Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 1051
"Lock this woman into a secret room," the woman wrote on the cardboard, "and call a few people to clean the house without leaving a trace of blood smell."

"Yes." The old man responded, wiped the knife clean on Wang Qiu's body, and bowed out.

Not long after, several women and maids came in, sprinkled some medicinal powder on Wang Qiu's bloody mouth and palms, dragged her into the house, and hid her somewhere.

Soon, the blood stains in the room were wiped clean, the windows were wide open, and the smell of blood dissipated within a short time, leaving only the strong medicinal fragrance of the woman.

After finishing these tasks and drinking a cup of tea, Mr. Duan Hou arrived.

"Madam, I have prepared five more days' worth of medicine for you. Don't slack off three times a day. This can alleviate some of the pain."

The woman didn't say anything. She took a pen and paper and started writing very quickly, as if she was filled with resentment.

"What does the pain on my body count? What haunts me and causes me unbearable pain is the raging fire rising into the sky, the screams that linger in my ears every night, the scorched corpses on the ground, and the burning corpses all over the ground. Ruins of the East Palace”

Duan Ao interrupted the woman before she finished her words.

"Madam, almost 30 years have passed, it's time to let it go!'

"The Great Zhou Kingdom is now peaceful and peaceful, no matter how much hatred there is, let it go with the wind!"

"No~~" The woman's voice seemed to have been severely crushed by a heavy object and was in dilapidated state, "The smallpox was raging~~ I was burned by the fire. I, Ye Yunxi, asked myself that I had never done anything that was against my conscience, why~~ Do you want to treat me like this?"

It was extremely difficult to pronounce every word of this sentence, and every word was filled with deep-seated hatred.

Duan Ao sighed deeply after hearing this.

29 years ago, the Crown Princess of the East Palace gave birth to a pair of grandsons, one of whom was born with smallpox.

"Then, where is it, smallpox? It's clear that the nun who delivered the baby deliberately framed the baby and soaked it in water boiled with nettles." Before the woman finished speaking, she covered her face and sobbed in pain, the curtain on her head The hat fell to the ground.

What a horrible face it was? There were no ears, no hair, and every inch of exposed skin was covered in red growths like earthworms, which made people unbearable to look at.

With just one glance, Duan Ao's eyes turned red, and tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

When he returned from the battlefield in triumph, he saw thick smoke billowing from the palace as soon as he walked to the city gate.

"What's going on?" General Duan, who was 23 years old and not yet married, asked the officials who came out of the city to greet them in surprise.

The palace attendant replied, "Smallpox is raging in the East Palace, so the emperor has no choice but to take this step and burn the East Palace."

When Duan Ao heard this, his eyes turned blood red and he rushed towards the palace like crazy.

Yes, the girl he loved was none other than the princess in the midst of the raging fire, Ye Yunxi.

They were in love with each other, but they couldn't resist the emperor's imperial edict, and since then they have been in trouble.

When we never wanted to meet again, it was he who dug her out from the ruins of the East Palace, and she had already been burned beyond recognition.
"Brother Duan, if I don't avenge this blood feud, I will die, no, rest in peace!'
"Then how are you going to retaliate?" Duan Ao's face was heavy and his eyes were filled with tears. "

"I~~I~~'
Ye Yunxi held her throat in pain and could no longer utter a word. She picked up the curtain hat on the ground and put it on her head, took a pen and paper and started writing.

"Zhou Yuanliang is dead, but Emperor Qi Heng and Prince Rui are still alive and well. I want them to die badly! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

Duan Ao also had a look of pain on his face.

"Emperor Qi Heng may not know the truth about that incident back then. Maybe it was planned by Zhou Yuanliang alone."

Zhou Yuanliang was Prime Minister Zhou who was later replaced by Zhou Qian. Prime Minister Zhou was a man who coveted glory and wealth. It was not surprising that the burning of the East Palace was his hand, but Duan Ao still didn't believe that Emperor Qi Heng was involved in it.

Ye Yunxi wrote heavily on the paper: "Emperor Qi Heng is the ultimate beneficiary. I won't believe it if he didn't participate in the beating to death."

Duan Ao held back the tears in his eyes and reached out to grab Ye Yunxi's hand that was broken into a fist. "Yuan Xi, I beg you to think about the common people in the world. The war and disasters in the Great Zhou Kingdom have just stabilized, and there must be no more chaos!"

"There will be no chaos." Ye Yunxi wrote, "As long as the lives of Emperor Qi Heng and Prince Rui are handed over, let the Night King ascend the throne."

After reading this sentence, Duan Ao fell into deep thought.

Putting aside the burning of the East Palace, Emperor Qi Heng was indecisive and lacked the decisiveness of an emperor. The Night King is indeed more suitable for that position than him.

The Night King was too filial. Even if Emperor Qi Heng wanted to give in, the Night King would never accept it.

It's better to simply
Seeing that Duan Ao didn't speak, a smile appeared on the woman's deformed lips under the curtain.

Then continue to write and talk.

"I swear, I will only take their lives and never implicate innocent people."

Duan Ao thought for a long time, sighed and stood up.

"I have something to go out during this time. Madam, please take care of yourself." After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and left in a hurry.

After he left, a nun approached Ye Yunxi.

"It seems that Mr. Duan will not interfere in Madam's affairs."

"Huh, he's so easy to fool!"

Ye Yunxi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and wrote, "This kind of man only knows how to fight and has no brains.'

Who said she only wanted the lives of Emperor Qi Heng and Prince Rui? She would take everything that originally belonged to her, including the lives of all her enemies!
Inside the city, Prince Rui's Mansion.

Prince Rui came back from the court. As soon as he got off the carriage at the gate of the mansion, a dirty-looking beggar ran over with a box in his arms.

"Are you Prince Rui?" The little beggar tilted his head and looked at Prince Rui and asked.

"Yes." Prince Rui nodded, his eyes sensitively falling on the exquisite box.

"Don't look at it, this is something for you." The little beggar stretched the box towards Prince Rui's arms and ran away.

"What? Who sent it?"

Prince Rui was not in a hurry to open it, and returned to the water pavilion in his mansion with the box in his arms.

"lady.'

Prince Rui called softly.

"Master, are you back?" Princess Rui looked over with a tender smile, put down the sweater she was knitting, poured him tea with her own hands, and then pulled the handkerchief hanging on her body to wipe Prince Rui's sweat.

"It's hot out here. I'm sweating profusely. Why don't you go change your clothes first?"

"Nothing." Prince Rui put the box on the table and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

"What is this? Where did it come from?" Princess Rui looked at the box and asked in surprise. It didn't look like anything in the palace.

"I don't know, a little beggar just gave it to me at the door of the house." Prince Rui raised his head and drank the tea. At this time, Princess Rui had already picked up the key hanging on the box and opened the lock on the box.

"Hmm~" Princess Rui picked up the handkerchief and fanned it, "Why does this smell smell like blood?" She said as she opened the lid.
