An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Ji Yue's first reaction was cold-blooded and confused.

What's the big deal?

He has been on the battlefield, killed countless people, and only protected his own people.Ji Yue really didn't care about her life or death for a princess from a foreign country and the woman who framed Wei Lian.

But daring to make trouble in Qin Palace, it is indeed tired of work.

Compared to Ji Yue's calmness, the envoys from various countries had different expressions.

Mirna was surprised: "Why did you die? This is the Qin Palace..."

Aslan said in a low voice, "Don't worry about it."

Qiao Hongfei frowned, and looked at Wei Lian worriedly, feeling that something was vaguely wrong.

Wei Yan was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that he had participated in the banquet together a few days ago, and that such a beautiful woman died just like that.He put down his glass absently, his hands trembling a little.

Yeludan showed a little surprise, but also a trace of regret.

Prince Xia raised his eyes in shock, then gently retracted his gaze, looking devastated.

I always feel that... the rain is about to come.

After this incident, no one paid any attention to the issue of Wei Lian subduing the red-maned horse.

Whether the princess of a country died in Qin Palace or was poisoned to death, all of them present are suspicious, and all of them have serious expressions on their faces.

Originally, after the state banquet was over, they stayed in Yongping for a few more days before they could set off to return home one after another.Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while.

Wei Lian calmly scanned everyone's expressions one by one, everyone showed normal reactions, and there was no suspicious person for the time being.

Huyan Kemu was the one who reacted the most: "What did you say? The princess is dead?"

"How could the princess die! It's nonsense!" Huyan Kemu couldn't accept the news of the goddess' death.Everything came too fast, too fast to be real.

The palace maid of Yan State cried and said: "It's true... The princess has been drinking medicine for a long time because of the cold... But just after drinking today's medicine, the princess vomited blood and fell down on the table. The servant girl went to sniff, the princess Already... I have swallowed my breath!"

Then she screamed and ran out in fright.He wanted to find the envoy of the Yan State, but the envoy of the Yan State was still watching Wei Lian riding the horse, so he hurried over and directly reported to the King of Qin.

Wei Lian said that Princess Chonghua contracted a cold and recuperated behind closed doors, but it was not a lie.The lake water at this time was already icy cold, and Li Chonghua had been soaked in the water for so long, and he was so frightened that it was impossible for him not to get sick.

It was true that she became seriously ill after returning home and started taking medicine.

It's just that yesterday's medicine was fine, but something went wrong when I took it today.

Huyan Kemu took a step back abruptly, turned his head and pointed the finger at Wei Lian: "Didn't you say that you are a noble lord, and that you are in charge of all matters in the harem of King Qin? Princess Chonghua had an accident right under your nose, and you have to give it to me." An explanation!"

He wasn't completely fighting for Princess Chonghua.After all, Wei Lian successfully tamed the red-maned horse and slapped Chen Guo severely in the face. Huyan Kemu's dislike for Wei Lian was mixed with some personal grudges, and he always wanted to drag him into the water.

Wei Lian's expression remained unchanged: "I'm not staring at her like Prince Huyan, so how can I be under my nose?"

He knew nothing about it.Qin Palace is so big, and he didn't open his eyes, how could he know what happened and what happened.

Huyan Kemu didn't let him go: "Then you are also to blame! Something happened in the harem, since you are in charge of the harem, you should be responsible for it!"

Wei Lian sighed softly.

I knew that Luan Yin was a hot potato, and at the critical moment, he was the one who took the blame.

He shouldn't have picked it up.

Seeing that someone was targeting Wei Lian, the maid of Yan State suddenly remembered something, and immediately got up and accused: "It's you! It must be you! Our princess offended you a few days ago, and it wasn't enough for you to drown her in the water, and you wanted to poison her to death." She!"

Her eyes showed resentment: "Why are you so vicious!"

