The dispenser stopped working, and everyone under the city wall was confused. What was going on?
Helan Yinsheng checked the black balls in other dispensers and found that they had been replaced.
"Who did it?" He was on the verge of rage and questioned everyone on the city wall.
"It's me." Yu Qinglan, dressed in white, walked towards Helan Yinsheng.
He never expected that it was Yu Qinglan, the woman he trusted so much and who was completely devoted to him.
"Why is it you?"
Yu Qinglan said calmly, "Why can't it be me? I led my men to replace the poison overnight. I also let Jin Suting go. I was planning to lure her out of the city and kill her, but she got lucky and ran away. I also put those soldiers in the dungeon. It was all my fault."
Helan Yinsheng was so angry that he couldn't speak: "You...you are so confused!"
People under the city wall were watching the excitement. They thought the prince and the concubine had a falling out.
Yu Qinglan smiled lightly, his eyes devoid of any brilliance. "I'm confused? When you were about to join forces with Mu Hange to destroy the Helan family empire that your father swore to protect with his life, did you ever consider your own confusion?"
Helan Yinsheng glanced at the head of Muhan Pavilion and said nothing.
Yu Qinglan walked up to Helan Yinsheng, not even glancing at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers below the city wall. "Ever since I learned you were planning to cooperate with Mu Han Pavilion, I've been working on these things. You never realized it was me because I've always had a scapegoat. Also, you thought I would never betray you or leave you. That's just your own self-righteousness."
Every word Yu Qinglan said was heart-wrenching, and Helan Yinsheng's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Ayin, I loved you too in the past, you know that?" Yu Qinglan shed a tear. She had so much to complain about, so much helplessness, so much reluctance.
She loves Helan Yinsheng very much, but also hates Helan Yinsheng very much.
From the moment she found out that he fell in love with someone else, to the miscarriage of her child, to his indifference to her, to his ruthless exploitation... every single thing told her that she could no longer foolishly love this man.
At this moment, Helan Yinsheng's eyes lacked the resentment and confusion he should have seen, nor the usual indifference. Instead, he was filled with helplessness. He had never seen Yu Qinglan like this before. At first, she had been enthusiastic around him every day, then hysterical and crazy. Then, she was so businesslike that even he himself thought she was not his wife, but his subordinate. But Yu Qinglan was disappointed and indifferent at this moment.
"Lanlan, I..."
Yu Qinglan took out the dagger she had prepared long ago, tears streaming down her face. "I don't want the kingdom your father and my grandfather fought to the death to fall into the hands of others. I can't stop you, so I will die for my country."
She had done everything she could, releasing the hostages, letting in soldiers, and secretly replacing the poison.
Although she knew that Helan Yinsheng had tens of thousands of poisons in his poison warehouse, she couldn't find that place, and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Lanlan, don't do that! Put down the knife." Helan Yinsheng was panicked. He was afraid that Yu Qinglan would really die like this.
"Sister!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Yu Seung-ho shouted from under the city wall.
"You won't die. You can't bear to leave me." Helan Yinsheng changed his tone in a hurry, trying to stop Yu Qinglan.
A tear rolled down Yu Qinglan's eyes. "Helan Yinsheng, do you know? What I hate most is the way you are now, so self-righteous." As the words fell, the tip of the knife pierced his chest, and blood dyed his white clothes red.
She seemed to be back to the first time she met Helan Yinsheng, the proud child standing in the sun with his head held high. This was the way she loved him at first.
"Lanlan!"
"Sister!"
Helan Yinsheng rushed over to catch Yu Qinglan, and blood stained his robe red.
"Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician! Why is the blood flowing so fast? I can't stop it!" Tears welled up in Helan Yinsheng's eyes. His panicked look was completely different from his usual cold appearance.
"In the next life, I don't want to meet you again." Yu Qinglan held on to his last breath, said this, and then closed his eyes forever.
"Yu Qinglan, wake up! You can't die unless I let you! Do you hear me? Wake up!"
"Helan Yinsheng, I'll kill you!"
"Your Majesty, the poison has been replaced. Shall we continue?"
The head of Muhan Pavilion answered for him: "Go on, go on!"
The person who came to ask questions saw that Helan Yinsheng didn't say anything and didn't dare to take any action.
"Withdraw the troops and surrender."
Helan Yinsheng said quietly, as if his world had turned gray and there was no light in his eyes.
The head of Muhan Pavilion was anxious, "You can't do this, the arrow is on the string and must be shot!"
Helan Yinsheng pulled out the dagger from his boot and flew it directly to hit the head of the Muhan Pavilion Master in the forehead.
Seeing her father being killed in one blow, Han Shuangye rushed over to fight Helan Yinsheng, but was held back by several people and pinned to the ground. She shouted, "Helan Yinsheng, you are treacherous! My father raised you for many years, so he is still your master after all!"
"Shut up." Helan Yinsheng stabbed her with another dagger. Han Shuangye died in exactly the same way as her father.
Everyone under the city wall was stunned. This is victory without fighting?
Helan Yinsheng only left a sentence, "Wait until I settle Lanlan, then I'll leave it to you to deal with."
Then he carried Yu Qinglan's body and left the city wall.
