The old emperor's illness did not heal because of the safe return of Princess Min Ruoxi of Zhaohua, on the contrary, after a few days of seemingly energetic spirits, it withered at a faster rate, and it was worse day by day. That time seemed to be a return to the light.

Lying on the bed, with his eyes half-open and half-closed, he will fall into a semi-comatose state anytime and anywhere, but as long as he is awake, his thoughts are extremely clear. Min Ruoying has been waiting in front of the hospital bed, not daring to leave half a step.

"Ruoying, how are the people involved in this matter now?" The Emperor asked softly.

"Father, rest assured, the people who are really involved in this matter, except for Luo Liang and Yang Yi, the rest of the people are all dead." Min Ruoying said in a low voice: "Luo Liang's son can rest assured. Yang Yi, when the situation calms down, his son will make another arrangement. ”

"Ma Xiangdong, Guo Jiuling, they don't know?"

"They only know the superficial part, and in their hearts, they all think that this matter was done by the eldest brother." Min Ruoying was a little proud, these two were his henchmen, but this time, even these two were kept in the dark.

"You are also thoughtful, whether it is Ma Xiangdong or Guo Jiuling, they are all courtiers worthy of trust, they are different from Luo Liang, if they know your behavior this time, I am afraid that they will be separated from you." The emperor sighed: "Ruoying, if I were still in good health, I would never allow you to do this, but unfortunately, I don't have time anymore." ”

Min Ruoying lowered her head.

"It's enough for you to be ruthless, but you have to remember that as an emperor, you must not only be ruthless, but also have leniency and leniency, so that you can coexist in harmony.

"My son remembered." Min Ruoying nodded.

"Don't let Xi'er know about this matter. Even if she's your sister, you know? The emperor's voice was weak, "She is simple-hearted, don't let her be covered with dirt, treat her well." ”

"My son only has this one sister, so she will naturally live the best life in the world, so my father can rest assured!"

"That Qin Feng, you have to deal with it properly, I see that your sister is very attentive to him, slowly enlightened, don't be in a hurry."

"My son saved." Min Ruoying nodded, and when she mentioned Qin Feng, she couldn't help but think of the death camp, and when she thought of the death camp, she remembered the emergency report she had just received today, Xin gradually left the errand and smashed it, and hundreds of people in the death camp actually broke out of the encirclement and escaped, which cannot but be said to be a big hidden danger. This matter still needs to be cleaned up from beginning to end.

The method mentioned in Xin Yanli's letter is quite feasible, and this person is still a little anxious, the death camp has a big enmity with the Western Qin border army, this time after they escaped, the only place to go is to flee to the Luoying Mountains, and hand them over to the West Qin border army to solve, the cost is just some silver money, grain and grass, and it is expected that those poor West Qin border army will be happy to exterminate the remnants of this death camp. can take revenge, and there is a reward to be paid, and those poor ghosts will not be unmoved.

But after coming back, this Xin gradually left still to punish him heavily, and this thing can be done like this, which is really annoying.

"Princess, slow down. Princess, the little one will inform you. Outside, Qin Yi's somewhat panicked voice came, Min Ruoying's heart moved, she stood up, just turned around, and with a bang, the door was slammed open, and Min Ruoxi appeared in front of him with an angry face.

"Xi'er, what are you doing? I don't know if my father can't stand the noise now? Min Ruoying's eyebrows raised, she glared at Min Ruoxi, and scolded: "It's really used to you being lawless." ”

Min Ruoxi stood at the door, looked at Min Ruoying, and then turned her eyes to her father on the bed, and her eyes gradually turned red.

"Second brother, I only want to ask you, where is Qin Feng now?" She choked up.

Min Ruoying's eyes contracted: "Xi'er, what did you say?" ”

"Second brother, do you still want to lie to me? I saw Guo Jiuling today, he is back, he is waiting for you to summon him on Shouyang Mountain, I heard that he is back, I specially went to thank him for his return to the Luoying Mountains, but I don't want to let me hear something I can't believe, you, still want to hide from me, lie to me? Min Ruoxi burst into tears.

"Xi'er, come in and talk!" On the bed, the old emperor shouted in a low voice.

Min Ruoxi sobbed and entered the house, walked to the bed, and knelt down in front of the emperor's couch with a poppy: "Father, you want to be the master of Xi'er!" ”

The emperor stretched out his thin hand and gently stroked Min Ruoxi's tearful face, "Xi'er, why do you think your second brother wanted to arrest Qin Feng?" ”

"I know, he can't see that I like Qin Feng, he thinks that an orphan like Qin Feng, such a poor soldier is not worthy of me at all, so he wants to kill Qin Feng, which makes me miss it." Min Ruoxi stared at Min Ruoying fiercely, as if she was about to swallow her brother in one gulp.

