Chapter 2038 Atonement

Tongzhou City, which is getting closer to the end of the year, has no sign of chaos in the chaotic times. After the Northwest Army left the pass and captured the city, Tongzhou City has actually been in a state of stability.

Although Tongzhou had become an arsenal for processing weapons and equipment in order to support the Northwest Army's conquest, after Chu Huan issued an assessment order, most of the officials in Tongzhou performed their duties in order to consider their wealth and future. The Northwest Army had continuous good news on the front line, which made officials from all over Tongzhou look forward to their future, and their work efficiency was far better than during the Qin Dynasty.

As the end of the year approaches, Tongzhou City begins to have a sense of New Year, and the shops on the streets and alleys are quite lively.

In contrast, the prefect of Tongzhou Prefecture seems deserted.

Chu Huan temporarily appointed Ximen Yi to deal with the government affairs in Tongzhou. Ximen Yi was a child of a noble family in Tongzhou. He had a prestigious connections and had outstanding government affairs and was well-organized. In fact, he already had the real power of the magistrate of Tongzhou. However, the magistrate of Tongzhou was appointed to resettle the empress and the king of Qi, so Ximen Yi naturally had another office.

The prefecture was deserted and quiet, and Chu Huan entered the city secretly and no one knew about it. Even if he entered the prefecture, his subordinates would not be allowed to publicize it to the outside world.

When returning to the northwest of this trip, Tongzhou was the only way. Although Chu Huan was anxious, he still entered the city and wanted to meet the queen.

The King of Qi was crazy and knew it was true, which made Chu Huan very moved, and knew that the queen must be very sad.

Following the bluestone path in the mansion to the east courtyard, before he could reach the yard, he heard a burst of laughter coming. The laughter was very strange. Chu Huan turned his head to look over, but saw a man in a hunched clothes, disheveled hair, and holding a wooden stick in his hand. He was smirking and running towards him. Two warriors followed closely behind him.

Chu Huan was a little surprised when he saw this person at first. He just glanced at him and recognized him as King Qi. Although he and King Qi were so embarrassed, he felt uncomfortable when he saw that King Qi was so embarrassed. He frowned and was about to scold the two warriors, but King Qi had already run to Chu Huan not far away, tilted his head, and looked at Chu Huan up and down.

Seeing that his pupils dilated slightly and his eyes were dissipated, far from the spirit he saw back then, he knew that he could not do anything wrong, and he was even more sure that Chu Huan's madness 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 down when you see me? Are you going to rebel? I am about to go to fight against the rebellion, but now I have cut off your head and sacrifice the flag!" He turned around and shouted: "Come on, pull this dog slave down and chop it down!"

Chu Huan sighed lightly, but bowed: "Prince!"

When the King of Qi heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "You dog slave know that you can correct your mistakes. I am a kind person, so I will spare you." He waved the wooden stick in his hand and said, "What do you think about this sword? This is the sword that my father conquered the world back then. 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 and shook his head. King Qi laughed and said, "Of course you don't understand the father's intentions. In this world, who can understand the father's intentions except me? I tell you that the father wants to pass the throne to me. He only likes me, and this sword is proof."

At this time, the two warriors had come forward and saluted Chu Huan. Chu Huan frowned and asked, "Why are the prince so sloppy? Why haven't you changed him into new clothes? Do you think he is so he's bullying him?"

The warrior hurriedly said, "I dare not. Report to the king, since the King of Qi, no one is allowed to touch him. Not to mention changing clothes, even if he touches a piece of his hair, he will go crazy. We wanted to help him take a shower and change clothes the previous episode, but he injured people and tore and bite them. We didn't dare to hurt him, so!"

Chu Huan understood and knew that he had his own orders. These guards did not dare to target Wang Yongqiang and asked, "Has the Queen not asked?"

The two warriors looked at each other, both lowering their heads and not speaking.

Seeing this, Chu Huan was even more angry and shouted, "Don't you still talk?"

A warrior could only say, "King, after that incident, the queen never walked out of the courtyard again. We did not dare to go in and disturb us except to send people to deliver food and water. The prince was like this every day, and we could not stop us, so we could only follow us to protect us."

At this time, King Qi was really like treating a sword. He made a piece of brocade from somewhere in his hand. The brocade was dirty. But he carefully wiped the wooden stick with the brocade, muttering to himself: "There are many bad people in the world, and they all want to harm me. If I have this sword, no one is afraid of killing all the bad people in the world."

