Empress Chu

Why is he?Xie Yanfang thought as she walked, just relying on him, was embraced by the young Highness, and called uncle.

Xie Yanfang closed her eyes again, the things in this world are really miraculous.

In order to get things done, he intentionally avoided His Highness, but unexpectedly, this avoidance has now become a pity.

"My lord, don't think about it." Du Qi said, "You must rest."

Whether it is physical or mental, the impact of this day and night is too great.

Xie Yanfang opened her eyes, yes, don't think about it, these things are nothing, since His Highness is still here, everything is easy to talk about.

People go from strange to familiar, and people can also go from familiar to strange.

He came to the room, took off his bloody clothes, stepped into the bathroom naked, picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it over his head, did this three times, wiped it clean, wrapped himself in a white robe and threw himself on the bed.

The maidservants approached and gently dried his loose long hair.

The room was silent, and the young master fell into a deep sleep.

But at the next moment, Xie Yanfang opened her eyes suddenly, and propped herself up, the maidservants were caught off guard and almost pulled his hair, and knelt down trembling in fear.

The son ignored them.

"There's still something wrong," he said.

The young master was thinking about something, the maids didn't dare to disturb him, they knelt on the ground, holding their breath and keeping silent.

Many things and many people flickered in his mind, and they waved away one by one, and finally only a small figure remained.

The girl saw him and greeted him happily, her eyes full of concern.

He closed his eyes, removed the girl's face, and replaced it with the words of the eunuchs, the words of the little Highness, Deng Yi's eyes——

When Deng Yi was talking to him, he would look at the girl, as if he was watching her reaction.

He opened his eyes, waved these away, and there was only the last picture left, the girl walked out of the hall, walked among the guards, raised her hand, and someone stepped forward to listen to the order——

This is not surprising, to be able to escort the little highness into the palace safely, she naturally has someone in her hand.

The current imperial city is under her control.

There's nothing wrong with that, it's just right.

Xie Yanfang closed her eyes again, lay down again, and fell into a deep sleep.

Only then did the maids come to life again, gently stroking the young master's loose long hair, the room was silent, only the cinnamon crackling occasionally in the incense burner, exuding a faint fragrance.

……

……

It rained heavily that night.

The capital was washed clean, and the fire and blood were almost invisible, but the burned houses could not be restored.

Most people can still live in repaired houses, Qi Leyun's family is more unlucky, the house was burnt down, and they don't have many residences like Xie's, so they can change one at will.

The relatives and friends in the city had their own losses, people were in panic, and there was no room for so many people in the house, so Qi Leyun had an idea and took the whole family to borrow Chu Garden.

Qi Leyun came here with his father, and the outside of Chu's house was intact, and it seemed that there was no influence at all.

In vain, she was also worried that Chu Zhao would suffer revenge. It seemed that Chu Zhao was actually not worth mentioning in the eyes of the third prince.

There were more people outside the Chu residence than in other places. There were old people sitting on their shoes, and some children were running around, and even greeted them when they saw them.

"What do you guys do?" one of the kids asked, looking up and down at them.

No matter how you look at it, you look like a beggar who hasn't eaten for a few days.

Master Qi was about to take out money to give alms, but fortunately Qi Leyun stopped him, this kid was wearing a lot of clothes, and he was wearing a gold collar around his neck——

A child doesn't understand the joys and sorrows of the world, and they play carefree. Qi Leyun waved him away and knocked on the door of Chu's house. His hand almost broke when he knocked. Only someone inside the door responded. When he heard that he wanted to see Master Chu, The inside of the door immediately refused, saying that he couldn't see it, and had to add a few bolts to the back of the door after hearing the noise——

What are you doing?Are you that timid?

Qi Leyun hurriedly said that he wanted to see Chu Zhao.

The movement inside the door stopped, but the door still didn't open. Not long after, there were soft footsteps, and a female voice came, "Who? Qi Leyun?"

