Chapter 108 So, in the end, we have to say goodbye in this way?
On this side of the mountain, Chu Jian was rescued by Fuso and after a little treatment, she continued her journey in a coma.
On the other side of the mountain, when Jing Muyang discovered smoke in the valley and rushed to the scene, the fire was almost out.
Everyone rushed forward to check. The small village in the valley was almost burned to ashes. Corpses were lying all over the place, and blood mixed with dew was flowing on the ground. It was obvious that something had happened that morning.
Almost all those outside the house died from sword wounds, the kind that were fatal with one sword, and almost all those inside the house were burned to death. Some had already been burned to charcoal, which was obviously the fire that was started by pouring kerosene.
All of them, young and old, men and women, died in tragic ways. Jing Muyang could hardly breathe.
"Prince!" Qingye entered a room and heard her exclaim.
A bad premonition came to his mind and Jing Muyang felt a little suffocated. He staggered into the house. In fact, he could see everything without going in. After all, the wooden house was almost burned down except for a few beams.
Qingshan pushed away the fallen beam in front of him and saw Qingye standing there, staring at the bed with red eyes. In addition to a twisted and charred corpse pressed by the purlins on the bed, there was also something that was extremely familiar to them.
The unpolished gem that you first see.
It was the unpolished jade that was buried in the coffin, and the blank jade plaque that formed a pair with Jing Muyang's jade plaque with the word "war".
Everyone was nervous. Qingye carefully picked up the jade and handed it to Jing Muyang.
Jing Muyang took it and rubbed it in his hands after observing it carefully. He stared at the twisted charred corpse on the bed without blinking. His head felt dizzy and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
So, is this how we have to say goodbye in the end?
"First time meeting you, first time meeting you..."
Finally, Jing Muyang couldn't bear it anymore, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and passed out.
"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu!"
"Your Highness!" The Fourth Prince and Qingshan caught him on the side. Qingshan immediately took out a medicine bottle and took out a pill for him to take.
"Qinglin, go make some room and carry Xiaojiu outside first."
Qinglin quickly cleared a relatively flat area and spread a cloak on it, and Qingshan and the Fourth Prince laid him down on it.
"Go check the situation first." The Fourth Prince gave the order.
"Fourth Prince, the bodies of men in black were found in the south, and there were signs of a fight." Qingmu came over to check the surroundings, "Prince, what happened?"
"Aoki, your princess is really dead this time." The fourth prince put the unpolished jade in his hand.
"Princess? Princess..." Qingmu took it and knelt down crying, "Princess!"
He had been expecting a miracle, but it did not happen. He could escape death once, but not a second time. He also wanted to hear the princess tell him in person who killed Jin Xiang. Now the princess is dead, and all clues are gone.
*
Jing Muyang has not woken up yet. Qingshan and his men checked all the dead. Except for the indigenous people, none of the others had anything on them that could prove their identity.
Everyone dug a big pit and buried all those killed by the men in black in one place. After all, they had taken care of Chu Jian, and burying them properly was the only thing they could do.
The Fourth Prince also ordered that the body curled up on the bed that was burned be buried separately, and a simple wooden tablet be erected with Chu Jian's name engraved on it.
This place is too far from the capital, the weather is getting hot, and long-distance transportation is not convenient. Let Chu Jian rest here with the green water and green mountains.
The main thing is to finish this matter quickly before Jing Muyang wakes up, otherwise he doesn’t know how he will face the charred corpse.
However, Jing Muyang had been unconscious for two days and had not woken up yet. The Fourth Prince called all the doctors in Nan'an City, but they were all helpless.
A bottle of medicine was sent over from Qingshui Town. There were only three pills in it. It was said that it was sent by the Crown Prince of Nanbang. One pill could sustain the body for three days. The Fourth Prince was so angry that he almost chopped the person who delivered the medicine to death.
"Fourth Prince, let's hurry back to the capital. Maybe Dean He has a solution."
