Death Princess

Nearly half a month has passed since the day when Zhao Lu and He Kunju talked in secret.

The battle between the imperial court and the spirit clan has completely fallen into a stalemate. This kind of stalemate is harmless to the mysterious spirit clan, but it has become a huge burden for the court that manages the entire Anguo. The increase in military service caused complaints from the common people, coupled with the merits accumulated by Xueminggu and Jianzong's years of practicing medicine and doing good deeds...

From the very beginning, the civil and military ministers in the court clearly distinguished the main peace and the main war factions, but now they have become one-sided main peace.Even His Majesty began to change his attitude as early as ten days ago, and even changed the word "evil" that is often used when referring to the Spirit Race.Talking about peace seems to have become inevitable.

And when the main battle turned into a main peace, a new war of words began in the court, and that was how to talk about this "peace".After much deliberation, all the people think that getting married is the best way.It's just, who should "reconcile" this "pro"?Princess Yong'an who never showed her face, Princess Changping with all faces, or Princess Ping and concubine?The crown prince, concubine, and side concubine are already complete, so they are naturally out of the scope of discussion...

Just after the ten-day morning quarrel, the peace talks were decided.Three days later, on the banks of the Jingzhou River, King Ping went to the peace talks as the prince who accepted the concubine, but the prince did not know what kind of thoughts he had, and asked to lead his troops to go with him.

But hidden under this surface talk, there is another rumor circulating in the capital.It is said that this peace talks is just a pretense, it is a temptation, in His Majesty's heart, in fact, whether it is the disposal of the spirit clan, or the arrangement of the crown prince, he has already had other plans.I don't know who spread the word, saying that there is a metal box in His Majesty's bedroom, which contains the imperial decree.Some people said that the name on the imperial decree was the one who actually went to marry, while others said that the name on the imperial decree was His Majesty's imperial edict.Some people even think that there are more than one imperial edicts contained in that box...

That is to say, on such a day when the capital city was full of various rumors, Wen Yihai and Wei Zhuoer, who came to the capital together with Chaolu, packed up their packages and left without a sound.

The two rode their horses to the farewell pavilion, and found that there were already two people waiting there. They were Princess He Yi of Changping who was not allowed to come and go freely in the deep palace, and Qin Hui, the young minister of Dali Temple who should have been busy.

"You really want to leave?" Qin Hui threw a package to Wen Yihai, "Xiao Lulu gave it to you."

"Hmm." Wen Yihai took the package and opened it while preaching, "You also know that the peace talks between His Majesty are just a cover to force the prince to rebel. The real peace talks have already been held more than ten years ago that night It's over. After that, it's just a big drama we played with them."

"Although the suzerain and the others have already made arrangements for this play, we must take precautions in the capital. Brothers will go to mobilize the nearby spirit tribe troops, and I will go back to find A Niang and the Ning family army." Wei Zhuoer He continued, "After all, I don't know if it's the two of you now, even Ah Lu and Leng Tong have become inseparable from the capital. The emperor estimated that the prince will continue to talk about peace and rebel, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out. Besides, this The emperor's mind can't be trusted."

"On the contrary," He Yidao said, "this time, for the sake of the He family and my sister, the emperor's uncle has put all his bets on it, and he should not do anything else. Otherwise, he wouldn't either." Give this to Sister Lu." He pointed at the package in Wen Yihai's hand with his chin.

Wen Yihai opened the package, and inside was a golden free card. "'Seeing orders is like seeing me', yes." He read the words on the gold medal and nodded.

"The only way for the Spirit Clan and the Royal Clan to coexist peacefully without causing either of them to perish is to merge them into one." Qin Hui said, "Through the matter, this choice has become Your Majesty's best choice. Therefore, what he wants is not a 'marriage', but to make the crown prince and the spirit clan become husband and wife, and give birth to a spirit clan named He, the next generation heir to the throne. The real crown prince in His Majesty's heart cannot be the crown prince or King Ping, so..."

"That's why there is the imperial decree in the box," Wen Yihai continued, "Give marriage and pass on the throne. He Yi and Zhaohui," pointing at the two, "He Tong and Chaolu." Pointing in the direction of the imperial city, "It's nothing more than giving a marriage. You two lovers will eventually get married. But are you two really curious about who is written in the imperial edict? Others are fighting for the throne to the death, but you are lucky. The edict is in front of you." , nor go to see it."

Qin Hui and He Yi didn't answer, but looked at each other and smiled.

"You guys aren't curious, but I'm still curious. It's related to who will kneel when I meet in the future. It's about knees..." Wei Zhuoer was halfway through speaking, and suddenly read something from the expressions of the two, " Ah, could it be that Ah Lu has told you a long time ago? Discriminatory treatment is too much."

Qin Hui and He Yi looked at each other again and smiled.

"Your Highness, my lord, tell me?" Wei Zhuoer moved forward.

