It's because I'm late
Yuwen He.
Her voice came from her lips.
The knot between his eyebrows seemed to have loosened a little, but his face was still very pale.
Yuwen He caressed his pale face with a pained heart, blaming himself all over: "It's all my fault, I came late!"
The person in his dreams couldn't respond at all. When he thought of the scene he saw when he returned, his eyes turned cold.
Not long after he and Tang Jingzhi left the door, he felt that something was amiss and turned back halfway through.
If they had come back even a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Hu Le was more daring than expected, he actually dared to do such a small thing behind his back.
If there is a path to heaven, you will not walk it, but if there is no gate to hell, you will cast it.
Those who seek their own deaths, don't blame him for not showing mercy!
Tang Jingzhi knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that Yuwen He was still holding onto Xiao Ruyue, and that the other party was not letting him in, Tang Jingzhi could not help but swallow his saliva.
"She's actually fine. It's just that she's involved in the wound and is too tired. She'll be fine after a short rest."
When Yuwen He heard this, he suddenly raised his head. Tang Jingzhi only felt two cold glints piercing into his heart.
"She's been unconscious for two hours and hasn't woken up yet."
Tang Jingzhi was originally trembling with fear, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "She just fell asleep from exhaustion, he's not unconscious!"
How many times did he have to repeat this before he could listen?
How could a usually astute person become a fool at the empress's place?
Tang Jingzhi couldn't help but sigh as he placed the fried medicine on the table. He looked at Yuwen He and said, "The Empress has slept for two hours and should be awake by now. Remember to drink this medicine yourself. In case she wakes up and sees Yuwen He whose face is as white as paper, then she will come and find me to settle the score. "
After saying that, he no longer cared about Yuwen He's reaction, and left.
When they were about to leave, Chong Yue just happened to enter at the right time and the two of them walked past each other.
Tang Jingzhi couldn't help but look at the kneeling Yin Lin at the door, and sigh in his heart, "A sin …"
The empress's actions had been too much of a sin.
Yuwen He had already predicted that he would take action, and was extremely wary of Hu Le, but he never expected that he would take action so quickly.
They had accidentally let Yuwen He's precious Elder Sister Xiao go alone, and now that they were in such a state, it was no wonder that Yuwen He would blame himself.
Although he had already stepped through the door, the atmosphere was somewhat terrifying. Chong Yue didn't dare speak, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty!"
"Where's that Prince Hu Le?"
Without waiting for Chong Yue to speak, Yuwen He coldly cut him off.
His cold face was quite frightening.
Chong Yue immediately said: "He's already been controlled by our people, he has no way of resisting."
Yuwen He's black eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he immediately ordered, "Send down the orders, we will set off immediately."
While speaking, he paused for a moment, and continued, "Help Tang Jingzhi clean it up, don't leave any traces behind."
"Yes sir!"
Chong Yue answered loudly.
When he retreated, he could not help but look at Yin Lin who was kneeling at the door. She wanted to beg for mercy, but she opened her mouth, and the words that were about to come out were forcefully swallowed.
If he were to plead on her behalf now, the consequences would be even worse.
In the end, he gave up on begging and sighed before retreating.
The afternoon sun was poisonous.
Yin Lin had already knelt on the ground for two hours, not moving at all, beads of perspiration the size of beans dripping from her forehead. She just knelt there like that, and no one dared to help her up.
Yin Lin was a little dazed.
However, his heart was filled with remorse.
She was terrified when she saw Thirteen lying in a pool of blood.
If the Empress had not possessed the ability to seize even the slightest advantage, the one who would have fallen into a pool of blood would have been the Empress. A corpse and two lives!
If she had been more cautious, the Empress wouldn't have …
It was all her fault.
"Your Majesty, this servant has failed in her duties. This servant should not have easily left her post. This servant deserves to die a thousand times for her crimes!"
"Your Highness, please punish me!"
There was no response from the room.
When His Majesty returned, he immediately set his mind on the Empress. It would have been great if he could punish her, but the Emperor had nothing to say to her.
She was afraid from the bottom of her heart.
Just as she was about to fall down in a trance, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
Yin Lin raised her head with much difficulty, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Pack your things and set off." Yuwen He said with an expressionless face.
"You are the only female member of our group, you must take care of her on the way back."
As if a person drowning in darkness suddenly saw the dawn, Yin Lin was overjoyed, "This servant obeys the decree!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily.
In fifteen minutes, Yuwen He carried the still unconscious Xiao Ruyue onto the carriage.
The people behind him all mounted their horses.
Set out.
The small courtyard behind him was deathly silent.
When someone realised that something was wrong with the intruder, their Crown Prince Hu Le was stripped naked and tied up on the bed. Beside him was a woman covered in blood, but upon closer inspection, she was already cold and had died a long time ago. Zhang Xuan's eyes widened. It was unknown what terrifying event he had experienced before his death.
At this time, the rumors about the crown prince Hu Le spread like wildfire. It was said that the one who had poisoned the khan was not the third prince, Mo Chuo, but the crown prince, Hu Le.
The one who truly wanted to kill the king and usurp the throne was Crown Prince Hu Le.
The news spread like wildfire, filling the city with storm clouds and rain.
At this time, Yuwen He and his men had already left the capital.
