Fast Travel System: A Happy Life

Chapter 205

When he woke up again, the familiar curtains greeted his eyes.

Chu Qinghe sat up leisurely with her head supported, as if she had had a big dream, and she was the only one left in the dream.

The maid who was watching the night immediately brought a cup of hot tea, "Princess, you are awake."

"What time is it?" Chu Qinghe leaned lazily on the couch and asked casually.

"You hour."

"Why don't you turn on the light." Her bedroom was too dark, and she could see things indistinctly.

The palace maid gave her a surprised look, felt offended and quickly lowered her head to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

Mingming's bedroom is brightly lit, and there are two candlesticks standing beside her bed. The princess' eyes...

The maid felt that something was wrong, and she didn't know how to answer this question.

Chu Qinghe thought that the maid hadn't heard her clearly, so she said it again, "Go and light the lamp."

"Princess," the court lady knelt down with a plop and fell on the ground, "the candlesticks in the bedroom are all bright."

"So that's how it is," Chu Qinghe's fair hand slowly stroked her cheeks until it reached the corner of her eyes. She touched her eyes carefully, her vision gradually blurred, and everything in front of her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray. Lost its luster.

She cried a lot in the past few days, and her eyes were broken from crying.

"Come over with more lights." She smiled wryly.

"Yes," the court lady withdrew her eyebrows and withdrew.

After the maid left, Chu Qinghe hugged her knees and curled up in a corner of the bed. She always felt very cold when she was alone.

The successive blows made her gradually become taciturn.

The maid came back soon and filled the bedroom floor with candles, "Princess, your eyes..."

Chu Qinghe felt much brighter, "It's much better."

The maid looked down at the candles all over the place and said nothing.

"Where are the others?" Chu Qinghe finally plucked up the courage to ask this sentence.

"Only you, the princess, your guards have already been buried."

"Buried?" Chu Qinghe's voice was sharp, "Who did it?"

"Your Majesty is in charge of the burial. His Royal Highness' ashes have also been buried in the ground. Your bodyguards are arranged to guard by His Royal Highness."

It is a great honor for their servants to be buried with the royal family.

Chu Qinghe only felt ironic, but was helpless.

"Which palace are you from?"

"Slave Zimo, servant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Come here and do something for me."

...

Chu Qinghe woke up in the middle of the night, and couldn't fall asleep anyway. The events of the past few days have been lingering in her mind, and she can't forget it, and she dare not forget it.

After returning from Chongzhou, she began to be afraid of the dark night. Before evening, she would always lock herself in the dormitory and never go anywhere.

Even if you go to bed at night, you have to light many, many candles.

She laughed at herself and shook her head, then took a sip of hot tea from the teacup in her hand, "Have you got a reply?"

Most of the time, Zimo stays silently by the princess' side. She finds that since the princess came back, her whole person has changed, and there is a strong sense of despair shrouded in her body.

"Prince Jingguo sent a message in the evening and will arrive in the capital at midnight tonight."

"Send someone out to meet you, and come to the East Palace as soon as you receive them. I'll wait here." Chu Qinghe couldn't sleep anyway, so he might as well meet with Jing Ci earlier to discuss the next plan.

Zimo was the only one serving in the East Palace, and of course she was the only one who went out to meet him.

She went out from the secret path and waited for a long time at the agreed place before Prince Jing rushed over on the bright moon.

She blessed God with a salute, "Prince Jing."

"How's Qinghe?" Jing Ji rushed over all the way, Jing Guo and Zhou Guo had been fighting fiercely recently, and he finally escaped from his busy affairs.

"Your Highness, let's talk while walking." Zimo led Jing Ci into the secret passage.

"The princess seems to have lost her sight. She didn't mention it, and the slave didn't dare to ask any more questions."

Jing Ci, "What's going on?" He was wondering if he had made another old mistake, after all, Chu Qinghe's eyes were not very good when he first met him.

"I don't know very well, but the princess's eyes have been crying too much." She suspected that the princess's eyes were blinded by crying.

Jing Ci's heart skipped a beat, something big must have happened during her trip to Chongzhou, "What happened to her in Chongzhou?"

Zimo thinks that the princess can contact Prince Jing at this time, and they must have some kind of cooperation. Seeing that Prince Jing is so nervous about the princess, it’s okay to tell him something. I hope she can help the princess get out.

"The princess keeps silent about the matter in Chongzhou, but the princess is the only one who came back safely, and none of the hidden guards who followed the princess survived."

Jing Ci frowned, and his demeanor suddenly cooled down, "What did you say?" How is it possible, what happened?

"The maidservant only witnessed the day when the princess came back with her own eyes. Zhou Guo pursued the soldiers relentlessly, and was still a few steps away from the gate of the city. The last hidden guard used himself as a human target to send the princess back to Beijing safely." Even if the princess didn't mention what happened to the hidden guard, she could probably imagine it.

"I see," Jing Ji felt a little uncomfortable and a little guilty, if only he didn't leave that day, at least he could still be by her side.

How she escaped in panic alone, forced herself to be calm, and watched guards sacrifice for her one by one, she must be blaming herself now.

Maybe he was still blaming himself for not going to Chongzhou, provoking people to sacrifice for her in vain.

The pace under Jing Ci's feet quickened, he wanted to see her sooner.

...

After Jing Ci came to the East Palace, he realized that things were more serious than he had imagined.

On the floor of the entire dormitory, the tables were covered with candles, and the light smoke left by the burning of these candles gathered on the roof and could not disperse for a long time.

There was a smell of cigarette smoke in the room, but Chu Qinghe seemed to be sitting alone on the bed.

Jing Ji saw her little one hugging him, sitting alone and desperate with her head buried in her knees, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she lost weight again.

"Qinghe, I'm here." He came too late, and he wasn't there when she needed him.

Chu Qinghe forced himself to smile, "Here you are, sit down."

Jing Ci sat on the side of the bed, holding Chu Qinghe's hand, which used to have a little flesh, but now is as skinny as wood, her hand is light and weightless.

"Well, you... is there anything I can do?"

Chu Qinghe put away her smile, full of hostility, "End this troubled world, I believe you can."

"If you want the world, I will fight for you."

Chu Qinghe said slightly mysteriously, "I have a wonderful idea, which kills two birds with one stone."

She whispered her plan in Jing Ci's ear.

After hearing this, Jing Ji did not refuse, "Okay, I will do it for you as long as it is what you want."

"I hope to see you again and there will be a new order in this world," Chu Qinghe said calmly.

"Will do."

After the two talked, Jing Ji wanted to go back and was not familiar with his and Chu Qinghe's plan.

He hurried out, when Chu Qinghe suddenly stopped him, "Jing Ci, if...you must come back safely."

Jing Ji's tears fell suddenly, he knew what these words meant to Chu Qinghe, he wiped away the tears on his face indiscriminately, and suppressed the sore feeling in his throat, "Definitely, I will definitely come back." Even if he crawled, he would crawl back to her side, and he would never break his promise.
