Chapter 340: Shall we die together?
If this old man doesn’t report him to the emperor tomorrow, then something strange will happen!
Moreover, swords and knives are merciless in a fight. What if both sides lose control of themselves and injure Minister Qin's arms and legs? How will they explain this to King Wuling and the Queen?
"withdraw!"
When General Gu gave this order, his heart was bleeding. He really wanted to hit Minister Qin on the head with a stick and ask, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Do you know that although this plan was proposed by him and Academician Qi, it was your daughter and son-in-law who made it all possible?
If it weren't for the help from Prince Wuling and his wife, they would still be running around like headless flies, watching the Crown Prince being arrogant and complacent, and Prince Duan being at a loss in the clan house!
Such a good opportunity was wasted because of this stinky old man!
After General Gu and his men retreated, Minister Qin, who had fought desperately to protect Prince Ning, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The group decided not to sleep tonight and rode their horses at full speed to send Prince Ning to the palace overnight.
To avoid any unnecessary troubles.
When Qin Yuelin heard the report from the Qin family guards, he was so scared that his heart was in his throat. Jin Feiang also took it very seriously and personally led a team to come and help Qin Yuelin.
By the time they arrived, General Gu and his men had already disappeared.
Looking at this neatly-organized team, Qin Yuelin and Jin Feiang looked at each other in bewilderment. Seeing the nervous look of the guards who came to ask for reinforcements, they thought that the battle here was stalemate and there were heavy casualties.
But they were only slightly injured, with at most a bruised face and nose, and very few even bled.
"It seems that those people's purpose is just to steal Prince Ning's coffin, and they don't want to hurt anyone or cause trouble. However, if they were really sent by the people who murdered His Highness Prince Ning, shouldn't they do their utmost to destroy the evidence and fight to the death?"
Qin Yuelin's reasonable speculation was met with a slap on the forehead from his father. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're not satisfied that His Royal Highness Prince Ning wasn't hurt, are you?"
After all, Qin Yuelin was nominally the supreme commander of the Yanling Army. Now he was slapped in the face in front of many subordinates. Qin Yuelin's self-esteem was really hurt. What's more, his speculation was not wrong!
"Dad, can you calm down a little?"
Minister Qin, "No! I don't care what their intentions are. Just because they didn't kill anyone doesn't mean they deserve forgiveness!"
"The Emperor's decision to bring Prince Ning back to investigate the truth is truly a wise one. No matter who is behind this, once they are found out, they will all be sentenced to death. No room for negotiation!"
"Yes, yes, Dad, you are right. Let's go!"
Qin Yuelin really didn't want to argue with his father in front of so many people, not to mention that what his father said made sense.
Those people dared to come and snatch the corpse of His Royal Highness Prince Ning, which was already an unforgivable crime. As for why they didn't kill people, it doesn't matter. There is no point in figuring it out.
The most important thing now is to absolutely not allow any more trouble to happen, so after their team escorted Prince Ning to the city gate and watched them enter the city safely, they returned to the Yanling military camp.
The Nine-Gate Admiral who was in charge of defending the city secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when he saw this huge team.
Jin Feiang had come in person, was he mistaken?! Luckily, General Gu acted decisively and ran away quickly, otherwise this would have been a huge loss!
That’s right, in their eyes, Qin Yuelin was not the biggest threat, but Jin Feiang was, because he was the true commander of the Yanling Army and the second in command besides Dugu Yu.
Unlike Qin Yuelin, who had a title of general unknown to outsiders, but even he felt uneasy in his heart.
Minister Qin personally escorted His Royal Highness Prince Ning to the palace gate. He watched the Imperial Guards take him in, then turned around and went home reluctantly with red eyes.
This night was so thrilling for him, a civil official who had never fought in his life, that his old body could hardly bear it.
At the same time, Dugu Yu from Wuling Palace was also about to be overwhelmed.
Compared with Minister Qin, he was even more exhausted and wanted to pick up a knife and kill someone at any moment.
On the second day after Qin Qingyao 'fell in love' with Murong Ce, her clinginess to him reached a new level than on the first day. This was because the evil puppet powder had a stronger control over the poisoned person the longer it lasted.
Dugu Yu knew it very well, but he just couldn't control himself!
Qin Qingyao did two things that day: she liked Murong Ce and she hated Dugu Yu.
Out of ten sentences, eight were arguments with Dugu Yu, and the remaining two were attempts to please Murong Ce with a smile.
Dugu Yu wanted to press her acupoints countless times to make her fall asleep and lose consciousness, so as to avoid her pissing him off to death.
But he knew that if he did that, Qin Qingyao would be in great pain and she wouldn't be able to bear it.
So, the three of them could only waste time like this, and all three of them became more and more angry.
