Chapter 224 Abnormal
Chapter 224 Abnormal
The emperor glanced at the people around him and waved to Chu Ci, "The news that Prince Rui is poisoned cannot be exposed. Many doctors have examined him, but none of them can find the cause. I want you to go and take a look."
"Secretly, it's best if no one knows."
Chu Ci fell silent. She didn't want to interfere in Cang Mo's affairs now, but he was poisoned and if no one could detoxify him, he would die.
She didn't want anything to do with him now, but she wasn't to the point of wanting him dead.
Chu Ci was conflicted and lowered his head in thought for a long time.
When the emperor saw the struggle on Chu Ci's face, he knew what Chu Ci meant. She was hesitant.
It seemed that Chu Ci had been moved. The emperor continued to persuade her, "Xiao Ci, I know what happened during this period. Prince Rui is sorry for you, but you must know that sometimes the truth is false and sometimes the false is true."
"Even if we don't consider Prince Rui's face this time, we should consider the face of the 500,000 troops on the border. We have already suffered a defeat. If word gets out that Prince Rui is half dead, no one knows how many of the 500,000 troops will be left."
When Chu Ci heard the number of 500,000 people, he finally lowered his head. Yes, there must be so many broken families behind these 500,000 people.
"Okay, I'll get ready right away and leave tonight." Chu Ci agreed. "I can't say what the outcome will be, but I can guarantee that I'll do my best."
When the emperor heard Chu Ci's agreement, he finally let out the breath he had been holding. "These ten secret guards beside me are at your disposal. Remember, you must help me stabilize the border. Otherwise, the people's decades of peace and stability will come to an end."
The emperor had said this, and it would be inappropriate for her to be unwilling. She could only nod and agree, "But I want a promise from the emperor, the premise is that this matter has nothing to do with state affairs."
The emperor was silent. Imagining Chu Ci's coldness towards Prince Rui during this period, he could guess what she was trying to do. She wanted a double guarantee just for that matter.
But, by then, would Prince Rui be able to agree? However, there are still variables.
The emperor thought for a long time, "Okay, but I have something to say upfront. Chaoyang, I will definitely hand over the throne to Cang Mo in the future. No matter what you want to ask for, remember to think it through and don't do anything that you will regret."
Chu Ci nodded.
The emperor left his secret guards behind and stayed with his guards. Chu Ci closed his eyes and thought about the news about the border during this period. He suddenly felt that the burden on his back had become much heavier.
Chu Ci thought about it, and after making a decision, she called the maids outside in, "Come in."
After they came in, Chu Ci said to Qiuyue, "Qiuyue, Mingyue, Wuming, all of you change into men's clothes and leave with me. By the way, pack some clothes for a change of clothes."
Chu Ci looked at Lele, the only one left. She was still worried if she were to be left here alone, but Lele was in good health. "Lele, come with me too. Remember to follow my instructions."
After giving them the instructions, Chu Ci wrote a note on the table, tied it to the pigeon's feet, and then loosened his hands. The pigeon flew away directly!
Soon, all of them appeared in front of Chu Ci in men's clothes. Chu Ci nodded with satisfaction. As expected, they were all handsome and heroic.
Chu Ci got on the carriage that the emperor had prepared in advance. The horse never stopped along the way and Chu Ci traveled for seven days and seven nights.
Just when Chu Ci felt like he was about to fall apart, the voice he had always dreamed of hearing finally rang out from outside the carriage, "County Lady, we're here. The camp is just ahead."
Chu Ci lifted the curtain from the carriage and what caught his eye was the simple gate not far away. Two soldiers were standing on both sides of the gate, yawning as if they had not woken up from their nap, but it was already afternoon.
This camp was completely different from Chu Ci's impression. They should have been full of energy and standing straighter than the crooked tree next to them.
Chu Ci got off the carriage and personally led his men to the camp.
Arriving at the camp gate, Chu Ci walked straight in, but was stopped by the gatekeeper, "Stop, what are you doing? Do you know where this is? How dare you go in?"
Chu Ci turned and looked at the emperor's men, asking them with his eyes whether the emperor had given them any token.
One of them walked directly in front of Chu Ci, bent down slightly, and explained in a low voice, "The master said that you have the prince's token on you."
If this person had not mentioned it, Chu Ci would have forgotten about it. He rummaged through the man's bag for a long time before he found the token of King Rui and threw it to the soldier guarding the gate.
"We are the people around King Rui."
She thought about King Rui's token. Normally, it would be no problem for them to go in and look for someone.
However, the problem lies in the abnormality.
Chu Ci threw the token to them and was about to step in when the two men unexpectedly showed their weapons. "Stop! Did I tell you to come in? You haven't been questioned yet?"
"First, tell me why you're here. What's your purpose? Also, tell me your identities. If you tell me a lie, I'll arrest you all."
Chu Ci looked at the emperor's people curiously, "Can they ask such a private question?"
The Emperor's men shook their heads, "Under normal circumstances, this is impossible."
Chu Ci understood that they were not normal.
She looked at the soldier guarding the gate suspiciously, took back the token, and rushed straight in.
Unexpectedly, the soldier was so bold that he drew out his sword and put it on Chu Ci's neck. No one had expected this scene.
"How dare you barge in? I'll see how stubborn you are." Then, the gatekeeper shouted loudly into the camp, "Hurry up, someone is trying to break into the camp."
In the blink of an eye, a large number of soldiers came out of the camp and surrounded the dozens of them.
Chu Ci realized that something was wrong and couldn't help but look at the soldier guarding the gate twice.
The guard pointed at Chu Ci and the others and started shouting, "There are dozens of them trying to break into the camp. They must be sent by the enemy. Capture them quickly, regardless of life or death."
Normally, a gatekeeper would not give such an order, but strangely, he did. What's even stranger is that some people actually wanted to come up and catch them. They were all gentle, while others wanted to take direct action.
Chu Ci was about to scold when a white figure passed by in the distance. She quickly called out, "Lin Feng."
