Chapter 362: Spring Moon Meets the Immortal
The soldier was fed a bowl of black medicine and then helped out by his brothers to vomit.
Hua Erniang warned from behind:
"It's okay, just spit it out and it will be fine."
"Okay, next one, next one."
Hua Erniang saw Chunyue and Murong Wan who was dragging her.
She saw that Murong Wan's hair and face were all black, and her burned skin was ulcerated and filled with pus.
She took out a pair of scissors and gave it to Haruzuki:
"I'll prepare some medicine. Cut open her clothes first, clean the wound, and then apply the medicine."
"Yes." Chunyue responded habitually.
A large pair of scissors with shiny blades.
Murong Wan has a lot of clothes, and each set of clothes is made of the best fabrics.
Smooth, soft, and embroidered with patterns in gold thread.
Each set is worth a lot of money, more expensive than Chunyue's net worth,
Chunyue and other maids had to take good care of Murong Wan's clothes, making sure they were wrinkle-free, and they had to fumigate them with incense before wearing them.
If it gets dirty or wrinkled, you will definitely be punished.
But now, Chunyue took the scissors and cut the fabric of Murong Wan's upper body into pieces.
No matter how expensive a piece of clothing is, once it is cut into pieces it becomes just a pile of rags.
When Chunyue heard the sound of brocade being torn, a strange feeling arose in her heart.
She couldn't describe the feeling, it was as if something that had been suppressed in her body was released.
Just like the feeling she had every time she secretly ate the pastries that Murong Wan threw away.
"Okay, hold her, I'll apply some ointment on her." Hua Er Niang quickly cleaned Murong Wan's wound, then applied the ointment with a small brush.
By the time Hua Er Niang had bandaged all of Murong Wan's burns with cotton strips, she was really tired.
Hua Erniang found a cotton-padded jacket from the army and covered Murong Wan with it, tucked her into bed, and then glanced at the sky outside:
"It's time for dinner."
Hua Erniang's eyes fell on Chunyue's face:
"You must be hungry too. Come with me to get some food. Everyone can get two steamed buns."
"Me too?" Chunyue was surprised.
"If you are human, there is food. If you want to eat, follow me."
Hua Erniang saw Chunyue's hesitant expression and thought that Chunyue was worried about the unconscious Murong Wan:
"Don't worry, there are soldiers guarding the area, no one can come in casually."
After all this trouble, Chunyue's stomach was already empty, so she naturally followed Hua Erniang to get food.
After they left, Murong Wan was the only one left in the room.
Murong Wan was lying on a simple camp bed.
There was a closed window next to the bed.
The bitter north wind kept knocking on the doors and windows, as if trying to wake up the person in bed.
Murong Wan's eyes moved slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyelashes.
She was not woken up by the wind, but by the pain.
The scene before she fainted was still lingering in her mind, and she only remembered that there was fire all around.
The severe pain made her lose consciousness, but now she was woken up by the pain again.
She felt numbness and pain in her entire right arm and shoulder, and a little itchy. The slightest movement made her gasp in pain.
"Chun Yue?" Murong Wan's voice was a little hoarse.
She was used to Chunyue serving her.
Murong Wan remembered that before she fainted, she asked someone to bring Chunyue along.
The room was empty and no one answered.
Murong Wan looked around, her gaze finally falling on her bandaged body.
Inside the cotton-padded jacket, almost the entire upper body was tightly wrapped with strips of cloth.
Murong Wan frowned.
Is he injured so badly?
She has rarely been injured since she was a child.
But she was more concerned about the situation outside than being injured.
She had killed Helian Borri as planned. I wonder if the Hu people were repelled? Did my grandfather and Murong Qi negotiate with Dayu's army outside the city?
Murong Wan wrapped her cotton coat tightly with her uninjured left hand and got out of bed.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw two soldiers carrying a man passing by.
Murong Wan's eyes suddenly widened, and it seemed as if the blood in her body had frozen.
Grandfather!
She saw her grandfather's body.
There were many knife wounds on his body, and his clothes were soaked with blood. Pieces of blood solidified into dark blocks in the cold wind.
My grandfather died. He was murdered.
Was he killed on the orders of Murong Di, or was he killed because of Murong Qi's betrayal?
