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

Chu Heyi's voice was hoarse and tears were streaming down his face.

Xie Lin's hand stopped in mid-air. The hand was slender and pale, just like his bloodless face.

"You don't believe me. We are husband and wife. We agreed to trust each other for the rest of our lives and hold each other's hands for the rest of our lives. Don't you believe me?" Xie Lin's voice was high and low, and it was broken.

Chu Heyi screamed: "The facts are in front of me, how can you ask me to believe you?"

Her tears fell down, and she looked at Xie Lin with eyes full of pain and reluctance. Finally, she took a deep breath and wiped the tears from her face: "Xie Lin, maybe we should separate for a while, so that we can calm down."

"I don't agree to separate!" Xie Lin was weak, but firm, and his eyes showed his determination to keep her even at the cost of everything.

Chu Heyi said: “Maybe you were really framed, but now all the evidence points to you, I can’t find any flaws, and I can’t believe you at this time.

"I said that as long as you don't have other concubines and don't ignore me, I will always stay by your side. But you broke my promise, you destroyed my trust in you, and you destroyed our relationship. I can't stay by your side any longer!

“I’m leaving!!”

Chu Heyi spoke the last three words calmly and resolutely, and the tears on her face were suddenly wiped away at this moment.

She turned around to walk out, but Xie Lin rushed over and hugged her from behind, holding her tightly.

"I won't agree!" Xie Lin used all his strength in his arms, his face extremely pale, "If you want to leave, you have to step over my dead body."

Chu Heyi's tears, which had just stopped, suddenly burst out again, and the teardrops as big as beans fell on Xie Lin's hands.

Xie Lin just felt it was extremely hot and scorching, and his heart trembled.

Suddenly, there was a sharp "clang" sound. It was the sound of a dagger being unsheathed. Chu Heyi held the sharp dagger in his hand and pressed it against his throat.

Although Xie Lin did not see clearly how she unsheathed the dagger, nor did he see how she put the sharp dagger to her throat, he felt it and imagined it.

She would rather die than leave him!

Xie Lin slowly loosened his arms, and Chu Heyi slowly turned around and faced him.

In an instant, everything was silent and the world was quiet.

The couple looked at each other for a long time.

The tip of the dagger cut her skin, and bits of blood came out, making her neck look even whiter.

She had to leave, and Xie Lin knew he couldn't keep her.

His hands slowly dropped down, his eyes were filled with despair, he moved his lips for a long while before saying, "Go, it's dangerous out there, take care."

After a pause, he continued, "I'll be waiting for you in the palace. When you figure it out, come back to find me. But you must, must remember that I'm always waiting for you, regardless of life or death."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Lin turned around abruptly, leaving only his back to Chu Heyi. She didn't notice that Xie Lin's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell the moment he turned around.

Chu Heyi put the dagger back into the scabbard, wiped away his tears resolutely, turned around and left without saying a word.

When she left the palace, she only took Baihua with her. Everyone else, such as Nanny Rui, Xianyue, etc., all stayed behind.

After she turned and left, the tenderness on Xie Lin's face completely disappeared, leaving only endless coldness.

"Wangshan, send someone to escort Concubine Zhen and the Eighth Prince back to Funing Palace. Without my permission, they are not allowed to step out of Funing Palace."

The Eighth Prince had already come to Concubine Zhen's side at this time, and hugged his mother tightly with the cloak given by Concubine Ning. Concubine Zhen hugged her son and cried out.

Xie Lin stared at her with a sharp gaze, "If the Crown Princess never comes back in this life, then Empress Zhen will die of old age in Funing Palace."

Concubine Zhen hugged her son tighter and just cried without saying a word.

Xie Lin walked away.

Before long, everyone in the palace knew that the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had broken up. As for the specific reason for the breakup, people outside were still unaware.

All we know is that all the people involved in this matter, including Concubine Ning from Changning Palace, were confined to their own bedrooms and completely lost their freedom.

A few days later, someone spread the news in the palace that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an affair with the Emperor's Concubine Zhen, and the Crown Princess discovered it. The Crown Princess could not accept such a blow, so she broke with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and left the palace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not bear the discovery of his affair, but he was reluctant to let the Crown Princess leave and was also worried about losing the support of the Zhenbei Marquisate. He suddenly fell ill and lay on the couch for several days, unable to get up. He relied entirely on the imperial physician to maintain his life with medicine and ginseng soup, and he could not even take care of the affairs of the court.

"No wonder Lady Ning was also under house arrest. It turns out that the Crown Prince was furious and harmed innocent people!"

"I heard that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the Prime Minister, he blocked two arrows for the Crown Princess and almost lost his life. But how long have they been married, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an affair with someone else, and this person is the Emperor's concubine! It's normal that the Crown Princess can't bear it!"

"But as the crown prince, you will have to have many women around you in the future. You can't leave all the harems empty for the Crown Princess, right? I think it's understandable that the Crown Princess is angry, but it's not to the point of breaking up with the crown prince and leaving the palace."

There are all kinds of rumors in the palace.

Although Chu Heyi has left the palace, Xie Lin is always worried about her, so he asks Xue Jinfei to dispatch a group of people to secretly protect Chu Heyi and find out her whereabouts.

But no one expected that the guards would soon bring back news about Chu Heyi, saying, "Not long after the Crown Princess left, she was chased and killed. She was chased to the edge of a cliff in the middle of the night yesterday and fell off the cliff. Her life or death is unknown."

Xie Lin fell seriously ill, and more people were sent to look for her, demanding to see her alive or dead.

A layer of haze covered the sky above the imperial city, and the air was grim and solemn.

It was in such an atmosphere that Nanny Rui walked into Qianqiu Hall of the Eastern Palace to meet Xie Lin.

Xie Lin sat against the head of the bed, looking at Nanny Rui kneeling on the ground beside his bed.

Rui Ma Ma had a kind face and said, "Before that incident happened, the Crown Princess prepared a birthday gift for His Royal Highness in advance, thinking that His Royal Highness' birthday was coming up, and said that it would be a surprise for His Royal Highness.

"Now that the Crown Princess is not here, let this old servant hand over the birthday gift that the Crown Princess prepared to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now that things have already happened, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will cheer up."

Xie Lin took the nanmu box and said softly, "Thank you for your comfort, Madam."

"Your Highness, please rest early. I will not disturb you any more." After delivering the gifts, Nanny Rui stood up and left Qianqiu Palace.

Xie Lin opened the nanmu box and looked at the contents again and again, sitting there all night until dawn.
