Devil's Concubine

Chapter 207: A Monstrous Scene (4)
"What choice will I make?" Tilting his neck slightly, Mo Ranchen recalled the figure of Chu Yunshang before he left, and sadness slipped quietly in his eyes.

Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be balanced, and the same is true for family affairs and state affairs.

Mo Ranchen knew clearly in his heart that even if things happened again, Empress Chen would still make this choice, and so would he.

Because, some responsibilities, even if it is death, cannot be shirked.

And this is his fate!
In the living room of Liufangyuan, a candle lamp was like a bean, illuminating a small corner of the living room.

Chu Yunshang sat at the table with a letter in his hand.

This letter was given to her by Chu Beibei at the order of her father. At that time, Chu Beibei said that she would open it when the time came.

Chu Yunshang was suspicious of such a letter and wanted to open it many times to read it, but in the end she held back because she knew it was not yet time.

But recently, too many things happened. Chu Cong resigned and returned home, the Empress Dowager of Chu State was critically ill, Emperor Molong was in civil strife, and the army of Qi State and Qin State oppressed the border, staring at her like a tiger.

The situation is developing towards an irreversible trend.

Chu Yunshang thought, maybe it's time to take it apart and have a look.

By the candlelight, Chu Yunshang slowly tore open the mud seal, and she hadn't completely torn it apart yet, she found her hands were trembling.

Such a hand never trembled when murdering and setting fire, but it trembled when opening a letter.

Chu Yunshang's mood became inexplicably very tense, as if he had some kind of strange telepathy. Before he opened it, he knew in advance that the content of this letter was extremely unusual, otherwise Father wouldn't be like this Solemnly let Chu Beibei hand it over to her.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yunshang forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, like dismantling a ticking time bomb, and finally, he tore apart the mud from the envelope and pulled out the letter paper.

A thin sheet of letter paper with Chu Cong's handwriting on it.

The dim candlelight and the content on the letter gradually came into Chu Yunshang's eyes.

There was very little content. After Chu Yunshang finished reading, his pupils shrank slightly, and the fingers holding the letter paper curled up, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.

The whole person is like a nightmare, wandering in the sky, unable to wake up for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yunshang's hand trembled slightly. She picked up the letter and threw it under the candle lamp. With a snort, the letter quickly burned to ashes.

But the content inside was like a knife carving, deeply engraved into Chu Yunshang's mind and heart, and will never be forgotten.

Getting up, she came to the window, stared at the crescent moon outside the window, dazed for a long time, then looked in another direction, where was the Grand Tutor's Mansion in the east of the city.

"Father, is this the reason why you retired to the farm? But why didn't you tell me about it yourself."

Faintly, with a soft sigh, Chu Yunshang's heart felt as if a boulder had been crushed on it, and it was so suffocating that it was hard to breathe.

My heart hurts so much!
It was as if someone was holding a huge syringe and drawing blood, the pain was painful, suffocating, and numb.

"My lord father, why didn't you tell me earlier? Was it worth it for you to bear the fate of the Chu family?"

does it worth?
In the face of national justice, the life and death of individuals have always been like ants.

Chu Yunshang couldn't ask Chu Cong this question, because she herself was a person with an extremely weak sense of belonging.

But why did things become like this.

Suddenly, he roared: "God, don't you even think I don't like me and give me problems?"

After the words fell, a purple figure floated over.

The figure was extremely fast and unrestrained, and it came to the window in an instant, stood outside the window, and met her eyes.

Xiao Shen has never seen such a sad side of Chu Yunshang. The Chu Yunshang he knew was carefree and unrestrained, the one who didn't change his face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of his eyes, and the one who killed people like weeds while chatting and laughing. , why so sad?
"Yunshang, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Shen asked softly, suppressing the worry in his heart.

"You're here." Chu Yunshang smiled at him, and the smile was also bitter.

Xiao Shen nodded slightly: "I haven't left."

Although Xiao Shen hasn't shown his face these days, he has been secretly concerned about every move in Mingyue City. He knows that with Chu Yunshang's ability, his life will not be in danger, so he is not in a hurry to show up.

But I didn't expect that when I came here today, I saw Chu Yunshang like this.

Is it because the ink stains the dust?
Or because of the Chu family?

Why, Chu Yunshang in front of him is so strange that he hardly dares to recognize him.

Why did my heart ache?

Is it because of her that it hurts?
Xiao Shen did not dare to admit it, nor could he admit it.

He stood outside the window, under the moonlight, in his eyes, the purple light was raging, and his mood fluctuated.

"Yeah, you haven't left." After saying something in a low voice, Chu Yunshang added another sentence in his heart: "But, I'm leaving!"

Xiao Shen had never heard Chu Yunshang speak like this before, he became more and more uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Yunshang, is something happened, can you tell me?"

Even though he knew that maybe this question shouldn't be asked, and if he asked, he would definitely not get an answer, but he couldn't help asking.

"I am fine."

Sure enough, Chu Yunshang shook his head slightly: "Since you're here, come in and have a cup of tea before you leave."

"Okay." Xiao Shen nodded vigorously, and entered through the window.

He was really worried about Chu Yunshang's appearance.

Chu Yunshang poured him a cup of tea, handed it to him, and then there was no other reaction.

Xiao Shen held the tea, and didn't have any intention of drinking it. He kept looking at Chu Yunshang, trying very hard to see what happened to make a woman like her look like this.

Then, he saw an envelope on the table, and saw the remains of burning ashes under the candle lamp.
