The Rebirth of an Orphan

There were some rusty weapons scattered on the grassland. Although more than two months had passed, the grass was still dark brown, which was obviously the blood shed by soldiers from both sides during the fierce battle.

"Miss Zhao, let's look for them now. We have to go back soon. Although those enemy troops have been defeated, there are still some remnants. It would be bad if something goes wrong."

Zhao Xihua just nodded, and then continued to walk step by step towards the depths of the grassland. She had finally come here, so why would she want to go back? She just wanted to find that person.

The scene on the grassland was truly horrific, with broken corpses left uncollected, rotting war horses, and a foul smell everywhere.

Zhao Xihua bent over and examined the corpses that were so rotten that they could not be cleaned up one by one, turning them over inch by inch.

"Gu Lun, are you still alive? If you are alive, please answer me, okay? Gu Lun..."

Zhao Xihua's hoarse voice seemed a little ethereal in the cold wind. Even the killers from Tianmen Camp couldn't bear to watch it any longer. They could only help Zhao Xihua search together. When they found a body, they would dig a hole and bury the people.

This caused a sensation in Cheyi Town. People said that a strange woman took her men to the grassland every day to dig up the remains of the dead soldiers and then buried them.

"General, is that woman a fool? Such a beautiful woman, actually has a problem with her brain?" Qin Heng stood beside Princess Mingyue and looked at his commander. Why did he feel that the general's face was as ugly as that woman's?

Who are they looking for? What kind of man has such great charm that two such outstanding women value him so much.

A man risked his life to take over Cheyi Town, and he searched everywhere as soon as he took over. Now someone even crazier has come. Instead of sending people to search, he turned over the corpses one by one by himself, and has been searching for more than ten days.

Yesterday, Qin Heng met the woman who came back from the grassland. She had lost a lot of weight and looked unrecognizable. People said that she would vomit after eating, and then find ways to stuff the food back into her mouth.

This is too painful and too pitiful.

"General, why don't you let me kill that woman? I feel uncomfortable just looking at her." Qin Heng said to Princess Mingyue.

"She is Gu Lun's wife..." Mingyue looked at the thin figure in the distance and shouted Gu Lun's name like crazy. Even though her voice was hoarse and she was crying blood, she kept shouting.

For the first time, Mingyue felt what it was like to be truly heartbroken. She was sad for Gu Lun and for the death of her father, but looking at Zhao Xi's painting she couldn't compare.

For the first time, she sympathized with her love rival and said with a wry smile, "It turns out that she loves him more than I do. I admit that I lost..."

Qin Heng was stunned when he heard the name Gu Lun, "Gu Lun? Oh my God? It's Gu Lun?"

Gu Lun became famous in Cheyi Town. Even his enemies admired this opponent. Gu Lun had become the god of war in everyone's mind. Qin Heng did not expect that the woman he wanted to seduce before was actually the widow of a hero.

He raised his hand and slapped himself hard. Not feeling satisfied yet, he slapped himself a few more times, his face turning red.

Mingyue was awakened by Qin Heng's actions and said coldly: "Remember one thing, not all women can be teased. This is your first offense. I'll take your head next time."

"Yes, General." Qin Heng's face was full of shame.

It was another fruitless day. Zhao Xihua dragged her tired body back to the hotel. After washing up, she forced herself to finish her meal. Just as she was about to go to bed, she heard someone knocking on the door slowly.

"Who?"

"It's me." It was the cold voice of Princess Mingyue.

It's so late, why did she come back? Zhao Xihua got up and opened the door. She saw Mingyue at the door. She seemed to be drunk. She walked in with a bottle of wine in her hand and said, "Drink with me."

Zhao Xihua knew that Mingyue hated her, but she didn't expect that not only did she not report her to the Queen Mother and the Ling family, but she also let her stay here and watched her go to the grassland to look for Gu Lun again and again.

Now he's drunk and asks her to drink with him. What's going on?

She sighed, closed the door, walked to the table, picked up an empty glass and said, "Her Royal Highness wants to drink with me, how can I not accompany you, but Her Royal Highness has to share some of her wine with me."

Mingyue sneered and pointed at Zhao Xihua, saying, "Don't you have anything now? It's too sad for a person to end up like this. Forget it, come on, just consider it my reward."

Mingyue lowered her head, filled the empty glass in Zhao Xihua's hand with wine, and said to her, "Come on, let's drink to the fact that we will both fall in love with the same man. Cheers!"

A hint of bitterness appeared on Zhao Xihua's lips. She wanted to live her life again just to make up for some regrets, but she didn't want to fall in love with someone and be involved in such a big vortex.

It's too late to say anything now. Once I fall in love, I fall in love. This is my fate and I can't escape it.

"Okay!" Zhao Xihua tilted her head back and drank it down fiercely. She had never drunk such a strong liquor before, and she immediately started coughing violently.

"You are so generous. You are the kind of person I, Mingyue, admire. Let's have another drink." Mingyue poured another full glass of wine for Zhao Xihua.

Zhao Xihua looked up at Princess Mingyue and said word by word, "Your Highness, if you want to tell me anything tonight, just tell me directly. Otherwise, it would be too unfair for me to get drunk and die here. I have to continue looking for you tomorrow, so I can't accompany you after this drink."

Mingyue looked at Zhao Xihua and said, "After this cup, there will be no more grudges between you and me. I will tell you everything you want to know."

Zhao Xihua nodded and drank the wine in her hand again. She coughed even more and felt dizzy. She had never drunk like this before. When she and Gu Lun had a drink before, they had always drunk some sweet wine that was not harmful to people.

Seeing that Zhao Xihua was about to collapse, Mingyue came to her side and said, "Don't look for him anymore. He is really dead. I have already looked for him. There is an old poplar tree that has grown crooked at the western end of the grassland. I found this under the tree."

Princess Mingyue took out something and handed it to Zhao Xizhao, she opened it and saw that it was the Gu family's ancestral Xuantie Order.

Zhao Xihua was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and froze.

Princess Mingyue laughed softly, looking at Zhao Xihua and said, "The Iron Xuanling was Gu Lun's personal belongings. It was found on a rotten corpse. The head was gone and the foreigners chopped it off to ask for credit. The clothes on his body were stripped off and taken to Kyoto to be used as clothing. Everyone around him died, no one survived."
