Chapter 227: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 44
Outside the cave, one kilometer away.
Sui Er died in a miserable way. He was stabbed by several swords, his body was covered in blood, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.
Those honest eyes were wide open, staring blankly in the direction of the cave, with a bit of reluctance and tenderness.
Sui Erta died with his eyes open.
Li Junze had a sad face and tried to close his eyes himself. He tried once, but failed. He tried twice, but still couldn't close his eyes.
Li Junze thought about it and promised him: "Don't worry, Sui Er, I will avenge you and take good care of Miss Xin for you."
Having said that, he took action again.
Sui Er seemed to have heard his words and finally closed his eyes this time.
Li Junze stood up, clenched his lowered hands into fists, and ordered the secret guards: "Collect Sui Er's body, and do your best to find the murderer and avenge Sui Er."
On his way back, he ran into Xin He and Su Ziyu who were looking for Sui Er. By this time, Xin He had already learned about Sui Er's death from the secret guards, and he almost managed to hold on to his breath.
He blocked their way, unable to bear letting her see Sui Er's bloody body. This was too cruel for a woman who had lost her lover.
Xin He's mind went blank. She didn't believe that Sui Er was really dead. He was holding her hand and said he wanted to protect her. How could he be dead?
"Your Highness, please move aside. I don't believe Sui Er will die. I want to see him."
Su Zi wanted to support her, he actually couldn't believe that Sui Erren was gone just like that.
His memory of Sui Er still remained at the casual chat that day, Xin He's shy face when introducing Sui Er to him, and Sui Er's serious statement that he attacked him only because Li Junze ordered him to do so.
That scene seemed like yesterday, how come we are suddenly separated by the Yin and Yang?
He looked at Li Junze blankly, and saw some sadness in his eyes. He finally understood that Sui Er was really dead. His voice was a little hoarse, "Your Highness, let her see Sui Er for the last time!"
Upon hearing this, Li Junze silently took a step to the side and made way.
Xin He saw her lover in the mess from afar. She let go of Su Ziyu and staggered mechanically towards the man who said he would protect her all her life, one step deep and one step shallow.
Sui Er was lying on the grass with a pale face, his chest covered in blood, and the blood oozing from the wound had dyed the ground dark red.
Xin He still couldn't accept it.
Hot tears welled up in her eyes and a silent cry came from her throat. Unprecedented sorrow and pain pulled her heart into the bottomless abyss.
Xin He fell on Sui Er, and could no longer feel the hot body temperature of the past. Instead, her body felt cold and stiff, and the smell of blood was pungent.
"A Sui, it's all my fault. I hurt you!"
After Xin He said this sadly, he suddenly turned his head to the side, spit out blood, and fainted on Sui Er.
Su Ziyu and Li Junze hurried forward to help the man to the side. Li Junze said, "This place is not far from Shanci Temple. Let's go there first and let Abbot Liaowu take a look!"
Su Ziyu nodded, "Okay."
In Shanci Temple, Xin He was settled in the guest room. Abbot Liaowu examined her and found out that Xin He was weak to begin with, and she fainted and vomited blood due to her grief. If she didn't take good care of herself in the future, she might die young.
Su Ziyu ordered someone to pick up Qingluo to take care of Xinhe, and he stood guard at the door. Li Junze went to Abbot Wu's meditation room and told him about Sui Er.
Li Junze stood there, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Sui Er is dead. It's my fault for not taking good care of him."
Abbot Liaowu's eyelids twitched, and his hands that were spinning the Buddhist beads suddenly stopped. He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, life and death are determined by fate, and the donor does not need to blame himself."
"He's your son!!!"
"Amitabha, my earthly ties have ended, so please don't speak nonsense."
...
After a moment of silence, Li Junze took out a gold ingot and placed it on the table. "Abbot Liaowu, Sui Er died with his eyes open. After his body is cremated, please have your temple perform a ritual to help him attain salvation."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave. Abbot Liaowu hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly called him, his voice old and somewhat powerless and sad, "Why?"
Li Junze paused, "He and Xin Hehe, the fourth daughter of the Xin family whom the emperor married to me, are in love with each other. I originally planned to find a way to cancel the engagement and let them be together.
But before they could do anything, they were attacked because of me. In order to protect Xin He, Sui Er led the assassin to another place, where he was stabbed several times and died. "
Abbot Liaowu closed his eyes and said, "Amitabha."
Li Junze walked away and went to look for Su Ziyu. Su Ziyu was standing at the door, looking at Xin He's disheartened look in the room, and felt uncomfortable.
Seeing Li Junze coming, he just called out "Your Highness the Crown Prince" and turned his gaze back to the house, his face full of worry.
Qingluo, the personal maid, was almost crying in anxiety. The young lady had woken up, but her soul seemed to have gone with Sui Er. She said nothing, but just stared at the ceiling and cried silently. She couldn't even take a single sip of medicine.
She really had no other options, so she could only ask the two nobles for help. "Prince Su, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please think of a solution! If my young lady doesn't take the medicine, what will happen to her health?"
Li Junze looked towards the bed and said in a deep and powerful voice, "Xin He, don't you want to avenge Sui Er?"
Hearing this, Xin He's dull eyes moved and she slowly turned her head to look towards the door.
Li Junze said slowly, "Drink the medicine. When I catch the murderer, I'll let you deal with him personally. Okay?"
After a long while, Xin He finally spoke softly, "Qingluo, bring the medicine... here."
Seeing that she wanted to take the medicine on her own initiative, Qingluo immediately brought the medicine over and helped her drink it. Su Ziyu and Li Junze also breathed a sigh of relief.
A sleeping pill was added to the medicine. Xin He fell asleep soon after drinking it. Su Ziyu asked Qingluo to take good care of him while he and Li Junze went to the back mountain.
"Is it the Sixth Prince's men?"
Su Ziyu thought for a moment. Xin He was usually very low-key. He would postpone banquets if he could, and if he couldn't, he would have his mother protecting him. He wouldn't make enemies easily.
Therefore, he really couldn't think of who Xin He would offend. If it was not directed at her personally, then her identity as the Crown Princess was an original sin.
Li Junze has been in high spirits since returning to Beijing. The Sixth Prince cannot remain indifferent. He might make an example of Xin He and take the opportunity to suppress Li Junze.
"The assassins, we haven't confirmed who is behind them yet." Li Junze was silent for a moment, then added, "But if I'm not mistaken, the people who attacked Xin He and killed Jiang Kui should be the same group of people."
Jiang Kui was found dead at home a few days ago. The cause of death was that he fell into the pond at home and drowned due to being drunk. When the family servants found the body, it was swollen.
Jiang Kui was known in the army as someone who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk and whose alcohol tolerance was unmatched. How could he drown at home due to drinking? It was obvious that he was set up by someone.
"Don't worry, Sui Er's death will not be in vain. I will make them pay for it a thousand times."
