Chapter 327 The Ninth Prince is Arrested
Qin Kun turned around and looked at her, with hesitation on his face.
He really couldn't bear to part with Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui loves him and is loyal to him.
Moreover, Qiu Shui was very useful and had helped him do a lot of things over the years.
But right now, his life is more important, and taking Qiu Shui with him will definitely delay time.
If he was caught, Qin Jingyu would have a lot of bad intentions and might torture him into confessing.
He must not be caught.
And Qiu Shui also knew too many of his secrets...
A trace of pain flashed across Qin Kun's face.
Finally, he threw a dagger to Qiu Shui.
The dagger jumped twice on the ground and fell in front of Qiu Shui.
Qin Kun looked sad and depressed:
"Qiu Shui, if my heart had not been given to A Yue."
"You have followed me for so many years, I will definitely give you a status."
"But don't worry, when you go there, I will succeed and sit on the throne. In addition to conferring the title of Queen on A Yue, I will also confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on you."
"Your position in my heart is second only to A Yue."
Qiu Shui raised his head, "Your Majesty, do you want me to commit suicide?"
Qin Kun frowned, worried that the pursuers would catch up.
But Qiu Shui had been with him for too long and had done too many things for him.
He was willing to give her more patience.
Otherwise, other people will see it and feel disheartened.
Qin Kun suddenly reached out, touched the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sighed.
"Qiu Shui, I don't want to abandon you either, but right now, I can't be caught, you know?"
Qiu Shui reached out and picked up the dagger. She suddenly asked quietly:
"Back then, you also thought that the Ninth Princess had betrayed you, and you wanted to kill her like this, right?"
Qin Kun's face suddenly turned cold, "Qiu Shui, why did you mention A Yue?"
Qiu Shui smiled faintly and shook her head. She held the dagger and pointed it at herself.
"Your Highness, the thing I regret most in my life is that you saved me back then."
"My father and brothers committed a crime and their entire family was beheaded. I should have gone with my family."
"I hope we won't meet again in the next life."
puff.
Qiu Shui thrust the sharp blade into his own heart.
Qin Kun frowned slightly.
The secret guard next to him said, "Master, run quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave now!"
Qin Kun nodded silently. He watched Qiu Shui's mouth slowly turn pale. He knew that he probably wouldn't survive.
He felt pity.
But he turned around and asked the secret guard to help him leave quickly.
The wheelchair was also left behind, next to Qiu Shui who was sitting on the ground.
There was blood at the corner of Qiu Shui's mouth, but she smiled.
"Qin Kun, I love you so much, I will give you one last chance."
"It's a pity that you don't cherish it."
She had already secretly told Qin Jingyu the exit of this secret passage.
If Qin Kun could show some true feelings to her at this time, she might soften her heart and tell him not to take that exit.
But now...
Qiu Shui closed his eyes, raised his head, and let himself be completely surrounded by this cold and damp secret passage.
I don't know how long it took, but a noisy sound of footsteps followed in.
The one running in front was Cen Jue. He knew this secret passage, so he led Ouyang Rui and others.
Then I saw Qiu Shui covered in blood.
"Lord Qiu?"
Qiu Shui raised her head and her vision blurred. She saw that it was Cen Jue and then smiled.
"As expected, you also betrayed Qin Kun. I reminded him before, but he was stubborn and said that the Cen family members had no ability and courage, so they would not dare to betray him."
“Ahem…”
"Qin Kun ran along this road. You should walk faster to prevent him from escaping through other exits."
Ouyang Rui nodded and immediately led his men to continue chasing.
Cen Jue looked at Qiu Shui with complicated eyes, "I'll ask someone to call a doctor for you."
Qiu Shui spat out another mouthful of blood and shook his head, "Don't save me, I don't want to live anymore."
"Cen Jue, the Ninth Princess was killed by Qin Kun himself."
Cen Jue: “I know.”
Qiu Shui was stunned for a moment, then smiled hastily, "So you knew, ahem."
Cen Jue: "Qiu Shui, you have to live."
"Because your entire family was executed because your father worked for Qin Kun."
"But later the truth was revealed, and Qin Kun was afraid that His Majesty would find out about him, so he pushed your father out to take the blame and become a scapegoat."
Qiu Shui's pupils suddenly shrank.
She held Cen Jue's hand tightly, "Are you telling the truth?"
Cen Jue: "I just found out about this, too."
"So, you have to live. You know that Qin Kun has done many evil things, although we already have a lot of evidence."
"But Qiu Shui, you are the most useful 'evidence' that can completely send Qin Kun to hell!"
The eyes that were about to be blurred by the autumn water gradually condensed again.
But this time, it was cold light.
She nodded.
Cen Jue breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked someone to call a doctor.
After making sure Qiu Shui had received emergency treatment, they continued to move forward.
Although they did have a lot of evidence, everyone knew that Qin Kun had to be killed this time.
Let him never recover.
Qin Kun was in a very embarrassing situation at this time because the sound of the pursuers behind him was getting louder and louder.
He especially regretted that he shouldn't have wasted so much time on Qiu Shui.
It would be better to just give her a ride.
"How far is it to the outside of the city?"
The secret guard said, "Your Highness, we will be out soon. They can't catch up with us!"
