After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

In Heyang Hall, Huai Zhen was suffering from a severe headache.

His secret information came to report, and recently the fraud case was fermented, and Chu Shao was also involved in the public opinion storm.

It's fine to say that he is partial and selfish, but someone secretly directed the people's attention to the relationship between the old country of Nanqi and Chu Shao.

All these news naturally came from Taifu's residence.

Because of Wen's status in the palace, Wen Teng didn't dare to expose it publicly, so he casually revealed a few words between his fingers, and passed them on from Youyou's mouth. Tigers and leopards exist.

Huai Zhen frowned, he could protect the "Demon Empress", but he couldn't protect Nan Xi.

Chu Shao's hands were stained with the blood of many Zhongqin soldiers. Once it was known that he was the frontier enemy that everyone in Zhongqin feared and hated, then even if Huaizhen was powerful, he would not be able to keep Chu Shao by his side against the will of the people. up.

Wen Teng wanted to use the fraud case as a cover to pull Chu Shao down from the back position, so as to write a full text. Huai Zhen knew that his thoughts were not pure, so he had no strength to fight back for a while.

This time, he was completely forced to be passive by the officials.

To break the deadlock, someone needs to make the necessary sacrifices. He has used force to eliminate Wen's party, and he has been reprimanded for thousands of years.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"

Wen Yan staggered into the hall.

"What's the matter?!" Huai Zhen raised his eyes to see his flustered appearance, and asked with a frown.

Wen Yan suddenly fell to his knees: "Miss Chu...Miss Chu is gone."

Yuzhan fell off from his hand and fell to pieces, Chu Shao stared at Si Yun: "Say it again?"

Si Yun's face was ashen, and he was usually clumsy, and he didn't know how to express it euphemistically: "Miss Chu jumped from the tower of Mingzhi wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, and fell in front of Li Du's champion's horse...My lord, your condolences. "

Chu Shao was stunned by these words, he was stunned for a moment, tears poured out of his eyes, all his strength seemed to be emptied by the word "sorry", his mind quickly flashed through the various abnormalities of yesterday's Mingzi, and suddenly raised his eyes. He hit his head hard with his hand.

"Your Highness!" Both Xiangxiu and Si Yun were taken aback, and quickly stopped Chu Shao.

"She came to say goodbye to me yesterday...how stupid am I! I didn't realize that she had the idea of ​​committing suicide!?"

Chu Shao didn't cry loudly. Tears flowed silently all over his face. With his palms pressed against the table, he stood up with difficulty and was about to walk out, "I'll go and see...I have to go and see..."

Si Yun stopped in front of Chu Shao, begging in a trembling voice: "My lord, don't go, don't look..." Falling so high... I will never forget the sight of it.

Chu Shao didn't know where the strength came from, and directly pushed Si Yun away, and rushed out of the hall. Huai Zhen hurried to Qiwu Palace, and happened to hug Chu Shao who was rushing out regardless. Seeing that his face was full of tears, Then he knew that Mingzi's matter was not hidden.

"Xiao Shao, calm down." Huai Zhen endured his grief and hugged Chu Shao in his arms.

Chu Shao was in his arms, and finally cried bitterly, "She treats me like a younger brother, what did she do wrong to end up like this? What about the two elders of the Chu family? Mingzi is their only child! Huaizhen, you It's the emperor, why can't I even keep my sister?"

"sorry Sorry."

Conceited like Huai Jiugu, it was the first time that he felt incompetent.

Chu Shao covered her heart in pain, "I am also useless. I should have thought that she has a deep affection for Song Hao, how could she come out easily? I missed her, and I indirectly killed them both. people...!"

He was breathing more and more heavily, and the smell of iron gushed out of his throat. He raised his eyes and looked around blankly, only feeling that the world was hanging upside down, his eyes darkened, and he fell backwards.

Xiangxiu exclaimed: "Queen!!"

Huai Zhen hugged Chu Shao, whose body was sinking, his eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted at Si Yun: "Call Murong into the palace, hurry up!"

Si Yun flew out of Qiwu Palace in a flash.

Huaizhen's heart was beating like a beating drum, and he rushed into the bedroom with Chu Shao in his arms. As soon as he was put on the bed, Chu Shao jumped up his upper body, vomited a big mouthful of blood, stained Huaizhen's brocade clothes, and fell back to the soft pillow During this time, the blood on his face disappeared like an ebbing tide.

Xiangxiu cried out in fright, Huaizhen was still calm, "Go and prepare hot water, fry another bowl of the medicine he usually takes, and call all the maids of Qiwu Palace to wait outside the palace, what are you panicking about?" ?! Go!"