She and Princess Chonghua grew up together, not to mention they were sisters, at least they were loyal.That day the princess went back to Ningyue Tower with her body drenched, and cried a lot when she came back, cursing endlessly.She knew why Princess Chonghua framed Wei Lian, and what Wei Lian did to Princess Chonghua.

People are always defensive and selfish, and at the same time bullying.She didn't dare to hate the aloof King Qin, so she could only hate Wei Lian. For the past two days, the princess was sick and bedridden, and she also helped Princess Chonghua to curse Wei Lian to die early and not to be reborn.

Unexpectedly, Wei Lian didn't die, the princess died first.

It was a bolt from the blue.

The princess died, and those who waited around them must also die when they go back.Since it is a death anyway, the princess has to seek justice!

Huyan Kemu's eyes widened: "What did you say? What's submerged in the water? How dare he treat the princess like this?"

"Why doesn't he dare? He is protected by His Majesty the King of Qin!" The palace maid of Yan State became more and more indiscriminate, "He is afraid that our princess will win the favor, and he will become murderous. Such a vicious person, you will be punished! I curse you not to be-uh!"

Before the word "death" was uttered, the maid's eyes widened in disbelief.

An arrow pierced through her heart and protruded from her back, showing the ruthlessness of the arrow.

The bright red bloodstains gradually smeared from her chest.

The palace lady covered the arrow with trembling fingers, breathed hard, and fell to the ground suddenly, dying with regret.

Everyone was stunned by this accident.

Wei Lian's eyes moved slightly.

Ji Yue withdrew his bow expressionlessly, as if he wasn't the one who killed a person with an arrow just now.

He could not tolerate others to slander Wei Lian.

I can't even listen to other people's curses to death.

Ji Yue walked up to Wei Lian, and asked him softly, "Aren't you scared?"

Wei Lian lowered his head and patted his chest lightly: "I scared the minister to death."

Ji Yue comforted: "It's okay, I killed him alone."

Everyone: "..."

Good hardcore comfort.

Huyan Kemu clenched his fists: "His Majesty the King of Qin is killing people in public to silence the criminals?"

"Hasn't the sinner been killed alone?" Ji Yue didn't even look at the corpse, his eyes were full of disgust.

"She clearly knows the inside story!" Huyan Kemu was aggressive, "What did she say about the princess being drowned?"

"How can a court lady win people's trust with her slanderous words? Such a person who has ulterior motives and framed your lord will deserve more than a thousand cuts to death. An arrow piercing her heart will make her feel lonely." Ji Yue said coldly, "Prince Huyan doesn't believe it. Gu, on the contrary, you believe in the one-sided words of a court lady, is this the loyalty of Chen Guo to Qin?"

Someone from the envoys of the Chen State quickly suppressed Huyan Kemu, reminding him not to offend King Qin.

They are not here to be guests.

They are here to pay tribute.

To put it bluntly, it is only a subordinate country, and it is not qualified to challenge King Qin.They, Chen Guo, had a grudge against Qin, and they only provoked one or two at first, but if the King of Qin made a real move, they would all be overwhelmed and walk away.

People are still in other people's territory, so there is no room for them to run wild.

After all, Huyan Kemu hadn't lost his mind, even if he had great resentment, he could only endure it indignantly.

The person who should be held accountable for this matter should be the envoy of Yan State.

But how could the envoys of the Yan State dare to ask.Now he was so frightened that he lost his mind and lost his ability to think.

Originally, the princess was the biggest bargaining chip in the Yan Kingdom, but King Qin was not interested at all, and the princess was gone. When he returned, let alone the black hat, he didn't know if he would be able to keep his head.

The Yan State envoy's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted on the spot.

"It's useless to talk too much, the most important thing is to find out the murderer now." Wei Lian said.

Huyan Kemu wanted to say, "Isn't you the murderer? Why are you yelling for a thief?" But the envoy shook his hand lightly before holding back.

