Chapter 628 Cut the Grass without Eradicating the Roots, the Spring Breeze Will Regenerate

Luo Qinghan asked calmly.

"Concubine Hui, Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian, and the fourth prince, none of them participated in the rebellion, but they are all dead, aren't they innocent?

Or, in the eyes of the mother, only the life of the Qin family is life.

Other people's lives are just grass mustard ants, not worth mentioning. "

Empress Qin looked at him fixedly: "I will pay for their lives."

Luo Qinghan was noncommittal.

Queen Qin: "I just want the Qin family to leave a little blood. Qin Xiya is just a woman, and she is married. Even if she is left alive, it won't be a big hindrance to you."

Luo Qinghan: "Qin Lie and Qin Zhong were both killed because of their loneliness, and even the entire Qin family was killed by their loneliness. If Qin Xiya is left alone, do you think she will spend the rest of her life peacefully? Desperate to seek revenge against Gu?"

Queen Qin: "I will persuade her to give up the idea of ​​revenge."

"Mother, you have warned my son.

Doing things must be done absolutely, and not giving the enemy a chance to counterattack, the benevolence of a woman is absolutely necessary.

Erchen thinks what you said makes sense.

Cut grass without eradicating its roots, the spring wind blows and grows again. "

Empress Qin was speechless.

Luo Qinghan: "If the mother has nothing else to say, the son will leave."

Seeing that he was leaving, Empress Qin hurriedly stopped him.

"King Xiling gave me something before he left. You should be very interested in this kind of thing."

Luo Qinghan: "What is it?"

Empress Qin glanced at the eunuchs and guards standing around.

Luo Qinghan waved his hand.

Eunuch Chang led the crowd back out.

They stood at the gate of the temple.

The door of the main hall is open, and Eunuch Chang can see the scene inside the hall by turning his head slightly.

He saw that Empress Qin was talking, but because of the distance and her soft voice, he couldn't hear what she was saying.

Empress Qin pulled out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to the prince.

Luo Qinghan didn't reach out to pick it up.

He asked coldly, "What is this?"

Queen Qin: "This is what King Xiling left behind before he left. I want to use it in exchange for Qin Xiya's life."

Luo Qinghan: "What does it do to me?"

"It can help you seize the throne faster."

...

King Xiling and his party fled all night, carefully avoiding crowded places, and they could only sleep in the wilderness even overnight.

Fortunately, the weather is hot now, and it is quite cool to sleep in the wild at night.

The only annoying thing is that there are many snakes, worms and ants. Several guards have been accidentally bitten by poisonous snakes and poisonous insects and died.

The carriage drives on a remote mountain road.

Xie Chuxue waited on the king of Xiling to take medicine.

With the growth of time, the frequency of poisonous attacks is getting faster and faster, even taking medicine can only slightly alleviate the pain caused by poisoning.

King Xiling asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there still no news from Han Li?"

Xie Chuxue said worriedly, "No."

Han Li was a dead man they carefully cultivated, and he was very loyal to them, and there was absolutely no possibility of betrayal.

Now that they have lost contact with Han Li, there is only one possibility, that Han Li is dead.

King Xiling: "We underestimated Fang Wujiu. He should have noticed Han Li long ago, but he just pretended not to know and deliberately lured us to let our guard down. Although Han Li is highly skilled in martial arts, he is far inferior to Fang Wujiu."

Xie Chuxue pursed her lips: "I knew this earlier, when Fang Wujiu was injured, we should take the opportunity to kill him."

King Xiling: "This is the end of the matter, and it is useless to say more."

Looking at his pale complexion, Xie Chuxue's eyes turned red when he thought of how little time he had left.

"Father, I don't want to see you die."

King Xiling didn't want to die either.

He is full of ambition, how can he be willing to die before he has time to display it? !

King Xiling closed his eyes: "Go back to Xiling County first, and let someone go to Nanyue to inquire."

Xie Chuxue's eyes lit up: "Nanyue people are good at refining poison and nourishing Gu. Nine out of ten strange poisons in this world come from Nanyue. Let's start with Nanyue, and maybe we can find a way to detoxify."

Nanyue is a small border country located south of Dasheng.

That place was very remote, belonged to the uncivilized southern barbarian land, and was extremely xenophobic.

It is a bit difficult to deal with them, but Xie Chuxue believes that as long as the benefits are given enough, the Nanyue people will definitely be willing to help.

The road ahead was long, and it was too boring to sit there. Xie Chuxue turned to ask another thing that she had been curious about for a long time.

"Father, what did you leave to the queen when you left the palace?"

King Xiling said: "It is a letter written by the late emperor before his death."

Xie Chuxue became more and more curious: "Is it the last emperor's edict?"

"No, the late emperor went too hastily, and he didn't have time to make a last edict."

Xie Chuxue frowned and looked puzzled: "But I remember that when the emperor succeeded to the throne, there was a will."

Speaking of this, King Xiling couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile.

"That edict is false."

Xie Chuxue was taken aback: "It turned out to be fake?"

"That edict was written by Qin Lie imitating the handwriting of the late emperor, and the jade seal on it was also stamped by the sixth prince himself. King Chen Liu and I were responsible for handing over the fake edict to the cabinet. The court intends to announce to the world that the sixth prince will naturally ascend the throne and become the new emperor."

As a famous calligrapher, Qin Lie not only writes well, but also imitates other people's handwriting.

Qin Xiya's ability to imitate handwriting was learned from Qin Lie.

Even if the six patriarchs jointly reviewed it, they could not find any clues about the will.

To this day, the edict is still placed in the ancestral temple. Except for the few people who were present, no one knew that it was fake.

Xie Chuxue did not expect such a secret.

Following King Xiling's train of thought, she couldn't help but ask.

"If the edict is false, is there a problem with the death of the late emperor?"

King Xiling: "What do you think?"

Xie Chuxue only felt extremely terrified.

"Then what was the letter you left to the queen?"

King Xiling told the whole story slowly.

"That is a secret letter from the late emperor to Duke Chang.

At that time, the late emperor was already seriously ill. He realized that there was something wrong with the medicinal pills he took every day, and suspected that someone had bought a channel to kill him.

The first person he suspected was the sixth prince.

But the late emperor was too sick to get out of bed, and at that time there were a large number of supporters gathered around the sixth prince, it was very difficult to convict the sixth prince.

So the late emperor wrote to Duke Chang, asking him to help collect evidence of the sixth prince's crime.

Duke Chang was the late emperor's uncle, and he was also the previous minister of Dali Temple. Logically speaking, it would be safest to leave this matter to him.

It's a pity that this letter was intercepted by me before it was sent to the palace.

After reading the contents of the letter, I knew that the late emperor was already suspicious of the sixth prince.

But instead of reporting the matter to the sixth prince, I quietly left the secret letter. "
