Fu Qingchu ran out of the cave and hid behind the pillars. When she saw someone heading towards the cave, she deliberately knocked over a pot of flowers, turned around and pushed the door open to go out.
Musheng Villa has many small doors. Fu Qingchu opened the door and saw Yun Shen's carriage still parked here. When the coachman saw her, he didn't know why and was about to call someone. Fu Qingchu pulled out the gold hairpin on his head and gave it to the coachman, "Stop talking and leave quickly!"
The coachman was a money-minded person, so he took away the hairpin and said ok with a smile.
Fu Qingchu got on the carriage and not far away, he heard someone chasing him.
The coachman glanced back in confusion. Fu Qingchu snatched the whip from his hand and whipped it hard on the horse's back. The horse was in pain and immediately ran forward desperately.
The coachman had no time to think, so he had to hold on to the reins and control the direction.
When Fu Qingchu saw Situ Jian chasing after him on horseback, his heart beat like a drum and he beat the horse as hard as he could.
The horse galloped faster, and the jolting of the carriage almost knocked her apart.
When the coachman saw Fu Qingchu beating the horse violently, he shouted: "If you hit the horse again, it will die!"
Fu Qingchu didn't care much. The more she ran, the more Situ Ce would be safe.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed and hit the horse's back. The horse was in pain, as if it felt the threat of death, and rushed forward desperately. Fu Qingchu's heart tightened and he whipped the horse even harder.
Arrows rained down on the carriage and horses, and the carriage jolted even more violently. Suddenly, an arrow hit the coachman's hand. He let go in pain, and the carriage suddenly lost control.
Another arrow landed on the horse's head. The horse neighed, its front hooves raised high, and the entire carriage was overturned.
Fu Qingchu was thrown heavily on the horse's back, and then fell hard to the ground from the horse's back. Severe pain came, and she felt that all the bones in her body were broken. Her eyes were dizzy, and she couldn't help but vomit a large mouthful of blood.
Situ Jian reined in the reins, jumped off the horse, looked at Fu Qingchu with a sneer, then shouted into the car: "Second brother, it's time, come out, don't be a coward."
Fu Qingchu lay on the ground and couldn't help laughing, "Before I die, I have something to say to His Highness King Jin."
Situ Jian's heart sank and he ordered someone to come forward to check.
"Back to Your Highness, there is no one else but a fainted groom."
"Hahaha..." Fu Qingchu laughed, "To seize the heir, you must first control the emperor. What do you think you are doing chasing an empty carriage? You should have taken His Majesty into the palace, and then asked Cheng An to draft the edict and tell Situ Ce is a fake. In this case, won’t you be justified?”
Hearing this, Situ Jian curled up his lips and said, "Thank you, girl, for reminding me. Cheng An has already drafted the decree. As for whether to return to the palace or not, it doesn't matter. Do you think it will be useful if you call the people from the Shili Mansion? I can arrange it When people enter the East Palace, it’s just a ten-man mansion, so what’s the problem?”
Hearing this, Fu Qingchu suddenly turned down his face and said, "No wonder you can come after me so confidently and boldly."
"To seize the heir, you have to be more careful." Situ Jian smiled, "Fu Sigui, do you want to die with the prince, or do you want to die here because you don't want him to be sad?"
Fu Qingchu looked at him coldly, "Do I have a choice?"
"No." Situ Jian looked at her and smiled warmly, "You are too smart and let you have long nights and dreams, so I will decide for you. Don't worry, he will come down to accompany you soon."
Situ Jian raised the sword in his hand. Fu Qingchu was so scared that he closed his eyes, lamenting in his heart that he had fallen before dawn. Will Situ Ce give her the posthumous title of "Wen Zhen"? She died for him. , such a request is not too much, right?
"Dang Cang..."
While he was thinking wildly, something fell to the ground. When Fu Qingchu opened his eyes, he saw that Situ Jian had been hit by an arrow. In a blink of an eye, the people who followed him also fell down after being hit by arrows.
