Your Highness, after Hong Daru returned with you, Yan Dong came to deliver Xing Jiu Tang! Hong Daru was quite interested and drank a bowl of Xing Jiu Tang, then wanted to lie down and rest.
We went to prepare hot water for Hong Daru to take a bath before sleeping, but when we finished preparing the hot water and went to see Hong Daru again, we discovered that his breathing had already stopped! The maid hurriedly reported the situation, stating that the doctor had just been here and confirmed that there was no breath left.
Mu Jinkun and the Ninth Princess both gasped in shock and immediately rushed to Hong Qianjun's room. Mu Jinkun trembled as he approached, noticing the doctor by the bedside with his head lowered, looking remorseful. Looking closely at the bed, he saw Hong Qianjun lying there peacefully, completely still, his complexion still rosy.
What on earth happened? How did my lord die? Mu Jinkun turned to the doctor and questioned, "He was fine when he returned. How could he just fall asleep and be gone?"
The doctor from the Royal Post Station replied with deep shame, "Zhuang Yuan Ye, after my examination, I found that Hong Xian died from a cerebral hemorrhage!" In simpler terms, it meant that a blood vessel in his head had burst. It was suspected that the white wine he had just consumed impacted his brain and caused his death!
This is an extremely rare occurrence; normally drinking alcohol should not lead to such a situation. In this era, it is very difficult to die from drinking. With yellow wine and rice wine at ten or twenty degrees, one would only fall asleep after drinking too much. To reach the level of bursting a blood vessel would require strong liquor like white wine.
Mu Jinkun shook his head, still feeling unwell. He recalled that after drinking Jiang Han's white wine, he indeed experienced excruciating headaches. He never expected that his lord would die after just a little sip.
Hong Xian? Hong Daru? The Ninth Princess exclaimed in shock at Hong Qianjun's name. She never imagined that such a towering figure in the Xia Guo Literary Circle would perish at a banquet.
My lord! Oh, Jiang Han! I, Mu Jinkun, will never forgive you for this treachery!
Mu Jinkun could not care less about his headache; overwhelming sorrow surged forth as he leaned over Hong Qianjun's bed and began to cry out loud. The Ninth Princess looked at the doctor with piercing eyes and asked, "Jiang Han sent over Xing Jiu Tang; was there anything wrong with it?"
The doctor had not yet examined Xing Jiu Tang, but given that Hong Xian had been gravely ill and drank such strong liquor, it could also lead to death! After finishing his words, the doctor proceeded to check Xing Jiu Tang.
After a while, the doctor approached with Xing Jiu Tang in hand and said, "Xing Jiu Tang has no major issues!"
However, there is an additional herbal medicine inside, specifically used to invigorate blood circulation and resolve blood stasis in the brain! Generally speaking, if one drinks rice wine or yellow wine before taking this, it shouldn't pose much of a problem.
The doctor hesitated, then said, "But if you're drinking white liquor, it will stimulate the brain! Taking this afterward could lead to a sudden death like Hong Xian!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinkun felt as if the sky had fallen. Xing Jiu Tang was sent by Jiang Han through Yan Dong! Jiang Han, you are simply a beast; at a banquet, you have caused my death first! Jiang Han, you treacherous villain, scoundrel! I, Mu Jinkun, swear to kill you! Ah! My head!
After letting out a heart-wrenching roar, Mu Jinkun immediately felt an even sharper pain in his head and could only lean against the bedside to catch his breath. The Ninth Princess saw her man in such a state; her man was gone. She tilted her head back, desperately holding back tears, her heart already set on making Jiang Han her target for vengeance.
Ninth Princess! Mu Zhuangyuan! Are we going to find His Majesty or Jiang Han?
The doctor inquired while indicating that Hong Qianjun was the leader of the Xia Guo Shi group and that his death here necessitated strict adherence to official procedures.
Taking a deep breath, the Ninth Princess resolutely declared, "Let’s go to the palace and demand an explanation from Su Qianxue."
"No! Wait!" Mu Jinkun stopped the Ninth Princess, his eyes red. "The Maple Forest Iron Cavalry arrives the day after tomorrow! At that time, all the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be present. We will wait until then. We can expose the sudden death incident and use it to hold Jiang Han accountable. Even if we can't kill him on the spot, we can still include his life in our wager."
He expressed that going now would likely lead Su Qianxue to protect Jiang Han fiercely, making it difficult for them to gain any ground.
Seeing Mu Jinkun's expression filled with hatred, the Ninth Princess replied, "Alright. In these two days, we will handle Hong Daru's body! By the time of the morning court the day after tomorrow, we will make sure Jiang Han pays the price! A mere Shopkeeper dares to secretly harm our Hong Daru! He must not live; otherwise, this palace cannot find peace."
Inside Langya Wangfu.
Langya Prince saw Che Chengming and couldn't help but ask, "What’s going on?"
"It has already been arranged according to Father’s orders before Yan Dong goes to take Xing Jiu Tang!"
Seizing the opportunity, he set down a dose of traditional medicine.
Che Chengming sneered and spoke, "Mu Jinkun, Ninth Princess, Hong Qianjun—if all three of them drink this, under the effects of the medicine, Mu Jinkun could die suddenly, while Hong Qianjun is certain to perish!"
Good! Let’s wait and see as the Ninth Princess and her companions go to trouble Su Qianxue and Jiang Han.
Langya Prince's eyes darkened; thinking of his son being castrated by Jiang Han filled him with an uncontrollable rage. He looked at Che Chengming and said, "Che Chengyun is your brother; you must avenge him!"
In the coming days, if the Ninth Princess and Mu Jinkun do not respond, we will stoke the flames further!
"Yes, Father!" Che Chengming replied.
"What is your brother's condition?" Langya Prince asked.
Now, the entire capital knows that Che Chengyun has been castrated. He had attempted suicide twice but was stopped by Jiang Jiang and others!
Che Chengming murmured, "Only by castrating Jiang Han before killing him can we relieve Che Chengyun's deep-seated hatred."
Upon hearing this, Langya Prince sighed heavily, "I will make Jiang Han pay for this."
In the coming days, keep a close watch on the Royal Post Station and Jiang Han’s movements. Try to find out where Jiang Han is in contact with mysterious forces.
"Yes, Father!"
Che Chengming pondered for a moment before asking again, "Father, the day after tomorrow is the duel in the capital! Can His Majesty's two thousand Soldiers really withstand the One Thousand Maple Forest Iron Cavalry?"
The Maple Forest Iron Cavalry is renowned throughout the land! They have defeated enemies many times their number. Your Majesty, where does this confidence come from to crush such Heavy Cavalry?
Langya Prince contemplated for a long time before murmuring, "Regardless of whether His Majesty wins or loses, we must provoke a rift between him and Xia Kingdom; it would be best to incite a war!"
