This world is mine now, but it will soon belong to you, Chu Dichi.
-
The next day.
Qin Muyu was ready and was about to go to Southern Xinjiang. Chu Li did not go to see him off, but hid in the quilt and secretly wiped away her tears.
Chu Dichi saw this and was so angry that his eyes almost turned red. He almost lost control, but he tried his best to hold it back.
I'm so worried about him!
rest assured.
He is doing well in southern Xinjiang and will not die!
Chu Dichi went to see him off in person, he wanted to see what was so good about Qin Muyu that made Chu Li miss him so much.
In fact, it’s not that I’m obsessed with it.
There is more worry and helplessness about the current situation.
After stopping Chu Dichi from leaving for a long time, Chu Li finally calmed down, packed up, and prepared to go to the Yangxin Palace. A young eunuch came to report:
"Your Highness, the eldest prince requests an audience."
Chu Li looked up:
"What is he doing here?"
The day before yesterday, he had made his choice, willing to give up all his rights and property and become a commoner. From then on, he had nothing to do with the royal family.
The young eunuch said, "The eldest prince said that he wanted to say a few words to you one last time. To end our sixteen years of brotherhood, he will leave for Chaoyang City and will never return to the capital again."
This trip is a farewell.
Chu Li rubbed his brows and said, "Let him come in."
-
Outside the city.
In front of the three armies, Qin Muyu rode high on the horse's back. The young man's body was as straight as a poplar and his face was a little childish. However, at this time he took on an important responsibility and gradually matured.
"The land of Southern Xinjiang is difficult and harsh, with constant wars and chaos, making it difficult to pacify. It is an excellent place for training. I believe that General Qin will be able to achieve something there."
Chu Dichi saw him off personally.
In fact, in Qin Muyu's mind, whether he could get promoted or not was no longer important.
That day, the Regent talked with him and talked about the current situation, internal and external troubles, and turmoil. All of them made Ali worried.
He stayed in the imperial capital, unable to interfere in the royal affairs and unable to help much, so it would be better for him to go to southern Xinjiang, stabilize the area, and quell foreign threats, so that Ali could handle government affairs without any worries.
There is only one thing that worries me when I leave:
"Please, Lord Regent, take good care of the Ninth Prince."
Chu Dichi sent him off with a cold look.
Do you need him to remind you?
"The time has come, General Qin, let's get going."
Qin Muyu held the reins and took a deep look at the imperial city. After a long time, he turned his horse around and led the army away.
After seeing him off, Chu Dichi seemed to be in a good mood, with his eyebrows raised high.
But soon, a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue:
"Oh no! Master, there's a fire in Zhaolan Palace. The Ninth Prince has died in the flames. His safety is unknown!"
"What did you say!"
Chu Dichi's expression changed drastically.
Chong Feng was still riding on the horse, and before he could stop, he was pulled down by Chu Dichi.
"master!"
Chong Feng looked at his master's back in panic as he rode his horse back, breathing heavily.
fire.
What a big fire.
The Zhaolan Palace caught fire. The fire was so big that it was difficult to put out. Even though the palace servants rushed in with water, it was already too late to put out the fire.
The scene was in chaos:
"The Ninth Prince is inside!"
"Put out the fire quickly!"
“Someone come…”
"Tanari, Tanari!"
Chu Dichi rode his horse into the palace and rushed directly to Zhaolan Palace, where his eyes were almost burned by the raging fire.
Xiaojiu!
He fell off his horse and ran inside in panic.
"No, Regent!"
Many palace servants and ministers saw this and hurriedly held him back: "The fire is too big, it's a done deal, the Regent must not enter..."
“Get lost!”
"ah!"
The powerful internal force knocked everyone out, and the man rushed into the fire resolutely, kicked away the burning pillar, and started searching.
"Xiao Jiu!"
Bang!
The fire was raging, the pillars collapsed, and a huge heat wave was created, almost melting people.
Chu Dichi's eyes were bloodshot, he moved the scalding pillar with his bare hands, and rushed in recklessly:
"Xiao Jiu!"
Outside the Zhaolan Palace, everyone was extremely anxious. The Ninth Prince had already died in the fire. If anything happened to the Regent, wouldn't the Great Chu be in complete chaos?
What should I do?
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Yexing and Bai Jinyi rushed over. After learning the actual situation, Xiao Yexing immediately rushed in:
"You're going to die!"
"Get out!"
Chu Dichi has gone crazy.
Xiao Yexing rushed forward and slashed his neck fiercely with a knife.
"Um...you..." Chu Dichi was shocked all over, looked at him unexpectedly, and fell down.
Xiao Yexing dragged him out and saw that Chu Dichi's robe was burned by the fire. There was almost no intact skin on his hands, legs, and back, and his face was also burned. If he had not been forcibly taken out, he would have died in there.
For Chu Li, you are willing to give up your own life?
“Someone come!”
"Send the Regent back to Linhua Palace, and the rest of you will focus on putting out the fire!"
In a corner of the palace, thick black smoke rose straight into the sky and did not dissipate for a long time...
-
"Xiaojiu...Xiaojiu..."
On the couch, the man closed his eyes tightly, but muttered something anxiously, shaking his head from side to side, sweating profusely.
"Xiao Jiu!"
He sat up suddenly.
"You're awake." Bai Jinyi stepped forward immediately. "Your body is severely burned, especially your hands. It's already..."
"Where's Chu Li?"
Chu Dichi interrupted him coldly.
Bai Jinyi paused, pursed his lips, and said with a complicated expression: "The fire was too big, she... was not rescued..."
He threw back the quilt and ran out barefoot.
"Achi!"
Bai Jinyi chased after him, "Achi, you're seriously injured! Achi!"
After a great fire, only a black frame was left of the palace, and everything else was reduced to ashes. In the courtyard, the five pots of small flower seedlings were in full bloom, looking lush and green, forming a sharp contrast with the messy ruins of the palace.
Those were the flower seeds he brought her.
Now, the seedlings are growing vigorously, but she has disappeared forever in the fire.
Chu Dichi stood in front of the ruins, his eyes full of devastation and confusion, as if he had lost his backbone and couldn't tell east from west, south from north.
No.
This is not true.
How did the fire suddenly break out?
"Li'er! Li'er!" Concubine Wen fell to the ground, crying uncontrollably.
It was a corpse that had been burned black, with only the skeleton left. Its thin skeleton and appearance were exactly the same as Chu Li's.
Concubine Wen fainted several times and woke up several times, and was almost blinded.
Someone reported:
"Reporting to the Regent, it was the eldest prince who set the fire. He was with the ninth prince under the pretext of a brotherly chat, and out of hatred, he had murderous intentions..."
"Your Highness, when the fire broke out, the Fifth Prince jumped into the fire to save it, but he also died in the flames."
"Your Highness, Regent..."
Chu Dichi could no longer hear who was talking.
Looking at the collapsed ruins, he seemed to have fallen into a deep vortex. He could no longer hear or see anything, and only felt the world spinning before his eyes.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Bang!
Fall to the ground.
"Regent!"
“Someone, come quickly!”
