm posthumously conferring the title on my father-in-law now. I originally planned to confer the title after I ascended the throne..."

Chu Heyi continued to stroke the dagger without looking up. She said, "It doesn't matter. Father doesn't care about these things. It's okay to posthumously confer the title now. At least it gives the family some comfort."

Xie Lin fell silent. The study was very quiet. Chu Heyi found the whetstone and started sharpening the dagger. The only sound in the study was the sound of sharpening.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Lin sighed and asked her, "Are you blaming me?"

Chu Heyi slowly raised his head and looked at Xie Lin, and actually smiled: "What did my father say to you in the Imperial Study Room the night he returned from the Northern Territory?"

That smile was creepy. Xie Lin had never seen her smile like that before.

Her gaze was aggressive, yes, aggressive towards him.

Xie Lin finally did not hide anything and told Chu Heyi everything about the conversation between Chu Zhen and him that night.

"My father-in-law first asked me about the current situation in Daqi, and then specifically asked about Lord Wen being demoted to Liangzhou."

Chu Heyi continued to look at him: "What else? If he just wants to know the situation in Daqi, he doesn't have to ask you in person."

Xie Lin: "He mentioned Princess Cheng. He said that Princess Cheng was raised by his Chu family. He didn't know that the Chu family would raise such a disaster. He felt very guilty. He felt sorry for the people of the world. It was his sin. He told me that if there was a need in the future, he would be willing to lead the troops to attack the Cheng King and his wife and recapture Yanzhou City."

Chu Heyi stood up and looked directly into Xie Lin's eyes, his gaze as white as snow: "So, my father went to Yizhou City this time with the determination to fight to the death with Runxue?"

Xie Lin closed his eyes and finally nodded.

Chu Heyi asked again: "So, you actually knew from the beginning that my father went there with such determination?"

Xie Lin nodded again, his face already drained of color.

"You knew it all along, but you still let him go? If Runxue was the sin committed by my father, then my father's death was the sin committed by you!" Chu Heyi screamed, every word was full of tears.
