The sun was in full bloom and the smell of blood did not stop, and the little blood was spreading towards the forest, and it was still bright red and strong, and it should have only been left for a long time.

Endured the severe pain on his body and walked along the bloodstains, the forest was cloudy, and from time to time there was the sound of birds, but fortunately, most of the beasts were in hibernation, so the journey was smooth.

After following the bloodstains for half a day's journey, about to a water source, the river was turbulent, and the bloodstains were gone, and in a panic they could only choose a road, and they didn't have time to think about it, so they searched for the lower reaches of the river, maybe they could find some clues.

After a while, one man was seen standing by the river from a distance, while the other seemed to be unconscious. The man standing was holding a sword in his right hand and wanted to cut his arm horizontally, and that person was Han Qi who I had been looking for a long time.

What was he going to do, did he harm himself, I was suspicious, but at that time I only felt that something was wrong, and hid behind a big tree to watch what happened.

I saw that Han Qi's face was like frost, cold and biting, the sword was as easy as a pen and paper in his hand, and his body was like a fish on the board to be slaughtered, I covered my mouth with both hands to prevent myself from making a sound out of fear.

But he still found out, he tilted his ears and jumped to my side quickly, the cold arrow was already mercilessly on my neck, and at that moment, it seemed that there was really a moment, I felt that I would die at his hands.

Feeling the warm blood from his neck, his brain could no longer support his consciousness, and he only felt that his whole body fell into his arms as soon as he felt weak.

Han Qi firmly caught my falling body, one hand covered my flowing blood, in fact, he at that time made me feel very strange, I have been with Han Qi for ten years, at that moment I realized that I had never understood him, nor had I ever entered his heart......

I felt myself by the fire, and I thought it was like Han Qi when he was roasting rabbit meat with me a few days ago, and I dreamed that he was smiling, and his gentle eyes were full of pampering.

Later, when the war was imminent, he ruthlessly planned to leave me behind and die, and then the corpses were all over the field, and his cold eyes, the eyes I had never seen before, were like another person occupying his body and taking away his consciousness.

In a trance, I tried to shake my head, there was some fishy sweetness in my throat, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from my mouth, but it seemed to linger on the verge of death for a long time, and I was dragged back again.

When I opened my eyes, there was a blur of flesh and blood, which was ...... Han Qi's arm.

His arm was already bright red, dripping with blood, and the white joints in it were faintly visible, while the owner of the arm was expressionless, as if he had injured not himself, but an unrelated person.

I squirmed and tried to get up, but my whole body was aching and unbearable, the wound on my neck had been treated, and the rest was unpleasant.

When he saw that I was awake, he hurriedly walked to my side, and I saw that his dark eyes were full of cold night, and he helped me to sit up slowly, and wiped the blood from the corners of my mouth with his middle sleeve.

Looking around, he had changed places, still near the river, but it was not the original position, and he spoke slowly, without the warmth of the past

"Why are you here?"

In this sentence I heard doubts and temptations, and I never thought until I died that the first thing I said when I saw him was why you are here.

I didn't know how to answer him, but I suddenly remembered the way he was going to stab himself with his sword that day by the river, and I saw the wound on his arm, and I suddenly ......

I stared at his arm carefully, but I didn't understand why he didn't treat the wound, and he smiled lightly

"You've seen it all."

I nodded, my eyes glanced slightly, there was a person lying behind him, already scarred and dying, his chest was still slightly undulating, obviously not dead, I tried to see his face clearly, that is, Han Yuwen......

Han Qi saw that my eyes fell on Han Yuwen, and he didn't explain much.

"Will you kill him?"

I never dreamed that the first thing I said was to ask him this, but the words were out of my mouth, and I could not regret it, and the moment the blood in my mouth touched the air, it seemed to burn on my tongue, hot and fishy.

He didn't seem to expect me to ask him that, and said lightly

"No, he can't die."

A terrible thought came to my mind, and I felt my body trembling violently, and I still wanted to hear his explanation, and before the words came out, I felt that my voice trembled unnaturally.

"It's you...... Kill them? ”

I saw his squatting body stunned suddenly, and then stood up suddenly, he knew who I was talking about, I wanted to know, whether Han Fu's death was related to him, I wanted to know if the death of those soldiers was caused by him.

I just felt as if there was a big rock in my heart, and I felt uncomfortable, and I gulped in the air, trying to wash the stone down, but I wanted to know the answer.

He turned away, no longer looking me in the eye, and his stoic voice sounded as if he was forcing himself to spit out the words

"I had to."

I was struck by lightning, and I couldn't hear anything clearly in my ears, as if the culprit was not Han Qi, but myself......

I killed them, and I caused them to break up their wives. I think back to everything I did, and I remember it vividly, as if it were yesterday.

Those soldiers who died tragically sacrificed themselves because of a war that could not be won.

