The sudden embrace softened Wei Ting's heart.
You came at a really bad time.
He frowned and looked at the closed door with dissatisfaction.
"Master..."
"knew."
Wei Ting responded in a low voice, and the guards outside the door said no more.
He didn't wake up Su Xiaoxiao and the three kids. He put on his clothes and opened the door. "What happened?"
The guard reported: "Helian Ye was killed this morning."
Wei Ting was a little surprised: "Dead?"
The guard said, "They are trying to save him, but the doctor said... he can't be saved."
Wei Ting glanced at him and said, "That's not the expression you give when you announce good news."
The guard had a complicated expression: "Young Master, go and take a look and you will know."
Wei Liulang also heard the noise and went to the courtyard of the Northern Yan envoy with Wei Ting.
Each country brought its own doctors, and they all came to be examined by Helian Ye, but no one dared to say a word.
The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty had a cold expression on her face.
Helian Ye is dead, why is she so angry? Wei Ting met the eyes of the princess of the Western Jin Dynasty without knowing why.
"Come with me."
Her eyes hinted.
Wei Ting left Helian Ye's yard, and Wei Liulang stood guard for the two of them nearby.
The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty said straight to the point: "Moye was captured."
Wei Ting asked, "Was it Mo Xie who killed him?"
"You think so too, don't you?" The Western Jin princess looked very solemn. "Yesterday at the hunting ground, Xin'er, the Protector of the Country, and the Grand Empress Dowager and I were attacked by a pack of wolves. Those wolves were not right, but I didn't take it too seriously. After all, they might have come for the Protector of the Country or the Grand Empress Dowager. But this morning, something happened to Moye."
After hearing this, Wei Ting understood that someone was framing the princess of the Western Jin Dynasty.
The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty said: "My people killed Helian Ye, and the possibility of my alliance with Northern Yan is completely gone. More importantly, I will be punished by my father when I return, and I will lose the qualification to compete for the crown prince."
Wei Ting said with a hint of meaning: "Yes——"
The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty said coldly, "That's right, it was done by my good brother. Princess Changle of Northern Yan married him as his concubine, and they teamed up to set a trap for me."
Wei Ting did not add insult to injury, nor did he take advantage of the situation. He was well aware of the strength of the princess of the Western Jin Dynasty. A dragon stranded on the beach is still a dragon after all.
"Of course, you can also refuse." said the princess of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Wei Ting said: "No, my intention to form an alliance with Your Highness has never changed."
Rather than providing timely assistance or adding icing on the cake, the former will naturally bring greater rewards.
…
Su Xiaoxiao was awakened by Wei Ting.
"Who did you say to save?" she asked stupidly, suspecting that she had fallen into a deep sleep and must have heard wrongly.
Wei Ting sighed: "Helian Ye."
Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Why save him?"
Wei Ting thought to himself, I don’t want to save him either, but for the sake of the overall situation, this guy must be saved: “He was killed… He is not dead yet, with only his last breath. Someone saw Moye coming out of his room with a sword in hand, and insisted that Moye was the murderer. They also said that Moye was the one who hurt him in the forest.”
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Mo Xie came out a long time ago."
Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "What did Mo Xie say? Why did he go to Helian Ye's room?"
Wei Ting said: "He sensed a strange presence passing by and followed it."
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly: "Passing by?"
Wei Ting described the topography of the palace: "The murderer may have sneaked in from the south. To get to the residence of the Northern Yan envoy, he had to pass through the bedroom of the Western Jin envoy. Moye also fought with the other party, but then Moye didn't know what happened, and his mind suddenly went blank. When he regained consciousness, Helian Ye had been killed, and he was holding the murder weapon in his hand. It was not his sword, his sword disappeared without a trace."
Su Xiaoxiao analyzed: "The murderer took his sword and used his own weapon to kill Helian Ye and put the blame on Moye. But the murderer didn't expect that Helian Ye was lucky enough to survive."
Wei Ting felt that it was almost certain.
Helian Ye was really lucky. He survived being stabbed by Gui Bu and was stabbed again by the murderer, but he still survived.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed secretly, and then asked Wei Ting: "Do you really think that it was done by the eldest prince of Western Jin and another branch of Northern Yan?"
Wei Ting stared and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure, but the princess of the Western Jin Dynasty will be implicated. There is no doubt that Moye will also be held accountable."
"What bad luck has Mo Xie gotten into..."
Su Xiaoxiao had a good impression of Moye, who played the erhu well, and she didn't want to lose this musical friend.
Thinking of something, she continued, "By the way, I met Zhang Feng in the woods yesterday. He is the Grand Princess's man, and has been lurking beside Mo Guiyuan all these years, waiting for an opportunity to retrieve the late emperor's will. He succeeded on the day Mo Guiyuan fled. But he seemed to be worried about being silenced by the Grand Princess, so he found Zhao Kangning to make a deal. Unfortunately, he was still killed by the Grand Princess's men."
Wei Ting paused and said, "You mean, the Grand Princess's men sneaked into the forest? Then the people who came to kill Helian Ye last night might also be that group of people."
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "I guess so. I just can't understand why the Grand Princess wanted to kill Helian Ye to silence him. Isn't Helian Ye her biological son? Even if he is a fake son, he still has value to be used."
Even if we take a step back and say that she knew that Helian Ye knew her life experience, then she could continue to make up stories and continue to brainwash Helian Ye. After all, Helian Ye was just a stupid and innocent person.
etc.
Edit...brainwash...
The person who came last night... Could it be Master Huijue?! Has she finally shown up? Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised at all that she returned to Beijing quietly.
If she came in person, something must have happened between her and Helian Ye, forcing her to kill Helian Ye to silence him.
It seems that the only way to uncover the truth is to wake Helian Ye up first.
Wei Ting handed the medicine box to Su Xiaoxiao: "Here it is."
In the corridor, Zhao Kangning saw Su Xiaoxiao who was brought here by Eunuch Fu.
She asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
Eunuch Fu said politely, "Princess Kangning, Doctor Su is here to treat General Helian's injuries."
Zhao Kangning's eyes were red and swollen, and he said sarcastically: "Even the imperial physician can't cure it, and you let a little girl come here. Do you want to kill my uncle?"
Su Xiaoxiao hit the nail on the head and said, "Does he still need to harm me?"
Zhao Kangning choked.
The imperial doctors had already declared that the rescue was ineffective and asked the Northern Yan prince and Zhao Kangning to prepare for his death...
Su Xiaoxiao was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Kangning and went into Helian Ye's room carrying the medicine box.
Zhao Kangning reacted and took a step forward: "Give it to me--"
Bang! The door closed tightly in front of her and the bolt was inserted.
"Qin! I don't care who you are! If you dare to kill my uncle, I will kill you even if I don't want to be a princess anymore!"
Su Xiaoxiao ignored Zhao Kangning's shouting. She came to the bed, took out the first aid kit from the medicine box, and began to treat Helian Ye's injuries.
It's been a while since I asked for monthly tickets, so today I'm shamelessly asking for one. For the sake of the three updates, please give me some monthly tickets! (End of this chapter)
