Chapter 190

Fire, fire everywhere.

Everywhere there were people fleeing in panic.

Chu Qinghe stood there helplessly, with fire spreading as far as the eye could see, and people running around in chaos. There were also the roars of men, the cries of women and the shouts of children. Her ears seemed to be a little noisy from the sounds. Tinnitus, unable to hear what people around you are saying.

In the whole land, there is not a single building in sight, nor any mountains or rivers to be seen. At a glance, it is full of people, and there are messy clothes on the ground, which are gray. She is the only one left in white clothes, which is particularly conspicuous.

Chu Qinghe saw a familiar figure from the back in the distance, obviously very familiar, but his name was on his lips but he couldn't say it.

She wanted to catch up, but unexpectedly, she tripped over something on the ground and fell to the ground, only to realize that the ground was not gray clothes, but people bleeding with blood, abandoned knives, and broken swords .

Everything in front of her seemed to gradually become clearer, and for a moment she seemed to have arrived on the battlefield, surrounded by the sounds of fighting and iron horses, the screams of people fleeing in all directions, and the sounds of begging for mercy.

The figure in the distance turned his face slowly, and she remembered that it was her brother.

Just as she was about to call him, the person in front of her was suddenly stabbed with a sword. Blood splashed onto her white skirt, and some of it splashed onto her face. Her eyes flashed red, and then she lost consciousness.

...

"elder brother--"

"elder brother--"

Chu Qinghe grabbed the quilt uneasily, and kept calling Chu Qinghong in her mouth. She seemed to be dreaming of something bad and kept turning her head from side to side unsteadily, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Jing Ci wetted his handkerchief and wiped Chu Qinghe's sweat. After a while, sweat appeared on her head again. He took the trouble to pass the handkerchief through the water, wring it dry, and wiped Chu Qinghe's sweat.

He looked at her furrowed brows, and said something uneasily, guessing that she might be having a nightmare, he gently held her hand holding the quilt, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. "

...

"elder brother--"

Chu Qinghe let out a shrill cry, and suddenly woke up from the dream.

She sat on the bed in shock, breathing heavily, her chest heaving violently.

She didn't remember the events in her dream very clearly. She only remembered the horrific things she dreamed about and the last trace of blood.

She wanted to get out of bed and drink a cup of herbal tea to calm herself down, only to realize that her hand was tightly held by someone, and she couldn't even pull it out.

It's Jingci.

He lay beside his bed and slept soundly.

Holding her tightly with one hand, the upper body is lying on the bed, the head is resting on the other arm, and the head is tilted to her side.

There was no one else in the bedroom except the two of them.

Qingzhu is not on the couch outside either.

Chu Qinghe felt a little strange, where did Qingzhu go, and why was Jing Ci guarding her.

She carefully tried to pull her hand out, but unexpectedly, Jing Ci moved a couple of times uneasily, and suddenly opened her eyes.

Jing Ci was already thinking about her, and he was not asleep. As soon as Chu Qinghe made a movement, he woke up immediately, "Is it better?"

For some reason Chu Qinghe's voice was hoarse, "Why are you here? Where is Qingzhu?"

She paused, then whispered, "I want to drink water."

"Where is the green bamboo, your father?"

Jing Ci took a glass of water that had been prepared a long time ago. He didn't know when Chu Qinghe would wake up. You can drink warm water.

Chu Qinghe was held in Jing Ci's arms, sipping tea with his hand.

The water was still warm.

Although drinking cold water did not usually wake her up, she felt much more comfortable after drinking this glass of warm water.

For some reason she felt weak all over, couldn't muster any strength, and her head felt dizzy.

Maybe it was too sad.

When a person is comfortable, it is time to get down to business, "How is the situation outside?"

"Not very good," Jing Ji said in a gentle tone, hoping not to irritate her again, "Your father fell ill when he heard about your brother. Fortunately, the imperial doctor said that there is no serious problem. Follow him over there."

"Qingzhu?" Chu Qinghe was a little puzzled. It shouldn't be the maidservant's turn to take care of her, "How could she be the one to take care of it?"

Jing Ci took a careful look at her expression and found that she was still calm, "You have been in a coma for two days. Master Li and Master Gu have been released. They used an excuse to deal with the people in the East Palace."

"Emperor Chu Yang's illness was caused by the two of them. Your father must have been pissed off. The people in the East Palace are now by Emperor Chu Yang's side. This is also a form of protection for them."

Mr. Li and Mr. Gu are both insane, wanting to take revenge after arresting the people in the East Palace.

Why has she been in a coma for two days?Chu Qinghe looked at Jing Ci in surprise.

She pointed at herself and asked in disbelief: "I've been in a coma for two days?"

Jing Ci nodded.

Chu Qinghe had a no wonder expression, no wonder he felt weak all over, his body was extremely weak, he slept for two days without eating anything, and was so hungry and weak.

Jing Ci said, "The porridge has been warming in the small kitchen. Do you want to eat it now?"

She replied weakly, "yes"

"Wait," Jing Ji gently placed her on the bed, let her lean comfortably against the head of the bed, and planned to get the porridge in person.

There is no way that he is the only one who can walk around in the East Palace now, and he boiled this porridge himself while Chu Qinghe was asleep.

...

After Jing Ci left, Chu Qinghe called softly, "Ying Yi——"

A dark shadow came in through the window, "The subordinate is here."

She leaned against the bed weakly, looking vaguely at Ying Yi who was kneeling on the ground through a layer of red gauze, "How many more people are there in the secret guard?"

"Back to the princess, there are more than [-] people. Last time, a small team of ten people was sent to inquire about the news. At present, there are still five people left in this team, and they are on the way back."

"The team just sent the latest news this morning. Would you like to see it, princess?"

"Probably tell me."

"The magistrate of Qingzhou is Master Li's protégé. He was responsible for the fall of Qingzhou. Master Li also shipped a batch of silver to Zhou Guo. Our people also intercepted a secret report."

"It was Master Li's letter to Lord Zhou. Lord Li and Lord Zhou reached a consensus. Lord Li will do internal and external cooperation for him. After the matter is completed, Zhou promised him the position of prime minister."

"Also, Mr. Gu has treasoned the country. Little General Gu intercepted the letters between him and the barbarians. Little General Gu chose to live and die with Qingzhou in order to atone for his sins."

"Our people are returning with the body of His Highness the Crown Prince and the bones of General Xiao Gu."

Chu Qinghe narrowed her eyes slightly, she would never let these people go.

"Fifty people are enough, Yingyi, you bring these people to take Master Li and Master Gu's family..." She made a gesture of wiping her neck.

On a dark and windy night, killing people and setting fires couldn't be easier.

Although Yingyi saw the shadow on the tulle, he understood, "Yes."

"Send their ashes to the Northland to pay homage to those who died."

"Yes, my subordinate will definitely complete the mission." Ying Yi cupped his fists.

The corner of Chu Qinghe's mouth twitched into a mocking smile, it wasn't because she was cruel and merciless, why would a person who did something wrong still jump to the end, she disagreed.

Let them pay homage to the heroic spirits of the Northland and the undead of the common people.

This is just the beginning.