Situ Jian looked back in disbelief, pulled out the arrow from his shoulder, and stabbed Fu Qingchu suddenly. Fu Qingchu turned over to avoid it, and Situ Jian was hit by another arrow in his hand.
Xu Zhen tightened the reins and jumped off the horse. The soldiers stepped forward and captured Situ Jian.
"Xu Zhen?" Situ Jian looked at Xu Zhen with disbelief on his face, "Why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Xu Zhen asked in a deep voice.
"Situ Ce has a grudge against you for taking away your wife, and you are actually used by him?"
Xu Zhen glanced at him but did not answer. He leaned forward to help Fu Qingchu up, "Your Highness is still waiting for the girl."
Fu Qingchu nodded, thanked him, and turned to look at Situ Jian, "When you rebel in your next life, remember what I just said."
"Fu Qingchu! I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
Fu Qingchu smiled, turned to look at the coachman who was being helped up, and said to Xu Zhen: "Help me take this coachman back."
"yes."
…
Situ Ce wanted to follow Xu Zhen to rescue Fu Qingchu, but Cheng Hehe held him back, saying that if he went, Fu Qingchu would be worried. After Xu Zhen left, Situ Ce became restless. He saw that Emperor Yuan He was also a little anxious, but it was difficult to persuade him.
When everyone was worried, a servant came in and said that Fu Qingchu was back. Situ Ce ignored the presence of Emperor Yuan He and Cheng An and stood up to greet them.
Situ Ce felt extremely distressed when he saw Lu Man supporting Fu Qingchu, and hurriedly took the person from Lu Man's hand, "Are you injured anywhere?"
Fu Qingchu wanted to say it was okay, but when he saw his worried look, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he felt a sense of fear.
If Xu Zhen were slower, she would never see him, nor the Haiyan Heqing they wanted to create together. Although she was determined to die at the time, it was only after the disaster that she discovered that she was actually afraid of death.
She pursed her lips, her face was filled with grievances, and tears fell down her cheeks, "Everywhere hurts."
When she said this, Situ Ce felt even more distressed and hurriedly said to Lu Man: "Go and call the imperial doctor quickly." As he said that, he helped her into the house.
After meeting Emperor Yuanhe, Fu Qingchu hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Emperor Yuanhe felt guilty and hurriedly said that he would not be polite. Situ Ce then helped her sit down.
Xu Zhen met Emperor Yuan He and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Jin is going to be captured. Should he be escorted in or not?"
"Bring him in."
"yes."
The imperial guards escorted Situ Jian in and knelt in front of Emperor Yuan He.
Emperor Yuanhe saw the wound on his hand and sighed deeply, "What else do you have to say?"
"I have nothing to say." Situ Jian said expressionlessly, "Whether to kill or behead, your Majesty has the final say."
Emperor Yuan He sneered, "You are smarter than your eldest and second brothers, but you are using it in the wrong place."
"I am not wrong. I just want to get back what should belong to me. Even if I am wrong, the only mistake is that I was not reincarnated in the belly of Queen Mingde." Situ Jian said coldly, "Otherwise this sick man What kind of?"
"Bang——"
Emperor Yuan He slapped the table angrily, and everyone present could not help but feel their hearts tremble.
"Beast! You don't even want your mother!"
"My mother?" Situ Jian looked at Emperor Yuan He with a smile, "Does Your Majesty take our mother and son seriously? In your eyes, only Queen Mingde and the second child are the only ones, and the others are all your maids and concubines, right?" Your minister. Every word you choose is biased. The second child is 'Li Zhi', and I am 'Bi Zhi'..."
"presumptuous--"
"I have done all the treacherous things, let alone wanton." Situ Jian sneered and looked at Fu Qingchu, "No matter how much you sacrifice your life for him, the outcome in the future will not be as good as mine today. The Fu family will never be able to win. Get rid of the charge of treason."
