Chapter 160: Burning the Military Camp
At the first sight, Qing Jiujiu almost threw the wooden box away, but she could only hold back because Yun Lang was still there.
But even so, the pale faces of her and Xu Bai did not escape Yun Lang's eyes.
The broken hand of the fast horse had turned purple after several days of use, and the fingernails were even stained black with blood.
At first glance, it looks like a body dug up after being buried in the soil for many days.
Fortunately, it seemed to have been preservative treated, so there was no unacceptable smell.
"What's wrong, mother? What's inside?"
Because of his height, Yun Lang couldn't see what the two adults were holding, but looking at their faces, he couldn't help but become more curious.
"What on earth is it?" Yun Lang frowned together, looking quite serious: "I heard the doorman said that this box was left outside the door for a long time. The person who delivered the box was riding a horse and looked very big.
The way General Zhou is dressed is my father...is it him?"
Qing Jiujiu sighed.
Sometimes it is not a good thing for a son to be too smart.
Many times Yun Lang's insight is not like that of a seven-year-old child.
Xu Bai closed the box, walked to the table, took a sip of tea to calm down his shock, and then said: "That's crazy, who would send a woman's severed palm?"
"Parthand?!"
Yun Lang turned towards the box in surprise and found that if he looked carefully, there were some dried blood on the edge of the box.
Now that I know there is a Broken Hand inside, I feel bad all over. I just feel ghostly.
Who gave mother the severed palm?
Yes, when the box was delivered, there was a letter on it, addressed to Xie Jinghua and personally signed it.
Qing Jiujiu has used the name Xie Jinghua since he came to Yaowang Valley.
She was sitting eight hundred miles away from the box, with a sneer on her lips: "No need to guess, it was delivered by Ji Shiyan's crazy batch. This is not someone else's hand, it belongs to Qing Xiuxiu."
Qingxiuxiu...hands?!
This is even more shocking. Who in the whole Zhou Dynasty doesn't know how much Ji Shiyan cares and loves Qing Xiuxiu?
Not to mention that when Qing Jiujiu first married him, even when he later married Qing Xiuxiu, Ji Shiyan also gave her the supreme honor.
With the crown of phoenix and the harem, the palace is in power.
This was especially true after Qing Xiuxiu became pregnant. No matter how big a mistake Qing Xiuxiu made or how much harm she caused to Qing Jiujiu, she could escape unscathed in the end.
No matter what seasonal banquet I made, I never cared about it with her.
Not only did she not care about it, but after she became pregnant, there were more than a dozen women in Cuiyuxuan to serve her.
These favors are all real and obvious.
How could he be willing to chop off one of Qing Xiuxiu's hands?
That hand originally looked like an ordinary woman's hand, but on the middle finger, it was indeed wearing an emerald ring that Qing Xiuxiu showed off, saying it was an emerald ring that Ji Shiyan sent someone to order for her.
Ji Shiyan did this just so that he could treat her heart disease?
But the price is too high.
Ji Shiyan would be crazy to do such a thing.
"...He named Xie Jinghua. Has he already confirmed that you are not dead?"
Qing Jiujiu shook his head: "He was probably testing it, but he probably remembered what Yun Lang said to Xie Yu that day. He might have meant it to Yun Lang."
"Then what does he mean? Apologize and ask us to treat her? But Qing Xiuxiu's heart disease is just an act. She hasn't taken medicine for so many years, so she must have been fine long ago."
When Yun Lang heard that the severed hand was for him, a chill ran through his body.
His father was indeed as crazy as ever, using a broken hand as a greeting gift...
"Send it back." Qing Jiujiu snorted disdainfully: "I always suspect that there is something wrong with Ji Shiyan's brain."
Xu Bai picked up the box and was about to go out, asking someone to send it back to Ji Shiyan.
"Wait a minute." Qing Jiujiu said, "Since King Cheng'an is so intentional and has frightened us a lot, let's not let him down and give him a gift."
After she explained without expression, Xu Bai went down with the box.
"Mom," Yun Lang walked to Qing Jiujiu and looked up at her: "Could it be that my father actually wants to make peace with you? That day I saw him look very sad when Wanwan said that you had a difficult delivery.
.”
sad?
Qing Jiujiu has never seen Ji Shiyan look sad.
But she had heard of it.
Back then, Phoenix Courage still lacked a medicine to induce it, and the news Xu Bai brought back from the Western Regions was that it lacked the tears of a poisoner.
Qing Jiujiu originally thought it would be more difficult than reaching the sky, but later it was thanks to Zhong Xinxin's blessing.
After they faked their death and escaped, they received the antidote from Zhong Xinxin.
It is said that after Ji Shiyan came back from Binzhou, she shed a few tears at the entrance of Haitang Garden.
Others look sad.
After so many years, Qing has never believed that Ji Shi’s banquet was really sad.
His feelings for him were just the pleasure brought by his imprisonment, how could he be sincere?
All the testimonials about Ji Shiyan's feelings towards him are all false in Qing Jiujiu's opinion.
If a person really loves another person, how can he be willing to be imprisoned?
How could she be willing to let her be threatened and restricted at every turn?
The Ji Shi Yan was not affectionate. Even if he was affectionate, it was the affection that moved him.
If he had been half as indulgent to himself and Qing Xiuxiu back then, she would not have gone so far as to fake her death and escape.
Until now, Qing Jiujiu only hopes that he will never see Ji Shiyan's face again in this life.
She patted Yun Lang's head: "Don't be stupid, son. People like your father are selfish above all else."
As for Qing Xiuxiu, one of her palms was chopped off, which was not a pity to her.
Her conditions did not allow her to kill Qing Xiuxiu at that time, but Qing Jiujiu suffered so much on her in her previous life that it was still too cheap for her to do it with just one hand.
After Qing Jiujiu came to his senses, he thought of Zhong Xinxin and asked casually: "Xinxin said she was going to collect herbs two months ago, has she not come back yet?"
After Zhong Bo was released from prison, I heard that he fell seriously ill.
Zhong Xinxin resigned from the court and took her father back to her hometown to recuperate.
Zhong Bo died of old age within two years, so Qing Jiujiu took Zhong Xinxin to Yaowang Valley.
It’s just that usually everyone has their own things to do and they don’t ask too much about their whereabouts.
Xu Bai responded: "I will send someone to look for him."
**
The wooden box was rushed for 800 miles and was delivered to the Da Zhou military camp thousands of miles away in three days.
However, everything that is given to the seasonal banquet needs to go through heavy screening.
And when this wooden box reached the stage of unpacking and verification, something sensational happened.
- It exploded.
The tent where the letter items were delivered was all blown up.
Not only was it bombed, many important military documents were burned.
Shen Mo led a team of people to put out the fire, but the fire could not be extinguished at all.
It also gives people a vague sense of eerie familiarity——
The fire in Haitang Court back then was just like it is now, and it was impossible to extinguish it.
After finally extinguishing it, all the important things in the camp were burned down.
After Ji Shiyan heard this, he glanced at the messy ground with a sinister look.
The wooden box that caused the explosion was scattered not far away, and a severed hand inside was burnt black.
