Chapter 1716: A Secret Other Than a Secret
The queen evenly applied the wound medicine to Chu Huan's wounds, and occasionally when Chu Huan's muscles twitched, the queen could even feel Chu Huan's pain, and her movements were lighter.
Applying the wound medicine, the queen breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Put on your clothes quickly, don't get cold." โ
Chu Huan smiled, put on her clothes, but her back was torn, which was quite indecent, and the queen's mood was much calmer at this time, she was a woman's family, and no matter what her identity was, touching a man's skin, in the world, was always a little ambiguous, but she was in a hurry, but she was helpless.
The queen was about to move her body, when she suddenly felt a stinging pain in her leg, and with an "ouch", Chu Huan immediately turned around, clenched the dagger, and said, "What's wrong?" โ
The queen shook her head and said, "It's okay......!" It's just that his eyebrows are frowning, with a hint of pain on his face, Chu Huan was stunned, but he had already caught a glimpse of the queen's leg out of the corner of his eye, and vaguely saw that something was wrong, took a closer look, found the wound on the queen's leg, and frowned: "Why is it injured?" Why don't you say it? โ
"I was scratched by a stone, and it was fine." Queen's Road.
Chu Huan asked, "When did it happen?" โ
"When you go up the mountain."
"So long?" Chu Huan said: "You don't know that if the wound is not treated in time, it is easy to become infected, and once it worsens, the consequences will not be good." With a hint of reproach in his tone, the queen sighed, "It's hard and hard to go through the North Ridge, and if I get hurt at the beginning, let you know that it's always bad." โ
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "If there is an injury, you have to deal with it, how can you delay." He said, "Straighten your legs, and I'll see how it goes!" โ
The queen said: "No need, I can handle it myself." โ
"You know how to heal wounds?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Do you know how to heal?" โ
The queen shook her head, and Chu Huan said: "When I was in the army, I learned to heal wounds, I will see if your wound is infected, if it has not been infected Yan zhรฒng, my wound medicine can come in handy, once the wound worsens, I am afraid that I will have to find other materials." โ
The queen frowned and said, "Is there such a strict zhรฒng?" โ
"Looks like you haven't been injured before." Chu Huan sighed, pursed his mouth, and motioned for the queen to straighten her legs, but the queen hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down on the branch and straightened her legs.
Her legs are long and full, with soft curves, Chu Huan untied the silk scarf that covered the wound, and suddenly felt a little strange, secretly thinking that the queen was wearing a coarse cloth single clothes, where did she get the silk scarf, and the only handkerchief had been left behind, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the silk scarf that the queen wiped for herself was exactly the same as the silk scarf that tied the queen's leg wound, obviously from the same place, and when he turned his mind, he instantly understood that the source of this silk scarf was actually torn off the queen's underwear.
When the queen was taken out of Tiangong, she didn't have many clothes, and she changed into coarse cloth clothes halfway, leaving only a small underwear without changing, and the close-fitting clothes were naturally made of fine silk.
How shrewd the queen is, when she saw Chu Huan's eyes, she immediately knew what Chu Huan was thinking, just now she was looking for something to wipe Chu Huan's wounds, the coarse cloth was difficult to tear, and in desperation, she could only tear a piece of underwear, although she was helpless, but it was always inappropriate to wipe her own personal things on a man's body, coupled with Chu Huan's eyes at this time, the queen was very embarrassed.
Chu Huan untied the strap, only to see that there was a scratch on the queen's snow-white skin, which was extremely conspicuous on the skin, shocking, Chu Huan approached, smelled it, the queen was startled, and said sharply: "What are you doing?" โ
Chu Huan was stunned, looked up and saw the queen glaring at him, knowing that the queen had misunderstood, and said: "I smell if there is a smell, fortunately, the cold in this mountain forest is heavier, and it has not deteriorated ......!" โ
The queen frowned and said, "You turn around!" โ
Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the queen's stern expression, he knew that the queen was only afraid of being a little annoyed, so he turned around, but still said: "The wound medicine should be applied now, there is no water under the eyes, find a place with water, and clean the wound well......!" โ
The queen didn't speak, but she took the wound medicine and applied it herself, but her heart was a little complicated, thinking about why she was suddenly annoyed, if she just regarded Chu Huan as a junior, and the other party was kind enough to heal herself, she should be grateful, but if she was annoyed, she would treat the other party as a big man.