When he said this, his palms were cold, and it wasn't until Xiangxiu ran out of the dormitory to handle errands that Huaizhen moved his hands away from Chu Shao's body, and trembled in cold sweat with the hand full of calluses that was used to holding swords.

Chu Shao had already fallen into a coma, but his hands were still tightly clutching his heart, crumpling all the fabric there, which seemed to be excruciatingly painful.

Huai Zhen was at a loss, he wiped the blood from the corner of Chu Shao's mouth, covered the back of Chu Shao's hand with one hand, and hung his heart on the towering cliff.

"Qingxu, don't scare me..."

His mind was filled with the picture of Chu Shao almost being pissed off a year ago.

In just half a cup of tea, Murong was taken into the bedroom by Si Yun.

As soon as he saw the blood on Chu Shao's body, Murong knew that something was wrong, so he didn't even look at his pulse, and directly took out a pack of medicine that he had prepared earlier in the morning, and handed it to Si Yun: "Boil it into juice, bring it here! Hurry up! "

Si Yun stepped forward to do it.

Murong applied the needle first, and then started to take the pulse, as if he had guessed what kind of disease it was early in the morning.

Huai Zhen waited patiently aside, carefully observing the changes in Murong's expression, and saw that his brows were tightly furrowed and never relaxed.

After the acupuncture, Chu Shao gradually loosened his grip on his heart, and fell asleep quietly.

Huai Zhen asked Murong: "Did you expect to have this symptom?"

Murong Chang sighed: "Your Majesty is like this today, she is still in love with Gu."

The conjecture in his heart was verified, and Huaizhen felt chills on his back: "Hasn't the Love Gu already been solved? You promised me that day that the Love Gu would not kill, at most it is slightly poisonous. Now the one-year period has passed , he has been taking good care of him for so long, how can the Love Gu still cause trouble?!"

"Your Majesty! If the Love Gu is automatically dispelled after a year, it will indeed not kill you! But all kinds of changes that day pulled each other, and the Love Gu was forcibly broken when Chu Shao was both mentally and spiritually damaged. This is the best love Gu. Fatal danger! Chu Shao's body is bruised! After that, he was stabbed and fell off a cliff, even the iron man can't stand such a torment!"

Huaizhen felt like being cut by a knife, and the thing he feared most happened—all kinds of unavoidable injuries he had done to Chu Shao that day had now become an irreversible foregone conclusion.

"But in the past few months...he has gotten better, he has been fattened by me!"

"Chu Shao spent a lot of time in the palace cooking gold and eating jade to take good care of him so that he didn't suffer from illness, but once he started to work hard, his body collapsed visibly with the naked eye. It looked like the clouds were blooming, but in fact it could fall down when the wind blows."

Murong blamed himself endlessly, after all he was the accomplice of the voodoo: "Your Majesty has moved all the gold and silver mountains in the world, and I have devoted my life to medical skills. At most, I can protect him for five years."

"Five years?!" Huai Zhen held Chu Shao's hand, the bell was still tied on it, he didn't want to believe it, "Did I ruin him until he only has five years left?"

Murong knelt on the ground, speechless for a while.

"How could this be?" Huai Jiugu put Chu Shao's cool palm on his face, and choked up, "I have everything now, but I can't protect the people Chu Shao cares about, and I can't keep Chu Shao's heart , Now you say, I can't even let him live well?"

Weeping, he said in a painful voice: "If I had known this before, I would rather not be in the Qin Dynasty."

Murong thought of the Kunlan people who traveled to the north, and knew that Huaizhen was in a dilemma, and loyalty and righteousness could not be balanced.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be harsh on yourself. In fact, there is still a last chance."

Huai Zhen's tears hung at the end of his eyes and did not fall, he looked at Murong.

Murong said: "When I was a young man traveling in Xiyi, I heard the doctor there mention that there is a sacred tree in the royal family of Xiyi called 'Phoenix Tree'. It is said that it is a sacred tree born from the nirvana of a phoenix. Its leaves are like the feathers of a flying phoenix and its flowers are If the crown of the red phoenix* is used, if its flowers are used as medicine, it will be easy to bring the dead back to life."

Huai Zhen rekindled hope: "I will write a book now, and exchange fifteen western border cities for Phoenix trees!"

"Your Majesty, this sacred tree is a national treasure of Xiyi. I'm afraid it cannot be exchanged for fifteen cities."