Hearing this, Qin Kun felt a little relieved.
Seeing the exit in sight, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I felt very depressed and regretful.
I have been lying dormant for so long with great difficulty, and after enduring until now, I am back to square one.
But I shouldn't die.
He has been in contact with Southern Xinjiang and the Western Regions over the years, and he is used to leaving himself a way out when doing anything.
Thinking of this, Qin Kun calmed down.
When they arrived at the secret door, Qin Kun reached out and pushed it open.
The exit of this secret passage is in a suburban farm outside the city. It is usually well hidden and no one will find it.
However, the moment Qin Kun pushed open the door, he saw a fire as bright as daylight.
Two knives fell from the sky and were placed on Qin Kun's neck unexpectedly.
The secret guard behind him was about to make a move but was immediately hit.
Anyone who resists and struggles will be killed.
The secret guard's blood sprayed all over Qin Kun.
He wiped the blood that blurred his eyes and looked over again.
Qin Jingyu, dressed in a dark black robe, got off his horse and walked up to him.
Qin Jingyu: "Uncle, where are you going at this late hour?"
Compared with the majestic and noble Qin Jingyu, Qin Kun was in a very miserable state.
He said coldly, "Qin Jingyu, I am a prince, you have no right to arrest me like this!"
Qin Jingyu directly took out the imperial edict in his hand.
"Uncle, I am here to arrest you. If you have anything else to say, wait until we are in the prison!"
At this point, Qin Kun had no way to struggle anymore.
But when he was caught, he still asked with a stern face:
"Who betrayed me? Was it Qin Tingfang, Cen Jue, or..."
Qin Jingyu: "Whenever you are in danger, you will let others take the blame for you."
"Have you ever thought that if you walk along the river frequently, you will get your shoes wet?"
Qin Kun looked ashen.
Qin Jingyu had him arrested.
Then they entered the secret passage again and met Ouyang Rui, and they raided the Ninth Prince's Mansion overnight.
Cen Jue reported to Qin Jingyu: "Qiu Shui was saved temporarily due to timely medical treatment, but her heart and lungs were also injured, and she won't live long. However, she wants to expose the evil deeds committed by Qin Kun."
Qin Jingyu: "Although Qin Kun was the mastermind behind many evil deeds, Qiu Shui was also involved, right?"
Cen Jue nodded, "She is holding on to her last breath, wanting to avenge her family."
Before, Qiu Shui always thought that her enemy was Emperor Minghe who had harmed her entire family.
But it was not until I got the evidence in front of me that I realized that I had been in love with my enemy for so many years.
He also did so many evil things for his enemies.
She regretted her decision.
I just hope that Qin Kun can be brought to justice to comfort the souls of his family in heaven.
Qin Jingyu nodded slightly and patted Cen Jue on the shoulder.
"Let's go and see what's in Qin Kun's secret room."
Evidence of treason and the dragon robe that had been embroidered for many years...
There is even a secret room filled with portraits of a woman.
Cen Jue only took one look, then turned away with red eyes.
Because that was a portrait of his elder sister.
In addition to the portraits, the room is also filled with some poems written by Qin Kun, all of which are in memory of his deceased wife.
It made him seem as if he really had deep feelings for Cen Yue.
Qin Jingyu stood beside Cen Jue who was crying silently, his brows furrowed.
"Although Qin Kun is hateful, that matter was ultimately your sister's wishful thinking."
"Poor Lin family, old and young."
Cen Jue: "I'm sorry..."
Qin Jingyu: "Go back to the Lin family to pay your respects. If you want to apologize on behalf of your sister, go to the cemetery and say so."
Cen Jue choked up and said, "Yes."
Qin Jingyu did not stay here for long, leaving Cen Jue alone to reminisce while he went to other places.
Qin Kun is really rich.
The basement is filled with boxes of gold.
Qin Kun is a thoughtful and overly cautious person. He has probably been planning to start a rebellion for many years.
Then after failing, it quickly goes dormant.
Look for the next opportunity.
Very perseverant.
Ouyang Rui looked at the boxes of gold, silver and treasures and couldn't help but smack his lips.
"He probably has a lot of soldiers stored outside. But where does he keep all these soldiers?"
Qin Jingyu: "Either in Southern Xinjiang or in the Western Regions."
Ouyang Rui was stunned, feeling it was unbelievable, but then he felt that this was reasonable.
Because Qin Kun's fiefdom is close to that place.
But Qin Kun was not allowed to leave the capital for the rest of his life because of the late emperor's decree.
Qin Jingyu sighed.
"Grandpa Emperor knew that he was restless, so he left him to practice with my father."
"My father suppressed him several times, but he was not completely killed."
"Then it was left to me to practice again."
Ouyang Rui found it difficult to respond to this.
Because Qin Jingyu took ruthless action.
"Ouyang Rui, you will handle the follow-up matters."
Ouyang Rui nodded and agreed. He had known that tonight would be a sleepless night and he would definitely not be able to go home.
Fortunately, I had sent someone to send a letter home to tell Jiamin.
But Ouyang Rui still asked one more question.
"Your Highness, are you going to the palace to see the emperor? It's a bit late now."
Qin Jingyu nodded, "Yes, so I won't go to see the emperor, so as not to disturb my father. I will go home."
Ouyang Rui: “…”
