Empress Chu
Page 91
But is there any place in the capital that can protect His Royal Highness?The Yang family, the Xie family, and the powerful officials in the court must have hidden killers outside their houses, and when they left the city, the city also started killing them.
"It's Chu, Chu—" The court lady was a little nervous, and she couldn't remember the name for a while, but fortunately, there was another name that was very famous, and she often heard, "Chu Zhao's family."
Xie Yanfang was astonished, she didn't expect to hear this girl's name at this moment, so many thoughts flashed around in her mind: "Her?"
"Her father, Chu Zhao's father." The court lady quickly explained, "Eunuch Qi said that he is the only one who can protect His Royal Highness."
Chu Ling?
Xie Yanfang knew that Chu Ling was unusual, and Eunuch Qi's words had even more extraordinary meaning.
The one who can protect His Highness is actually Chu Ling?
why?
But the palace maid didn't know, the situation was too urgent at that time, Eunuch Qi only told the crown princess this, and let the crown princess believe him.
What can the princess do? At this time, she has to believe it if she doesn't believe it.
Du Qi couldn't understand: "Even if Chu Ling is the only person His Majesty trusts, but he is far away in the border county, what can Eunuch Qi take His Highness to his house?"
The Chu family has nothing, no people, no prestige, the house is not as deep as Xie's house.
Is it because it feels inconspicuous so it is better hidden?
Du Qi's headache was splitting from thinking about it.
Xie Yanfang raised her hand to interrupt him: "Don't think about it."
He looked towards the direction of the capital.
"Help the death of the third prince! Continue to announce that the prince is dead!"
Although the death of the third prince will make the third prince's men continue to go crazy, but it will also make the Zhongshan King's people taboo.
Next, the planning, calculation, speculation and deduction are all false, only the knife and blood are real.
He, Mrs. Xie, must fight his way out.
"Kill to the capital!"
……
……
The Chu Garden is like thick ink at night, without any lights.
But looking through the gaps in the rockery, you can see patches of orange red in the night sky in the distance, which are fires burning, and cries and shouts wafting in the night wind.
Everything looks unreal, but it is all real.
Chu Zhao closed his eyes.
"Miss." Ale hurried over from the darkness, "Seven or eight people were let in, and they all hid in the garden."
Chu Zhao nodded: "Let the gatekeepers listen, and if there is anyone calling for help, remember to open the door." He paused again, "But do what you can."
What does it mean to do what you can, Ah Le knows in his heart that now there are people running around in a hurry who can enter high walls and deep houses to hide. If they just want shelter and escape, they can let them in. You can’t just open the door regardless——
In that case, all these people in the Chu residence will be in danger.
This is a painful and helpless choice, and Ah Le clenched his hands.
"Miss, I will stand guard by the door myself."
She made this painful choice.
Chu Zhao held Ah Le's hand and let her relax: "It shouldn't be too serious."
She looked out into the night.
Compared with the last life, the movement is much smaller.
But it happened anyway.
Chu Zhao was a little disappointed, which also meant that something happened to the prince.
Chapter 1 Guest Visit
did not expect.
But others can't think of it, she can't sigh like this.
It can only be said that I did not expect Xie Yanfang to be reminded, but the crown prince still——
The only good news is that this time the crown prince was killed outside the capital, so the people in the capital can suffer less disaster.
But suffering was inevitable.
Ale went to guard the door, while Chu Zhao took the maidservants to accommodate the people who had taken refuge in Chu Garden.
The people were all placed in hidden places on the outdoor rocks, so that if thieves broke in to burn, kill and loot, people could still have a chance to hide.
These people are old and young, there are vendors who have not yet returned home to set up night stalls, and the shabby houses of the common people were ignited by the fire thrown, running around in the street, there are people fighting everywhere, and they will be gone in the next moment Life, but at this time, the doors of every house are closed, and there is no way to go to heaven or earth. Fortunately, the door of Chu Garden is open and they are taken in.
An old woman took the water from Chu Zhao and said thank you in a trembling voice.
Handmaids bandage the wounded.
Chu Zhao asked for quilts again, so that the elderly and infirm could sit and lie down comfortably. While he was busy, Chu Tang came over with his maid.
The two sisters stepped aside to talk.
"How is the family?" Chu Zhao asked, "Don't let uncles and aunts panic, you still guard them, as long as I'm here."
Chu Tang's face turned pale, and he squeezed out a smile: "Don't worry, they, fortunately, have closed the door leading to Chu Garden."
Chu Zhao was angry and funny, this is really something Chu Lan can do.
The members of the Chu family woke up from their sleep. At first they thought there was a bandit, but Chu Zhao immediately closed the door, telling everyone not to stay in the house. Prepare water to extinguish the fire. All the men, women and children in the family were killed Shouting to take up weapons - no weapons, just a broomstick and firewood.
Chu Zhao’s actions scared the whole family to death, and Chu Lan scolded her, but soon realized that the movement outside seemed to be full of bandits in the city, the sound of fighting, the sound of hooves, and the screams——
Something is not right!
Chu Lan and Jiang immediately urged to strengthen the doors and windows.
But at this time, Chu Zhao actually wanted to open the door again to let in the people who were asking for help. Naturally, Chu Lan and Jiang Shi refused, so Chu Zhao brought people to Chu Garden.
Chu Lan Jiang couldn't stop her, and even closed the door leading to Chu Garden.
"Azhao, don't be angry." Chu Tang said softly, "You also know the nature of your parents, they are timid and afraid."
Chu Zhao couldn't help being angry because of them, and asked, "Why did you come here? It's so dangerous, why don't you hide with them? The door on my side will be opened at any time."
