Qi Heng was confused, but it seemed like he understood everything.
"Why would the prince of Western Qin possess gunpowder?"
Gu Qian: "How would I know?"
Qi Heng: "If you hadn't forced me to abdicate, how could my uncle and father-in-law have died? Gu Qian, their deaths were all caused by you!"
By forcing his way out of the palace today, he has essentially wiped himself out.
In that case, it really is his fault. Gu Qian shook his head, "If you hadn't forced him to abdicate, what do you think Qin Feng would have done?"
"He..." Qi Heng thought for a moment.
"He will still storm the palace gates and blow up my Northern Qi palace!"
Gu Qian: "That's right, what else can he do?"
Qi Heng thought for a moment: "He...he's taken his revenge, what else does he want to do?"
Gu Qian: "You can't escape this calamity. Shangguan Hong and Dong Sheng can't escape it either. As you know, they were the ones who contributed a lot of ideas when Qin was destroyed."
Qi Heng: "Therefore, Qin Feng will not let them go."
Gu Qian: "Their deaths will only be more gruesome. One of your royal uncles, who was the original proposer of the campaign against Qin, had his limbs chopped off last night and thrown into a pigsty."
And your uncle and father-in-law also debated and fought against Qin!
Gu Qian had only just found out about this.
"A demon...it's terrifying." Qi Heng shuddered.
Just now, with that violent explosion, all your brothers, sisters, and uncles outside the palace are dead.
"What?" Qi Heng thought of all his royal relatives, each and every one of them a vibrant life, then closed his eyes.
How did you know?
Gu Qian looked up into the distance.
"Just now, apart from the inner palace, all the princes' residences in the city were destroyed."
Including our shelter during this time!
"Yan'er, she..." Qi Heng's body went limp, and his head hit the ground hard, getting a face full of embarrassment.
“Yan’er…” he wept bitterly.
Gu Qian: "She's fine, she's right here in your Crown Prince's residence!"
This morning, before Gu Qian left, he suggested that Shangguan Wan'er leave.
Qi Heng: "Is everything alright at the Crown Prince's residence?"
Gu Qian: "I'm safe and sound!" As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Qi Heng suddenly looked up. In an instant, he experienced both great sorrow and joy, and his heart could hardly bear it.
Qin Feng blew up all the princes' and princesses' residences.
Was his Crown Prince's residence the only one left behind?
Whom does he look down on?
"Gu Qian, General Gu, my benefactor Gu, thank you, thank you so much."
The enemy had become his benefactor, and Qi Heng truly didn't know what words to use to express his gratitude to Gu Qian.
"Get up and let's go. Do you want to experience the taste of gunpowder again?"
Qi Heng paused for a moment and tried to get up again, but still couldn't.
With a pained expression, he mustered all his strength, grabbed Gu Qian's trouser leg, and climbed up, slowly standing up.
But then his hand slipped, and he quickly grabbed Gu Qian's elbow.
"Gu Qian, my legs hurt and I can't use my back at all. I really can't walk anymore. Can you carry me out?"
He spoke weakly and listlessly.
Gu Qian pulled him aside and saw Liang Jie walking towards him with a somber expression. He said,
"It's up to you now."
"Yes." Liang Jie nodded and helped Qi Heng up.
Looking at Gu Qian again, he was already far away.
Gu Qian was preoccupied with other things and couldn't stay any longer.
"Gu Qian, I want you to carry me!" Qi Heng glared at Gu Qian like a wronged wife.
But all that remained for him was Gu Qian's silhouette.