Qingshan and the others were also anxious and angry, and they were definitely more anxious.
Just like that, the Fourth Prince quickly brought the unconscious Jing Muyang back to Beijing. On the way, he still gave Jing Muyang the pill sent by the Crown Prince of Nanbang to swallow. There was no other way, Jing Muyang was almost dying, so he had to give it a try.
The capital had already received the news before they returned. When the emperor heard the news, he was so angry that he overturned the dragon case in the Yangxin Palace. He really didn't expect that Xiaojiu and the others would actually find Chu Jian in Nan'an. Not only was she hunted down, but she was also burned to death in an attempt to destroy the body!
The emperor himself disliked Chu Jian and even thought it would be better if she died, but that didn't mean others could bully his family again and again!
After all, it was he who granted the marriage decree when we first met, and we would be buried together as husband and wife with his son Jing Muyang in the future!
The emperor summoned Dean He and asked him to leave the capital and meet up with the Fourth Prince and his men halfway, but Dean He refused to leave the capital.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Zhan has already told me that if he has an accident outside, I must not leave the capital, and it is best not to leave the palace at all."
"Why? Xiaojiu's life or death is uncertain now. You are the only one in the world who can save him and there might be a glimmer of hope. Do you want to watch him die?! He has already died once, I will not allow him to die again! Dean He, you must leave immediately! If you are late, I will kill your entire family!"
"Your Majesty!" Dean He knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, even if you kill my whole family, I will not leave the palace. Since the King of Zhan has given this instruction, it is obvious that he has anticipated this situation. He said that if he encounters this situation, there must be a conspiracy behind it. If I leave the capital, I will be killed and there is no way to save me. On the contrary, Your Majesty will be in danger in the palace and may be killed. For the stability of the country, he asked me to stay by your side until death."
"Xiao Jiu said that? What else did he tell you?!"
Although the emperor felt sorry for his son, he was also somewhat dissatisfied that Dean He actually put Xiaojiu's order before his own.
"Prince Zhan said that the imperial guards in the palace have been handed over to the son of Marquis Dingyuan, Fan Shixiang. His life was saved by Princess Zhan. The entire Marquis Dingyuan Mansion serves Prince Zhan's Mansion. Your Majesty can use them without any worries.
The group of mighty generals are the War King's men, and the emperor can use them without worry;
In order to prevent the usurper from killing the emperor, the War King has ordered that after he leaves the capital, if he wants to mobilize the 100,000 soldiers in the capital camp, he must have the emperor's dragon seal in addition to the tiger talisman. The capital camp will receive the news of his accident at the first time, and will station 30,000 troops in the west of the city, so that the emperor can call them at any time;
I received news early this morning that the soldiers have arrived."
The emperor trembled and slumped in his chair. Why did Xiaojiu do this? Did he see it so clearly? Did he know who did it?
Jing Muyang handed over all his hidden forces in the capital to the emperor. He was even afraid that the princes would fight for the tiger talisman to threaten the emperor, so he made a backup plan. Ordering the dragon seal to hold the tiger talisman hostage was naturally the most direct and unexpected way.
"When did Xiaojiu tell you all this?"
"On the first day he handed over the tiger talisman."
So, Jing Muyang found out something or realized something, and used the more than ten days when he controlled the government to arrange all this?
The emperor rubbed his head. This son whom he had always entrusted with important tasks, who worked hard and never complained, had done so many things. It could be said that half of Lingyin Kingdom was guarded by Xiaojiu alone. Xiaojiu was fully capable and confident of competing for the throne, but he still did not fight for it, only because his father had told him that the world belonged to the prince.
The emperor sat in the chair in a daze for a long time.
"Headmaster He, do you think I really did something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, please do not let your imagination run wild. Take care of yourself, stabilize the government, and resolve the upcoming storm. This is the top priority."
Dean He knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
