I am Yuan Niaoniao

After being in a coma for dozens of days, Siyu finally woke up a little. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qiong Zhenxi and Xuanzhi by her bed, but there was no sign of Han Junyi.

After swallowing, he slowly said, "Father, mother, where is the prince consort?"

"You're awake!" Seeing Siyu finally wake up, Qiong Zhenxi quickly called the palace maid to bring some water: "Hurry up and drink some water, your mouth looks dry."

Siyu also felt that her throat was too dry, so she did not resist and slowly drank the water the maid fed her. Then she waved her hand and said, "Okay, that's enough."

"Yes, Princess." The maid took the water and retreated.

Qiong Zhenxi hurriedly sat forward and gently helped Siyu up: "Yu'er, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Mother, I'm fine!" Si Yu smiled, signaling Qiong Zhenxi to rest assured, and then asked, "Why don't you see the prince consort?"

Xuan Zhi saw Si Yu repeatedly mentioning Han Jun Yi and hurriedly said, "Yu'er, you have been unconscious for several days. The prince consort was worried about you, so he consulted ancient books and went out to find herbs to cure the poison for you. You should just wait in the palace and take care of yourself."

"Yes, the prince consort is worried about you." Qiong Zhenxi quickly joined in.

Remembering that Han Junyi had once found medicinal herbs for her, she believed what they said without a doubt, thinking that Han Junyi went out to find herbs because he felt sorry for her.

At night, Qiong Zhenxi asked Xuanzhi with a worried look on her face: "Now that Yu'er has woken up, if we still can't find the whereabouts of the Prince Consort, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it a secret for long, Yu'er!"

"There's nothing we can do. It's as if Han Junyi disappeared out of thin air. We can't find any trace of him!" Xuan Zhi also looked worried.

After all, truth cannot be hidden. Siyu has been awake for more than a month, but still can't find any trace of Han Junyi. She begins to feel something is wrong: "Huihui, tell me honestly, where did the prince consort go?"

Huihui knelt down on the ground immediately: "I don't know anything. I only know that the Prince Consort went out of the palace to look for herbs while the princess was in a coma. As for why he didn't come back for so long, maybe he didn't find any herbs. I don't know anything else!"

Seeing this, Si Yu had no choice but to bypass Hui Hui. She would definitely not lie to her, but there was no reason for Han Jun Yi to be out for so long without any news, so she ran to Qiong Zhen Xi's palace and said, "Mother, where did the prince consort go?"

"Didn't I tell you to go out and look for herbs?" Qiong Zhenxi felt a little guilty, but still pretended to be calm, picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea.

"No, no, it's impossible!" Siyu shook her head violently, tears rolling down her cheeks. She tightly grasped Qiong Zhenxi's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, this can't be true, right? How could the prince consort disappear? He is so strong, so brave..."

Seeing her daughter in pain, Qiong Zhenxi felt heartbroken. She gently stroked Siyu's hair and comforted her, "Yu'er, don't be too sad. We have sent people to look for the whereabouts of the prince consort. I believe there will be news soon."

However, Siyu could not accept this fact. She shook her head frantically and cried, "No, mother, you must be lying to me! The prince consort will be fine, he will not leave me! He promised to stay with me forever..."

Qiong Zhenxi sighed helplessly, her eyes full of worry and heartache. She knew that no matter how many words she said, it would not be able to calm Siyu's inner pain. She could only accompany her daughter silently. "Yu'er!" Seeing Siyu's collapse, Qiong Zhenxi couldn't hold it anymore. With red eyes, she went forward and hugged Siyu tightly: "Yu'er, I don't know why the prince consort suddenly disappeared. Your father has ordered a full-scale search. Don't worry, the prince consort will be found!"

Siyu lay in Qiong Zhenxi's arms, her sobs echoing in the room. Her heart seemed to be torn into pieces, and she was enveloped by endless sadness and despair. At this time, the sunlight outside the window shone through the clouds, but it could not warm Siyu's cold and broken heart.

...........................

"Your Majesty, Gu Ruochen requests to see you." Ming Xiao stepped forward and said.

"Gu Ruochen? Why is he back again?" Chen Shaoyi raised his head in confusion, frowned, and a sense of doubt and vigilance surged in his heart. He gently put down the file in his hand, looked at Ming Xiao with sharp eyes, and asked in a serious tone: "Where is he?"

Ming Xiao bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully: "He is outside the palace now."

Chen Shaoyi frowned even more tightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself that he was very surprised that Gu Ruochen could break through the national checkpoint and return to the country. He knew that Gu Ruochen had a special identity and must have a plan for this trip.

