After a whole day and a night of fighting, the sky of the capital was already stained with blood. Rivers of blood, corpses strewn across the field, and a miserable scene filled the field, like the deepest part of hell...... Even hell, that's it.

Zhou Youchen personally issued an edict, as long as Chu Jingchuan is willing to confess and surrender, then his family and his generals and soldiers can all be exempted from capital crimes!

Zhou Youchen hung the edict in front of the stone gate in front of the school field, so that Chu Jingchuan could see it clearly. However, Chu Jingchuan still stuck to the school ground, refused to surrender, and would not admit his guilt.

Tu Du rested opposite his school yard, and all the shops on the street were looted by the ordinary people who took advantage of the fire to loot.

Tu Du placed Wu Wu and his daughter on the upper floor of an inn, where the environment was quite neat and clean, much better than the dilapidated palace.

He wanted her and his daughter to stay by his side, and never to leave his sight for half a minute.

Wuwu endured his sadness, bathed and changed his daughter's clothes, and let her go comfortably to Tudu's arms.

Tu Du didn't know how many times he had washed his hands, and all the clothes on his body had been changed, for fear that his daughter would smell the smell of blood on his body.

Tu Du was wearing a white middle coat and slowly pacing in the house with his daughter in his arms.

The child was still awake, she had no idea what was going on outside, a pair of big eyes looked at Tu Du and blinked, and from time to time she would purse her mouth and laugh slightly.

What a soft and lovely child, her body was as soft as water, and so warm, with a little imperceptible milky fragrance.

Tu Du's heart was hot, and he couldn't describe his feelings at this moment in words, but he was reluctant to let his sight go away for a moment. He touched the child's cheek with his fingers, making her grin.

The way she laughed made him fascinated.

It was the second time he had seen her, but he felt that she seemed to have grown up a little more than the last time he had seen her.

"She......" Tu Du slowly spoke, but he wanted to speak and stopped.

As if he had guessed his thoughts, he said lightly: "Children always grow up quickly. Sometimes it feels like it just takes a blink of an eye to grow up. ”

"The child doesn't have a name yet. Great Khan, choose a name for our daughter. ”

Carefree walked over and stroked her daughter's cheek.

Tu Du had never thought about this question, but he blurted out: "Moon, I'm going to call her Moon." ”

She is a child more beautiful than the moon.

Worry-free groaned slightly when she heard this, and then said, "Then her milk name is "Yue'er". ”

"Yue'er." Tu Du said these two words softly, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Yue'er was amused by him, but soon, she was sleepy.

Before she fell asleep, Tu Du was reluctant to put her down.

Until Carefree reminded him: "Great Khan, she has always slept deeply, you can put her down." ”

Hearing this, Tu Du put her on the bed, sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "When it's over, let's go back together." ”

Worry-free was slightly stunned when he heard this, and bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't answer herself, Tu Du got up and walked towards her.

His gaze slowly swept over her cheeks, which were red and swollen, with a faint five-finger print.

"Who did this?" Tu Du's fingertips twined her cheek.

Worry-free subconsciously dodged for a while, and only said, "It's not important." ”

Tu Du turned her face, met her gaze, and asked, "It's Chu Jingchuan, he hit you." ”

Carefree eyes, long eyelashes flutter slightly.

"He's my elder, he's my uncle."

Tu Du took a deep breath and said, "He shouldn't have taken you away and let me lose you." ”

He tried his best to endure his anger, otherwise, he hated to lead someone to capture Chu Jingchuan alive now.

"Uncle has his own troubles." Carefree grabbed his hand and clenched it hard. "Over the years, the Chu family has been too unsatisfactory, and my uncle has a lot of resentment in his heart. He wants to win everything back for the Chu family......"

She couldn't tell him about the past, and she didn't expect him to understand. She only hoped that he wouldn't hurt her uncle and wouldn't touch him in the slightest.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, Tu Du looked at her with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice: "Even if I am willing to let him go, will your father and mother let him go?" He is a rebel, and he cannot live. ”

Carefree eyes flashed slightly, and he only said: "No matter what, I always have to do my best." ”

Now is not the time to pursue right and wrong, as a member of the Chu family, there are some things she must do.

Actually, what she really wanted to say was that she wanted to enter the palace. She was going to see her father and mother......

Tu Du seemed to anticipate it, frowned, and before he could speak, he saw Wuwu raise his eyes to look at him: "Great Khan, do you trust me?" ”

Tu Du was stunned by her question, and he didn't answer.

Wuwu said: "When the matter of the Chu family is over, I will go back with you and never come back." ”

She said it categorically, word by word.

Tu Du frowned a little helplessly, then took her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"You, you......"

Stubborn as her, stubborn as her, no matter how many words she has, she can only turn into a sigh.

