Chapter 002 The Mass Burial Mound Finds the Body
When she looked at the noble man who looked like he was crazy, she was so worried that she wanted to cry loudly in the rain.
"Look again..."
Ling Xin opened the fresh and mutilated corpses one after another. Seeing that he could not find his lover after searching through them, his knees went weak and he knelt in the muddy water. The famous Marquis Jingguo who swept across the battlefield was as helpless as a child.
Generally, cry in the storm.
Han Rui's nose felt sour. She didn't know if it was her instinctive reaction when she saw him like this.
She walked carefully behind him and opened her umbrella to protect her from the wind and rain.
The wind and rain above the head suddenly stopped, Ling Xin turned around suddenly, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then one of his hands pinched Han Rui's soft neck like lightning.
Rouge was so frightened that she shouted: "Master Hou, don't hurt the princess..."
Ling Xin smiled sadly and looked around. The guards had surrounded him, ready to step forward and snatch the princess away at any time.
"Princess Chu Rui, for your own selfish reasons, you begged the late emperor to let me be your consort. You were jealous that I and Rumei were in love, so you took the opportunity to kill me. Did I warn you not to let me do it again?"
See you?"
His overwhelming anger, through his hands that tightened even more from time to time, frightened Rouge and all the guards out of their wits.
"I, I'm not..."
The three weak words that Han Rui squeezed out of her mouth were drowned out by the violent storm. Her face turned purple and she felt like she was about to be strangled to death.
Rouge could no longer care about anything else and knelt in the muddy water and kowtowed to Ling Xin: "Master Hou, the princess braved the rain just to find Miss Liu."
The hand on his neck loosened again.
Han Rui gasped for air, and her neck was pinched arbitrarily twice in one day. Each time, she was separated from the underworld by a layer of veil. Who has experienced this?
Ling Xin's eyes were red, and she turned around in despair and continued to search.
"Princess, my subordinate has found her."
A guard shouted.
Han Rui couldn't care anymore and rushed over, covering her neck, almost tripping over the wet hem of her skirt.
The scene in front of her made her almost vomit out everything she had eaten last night. However, due to Ling Xin's expression of grief and anger, she tightly covered her neck to reduce her sense of presence.
After digging through several stinking rotting corpses, only Liu Rumei's head was intact. Her limbs were bitten by unknown sources, and bright red rotting flesh and blood was revealed. Maggots were wriggling in the rotten flesh, and pus mixed with rainwater was released.
Gives off a nauseating smell.
Ling Xin didn't care about this at all. With a smile on his face, he took off his cloak and wrapped his beloved woman's body. His eyes were full of indescribable sadness and coldness.
"Rumei...Rumei!!!"
He screamed while holding the mutilated body, and the heavy rain still beat mercilessly on the cold body.
Han Rui watched from the side with a complicated heart, wondering how deeply she loved him to be like this.
She watched Ling Xin get on his horse and disappear into the rain.
Through the heavy rain, Han Rui smiled bitterly, "This is really troublesome. How can we resolve such a big hatred?"
"When the Imperial Palace wanted to deal with Miss Liu, why didn't you stop it?"
she complained.
Yanzhi used a dry cloth to wipe the scars on her neck with a gentle movement, "Princess, the servants tried to persuade her that day. The princess was determined to kill her, how could she listen to her."
There was a thunderclap, and Han Rui recalled the scene in her mind, and immediately shuddered, feeling her knot grow bigger.
It was already dark when she returned home, and a maid took care of her to bathe, change the medicine on her neck, and wrap it up again.
"Go and find out where the Marquis is at the moment?"
The maid immediately went down to give orders.
She walked to the study room next door, and after thinking for a long time, she picked up a brush and dipped it in thick ink and started writing notes.
She woke up before dawn the next day, and Yanzhi immediately dressed her up. In order to prevent her scars from being seen, she specially found a pink silk scarf and wrapped it around her neck, and then she hurriedly got into the carriage.
He went straight to the palace. In Zhaoyang Palace, the Queen Mother was having breakfast with the young emperor when she saw her daughter walking in quickly to greet her.
Han Rui carefully looked at Zhaoyang Palace and bowed politely, but she was shocked by the luxury here.
"Your Majesty, Mother, my daughter has something to discuss with you when she enters the palace this time."
She took out the written note from her sleeve and handed it over.
The Queen Mother read it quickly and frowned slightly, "What does the consort mean?"
Han Rui took a sip of tea. The tea soup was full of green color, and the aroma in her mouth went straight to her lungs.
"No, it's my daughter's wish. Not to mention that the court still relies on the Marquis. Liu Rumei has been keeping her peace since she entered the princess's house. This matter is my daughter's fault."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor looked at her in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
The young emperor walked around her, shook his little head and asked, "Did the emperor's sister change her gender?"
Thinking of the arrogant, domineering and cruel things her former boss had done, she felt ashamed.
"Your Majesty, Mother and Queen, please leave this matter up to your ministers."
The chopsticks in the Queen Mother's hand fell heavily on the table with a loud clatter, and her sharp eyes swept over Rouge, "Tell me, what did the Marquis say and do after he returned home yesterday?"
Rouge stepped forward tremblingly and knelt down to report back: "Replying to the Queen Mother, yesterday the Marquis went back to his residence and met with the princess, and then left..."
Han Rui stepped forward and shook the Queen Mother's arm and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, it is just the honor after death. It can also comfort the heart of the Marquis. It has nothing to lose to me. Can the Queen Mother obey my son?"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, tapping her fingers lightly on the table with a slight smile on her lips, "The Ai family is just curious about why you have changed your gender?"
The young emperor also stared at her with his big eyes, eager to know the answer.
Han Rui struggled for a while, "Yesterday evening, I wanted to go to the palace to pay homage to my mother, but I saw the Marquis running straight out of the city. I followed him to the mass grave. In the pouring rain, he cried like a child. I
Only then did I realize how big a mistake I had made. If Liu Rumei was left alone, she would not do anything to me. It was me who robbed her of her beloved and even her life. This honor is just compensation."
The Queen Mother took a deep look at her, trying to get some clues from her face. She almost couldn't keep the smile on her face, but fortunately the Queen Mother nodded.
"That's all, it's not a big deal, you just make the decision."
As the eldest princess left the palace, an imperial edict followed her to the Marquis of Jingguo.
The eunuch who delivered the edict was Eunuch Ying, the apprentice of the chief eunuch. He held up the imperial edict and looked into Ling Xin's bloodthirsty eyes. He was so frightened that he almost ran away from the door.
But when he thought of the imperial edict in his hand, he tried his best to control his body.
"My servant pays homage to the Marquis."
He quickly changed the word Prince Consort to the Marquis.
Ling Xin turned around and ignored him indifferently.
He cautiously took two steps forward and said, "Master Marquis, the Emperor has granted the title of Mrs. Liu to the Marquis of Jingguo, and specially ordered hundreds of officials and wives to come and see her off."
Ling Xin remained motionless.
Eunuch Ying felt pain in his heart, but he had to step forward cautiously: "Your Majesty, my condolences, please accept the order."
He bent down and held up the imperial edict, which was enough for a cup of tea. The imperial edict in his hand suddenly weighed more than a thousand pounds. His legs and stomach were trembling. When he almost couldn't hold on, a pair of hands finally took the edict.
He took a deep breath and bowed respectfully, "Master Marquis, the imperial edict has been delivered, and I will retire."
Then he took the two young eunuchs and fled.
