Chapter 261 Arriving in Kyoto
Chapter 261 Arriving in Kyoto
The next day,
At dawn, people passing by the governor's residence slowly gathered in a circle and surrounded Bai Jinzhi to watch.
Black Hawk stood aside, looking at these people, feeling very annoyed. He deliberately drew out half of his sword, looking very aggressive.
The onlookers were frightened and immediately retreated.
Bai Jinzhi's peach blossom eyes showed fatigue. He turned his head to look at Hei Ying and shook his head helplessly.
Black Hawk half-knelt, "Master, it's dawn, please get up."
Bai Jinzhi followed Black Hawk's men and stood up, but he almost fell. Black Hawk quickly supported him. He had been kneeling for a whole night. Even a martial artist could not withstand such torture.
After entering the palace, everyone ignored the princess.
Black Hawk was a little angry. "These people are always changing their attitude according to the situation. Yesterday, Her Highness said she would remove your title of Princess, and today they are so rude!"
Bai Jinzhi didn't care. He smiled faintly, "Life like this will get worse when I return to Kyoto. You can't stand this? What are you going to do in the future?"
After hearing this, Black Hawk lowered his head and continued to support Bai Jinzhi as they walked towards the yard.
After entering the yard, Black Hawk took out the ointment and applied it to Bai Jinzhi's knees, which had already turned black and purple.
As Black Hawk applied the medicine, he said, "By the way, my Lord, yesterday, Her Highness the Crown Princess ordered someone to dig out Young Master Xiao's eyes."
Bai Jinzhi was holding the cup of tea to his lips when he heard these words. His eyes widened in shock and the cup fell to the ground and shattered...
Bai Jinzhi, "Is this... true? Did they really dig it up?"
Black Hawk nodded, "Her Highness was afraid that Jiuyi would show favoritism, so she specially sent a young guard to supervise the execution."
Bai Jinzhi lowered his brows, staring at a spot on the table, his fingers clenched slightly, "Your Highness has...really changed."
After applying the medicine to him, Black Hawk stood up, his face excited, "If Her Highness is not poisoned, then... then she has truly changed her heart!"
Bai Jinzhi asked, "Have anyone from Kyoto been sent to protect A Zi and A Hua?"
Black Hawk cupped his fists and said, "Master, I've already sent word that Ah Zi and Ah Hua will be kept safe. I just don't know...if it's like Ah Zhen said, that he himself can't diagnose it."
Bai Jinzhi stood up, and Black Eagle hurried forward to help him change his clothes. "Ah Zhen is Qing Mu's senior disciple. If he can't find out, then His Highness may not have been poisoned. What tricks did my brother use..."
.........
In Xiao Qingyue's room, he woke up and touched his eyes, but only felt gauze, and the world was dark.
Then he heard Zhu Qing's voice, "Master, you're awake!"
Xiao Qingyue stood up and Zhu Qing hurried to help her.
Xiao Qingyue, "My eyes... were taken away..."
Zhu Qing cried all night, and now she couldn't help crying, "Hmm..."
Xiao Qingyue could hear the change in Zhu Qing's tone, guessing that this guy must have been crying for him. He groped for his hand and patted it to comfort him, "It's okay, don't be sad for me. Has His Highness sent anyone to the prison to treat my mother?"
Zhu Qing nodded. "He went. The general has taken medicine. He suffered serious internal injuries. He was stabbed in the chest. Although the wound was not serious, his armor was damaged... If it weren't for Bai Mohan's personal action, no one at the scene could have hurt the general."
Xiao Qingyue lowered her head, "I'm glad that mother is alright..."
Zhu Qing was very sad, his voice was a little angry and choked with sobs, "That demon king almost killed the general and took the young master's eyes. Zhu Qing will kill him in the future to avenge the young master and the general!"
Hearing him say this, Xiao Qingyue shook her head, "I am a miserable person... You don't need to seek revenge for me. When we return to Kyoto, if we can survive this disaster and my mother is fine, I will persuade her to retire and we will leave Kyoto and live a good life..."
