Chapter 187

Qingzhu carefully unfolded the letter paper, the paper was more or less stained with blood, and some handwriting was blurred and unreadable. She quickly read it through, and her original calm expression was gradually replaced by astonishment.

Qingzhu didn't speak for a long time, she didn't know how to say this news, the words were organized back and forth in her mind several times, but she just couldn't say it.

Chu Qinghe was a little anxious, "What did you say in the letter?"

Qingzhu hesitated to speak and looked at her worriedly.

She asked urgently, "Qingzhu, is something wrong?"

Qingzhu knelt down slowly, heartbroken, closed her eyes, and said sadly, "Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and a team of people disappeared near Qingzhou five days ago, and their whereabouts are unknown. I'm afraid it's a sign of bad luck."

"What did you say?" Chu Qinghe made a piercing voice.

"Impossible, impossible," she murmured to herself, not believing the result, she took several steps back, staggered and couldn't stand, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

Obviously she had already told Chu Qinghong where there was danger, who to guard against, and which road was dangerous due to the steep terrain.

Not only that, but she wrote clearly what happened before and after Chu Qinghong Wanjian pierced her heart, hoping that he would take precautions and avoid this ending. Unexpectedly...

No, she doesn't believe it. If you want to see people, if you want to see a corpse, you haven't seen Chu Qinghong's body for a day. She doesn't believe it...

She staggered and ran out, bumping into the stone pillars in the temple several times, but she didn't care, as if she didn't feel any pain.

"Princess, princess—" Qingzhu was afraid that something would happen, so she picked up her skirt and chased after her.

The air is dull, the sky is gray, and everything outside is so depressing.

Chu Qinghe stood in the yard, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and the tears in his eyes slipped quietly.

She felt her eyes clear for a moment.

In just a blink of an eye, there is still a blurry double image in front of my eyes.

"Princess..." Qing Zhu stood behind Chu Qinghe and advised in a low voice, "Go back. His Royal Highness, the auspicious man will be fine with his own fortune."

"Qingzhu, what do you think the person who sent the letter experienced?"

She didn't believe the news either, but the tragic situation of the messenger forced her to believe this fact.

The situation at that time must have been very critical, or either her people were discovered by the enemy, or there must have been a big change in the Northland, otherwise, it is impossible to be covered in blood and there is no place for her clothes to be intact.

"This..." Qingzhu racked his brains.There was no way to get over this matter. The princess couldn't see clearly, but she really saw the miserable state of the messenger.

There is no complete place on the body, the blood on some wounds has coagulated, and the skin is sticking together with the clothes, which is shocking.

The most terrifying thing was his face, which had been slashed dozens of times with knives, and even its original appearance could not be seen.

Qingzhu guessed that the knife wound was not made by others, but by the person himself, in order to send the letter back smoothly.

Chu Qinghe arranged a total of fifty elite spies in Beidi, and only this one came back in the end. The fate of the others is self-evident.

Chu Qinghe took a deep breath and suppressed the messy emotions in her mind. She must calm down now, and she must not be confused, "Qingzhu, call my brother's subordinates immediately. Let them come to the study to meet me."

"Yes!"

...

Chu Qinghe hid the emotion of losing her composure just now, sitting at the desk and writing something non-stop.

She is fast.Write one sheet after the other, and when you finish writing each sheet, fold them and put them aside.

After a while, the desk was full of square notes.

Chu Qinghe finally stopped, sat on the stool, dragged her cheeks and seemed to be in a daze.

Luo Shui was the first person to arrive at the study, "I wonder if Her Royal Highness called Weichen over, do you have any orders?"

"Let's take a look." Chu Qinghe handed the blood-stained letter paper to Luoshui, "The news was five days ago, and I just got it."

Luo Shui quickly read the entire letter at a glance, and looked at her in disbelief, "This...impossible," he shook his head, "The prince is surrounded by the royal guards, even those who are besieged will do anything The price to save him."

When Chu Qinghe suddenly heard the news.The whole person is filled with sad emotions, and there is no energy to think about other things.

Now that she had calmed down, she realized that the whole thing was very suspicious, and she had several bold guesses in her mind.

"Luo Shui, I have several guesses now, but I need someone to help me verify them one by one." Just having guesses is not enough. She must find someone to find out what is going on in the North.

She glanced at him in Luoshui, lowered her eyes, without any expression on her face, and she couldn't see what he was thinking, "I sent fifty people to the Northland, and now only one person has returned. Bring back the news."

"Now I suspect that there may be a traitor among my people."

This is probably the best guess at the outcome.

Nothing happened to her brother, everything was fake news brought by the traitors around her, the purpose was to hit her.

"Of course, there is another guess that something big happened in the Northland. Both the army and the masses are trapped there and cannot come out."

This is the worst possible scenario.

If the whole area of ​​Beidi falls, the capture of Jincheng is just around the corner.

Luo Shui carefully analyzed the letter several times, connected the cause and effect, and said solemnly, "I prefer to believe that this is the second situation."

Chu Qinghe's expression was uneasy, and her fingers tapped on the table impatiently.

Luoshui didn't keep her secrets anymore, "To tell you the truth, princess, I also placed a few people in the Northland, and I agreed with them to send news every seven days. Today is the seventh day, but the news has not come through for a long time."

Chu Qinghe pondered for a while, "The people you and I sent wouldn't be all rich and poor, and they couldn't even do a small disguise. Something big must have happened over there."

She said with some uncertainty, "Maybe it has been completely blocked over there, and no news can be sent back, or the news that came is just news that we want us to hear, not real news."

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on her back, "Luoshui, maybe something happened a long time ago, and the military newspaper has been sent back all this time because someone else wanted us to read it?"

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and a white light flashed in her mind, thinking that the people in the household department said that they would send the cotton padded clothes filled with paper to Beidi.

Could they have known the news a long time ago? Chu Qinghe felt at least [-]% sure.

"Weichen also agrees with the princess' idea."

Luo Shui bent down and cupped his hands, "Please listen to my minister's words."

Next, Luo Shuizai carefully analyzed the big and small things that happened after Chu Qinghong left.

Everything seems to happen for no reason, but it is frightening to think about it.

This game of chess has been played for too long, and none of them, as players in the game, noticed it.

Only now did we see the clues.