It's Chu Tang!Although he was dissatisfied with whether Chu Zhao came here, Qi Leyun held back his temper and knocked on the door: "We'll talk after opening the door."

Chu Tang didn't even open the door at the door, saying that it was not safe.

"What are you afraid of?" Qi Leyun was annoyed and funny, pointing outside, "The old woman and the children are all running outside."

She banged on the door, urging.

"Back then, you were afraid that Chu Zhao would cause trouble and bring you down, so you came to my house to borrow, and you forgot how I treated you?"

The door opened in response, and Chu Tang stood at the door, covering her mouth with a slightly frightened expression: "Don't shout, don't shout, let people hear you."

So what if people hear it?

Besides, there are no people outside, the old and the weak, women and children.

What are you afraid of!

Qi Leyun pushed away Chu Tang who was covering her mouth.

"Why are you so timid? My house was burned. You can't imagine what I experienced last night. I'm not afraid. Your side is safe and sound. What are you afraid of?"

Chu Tang looked at her with complicated eyes, laughed dryly, and said, "You are amazing."

Qi Leyun didn't quarrel with her, and introduced her father. Master Qi stepped forward to express his intention to see Master Chu. After all, such a big matter requires two family members to sit down and talk about it.

But Chu Tang bowed his knees and saluted: "Uncle, my father was frightened and fell ill, so he can't see guests."

Qi Leyun shouted: "You guys are too timid!"

Chu Tang looked at her and sighed softly: "Oh, actually, I want to say, I don't even know, I'm so brave."

what does it mean?Qi Leyun was puzzled.

Chu Tang didn't say anything more, and said: "My house is intact, but I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to live here. Uncle, you still—"

Qi Leyun became unhappy: "Chu Tang, is this how you treat me?" Turning his eyes, "You are not in charge of this family, where is Chu Zhao?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed Chu Tang away, wanting to go inward, "I If you don’t believe me, Chu Zhao will reject my family in trouble.”

Chu Tang hurriedly held her back: "Chu Zhao was also frightened. He was sick and couldn't see anyone."

Qi Leyun stared round his eyes: "How is it possible? It's not surprising that your father was scared. How could Chu Zhao be scared?"

What words!Master Qi coughed and scolded his daughter: "Since it's inconvenient, that's fine."

Qi Leyun was angry and sad, and looked at Chu Tang: "I finally understand, even sisterhood is unreliable."

Chu Tang sighed: "My place is not a good place, I am doing it for your own good."

Qi Leyun sneered: "You will speak well and be justified in everything."

Chu Tang couldn't help laughing, and looked outside, his eyes flickering slightly, if that's the case, then don't blame her.

"Okay then." She said, looking at Master Qi, "Chu Garden is still empty, if Master Qi doesn't dislike it, he can stay here."

Before Master Qi could speak, Qi Leyun hugged Chu Tang and said happily, "I knew all the friends I made, Qi Leyun, were very righteous."

Chu Tang said with a complicated expression, "It's as long as you're happy."

……

……

After lending Chu Garden to the Qi family and explaining clearly, Qi Leyun and his daughter left, Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and looked outside.

The ten-year-old boy squatting at the street corner grinned at her, tossing a small knife up and down in his hand, and the old woman sitting across from him also looked at her, the needle in his hand gleamed coldly, she couldn't help but shudder. With a shiver, he slammed the door shut.

"Two bolts on the door." She ordered the servants.

The heavy knocking of the door bolt gave Chu Tang a little peace of mind, this silly Qi Leyun, why is it safe outside, old people and children come out to play, are they old people and children?That's a man who can kill!

And are they playing?He was staring at the Chu family.

The Chu family is safe and sound, and the experience of the Chu family is something that none of you can imagine.

In fact, until now, she still doesn’t quite know what happened. Why did Chu Zhao go out suddenly? A lot of strangers, why did the child and the old woman kill all of them——

Later, there was the sound of horseshoes trembling under the feet, and someone flew over the roof and walked over the walls. It seemed that thousands of troops gathered outside the entire Chu residence, and later, thousands of troops left, but the Chu residence did not remain silent.

