Chapter 102: Chu Qing's Death (Medium)
I categorically intercepted the queen's words: "Since the queen feels embarrassed, the princess is not reluctant." Please forgive this princess for retiring first. I blessed the queen and turned away.
From the emperor and empress, it is not difficult for me to guess that Chu Qing must be more auspicious this time. I hurried back to Yiyuxuan with Yuhan, and immediately ordered Qin De'an to go to Chengtianmen to prepare a carriage for me, while I explained in Yiyuxuan, especially told Fengyin and Fengqiu to pay attention to Yunqing, and then hurried to Chengtianmen.
I'm going to Xue Mansion. All the news about the father and son of the Xue family, presumably General Xue will be brought to Chang'an Xue Mansion with the military newspaper. Rather than let me look at the queen's face and get unreliable news, it is better for me to go directly to my future in-law's house to inquire.
As soon as I stepped into the door of the Xue family, I felt that all the people were miserable, which made my heart heavier and heavier. Xue Shenfu and Fan Lihua had already heard the rumors and accompanied Mrs. Xue to pick up the car in the lobby.
Although my status is extremely noble, I still return the salute to Mrs. Xue, after all, she will be my elder in the future. After sitting down in the order of respect and inferiority, I went straight to the point, explained my intentions, and asked Mrs. Xue about General Xue, Major General Xue, and Chu Qing. Who knows, as soon as I mentioned this matter, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but cry.
"Princess Qiqi, my father and brother are all fine, but Chu Qing ......" Xue Shen was confused and stopped.
"Chu Qing, how is he now?" The more Xue Shenfu was like this, the more uneasy it made me feel.
"Third brother, when it comes to this, what else do you have to worry about? First the peony and the child, and then the fourth brother, this woman is simply the nemesis of our Xue Mansion! Fan Lihua stood up and looked at me viciously, with a look of extreme disgust in her eyes.
However, I didn't have the heart to blame Fan Lihua for her rudeness, Fan Lihua now equated Chu Qing with the dead peony, could it be ...... I didn't care whether men and women were kissed or not, so I grabbed Xue Shenfu's hand and asked, "Lord Xue, what did General Fan mean by what he said just now?" ”
Xue Shenfu hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "Chu Qing is righteous." He was captured by Goguryeo in a battle, and for some reason Goguryeo knew the identity of Chu Qing's concubine, so he used it to blackmail Marshal Cheng and his father. In order not to drag down the country, protect the entire Xue family, and not disgrace the princess, Chu Qing committed suicide in the Goguryeo military camp. Speaking of this, Xue Shenfu was already in tears.
My heart slowly cooled down, and I only felt that I was about to be frozen, unable to breathe, without thoughts, and the spiritual pillar that supported me collapsed in an instant.
Mrs. Xue couldn't help herself, and she cried out loud, very sad. There is nothing more sorrowful in the world than for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. The old lady first lost her unborn grandson, and now she has lost her beloved son, and the pain in her heart is incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Xue Shenfu stepped forward to comfort his mother, but his mother aroused his grief for his hands and feet, and he hugged his mother and cried.
Only Fan Lihua, who was still able to hold herself in grief, took out a bloodstained burden and handed it to me: "This is left by the fourth brother to the princess." Goguryeo put the fourth brother outside the barracks to expose the body, and so far has not returned the body of the fourth brother, only sent these to the barracks. The letter mentioned in the letter that these were all relics left by Chu Qing to the princess, and asked the princess to take them. Now that my Xue Mansion is an ominous place, I also ask the princess to leave early, so as not to get into bad luck. ”
