The general's wife through time

Chapter 248 Mo Ran sets himself on fire
In the Duan family, Duan Jingchu was carried to the ancestral hall by Duan Jingchen.

"Why do you do this? Explain clearly in front of our ancestors!" Duan Jingchen said angrily.

If he hadn't been too upset to sleep tonight and couldn't go out to get some air, he wouldn't have known that Bunny was secretly practicing the Sacrifice Spell in the house. In vain did he think that Bunny had become more and more successful as an errand in the Yamen during this period, and he had written those... They are all appearances and deceptive.

The Duan family has been loyal to the family for generations, and they used to be the Forbidden Army or deputy generals in the army. Therefore, compared to Duan Jingchen's current embarrassing status, the tablets in the Duan family's ancestral hall are not ambiguous at all.

"It's not because of you!" The old lady of the Duan family strode into the ancestral hall, closed the door, and shouted before Duan Jingchu.

Her voice was one part angry and one part sad, "How do you think you came back from the dead back then? It was only the second brother who died for most of his life that saved you!"

"What do you mean?" Duan Jingchen was stunned. Wasn't it because he happened to meet a hidden master that he came back from the dead? How could it be related to these crooked things done by the bastard?

The old lady of the Duan family sat down slowly on the chair and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "The rhetoric of the hidden master is half true and half false. When I heard that you were in danger on the battlefield, I ran away secretly without thinking. I went to find you. You were still unconscious when we came back. At that time, Jinshang and the Queen pretended to be seriously injured and were sent to our home to recuperate by Shangguan Xun. The Queen told me that you were surrounded by Tatars. You were pierced by thousands of arrows in order to distract the pursuers. When the second brother came to dig you out of the dead body, you were already out of breath! At that time, Meng Chen, the chief disciple of Emei, passed by and saw the second brother hugging you. He sat in the cave with your body and refused to let go. If he held it any longer, the flesh would stink. Meng Chen couldn't bear it, so he taught his second son this body-sacrifice spell. The body-sacrifice spell must use the blood of a loved one as a trigger. It took the second son ten days and almost all his body's blood to finally get your soul back. He was only eight years old at that time! Why do you think the royal family has been so courteous to our Duan family for so many years? One is because of you? I sacrificed my life, partly because my second brother impressed me and the queen. My second brother usually just pretends to be confused. He has the iron book of alchemy in his hand. Why do you think I indulge my second son? , that’s because he deserves it..."

Duan Jingchen's eyes turned red without realizing it. He pulled Duan Jingchu up and slapped him hard on the back, "You bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier? I owe you my life!"

The secret that had been weighing on his heart for so many years was finally revealed. Duan Jingchu felt that the big stone in his heart had been removed and burst into tears.

I hope the boss will stop dealing with him after he knows the truth. He loses too much blood every three months just like a woman having her menstruation. But every time at this time, the boss asks for help. His life is really fragile now. ah!

"More than just one life!" The old lady of the Duan family pointed at Duan Jingchen and choked: "Later, when you just woke up, you talked nonsense all day long, about interstellar pirates and ships, no one could understand what you said , the second son went to Emei and knelt for three days and three nights. Master Mochou didn't see him, but luckily he was able to beg Mengchen to see him. Mengchen said that you were a departed soul and you had to use the Sacrifice Curse every three months. To help you stabilize your soul, my second son will bleed you every three months. Damn you, you still beat him all the time..."

Hearing this, Duan Jingchen frowned fiercely, "No, you bastard, please tell me carefully what Mengchen said!"

He always felt that Duan Jingchu was being taken advantage of.

Now that the Queen Mother's party has been eliminated, Duan Jingchu no longer has to pretend to be a dandy, so he explained everything that happened back then.