Murong Wan felt cold all over, and at the same time, her stomach was churning because of the bloody scene.
She covered her lips.
The two Montenegrin soldiers were carrying the body.
They saw Murong Wan, wrapped in a cotton coat, covering her lips with a pale face, and thought that she was an injured citizen in the city who was frightened by the sight of a dead body.
They explained with a smile: "Sister, don't be scared. This man is a treacherous minister who has done too many evil things and deserves death."
The two men carried He Tingfang's body away.
Murong Wan closed the door, walked back to the camp bed, and sat down while holding onto the wall.
She needs to calm down and think clearly.
On the other side, Chunyue followed Hua Erniang outside.
When she went to get the steamed buns, she saw a very handsome man walking out of the corner tower.
Chunyue had never seen such a handsome man. Walking in the snow, he looked like an immortal descending to earth.
But the immortal was covered in blood, blood so red it was glaring.
Chunyue swallowed and backed away.
Hua Erniang smiled at the immortal and said, "Congratulations! Our Village Chief Hao has finally avenged his great hatred and can now show his true face to the world."
Chunyue saw the immortal walking into the crowd, attracting more and more people's attention.
Later on, all the people who went to get food stopped asking for food and just looked at him.
Many Black Mountain Army soldiers eagerly called out to him, "Village Chief Hao!"
Finally, the immortal stood on a high place and said to everyone:
"My name is Pei Lingyun. My father is from the Hedong Pei family, and he once held the position of Shangshuling. However, several years ago, my family was framed by a treacherous person and suffered an undeserved disaster. We were wronged and exiled to Lingnan. I was forced to hide my name and changed it to 'Hao Ren'. I dare not reveal any trace of my family background... Now that it has come to this, I no longer wish to deceive you..."
Chunyue's eyes widened when she heard this.
She didn't understand the situation in the court, but she knew the Pei family.
When the princess's family was executed, the news spread throughout the capital, and everyone in Prince Gong's mansion heard about it later.
It was because the He family framed the Pei family back then. Now that the Pei family has cleared their grievances, it is the He family's turn to die.
It turns out that Hao Ren from Heishan Mansion is a member of the Pei family.
"Now that you have received the steamed buns, you can go back first." Hua Erniang said to Chunyue.
Hua Erniang took steamed buns to see Doctor Yu. She was afraid that Doctor Yu, who was too busy, would forget to eat.
Chunyue walked back in a daze, holding the steamed bun.
When I walked back, I saw someone carrying He Tingfang's body out of the corner tower.
A bloody corpse.
Chunyue's hands squeezed the steamed buns until they were deformed.
She forgot about being hungry and just stood there in the wind for a long time, her hands and the steamed bun were frozen.
A passerby patted her and she came to her senses.
Chunyue walked back the way she came, her steps much faster.
She pushed open the door and saw Murong Wan sitting on the bed like a puppet.
"The princess is awake?"
Chunyue only had two steamed buns in her hand, without even a plate, and placed them directly on the table.
Her whole expression also changed drastically.
His face was full of fear and worry, and his eyes were evasive.
Murong Wan didn't look at the steamed buns Chunyue brought, she just asked:
"Haruzuki, where is this?"
"My princess, it's... it's the South City Gate." Chunyue grabbed her sleeves with both hands.
"What are you afraid of?" Murong Wan stared at Chunyue.
Chunyue knelt down with a thud:
"Princess, I just saw...saw that Lord He has..."
Murong Wan's face was pale:
"I know. I saw Grandfather. Did you hear anything when you went outside?"
Chunyue's head is like a sieve:
"I heard... that it was the Pei family who killed Master He. Hao Ren of Black Mountain Prefecture was a member of the Pei family back then, and the troops outside all obeyed his orders..."
When Murong Wan heard this, her left hand that was supporting her body went limp and she almost fell down.
Pei family.
Heishan Prefecture, Hao Ren.
Murong Wan's eyes turned dark, and she immediately understood the cause and effect.
It’s neither Murong Di nor Murong Qi.
They are the Pei family members who came for revenge.
Chunyue dug her nails into her palms and gritted her teeth.
"Master He is dead. I also heard that the king and princess were also captured. They took the princess away to be... a military prostitute... They are also looking for the princess everywhere. They said that if they find a princess, they will send her to be a military prostitute..."
