As the new year approached, Tongzhou City showed no signs of chaos and chaos. After the Northwest Army went out and captured the city, Tongzhou City had actually been in a stable state.

Although in order to support the conquest of the Northwest Army, Tongzhou has become an arsenal for processing weapons and equipment, but after Chu Huan issued the assessment order, most of the officials in Tongzhou did their duty for the sake of their own wealth and future. The good news has made Tongzhou officials full of expectations for the future, and their work efficiency is far better than during the rule of Qin.

As the end of the new year is approaching, there is a hint of the New Year in Tongzhou City, and the shops in the streets and alleys are quite lively.

In comparison, the magistrate of Tongzhou seemed deserted.

Chu Huan temporarily appointed Ximen Yi to handle the government affairs of Tongzhou temporarily. Ximen Yi was originally a child of a family in Tongzhou. The magistrate government housed the queen and the king of Qi, so Ximen Yi naturally had another office.

Inside the Zhizhou Mansion, it was deserted and clear. Chu Huan entered the city in secret, and no one knew about it. Even if he entered the Zhizhou Mansion, his subordinates were not allowed to publicize it.

On this trip back to the northwest, Tongzhou was the only way to go. Although Chu Huan was eager, he still entered the city to see the queen.

King Qi's insanity has been confirmed to be true, which made Chu Huan very emotional, knowing that the queen must be very sad.

Going along the bluestone path in the mansion to the east courtyard, before reaching the courtyard, he heard a burst of laughter, the laughter was very strange, Chu Huan turned his head to look over, but saw a man with ragged clothes and disheveled hair, holding a hand in his hand. Holding a wooden stick, he was running towards this side with a smirk, and behind him, two warriors followed closely.

Chu Huan was a little surprised when he saw this person at first, and he only took a glance and recognized King Qi. Although he broke up with King Qi Enyi, seeing King Qi was so embarrassed, his heart was not happy, and he frowned. Frowning, he was about to scold those two warriors, but King Qi had already run to the front of Chu Huan Mountain, tilting his head, looking Chu Huan up and down.

Chu Huan saw that his pupils dilated slightly, his eyes were loose, and he was far from the look he had seen back then. He knew that he could not fake it, and he was even more sure that Chu Huan's theory of madness was indeed true.

"Bold...!" Chu Huan hadn't spoken yet, but King Qi suddenly pointed a wooden stick at Chu Huan and scolded, "You dog slave, why didn't you kneel when you saw this king? Are you planning to rebel? This king is about to go out to suppress the rebellion, so I will cut off your head to sacrifice the flag!" Turning around, he shouted: "Come on, take this dog servant down and cut it off!"

Chu Huan sighed softly, but cupped his hands and said, "My lord!"

When King Qi heard it, he immediately smiled and said: "You dog slave knows your mistakes and can correct them. This king is a kind person, so I will forgive you once." He waved the wooden stick in his hand and said, "Say, this king How about the sword? This is the sword my father used to conquer the world, he gave it to me last night, hahaha, do you know why my father gave me the sword?"

Chu Huan looked at King Qi with pity and shook his head. King Qi said with a chuckle, "Of course you don't understand your father's intentions. In this world, who can understand your father's intentions except this king? This king tells you, Father is going to pass on the throne to me, he only likes me, this sword is the proof."

At this time, the two warriors had already stepped forward and saluted Chu Huan. Chu Huan frowned and asked, "Why is the prince so sloppy? Why didn't you change him into new clothes? Did you bully him because you saw him like this?"

The warrior hurriedly said: "I don't dare. Tell the king, King Qi has never allowed anyone to touch him, not to mention changing clothes, even if he touches a hair of his hair, he will go crazy. We wanted to help him bathe and change clothes a while ago, but he injured someone, and he even tore and bit, we...we didn't dare to hurt him, so...!"

Chu Huan came to his senses, knowing that he had his own orders, the guards did not dare to align with Wang Yongqiang, and asked, "Didn't the Queen intervene?"

The two warriors looked at each other, both lowered their heads and said nothing.

Seeing this, Chu Huan became even more annoyed, and shouted, "Still talking?"

A samurai could only say: "My lord, after that incident, the empress...the empress has never left this courtyard gate again. Apart from sending people to deliver food and water inside, we dare not go in to disturb you. Your lord It's like this every day, we... we can't stop it, we can only guard by our side."

At this time, King Qi really treated it like a sword. He took out a brocade cloth from somewhere in his hand. The brocade cloth was extremely dirty, but he carefully wiped the wooden stick with the brocade cloth, and muttered to himself: "There are many bad people in the world, and they all want to kill this king. If this king has this sword, he will not be afraid of anyone and will kill all the bad people in the world."

Chu Huan sighed and approached, but King Qi immediately reacted and pointed a wooden stick at Chu Huan, with a look of alert on his face, and even a trace of panic in his eyes: "What are you going to do? You... ..Are you trying to kill me?"