It was still the group of old and weak women and children who came in and out like no one else, cleaning up the corpses.

She even found the rockery where she was hiding.

"Miss Chutang, Sister Azhao said that the family affairs will be left to you, and you can comfort your parents." The half-grown child squatted on the rockery, holding a small knife in his hand, and said with a smile, "Outside We will guard and keep you safe, but if your parents run out, then we will not be polite."

What is safe, this is clearly a prison.

Sister Ah Zhao ordered——

This Chu Zhao, where did this kind of younger brother come from——

However, since she ordered it, it should be fine.

Chu Tang cheered up and disciplined his servants, comforted the people hiding in the Chu Garden, and then went to visit his father and mother. His father had already fainted from fright. This time he was really fainted, not just pretending, and Mrs. Jiang was also very frightened. Said that when the fight outside started, Chu Lan yelled "I'm dead!" and passed out.

Chu Tang asked the servant woman to cook ginseng soup and pour it over Chu Lan. Although she was still awake, her breathing was steady, and she reassured Mrs. Jiang that the officers and soldiers were killing the thieves. stay inside.

After all this was done, it was daylight, and then the half-grown child—

"My name is Xiaotu," said the child.

The little rabbit told her that the officers and soldiers had taken over the capital, and the capital was now stable. Chu Tang then told the people hiding in Chu Garden without touching the ground. Weak women and children were cleaning the street in front of the gate—it was safe, so they all left.

One day and one night passed.

Nothing seemed to have happened outside the Chu residence.

The capital also seemed to be back to normal, and Qi Leyun could come and stay here.

Chu Zhao has no news.

Chu Tang pressed his heart, and seemed not too worried. No news is good news.

What Chu Zhao did was getting more and more frightening.

I really don't know what's next.

……

……

Qi Leyun's family moved into Chu Garden, and the outside of Chu House became more lively.

Although I live in Chuyuan, I still have to be busy repairing the old house, and I have to buy what I have learned every day. The adults are busy coming in and out.

In contrast, the closed door of the Chu residence looked weird.

"Chu Tang." Qi Leyun couldn't knock on the door here, so he found a ladder and put it on the wall, and called Chu Tang over to talk, "Why are you still so scared? It's all right. How is Chu Zhao? You open the door, I'll Ask a very good doctor my family knows to show her."

Chu Tang shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, she doesn't need to look, just rest."

Qi Leyun put her arm on the wall, with a proud face: "Who will call her fierce in the future, she is obviously as timid as a mouse."

Chu Tang laughed dryly.

"Zhou Jiang and the others came out, and they asked people to greet me." Qi Leyun supported the wall, "Fortunately, everyone is safe, except that a few sisters hurt their legs and feet while running and hiding at home, but everyone is fine. I was scared, so I made an appointment to lift the ban, and went to the restaurant to drink together, to celebrate this escape from death, hey, don’t wait until then, Chu Zhao hasn’t recovered, it would be embarrassing, I can’t help her cover it up— —”

She chirped and giggled, and Chu Tang suddenly pricked up his ears.

"Listen, there are horseshoes outside," she said.

Qi Leyun's voice stopped, and sure enough, he heard the sound of horseshoes outside, which became more and more dense, as if many horses were galloping.

The nightmare of that night is still deeply engraved in the bottom of my heart. Accompanied by the rapid sound of horseshoes, it boiled up and engulfed her in an instant. The girl's face turned pale immediately, her hands clenched on the wall, and her eyes were full of fear.

what happened?

Could it be—

"Your Majesty has an order—"

There were high-pitched and sharp voices, one after another.

……

……

In the summer of the fifth year of Yongning, the third prince, Xiao Zhu, went against the law, murdered his brothers, slaughtered the Yang family, and abused the capital, killing and injuring thousands of people.

Xiao helped to abolish the common people, the Zhao family copied and beheaded, and punished the nine clans.