…

Gao Fu used the night to settle the losses in the palace, and there is no doubt that the losses were heavy.

The people who poured into the palace took away the things in the palace, antiques, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings...... However, if the things are gone, they can be found again, the doors and windows can be repaired, the houses can be repaired, and as long as the emperor comes back, everything will be fine.

It's just that the mother is still asleep, and it has been a day and a night.

There was no news of Jiao Changqing outside, and the few imperial doctors who came back were all clueless.

They can't tell what's wrong with the mother? only said that she suffered from the wind and cold, and her liver was stagnation, and she was not good from head to toe.

Chu Jingchuan seems to have made up his mind to survive with the emperor for a long time. He did not surrender, and the emperor did not move him, and seemed to be very patient.

When the sky was bright, he went to Cining Palace to take a look.

The dim morning light shone on the emperor's body, reflecting his eyebrows, eyes and facial features, making him look ten years older.

After this catastrophe, the emperor looked much haggard.

Zhou Youchen didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, and when he heard the footsteps behind him, he asked, "Has anyone found it?" ”

Gao Fuli replied softly: "The slave should be damned, he hasn't found the whereabouts of Master Jiao yet......"

As soon as the words fell, he heard the clucking of the emperor's knuckles.

Zhou Youchen clenched his fists: "Keep looking!" ”

In this world, there is no one who knows Meng Xilan's body better than Chu Jingchuan. He must have a way to wake her up sooner.

"Yes......"

When the footsteps behind him were far away, Zhou Youchen held Meng Xilan's hand and said in a deep voice: "Lan'er, please wake up." ”

Coincidentally, as soon as he finished speaking, Meng Xilan's fingers moved slightly.

It was very fast, so fast that Zhou Youchen thought that he had a delusion.

He hurriedly raised his head, looked at Meng Xilan, and then at her hand.

"Lan'er ......"

Meng Xilan fell asleep in exhaustion and woke up in exhaustion.

Her body still felt like it was frozen, numb and unconscious. But she could still hear it, she could see it, she knew that Zhou Youchen was by her side and was talking to her.

Zhou Youchen saw her open her eyes, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly came to her and tried his best to call her name in the gentlest voice.

Meng Xilan's eyes turned slightly, and she reacted slightly, before she raised her trembling hand and touched him gently.

She still didn't have the strength, so she could only reluctantly ask him, "What about the prince?" ”

"The prince is on his way back, everything is safe."

Meng Xilan sighed softly when she heard this, only feeling that her heart had finally found a landing point and could stabilize herself.

"I'm back." Zhou Youchen kissed the back of her hand to reassure her.

Meng Xilan only nodded lightly when she heard this, and then closed her eyes, and a glittering tear trail was drawn on the corner of her eye.

He's back, but the disaster isn't over yet.

What happened to the Meng family? How's it going? What happened to the people in the palace? and Chu Jingchuan...... Is he dead or alive now?

Meng Xilan's mind was like a mess, extremely chaotic. It's a pity that with her current body and spirit, she can't do anything.

Zhou Youchen saw her close her eyes again, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, clenched her hand, and only heard her say: "Your Majesty, the concubine is so tired......

"Okay, I know, I'll be here with you."

With him by her side, she could get a good night's sleep.

After nightfall, the palace maids who have reorganized themselves will light the candles in the side hall.

Meng Xilan sat on the head of the bed, Baozhu held a bowl of warm porridge, and blew carefully.

"Niangniang, everything is finally normal in the palace now. Gao Gonggong is sending people to clean up in full swing, and soon, everything will be as usual in the palace, and it will change back to its former state. ”

When she said this, she wanted to appease her master, but she didn't expect that after Meng Xilan heard it, she just smiled lightly, and there was a thick melancholy between her eyebrows.

"Orb ...... You say, what should this palace look like? ”

Baozhu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand what it meant. "...... Did the slave say something wrong? ”

The mother is weak, she shouldn't talk too much. But she is such a character, not like Sister Zhulu, always so gentle and thoughtful.

Meng Xilan glanced at her, slowly moved her gaze to the closed window, and then said quietly: "This palace is an extremely cruel place, isn't it?" How many people died here, no one counted! Or maybe it's an unsightly place, but no one really cares...... Orb, to be honest, Hongu prefers it to be the way it is now. ”

Dilapidated, dirty, chaotic, gloomy, from the first day she entered the palace, the palace was like this.

The rights overlap, some people die, some people live, some people are proud, some people are frustrated...... Magnificent and exquisite, under the gorgeous and exquisite appearance, there are ugly hearts that are stained by profit.

Meng Xilan's eyes were full of light, cold and faint, with a sharpness that could see through everything in this world.