Zhu Qing nodded and said, "Sir... I will help you wash up. It's almost time to leave."
Xiao Qingyue nodded...
After washing up, she only heard Shan'er calling brother from afar. But after a while, Shan'er suddenly hugged Xiao Qingyue's legs. It was so sudden that Xiao Qingyue was pushed and almost fell backwards.
Zhu Qing quickly stepped forward to support Xiao Qingyue, blaming Shan'er a little, "Shan'er, now that the master can't see you, you must never act so recklessly again."
Shan'er looked up and saw that Xiao Qingyue's eyes were covered with white gauze, and there was blood in them. He pursed his lips... and couldn't help but cried out, "Wow..."
Hearing Shan'er crying, Xiao Qingyue became anxious and quickly squatted down, holding Shan'er's small body. "Shan'er, don't cry. Even though I have no eyes, I can still protect you. From today on, you will live with me."
Shan'er hugged Xiao Qingyue and cried, "Shan'er understands, brother, let's go back to Yue Country. Shan'er is afraid of this place, afraid of Her Highness the Princess..."
At this moment, Aunt Sun hurriedly looked outside and said, "Shan'er, don't talk nonsense. Don't talk about Her Highness the Princess casually."
Zhu Qing was a little angry, "Why can't we discuss it? She treats our Xiao family like this. The Xiao family has served the country their whole lives, but they are treated like this!"
At this time, Ah Zhen and Xiao Siying had just walked to the door when they heard Ah Zhen's words. They paused and then walked in.
When Xiao Siying saw Xiao Qingyue's eyes, tears immediately flowed out. She took a few steps forward, "Cousin..."
Then, he slapped himself twice in regret. "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have drunk the fruit wine that the maid brought yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen asleep all night. If I were here, I would have stopped this at all costs!"
Last night, Bai Mohan knew that Xiao Siying was very difficult to deal with, and was afraid that she would ruin his plan, so he ordered someone to knock her out early.
Xiao Qingyue hurriedly took two steps forward, but nearly tripped over the table. "Siying, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't go to His Highness or Lord Bai. Listen to my brother."
Xiao Siying wiped her tears and sobbed continuously.
Ah Zhen sighed and placed the tray on the table. "Mr. Xiao, let me check your eyes."
Xiao Qingyue smiled faintly and was supported by Zhu Qing to sit down. "Thank you, doctor."
Ah Zhen turned around and looked at everyone in the room, "You all should go out first."
Everyone looked at each other, unwilling to leave.
Xiao Qingyue, "Nothing, everyone go out."
Only Zhu Qing was left in the room. Ah Zhen stepped forward and removed the gauze, only to see Xiao Qingyue with her eyes closed, her eyes covered in blood.
Ah Zhen was stunned, and the corner of his mouth twitched... This is really fake...
Zhu Qing saw his son's eyes were full of blood and was extremely anxious, "Dr. Ah Zhen, what happened to my son's eyes?"
Ah Zhen cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Xiao is seriously injured. Don't open your eyes."
He then took out gauze and cleaned Xiao Qingyue's eyes. He then took out a silver needle and pierced the acupuncture point beside his eye. "Jiuyi didn't dig out your eyes, but you were indeed blinded. You will need to wear a white gauze to cover your eyes in the future."
Xiao Qingyue nodded slightly, "Thank you, Doctor. I... can't feel any pain at all. Your medicine is so powerful, I wonder if it can..."
Ah Zhen knew what he was going to say. He put away the silver needle and asked, "Do you want me to go check on your mother?"
Xiao Qingyue nodded...
Ah Zhen, "We will be leaving soon. I will definitely find a chance to treat the old general. You don't need to worry. Don't provoke Lord Bai again in the near future."
Hearing Bai Mohan, Xiao Qingyue was stunned, but did not say anything, just bit her thin lips slightly.
