Chapter 24
Lu Jinzhou hid behind the crowd and did not leave.

At this time, he raised his eyebrows when he saw the voices around Chu Qingyun supporting Chu Qingyun. Chu Qingyun had acted in a high-profile way in Zhongzhou for only a few days, and he had changed the wind direction in Zhongzhou. He did have some skills.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of His Majesty, the more capable you are, the faster you die.

Thinking of this, his face darkened even more.

As for Chu Qingyun, who was standing in the middle of the street, she turned a blind eye to the sword less than three inches away from her chest, and even took half a step forward.

"His Royal Highness, Chu's parents and daughters, Chu Qingyun and his family brought General Chu home."

The guard looked inside the sedan chair hesitantly, hesitating whether to give way.

While hesitating, the prince stepped out of the sedan chair in a splendid attire. The clothes were dazzling red, like blood, as if he was laughing at the people all over the city and the loyal bones who died tragically behind him.

Chu Qingyun glanced at it, then moved her eyes away in disgust.

No matter how expensive the prince's brocade clothes are, and the jade pendant around his waist is expensive, it can't stop the ugliness in front of him.

Incredible!

The prince was stunned, his eyes seemed to be fixed on Chu Qingyun's face.

Chu Qingyun's eyes are as clear as water, her hair is black in a bun, and her skin is as fair as jade.

The prince didn't move for a long time, but Bai Shi, who was tightly shadowed by Chu Qiuchi, couldn't wait, broke free from the restraint, and ran to the back of the sedan chair, crying loudly.

Chu Qingyun glanced at the squinting prince, the disgust in her heart was even stronger, and said coldly: "My mother is too sad, don't blame the prince."

But before he finished speaking, a guard around the prince pointed a sword at Bai and roared, "Why are you crying? You startled the prince's horse. Be careful of your head."

Chu Qiuchi was already hot-tempered. If it wasn't for the crown prince, he would have made a move just now. Now he couldn't bear it any longer. With a flick of the whip in his hand, he rolled up the sword in the guard's hand, and the sword flew away with a whistling sound. Pass the sedan chair.

The sword was about to stab the prince, Chu Qingyun suddenly turned around and kicked away.

The crown prince has to die, but we can't be so ignorant now. Furthermore, if the crown prince dies, the Chu family will be convicted of collaborating with the enemy and assassinating the crown prince.

Chu Qingyun blessed Fushen slightly: "Qiu Chi is still young and behaves recklessly, His Royal Highness, I wonder if I can take Dad home now."

The prince's squinting expression disappeared, and the killing intent in his eyes was fully revealed.

After a while, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched: "Qingyun wants to see her father, of course you can, come here, move out,"

The carriage of the Chu family was parked on one side, and Chu Qingyun stared at the prince.

If she successfully received her father today, it would have nothing to do with her, Chu Qingyun, what kind of stupid and absurd prince this prince is. She would resign and take the Bai family and her second brother to Dongjian's hometown to reunite, and live a peaceful and smooth life for the rest of her life.

Chu Qingyun's mind was spinning a thousand times, but when she saw the straw mat brought out by the guards, the blood in her heart surged, and even her delicate face became ferocious.

His father was the commander of the army and died for the country, but the prince didn't even prepare a coffin, so he transported it all the way from Xijian to Zhongzhou with such a tattered straw mat.

The bumps along the way, the wind and snow along the way, is father tired?Is it cold?
Chu Qingyun's throat was choked up, and she couldn't bear it any longer. She approached the prince's sedan chair, raised her head, and it took a lot of effort to speak out:
"His Royal Highness, dare to commit such a heinous crime for my father, that His Royal Highness didn't even prepare a coffin?
The prince probably didn't expect that someone dared to question the dignified prince of a country, and immediately changed his face: "It would be good if you can bring it back. For those who have lost a battle, what face do they have to go to the ground?"

There was an uproar all around: "General Chu has served the country all his life, even if he misses and loses the battle, he can't do it so hastily, without even preparing a coffin?"

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, the prince is too vicious."

"General Chu is really pitiful."

……

Chu Qingyun grieved in her heart, pointing to the straw mat on the ground:
"My father fought in the battlefield all his life, and he was always ready to die at any time. In the backyard of the General's Mansion, two coffins have been placed for ten years. One is for my elder brother Chu Qiuyi, and the other is for myself! Paper money and white lanterns in the general’s mansion are kept in the woodshed all year round.”

"His Royal Highness, my father is not afraid of death! He is not afraid of being shrouded in horse leather for the common people! But why did he ever think that he is not even worthy of having a coffin after death?"

Although Chu Qingyun was standing in front of the sedan chair, she was not as tall as the prince, but she forced the prince to retreat again and again.

She glanced at the people around her, her eyes were sad, and she continued: "The dead and wounded soldiers under my father can still be properly arranged. When I get to my father, is this a broken mat?"

"May I ask His Royal Highness, my father fought for the country and ended up like this, who would dare to fight for me?"

The crown prince was so persecuted that he couldn't speak, lost his composure for a while, and became angry from embarrassment: "Come here, since the Chu family didn't know what to do, they asked people to feed the stinking corpse together with the mat to the dogs."

The guards looked at each other in blank dismay, being stared at tremblingly by Chu Qingyun, they didn't dare to move.

The Bai family on the side couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed forward frantically, trembling to lift off the straw mat.

Chu Qingyun rushed over with the last sliver of reason, and held down her mother's hand.

Bai looked at Chu Qingyun stiffly, and lost her temper for the first time: "Get out of the way, if you don't get out, I don't recognize you as a daughter."

Chu Qingyun knew the horrors there, and she still put her father's head in the ice cellar. How could her mother bear such a corpse?
"Qingyun, I want to see him, please let me see him." When Bai Shi spoke, she was already crying and her lips were trembling.

Chu Qingyun's hands froze, and she let go of her mother.

Just look at it, let the people in the whole Zhongzhou take a good look.

Chu Qingyun stood up with red eyes, and the guards beside the prince saw her fierce eyes, and took two steps back.

Bai's slowly lifted the straw mat, and the sudden loud roar startled Chu Qingyun and the common people.

The moment Chu Qingyun lowered her head, she realized why her mother was so heart-piercing. Her heart ached from being torn, and all the joints in her body were aching.

She knew that her father's head was in her own ice cellar, but the corpse in front of her was far from decapitated, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a broken corpse.

All the joints in the whole body were interrupted and cut off, the joints of white bones and pieces of rotten flesh, as the mat was lifted, there was a smell of rancid blood.

Mother Bai's hands trembled, stroking the father's legs, and gently putting his calves and thighs together. The broken armor on his father's body was full of traces of swords and blood.

Unsightly corpse spots grew on the back of her bare hands, but her mother, Bai Shi, took those calloused hands and pressed them to her cheeks without any hesitation. Hot tears flowed down her eyes, which turned faintly red.

Chu Qingyun looked at the always delicate Bai Shi, holding the mutilated corpse in a daze like a person who lost his soul.