I just felt a warm cheek, and I didn't know whether to be glad that the person who died was not my own mother, or to be sad that I had hurt so many people.

"The royal battle has always been so cruel, you shouldn't see this."

His calm voice sounded from not far away, as if killing so many people was as natural to him as crushing an ant, as if this time should be a victim of the royal power struggle.

I looked at him, not so much to blame him, but to hate myself, maybe it wasn't him, it was the soldiers of Qi who died under the knife today......

He walked slowly to my side, took me in his arms, and said softly

"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you."

I was a little dazed, didn't he want to say that he was sorry for taking advantage of you, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down, and he couldn't help crying in his arms, like a criminal who killed someone, and felt sad about it.

Later, I slept in his arms for an unknown amount of time, and when I woke up, it was already early in the morning, and there was still a rushing river around me.

His body had improved a lot, he had lost the previous soreness, and he could already walk and sit and lie down normally, and when he followed Han Qi back to the camp, only a small number of troops were still holding the camp, and when he saw Han Qi, he quickly knelt down and cried bitterly.

Their brothers and relatives all died on the battlefield, and now they are left to survive, Han Qi comforted them warmly, they still want to fight again, but now there are less than 1,000 people and horses, and all the grain and grass have been eaten, if they don't return to the court, what awaits them is only death.

I never imagined that one day I would feel guilty in front of so many innocent people, and when I set out again, I was already planning to return to the court, and everyone was dejected and grief-stricken.

Looking at Qi Guo not far away, I seemed to have the illusion that I was going home, but I couldn't go back. Han Qi and I got into the carriage one after another, and most of the people were missing, and the marching speed along the way was much faster, but the difference was only everyone's state of mind.

After a little and a half month of travel, I passed by a wine shop, and the guests were all dressed in strange costumes, and the clothing totems of the clothes did not belong to the Qi Kingdom, nor did they look like the costumes of the Yin Kingdom, but they looked like the clothes of the Wu people.

I saw a hint of fierceness flashing in Han Qi's eyes, in order to prevent further danger when returning to the DPRK this time, Han Qi ordered everyone to wear only ordinary clothes, which were not easy to show, so he hid his identity everywhere he went, and no one noticed.

When I saw his deep eyes, I knew that he was going to make the next move, but what I didn't expect was that Han Qi did not arrest those people on the spot, but secretly sent people to follow them, but fortunately, those people were not very alarmed and did not notice it.

And the army is still the same as before, rushing all day long, and this time the road they took is different from when they came, probably because they are worried about the pursuit of the Qi Kingdom.

Except for the time in the carriage, the rest of the time Han Qi would discuss important matters with the generals and soldiers of the army, and Han Yuwen was asleep from beginning to end, as if someone had given him ecstasy soup, and he couldn't wake up anyway.

It took more than a month to arrive. There was a dead silence in the city of Yinzhou, about everyone knew about the defeat of the army, and no one dared to post a happy color in the street, and most of the people, seeing the army hurrying by, looked embarrassed, and seemed to not want to catch fire.

After returning to the mansion, Youqing's face was already full of anxiety, Qin Yu entered the palace with the army, and there was no one in the mansion. Youqing kept asking me about the camp, but I didn't know where to start, so I could only tell him that my father and mother were all right, and she was relieved.

After a few days, Youqing brought me a lot of snacks from the kitchen, and when he saw that I had come back, I looked like a different person, and my eyes were full of worry, and I didn't dare to ask more, so I had to ask the doctor to treat me.

The imperial doctor cowered in, his face was ugly, it was probably because something unsatisfactory had happened in the palace, and he didn't speak, and after taking the pulse for me, he said in a deep voice

"The princess is overworked, and it will be okay to recuperate for a few days, but the Third Highness ......"

I was shocked, didn't Han Qi go back to Beijing to face the saint, after careful calculation, he hadn't returned home for a few days, could something have happened?

I motioned for him to speak quickly, and the Imperial Physician stammered

"His Royal Highness is seriously injured, although he will not die, but he still needs to recuperate for many days."

I got up, looked at him anxiously, and spoke slowly

"Can you tell me what happened in the palace and why everyone looked so sad?"

When I asked him, he was so difficult that he couldn't seem to speak.

I told Youqingsai to give him some silver taels, and he spoke slowly

"The crown prince is mourned all over the world, in addition to the prince's scattered ministers, the crown prince's close attendants and guards, and 600 officials and guards under the leadership of the inner government, and the servants until the 27th. But the position of the new crown prince is worrying.

The second prince died at an early age, only the three princes and the four princes in the court were of the right age, and almost all of them turned to the four princes, and the emperor is now a suspicious person, and after the mourning period expires, the crown prince's position is only afraid that it will be passed to the four highnesses. ”

After saying that, I bowed respectfully, and I realized that the emperor was suspicious of Han Qi after all......
