Chapter 26: This thorny road

His very soft voice fell on the tip of Xie Linlang's heart like a feather, and then ripples in the heart lake, endless layers...
Just when Xie Linlang was about to say something to comfort him, he only heard the water basin crash on the ground! At the same time, Xiao Xi's voice changed her tone--
"What are you doing?!"
Xie Linlang was startled, and Xiaoxi rushed over in the next second, quickly pulling away the long gown that was aside, and then headed towards Xie Linlang!
"My son, don't forget, you are a man!!"
Qin Jue was a little stunned when he was pushed away by Xiaoxi. He became even more stunned when he heard Xiaoxi's words. What does "he is a man"?
Fortunately, when he interrupted like this, Xie Linlang also woke up.
Really! Although she hasn't developed much yet, she is a woman anyhow, how can she be so careless?
So she apologized and said to Xiaoxi, "There is nothing between us, Qin Jue just came to care about my injury..."
Xiaoxi guarded Xie Linlang behind her like a calf, and looked at Qin Jue with a look of anti-wolf!
"Does concern need to be expressed in the bath?"
This... does not seem to need...
Qin Jue frowned, endured the weird feeling, and whispered, "Since you are all right, I am leaving."
He said, walking to the door, remembering something, or whispering.
"On poison, I know better. If you feel uncomfortable, don't act aggressively."
Xie Linlang nodded nonchalantly, and after Qin Jue went out did she breathe a long sigh of relief, and Xiao Xi could not restrain herself from talking in her ear.
"My son, it wasn't me who said you, how can a boy not protect himself so carelessly?"
Xie Linlang is very sorry, "I know...I will be careful in the future, but Qin Jue is still young and doesn't know anything..."
Xiao Xi suddenly looked at her with a hatred of iron and steel, "...when he understands everything, you will be dead!"
On the other side, Qin Jue walked out of the yard alone. It seemed that he wanted to go out and blow the hair to wake him up.
Why did he say that to Xie Linlang just now? This feeling is very strange, so strange that it seems to be a feeling he would have in his previous life.
The night was bleak, and the place where they settled was very remote, and no one could be seen.
Qin Jue looked into the distance and could vaguely see the dark shadows undulating on the horizon, that is, Qilian Mountain. As long as you turn over there, Xiangcheng is very close...
Suddenly, he stopped.
A trace of rust came, and a man in black appeared silently behind Qin Jue.
But soon, he knelt down on one knee, his solid and stalwart body was as stable as a mountain!
Just listen to him in a low voice, "Your Highness, you are finally here!"
No one understands why Qin Jue didn't escape from the country, but turned back at a critical time.
Doesn't he know that returning to Qin is a life of nine deaths?
No, he knows it, knowing that since the emperor has already taken action to destroy the Xia family, it is impossible to stay alive, but he has returned, with a mortal determination and terrible hatred, he has returned to hell!
Dong Qi remembered that a few months ago, when they were on the border, they could leave the State of Qin as long as they crossed the Mu Long River. Who knew that the queen suddenly committed suicide and disrupted all their deployment.
That night, His Royal Highness held the queen’s body and sat for a whole night by the Muchang River, motionless, no one knew what he was thinking, no one knew whether he would jump directly into the gallop next second In the river, life and death seem to be between one thought.
But in the end he didn't jump down or cry. When the sky began to turn white, he stood up and gave a few orders.
First, all the remaining forces, stop following him, and all transfer to Xiangcheng.
Second, contact the rest of the capital, he wants to return to Beijing.
At that time everyone thought he was crazy. Isn't it a dead end to go back at this time?
And he was not crazy or dead. After he returned alone with the queen’s body, he presented a "blood book left by the queen before his death", and then he pleaded guilty to all the charges in front of the civil and military officials. Willing to accept any punishment, only the surviving mother can be buried in the tomb!
People who are no matter how iron and blood may be weakened at this moment... As expected, the emperor who had determined his will to kill him was finally sentenced to exile.
But the emperor's escape was just the first step on the thorny road.
He contacted the Anbu in the palace to make a statement and decided the place of exile in Xiangcheng.
Then he dismissed all the forces in Beijing, just treating himself as a dead prince without threat.
How far is it from the imperial palace to Xiangcheng? It may be like the nine-nine-nine-eighty-one tribulation in the fairy tale, but he must walk this road by himself.
The hidden forces cannot be exposed, his original purpose is Xiangcheng, and he cannot die on the road...
Therefore, those of them who have come to Xiangcheng a long time ago are actually not sure whether the prince can complete his deployment and live with them...
Before he returned to Beijing, the dark guard leader had asked him.
"Subordinates and others can go to Xiangcheng and wait for His Royal Highness, but what if... Your Royal Highness does not come?" What if he died on the road?
How did Qin Jue answer at that time? He smiled and said in a very calm and gentle voice.
"If I don't come, it's my fate, then you'll be gone. It's not worth it for someone who can't even save his life."
That was the last time he showed a gentle smile.
After that, they came to Xiangcheng and waited every day. It was only a few months, but it was a very long time.
Finally, they waited, Your Highness, he is coming!
Qin Jue slowly turned around. He was different now. In front of Xie Linlang, he was surly, gloomy, moody, and occasionally childish.
But before his former men, his eyes were so silent that there was no light, because when he saw them, he knew that he was here for revenge.
"Why are you here?" He tilted his head slightly, "Here is still a few days away from Xiangcheng."
Although the people who escorted the team were dead, Qin Jue was not sure that the emperor had not sent anyone to monitor him. In order not to fail, they shouldn't have met now.
Dong Qi suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a low voice, "We are all around us, there will be nothing wrong, Your Highness..." He looked at Qin Jue's thinner body than a few months ago and choked up.
"You have suffered along the way!"
Suffer? Qin Jue was a little startled.
The previous month was very bitter, and after...Xie Linlang came, although when I was with her, I had to avoid all kinds of pursuits, but for some reason, Qin Jue didn’t feel bitter even when he thought of it. In the second half of the buffer, he remembered that when he had been tortured before, he didn't have the urge to slaughter everything, and it all passed.