"Queen, apply the wound medicine, you can rest." Chu Huan looked down, only to see that the wolves had not left, and were still wandering under the tree, and there was no movement for the time being, obviously the wolves knew that the opponent in the tree was not easy to deal with, and they did not dare to act rashly, but they were unwilling to leave, so they wandered under the tree, "I am guarding here, these beasts will only be afraid that they will not retreat for a while." โ
The queen sighed lightly: "We have only been walking for two days, and we have not yet reached the halfway point, and we have encountered so many things, and I don't know if we can get out of the North Ridge!" โ
Chu Huan smiled: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will take you out." โ
"Chu Huan, when you crossed the North Ridge alone, did you encounter these dangers?"
"The queen means wolves?" Chu Huan shook his head and said: "I really haven't encountered a wolf, but I have met a leopard and a python several times, fortunately, there are ...... no dangers!" โ
The queen said "um", was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "That girl is your wife?" โ
"You mean Mei Niang?" Chu Huan smiled and said, "Yes, I have already married her ......!" โ
The queen said: "She seems to care about you. โ
"Yes, since it's my wife, it's naturally good to me." Chu Huan smiled and said, "Isn't the empress also very good to the emperor?" โ
The queen didn't speak, Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I heard that after the fall of the Hua Dynasty, the queen went to the end of the world with two hundred loyal guards, and finally defected to the side of Qin Hou......!" โ
"You know these things in Zhongyizhuang?" The queen asked.
Chu Huan nodded slightly, "It's what Yuan Yu said himself." He said that in order to avenge the Hua Dynasty, the queen promised the Marquis of Qin that as long as she killed Qu Chuli and took the capital, she would marry the Marquis of Qin! โ
"You know a lot." The queen said lightly.
Chu Huan sighed: "Why didn't the queen let Marquis Qin help you restore Dahua back then?" At that time, Yuan Yu was still there, there were successors to the Dahua Dynasty, and as far as I know, the Hua Dynasty ruled the Central Plains for two hundred years, although the capital fell and the world was turbulent, but the Hua Dynasty still had courtiers who were nostalgic for the Hua Dynasty. โ
The queen frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?" โ
"I'm just thinking about Qin Hou's thoughts at that time." Chu Huan sighed: "He was also a magistrate of the Hua Dynasty, why didn't he think about being loyal to the Hua Dynasty?" โ
The queen said lightly: "He has already avenged the dynasty!" โ
"Niangniang, with all due respect, if he supports Yuan Yu to ascend the throne and rebuild the Hua Dynasty, he will naturally be the first hero." Chu Huan said: "But the destruction of the capital and the establishment of the Qin Dynasty can also be said to have avenged the Hua Dynasty, but ...... In fact, the Qin army conquered the capital and killed Qu Chuli, just to clear the way for the establishment of Great Qin, even if there was no empress's conditions, Qin Hou still had to attack the capital, and it would never be possible to let Qu Chuli live! โ
The queen frowned and said, "What exactly do you want to say?" โ
Chu Huan asked, "Empress, can I turn around?" โ
The queen hesitated for a moment, "um", Chu Huan turned around and saw that the queen was frowning, but her mature and beautiful face looked more and more charming at this time, she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and she had a graceful and elegant atmosphere of a noble lady, but at this time, wearing coarse cloth clothes, she still couldn't hide her mature and glamorous beauty.
"Yuan Yu said a lot at the beginning." Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I have heard a lot, in fact, I know very well that the situation was urgent at that time, Yuan Yu made up his mind to tell some secrets to King Qi, he knew that he was likely not to live, so before he died, he had to tell King Qi all the secrets of the year, even if I was by King Qi's side, he couldn't take care of it...... Because he has a concern! โ
"Worried?" The queen stared into Chu Huan's eyes.
