Chapter 278 The traitor will never die
The Empress was completely drained of strength, limp and lifeless! The tragic scene at the entrance of Prince Rui's residence was just like before!
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess slumped into their armchairs. Two lines of tears streamed down the Crown Princess's face. She knew her father would never return! Her Ke family was finished!
Only now did the Crown Prince realize that Feng Chenyi was neither a reckless fool nor an ignorant simpleton! He was a behemoth lurking in the darkness! He was the formidable enemy he could not afford to ignore!
At the Imperial Uncle's residence, Uncle Bu looked at the assassins who had returned in a disheveled state. They were all injured and terrified, and even a simple question made them tremble.
He looked at the group of less than two hundred people in front of him, felt a sharp pain in his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood!
Two...two thousand people! More than two thousand people! And...that's all that's left. This is what he painstakingly built up over so many years! Now there's almost nothing left!
At daybreak, Jiang Yuanyi led a group of people to the Prince Rui's residence. Seeing the bloodstains stretching for kilometers, Jiang Yuanyi's face turned extremely pale. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down when he saw Zhai Yun.
The masked Yan Nanheng helped Feng Chenyi into the Prince Rui's mansion. Jiang Yuanyi directed the soldiers to carry the injured Qi Nuo, Sheng Er and others into the mansion, and then ordered people to find the best doctor in the city!
Lou Yexue and his maids suddenly became weak. Except for Lou Yexue, Ruan Ziyan and the other maids all vomited blood.
Zhai Yun rushed forward to check: "What happened? They don't have any external injuries."
Lou Yexue caught up with Zhai Yun, and when he spoke, blood also spilled from the corner of his mouth. He said, "It's nothing, just a backlash!"
"Backlash?" Zhai Yun was puzzled. It was one thing for Lou Yexue to suffer a backlash for breaking the seal that he himself had passed on to him in the future, but why did his maid also suffer a backlash!
At this moment, a lively and agile girl dressed in light green stepped forward. She removed her veil, revealing an innocent smile on her face. Her eyebrows were curved, her brows were like distant mountains, and her small face was very eye-catching.
She said, "That's because the city lord and the people in the city are not allowed to interfere in human affairs; if they do, they will naturally pay a price!"
She had barely finished speaking when Lou Yexue's indifferent voice snapped, "Xiao Nian!"
Xiao Nian immediately lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
Xiao Nian and what Xiao Nian said left Zhai Yun with questions, but at this moment, none of these things were the most important; what mattered was cleaning up the mess!
“Young Master Lou, as you can see, there’s no one left in Prince Rui’s mansion now. You and your men are injured. If you don’t mind, you can find a place to settle down in the mansion. I still have many things to do!” After Zhai Yun finished speaking, she paid no more attention to them.
Zhai Yun walked towards the mountain of corpses, searching through the bodies of her own people. She was the only one left in the Prince Rui's mansion who could move, and she didn't want these people who had risked their lives for her to be disposed of so casually.
Lou Yexue's maid was furious upon hearing Zhai Yun's words! They had risked the pain of a backlash to help her, and not only was she ungrateful, she had also abandoned them! She indignantly said, "City Lord, you shouldn't have meddled in this!"
Ruan Ziyan tugged at the maid who was speaking, signaling her to stop!
Xiao Nian was very unhappy to hear this, and put her hands on her hips to retort, "Are you dead? You're not dead! Look at all these corpses on the ground! Master Yun is very busy, okay? I know the Prince Rui's mansion well, I'll take care of you!"
Xiao Nian turned to Lou Yexue and smiled ingratiatingly, "Master, please come with me, Xiao Nian will take you to settle in."
Lou Yexue glanced at Zhai Yun, who was pulling a corpse dressed in the uniform of a guard from under several other corpses. The dull pain in his chest and the metallic taste in his throat made him give up the idea of staying!
It took Zhai Yun three hours to find all the bodies of her people. They were neatly arranged in the front yard of the Prince Rui's mansion, while the bodies at the gate were taken away in piles by carriages.
Jiang Yuanyi said he would send the body to the outskirts to be burned. The blood river in front of the Prince Rui's Mansion stretched for several kilometers, and it would take them two or three days to completely clean up the bloodstains!
Zhai Yun went to see the injured Qi Nuo, the second provincial doctor, and the other three. Their wounds had been bandaged by the doctor, but they were still unconscious. "Use the best medicine, and you doctors will take turns watching over them 24 hours a day! If anything happens to them, you can all go and die with them!"
Fearing they wouldn't take good care of her, Zhai Yun was just threatening them, but so far it's the best way.
The doctors, remembering the countless corpses they had seen on their way here, were so terrified they wet themselves and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Yes, sir! Yes, sir!"
When Zhai Yun returned to Yunchen Pavilion to visit Feng Chenyi, Feng Chenyi had already woken up. He had changed his clothes and was preparing to go out!
When he saw Zhai Yun, a smile appeared on his bloodless face. He turned around, rummaged through the wardrobe, pulled out Zhai Yun's clothes, and handed them to her: "Change your clothes first, this outfit is uncomfortable."
Zhai Yun's clothes were soaked in blood, which congealed on the fabric, making the clothes stiff. At this moment, the Prince Rui's mansion was short-handed, so although she was very dirty, it was unlikely that she could take a bath!
When Zhai Yun changed her clothes and stepped out from behind the screen, Feng Chenyi was covering his mouth and trying to suppress a cough. When he saw Zhai Yun come out, he pretended to be nonchalant.
Seeing Zhai Yun's worried look, he immediately explained, "The wound has been bandaged. After drinking so much of your blood, I'm full of strength now."
Zhai Yun knew he was lying. He had been stabbed so many times. Although Zhai Yun's blood had brought him back to consciousness quickly, the knife wounds on his body were still very painful.
Feng Chenyi covered his lips, took heavy steps to Zhai Yun, gently put his arm around Zhai Yun who was staring at him intently with tears welling up in her eyes, and whispered, "Isn't everything alright now? After this battle, those people won't dare to make any rash moves again!"
Feng Chenyi wasn't good at deceiving Zhai Yun. He gently stroked Zhai Yun's hair. Zhai Yun knew in her heart that they still had people, although not many left, but they would come back again.
Knowing they couldn't kill Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi, they might be targeting the Dali Temple. If they could rescue Ke Ci, they could still gather a squad of People's Liberation Army soldiers in the capital!
This is why Feng Chenyi, despite being seriously injured, still struggled to get up!
Zhai Yun was worried about Feng Chenyi going alone, so she instructed Yan Nanheng, who had been wearing a mask, to guard Qi Nuo and the others. Now, the Prince Rui's mansion was an empty mansion, with only Jiang Yuanyi leading a group of people guarding the house where Qi Nuo and the others were recuperating.
When Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi left the mansion, they saw Wei Zi and Rui Han hiding in the shadows. When they saw that Feng Chenyi was alright, Wei Zi shed tears, and Rui Han's eyes were full of relief.
He also bears responsibility for Feng Chenyi's risky actions. If something really happened to Feng Chenyi, he wouldn't even dare to die!
The area in front of the Dali Temple was still packed with people, and Duan Yi'an stood at the entrance.
