When Si Qingyun heard Chu Bushe repeatedly mention "those few knives", she felt even more ashamed and uneasy. She couldn't even say sorry because words were too pale and powerless.
"Then your skills..." She remembered this.
"Of course it's still there. Pure Yang Body is just an excuse I made up."
"That's good!"
Si Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had forgotten that it was Chu Bushe who had deceived her. Now she just felt that she had not done anything too wrong.
If she damaged Chu Bushe's skills and injured him so badly, Si Qingyun would not know how to compensate him.
It's really not a pity to die!
Chu Bu She was so panicked that he wanted to pat his chest. In fact, what he did was the most beastly thing. He was cheating on her body and playing with her feelings.
"Okay, okay, those things are in the past. Don't think about them anymore. Let me tell you what happened in the past few days, okay?"
Si Qingyun was held in the man's arms, her chin resting on his shoulder, still a little confused about the current situation.
She nodded slightly and said "hmm".
"After you fell unconscious, my companions and I killed the Second Prince and two other vicious guards. A few days after the incident, the capital was investigating the matter, but I was not implicated.
It probably became an unsolved case, and the emperor couldn’t do anything about it.”
There are more details involved. The eldest prince was suspected because of the jade artifacts left at the scene, but it was just a suspicion.
Anyone can buy an item from a jade shop, so there is no way to determine whether it was made by the eldest prince.
It must be said that the advice Princess Yu gave him at the time was clever precisely here.
If the evidence is too conclusive, it may be seen as a deliberate frame-up.
The current evidence points to the eldest prince being the real prince, but it seems that he is not the real prince. However, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be something wrong.
It tickles people's hearts!
Therefore, although the jade artifact at that time could not completely put the blame on the emperor, it always put the eldest prince in a state of suspicion.
Chu Bu She was naturally also questioned by someone, asking him why he went out of the city and how he got injured.
All of this was glossed over.
The only problem is Si Qingyun's whereabouts.
"Qingyun, you are still missing for now. Stay with me from now on. Just wear a mask when you go out to meet people."
Si Qingyun was silent for a while. She didn't expect so many things to happen.
There was silence and surprise.
A prince who had the potential to be the crown prince died suddenly, and his appearance was very strange. He was even castrated. In the huge bureaucracy of the capital, no one could trace the cause back to Chu Bushe.
"Your Highness, few people know that I am a White Tiger Guard. I can continue to return to the Heavenly Prison, which will be convenient for Your Highness in the future..."
Before Si Qingyun could finish her words, Chu Bushe interrupted her. He looked at the girl in front of him seriously and angrily.
"Qingyun, I just said that I am your brother and you are my sister. Please stop calling me 'Your Highness', okay?"
"Well, brother..."
Si Qingyun is not used to this kind of family address because it is too unfamiliar.
But she didn't resist.
"Then Qingyun will have to be more tolerant of me if she is irritated by my behavior in the future."
Chu Bu She only hoped that when Si Qing Yun looked back at this moment and came to her senses, she would not use a knife on him...
"As for the matter of returning to the Heavenly Prison, forget it. What makes me happiest is that I have found a family member in the Great Zhou, not that some organization in the Great Zhou has planted spies there. It is enough for you to stay by my side!"
"Well, no matter what brother does to me, Qingyun will not be angry."
Si Qingyun's heart was touched, and she slowly reached behind Chu Bushe with her wooden arms and hugged him.
At this time, a voice called out from outside the clinic, and a man asked:
"Is His Royal Highness Prince Rong here? Does the notice still count?"
Ok?
The second prince is dead, how can anyone get the talisman?!
Chu Bu She was puzzled. He helped Si Qingyun lie down and said earnestly:
"You can rest for a while. You don't need to clean up the broken dishes on the ground. I'll go outside and come back soon."
Chapter 50: The Immortal of the Homecoming Team?
Bai She watched Chu Bu She come out of the room, and sighed that the boy had really grown up and could even trick a girl.
However, Chu Bushe was not as relaxed as he seemed. As soon as he closed Si Qingyun's door, he gasped and patted his chest.
He seemed to have survived a disaster, and said in a low voice with relief:
"I thought Qingyun knew that my power had not disappeared, and she would have to treat me coldly anyway, but I didn't expect that she would be let off.
I just hope she will come to her senses and not kill me!"
Bai She observed the girl's temperament and estimated that she would not react too drastically after discovering the truth.
......perhaps.
"Should I give her a try with the veil? There are no masks in the clinic."
Bai She took out a spare veil. She had just heard the conversation between Chu Bu She and the prison warden.
"Okay, then I'll go see what's going on outside. There are actually people who took the notice."
Chu Bushe walked towards the front hall, while Bai She opened the door and walked into Si Qingyun's room.
in the room,
Si Qingyun squatted on the ground with her porcelain-white feet bare, slowly picked up the broken pieces of the tea bowl and placed the crumbs in her hands.
Chu Bu She did say that she didn't need to clean up, but Si Qingyun couldn't bear to just ignore the mess she had made.
Seeing the door open, Si Qingyun looked up. Her bright eyes, like a pool of clear water in a deep stream, reflected a quiet woman wearing a black veil.
