"Your Highness, please wake up."
"If you don't wake up, the Chanyu's team will leave the Helian tribe and continue to head to other tribes..."
In the bedroom of Princess Changning in Shenghua Palace, Xianglian knelt in front of the bed and muttered, "Please open your eyes and get well soon. Otherwise, the Chanyu will leave you here alone. What will you do in the future?"
"I heard that many people died at the Jingyang Palace dinner that day. The murderer has not been found yet, and we don't know where those poisonous scorpions came from. It is too dangerous to leave you here."
"Why……"
The palace maid who delivered the medicine left earlier, leaving a crack in the door, and sighs floated out through the crack.
A figure hidden in the darkness flashed past the house.
A moment later, in the main hall of Shenghua Palace, the Chanyu's personal guard knelt on one knee and reported everything he had heard in Princess Changning's bedroom.
At this point, the last bit of doubt remaining in Chanyu's heart was dispelled.
"Pass the order down, assemble and set out at 1:00 pm."
…
As it was a turbulent time, the Chanyu left in a very low-key manner. Only King Helian and Princess Helian personally brought a small group of people to escort them to the city gate.
The two thousand personal soldiers stationed outside the city gate are ready to go.
As he watched this mighty team finally disappear from his sight, King Helian, who had been trying to keep himself awake for the past few days, was finally exhausted and could not help but fall down.
The doctor felt his pulse and said that he was thinking too much and was exhausted.
How could King Helian not be exhausted?
Such a big incident happened at this important juncture when the Chanyu was on patrol, but there is still no clue of the murderer.
Although the Chanyu has left, this matter will not end so easily. If no useful clues can be found and no reasonable explanation can be given, the Helian tribe will probably be remembered by the Chanyu.
Also, his eldest son who died unexpectedly in this incident...
When he thought of it, King Helian felt a splitting headache. He rubbed his temple and ordered, "Ask the eldest princess to pay attention to Hu Yun's funeral. Although he died in an ignominious way, he was my eldest son, and he must be treated with the proper respect."
After explaining the affairs of the eldest prince, King Helian suddenly remembered that he had not seen the second prince for the past two days. "Where is Hu Lin? Has his injury healed? What has he been doing these two days?"
If his injuries have healed, he can hand over some of the things on hand to Hu Lin, such as investigating the incident.
After all, he only has Hu Lin as his only child now, and it is not easy for him to have another child at his age. Sooner or later, the Helian tribe will be handed over to Hu Lin, so it is time for him to gain experience.
Just as King Helian was thinking this, he saw the palace attendant in front of him looking embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and reported: "Your Majesty, the bruise on the second prince's neck disappeared yesterday, and it has not appeared since then. However..."
"But what?" King Helian frowned and asked.
"However... the second prince learned of the death of Miss Wei in his room and locked himself in the room without eating or drinking for a whole day."
"What?" King Helian slammed the table, feeling both angry and distressed.
What made him angry was that he, the son of a tribal leader, was actually a useless lover. But what was regrettable was that he was a lover, but he actually hurt his own body.
Doesn’t he know that our body and hair are given by our parents?
"Someone, break down the second prince's door for me and bring him here." King Helian ordered in a cold voice.
The two guards received the order and left in a hurry.
Not long after, he came back with an empty-handed report.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is not in the palace."
"Where has this kid gone again?" King Helian asked in a bad tone, but there was worry in his eyes.
Now he is afraid of the words "can't find anyone".
I was afraid that my younger son would follow in the footsteps of my eldest son.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Not long after, a maidservant beside Princess Helian came over and reported: "Your Majesty, the second prince arrived at the ruins of the burned Sile Garden early this morning. He sat there with a wooden fish and knocked for half a day. He was unwilling to move."
"No matter how the princess persuades me, it's useless. Please go over and help persuade me!"
…
Just as the Helian tribe’s palace was in chaos.
Inside the only temple in the royal court of the Helian tribe, Wei Yunlan and Bai Mingwei were sitting by the window reading the scriptures in the room.
The midday sun poured in, and Fourth Miss Bai tiptoed over with a water bag and two sticks of meat in them.
"Big sister, Sister Wei, these sesame cakes are still hot, please eat them quickly."
Wei Yunlan and Bai Mingwei put down the scriptures at the same time and expressed their gratitude.
The two sat facing each other by the window, eating in silence. Wei Yunlan suddenly asked softly, "Ms. Bai, have you thought about your future?"
Bai Mingwei, holding the sesame cake in her hand, paused after hearing this and said in a low voice, "Of course, I will return to Dayong with everyone."
"Then... the Second Prince Helian?" Wei Yunlan asked.
Bai Mingwei lowered her eyes, looked at her toes, and answered as calmly as possible: "I am from Dayong, and he is a barbarian. There is a blood feud between the two countries, so we are not the same kind of people."
"Besides, Miss Wei knows everything about my family. I have my mother and grandmother at home. I have to go back to fulfill my filial duties. I can't stay in Beiman."
Even though she was very clear about her decision, Bai Mingwei couldn't help feeling sad when she actually said these words out loud.
Only she herself knows what kind of ups and downs are hidden under her seemingly calm tone.
This was not her first time to get married. She had already been married and became a mother in Dayong. Her daughter Tongtong was almost four years old now.
But her first husband was always having affairs with other women, and they only maintained a superficial respect for each other. Her in-laws were not very kind to her because she gave birth to a daughter as her first child. Later, when something happened in her parents' home, they gave her a divorce letter and drove her out directly. They were extremely heartless and disloyal.
Compared with the first husband, the second prince is not good at literature and does not understand elegance, but he possesses a rare sincere heart.
She could often feel the Second Prince's cautious and slightly clumsy care.
It would be a lie to say that I don't care at all.
But she couldn't care, let alone linger on this affection...
"The Northern Barbarian Chanyu led his troops away." Zou Yun sneaked back into the house from outside, walked to Wei Yunlan, and broke the silence between the two.
Then he said, "There is another piece of news that just came out from the palace."
"It is said that the Second Prince Helian has suddenly become fascinated with Buddhism and intends to become a monk. He wants to come to the temple to chant sutras and pray for his deceased lover. Princess Helian is leading people to stop him at the palace gate!"
