The doctors in Langya City looked at each other and told the truth:
"It's not because of the Qin people and the Qi people that we are unwilling to treat this girl with all our heart. A doctor should have the world in mind and hang the pot to help the world, but the poison of the empress is indeed not something that we can cure. If not, you Find out the source of this poison, ask the real culprit behind it and ask for the antidote, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope."
Zhu Siying twitched: "The real murderer...the real murderer is all in Xuzhou. No one is alive. Where does the antidote come from?"
Yan Xiu: "I don't think so. Master Bai is still in trial, and there may be some fish that slipped through the net."
That night, Bai Heng actually got the words out of the people's mouths, and finally found Jiang Huan.
Without saying a word, he led people into Jiang Yuan's bedroom and wanted to take her out.
Zhu Yuancun was drinking in a melancholy manner in the main hall. When he saw Bai Heng breaking into the door and protecting Jiang Yuan behind him, he hurriedly asked: "Master Bai, why is this?"
Bai Heng pointed at Jiang Yuan: "She is the real culprit who murdered the empress. Mr. Hou, the empress is your biological sister. If you don't let me take her to the imperial court for questioning and force her to hand over the antidote, the empress will be in danger."
The day finally came. Jiang Yuan looked unusually calm, her eyes looking toward the distant sky like a pool of stagnant water.
Zhu Yuancun woke up instantly, and the sound of something breaking bit by bit tortured him to the point of death.
He turned his head and asked Jiang Yuan word by word: "Is what Mr. Bai said true? Are you also involved in this plan?"
Jiang Yuan: "Yes, I am the one who spread the news that Yan Xiu is going to pass through Xuzhou. Is the Marquis still satisfied with this answer?"
Bai Heng: "Without further delay, I would like to ask the Marquis to release me and let this girl go with a certain person to meet His Majesty."
Zhu Yuancun choked, "I'll go with you."
…
Beichen Palace was originally the first palace of the Imperial Palace of Qi State. It was previously the residence of the Emperor of Qi State, but now it has become the temporary residence of Yan Xiu.
There were only a few dim and dim lamps in the main hall. Yan Xiu closed his eyes and fell asleep, sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform.
The Qin people are still black, and his uniform is also black. He is hidden in the unclear night, making it difficult for people to see his true face, but when he is close to him, he can feel the invisible pressure coming from all directions.
It wasn't until everyone who was supposed to be present arrived that Yan Xiu slowly opened his eyes and ordered people to light the remaining lamps.
The candlelight lit up Beichen Palace, and Yan Xiu's face appeared completely in front of Jiang Yuan's eyes. Jiang Yuan was shocked when she saw this, even though her heart was filled with despair.
I have long heard rumors about the appearance of the Emperor of Qin. The former most beautiful woman married the extraordinary-looking Emperor He and gave birth to the tallest and most handsome emperor in the world.
Countless people who have seen Yan Xiu are all fascinated by his grace.
Jiang Yuan didn't care at first, but it wasn't until today that she saw this man thousands of miles away, whose good looks were legendary, that she realized that the Qin people were not lying.
Yan Xiu is extremely good-looking. Even if he is decadent, messy, and vicissitudes of life, his appearance is still top-notch.
But it was this tall, calm man who destroyed her country and killed all her relatives. No matter how good-looking he was, his face was extremely ugly.
Anyway, I have nothing left, so why not die?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan straightened her back and looked into Yan Xiu's eyes: "I have heard about the name Emperor Qin for a long time, and now that I have seen him, he is indeed well-deserved."
Yan Xiu did not talk nonsense with her: "Antidote, since Ji Yang has poison, you must have the antidote here. Hand over the antidote, I will spare your life because you are the only bloodline of the Qi family."
Jiang Yuan lowered her head: "I don't have an antidote."