"It's really a girl who is outgoing, and a woman who is not staying." Min Ruoying on the side shook her head and said.

"Xi'er, you're wrong." The emperor said lightly: "The arrest of Qin Feng is not only your second brother's idea, but also my order. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, Min Ruoxi couldn't help but marvel, and sat down on the ground with a bang, "Father! She cried out, her voice filled with panic and despair.

"But the reason is not because Qin Feng is a poor soldier, a small captain, my Min family made a fortune, but it is only more than a hundred years ago, more than a hundred years ago, wasn't my Min ancestor a poor soldier?" The Emperor laughed. "Ruoying, tell Xi'er about the specific things, I'm tired."

"Father, rest, I'll tell the second sister." Min Ruoying walked to the bed and gently tucked the quilt for the emperor.

"Second sister, I am helpless about this matter." Min Ruoying pulled Min Ruoxi up from the ground, "The eldest brother betrayed the Western Frontier Army, causing the 60,000 Western Army to die in one fell in one day, and Zuo Shuai also died in the Ying Mountain Range, you should be clear now, right?" ”

"Of course I know, but what does this have to do with Qin Feng?" Min Ruoxi said.

Min Ruoying sighed: "Xi'er, are you going to let your second brother announce the truth of this matter to the world?" If the truth is revealed to the world, how can the face of the Min dynasty remain? Where does the majesty of the imperial court remain? ”

Min Ruoxi raised her head and stared at Min Ruoying, she already understood something in her heart, and her face became even paler.

"If I kill my relatives in righteousness and announce this matter to the world, then what should I do with my eldest brother? 60,000 border troops were killed, Anyang County was slaughtered, tens of millions of people were looted, and the western gateway of Great Chu was opened. ”

Min Ruoxi's body couldn't help but tremble violently.

"So, I can only find a scapegoat for my eldest brother, and it is only fitting that the death camp can be this scapegoat." Min Ruoxi's expression turned sharp, "The western border army is all dead, and only the dare to die camp survives alone, this is already unreasonable, right?" The partial death camp is also composed of some criminals who have committed capital crimes, such people, no matter how big the crime is on them, the people of Dachu will also take it for granted and feel reasonable. ”

"Even if you want to use the death camp as a scapegoat, why do you have to drag Qin Feng into it?" Min Ruoxi hissed.

"Sister, Qin Feng is the captain of the death camp, the chief officer, and as far as I know, this person's prestige in the death camp is quite high, do you think that the death camp is used as a scapegoat, but the commander of the first battalion has no idea, is this possible? Isn't this a way to give people a word to say? ”

"Qin Feng escorted me all the way, going through life and death tribulations, this is also a well-known thing, who would believe him if he is a traitor?" Min Ruoxi argued.

"This is exactly the cunning of the Western Qin people!" Min Ruoying sneered, "A Liu Zhen was caught by us, they were thieves and deliberately sent Qin Feng to escort you to escape, otherwise under such a large-scale pursuit by the Western Qin people, how could he, a guy with a mere sixth-level martial arts cultivation in Qin Feng, escape the pursuit of a ninth-level master like Deng Pu?" They just came out as an appearance, so that after this Qin Feng returned to Great Chu, he would be rewarded for this and enter the top echelons of my Great Chu military, so as to plot against my Great Chu again! ”

"You, you ......" Min Ruoxi looked at his second brother, and his big eyes were full of disbelief. Second brother, how can you be so shameless, he is your sister's savior, and also your sister's intended person, do you want me to have a bad conscience and be sad for the rest of my life? ”

Min Ruoying's face became serious: "Xi'er, don't forget, you are a member of the Min clan, you are a royal family, you were born with the glory of the Min clan on your shoulders, the rise and fall of the Min clan is closely related to you, the dignity of the Min clan, the life of your eldest brother, between the rivers and mountains of Great Chu and Qin Feng, you need to choose a side, tell the second brother, which side do you choose?" ”

Min Ruoxi looked at Min Ruoxi, her lips trembled, and her eyes were full of despair.

Min Ruoying approached her side and said in a low voice: "Sister, long pain is better than short pain, you just met him when you were the weakest and most helpless, forget him!" ”

Min Ruoxi stared at Min Ruoying, slowly retreated step by step, shaking her head as she retreated, "Second brother, you are wrong, I can't forget him, and I won't allow you to kill him, if you want to kill him, kill me too!" ”

Dropping these words, Min Ruoxi suddenly turned around and rushed out.

"Princess, princess!" Qin Yi's panicked cry came from outside.

"It seems that Xi'er really has real feelings for this Qin Feng." Behind him, the voice of the old emperor was heard.

Min Ruoying didn't look back: "Father, don't worry, Xi'er can't go down Shouyang Mountain." She just can't think about it for a while, and I'll let someone explain her. ”