"Since Princess Chonghua is poisoned, let's check the bowl of medicine." Wei Lian remained calm from beginning to end, and deliberately glanced at Huyan Kemu, "Go to the scene first. If you are worried, come with me .”

Hu Yanke Mu originally suspected that the murderer was Wei Lian, fearing that the Qin State would cover him up, so of course he followed to find out.Melna didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so she took Aslan with her.

Qiao Hongfei was worried about Wei Lian, so naturally he would not stay out of it, but Wei Yan was afraid of seeing the corpse, so he decided to hide in the house by himself.Seeing that most of the people were going, Yeludan also followed.

Only Prince Xia didn't seem to want to take this muddy water, so he pleaded guilty and went back to the sinking dock.

Ningyue Building.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Wei Lian saw Li Chonghua lying on the table with his eyes closed and a bloodstain dripping from the corner of his mouth.

There is a medicine bowl that has been drunk on the table, and there are still some residues in the bowl.

Imperial Physician Wang and Imperial Physician Xu have already been sent to wait for orders.Doctor Wang picked up the medicine bowl and lightly sniffed the medicine residue left in the bowl.Doctor Xu stepped forward, first felt the pulse of Princess Chonghua, then rolled his eyelids, tested his breath, and gradually became serious: "Princess Chonghua was indeed poisoned and died."

Huyan Kemu almost wanted to roll his eyes.

Is not this nonsensical?Obviously, the accident happened after drinking this bowl of medicine...

Physician Wang put down the bowl again at this time, cupped his hands to Ji Yue and said, "Your Majesty, this bowl of medicine is non-toxic."

Huyan Kemu immediately yelled: "What kind of quack are you? The court lady has already said that Princess Chonghua will be poisoned as soon as she drinks this bowl of medicine, and you are still farting here!"

Yeludan didn't speak, but his eyes also revealed the meaning that "the king of Qin is covering up too much".

Physician Wang showed displeasure.He has worked in the Imperial Hospital for decades and is also a highly respected senior. He was suddenly scolded as a quack doctor by a vulgar and barbaric young man from a foreign country, and no one could swallow it.

"I've been practicing medicine for 30 years, and I've never made a mistake, let alone cheating." Imperial Physician Wang said in a bad tone, "Prince Huyan speak carefully."

"Then tell me, what kind of poison does she have?" Huyan Kemu asked urgently.

Doctor Xu checked for a long time, then frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I can only confirm that Princess Chonghua died of poison, and it did not exceed half an hour, but... I can't be sure what kind of poison Princess Chonghua was poisoned by."

Huyan Kemu wanted to scold quack doctors again, but Melna frowned and said, "Stop arguing."

Aslan was startled, and just about to stop him, Melna had already stepped forward.

She picked up the medicine bowl, checked it, and quickly put it down again: "It is indeed non-toxic."

There is no separation between medicine and poison.She is skilled in poison, and her medical skills are not bad.

Maierna stepped forward, grabbed Li Chonghua's wrist, checked the pulse, and suddenly became puzzled.

"Strange..." she murmured, "How could it be..."

She suddenly stopped talking.

The envoy of Yan State asked: "How could it be what?"

Myrna: "..."

The envoy of Yan State anxiously said: "Say it!"

Melna hesitated and said, "...it's Chi Yan."

She never thought that this matter would have something to do with Liang Guo, and she was extremely confident in poison techniques, seeing a poison that even the imperial physicians of Qin State could not detect, so she wanted to try it, so that people would know how powerful she was.

But how could it be Liang Guo's unique poison...

It's over, it's over, this will bring Liang Guo into trouble.

Imperial Physician Wang had never heard of the poison "Chi Yan", so he couldn't help asking: "What is Chi Yan?"

Before Melna answered, Wei Lian already had the answer in her heart.

Chi Yan, one of the hundred poisons in southern Xinjiang, is as poisonous as its name.

See you sooner or later.
