Chu Mubai shook his head, raised his face, and held back his sour tears: "I don't know anything." Zijin and I went out of the palace and returned to the maple forest today, and after a long distance, we saw the flames in the direction of the maple forest. I was alert in my heart, and when I hurried over, hundreds of black-clothed people surrounded the maple forest, and a sword and sword shadow surrounded Niangniang and Chu Jiu Xiangshen in the center. Niangniang was seriously wounded, and all the other guards died in the line of duty. After Zijin and I rushed in, we could only rescue Yuehua, and Xiangshen and Chujiu all died tragically in order to cover our departure. ”

"You said you entered the palace today?" Mo Guhan turned his head in surprise.

Chu Mubai nodded tiredly, and groped out the letter from his arms, which was already soaked in Yuehua's blood, and the handwriting was blurry.

He smiled bitterly and threw it aside, explaining: "Zijin is the daughter of Qiu Zhengqian, the deputy general who was lucky to escape from the first battle of Cang'er Mountain, she found us a few days ago and told us that my father-in-law had another grievance with the death of 6,000 elite soldiers, and it was killed by someone, and Lu San may be the insider. Yuehua used her body as bait to lure out Lu San, but Lu San was killed yesterday. I felt that the matter was very important, and I wanted to enter the palace to report this matter to the emperor. ”

"Then why hasn't anyone returned to me?"

Chu Mubai smiled bitterly: "At that time, the emperor was deliberating, and we were guarding outside the imperial study, and we were driven out by Concubine Lian. ”

"It's her again!" Mo Guhan got up angrily: "If you don't kill her, it's hard to solve the hatred in my heart!" ”

"That's it!" Shao Ziqing weakly dissuaded: "If it weren't for Concubine Lian to drive Brother Mu Bai out of the palace last night, who would save Niangniang if she delayed for a while?" Concubine Lian barely did a good thing. ”

Mo Guhan's anger gradually subsided, and he barely held it back: "Was it the people from the Blood Hall who did it last night?" ”

Chu Mubai shook his head: "I'm not sure, but judging from my skills, it's not quite like it." Your Majesty, your ministers have asked for an order, and now immediately leave the palace to investigate yesterday's incident. ”

Chu Mubai was also full of fatigue, and the strength of his body was completely withdrawn. He gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet.

Mo Guhan raised his face to look at this iron-clad man, he knew that he was actually more tired than himself, fighting in the middle of the night, riding a horse and galloping, and his spirit had been in a state of high tension. Now that I hear the news of Yuehua Anran, I must be exhausted.

However, while the iron is hot, while there are still a few clues, it is necessary to launch an investigation immediately, otherwise the other party will destroy the evidence and it will be difficult to investigate again.

Mo Guhan nodded: "Okay, Chu Mubai, I will not only give you the holy decree, but also give you a Shang Fang sword, but anyone related to this, regardless of the size of the official position, does not need to ask for advice, and it is not a matter of killing." I hate that I can't join you in quelling the thieves, washing the entire capital with blood, and killing them all. My part, you will use the Shang Fang sword to complete it on my behalf. ”

Chu Mubai received the order, immediately shook his spirits, straightened his waist, and strode out of the palace with Zijin, who had not slept all night.

Martial law has long been imposed near the bamboo forest, and it is strictly forbidden for idle people to enter and exit.

The eyes are full of devastation, and the blood is everywhere.

The whole maple forest is dyed red with blood, and it is dazzling.

There is still unburned green smoke.

The corpses of Xiang Shen and Chu Jiu were parked peacefully, and the corners of their lips still hung with a shallow smile of relief before the heroic uprising.

Chu Mubai couldn't help but think that he was riding on a horse last night, and when he turned around, Xiangshen waved at him, and his red lips moved.

The past is vivid, and what Yuehua said is still in my ears.

He understands better than anyone how unforgettable it is to love the same person for five or six years. He did not hesitate to reject this girl who admired him, and in the end, she died for herself.

Now, she is good to herself, and every word she says is like a sharp arrow, piercing this man's heart with blood.

Chu Mubai pulled out the arrows on her body one by one, the barbs on the arrows hooked flesh and blood, and Xiangshen still slept peacefully without a trace of pain. Chu Mubai's heart hurt uncontrollably. Every time, he was cautious, feeling that it was plucked from his own heart, and what he aroused was also his own flesh and blood.

How he wished, this girl frowned slightly, and exclaimed, "Pain! ”

Chu Jiu's body has lost count of how many knives he has been hit, the wound is turned out, the blood has coagulated, and his body is hideous.

The brothers who used to laugh together are now completely out of the woods.

Now Yuehua is in a coma, life and death are uncertain, and after waking up in the future, how heartbroken it would be to learn that Xiangshen and Chu Jiu were all sacrificed in this maple forest to protect her.

Someone transported the body of Feng Han, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop, and the body of Feng Han's mother-in-law was parked next to it.

Last night, she was also killed in her coffin shop, her eyes wide open and her face frightened.

Another innocent death, and even his family did not let go, what appalling secrets are involved?

