Chapter 369 The Assassin's Origin
Situ He observed her expression bit by bit, although he was still not completely relieved, but the effect was so obvious, how could he not believe it?
The medicine was brought to him by Li Shu's younger sister Li Li yesterday. She also told him the details of Jing Xiaobai's poisoning. Like everyone else, he only knew that Jing Xiaobai had been poisoned, but he didn't expect this The poison of mei cannot be eradicated, and she can only marry one man in her life.He didn't believe it at the time, thought Li Li was lying to him, so he didn't take it too seriously, Li Li's little girl actually cried, saying that he must believe her words.

He took the medicine back to the general's mansion and thought about it for a long time. He tasted one first and slept peacefully all night without any discomfort. Deliberately set up a situation?After listening to Jing Xiaobai's request just now, he wanted to ask Li Li for clarification, but Jing Xiaobai couldn't wait, how could he see her in pain?Now, Situ He's heart is tightened, he is worried that something will happen to Jing Xiaobai.

"Hey, I'm much better now. This medicine really works." Bai Lijing forced a smile.

"Yeah." Situ He responded, stroking her head: "I have to watch for him for a day and a night. If I can't hold on, I'll rest and rest. I'll have to work hard for the burial tomorrow. Your body is not as good as before, and your face is thinner faster Gone."

"Don't worry, I can hold on. There are still many things to do." Bailijing smiled at him, but there was a chill in his eyes.

Situ He got up from the bed, picked up the long sword on the ground, inserted it into his waist, and said, "Something happened at the West Qin posthouse last night. Someone wanted to assassinate the West Qin envoy, but the assassin was captured. Someone swallowed the poison on the spot, and someone killed himself by biting his tongue. The remaining tongue was cut off, and I didn’t have the strength to kill myself again, but torture didn’t work, so it’s a bit tricky.”

"Why would someone assassinate the envoy of Xiqin in Daxing Shengjing?" Bai Lijing was puzzled, and frowned: "They don't want Xiqin and Daxing to befriend?"

Situ He looked different. He looked back at her and said, "Jing Xiaobai, if Emperor Xiqin comes to propose marriage, and His Majesty and aunt have already agreed, would you marry Emperor Xiqin as his queen?"

Mingming and Lishu reminded him not to ask, and he also knew that Jing Xiaobai's marriage should not be mentioned again at this juncture, but this was a long-standing nightmare in Situ He's heart. He had been afraid of it for many years, but it finally came true. He is the same as many years ago, he can only watch and still can't do anything.

Bai Lijing frowned puzzled: "The Great Emperor Xiqin came to propose marriage? Want to marry me?"

She knew that what He said was never groundless. Since he asked, there must be some truth. However, she shook her head self-deprecatingly, and said very resolutely: "No, I will never leave Daxing in my life. I was born here and grew up in Daxing. Here, I will grow old here and die here. Here are my family and my relatives, my father, queen mother, He, my uncle, and Li Shu and the others... Moreover, once Mo Wen dies, I am already broken. The idea of ​​remarrying, I don't want anyone to be crowned with the title of 'Jing Consort', I always feel...he will be unhappy."

As she talked, when it came to Mo Wen, her eyes were red again.

Situ He listened in a daze, stepped forward and hugged her, patted her on the back with one hand, and sighed: "Okay, then I won't marry, whatever you like, whatever you like." Anyway, he will love her forever. Guard her, as long as she is well, he will accept anything.

When Bai Lijing returned to the mourning hall and stood beside Mo Wen's coffin, Situ He went to the Uncle Guo's mansion to look for Li Li.Arriving at the gate of the Uncle Guo’s Mansion, he ordered someone to go in to report. The servants in front of the Uncle Guo’s Mansion saw him and looked at each other for a long time. After all, the Situ family and the Li family were deadly enemies for a while, and the little general of the Situ family actually condescended to come to the gate It's really strange to visit.

Not long after, Li Shu rushed out in a hurry. He was quite surprised and said to Situ He who was on the horseback: "What's the matter? I haven't taken the initiative to take a step in front of my house in these years. I'm bewitched today." ?”

Situ He was not in the mood to play tricks with Li Shu, and was about to get off his horse when his personal guard suddenly came and whispered something to him, Situ He tightened his reins, turned his horse's head, and said, "Go back and have a look." .”

He said, looking back at Li Shu, some things are really hard to say, especially in such a large crowd, so he frowned, raised his voice and said to Li Shu: "I'll come back tomorrow."

"Hey! He..." Li Shu didn't even complete a sentence, and the Maxima "Feisha" had already taken Situ He away, and Li Shu looked at his hasty back, feeling very inexplicable: "Hey, one day The sun and the earth are so mysterious, there is no way to live this day! I am so out of breath!"

In the imperial study room, officials of the third rank and above in Daxing were arguing endlessly, surrounding the assassination of the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty.

In front of Emperor Jing Yuan, there were more than ten documents. Among them, Xie Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Yang Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, were written. Xie and Yang are now relatives of their sons and daughters, and there is no difference in their political opinions. Have evil intentions.Their reason is very good. The intention of Daxing to make friends with Xiqin's envoy this time is too obvious. In the past, only weak countries cling to strong countries. Why did Xiqin take the initiative to show hospitality to Daxing instead of the previous tough style?

Everyone remembers the rare treasures that the Western Qin envoy presented to Emperor Jing Yuan, as well as the words of praise to Princess Jing and the son-in-law, but the son-in-law encountered an accident the next day, so it can be seen that there is nothing wrong with being courteous or stealing.Now that the envoys of Xiqin are at a disadvantage in the name of being assassinated, no one can predict what their intentions are, trying to stir up the political situation in Daxing, and pretending that someone is trying to prevent Daxing from making friends with Xiqin. countermeasures?
The other group of people is completely opposite to Yang and Xie. They agree with Xiqin's sincerity in taking the initiative to make friends with Xiqin.The kings and ministers of the Western Qin Dynasty have always been calm, and they will never leave so many handles for people to grasp. It is clear that the national power of the Western Qin Dynasty is higher than that of Daxing. , why make such a thankless move?On the contrary, some people had ulterior motives and asked Daxing to be on guard against Xiqin, and even turned against Xiqin in order to fulfill their ambitions!
Each insisted on their own words, and the spearhead was nothing more than the foreign vassal king Jinyang who returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and the neighboring country Xiqin. No matter which side, it was a hidden danger for Emperor Jingyuan.The envoys of the Western Qin Dynasty have already entered Shengjing, and the king of Jinyang, the foreign feudal clan, is already on his way... If he makes a mistake, he will be lost forever.

Seeing that Emperor Jingyuan was silent, Xie Yan came out and said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the ambition of Western Qin has been clearly revealed. First, Prince Jinyang's son was assassinated and almost died, and then Prince Jing's son-in-law died in vain. The timing is so coincidental. It's all because the Western Qin sent an envoy to the east. Moreover, someone sent a secret report saying that the Western Qin envoy who was sent to Daxing this time was originally a chef in charge of the spoon, and the emperor of the Western Qin actually appointed a cook as a special envoy. It is clear that he did not take Daxing seriously Li! The two countries are fighting, if you don’t kill the envoy, if Daxing sees through the secrets of the Western Qin Dynasty, the envoy will definitely not be able to retreat completely. If he orders the cook to be the special envoy of the front, even if he is exposed, he will not lose his troops and generals. Your Majesty has clearly observed, made a decision early, and must not let the ambition of West Qin succeed!"