Zhu Siying stepped forward excitedly. If someone hadn't stopped her, she would have scratched Jiang Yuan's face. She shouted loudly:
"You crazy woman! What's the point of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid? You hate the Qin people so much, why do you have to attack my sister? Why! She is just an innocent woman!"
From the moment she entered the palace, Jiang Yuan noticed a resentful gaze staring at her.
Now, she finally saw the source of her gaze clearly. The face looked somewhat similar to Zhu Yuancun's. She didn't need to think too much to know that she was Zhu Yuancun's biological sister.
Yan Xiu's tone became more and more cold: "Do you know the punishment for deceiving the emperor?"
Jiang Yuan didn't lie. She lowered her eyelashes and explained:
"I did give Ji Yang some poison, but the poison I gave him was a poison that killed him on the spot. It had nothing to do with the symptoms of your empress Zhaoyi. You asked me for the antidote, but I really can't give it. .”
Seeing that she is so stubborn that she won't eat, I can only show affection and reason to her. Zhu Yuancun stepped forward, knelt down with her, and tried to persuade her:
"Jiang Yuan, it was me who destroyed your country and it had nothing to do with my sister. You can kill me now, but I just ask you to be noble and let my sister go."
After saying that, he thrust a long dagger into Jiang Yuan's hand.
Zhu Siying screamed: "Brother——!"
What if this crazy woman really kills Zhu Yuancun?
Zhu Yuancun closed his eyes and waited for Jiang Yuan to make a move.
Unexpectedly, the sound of a dagger falling to the ground came from the palace, and the echo echoed for a long time. Zhu Yuancun opened his eyes again, and Jiang Yuan smiled at him:
"I didn't lie, Marquis Wuxing. I lied to you many times, but I really didn't lie to you this time. There is no cure for the poison your sister has been poisoned by."
She looked at Yan Xiu: "I, Jiang Yuan, swear here that it is true that I want to kill the dragon, and it is true that I participated in planning the assassination. But the poison I gave Ji Yang is really not the poison that Zhaoyi was poisoned by. To put it bluntly, I am willing to suffer the ultimate punishment and die."
Yan Xiu's last hope fell through.
He suddenly understood what retributive dissatisfaction meant and what true loneliness meant.
He never believed in fate before, but now he does. The killings he committed and the massacre of the city were all repaid to the woman he loved most.
Yan Xiu had a splitting headache. He held his forehead and waved his hand: "Cut it off."
Bai Heng was about to step forward to lead the men, but Zhu Yuancun stood up suddenly, threw down his helmet and took off his armor: "Your Majesty, this happened because I made a mistake while drunk. I am willing to kill Jiang Yuan with my own hands to avenge the empress."
Yan Xiu didn't stop him. He had no intention of staying here anymore and turned around to enter the dormitory.
Zhu Siying rushed forward without hesitation and slapped Zhu Yuancun and Jiang Yuan respectively. She glared at them fiercely:
"I want to see her body with my own eyes, otherwise I will never give up on this matter."
Zhu Yuancun lowered his head: "I understand."
…
Suddenly it rained heavily in Langya.
On the way to escort Jiang Yuan to the open space outside the palace, Zhu Yuancun suddenly bypassed everyone and took her into a side hall.
Jiang Yuan sneered: "What? Mr. Hou is reluctant to kill me? The slap from your sister just now was not painful enough."
Her face was still burning with pain.
Zhu Yuancun smiled bitterly and said, "Jiang Yuan, I want to know, why?"
Jiang Yuan: "You know this question well. Don't ask me again. I'm tired of it. Kill me as soon as possible to vent your anger."
Zhu Yuancun: "That's not what I'm asking. You know how important my sister is to me. You know that she is the best person in the world to treat me! You also know that she has always been timid and a man's great achievements. , Thousands of years of fame have nothing to do with her. Why do you still want to attack her? If you hate me, hate His Majesty, and want to make us all suffer through her, you win."
"Jiang Yuan, you are so cruel. My sister is innocent! She has never been sorry to you!"
