A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 493 The great revenge is avenged

At dawn, the city of Shangjing, which had been silent in the dark, was suddenly hit by a snowstorm. The wind howled and the snowflakes danced like a rampaging wild beast or evil spirits from hell, waking up the sleepers.

In Prince Han's mansion, the red silk wedding paper that had not yet been taken down was blown all over the floor by the strong wind, and the closed windows and doors banged from time to time. Several coughs were heard from the servants' rooms. Not long after, the candlelight dimmed, and Xiaochun and Helian came to Prince Han's bedroom with lanterns, shivering. After listening carefully for a long time, they did not hear the prince and the princess give any instructions, so they returned to their rooms with peace of mind, and could not help complaining about the sudden strong wind.

The bridal chamber was pitch black. Luo Ying waited until the servants left before she suddenly sat up. She held her breath and slowly turned her head to look at Yan Han, who was lying motionless beside her. After hesitating for a moment, she gently shook his shoulder with a trembling hand and called softly:

"Your Majesty?"

However, the deathly coldness coming from that shoulder frightened Luoying so much that she fell off the bed. Without even paying attention to her aching knee, she quickly got up again, still trembling with fear and not daring to breathe. She just stared at the already cold body on the bed for a long time, and then tears came out of her eyes. Yan Han is dead! This devil is finally dead!

She avenged her brother and sister-in-law, and also relieved the hatred for Ying Yan and herself, but for some reason she did not feel the joy of revenge. Luo Ying looked around the silent wedding room at a loss. What should she do next? Unfortunately, she could no longer wait for her brother Chen Ming to pick her up.

Jiuyi! Jiuyi!

Shangguan Jiuyi's divine figure appeared in her mind, and Luoying's hope was rekindled. She couldn't wait to see Jiuyi. But when she ran to the door, she suddenly woke up. After yesterday's wedding, she had become the well-known Princess Han. Now that Yan Han had just died, if she left like this, she might not even be able to leave Shangjing City, let alone see Jiuyi who was thousands of miles away.

Thinking of this, Luoying's eyes turned cold and she bravely returned to the bed. After struggling for a moment, she suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Prince..."

The grief-stricken cries instantly woke up the entire Han Palace. Soon, the news reached the palace. Yan Qiao, who had been tossing and turning in bed after being woken up by the strong wind, was shocked to hear that his second brother had suddenly died in the bedroom. He hurriedly ordered Eunuch Qin, the leader of the imperial guards, Fan Chong, and the imperial physician to go to the Han Palace to investigate the situation.

Even though it was not yet the hour of Mao and it was snowing hard, Eunuch Qin, despite his advanced age, had to follow the imperial guards and rush to Prince Han's mansion. With such a big thing happening, he certainly did not dare to be negligent.

It was still dark when the imperial guards set out. The wailing sounds from Prince Han's mansion woke up most of the people in Shangjing City. The princes who lived closer to Prince Han's mansion naturally rushed over first. By the time Eunuch Qin and the imperial guards arrived, the servants in Prince Han's mansion had been calmed down by the princes, and they were all busy changing the joyful expressions inside and outside the mansion.

It was not until dawn that Eunuch Qin wiped his tears and walked out of Prince Han's Mansion with Fan Chong to return to the palace to report.

Although Prince Han was evil and unpopular, Eunuch Qin was an old man in the palace after all. He had watched the three sons of the late emperor grow up. It had only been less than two years since the late emperor passed away when Prince Han got into trouble. He couldn't help feeling sad.

"Sudden death? The prince of Xiyue Kingdom died suddenly on his wedding night. Wouldn't it be absurd if this news got out?" After hearing the report from the leader of the imperial guards, Fan Chong, that no clues were found in the bridal chamber and that Prince Han passed away peacefully, and learning that even the imperial physician could not find out the cause of Prince Han's death, Yan Qiao was immediately furious.

Of course, his anger was not out of brotherly love, but because if such a death were to be spread, anyone would think that Prince Han lost control and died on a woman on his wedding night, which would undoubtedly bring shame to the royal family. Moreover, the great cause had not yet been accomplished, and with the death of Prince Han, Xiyue also lost a great general, and his newly planned Northern Expedition plan was disrupted.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The two men knelt on the ground trembling, and no one dared to say another word.

"How is Princess Han?" Yan Qiao calmed down his anger a little, then asked again while rubbing his temple.

"When Princess Han woke up, she found that Prince Han's body was cold and she was frightened. After crying for a while, she fainted. Right now the imperial physician is still staying in Prince Han's mansion to treat Princess Han." Eunuch Qin replied hurriedly with a sigh.

"Everyone go down and call the prince." Yan Qiao remained calm, waved to the two people in front of him, and then instructed Eunuch Qin.

"Yes." Eunuch Qin replied and hurriedly left the palace with Fan Chong.

Yan Zongcai had just come out of Prince Han's mansion and was about to go to the palace to meet the emperor when he heard a palace servant coming to call him, so he hurried to the palace without stopping.

"You also went to Prince Han's mansion. Did you notice anything strange?"

In the imperial study, before Yan Zong could salute, Yan Qiao stopped him with a look of grief and asked hurriedly.

Yan Zong remained silent, lowered his eyes and shook his head. Although he and Yan Han had always been at odds, they were brothers after all. The sudden death of his second brother today naturally made him feel a little sad.

"Second brother! Second brother! Why did you leave just like that? You got married happily yesterday, but I didn't expect that you and I would be separated by the Yin and Yang today. How can I bear the thought of you leaving so suddenly?" Seeing that his third brother had a heavy face, Yan Qiao also held his forehead and staggered. Then, when his third brother supported him, he pretended to be sad and cried.

"Now that things have come to this, I hope that my brother will take care of himself." Seeing his elder brother in tears, Yan Zong couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. At this moment, he didn't want to doubt whether his elder brother's grief was true or false. Anyway, his second brother was gone, so it didn't matter whether it was true or false.

"Third brother, tell me, is it true that great joy is followed by great sorrow? Father was like this in the past, and my second brother is like this today too. It's fate, it's fate!" Yan Qiao continued to hold Yan Zong's hand with tears in her eyes, asking and sighing at the same time.

"My royal brother, please accept my condolences!" Yan Zong was stunned by his elder brother's words and didn't know how to respond. He just felt inexplicably sad in his heart.

After daybreak, people in Shangjing City began to talk about it. Although the imperial physician, at the suggestion of Yan Qiao, concluded that Prince Han's death was a sudden onset of an old illness, the illness did not break out earlier or later but on the wedding night. In addition, Prince Han had always been notorious for his debauchery. So rather than a sudden onset of an old illness, everyone was more willing to believe that Prince Han had married a fairy-like wife and should have loved her dearly, but he did not expect that he could not control his good fortune and died on his wedding night.

As a result, Princess Han was also regarded by the public as a beauty who brings disaster and a woman who kills her husband.