Chen Shaoyi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and after thinking for a moment, he decisively ordered: "Pass the order down, the border gates will be guarded and patrolled more strictly, and any suspicious persons are strictly prohibited from entering or leaving. Also, all soldiers guarding the gate through which Gu Ruochen came in will be fined one month's salary." His voice was filled with unquestionable majesty, revealing that he attached great importance to national security.

Ming Xiao responded, "Yes, sir!" Then he turned and left to convey Chen Shaoyi's order.

Chen Shaoyi stood quietly there, looking out the window with cold eyes. After a while, Chen Shaoyi spoke again and said to the air: "Bring him into the palace." His voice was calm and low, but full of irresistible power.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" A voice sounded and then someone left from the darkness.

Soon Gu Ruochen was taken to a remote palace to wait, and Chen Shaoyi took a long time to arrive at the palace.

"Why are you back? You know I told you that if you come back again, I will not let you off easily!" Chen Shaoyi said in a threatening tone.

"Your Highness Prince Chen, ah, no, now I should call you the Emperor." Gu Ruochen turned around and looked at Chen Shaoyi.

"You are not afraid of death." Chen Shaoyi said coldly.

"I've brought you a gift." Gu Ruochen said expressionlessly. Then he opened the box containing Han Junyi's head.

Chen Shaoyi glanced at the head in the box and frowned. Because he died of poisoning and bleeding from all seven orifices, Han Junyi's head was now black and purple, which was a bit creepy! "Han Junyi."

"He killed my brother and sister-in-law and cut off their heads. I was just retaliating." Gu Ruochen still said calmly: "But I think maybe this head may be useful to you, Your Majesty."

"What do you want to exchange from me?" Chen Shaoyi looked at Gu Ruochen.

"The life of the Emperor Dadu." Gu Ruochen said angrily.

"Why?" Uncle Rong? Chen Shaoyi was a little puzzled, because if he remembered correctly, Gu Yunmu and Hong Li were subordinates of Prince Rong, so why did they want to deal with Prince Rong?

"In order to use me to get rid of Han Junyi, Prince Rong deliberately sent Yun Mu and Hong Li to Tianqi to attend the wedding banquet of Han Junyi and Siyu. Isn't this obviously sending them to their deaths? He predicted that Yun Mu would fail. As long as Han Junyi kills Yun Mu, I will definitely avenge Yun Mu, and then his goal will be achieved!" Gu Ruochen now had some hatred in his eyes, but he had no expression just now.

So that's how it is. Chen Shaoyi frowned and said, "You should know that Han Rongzhen and I are related by blood. I can't help you with this."

Unexpectedly, Han Rongzhen actually had a connection with Chen Shaoyi. The light in Gu Ruochen's eyes dimmed.

"I will not get involved in the hatred between you." Chen Shaoyi said coldly and turned away. The implication was that if Gu Ruochen wanted to seek revenge on Han Rongzhen, he had to rely on his own ability and he would not help.

Gu Ruochen, who had just felt hopeless, had a gleam in his eyes again. He still had a chance. Even if he and Han Rongzhen were both injured, he would give it a try. Then he turned around and left. As soon as he left the city gate, Ming Xiao stepped forward and grabbed him.

Gu Ruochen stopped his horse and looked at Ming Xiao: "What do you want?"

Ming Xiao did not speak, but led another horse forward, then jumped away. Seeing Ming Xiao's back, Gu Ruochen dismounted and went forward to check, only to see that it was a Ferghana horse with some dry food and food. Gu Ruochen had tears in his eyes and shouted loudly: "Thank you!" Then he rode this good horse and hurried away.

Yuan Niaoniao and Chen Shaoyi looked at Gu Yunmu's departing back.

"Are you really not going to help Uncle Rong?" Yuan Niaoniao asked.

"I won't help him anymore. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God. This is the result of his own evil deeds. Moreover, Gu Ruochen was able to take down Uncle Rong single-handedly. That was also Uncle Rong's own fate. Besides, if I help him stop one Gu Ruochen today, there will be another Gu Ruochen tomorrow. How much can I help?" Chen Shaoyi shook his head and said with a smile.

"Then it depends on Gu Ruochen's ability and Uncle Rong's fate." Yuan Niao Niao also smiled: "Have you sent someone to send Han Junyi's head to Xue Yao's grave for sacrifice?"

"Yes, it's too ugly, so I won't let you see it." Chen Shaoyi said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that Han Junyi's grand blueprint had just started again, and Gu Ruochen helped him end it." Yuan Niao Niao said with a sigh.

"Si Yu will be going down to accompany him soon!" Chen Shaoyi said with a cold look in his eyes.