"My lord, you've worked very hard, why don't you go take a bath and change your clothes, and have a good rest." Chu Huan said in a gentle voice with a hint of a smile, "Only by recharging your energy can you quell the rebellion and kill all the bad guys in the world."

King Qi thought for a while, looked left and right, then approached Chu Huan slightly, and said in a low voice, "I can't bathe and change clothes. Many people want to kill me, and they will kill me while I'm bathing." Wang's. Do you know Chu Huan?"

Chu Huan was taken aback, and could only say, "My lord wants to see Chu Huan?"

"I don't want to see you, I don't want to see you." King Qi said immediately, with a hint of resentment in his eyes: "You know, he has been lying to me before, me... I always thought he was a good person, But he is the biggest traitor, he wants to take this king's life with all his heart, and this king will not lose to him...!" There was a look of fear in his eyes, and he looked around nervously , and even lowered his voice: "He is right beside me, staring at me secretly, as long as he finds a chance, he will kill me...!"

Chu Huan was disappointed, but even after King Qi became insane, he still regarded himself as the biggest enemy, which showed the hatred for him in this man's heart.

King Qi spoke in a low voice, but Chu Huan had quietly raised his hand around the back of King Qi's head, and lightly cut it on the back of King Qi's head. The two warriors were slightly surprised when they saw this, thinking that King Qi Chu Huan was annoyed by his rude words, so Chu Huan shot to kill him.

Chu Huan's palm knife cut the back of King Qi's head. King Qi rolled his eyes, swayed his body, and fell forward. Chu Huan had already stretched out his arms to hug him, and stretched out his hands to stroke the hair covering King Qi's cheeks. Days gone by, King Qi is very thin, his cheekbones are slightly protruding, and there are many small cuts in the skin on his face, he no longer looks like a prince back then.

Staring at King Qi's cheek, Chu Huan was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly, muttering to himself: "No matter what, the kindness and resentment in the past will go with it, and I will not leave you behind." The two warriors said: "You take him to take a bath, wash him well, and change into clean clothes. He is my king's brother, you should take good care of him."

Only then did the two warriors realize that King Chu had just knocked King Qi unconscious, so they stepped forward carefully to lift King Qi up and retreated.

After King Qi left, Chu Huan was silent for a moment, then turned and entered the east courtyard. The courtyard was silent and terribly deserted. He walked slowly into the courtyard, and when he reached the main door, he saw the There was a gleam of light, but the door was ajar. He knocked lightly on the door, but there was no sound in the room. Chu Huan thought for a while, and then gently pushed the door open.

It was dark, but there were no lights in the house. After Chu Huan entered the house, he could see that the light in the house was coming from the corner of the house. The sesame oil lamp looks very simple, but the queen is facing the door at this time, dressed in plain clothes, with a white gauze covering her head, kneeling devoutly in front of the bronze Buddha.

Chu Huan walked over lightly, and the queen obviously sensed that someone had entered the door, but she didn't turn her head back, and didn't even move a bit.

Walking behind the queen, looking at the queen's back, Chu Huan was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I didn't expect this to happen, but don't worry, I will ask a famous doctor to help the prince regain his sanity, and I will take good care of him in the future."

The queen did not speak.

"I know you are very sad." Chu Huan sighed softly, walked to the side of the queen, knelt down in front of the bronze Buddha, turned his head slightly, and saw the queen dimly through the white gauze and by the light of the fire. With half of his face, he said softly: "Some things have already happened, if you want to change, you can't go back."

The queen finally turned her head slowly. Under the light, the queen's face was a little pale and looked quite haggard, but her mature face was still beautiful, and her expression was very calm. Looking into Chu Huan's eyes, she said softly: "I'm waiting for you, just want to ask you one thing."

"you say!"

"Jen is dead, and what is left is only a dispensable body. I only hope that you can send someone to take good care of this body." The queen's voice was as calm as water, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Chu Huan's, " Now that you're here, I should go too."

"Go?" Chu Huan frowned, "Where are you going?"

The queen said: "There is always a place I can go to. For many years, I have never let it go. I always thought I could catch something, but in the end I found that I can't catch anything. If this is the case, I should let go of everything."

"Let go of everything?" Chu Huan glanced at the bronze Buddha, "I don't understand what you mean."

"I am a woman with bad luck." The queen said: "I bring only bad luck to the people around me. Such a woman should not exist in this world. But my crimes are too heavy. If I commit suicide just like this, Unable to pay for the sins I committed, I can only spend the rest of my life atoning for my mistakes."

"The Qingdeng Ancient Buddha is your method of redemption?" Chu Huan said in a deep voice, "You say you have sin karma, but who would say you are guilty? Everyone has their own destiny, and all the results are just what they have. As a result, how can their success or failure be determined by a woman? Do they have to be borne by a woman like you?"

The queen sighed quietly: "If it wasn't for me, I wouldn't be what I am today. Sowing good causes good fruits, and planting evil causes evil fruits. Today's evil fruits were planted by me."
