Chapter 293 The Warmth Is Gone

Midnight in."Master..." Mingye walked in, bowing his head. He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yuge quickly, thinking to himself: "Master finished so quickly...""Go and fetch it!" Ye Wuhuan merely glanc..."Luolan! Luolan!" Xiao Yuge held Luolan's broken body, tears streaming down her face, calling out to her as much as she could. But Luolan wouldn't open her eyes and look at her like she used to.

Chu Tian felt a surge of guilt in his heart, wanting to step forward, but after taking just one step, he stopped again. He could only stare blankly at the blood-red scene. That was his child!

It seemed even heaven itself felt this was too cruel, and at this moment, a heavy rain began to pour. The torrential downpour washed over the blood on the ground, but it couldn't wash away the sickening stench of it!

"Ah!" Xiao Yuge roared to the heavens, rain beating wildly against her face. She could no longer tell if it was rain or tears on her cheeks. She deeply regretted, why didn't she come sooner If she had arrived earlier, would Lou Lan not have died

"Girl!" Chu Tianqi came to his senses and tried to comfort her.

"Get out of here!" Xiao Yuge put down Loulan, slowly stood up, and looked at him with eyes full of resentment: "She loved you so much, she's lost her home, why Why did you kill her The child in her womb was also yours, you even killed your own child! Are you still human!"

"Ge'er, I..." Chu Tianqi hadn't expected that a seemingly ordinary engagement would turn out like this. Although he didn't love Loulan, he was still willing to take responsibility for the child, but he never imagined it would end up like this.

"You killed her whole family and that wasn't enough, you now killed her, not even sparing the child in her womb. How can you be so cruel How can you!" Xiao Yuge clenched her fists, if it weren't for the last shred of reason tearing at her, she would have killed him!

At this time, Xiao Zhan walked out from inside, and Xiao Yufu also helped the frightened Mrs. Xiao walk out. The cruel scene before them also shocked them!

"Ge'er!" When Xiao Fu saw Xiao Yuge covered in blood, she was also frightened and made a move to go towards her.

"Mother, don't go!" Xiao Yufu beside her tightly held onto her, looking at Ge'er who was so heartbroken, the corner of her lips curled up with a barely perceptible hint of smugness.

"Sing!"

When Qian Tingxuan rushed over, he saw this scene. Seeing her covered in blood, his heart sank suddenly. He took a stride forward and reached her side, grasping her hand nervously to examine her: "Ge'er, where are you hurt"

Xiao Yu Ge pointed to her chest and then pounded it hard, "It hurts here." Lou Lan was her friend, the only friend she had. But now Lou Lan was dead, dead in her arms, so her heart ached with pain!

"Good girl, it's alright..." Qian Tingxuan held her hand, making sure she wasn't hurt, then pulled her into his arms and kissed her hair softly, comforting her in a gentle voice.

After that, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his cold eyes swept to Chu Tianqi: "Clean up here, and then enter the palace to see the emperor!"

"Yes!" Under his razor-sharp gaze, Chu Tianqi instinctively lowered his head.

"See the King!"

At this time, Xiao Zhan and the others didn't care about the rain anymore, so they hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Prime Minister, such a big thing happened at your mansion, are you still thinking about how to explain it to the Emperor later" After speaking, he picked up Xiao Yuge and walked away.

"I'm going to take Loulan with me. I can't leave her here by herself..." Xiao Yuge jumped out of his arms. She couldn't leave Loulan here, she had to give her a proper burial.

"Ming Yang, take her away," Qian Ting Xuan ordered Ming Yang to take Lou Lan's body away.

"Yes!"

Outside the city.

The rain continued to fall heavily. Gazing at the fresh mound of earth before him, Xiao Yuge knelt there, unwilling to rise for a long time. She couldn't believe that Loulan, who had been laughing and talking with her just days ago, was now buried beneath this pile of yellow soil. How fragile life was!

They had once made an agreement: after everything was settled, they would set off to travel the world, helping the weak and fighting injustice. But it all turned into a dream.

She didn't cry, she just silently held a handful of yellow soil, pressing it down again and again. Her mind was filled with memories of the two of them, her heart felt like it was being cut by a blunt knife, inch by inch, pain flowing out from the wounds, scattering sadness all over the ground.

"Ge'er, don't do this. I know you're heartbroken. If Miss Xu were to have a spirit in heaven and saw you like this, she wouldn't be at peace." Qian Tingxuan knelt down in front of her, grasping her muddy little hand. He was very worried about her. If she cried it out loud, and cried until she was done crying, then maybe she would feel better. But the more she did this, the more it proved that the sadness in her heart couldn't be released. She would collapse!

"If I had arrived sooner, would she still be alive If I had been there these past few days to keep her company and listen to her talk about what was on her mind, would things have turned out differently If only I..."

Qiantingxuan hugged her tightly, he wouldn't let her blame herself like this, wouldn't allow her to take all the responsibility onto herself: "Xiaoge'er, this isn't your fault!"

Xiao Yu Ge extended his trembling hands: "I said I would protect her, but she died right in front of me. I couldn't protect her, I couldn't save her, I'm so useless..."

"If I hadn't taken my brother to meet her, she wouldn't have known my brother, and she wouldn't have died. It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Xiao Yuge buried herself in Qian Tingxuan's shoulder and cried loudly.

She finally cried, and Qian Tingxuan secretly let out a sigh of relief. But her tears caused him pain too. He had said that he would make anyone who made her cry bleed!

"Little Song, I remember you saying that their wedding day was three days from now. Why would it be suddenly moved up Was there something wrong in between" Qian Tingxuan understood her and knew how to stop her tears.

As expected, Xiao Yu Ge stopped crying the moment she heard this. The arranged date was supposed to be three days from now, so why had it been moved up to today Could someone be secretly manipulating all of this

Tears welled in her eyes, but they were quickly replaced by a cold, hard glint. She stood before Lou Lan's tombstone and swore, "Lou Lan, rest assured, I will personally send the one who killed you to join you!"

After that, she ignored Qian Tingxuan's obstruction and returned to Ruyifang, instructing Feng Yanniang to send out a message, making sure to find out why Lou Lan had brought forward the wedding date.

On the day when the adopted son of the Xiangfu took a concubine, blood stained the Xiangfu. This matter spread more and more widely, becoming a legend. Even unknown to whom, the fact that Chu Tianqi was the murderer who destroyed the entire Yujian Mountain Villa was brought before the emperor. The emperor ordered an investigation into the matter, but it finally ended with the words "insufficient evidence." (In fact, the prince was the real culprit. Since it involved the prince, the emperor would naturally not investigate further. The heir apparent is a withered thing, if the prince loses his virtue and is replaced, the entire country will be in turmoil.)

Chu Tianqi ultimately still killed someone. According to the emperor's words, although there were extenuating circumstances, national law did not allow for leniency. Therefore, Chu Tianqi was stripped of his position and given a hundred lashes.elf!" Qian Tingxuan had enough confidence in Xiao Yuge's skills."That's where the princess is..." Mingyang thought: Could it be that Master would really let the princess stay there alone Has their rel...