A soldier told him the results of the investigation that the killed Feng Han and Lu San were originally the old subordinates of General Chu, and after Lu San's death, the queen sent someone into the city and ordered a pair of longevity materials in Feng Han's coffin shop. At dusk yesterday, Feng Han didn't need a buddy, and personally drove Shoucai to the maple forest.

Chu Mubai naturally linked Lu San's matter with this, and it can be determined that Yuehua was killed by the other party's sudden attack, which must be related to the destruction of his father's tomb at the beginning, and involved Feng Han and his wife.

As for what this secret is, now that all the people who know are dead, and Yuehua is unconscious, it is unknown.

For the black-clothed men who committed the murder, there were no clues on their corpses, and the only trace to follow was the weapons in their hands. Unlike the rabble in the market, these people's clothing and weapons are all unified, and the bows, arrows, and steel knives used are all unified production techniques of the imperial court.

Whether these people are the people of the Blood Hall is still up for debate, but what they rely on behind them must be the powerful generals or princes in the court.

Chu Mubai involuntarily thought of a person's name in his heart - Chang Zhiyi.

All kinds of doubts point to him, there is no doubt about it.

This matter must be inextricably linked with Chang Zhiyi, but he can't believe it, why did Chang Zhiyi do this to Yuehua? What's the secret in the maple forest? Could it be that the person mentioned in Qiu Zhengqian's letter is him?

This idea is a bit shocking, but apart from him, Chu Mubai really can't think of a second candidate.

Only, there is no evidence.

Something squirmed at his feet, gently rubbing against the hem of his clothes.

He lowered his head, and it turned out to be Yuehua's favorite two rabbits for the rest of his life. Two little things, so tenacious, escaped from the flames, and can't fall in love here.

This made Chu Mubai suddenly see a glimmer of hope.

Mo Guhan didn't go to the court for two days in a row, and he kept the unconscious Yuehua every step of the way.

From the morning light to the moonlight and the stars, Mo Guhan held her hand tightly and replaced the handkerchief on her forehead over and over again.

In the Qianqing Palace, there was a death-like silence, which made Mo Guhan very afraid. But if there was any movement among the palace people, he was irritable, and he couldn't wait to be angry and vent all the anger in his heart.

Especially when night falls, the red candle is lit, and the candle flowers burst with beep, Mo Guhan's heart is empty, even more desolate than the empty palace.

He broke the cold silence by himself, talking to Yuehua sentence by sentence, laughing and laughing, laughing and choking again, tears flickering, blurring Yuehua's strange and haggard face over and over again.

In these days, I am full of hope, forgetting to sleep and eat, and I look forward to the day when I am done, I can open the door and welcome Yuehua back into the palace in a beautiful manner, and tell the world that she Chu Yuehua is a woman who will never let go of Mo Guhan in this life and this life, and she is the most noble queen of the Chang'an Dynasty.

This belief supported him, day and night, little by little, looking for clues that could put the Chang family to death from the past twists and turns, and worked hard to take precautions with Shao Ziqing and Chu Mubai. In countless sleepless nights, the moonlight splashed in from the window was his greatest relief.

He thought that if he sent Yuehua away from his side, he pretended not to love her, and ruthlessly didn't look at her, those people would not turn their eyes to her, she could stay in the maple forest, wait until the world was peaceful, and he would dominate Chang'an.

Who can tell him why things turned out the way they did? When Chu Mubai told him the results of his investigation, and told him all about Qiu Zhengqian, he was furious at the remorseful Chu Mubai, but what was the use, Chu Mubai was not a little less sad than himself.

It's still useless for yourself!

Yuehua began to have a high fever, which was exactly as Shao Ziqing expected. The whole body was hot, and all the decoctions seemed to have lost their effect.

She was so thin, lying there, like a piece of paper, it seemed that a gust of wind blew in from the window, and she would ride the wind away.

Mo Guhan was terrified, and his eyes were as red as blood.

"Yuehua, you must hold on, you must get better quickly, I promise you, I will never make you sad again."

"Finally, I have the opportunity to protect you like this, this is the luxury of suffering day and night in these days, but why, my heart is like a knife, and even my breathing is painful?"

"You once begged me for it, you want me to be weak and water for 3,000, only take a scoop of drink, I said, in the world, there is nothing I can't afford to give you, as long as you get better, I am willing to swear in front of you, I will never have anyone else for a lifetime."

"Yuehua, all along, I have been sorry for you, I have been hurting you constantly, taking your kindness to me for granted, I am wrong, when you wake up, I will also punish you to write a guilty statement, okay?"

"You once told me that the rabbit can bless all diseases, at the beginning, you gave me this rabbit to bless the queen mother's illness and gradually recover, today, I hang it on your bedside, so that the rabbit can also bless you with a speedy recovery."

"Our two rabbits were brought back by Chu Mubai, they were very lucky, they were not buried in the fire, it can be seen that the rabbits are blessed by God. But you don't get up, they also look sick, just like me. ”

......

Mo Guhan kept babbling, and as he spoke, he began to be silent.
