Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 35 Rescue the women

Huo Qingluan thought for a moment and replied: "Rescue the people first, and as for the rest, we can do as much as we can. As for the Huo family, they can only cover it up with soldiers. After all, it's not clear what they want to do."

Huo Qingluan's tone was relaxed, but hearing it in Song Jiyang's ears made him feel distressed.

Song Jiyang tightened the comb in his hand, "Luan'er, are you...sad?"

sad?Huo Qingluan blinked, wondering what Song Jiyang meant by this sentence.She shook her head, "I'm not sad. Those who should be sad have been sad for a long time. There are many things in this world that are unclear, and everyone revolves around their own interests. To achieve the goal, any means will be used, even It doesn't matter if they kill people or silence them. So, I have long been used to it. Besides, they are not my parents, so there is no need for me to feel sad."

Seeing her nonchalant look, Song Jiyang became more certain that she was not the Huo Qingluan of the past.He didn't know why she came to this body, but now that she was here, don't even think about escaping.

"it is good."

Huo Qingluan fiddled with the bronze mirror for a long time, then finally pulled up his hair and looked at Song Jiyang, "Let's go and eat."

Song Jiyang nodded and walked out side by side with her.

……

On the other side, inside the palace.

"You said the regent suddenly fainted?" Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Song frowned slightly, his face gloomy as frost.

"It's absolutely true! The spies came to report that Ling Gang sent people out of the city overnight to find Situ Jing in another courtyard."

The eyes of the man on the dragon throne flickered twice, "I thought he was pretending to be sick, but I didn't expect that he was really sick. So...who is going to the queen's palace?"

The guard who was kneeling on the ground raised his eyes to look at Li Shun, the eunuch chief who was standing aside.

Li Shun immediately replied: "I haven't found anything yet. But it is said that the Queen has led people to inspect various palaces today, and it seems that... no suspicious person has been seen."

"Hmph, I don't believe she wouldn't be aware of it. But...since someone is checking her, I will wait and see what happens and reap the benefits." After the man on the dragon chair finished saying this, he paused and asked again : "Su Jinxiu...is there any problem?"

Li Shun, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything is normal with Su Jinxiu. But..."

Emperor Song, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked sternly: "But what? If you fart, hurry up."

"Yes, I obey the order. The Queen seems to be interested in Miss Su, and has secretly let one of her maids sneak into Miss Su's place. It seems that she plans to do something."

"Oh?" The man on the dragon chair squinted his eyes thoughtfully, "Send someone to keep an eye on him and report any news to me in time. In addition, arrange for Su Jinxiu to sleep with him tonight."

"Yes, the slave obeys."

The man on the dragon throne waved his hand, and Li stepped back.

Emperor Song looked out the window at the dark night with a strange smile on his lips.He wanted to see what the Queen would do this time?
……

In the middle of the night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

A figure jumped up to a courtyard. The courtyard was unusually quiet at this time, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are many guards standing in it.

This figure quietly bypassed the guard and entered the room in the corner. He opened the room and saw several women lying or squatting inside. When he saw the door being opened, a woman was about to make a sound, but she saw someone coming. Made a "shush" motion.

These women were all stunned for a moment, and then they all closed their mouths.

"I'll help you untie the rope, don't talk, let's get out of here." The person said in a low voice.

When they heard it was a woman's voice, all the women breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.The visitor took off the ropes from their ankles and untied the hemp ropes that bound their wrists. Then they helped the people on the ground and left in a hurry with the girls.

……

Twenty miles outside Zhongdu City, several carriages stopped by the roadside, and a dozen women walked out from the front. They all had more or less different scars on their faces and bodies.

The curtains of the carriage at the front were opened, and Huo Qingluan, who was wearing a black outfit, got out. Her face was full of exhaustion, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she looked a little embarrassed.

Huo Qingluan pointed to a ship docked by the river and said to more than a dozen women: "Get on the ship. We will return to Zhongdu after the storm calms down in a few years."

"But, our parents..." A woman said hesitantly. She had never left Zhongdu and didn't know what the outside world was like.

"Do you think you can escape the pursuit of those people if you stay?" Huo Qingluan looked at the people in front of her helplessly. She understood the fear and fear in their hearts, "Moreover, if you stay, your parents will only have to suffer. A more tragic ending. It is the best choice for you to leave."

She was right. It was not an option for them to stay, but it might involve the lives of more people.And leaving Zhongdu can at least save the lives of his parents.After they were taken away, they were subjected to inhuman torture.Although their hatred is deep, their power is too small.If he stays in Zhongdu, I'm afraid there will only be greater sacrifices.

Huo Qingluan looked at their still hesitant expressions and sighed: "Don't worry, as long as you leave here, I will send someone to take care of your parents."

Hearing this, a dozen women looked at each other, and then all knelt on the ground.

"Thank you girl for your kindness."

Huo Qingluan nodded, "Let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of women boarded the ship on the shore one after another.

Huo Qingluan looked at their retreating figures and let out a long sigh. They were lucky to survive.I hope they won't be as timid as they are now.

What the future holds is beyond her control.

When the boat was completely gone and they could no longer be seen, Ling Gang helped Song Jiyang walk out of the forest.

"They are very lucky." Song Jiyang said calmly, looking at the ship gradually disappearing in the night sky.

Huo Qingluan pursed her lips, "Everything depends on them. I can help them once, but I can't help them the second time. Even if they get my help, they may end up in a different ending. No matter what, it's their own choose."

She is not a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, and helping them is just the trace of humanity left in her heart.As for the consequences, it depends on their respective fates.

Song Jiyang nodded, stretched out his hand, took her hand, and patted her gently: "Let's go back."

Huo Qingluan let him hold his hand and followed him, and the two of them slowly returned to the other courtyard.

……

The next day, a major incident occurred again in Zhongdu City - many officers and soldiers suddenly appeared in the West City and were searching every household one by one.

Moreover, people from the government actually posted notices, claiming that assassins were hiding in private houses, asking people to pay attention to their safety.

In this case, the neighbors would naturally not dare to act without authorization.

For a time, the entire West Street was filled with a tense atmosphere.