Huaizhen thought for a while and said, "Then let Xiyi destroy the country, and Xiyi's national treasure will naturally become my Zhongqin's national treasure, and Shao'er will be saved."

Murong: "..."

"Phoenix wood has spirituality, if Your Highness goes all out to seize it, it may backfire." Murong looked at Chu Shao who was unconscious on the bed, "Your Majesty is kind, and she would not want Your Majesty to rekindle the border war for him alone. "

"...First send envoys to the royal family of Xiyi to express your sincerity. It would be best if we can trade peacefully." Huai Zhen kissed Chu Shao's palm, his eyes full of self-blame and tenderness, "Shao'er lives well, I can make amends."

Si Yun came in with the medicine, Huai Zhen put his arms around Chu Shao and let him lean in his arms, Chu Shao was still awake and the medicine couldn't go in, so Huai Jiugu took a sip by himself, and crossed over mouth to mouth.

Murong took the angry Si Yun away, and closed the bedroom door behind him.

In his drowsiness, Chu Shao vaguely felt that someone was rubbing his lips, he moaned and resisted, and finally opened his eyes amidst the scent of medicine, and saw that Huaizhen was really belittling him.

However, he still instinctively swallowed the concoction that Gang Du had in his mouth.

Huai Zhen would love to be a rogue in bed, but today he won't.

After feeding the medicine, he put Chu Shao back on the bed, didn't mention what Murong said, but asked softly, "Is your heart still feeling bad?"

Chu Shao pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and in the blink of an eye, tears filled his eyes again, and he held Huai Zhen's hand: "Buy Mingzi generously, treat the Chu family well."

"If you don't tell me, I'll do the same." Huai Jiugu recruited Wen Yan, "I drafted an order to posthumously confer Chu Mingzi the princess of Deqing, and give her a lavish funeral as a princess. Promote Chu Hong, the magistrate of Suizhou, to the second-rank Guanwen Palace University scholar, transfer him back to Beijing, and give the other courtyard as his official residence."

The two elders of the Chu family live in Beijing, which is convenient for the palace to take care of, and can also give Chu Shao peace of mind.

"And..." Chu Shao propped himself up, and added, "When things come to light, let Song Hao and Ming Zi be buried together, and hope that they can meet again in the next life."

"I will definitely return Song Hao's innocence." Huaizhen drew up another decree, "County Deqing accused the Tai Tuo of gaining power with his death. I have to pay attention to it. The decree will be passed on to order Wen Chong, the Lord of the Town, to take over the Ministry of Punishment and thoroughly investigate this matter. In the next autumn’s fraud case, the Tribute Court, the Ministry of Punishment, and relevant people in the Taifu’s Mansion must cooperate with Zhen Guogong to investigate the case, and if anyone dares to disobey, there is no need to report it, and he will be punished directly for the crime of deceiving the emperor.”

Wen Chong is the head of military generals, the founding general, won the hearts of the people, and is also Huaizhen's most important hole card, but without Chu Mingzi's death to show his ambition, Huaizhen would not even have the chance to play the hole card.

"Before Mingzi died, she wanted to clarify for me that she had to die for me...""

Thinking of the words that Si Yun relayed, Chu Shao felt as if his heart was crushed by a stone—the slander from the outside could not hurt Chu Shao, and Chu Shao didn’t want the so-called innocence and fame at all, but those who really value Chu Shao and love Chu Shao, It is absolutely unbearable for him to suffer this kind of injury.

Huaizhen is also grateful to Mingzi for suppressing the rumors of Nanqi's old country so that Chu Shao can continue to stay by his side.

Chu Mingzi used her life to fight back against the people's unbearable remarks, in exchange for Song Hao's chance to reverse the case, in exchange for Chu Shao's reputation, and also freed Huaizhen from being completely passive.

Huai Zhen kissed Chu Shao's forehead and hugged him into his arms, he was comforting Chu Shao.

Chu Shao didn't resist, Huai Zhen couldn't be blamed for this matter.

It is a chronic disease of the Zhongqin court that the Wen family exercised power, and it cannot be expected that a new emperor who has just ascended the throne for three months will completely eradicate the root cause of the disease.

Wen Teng is not dead, Ming Zi's tragedy will continue to be staged on the people Chu Shao cares about.

He could even predict that if his brother was still in Beijing, it would be his own brother who suffered this time.

Chu Shao weakly clenched the clothes on Huaizhen's back, and he closed his eyes wearily, allowing himself and Jiu Gu to cuddle up to each other for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no sorrow and fragility in them, only endless killing intent.
