Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 315 Separation in Life and Death

He came to confront Huineng, and he told stories all night long. Then, when no one expected it, he passed away quietly.

Luo Xiaoran felt like her brain was about to explode. Chen Ji, who had endured more information about "modern times" and "time travel" than her, was not much better off.

"Do you believe what Huineng said?" Luo Xiaoran took her hand off Huineng's carotid artery and looked up at Chen Ji.

Chen Ji's hand was still on Huineng's pulse, his eyes were dull, as if he was suddenly awakened by Luo Xiaoran's words. He suddenly turned his gaze to her and murmured:

"He is using his death to make me believe."

Seeing Chen Ji’s red eyes, Luo Xiaoran opened her mouth and wanted to say something to comfort him, but in the end she said nothing.

Huineng's face was gray and thin. Luo Xiaoran's eyes flickered, but she finally looked away.

“Whether what Huineng said is true or not, the deaths of Niu Dan and Uncle Li are closely related to Chen Lingyi!

Niu Dan died so tragically, she had to pay with her own life!"

Hearing Luo Xiaoran's words, Chen Ji's sharp eyebrows suddenly frowned. He grabbed Luo Xiaoran's wrist and warned in a deep voice:

"Don't act rashly. You can't even see Chen Lingyi, let alone kill her!"

After saying this, as if realizing his own impoliteness, Chen Ji loosened his hand that was covering Luo Xiaoran's wrist. When he saw the red mark on her fair skin, a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.

He didn't control his strength well.

"A bloody incident happened in Prince Yan's Mansion. My anger will be more than yours, not less!

But now that border trade has just been established, there are many complicated affairs to deal with, and this is when we need the support of the court.

If Chen Lingyi died in the northern border at this time, it would become an excuse for those people in Kyoto to criticize her, and the long-awaited stability of the border by many northern people would most likely be shattered. "

Chen Ji patiently explained to Luo Xiaoran why Chen Lingyi could not die now. Luo Xiaoran was not an unreasonable person. On the contrary, having experienced the turmoil of the end of the world, she wanted the people to have peace more than anyone else.

"I lost my mind. Now that I know the inside story, I won't act rashly.

At worst, I can follow you to Kyoto, and Chen Lingyi will die in Kyoto. That should be fine, right? "

Chen Ji: …

"Chen Lingyi is usually either in the palace or in the Princess's residence. Whenever she goes out, she is accompanied by dozens of guards who are skilled in martial arts, and there is no telling how many more guards are there in secret.

Her personal maid Zhu Yan was a hidden master. An Luhai was silenced by her. I'm sure you saw how skillfully she did it."

Luo Xiaoran choked. An Luhai was killed with a single knife strike. The person who did it was quick, accurate and ruthless. Unexpectedly, it was the inconspicuous maidservant beside Chen Lingyi.

"The most important thing is, now that you are in Hexi Village with your family, facing Chen Lingyi directly, even if you don't consider your own safety, are you sure you can protect everyone in your Luo Mansion?"

Luo Xiaoran was silent.

Seeing Luo Xiaoran calm down, Chen Ji also breathed a sigh of relief, and a complex look flashed in his deep pupils.

"We have been here all night. The coroner from Prince Yan's Mansion must have examined the bodies of Niu Dan and Li Heng overnight. Do you want to take Niu Dan's body back to Hexi Village... for burial?"

Luo Xiaoran's fingers trembled, and after a long silence, she raised her red eyes and said to Chen Ji in a resounding voice: "Okay!

Luo Xiaoran followed Chen Ji back to Prince Yan's Mansion. Chen Xingchen was very happy to see her back.

"Sister! Sister! Chen'er couldn't find grandpa yesterday, and you were gone when he came back. Chen'er thought you were gone!"

Chen Xingchen threw himself into Luo Xiaoran's arms and shouted happily.

Luo Xiaoran forced herself to cheer up, pretending nothing had happened, and touched Chen Xingchen's little head.

"My sister hasn't left yet, but she's planning to leave, so she came over to say goodbye to Chen'er."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingchen's face immediately fell, and his big eyes were full of reluctance to leave Luo Xiaoran, but he still said to Luo Xiaoran very considerately:

"Sister, go ahead! Don't worry, Chen'er is living well with Uncle, sister, don't worry about Chen'er.

Chener will study hard, eat well and sleep well.

Chen'er is also learning martial arts from his uncle. When Chen'er grows up, he can protect his sister!

Uncle bought a lot of toys for Chener. Chener wants to give some to brother Niudan. Sister, can you help me bring them to him?

And grandpa, my sister is about to leave, but he hasn’t come back yet!

I looked for him for a long time yesterday but couldn't find him, so I fell asleep.

Chen'er really can't figure out where grandpa is hiding. Can't I just admit defeat in the game of hide-and-seek?

Oh, he must have gone out to drink secretly!

Chen'er remembered his sister saying that men can drink alcohol but cannot be alcoholics.

Grandpa has been drinking more and more recently, a bit like what my sister said about alcoholism. When Chen'er finds him, I must tell him to drink less and take care of his health..."

Perhaps because he knew they were about to part, Chen Xingchen kept chattering away.

Luo Xiaoran raised the corners of her mouth and looked at him as he spoke, the sadness and sorrow in her heart were beyond words.

Later on, Luo Xiaoran could no longer hear clearly what Chen Xingchen was saying. She only knew that Chen Xingchen didn't know that his grandfather and brother Niu Dan had left this world.

But her sister wanted to teach him the lesson of "death".

When she made this decision, Luo Xiaoran felt that her heart was so cruel!

"Separation in life" and "Separation in death", the two major separation topics in life, were all arranged by her for Chen'er!

Chen'er had already experienced the feeling of "separation" when she left him at Prince Yan's Mansion and took Niu Dan back to Hexi Village.

Today, she also wants Chen'er to understand what "death separation" means.

How cruel! Luo Xiaoran smiled bitterly.

Squatting down to be at eye level with Chen Xingchen, Luo Xiaoran looked at him seriously, earnestly, and sadly, trying her best not to let her voice choke, and said word by word:

"Chen'er, Uncle Li won't come back, you can't find him!"

Perhaps she still couldn't really make up her mind, Luo Xiaoran's words were still implicit.

Chen Xingchen was stunned, as if he didn't hear clearly or didn't understand what Luo Xiaoran meant. He spoke hesitantly:

"Sister, Chen'er didn't understand."

"Uncle Li went to a very far place, we will never see him again!"

Luo Xiaoran still couldn't bear to suddenly throw the word "death" directly at the five-year-old child in front of her. She chose to still use a euphemistic way to announce Li Heng's death to Chen Xingchen.

But Chen Xingchen is not an ordinary child. At such a young age, he has already experienced family annihilation and assassination.

This time he understood Luo Xiaoran's meaning almost immediately. His two big eyes were like two springs, and they were filled with tears.
