Chapter 2038: Atonement

Tongzhou City, which is approaching the end of the year, does not have the appearance of turmoil and chaos, and after the Northwest Army went out to take this city, Tongzhou City has actually been in a stable state.

Although in order to support the expedition of the Northwest Army, Tongzhou has become an arsenal for processing weapons and equipment, but after Chu Huan issued the assessment order, most of the officials in Tongzhou are also fulfilling their duties for the sake of their own net worth and future, and the Northwest Army has continuously sent good news on the front line, which makes the officials in Tongzhou full of expectations for the future, and their work efficiency is far better than during the reign of Qin.

As the New Year is approaching, Tongzhou City has begun to have a hint of New Year's flavor, and the shops in the streets and alleys are also quite lively.

In comparison, it is the Tongzhou Governor's Mansion that seems deserted.

Tongzhou's government affairs, Chu Huan temporarily appointed Ximen Yi to deal with it temporarily, Ximen Yi is a child of the Tongzhou family, he already has connections and prestige, and he has outstanding government affairs ability, handles things in an orderly manner, and actually has the real power of Tongzhou Zhizhou, but Tongzhou Zhizhou Mansion places the queen and the king of Qi, and Ximen Yi naturally has another office.

In the Zhizhou Mansion, it was deserted, Chu Huan entered the city secretly, and no one knew about it, even if he entered the Zhizhou Mansion, it was also to make his subordinates not publicize it to the outside world.

This trip back to the northwest, Tongzhou is the only way, although Chu Huan is eager, but he still enters the city to see the queen.

King Qi was crazy, and he already knew that it was true, which made Chu Huan very emotional, knowing that the queen must be very sad.

Along the bluestone path in the mansion to the east courtyard, before he arrived at the courtyard, he heard a burst of laughter, the laughter was very strange, Chu Huan turned his head to look over, but saw a person with rags, a cloak scattered, and a wooden stick in his hand, running towards this side with a smirk, behind him, two warriors followed closely.

Chu Huan was a little surprised when he saw this person at first, only glanced at it, and immediately recognized it as King Qi, although he and King Qi's grace were broken, but seeing that King Qi was so embarrassed, it was not a taste in his heart, he frowned, and was about to scold the two warriors, but King Qi had already run not far in front of Chu Huan Mountain, tilting his head, looking Chu Huan up and down.

Chu Huan saw that his pupils were slightly dilated, his eyes were dilated, and he was far from the look in his eyes back then, and he knew that he couldn't fake it, so he was even more sure that Chu Huan's crazy statement was indeed true.

"Bold!" Before Chu Huan could speak, the King of Qi suddenly pointed at Chu Huan with a wooden stick and scolded: "You dog slave, why don't you kneel when you see this king?" Are you going to rebel? This king is about to go out to quell the rebellion, and now cut off your head to sacrifice the flag! He turned around and shouted, "Come on, pull this dog slave down and cut it down!" ”

Chu Huan sighed lightly, but arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang! ”

When King Qi heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "You dog slave knows that mistakes can be corrected, this king is a benevolent person, so I will spare you." He waved the wooden stick in his hand and said, "You say, how is this king's sword?" This is the sword that my father used to conquer the world, and he gave it to me last night, hahaha, do you know why my father gave me the sword? ”

Chu Huan looked at King Qi with pity, shook his head, and King Qi smiled and said, "Of course you don't understand your father's intentions, in this world, except for this king, who can understand your father's intentions?" This king tells you that my father wants to pass on the throne to me, and he only likes this king alone, and this sword is proof of this. ”

At this time, the two warriors had already stepped forward and saluted Chu Huan, Chu Huan frowned and asked, "Why is the prince so sloppy?" Why didn't you give him a new dress? Do you see him like this, so you insult him? ”

The samurai hurriedly said, "The little one doesn't dare." Back to the king, since the king of Qi, no one is allowed to touch him, don't say it's a change of clothes, it's to touch a hair of him, he also wants to go crazy, we wanted to help him bathe and change clothes, but he hurt someone, and even tore and bites, we don't dare to hurt him, so! ”

Chu Huan understood, knowing that there was his own order, and these guards didn't dare to use force against the king, and asked, "Didn't the queen ask?" ”

The two samurai looked at each other, both bowing their heads and not speaking.

Seeing this, Chu Huan was even more annoyed, and shouted, "Still not talking? ”

One of the warriors could only say: "My lord, after that incident, the queen and queen have never walked out of this courtyard again, and we dare not go in and disturb us except for sending people to bring food and water inside." The prince is like this every day, and we can't stop us, we can only follow and guard. ”

At this time, the king of Qi was really like a sword, and he got a piece of brocade cloth out of nowhere in his hand, the brocade cloth was dirty, but he took the brocade cloth and carefully wiped the wooden stick, muttering to himself: "There are many bad people in the world, they all want to harm this king, this king has this sword, no one is afraid, kill all the bad people in the world." ”

Chu Huan sighed and approached the past, but King Qi immediately reacted, pointing at Chu Huan with a wooden stick, his face showed a look of vigilance, and there was even a trace of horror in his eyes: "What are you going to do?" Are you trying to harm this king? ”