Zhu Qing said quickly, "Since Her Royal Highness is not poisoned, she must have changed her heart... Poor young master... He has such a miserable life."
Seeing his sad expression, Ah Zhen sighed, "Don't blame Ah Yun. Although I couldn't diagnose that Ah Yun was poisoned, it might be because my medical skills are not good enough. My junior sister Ah Zi is the best at using poison. When we return to Kyoto, we will know everything."
It was as if she had heard hope. Even though her eyes had been gouged out by her beloved to please Chongjun, she couldn't help but feel excited and held onto hope, "Really..."
Zhu Qing looked very disappointed, "Sir! No matter what, your eyes have been taken away by His Highness' order. This is a fact."
Ah Zhen glanced at the agitated Zhu Qing and said, "Anyway, don't blame Ah Yun. She's acting very abnormally. There must be something wrong with her. I'll come and change your medicine every day."
After saying that, Ah Zhen picked up his things and left the house.
At this time, people from each courtyard came to urge them to leave.
main hall,
Feng Zhaoyun sat at the top. She was wearing a green cloud gauze robe with a white lining embroidered with jasmine patterns. She had a golden headdress on her head and looked very beautiful.
Bai Mohan sat beside her, his lavender robe making him look somewhat demonic, exactly like the demon king described by Zhu Qing. Like Feng Zhaoyun, he also had his hair tied up with a golden hairpin.
Everyone had arrived in the main hall. When Xiao Qingyue was supported and walked in, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Even though he had known it for a long time, Bai Jinzhi still looked a little surprised, but quickly retracted his gaze and stopped looking at him.
Seeing her cousin in such a miserable state, Xiao Siying couldn't help herself and was about to step forward, but was stopped by General Xue, who shook his head at her, signaling her not to be impulsive.
Today, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess can punish even the Crown Princess for the sake of the Concubine, let alone others.
Xiao Qingyue bowed in the direction of Feng Zhaoyun and said, "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness. I am late, Your Highness, please forgive me."
Seeing him like this, Bai Mohan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, became interested, and looked at Xiao Qingyue carefully.
Feng Zhaoyun's expression was calm, as if he didn't care at all. He only frowned slightly, "Considering that you were punished yesterday, don't do it again. Now that we're all here, let's go."
Everyone stood up and knelt, "Yes."
Everyone boarded the carriages, and the procession was very long and set off in a grand procession. The officials escorted them to the city gate and knelt down, saying, "Your Highness, we respectfully send you off."
After the team had gone far away, everyone stood up, wiped the sweat from their heads, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was previously rumored that the princess had been very gentle and virtuous since she fell off the cliff, but now she was so cruel and terrifying. They lamented that the rumors were indeed false...
..............
After walking for several days, the team soon arrived at the gate of Kyoto.
At the city gate, Prime Minister Jiang and Duke Feng were there to greet them. Upon seeing the Crown Princess's motorcade, the officials hurriedly saluted, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness."
In the carriage, Feng Zhaoyun and Bai Mohan rode together.
Feng Zhaoyun did not get out of the carriage. Jiuyi was riding beside him. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Bai Mohan's voice, "His Highness said that he has been traveling for many days and is very tired. Please get out of the way."
When Duke Feng heard the voice of his second son, he was obviously stunned. How...how come Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is with Mo Han instead of Jinzhi.
When the convoy entered the city, Duke Feng, Prime Minister Jiang, and others saw Xiao Yushan, tied up and sitting on a horse...
Everyone was stunned and watched the convoy enter the city.
The troops he brought were not allowed to enter the city. After the convoy entered, the officials should have followed immediately, but they all surrounded Duke Feng and started talking.
Prime Minister Jiang stepped forward and asked, "Duke, do you know why General Xiao was kidnapped?"
Duke Feng shook his head. "Don't speculate. General Xiao must have committed a serious crime. We should hurry up and return to the palace to report."
After saying this, everyone got on their horses and carriages and entered the imperial city of Kyoto.
