Chapter 683
Facing the imperial guards rushing into the hall, the Third Prince, who had not yet shaken off his fear, felt as though he was sifting through chaff.

Prince Chu also had eyes full of fear.

Bo Lang-jun knew the meaning of Qiu Zijun's last look at him.

"Take down Director He who is suspected of murdering the King of Chu! Crown Prince Chu will take over the government for the time being. After the emperor makes an order, he will succeed the King of Chu!"

The fact that Ji Lian'er took the jug from Manager He to pour wine for Prince Chu under the watchful eyes of everyone was noticed by everyone present at that time.It is most appropriate to use him as a scapegoat.

What's more, the wine in his hands is poisonous, and he himself can't get rid of it!
Qiu Zijun looked at Mr. Bo Lang before he died, and asked him to try his best to protect his concubine and son.The reason why he drank the poisoned wine in public was to prevent other people from arresting the person he wanted to protect on the spot, let alone to prevent the third prince's scheme from succeeding!
"Not yet?"

Prince Chu had already woken up at that time.He stared at the guards led by Zhang Gan with eyes red from crying.

Manager He glanced at Qiu Zijun in Mr. Bo Lang's arms, then drew his sword and killed himself.

"Boss He committed suicide in fear of crime! This is the end of the matter! Hurry up and prepare for the funeral!"

There was sadness in Bo Langjun's voice.

Everyone present knelt down.They were mourning for Qiu Zijun.

Ji Lian'er's maidservant, who loves Director He deeply, slumped on the ground powerlessly, she was the one who put the poison into the jug.Not only did she kill the concubine and the king of Chu, but she also killed her beloved.

She heard what a person said to help her, but she didn't even see that person's face clearly.

Qiu Zijun's body was placed in the coffin.

There was a sound of mourning from all over the state of Chu.

Ji Lian'er had already woken up in Luo Jiaojiao's arms, but she was too weak and unable to speak due to excessive grief.

Mr. Bo Lang came to the queen's bedroom and asked Luo Jiaojiao and Hong Ye to escort Ji Lian'er out of the palace immediately.

Luo Jiaojiao got up and asked Bo Langjun if he knew that the wine was poisonous.

Bo Langjun closed his eyes and did not deny it.

"Why not save?"

Luo Jiaojiao poured all her anger on Bo Langjun.Qiu Zijun who loved her like a father and brother died, and she completely lost her mind.

"He chose to protect his princess and son, and I can only respect his choice."

Mr. Bo Lang let out a long sigh.

"You are lying! You are afraid that Master Qiu, who is both virtuous and talented, will threaten the one on the throne in the imperial city, so you will not save him!"

Luo Jiaojiao is usually careless and doesn't like to take care of things, but she has been influenced by her father Luo Yi since she was a child, and she has a clear understanding of political affairs.Usually she doesn't want to think about these things, but if she really puts her heart into it, she can figure it out clearly.

Mr. Bo Lang was poked at the sore spot, he couldn't help raising his brows and said:
"If you really care about Master Qiu, you must keep your promise to him! If you don't protect the princess and go out of the city now, I'm afraid you will betray his trust in you!"

"Prince Chu will not let your sister Ji go! The revenge of killing your father is irreconcilable!"

Bo Langjun's words made Ji Lian'er blurt out:
"not me!"

After she finished speaking, blood spurted from her mouth and fainted again.

"It doesn't matter whether you are or not! Prince Chu will not let go of what he decides!"

Mr. Bo Lang didn't see Li Zheng, and he already understood seven or eight points in his heart.I'm afraid Qiu Zijun's death has something to do with the secret door, he must have gone back to the secret door to find out.

Hongye stayed in the palace for a long time, she pulled Luo Jiaojiao to persuade her to send Ji Lian'er back to Hedong County first, and worry about the rest later.

Mr. Bo Lang went to help manage Qiu Zijun's funeral and stabilize the government of Chu State, so he had no time to take care of Ji Lian'er leaving the palace.

After the third prince returned to the mansion, he fell ill.This time, he was really sick.Although he hated Qiu Zijun, he never wanted him to die!The person he wanted to kill was Ji Lian'er, but he never thought that Qiu Zijun drank that cup of poisoned wine in order to save his beloved woman!