The two women, both with no expression on their faces, seemed to meet each other's eyes, and stared at each other in silence through their veils.
"My name is Bai She. I'm giving you a veil to temporarily replace the mask. Please see if it fits you."
Bai She put the veil in her hand beside the bed, turned around, took the broom from outside the door, and went into the room to sweep up the debris.
"My name is Si Qingyun, thank you."
After expressing her thanks, Si Qingyun saw that her cleaning job had been snatched away. She stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do next. Her reaction was dull.
She had no choice but to pick up the veil and try to put it on.
Si Qingyun had doubts about the concealing effect of the veil.
Would it really be possible for others not to recognize her just by covering her eyes?
That's impossible. Could it be that Chu Bu She likes women wearing this veil?
Bai She noticed Si Qingyun's doubts, but she was only responsible for delivery, not after-sales, so she didn't ask her what she thought, but asked:
"Your toe was broken by the splinters. Why didn't you be more careful?"
Hearing this, Si Qingyun lowered her head and through the lace holes of her veil, she found that her toes were indeed bleeding, and there were spots of blood on the floor, like drops of red ink.
"Sorry, I'll clean the floor later."
"..."
Bai She was speechless after hearing Si Qingyun's answer. She was not blaming Si Qingyun for making the floor dirty and covered in blood.
"I'm asking why you were so careless as to hurt yourself just after getting out of bed."
"...I was distracted by something. This is not considered an injury. My self-healing ability is not weak. It will heal in an hour."
"Once Bu She has dealt with the matter in the front hall, I will ask him to come over. Don't move around for now and have a good rest."
Bai She gently stroked Si Qingyun's head, then stood up and left the room.
Si Qingyun is a cold and apathetic girl, alienated from the outside world and difficult to reach, but in fact, she is like a cold little female cat who is alone and strong after being hurt.
......
The front hall of the clinic.
The man who came to see Chu Bushe was a middle-aged man dressed like a businessman, wearing a brown robe and a piece of Hetian jade in the shape of a gold ingot hanging on his belt.
"Your Highness Prince Rong, I, Wu Liangde, heard about the announcement and came all the way from another place."
When Wu Liangde spoke, his accent was obviously that of a native Chuliang person.
Chu Bushe was puzzled as to the purpose of his visit, wondering if someone was testing him.
But he did not show his suspicion on his face, and said with a gentle smile:
"You are from Chuliangzhou, and you also have intelligence clues about the Western Expedition Army?"
"Yes, Your Highness, can we talk about this behind closed doors?"
"no problem."
After Chu Bu She closed the door, he waited for him to explain his purpose.
Wu Liangde advised sincerely:
"Your Highness, there is no need to post those notices anymore. If someone comes with a token, they are definitely here to defraud the money!"
"Why do you say that?"
Chu Bushe's expression was serious and imposing.
"The tokens of the families of the Western Expedition Army had been confiscated long ago, but it was impossible for them to produce the tokens!
To be honest, after the change of king, my father could not bear to see the fellow villagers suffer misfortunes, so he secretly took in many people who had left their homes.”
As Wu Liangde spoke, he took out a labor list and handed it to Chu Bushe. It recorded the people that their family had taken in that year.
Keeping such a large group of people at home would definitely arouse suspicion, so it would be most appropriate to recruit them as temporary workers.
This kind of old matter is equivalent to exposing one's own past. Although no one will pursue it now and those who deserve to be punished are dead, telling it out loud is equivalent to giving others a handle.
Chu Bu She carefully looked through the names on the employment list, which even had small characters on it indicating who in his family had joined the army.
These names could not be faked, he had indeed seen them before, and they were in the list that Ming Surou helped him get from Prince Qing's Mansion.
Of course, there are only a few people, and as merchants, it is impossible for them to take in all the families of the Western Expedition Army who are in trouble.
"How are these people now?"
Chu Bushe asked, his heart slightly stirred.
Originally, he didn't have too many plans, and he just wanted to test whether the information from Jingzhao Yin was true.
Unexpectedly, we actually found the people related to the Western Expedition.
"Many people have passed away. After all, it was decades ago. Most of them have no children. All their children were captured.
But there are also some old men and women who are stubborn and, after hearing the news from the capital, beg me to tell Your Highness that you don’t need to spend any more money on this.”
"Have they come to the capital?"
"They are here, in the carriage outside. I am taking them into the city on the pretext of bringing my elders to the capital for medical treatment."
During the time since the second prince's death, access control in the capital has become stricter and registration is required for entry and exit.
When outsiders come to Beijing, they must explain their purpose and when they will leave.
Chu Bu She walked out of the clinic and saw those old men. They were over 70 years old and had lost all their teeth.
After asking their names, Chu Bu She drew their portraits again and asked them to identify them. The old man who received the paintings burst into tears.
Chu Bu She was completely relieved, having confirmed that their identities were genuine and what Wu Liangde said was true.
After trying to find out about the Western Expedition for so long, this is probably the best news I've heard so far.
In times of trouble, there are still Chuliang merchants who are willing to step forward and take risks to help their fellow villagers.
"Take these banknotes, Wu Liangde. This is compensation given to you by me on behalf of the elders in the Western Regions."