Chu Huan sighed and approached the past. However, the King of Qi immediately reacted and pointed the wooden stick at Chu Huan, with a look of alert on his face, and even a hint of horror in his eyes: "What are you going to do? Are you trying to harm me?"

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard, why not take a shower and change your clothes and have a good rest." Chu Huan's voice was gentle, with a smile: "Only by raising energy can we quell the rebellion and kill all the bad people in the world."

The King of Qi thought about it, looked around, then approached Chu Huan slightly, and lowered his voice: "I can't take a shower and change my clothes. Many people want to harm me. They will kill me while I am bathing. Do you recognize Chu Huan?"

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

"I don't want to see you, I don't want to see you." King Qi immediately said, and even a trace of resentment appeared in his eyes: "Do you know that he has been lying to me before. I always thought he was a good person, but he was the biggest rebel. He was determined to take my life, and I will not lose to him!" He looked around with a look of fear, looked around with a nervous expression, and said in a lower voice: "He is by my side, staring at me secretly. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will kill me!"

Chu Huan felt sad. After King Qi was crazy, he still regarded himself as his biggest enemy, which shows the hatred he had towards him in his heart.

The King of Qi whispered, but Chu Huan quietly raised his hand and walked around the back of the King of Qi's head and gently cut it on the back of the King of Qi's head. Seeing this, the two warriors were slightly surprised and thought that the King of Qi was rude and annoyed Chu Huan. Then Chu Huan took action to kill him.

Chu Huan's palm knife cut the back of the head of King Qi. King Qi's eyes flipped, his body shook, and then fell forward. Chu Huan had already reached out to hug him, stretched out his hand to stroke the hair covering King Qi's cheeks. He saw that he had not seen each other for a while. King Qi was very thin, his cheekbones were slightly raised, and there were many small holes on his skin, and he no longer looked like a prince back then.

Staring at the cheek of King Qi, Chu Huan was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and murmured: "No matter what, the grievances and grievances of the past will go with it, and I will not leave you behind from now on." He said to the two warriors: "You carry him to take a shower, wash it well, and change your clothes. He is my king's brother, and you must take good care of him."

The two warriors then realized that the King of Chu had just knocked the King of Qi unconscious. At that moment, the two of them carefully stepped forward and lifted the King of Qi and retreated.

After the King of Qi left, Chu Huan was silent for a moment before turning around and entering the East Courtyard. The yard was silent and terriblely deserted. He slowly walked into the courtyard. When he arrived at the door of the main room, he had already seen a ray of light coming out of the crack of the door. However, the door was covered in vain and knocked on the door lightly. There was no sound in the room. Chu Huan thought for a while before gently pushing the door open.

It was already dark, and there was no light in the house. After Chu Huan entered the house, he saw that the light in the house was emitted from the corner of the house. On a small table in the corner of the house, there was a bronze Buddha statue, and there was a sesame oil lamp in front of the bronze Buddha, which looked very simple. The queen was facing away from the door of the house, wearing plain clothes, covered with white gauze on her head, and kneeling devoutly in front of the bronze Buddha.

Chu Huan walked over lightly, and the queen obviously felt someone coming in, but she did not look back, and even had no 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 that things would be like this, but don't worry, I will ask the famous doctor to help the prince recover his mind and take good care of him in the future."

The queen didn't speak.

"I know you feel very uncomfortable." Chu Huan sighed lightly, walked to the queen, and knelt down in front of the bronze Buddha. He turned his head slightly, and through the white veil and through the fire, he vaguely saw half of the queen's face and whispered: "Some things have happened, and I can't turn back if I want to change."

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 seemed very calm. She looked at Chu Huan's eyes and said softly: "I'm waiting for you, I just want to ask you for something."

"you say!"

"Yu Ren is dead, and all he left is an optional body. I just hope you can send someone to take good care of this body." The queen's voice was as calm as water, and her beautiful eyes stared at Chu Huan's eyes, "Since you are here, I should leave too."

"Let's go?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Where to go?"

The queen said: "There is always a place I can go. For many years, I have never let go. I always thought I could catch something, but in the end I found that I couldn't catch anything. Since that's the case, I should let go of everything."

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

"I am a woman with bad luck." The queen said, "I only bring bad luck to the people around me. Such a woman should not exist in the world. But my sins are too heavy. If I commit suicide and cannot repay the sins I have committed, I can only spend the rest of my life atonement for my fault."

"The ancient Buddha of Qinglan is your method of atonement?" Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "You said you have sins, but who would say you are sinful? Everyone has their own destiny, and all the results are only caused by themselves. How can their success or failure be determined by a woman? Do you still have to bear their faults as well as you?"
