Chapter 369 A jar of poisonous wine
"Sister Luolin, do you think Qin Xuan hates you?" The fourth prince smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"There must be someone who takes the responsibility. I was the one who took the exam for him back then. Your Highness, you can put aside this matter." Princess Luolin looked at the fourth prince and recalled the past events in her heart.
She was young at that time, and although she was a girl, she had the ambition to conquer the world with a sword. However, the passage of time allowed her to gradually see herself clearly.
The thirty-two-year-old Princess Luolin was still a warrior in the early stage of the Bone Sloughing Realm, and the realm of Grandmaster was far away. Later, the death of the Iron Sword King was a heavy blow, making Princess Luolin gradually look down on the rights and interests of fame and wealth.
Now she still stays in Nanku City, just to inherit her father's last wish and assist the fourth prince in ascending to the throne.
"Your Highness, you are a man of great wealth. You must not risk your life. I am just a woman. Even if I kneel in front of Qin Xuan's house, I will only be subject to some rumors." Princess Luolin said word by word.
"Are they just some rumors?" The fourth prince turned around and looked at Princess Luolin.
After practicing together with Princess Luolin on the island in the middle of the lake for twenty years, how could he not know what a proud woman the cousin in front of him was.
How could Princess Luolin bear the humiliation of kneeling in front of Qin Xuan's mansion in front of everyone? In the end, even if she didn't kneel and die in front of Qin Xuan's mansion, she would kill herself.
"Sister Luolin, if my throne was obtained at the cost of your humiliation, then you don't have to take the throne." The fourth prince walked up to Princess Luolin and held her hands, "Uncle Wang.
If I die, you can no longer sacrifice, leave this matter to me, and I will give Qin Xuan a satisfactory answer."
Princess Luolin wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the fourth prince.
There was a long period of silence in the dormitory.
Suddenly, there were footsteps again.
"Your Highness, the Lord of Linghu City wishes to see you." The maid said softly.
"It's time for him to come!" The fourth prince took a deep breath, "Let him come in."
After a while, Linghu Xiang walked into the bedroom.
Seeing Princess Luolin standing aside, there was no trace of surprise in Linghu Xiang's eyes, "Your Highness, He Min has finished the trial. Do you want to inform General Qin of the news?"
"No need, I will tell you personally." The fourth prince shook his head.
"Then how should He Min deal with it?" Linghu Xiang asked next.
"Since General Qin has given you full authority to handle the matter, it is up to you to decide. You must give General Qin a satisfactory answer." The fourth prince said solemnly.
"
I understand." Linghu Xiang bowed and stepped back.
After walking out of the dormitory, Linghu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and felt relaxed.
In today's Nanku City, I am afraid that only Linghu Xiang is the most relaxed!
With Qin Xuan's promise, he can protect himself no matter how the situation develops.
If the fourth prince wins, he will still be the lord of Nanku City, and he has the ability to protect the emperor. At least he will be made a count.
If the second prince wins, Qin Xuan will be king side by side, hereditary and irreplaceable. With so many cities, Qin Xuan will definitely not be able to manage them. If he follows behind, there is no problem in continuing to be the lord of Xiaoyao City.
"How could I be so wise in the first place and take refuge under the general? No matter how things change, I have a way out." Linghu Xiang thought of this and his steps became much lighter.
His fat figure actually looked somewhat muscular.
…
Nanku City was peaceful for two days. On the third day, the fourth prince finally walked out of the dormitory and went straight to Qin Xuan's mansion.
"I respectfully welcome the Fourth Highness. Your Highness, please follow me." The guards guarding the door of the mansion saw the Fourth Prince appear and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Another guard ran towards the house in a tacit understanding.
"No need, I'll wait at the door." The fourth prince said softly.
"How can this be done? Your Highness is a man of wealth." The guard said anxiously.
There is only the principle of ministers waiting for the king, how can there be the principle of the king waiting for the ministers?
The fourth prince shook his head and said nothing, and the guard did not dare to persuade him again for fear of saying the wrong thing.
This stop lasts two hours.
What is curious is that the street in front of Qin Xuan Mansion used to be a bustling street with people coming and going, but today it is empty. It seems that someone has cleared away the vendors and pedestrians in advance.
In the backyard, Qin Xuan was enjoying tea, and from time to time a guard came over to report the situation outside the door.
"Husband, if you don't want to see him, why don't you just send someone to reply? Why keep him outside the house all the time? These guards come over and say a few words from time to time, which makes me upset." Yue Xin said.
After Qin Xuan came back from the North City Gate two days ago, he told Yue Xin what happened.
Yue Xin had long known about Zhen Yi's expulsion from the island in the middle of the lake. Now that she heard the truth, her hatred for the fourth prince and Princess Luolin was even deeper than Qin Xuan's.
If it is really because of lack of strength and he is expelled from the school, that's it!
At that time, Zhenyi could have stayed on the island in the middle of the lake and practiced with the master, but he was forced to do so by the fourth prince.
He objected to Princess Luolin and lost his qualifications as a disciple.
The most ridiculous thing is that the reason is actually a woman, and the price paid is just a South China Sea night pearl.
"He is just an accomplice, he is not the culprit. Besides, without him, how could I have met you? After all, you are still our matchmaker!" Qin Xuan said with a smile.
"But it was him who did it after all." Yue Xin couldn't understand.
"Madam, your vision is still shallow!" Qin Xuan drank the tea in the cup.
"I'm just a little woman. I don't understand your men's thoughts. Anyway, if he hurts you, he has to pay the price." Yue Xin said stubbornly.
"Madam, the teapot is empty. Go get me two jars of wine. I want to drink today." Qin Xuan said.
"Okay." Yue Xin walked out of the pavilion and walked towards the cellar where the wine was stored.
Watching Yue Xin leave far away, Qin Xuan said loudly, "Where are the guards? Go and invite the fourth prince in."
"Yes, General." The guard who had been waiting outside the courtyard quickly ran to the front yard.
A moment later, the fourth prince, who was in a mess, walked into the Deadwood Courtyard. He was obviously not in good spirits. He had hardly slept in the past few days.
"Your Highness, please sit down." Qin Xuan raised his head and looked at the fourth prince with a smile.
"General Qin, He Min confessed!" the fourth prince said.
"Your Highness, please take a seat first. My wife is going to get the wine. It is a century-old daughter's red. It was given by the Lord of Linghu City. Your Highness, please try it."
"Thank you, General Qin." The fourth prince sat on the stone bench, looking a little reserved.
He didn't talk about He Min anymore. Since Qin Xuan interrupted him, he obviously didn't want to talk about it. In this case, why should he bring trouble to himself.
Soon, Yue Xin brought two wine jars sealed with wax mud.
Qin Xuan opened the wine jar and placed a jar in front of the fourth prince.
"Your Highness, did you come to me just for He Min's confession?" Qin Xuan asked.
"General Qin, I did what happened back then, and Princess Luolin was also ordered by me. Even if General Qin wants to kill me today, I will never resist." The fourth prince said solemnly.
"Okay, since Your Highness has said so, drink this wine!" Qin Xuan took out a packet of medicinal powder and poured it into the wine jar in front of the fourth prince. "This is heart-eating poison. It is rare and can kill slough."
After a Bone Realm warrior drinks the poison, his internal organs will be corroded continuously until he dies in pain."