"Lord Wang, you have worked very hard, it is better to go to the bath and change your clothes and have a good rest." Chu Huan's voice was gentle, with a hint of a smile: "Only by recuperating can we quell the rebellion and kill all the bad guys in the world." ”

King Qi thought for a while, looked left and right, and then approached Chu Huan's side slightly, and said in a low voice: "This king can't bathe and change clothes, many people want to harm this king, and they will kill this king while this king is bathing." Do you know Chu Huan? ”

Chu Huan was stunned, and could only say, "The prince wants to see Chu Huan?" ”

"I don't want to see it, I don't want to see it." King Qi said immediately, and there was even a hint of resentment in his eyes: "Do you know that he has been deceiving this king before, this king has always thought that he is a good person, but he is the biggest traitor, he is bent on taking this king's life, this king will not lose to him!" There was a look of horror in his eyes, he looked around nervously, and even lowered his voice: "He is by my side, secretly staring at me, as long as he finds an opportunity, he will kill me!" ”

Chu Huan was stunned in his heart, after King Qi went crazy, he still regarded himself as his biggest enemy, which showed the hatred for himself in this person's heart.

King Qi whispered, but Chu Huan had already quietly raised his hand to the back of King Qi's head, and gently cut it on the back of King Qi's head, the two warriors were slightly taken aback when they saw this, and they only thought that King Qi was disrespectful and annoyed Chu Huan, so Chu Huan shot to kill.

Chu Huan's palm knife cut at the back of King Qi's head, King Qi's eyes rolled, his body shook, and he fell forward, Chu Huan had already reached out to hug it, and reached out to stroke the hair that covered King Qi's cheeks, only to see that he had not seen it for a while, King Qi was very thin, his cheekbones were slightly raised, and the skin on his face had a lot of small cuts, and he no longer had the appearance of being a prince back then.

Staring at King Qi's cheeks, Chu Huan was silent for a long time, and finally sighed lightly and muttered to himself: "No matter what, the past grievances and grievances will go with it, and I will not leave you behind in the future." He said to the two warriors, "Take him to the bath, wash him well, and change into clean clothes, for he is the brother of the king, and you must take good care of him." ”

Only then did the two warriors know that the King of Chu had just knocked the King of Qi unconscious, and the two of them cautiously stepped forward to lift the King of Qi and retreated.

After King Qi left, Chu Huan was silent for a moment, then turned around and entered the east courtyard, the courtyard was silent, terrifyingly deserted, he slowly walked into the courtyard, and when he arrived at the door of the main house, he had already seen a glimmer of light coming out of the crack in the door, but the door was hidden, knocked lightly, there was no sound in the house, Chu Huan thought for a while, and then gently pushed the door open.

After Chu Huan entered the house, he saw that the light in the house was emanating from the corner of the house, and on a small case in the corner of the house, there was a bronze Buddha statue, and the copper Buddha was lit with a sesame oil lamp in front of it, which looked very simple, and the queen was facing the door with her back to the door at this time, dressed in plain clothes, covered with a white veil on her head, and kneeling in front of the bronze Buddha reverently.

Chu Huan walked over lightly, and the queen obviously sensed that someone had entered the door, but she didn't look back, not even a trace of movement.

Walking behind the queen and looking at the queen's back, Chu Huan was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I didn't expect things to be like this, but don't worry, I will ask a famous doctor to help the prince recover his senses, and I will take good care of him in the future." ”

But the queen did not speak.

"I know you're feeling bad." Chu Huan sighed lightly, walked to the queen's side, knelt down in front of the bronze Buddha, turned his head slightly, saw half of the queen's face dimly through the white veil, through the firelight, and said softly: "Some things have happened, and if you want to change, you can't go back." ”

The queen finally turned her head slowly, under the light, the queen's face was a little pale and looked quite haggard, but her mature face was still beautiful, and her expression was even more calm, looking at Chu Huan's eyes, and said softly: "I waited for you to come, I just wanted to ask you for something." ”

"You say!"

"Xuanren is dead, leaving behind only a dispensable shell, I only hope that you can send someone to take good care of this shell." The queen's voice was as calm as water, and her beautiful eyes stared into Chu Huan's eyes, "Since you are here, I should also go." ”

"Let's go?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Where are you going?" ”

The queen said: "There is always a place where I can go, for many years, I have never been able to let go, always thought that I could catch something, but in the end I found that I couldn't catch anything, since this is the case, I should let go of everything." ”

"Drop everything?" Chu Huan glanced at the bronze Buddha, "I don't understand what you mean." ”

"I'm a woman with bad luck." The queen said: "I only bring bad luck to the people around me, and such a woman should not exist in the world." But my karma is too heavy, and if I commit suicide, I will not be able to pay for my sins, and I will have to spend the rest of my life to atone for my sins. ”

"Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, is that your way to atone for your sins?" Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "You say you have sinful karma, but who will say that you are guilty?" Everyone has their own fate, and all the results are only caused by themselves, how can their success or failure be decided because of a woman? Is it up to you as a woman to bear their faults? ”

The queen sighed faintly: "If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be where I am today, sowing good because there are good results, sowing evil because there are evil results, today's evil results are planted by me." ”