Chu Tang smiled: "I think it's more at ease for me to be with you."
Chu Zhao was funny, he was not moved by her trust, nor did he drive her away.
"I bought a lot of medicines and stored them in Chu Garden. You take someone to sort them out for later use," she said.
Sure enough, who hoarded so many medicines for no reason, Chu Tang felt more at ease, nodded yes, but thought that Chu Zhao would open the door at any time, he was still a little scared, and couldn't help but said: "Actually, it's not that my father didn't help. He also ran from the front door earlier. Those who came in, my father stayed behind, but it’s too chaotic outside now, fish and dragons are mixed together, I’m afraid that if bad people come in, it will be bad.”
Chu Zhao said: "I know, don't worry, Ah Le will do what he can."
Only then did Chu Tang walk away in peace.
Chu Zhao stood still where he was, and when the night wind blew, his heart froze.
What did Chu Tang say, the person Chu Lan stayed for help earlier?
Is Chu Lan the kind-hearted person who enjoys helping others?
impossible!
If the person is really kept, it means that the person has a reason why he has to stay.
Come on, who is it?
……
……
The doors and windows were closed tightly, which could not block the noise outside. Standing indoors, Chu Lan could not only hear screams, but also seemed to smell blood.
His face was pale and his figure was tottering. He should have sat down and lay down now, but he was distracted and had to walk up and down.
He walked around and murmured, "A disaster, a disaster."
He walked around again and murmured, "Opportunity, opportunity."
Walking up and down, muttering indistinctly to himself, lost his mind, as if he was going to go on like this forever, until the door was knocked.
There was a bang, not too big or too small, Chu Lan was startled as if hearing thunder, "Who?" Then he shouted angrily in a low voice, "Didn't I already said it, don't bother me!"
A soft voice sounded outside the door: "Mr. Chu, it's me, Xiao Xun."
Chu Lan's mind is a little confused, who is Xiao Xun?
The people outside the door didn't give him time to recover from the invitation, so he raised his hand and pushed the door and came in.
Only then did Chu Lan react, Xiao Xun!Prince of Zhongshan!
Seeing the tall young man wrapped in a black cloak walking in, he didn't greet him with joy like before, but his complexion became even uglier, his lips were blue, and he stepped back again and again, hitting a bookshelf before he had to stop.
"My son—" he trembled.
Xiao Xun didn't care about his weird reaction, and said kindly: "Mr. Chu, don't be afraid, I'm here to help."
Chu Lan leaned against the bookshelf and asked, "Help, help what?"
"The third prince and the crown prince are fighting outside." Xiao Xun said, not caring about Chu Lan, untied his cloak, and sat down by himself, "Now the whole city is killing people randomly, Mr. Chu doesn't know about it?"
Without waiting for Chu Lan to speak, he continued.
"I brought someone here, don't worry, Mr. Chu, I can keep your home safe."
Originally at this time, Chu Lan should be grateful to Xiao Xun, but he leaned against the bookshelf and stammered, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xiao Xun looked at him and smiled: "You're welcome, it's my honor."
Chu Lan also squeezed out a smile, seeing Xiao Xun stretching out his hand to pour tea, he, the master, should not be too unseemly, this time hurried over: "I will come and I will come."
Xiao Xun didn't insist either, and asked Chu Lan to pour tea for him.
"Is Mr. Chu frightened?" He said, "It happened so suddenly. The city is like this, and the outside of the city does not know what it is like. It is already difficult to walk on the street, and many people have also suffered."
Chu Lan's hand holding the teapot trembled, and the tea spilled out, and she said in a trembling voice, "It's terrible, it's terrible, what should I do."
Xiao Xun sighed softly, and looked towards the door: "At this point, we can only resign ourselves to fate."
After a few words, Chu Lan felt her mind stabilized, and sat down too, followed by a soft sigh: "It will be dawn soon."
Xiao Xun took a sip of his tea, which was already cold, but he didn't mind, and swallowed it anyway, saying: "After dawn, it won't be the same as before, Mr. Chu—" He looked at Chu Lan, "Change the sky!" gone."
Chu Lan clasped her hands and nodded: "Yes, it has changed—"
"But Mr. Chu, don't worry too much." Xiao Xun said, "No matter how the sky changes, I will do my best to keep you safe."
Chu Lan's heart beat wildly again, she stood up and saluted: "My lord, you are so kind to me——"
Xiao Xun nodded and looked at him: "Why am I treating you so well?"
Chu Lan was taken aback, huh?
Under a dim light, a young man in white clothes with a beautiful face has dim eyes.
"Chu Lan." He said, "The sky is about to change. This time, it's not your brother Chu Ling, but your turn to climb the ladder."
Chapter 1, Chapter Three and Three Words
Climb the ladder.
Chu Lan's expression changed under the dim light.
I don't know if a layer of window paper was faintly pierced, or the initial fright was over, but Chu Lan felt that her mind had settled down instead.
It's not like he hasn't seen the world!He has read poetry and books, and he is used to seeing blood and rain in history books!
He took the teacup and sighed: "Your Majesty, you are joking, there is no such thing as a ladder to the sky in a family like my Chu family."
Xiao Xun smiled: "Mr. Chu, your Chu family was able to have such a family because you climbed the ladder. Otherwise, how could you sit at home today, where your husband and wife are harmonious, your children are safe, and your wealth is safe."
Chu Lan was a little annoyed: "I don't understand what your son said. I, Chu Lan, have never committed crimes, and I can't even be a commoner? Just because of my brother, I can't live like a human being in the eyes of the world? "