Chu Huan also stared at the queen's charming eyes, "Yuan Yu is worried that after he dies, the secret of the year will sink into the sea, and King Qi will never have a chance to know it again...... Maybe in Yuan Yu's opinion, you don't want King Qi to get involved in too much right and wrong, and many secrets should have been sued by you, but he said it on your behalf, which can only show that he is worried that you will hide the secrets of the year in order to protect King Qi......! โ
The queen's body trembled slightly, but she still said, "What else do you want to say?" โ
"When I was in Zhongyizhuang, I didn't think too much about it." Chu Huan said: "But later, when I recalled the scene at that time and remembered Yuan Yu's words, I always felt that there were still many strange things in it. Yuan Yu stayed in Zhongyizhuang and never left, saying that he wanted to guard those loyal souls there...... He is the royal bloodline of the Hua Dynasty, destined to bear the burden of reviving Dahua, whether he wants to or not, this is his mission, if he is a cowardly and incompetent person with no ambitions, foster Zhongyi Zhuang, do not ask about the world, it is understandable, after all, the prince of the dead country who has no ambition is not much different from the dead. โ
The queen's eyebrows were slightly raised, and her voice was a little cold: "Chu Huan, I don't understand what you mean." โ
"In fact, the Yuan Yu I know has always been ambitious, otherwise he would not have used his life to defend the King of Qi, and before he died, he told the King of Qi many secrets." Chu Huan said softly: "It can be seen that Yuan Yu has always had the ambition to revive Dahua, according to reason, since he has such a mind, he will never hide in Zhongyizhuang and not ask about the world." โ
The queen said: "Is there anything wrong with living in seclusion?" โ
"Of course it's not appropriate for a prince who has big ambitions." Chu Huan said: "So I thought about it, he has not gone out in Zhongyizhuang, it is very likely that he has been under surveillance, and he can't leave Zhongyizhuang at all." โ
"Then when you go to Zhongyi Village, someone is watching?" The queen asked lightly.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "When I went to Zhongyizhuang with King Qi, I really didn't meet anyone who was watching, but I thought about it later, at that time, Yuan Yu had been in Zhongyizhuang for twenty years, although he was younger than the emperor, but it looked like he was about to die, and he was alone, Yuan Yu at that time couldn't do anything, and Daqin had been established for twenty years, and Yuan Yu wanted to revive Dahua again, lack of money and few people, it was difficult to achieve great things, so naturally there was no need to monitor again...... Only being watched by others can explain why he is willing to stay in Zhongyizhuang for twenty years, and can also explain why when he sees King Qi, he will tell King Qi many secrets ......! Gazing at the queen, he said: "Just because he pinned his ideals on the body of King Qi, he handed the courage to revive Dahua to the shoulders of King Qi!" โ
The queen had a complicated look in her eyes and did not speak.
"Yuan Yu is the queen's brother, according to reason, he should enjoy glory and wealth, and should not live in Zhongyizhuang." Chu Huan said: "He is the uncle of the Qin State, even if he can't enjoy the glory and wealth, he won't be closely watched, and he can't leave Zhongyizhuang, so ...... The emperor is wary of Yuan Yu and has been worried about Yuan Yu's comeback......! The corners of his mouth flashed a strange smile: "This reason is very simple, all along, a dynasty destroys miรจ, and the latecomers will never be merciful to the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they must cut the grass and eradicate the roots...... Yuan Yu is alive, it is a banner of the Hua Dynasty, and he may be able to raise it at any time, so it is natural for the emperor to be jealous of Yuan Yu. The emperor is a decisive person, although Yuan Yu is the uncle of the Qin State, but he has always been a great thing, he will not be a woman's benevolence, the emperor fought in the south and the north, and laid down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, how can he be a soft-hearted person, since he is afraid of Yuan Yu, why send someone to monitor, the best way should be to let Yuan Yu disappear completely, so that he can really feel at ease ......! โ
The queen's face turned cold, stared at Chu Huan's eyes, and sneered: "If it were you, you would be the killer?" โ
"Not in his position, not in his own business." Chu Huan smiled: "I'm not the emperor, so as far as I'm concerned, there is no answer." However, Yuan Yu was able to survive, of course, not because the emperor was soft-hearted, but for another reason, I am afraid that Yuan Yu may not know until he dies! โ
"What is the reason?" The queen asked lightly.
Chu Huan put a finger on the tip of his nose, looked at the queen's eyes, and said with a smile: "According to Yuan Yu, the queen married Qin Hou only because Qin Hou conquered the capital and executed Qu Chuli...... But before the Qin army attacked the capital, the queen must have known that the Qin army would have to hit the capital sooner or later, and Qu Chuli would definitely be executed, no conditions were needed, Qin Hou would do this, in this case, why would the queen sacrifice herself and let Qin Hou do something he would definitely do? โ
At this moment, Mei Niang's voice came: "Brother Huan, how are you over there?" โ
"It's fine." Chu Huan looked at the queen and did not take his eyes away, "You take care of yourselves, this group of beasts will not go away for a while, I'm afraid it will be dawn...... Watch out for them sneaking up the tree ......! โ
Mei Niang and Qi Hong both agreed, and the queen finally asked, "Then why do you think I put forward such a condition?" โ
Chu Huan said: "You defected to Qin Hou's side, just because Qin Hou played the banner of attacking the capital, killing Qu Chuli, and avenging the emperor of the Hua Dynasty at the beginning. At that time, you were in exile, and what you needed was a strong army to revive the Hua Dynasty, and the banner of the Marquis of Qin may have made you think that this person might be a loyal minister, so you defected to him. โ
The queen closed her eyes, her delicate body trembled slightly, Chu Huan sighed, and said: "Qin Hou may have been really respectful to you at the beginning, and even made people mistakenly think that he was really a loyal minister of the Hua Dynasty, but you are a smart person, and by following Qin Hou's side, you gradually know what Qin Hou is as a person, and even know what his purpose is......!" โ