It's all that woman's fault!The third prince did not forget to kill Ji Lian'er while lying on the couch!He blamed all his faults on her.He sent someone to the palace to discuss the music with the guards guarding the palace gate secretly, not to let Ji Lian'er leave the palace.

This incident alarmed Prince Chu.He did not fulfill his promise to his father, but let people infer that he was keeping a vigil for his father and did not allow anyone to disturb him.

When Luo Jiaojiao saw that the guards guarding the palace gate couldn't let her go, she was so angry that she wanted to do something.

Hongye suddenly remembered the gold medal that Qiu Zijun gave her before his death.

She took out the gold token, which made all the guards guarding the palace gate kneel down, and no one dared to stop them from leaving the palace.

Hongye drove the carriage and ordered out of Pengcheng with a gold medal in hand.Although she didn't know where Li Zheng went, she believed that he was doing what he should do.

Li Zheng has indeed returned to the helm of the secret door.Qiu Zijun's death made him angrily go to the hunting ground to look for Uncle Yin.

Uncle Yin said that everything was explained on behalf of the head of the sect, if you are not convinced, go back to the main rudder and ask him to argue!

Full of anger, Li Zheng followed Uncle Yin back to the main helm of the secret door.

As soon as he entered the mountain gate, more than a thousand people knelt down to greet their sect master with the head of the secret sect on behalf of the sect master.

"Congratulations to the young master for inheriting the position of the secret door master!"

The sky-shattering voice woke up Li Zheng completely.

It turned out that all that the secret sect master had planned was for him to return to the mountain gate to succeed him as sect master.

He fell into deep guilt, always feeling that he was the one who killed Qiu Zijun.

Qiu Zijun's funeral was very grand.Mr. Bo Lang personally took care of everything, so that Mr. Qiu Zi was buried safely in the Tomb of the Chu Emperor.

The emperor was shocked when he heard this.Especially when he heard that Uncle Guo was still in the Palace of Chu State, he hurriedly declared the eldest princess and consort to the palace, and told them to go to Chu State immediately, so that Uncle Guo must be brought back to the imperial city safely.

The eldest princess and son-in-law Yang Zisheng feel that the opportunity to kill Bo Langjun has finally come.They immediately packed up and left the imperial city with their trusted guards.

At this moment, Mr. Bo Lang is left alone.

Prince Chu hadn't figured out how to treat this uncle, so he let him stay in the Watson Garden in the palace.

Mr. Bo Lang knew that the Third Prince would not allow him to leave Pengcheng alive, so he left Chu Palace overnight and came to the jade shop.

The boss of the jade shop said that the gate of Pengcheng's palace had been closed for two days, and he could only enter and not come out!

Mr. Bo Lang had no choice but to hide in the jade shop, waiting for the day when the city gate would be opened.

The eldest princess and Yang Zisheng came to investigate the cause of the death of the king of Chu, and the prince of Chu sent the little prince Ruxuan to lead people to welcome them into the palace.

The palace has unified the caliber according to the strategy of the country's uncle Bo Langjun, and everyone said that the king of Chu died of a sudden old illness.

The eldest princess and son-in-law Yang Zisheng came here for Mr. Bo Lang. How could they bother to find out the cause of Mr. Qiu's death?

They didn't see Mr. Bo Lang in Chu Palace, so they asked Prince Chu directly.

Prince Chu said that he was in Watson Garden.He took the eldest princess and Yang Zisheng to Huasheng Garden, but found that Mr. Bo Lang was gone.

"Where did this man go?"

The prince sent people to search around the palace to no avail.

"Where is his wife?"

The eldest princess asked suddenly.

"I went to Hedong County!"

Prince Chu's face suddenly changed.He was very reluctant to mention Ji Lian'er.He didn't expect his father to give her the gold medal order, which saved her from death.When he thought of this, he felt depressed!
"Since the King of Chu died of a relapse of an old disease, please let the Crown Prince of Chu express his condolences! This princess and the son-in-law will truthfully report to the emperor! Let me leave without disturbing you!"

The eldest princess and son-in-law Yang Zisheng bid farewell to Prince Chu, then left the palace and went straight to the city gate.

Bo Langjun disguised himself as a guard of the princess mansion and sneaked out of Pengcheng, and followed them to Hedong County.