Even if Fu Qingchu gave birth to a son, he would be a commoner and could not avoid his fate.
Hearing this, Fu Qingchu's heart sank and he couldn't help laughing.
She didn't know why she was laughing. It was probably because Situ Jian told the truth and she couldn't refute it, so she had to laugh at herself.
Even if he didn't know about the deal Situ Ce had reached with Cheng Hehe, his words were still good. In the future, when she gives birth to a child, she must raise it under Cheng Hehe's name. Even if Cheng Hehe leaves the palace, there will be no vacancy in the middle palace, so her son will never be her own son.
If Zhonggong gives birth to her own child in the future, what will happen to her son?
No matter how well Situ Ce treated her, she would never be able to stand by his side openly as the daughter of a guilty minister. And she almost forgot that he also had a very affectionate cousin who was coming back soon.
Fu Qingchu felt extremely bitter in her heart. She always thought that if she defeated Situ Jian, her family would be freed. But how could Situ Jian allow Situ Li a chance to stand up? Step by step, he let Situ Li fall into the trap, leaving Situ Li and the Fu family without a chance to complain.
After all, Situ Li really rebelled, and the Fu family really followed suit.
"It's already come to this, and you still haven't forgotten to sow discord." Situ Ce said with a cold face, "You should still worry about yourself."
Situ Jian looked at him with contempt in his eyes, "Successful king or defeated bandit, what do I have to worry about?" He turned to look at Emperor Yuan He, "Aye, my son's life was given to me by you. Now, I’ll give it back to you!”
Situ Jian said, stood up, drew Xu Zhen's knife, and slit his neck cleanly, and warm blood suddenly spurted out from his neck.
"Sanlang——"
Emperor Yuan He was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair, rushed to hug his son who fell on the ground, and couldn't stop his tears from falling.
"Sanlang, my son..." Emperor Yuan He held his son in his arms and cried heartbrokenly, covering his son's gushing wound, "The imperial doctor - call the imperial doctor quickly -"
Situ Jian looked at his tearful father, and the tears finally fell. He reached out and touched his father's face, "Yeah, how do I compare to Erlang?"
Emperor Yuan He held his son's hand and burst into tears: "You are better than any of them, better than them all..."
Situ Jian smiled and said, "In the next life...I don't want to be the third child, so...yeah, you can make me..."
Before he finished speaking, Situ Jian lost his breath and didn't even have time to close his eyes.
"My son——"
Emperor Yuan He held his son's body and cried until he almost fainted.
"It's Aye who's sorry for you, it's Aye who's sorry for you..."
Situ Ce stood behind his father, closing his eyes in pain, tears streaming down his face.
He still remembered the first time he met his third brother. He held a wooden sword, looked at him arrogantly and said, "Are you my second brother? Humph, looking at your sick look, I look like your brother." , I will protect you in the palace from now on."
Situ Jian felt that he was the elder brother and wanted to protect Situ Ce.
But in the end, no one of them could protect anyone.
Fu Qingchu couldn't hide his sadness when he saw this tragedy of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man away. However, from the perspective of Emperor Yuanhe, what did he do wrong?
If we don’t establish the eldest son, and everyone thinks they are a saint and a wise king, how many family tragedies of fratricide will happen?
Whether as a father or an emperor, Emperor Yuan He has done what he can do. After all, even if he knew that Situ Jian was plotting against Situ Ce, he tried his best to protect the two of them from harm, and made her take the blame.
Now, Situ Jian is dead and has received an apology from his father. But with so many people in her family dying, she couldn't even be overly sad, and now she couldn't even talk about hatred. After all, her family took the initiative in the rebellion, and she couldn't escape the crime.
She suddenly felt very tired and aggrieved, but who could she tell?
Fu Qingchu took a deep breath, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye. Emperor Yuan He, who sent a black-haired person to a white-haired person, was a crime that her family could never be cleared of.