Qin Qingyao was unhappy that Dugu Yu always came to cause trouble between her and Murong Ce.
Dugu Yu was dissatisfied with Murong Ce who always took the opportunity to take advantage of Qin Qingyao. He knew that she was just controlled by the poison and did not really love him, but he still took the opportunity to talk nonsense and indulge in enjoyment, and even had an increasing tendency to touch her. Did he think he was dead?
As for Murong Ce, he also had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart. He liked talking to Qin Qingyao, but if she said a few words to him, he would go and argue with Dugu Yu for eight sentences.
He liked the focused and adoring look in Qin Qingyao's eyes when she looked at him, as if there was nothing else in the world that she could notice except him.
However, most of the time during the day, she used her beautiful eyes to stare at Dugu Yu.
Although she kept saying that Dugu Yu was annoying, she still paid much more attention to him than him.
…
In Prince Wu Ling's mansion, they were not the only three who were suffering so much that every second felt like an eternity.
Every servant here is now trembling with fear as if walking on thin ice.
They were afraid that the prince would really get hurt out of anger. If he hurt the princess, wouldn't he regret it to death afterwards?
They were also afraid that the princess would lose control of herself, that she wouldn't be able to distinguish between the instructions she was given after being poisoned and reality, and that she would have had something going on with the military advisor. Then, when she regained consciousness...
They were also afraid of the military advisor. In fact, this was what they feared the most, because in these two short days, Murong Ce's actions, even the way he looked at the princess and the prince, had really given everyone in the palace a very bad premonition.
The look he gave the princess was filled with deep admiration, just as if the prince and princess had looked at each other under normal circumstances.
But when he looked at the prince, he seemed to want to kill him and cut him into pieces!
It's like... the prince is really trying to steal his wife away, but the princess was clearly married to our prince in a grand ceremony! You are the third party!
Including Zhao Jinghan and the old housekeeper, everyone in Prince Wuling's mansion sighed and groaned every day, with their brows furrowed.
Could it be that the military advisor is truly in love with the princess? His confrontation with the prince doesn't seem like he's simply trying to help out his brother or friend!
What's more, the prince never asked him to help coax the princess. The prince only forbade the princess to leave the house, but didn't say that he couldn't leave the house? He just refused to leave on his own!
Isn't his intention obvious? He clearly loves the princess's dependence on him and her constant claim that she loves him the most!
No matter who poisoned the princess, that person was too insidious and evil.
If this goes on, even if the princess finally holds on and doesn't hurt the prince, the prince will most likely break up with the military advisor. If he wasn't afraid that the princess couldn't bear it, his prince would have already smashed Military Advisor Murong's head.
Their prince has a large group of loyal followers and subordinates who are willing to go through fire and water for him, but there are really few people in this world who truly understand him and can be his friends.
I just hope that the military advisor doesn't fall into the trap and doesn't get confused by the illusion. It's only five days. Once the effect of the medicine wears off in five days, this dream will be over!
By the next night, exhausted, Dugu Yu wanted to faint. Had only two days passed? Why did he feel more exhausted than after two years of fighting?
But he couldn't faint now, because he had to solve the problem of where Qin Qingyao would sleep at night first.
"Dugu Yu, you stinky scoundrel, I will never let you manipulate me again, and I will never let you trick me into bed again, don't even think about succeeding!"
Dugu Yu was so angry that he was shaking. He hated using Murong Ce's life to threaten Qin Qingyao the most, because this meant that he had admitted in his heart that to Qin Qingyao, Murong Ce was more important than him.
But in the past two days, apart from this trick, he really didn't know how to "communicate" with Qin Qingyao, so even though his heart was bleeding, he had to say this.
"You won't be manipulated by me anymore? So you'd rather watch Murong Ce die, right?"
Qin Qingyao was so angry that she almost fell backwards, but he had used the same trick countless times in two days. Qin Qingyao had really had enough!
"Your Majesty, what else can you do besides threatening other people's lives? I'm telling you, I won't fall for your tricks again. If you want to kill someone, kill me too! A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. I would rather die than surrender!"
After she finished speaking, she took Murong Ce's hand, then raised her head, her eyes burning with eager anticipation, "Shall we die together?"
Murong Ce looked at that extremely serious face. Every word Qin Qingyao said at this moment was sincere, so his answer was also firm, "Okay."
Dugu Yu roared immediately afterwards, "No! No! No!"
He was really about to collapse. A violent thought suddenly came to his mind. He would rather strangle Qin Qingyao's neck and then stab himself to death for her than let her die with Murong Ce. He would never even think about it!
"Qin Qingyao, you are my wife. Even if you have to die, you can only die with me. No one else has the right!"