Tang Jingzhi turned around and looked at the skeptical Tatar King Courtyard, and thought: This move of Yuwen He's is too ruthless.
After blowing up Imperial Advisor's Mansion, breaking Yuwen Jue's arms, and kicking him off his horse, Mo Chuo was given the chance to return to his homeland in broad daylight. Because Yuwen He had already seen through it, Hu Le was not someone who could hold Yuwen Jue back, and the one who could truly fight with Yuwen Jue, was Mo Chuo.
Presumably, Mo Chuo was already on his way back to the King's Court.
With Hu Le's brain, it was hard to imagine what would happen next.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but admire Yuwen Jue.
This late emperor's second prince was really capable, he was able to control two of the most promising princes in Tartar to succeed him. But at the same time, it was unfortunate that Mo Chuo was not a person who would willingly be controlled.
However, the most important thing was to get back as soon as possible.
Once Yanzhou started moving, it would not be so easy for them to take a detour around the Cyan Plains and return.
Speaking of going around the Azure Province, this was probably the main reason why Yuwen He intentionally spread the news to lure Mo Chuo back to the King's Court.
Because, if they wanted to return to Yanzhou City, they had to take advantage of the Azure Province. If Mo Chuo stayed in the Azure Province the entire time, then it would be unavoidable for both of them to clash head on. If they were to take Mo Chuo away, then the rest of them were nothing to be afraid of.
Mo Chuo returned to the Tatar King's Court. Firstly, he restrained Yuwen Jue's movements, and secondly, he suppressed the crown prince Hu Le, and secondly, he made it easier for them to return.
Two birds with one stone.
The setting sun was as red as blood. In the blink of an eye, dusk had arrived.
When Xiao Ruyue woke up, from her angle, she just happened to see the edge of the window being dyed blood-red by the sunset glow.
He was in excruciating pain. In particular, the wounds on his back looked like they had been pricked by needles.
His scalp also hurt.
It took her a moment to recover from the chaos, and then the unpleasant memory came pouring out.
Hu Le.
Thirteen.
Two people colluding together.
She moved her only nimble right hand, and the feeling of her hand on the hilt seemed to be there.
In her lifetime, she had really made her move.
However, she didn't feel the least bit guilty.
There was no fear.
Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and saw the incredulous look in Thirteen's eyes before he died. She couldn't believe it herself.
However, she didn't regret it.
This was in the carriage, so had they already left that place?
Her throat was extremely dry. She licked her lips, which were similarly dry, and called out in a hoarse voice, "Yuwen He!"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a gust of wind had blown over and lifted the curtain.
She was stunned for a moment before looking at the pair of eyes filled with worry. She heaved a sigh of relief. Her lips, devoid of blood, curled up into a smile. "I'm fine now."
After a while, Yuwen He got on the carriage and carefully carried her.
He clearly wanted to hug her, but he was also afraid of dragging her wounds. He only dared to very carefully support her and give her two cups of water.
However, even breathing was very careful.
Such a timid method made Xiao Ruyue unable to restrain her laughter, "Don't worry, I'm not that weak."
Yuwen He's face was wooden, as he only replied with a "Okay".
Xiao Ruyue also understood that he was probably blaming herself. She moved a little, and with her only agile right hand, she pulled his sleeve: "I want to go to the toilet."
Yuwen He stared blankly, then blushed for some reason. He thought he saw wrongly, and repeated herself, "I want to go to the bathroom, it feels bad holding it in."
Yuwen He embarrassedly coughed as he carried her and got off the car.
Beside the carriage, Yin Lin saw Xiao Ruyue being carried off the carriage, and hot tears welled up in her eyes.
It's good that you're fine.
It's good that you're fine.
The whole atmosphere was very strange.
When he returned, Yin Lin was still standing by the side of the carriage, with tears all over his face. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but didn't dare to.
Xiao Ruyue subconsciously looked at Yuwen He, who was just inches away from him. His face with its deep facial features was still shrouded by an indescribable emotion.
Returning to the car, Yuwen He put her down and was about to escape again, but she immediately snorted, "Your Majesty, how long are you planning to run for?"
His figure stiffened slightly, and Xiao Ruyue couldn't help but sigh, "I'm not blaming you, why are you reacting this way?"
When he did not speak, she could only say, "Turn back."
Jun Mo Xie's eyes were full of remorse.
You're going to run away just because you blame yourself? This was not like the Yuwen He who dared to take responsibility.
Xiao Ruyue poked his cheek with her index finger, "Why do you have to blame yourself? Look at me, not a single hair on your head is missing, right?"
"Yes."
Mmm, your head.
"Then you're blaming me?"
"Nope."
Hey, what happened to Yuwen He?
Xiao Ruyue was a little helpless, but a wave of protest suddenly came from her stomach. She was startled, but it wasn't awkward at all as she waved her hand, "Do you have food to eat?"
Yuwen He did not say anything and silently walked away. After a while, he came back with a big bowl filled with meat and vegetables.
The sunset glow on the horizon had already been swallowed up by darkness.
A gurgling sound came from Xiao Ruyue's stomach the entire time. He was not in a hurry to feed it, and only after looking at it for a long while did she turn around and look at Xiao Ruyue: "I'm very sorry."
"I'm late."