"Yan Muyu is still as unsympathetic as ever, and he directly put a death poison on Siyu." Yuan Niaoniao thought of what Siyu had done to her, and she didn't sympathize with her at all. If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Zhenyuan's family, she might have died. How could she be so happy today?

"I don't know how to be gentle with women. Siyu also has the right to know the news of Han Junyi's death." Chen Shaoyi said lightly, and the secret guards left in secret.

.............................

When the news reached Tianqi, the people sent by Xuanzhi also "successfully" found a few things that had not been burned by the fire in a pile of black charcoal that could prove Han Junyi's identity, and hurriedly brought them back to the palace.

Looking at the tokens and jade pendants on the table, Siyu's eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground.

"Yu'er!" Qiong Zhenxi hugged the unconscious Siyu with heartache, and Xuanzhi also looked at those objects with a heavy face.

"But who did it?" Xuan Zhi looked at the secret guard beside him.

"Reporting to the emperor. According to my investigation, the reason why the prince consort suffered this misfortune was that he killed the assassins who entered the palace and were captured on the day of his wedding, and sent the assassins' heads back to Dadu. The two assassins were named Gu Yunmu and Hong Li, from the Yi tribe. The one who avenged the prince consort for them was Gu Ruochen, an elder of the Yi tribe and Gu Yunmu's brother. The grudge between the prince consort and the two assassins is related to the current king of Dadu." The secret guard reported the information he had collected to Xuanzhi one by one.

After listening to this, Xuanzhi sighed heavily and said solemnly: "Give him a state funeral." "Yes, Your Majesty." The two eunuchs immediately turned around and left.

Not long ago, the news that the prince consort died of illness spread throughout Tianqi. Many people had never seen this prince consort of Tianqi, and now the emperor of Tianqi wants everyone to mourn for him for three days. For a while, the streets and alleys were full of discussions.

"I think the princess is a jinx to her husband!" said a woman.

"You bastard, stop talking nonsense!" The man next to her immediately covered her mouth.

"He died young. What a pity that the princess has to be a widow at such a young age." A passerby shook his head with a look of regret.

"That's right!" Someone nodded in agreement.

"But we can't blame the princess. After all, no one wants something like this to happen." said another person.

"That's right, and I heard that the prince consort died of illness. What does it have to do with the princess?" someone else echoed.

"But the princess is so pitiful. She lost her husband at such a young age. What will she do in the future?" someone asked worriedly.

"Yes, I hope the princess can be strong and get through this difficult time." someone said.

"Yes, yes, we should also pray for the princess and hope that she can get out of her sadness as soon as possible." Others expressed their agreement.

Siyu has a very high reputation among the people of Tianqi, and many people spontaneously pray for her.

Since Siyu learned of Han Junyi's death, she has been crying every day, unable to eat, and depressed, which has triggered the recurrence of the poison in her body.

Qiong Zhenxi and Xuanzhi were so anxious that they didn't know what to do.

"Your Majesty! Yu'er can't go on like this!" said Qiong Zhenxi with red eyes.

"I know, I feel bad too!" Xuan Zhi sat weakly on the dragon throne, staring blankly ahead, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulging. His heart was filled with helplessness and pain, but as the king of a country, he had to take responsibility.

After a long while, Xuanzhi slowly said: "I will personally go to the Emperor of Yuan to ask for forgiveness! And then I will ask for help from the Emperor of Zhao!" His voice was low and firm, as if he had already made plans for the worst.

"It's hard for you, Your Majesty!" Seeing Xuanzhi working so hard, Qiong Zhenxi felt very uncomfortable. She knew what Xuanzhi's move meant. Not only did it require giving up dignity and face, it might also bring greater losses to the country. But at this moment, they had no choice but to hope that this way could calm the anger of the two countries.

"Your Majesty, I will go with you!" Qiong Zhenxi said softly. She didn't want Xuanzhi to face such a predicament alone, and she was willing to bear the pressure with him.

Xuanzhi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can go alone, you stay and take care of the harem and the people. If anything happens to me, you must support Yu'er to inherit the throne, don't let me down!" After saying that, he looked at Qiong Zhenxi deeply, his eyes full of reluctance.

Qiong Zhenxi burst into tears. She knew Xuanzhi was in great danger, but she couldn't stop him. She held Xuanzhi's hand tightly and said with a sob, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Xuanzhi gently patted Qiong Zhenxi's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't cry!"

The two hugged each other and cried. . . .

Qiong Zhenxi looked at Xuanzhi's departing back, her vision blurred by tears. She knew that this farewell might be a farewell forever, but she was powerless. She could only pray silently to God to protect Xuanzhi's safety and return soon. "Get up!"

Xuanzhi set out for Yuan State soon. . . . .