"No matter who it is," He Yi laughed even more happily after being teased by Wei Zhuo'er, "In the end, no matter whether you see me or sister, sister Zhuoer, you can't keep your knees. After all, the emperor Both the princess and the princess have to kneel, unless someone abolishes this rule."

"Ah, disappointing. Senior brother, we don't have the same knowledge as the royal relatives, so let's go." Wei Zhuoer waved his hand, and drove his horse away.

After the two walked away, He Yi suddenly turned his head and said, "All heroes rule together."

"Ah?" Qin Hui was taken aback.

"I said, the dream of you and Sister Lu is to be ruled by heroes. Although the road is long, and it can't even be accomplished within one or two generations, I think that no matter whether it is me or Sister Sister takes that position, we will do our best. Go all the way to the other side of this dream." He Yi said seriously.

"..." Qin Hui rubbed his nose, "So you already knew."

"Otherwise?" He Yi smiled.

"Achieving co-governance means weakening or even eliminating the imperial power, won't you be reconciled?"

"Imperial power, if you hold it for a long time, you will have a short life. You don't know it. I am lazy and cherish my life. He Kunshu is dead. From now on, we only need to deal with He Yuxi and the Yang family, the two enemies who killed their father and mother. , I am satisfied. As for He Yupeng, for the sake of these three or four years, it is not impossible to spare his life. I am very greedy, I want a lot, and at the same time I don’t want to lose anything, especially This is a home that I have come to with great difficulty. Therefore, the future that your dreams point to is what I really want."

Qin Hui looked at He Yi for a long time, and finally said: "...Yi'er, thank you."

"Ah Hui, I should thank you. Without you..." He Yi's voice was very soft, very soft.

. . .

Royal Palace.

"What is this...?" Zhao Lu was stunned at the gate of Yong'an Palace.

Because there were two neat teams of palace maids and guards standing in a row, doing some strange movements sparsely in front of the public.The movement was difficult, except for one imperial guard, all the people in the group were deformed, but compared to the awkward movements, what attracted the attention of passers-by was the red faces of the palace ladies and palace people. I don't know if it was tired or ashamed.It's no wonder that if these things are done by people in the army and people from the rivers and lakes, it's not a big deal, but if it's a court lady who always speaks coquettishly, it's really worse than being held down at the gate. To pain and shame.

Chao Lu just stood at the door and watched, watching, the more she watched these deformed movements, the more... familiar.She found that these strange movements were just coincidences, and they were exactly the tendon meat set meal that Lengtong tossed up after she ran all over Jianzong Xueming Valley after she lost all her internal strength.

"It is estimated that Her Royal Highness is teaching the servants a lesson." Nie Qian who was beside her replied, although Zhao Lu no longer needed her answer, "Since what happened, Her Royal Highness's silent temper has also become a problem. I guess I can't stand it anymore, after all, the majestic Yong'an Palace, the servants actually disregarded their master's life and death, and obeyed orders from the one in the East Palace."

The Queen and Yi'er taught Leng Tong to discipline his servants, so Leng Tong... looked at the horrible scene in front of him, the corners of Chao Lu's mouth twitched again and again.

This punishment is really very cold-eyed.Having personally experienced the horror of the tendon meat set meal, Chen Lu sent spiritual sympathy to the two rows of people.

She shrugged, and stepped into the gate of Yong'an Palace with a suppressed expression.

"Young Master Liu——" the dozens of people at the door who were too busy to even care about their own feet could call out so neatly.

Perhaps after staying by Chao Lu's side for a long time, she was infected by Chao Lu's carefree temperament. Nie Qian, who used to be cautious in her words and deeds, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhao Lu also smiled unabashedly, and walked towards the place where Leng Tong rested.

"Grassman Liulu, see..."

"Coming?" Zhao Luli was interrupted by Leng Tong impatiently before he could walk halfway.I saw her lying sideways on the couch, pulling back the curtain to reveal half of her head, her eyes gleaming.

"See Yong'an..." Zhao Lu lost her temper and wanted to fail to complete this ceremony.

"Little uncle, it's better to avoid this ceremony." Unexpectedly, Leng Tong said this.Chao Lu was so frightened that she almost bit her tongue and then fell to the ground.

Seeing Zhao Lu's deflated look, Leng Tong smiled with satisfaction.She winked at the maids around her, this time, everyone including Nie Qian obediently retreated out and closed the door.

After everyone left, Zhao Lu sat down on the princess' couch, and with a wave of her hand, sealed the entire room with an illusion barrier. "Hey, it seems that your highness princess's method of tossing people is quite effective. These spies of the prince are actually obedient?"

"It's not thanks to my little uncle who took the lead."

"..." Chao Lu wished she could kill Liu's family right now, and move "Liu Lu" on the family tree down one block.

Zhao Lu angrily took out a small box from her bosom, slapped it into Leng Tong's hand, and said angrily, "Take medicine!" like a mouth.

"This medicine," Leng Tong obediently opened the box, took out two pea-sized black pills, put it next to his nose and smelled it, and the smile on his face disappeared, "What is this medicine made of?"