Duan Jingchen's brows furrowed more and more as he listened, and finally he turned around in circles, "No... No, second brother, maybe what Mengchen taught you was right at first, and I was rescued, but you really Are you sure that you summoned only my soul? And what Mengchen said later was wrong, because every time I tried to find the lost memory, I was inexplicably blocked by an invisible force. I guess, The sacrifice spell every three months is not to stabilize my soul, but to erase some of my memories. There may be other related implications, but I can't think of it at the moment. In short, tonight's sacrifice spell is Pause first, let’s see the reaction before making a decision..."

After being imprisoned in the First Prince's Mansion for nearly a month, Mo Ran finally couldn't remain calm anymore. He shouted an order to the palace and the imperial guards at the door in a pretentious manner: "Where is the First Prince? I want to see him! I have important matters to talk to him about. Say, go pass it on quickly!”

She originally planned to use the method of mother to son, but since the palace coup, Li Changze has never touched her again. A eunuch shook his head, "Mrs. Mo, you should go back to the room and rest. The eldest prince has left the capital. I don't know when he will come back!"

"What? When did you leave?" Mo Ran's voice couldn't help but rise eight degrees, almost breaking. Li Changze actually left Beijing. What did he do? Why didn't you tell her?

The palace people pretended not to hear Mo Ran's words and dispersed. No one here is used to Mo Ran now, not only because Mo Ran is just a concubine now, but also because everyone here is Empress Wu's confidant.

Mo Ran was well aware of his situation, so when no one paid attention to him, he didn't bother him too much and silently returned to the house.

As soon as the full moon climbed over the willow branches, a fire broke out in Mo Ran's house. The fire spread rapidly and thick smoke rose straight into the sky...

Just when Qin Huangyuan arrived at the gate of the palace, Yaoguang suddenly appeared and lowered his voice to report: "Your Majesty, Bailishi is dead. He died suddenly and unexpectedly. His death was strange. Several coworkers did an autopsy together. After an hour, nothing happened. After finding the cause of death, my subordinates thought it might be poison..."

"Well, I understand. You go back and guard the palace." Qin Shuanyuan did not have much reaction to Baili's death, and his tone was still cold and indifferent.

"Yes!" Yao Guang responded and stepped back respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Mo De has confessed everything. He said that everything was ordered by Mo Ran, but Mo Ran definitely does not have such rigorous logic. I guess that all of this is inseparable from the Huashan Sect. After all, Wei Junbao left with the Queen Mother before. Too close."

It’s not easy to talk about the secrets of the royal family, just stop here. Qin Huangyuan coughed lightly and naturally changed to the next topic, "Your Majesty, the people and the ship that the prince left at sea have now docked smoothly, and the matter of Mo De has also It needs to be dried for a while before looking at it, and this sword discussion in Huashan is likely to have a huge impact on the court, so I ask you to go to Huashan to help your majesty eliminate all hidden dangers. "

"If you want a wife, just tell me straight away. You have to go through such a big roundabout with me. I'm tired of listening to you even if you say it." Emperor Jingkang narrowed his cold eyes and looked at Qin Huangyuan playfully.

They are all men who have come here, so what can’t be said about that? In addition to being the emperor, he is also your elder Qin Shuanyuan! How could he not take care of a hard-working couple like you?

Just when Emperor Jingkang was about to relent and allow Qin Huangyuan to go to Huashan, Little Eunuch Li suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, Mo Ran lit a fire in the eldest prince's palace and committed suicide!"

Emperor Jingkang glanced at little Eunuch Li, "This is not a big deal. If a concubine dies, she will die. Looking at you like this, I really don't know when you will catch up with your master's ability."

Little Eunuch Li shrank his neck, swallowed, and continued bravely: "Your Majesty, the key is not that Mo Ran is dead, but that she is not dead. With such a big fire, she only burned the right half of her face. That’s all.”

Qin Huangyuan snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, there are many ways to avoid fire. Maybe Mo Ran knows how to save himself, so it's not surprising that he only hurt his face. What's strange is why Mo Ran set himself on fire, and why he didn't die after committing suicide..."
