Chu Heyi was stunned. What was Eunuch Cheng Ying talking about? Who was missing? Who was facing death threats?

Nanny Rui had the same doubts as Chu Heyi, but she soon thought that since Eunuch Chengying spoke like this, the person in trouble must be related to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess is most likely pregnant now. If a woman is stimulated in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus will definitely be unstable.

Especially since the Crown Princess was seriously injured on the battlefield last time, it is not appropriate for her to be too sad.

So, she wanted to stop Chengying from telling the truth.

However, Chu Heyi took the lead and said, "I already know the general situation, but I don't know the more detailed situation. Can Eunuch Cheng tell me in detail so that I can have a general idea?"

If she asked who had the accident and what happened, Cheng Ying would definitely guess that she actually knew nothing. If she continued to ask, Cheng Ying would definitely not say anything.

Therefore, Chu Heyi could only pretend that he knew the general situation but not the details. In this way, Cheng Ying would definitely think that there was no need to continue hiding it.

Rui Ma Ma was panicked: "Crown Princess..."

Chu Heyi grabbed Nanny Rui's wrist and stopped her from speaking. Nanny Rui was worried and anxious.

As expected, Cheng Ying was not prepared at all. He said, "Half a month ago, General Chu led his soldiers to the village to build walls and tiles for the villagers, but he was assassinated on the way back.

"At that time, Changqing City was covered with snow, and the road was barely visible. When General Chu was fleeing back to the city, the road collapsed and the snow buried him. General Chu has not been found yet..."

Changqing City is far away from Shengjing City. The news was sent urgently by the soldiers of Changqing City over a distance of 800 miles, and it was just delivered.

When the prince received the news, he issued an order that the news should not be told to the princess for the time being, and that he should tell her in person later.

I don't know who was the guy who leaked the news to the Crown Princess.

Seeing that Chu Heyi looked really bad, Cheng Ying quickly comforted him, "The incident happened half a month ago. When the soldiers came back to deliver the news, they might have already found General Chu. Don't worry, Crown Princess. There will be news soon."

Chu Heyi really wanted to believe Cheng Ying's words, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible.

If the eldest brother has been found, then the second wave of people delivering the message will arrive soon.

But now, there is only news that something happened to the eldest brother.

Assassination!

Did the Queen reach out to Changqing City? Was the person who assassinated my brother sent by the Queen?

After she woke up, the first thing she thought of was that the Zhenguo Mansion was now basically composed of female members, and it would be easy for the Queen to attack them. Fortunately, Baihua and Xie Lin reacted very quickly and had already prepared the people in the Zhenguo Mansion for the response. Xie Lin also sent heavy troops for protection.

But I never expected that it was my eldest brother who got into trouble in the end.

The eldest brother followed his father to the battlefield in the north when he was fourteen years old. He has been in the north for more than ten years. The north is his home ground, and he is also a general. She once thought that even if the queen extended her hand to the north, she could not do anything to the eldest brother.

However, the winter in the north is long, with heavy snow and wind. Even though the peach blossoms in Shengjing City have bloomed, Changqing City is still frozen over, which gives the queen an opportunity.

The power of nature is often beyond human reach.

A slight pain seeped into Chu Heyi's heart. She could hardly breathe, and her vision went dark. Nanny Rui's anxious voice rang in her ears, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Her face was pale as she said, "Thank you, Eunuch Cheng, for telling me. If there is any news from my eldest brother, please let me know as soon as possible. I will be very grateful."

The imperial physician arrived and quickly checked Chu Heyi's pulse. Chu Heyi looked expressionless and did not react at all. All she could think of was the snowy road surface collapsing, her elder brother riding a horse and falling off, and then being buried by the snow...

Will my brother die?

There were flashes of fire.

Pain spread throughout his body and his eyelids felt heavy. It took Chu Ni a lot of effort to finally open his eyes.

He saw a ball of fire, and a slight warmth was emanating from it. Then he saw a damp rock wall, which must have been a small cave.

Chu Yi remembered that when he was returning from the village with his soldiers, it was getting dark and an assassin rushed out. His horse trampled the snow on the road, and he followed the horse and fell headfirst, and was buried by ice and snow.

At the moment before he was buried by ice and snow, he seemed to see a shadow rushing towards him.

Is it an illusion?

Chu Yu subconsciously looked for the shadow. Suddenly, someone came up to him and said softly and happily, "Are you awake?"

She was a young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face, big eyes, wheat-colored skin, and looked very healthy.

"My name is Zhao Tang, and I saved you." The girl said, stretching out her hand to help Chu Yi up from the ground and sitting against the wall of the cave.

The moment he sat up, Chu Yu's wound was pulled. He hissed and recovered after a long while: "Miss, you saved my life, I will never forget it!"

"The general was lucky. Although there was snow falling, it was not very thick, so I was able to dig the general out. And there happened to be a cave below where we could hide, so we escaped the pursuit." Zhao Tang said, still in shock and his face pale.

Chu Yu frowned slightly: "Miss Zhao knows my identity?"

"When your men were protecting you, they shouted to the general to hurry up. I heard it." Zhao Tang said with an evasive look in her eyes. The firelight illuminated her face, and her complexion suddenly flushed.

Chu Yi felt great pain all over his body and was thinking about those killers. He didn't notice Zhao Tang's expression and just said "Oh".

There was no light outside the cave. It was obviously night. If the killer didn't find his body, he would catch up with him sooner or later.

It depends on whether his soldiers come first or the killers come first. If it is the latter, they will be in great danger.

The firewood burned and the sparks crackled. Chu Yu listened attentively to the noise outside the cave, but all he could hear was the whistling mountain wind.

"When Miss Zhao met me, it was almost dark. Why was Miss Zhao still outside the city so late?" Chu Yi suddenly asked.

For a girl to travel at such a time, especially when it is snowing, it just doesn't seem right no matter how you think about it.

Zhao Tang suddenly looked at him with a burning gaze, his face became redder and his heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.

She used to think that General Chu was a bearded man, very rough, who was always sweaty and smelled terrible because of marching and fighting.

It was not until they met that she realized that General Chu was so handsome, tall, and strong.

Zhao Tang couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to be held in the arms of a man like this.

It turns out that you can fall in love with someone in an instant.

Zhao Tang blushed and said, "General, someone actually asked me to come find you. I have been looking for you for many days. Otherwise, we would not have met by such a coincidence."

Chu Yu's heart trembled, and a person suddenly appeared in his mind. He blurted out: "Who is it?"
