Chapter 352 Possessiveness
Xie Jingchuan frowned.
Although both of them were men, he had never seen such a happy smile on Jiang Ge's face.
His eyes dropped, feeling a little lost.
Why did he develop such a strange possessiveness towards Jiang Ge?
Why do men develop possessiveness? Is it because he is used to living with Jiang Ge day and night and has already treated him as his own brother?
Ye Hanting felt very calm when he saw this scene. It seemed that Mu Jiangge and Chu Li had a very good relationship before, and he was happy that she was a girl.
He looked at Xie Jingchuan with sympathy. It was quite pitiful. He didn't even know that Mu Jiangge was a woman.
Chu Li and Mu Jiangge got off the carriage together, and the four of them stood together and looked at the house that was no longer habitable.
The outer city is inhabited by poor people. Although their houses are dilapidated, they are their only home.
Chu Li has asked the soldiers to look for clues among the people and see if anyone has seen the arsonist.
A half-grown child in tattered clothes was brought over by the soldiers.
He said with a look of horror: "I, I, I was peeing just now, and I heard them talking about ***, saying that they had to go back quickly to report to ***."
The four of them looked at each other, Chu Yue!
It's her again!
"Someone, bring Chu Yue over here and see what she did!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Not long after, Chu Yue was brought over in handcuffs.
She looked around and saw the angry people.
Although the people were afraid of her identity as a prostitute, they were even more angry about the fact that she was homeless.
They heard that in order to snatch the Crown Prince's military merit, *** set fire to divert attention and make the Crown Prince beg her for reinforcements.
When the people saw that the criminals were in shackles, they became bolder and started to accuse him.
"Give us back our house, give us back our home!"
"You are the dignified General Pingxi, but you are willing to hurt us for military merit. It turns out that you are such a person!"
"What kind of General Pingxi is this? Bah! He doesn't treat the people as human beings!"
Chu Yue looked at the ruins and homeless people in front of her. She had not expected that there were so many people in the outer city.
She had never been here before and only knew that it was sparsely populated.
Even if a fire breaks out, it will not affect the inner city.
Chu Yue looked at the child with a dark face and skinny body, and suddenly her conscience was awakened a little.
Returning to the capital, she was bound to be impeached, so she might as well do something to make up for her mistake.
She looked at Chu Li and said, "I have 100,000 taels of silver in my sleeve. It is all my savings. You can use it to rebuild their house."
Chu Li took out the banknote from Chu Yue's sleeve without hesitation, regardless of whether Chu Yue was sincere or not.
Chu Yue took the initiative to walk towards the prison van.
She looked towards the direction of the Golden Scale Kingdom with empty eyes. Now she really had nothing.
In order to become the empress, she lost her child, lost Mo Yun, lost the people's hearts, and lost everything.
Now no one will say a good word for her, and everyone wishes she would die.
She looked at Chu Li again, fate was so unfair.
Why, as both women, Chu Li could become the crown prince, while she could only be a hostage.
Although her crime was serious, Chu Li's disguise as a man was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.
She really wanted to see if Chu Li could successfully become the queen?
The people heard ***'s words and knew that one hundred thousand taels of silver were enough to rebuild their homes.
Enough for them to live in a better house than the one they have now.
The people's resentment came and went quickly, after all, no one died this time.
No one scolded Chu Yue anymore.
Chu Li opened his purse, took out some change and distributed it to the people, and gave the 100,000 taels of silver to Lao Pang.
The people expressed their gratitude profusely.
Especially to Mu Jiangge, they worship her as a god.
"If it weren't for General Jiang, how many people would have died!"
When Xie Jingchuan heard the people praising Jiang Ge, he also felt proud and the corners of his lips curled up.
When Mu Jiangge was surrounded by the people, Chu Yue was extremely envious.
She suddenly realized that Jiang Ge was Mu Jiangge!
Chu Yue couldn't even laugh anymore.
It turns out that Da Chu not only has a female general like her, but also Mu Jiangge!
Why is she such a failure as a woman?
On the way back, Chu Yue found the treasure bag given to her by the former prime minister in her purse.
When she returns to Beijing, her biggest enemy will be Emperor Qingyuan. Now she can open this secret bag.
Chu Li took a quick look and closed it, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
Then she returned to the tent.
The war was finally over, and her body and nerves relaxed.
Lying on the bed, she suddenly thought of Pei Ye, who was still in the Sky Prison, in front of Emperor Qingyuan.
If Emperor Qingyuan wanted to deal with him or even kill him, it would be easy.
We have to set off as soon as possible to rescue Pei Ye.
......
The next morning, Ye Hanting came to find Chu Li. Chu Li was extremely tired and was still sleeping.
Ye Hanting sat by the bed and tucked in the quilt for her. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Chu Li mutter, "Pei Ye, run, run..."
She seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, with beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Chu Li, he's still alive!" Ye Hanting held her hand, and Chu Li woke up.
She sat up and realized that she was having a nightmare.
It is true that what you think about during the day you will dream about at night. She actually dreamed that Pei Ye was secretly executed by people sent by Emperor Qingyuan.
Ye Hanting suppressed his discomfort and asked, "Are you worried about his safety?"
Chu Li nodded, "After all, he was imprisoned because of me, no, because of the Great Chu Army."
Ye Hanting wiped her forehead with a handkerchief and said, "It's okay. He has the Queen Mother as his backer. He won't die."
Chu Li thought about it and agreed. Pei Ye was as tenacious as weeds, so he would be fine.
Ye Hanting saw that Chu Li was only concerned about Pei Ye, so he asked, "When I was in Jiangnan, did you ever care about my safety?"
Chu Li met his burning eyes with a twinkling look, "Sir, you are so powerful, I don't need to worry."
Ye Hanting poked her between the eyebrows and said, "You little heartless girl, I worry about you every day in vain."
Chu Li touched his forehead and said, "You are very predictable and always think carefully before doing anything. Pei Ye is impulsive and different."
Ye Hanting approached her, his tone softened as he looked at her, "But, I almost died in Jiangnan."
Chu Li asked in horror: "What happened?"
Ye Hanting pretended to be pitiful, "Sun Lin's case was deliberately arranged by Emperor Qingyuan. He wanted to kill me and take his place. Because I knew too many of Emperor Qingyuan's secrets, Emperor Qingyuan also wanted to use Sun Lin to get rid of me, so I was assassinated."
Chu Li looked him up and down nervously, "Where are you hurt?"
Ye Hanting held her hand and brought it to his chest, "Here."
"Let me see." The heart is no small matter, and Chu Li became even more nervous.
