Before dawn, Bixiu got up to make breakfast. In the blink of an eye, Chu Yunning was already two months pregnant. Chu Yunning's appetite was very weak these days, so he hung on sour plums, which even affected Xiao Jingheng's taste.

Yun Ning was led astray.

For breakfast, she made porridge with cabbage, paired with a bowl of hot and sour cucumbers, sauerkraut that she pickled herself, and cut two salted duck eggs. The saltiness was just right, making it tempting to look at.

Chu Yunning's sense of smell finally recovered. She sniffed hard and slowly sat up with most of her body supported.

"What smells so good?"

"Your Majesty is awake." Bixiu stepped forward with a smile, and while quickly preparing clean water and a basin, she explained: "The pickles were pickled by my slave half a month ago according to my hometown's method."

After saying this, Chu Yunning's eyes suddenly lit up. She couldn't wait to wash up and came to the table. Bi Xiu filled a bowl of vegetable porridge and placed it in front of her.

"Eunuch Mo has just come to send a message, so that the queen does not have to wait for Emperor Huang to come. Urgent documents will be sent before dawn, and many lieutenants have been summoned to the camp."

Bixiu said.

After hearing this, Chu Yunning stopped waiting and began to eat on her own. Maybe the pickled sauerkraut and salted duck eggs were good. She drank two bowls of porridge before putting them down. She couldn't help but praise Bixiu.

It wasn't until noon that Chu Yunning saw Xiao Jingheng, who was tired of traveling, and his face didn't look good.

Usually, something must have happened in this situation.

"Did something happen?" Chu Yunning asked anxiously.

Xiao Jingheng held Chu Yunning's hands with his backhand and comforted her. However, it was not the first day that Chu Yunning and Xiao Jingheng met. He asked directly: "If you have anything to do, you should tell me. Rather than delaying like this, I am more anxious."

.”

Seeing that he could not hide it from Chu Yunning, Xiao Jingheng revealed what he had discovered about the beast army.

Chu Yunning's eyelids twitched, she had a vague feeling of uneasiness, and her eyebrows furrowed;

"Ever since I entered Wencheng, I always felt like something was wrong, but I couldn't find any reason."

Moreover, she has been having nightmares these days, in which many, many people seem to be trapped.

"It's a bit weird. There were too many explosives buried under Wen City, and many people's bodies were gone..."

Mentioning the word "bones", a strange thought flashed in Chu Yunning's mind: "No matter how powerful the explosives are, it's not like the bones of hundreds of thousands of people don't exist, and the explosives are only distributed on a few main roads. Look,

Aren’t those buildings still intact?”

What's more, those people can't all stand on the pile of explosives and wait to be blown up, right?

The power of explosives in this era was far less powerful than modern ones, so she didn't believe in the words "no bones left."

"First send people to search to see how many bones can be found, and then search for the living people to find out if there is anything weird." Chu Yunning said.

This idea happened to coincide with what Xiao Jingheng was thinking. He nodded: "It stands to reason that the bones are indeed piled up, but there are some missing... I will send someone to check it out right now."

Chu Yunning pursed her lips. Mo Fang and Xiao Jingyan, two big perverts, would do nothing good if they got together!

"Are you feeling uncomfortable today?" he asked with concern.

Chu Yunning shook his head. Apart from eating sour food if he liked it, he had no other symptoms. Overall, he was quite well-behaved.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a guard's report came from outside the camp, and Xiao Jingheng immediately said: "Come in first."

After the guard entered the camp, he knelt down on one knee and raised a letter in his hand. Xiao Jingheng took it and looked at it. For just a moment, his face was gloomy and almost dripping with tears. Chu Yunning asked: "What's going on?"

"The Jiang family in the border town was held hostage overnight, resulting in numerous casualties..."

Xiao Jingheng's voice was slightly trembling. He couldn't believe whether the Queen Mother would be able to hold on if the news was known to her.

From the map, it looks like the border town is closest to Yunlan, so it's a bit strange that something happened unexpectedly. If you think about it, the news of Prince Yunlan's death only came out two days ago. Something happened to the Jiang family in such a short period of time.

It will take a few days for the Jiang family to send someone to deliver the letter, which means that when something happens to the Jiang family, Prince Yunlan is not dead yet.

Therefore, there is no possibility that Yunlan is seeking revenge for Prince Yunlan and is causing trouble for the Jiang family.

Xiao Jingheng clutched the letter tightly, with veins popping in his forehead. He had written a letter to General Jiang in private, asking his family to return to Beijing, but General Jiang thought the border town was unstable and wanted to guard it, so he declined his offer.

.

"Grandpa, at his old age, how can he bear to fall into the hands of others?"

Jamel Xiao was very angry.

When Chu Yunning saw this, he didn't know how to comfort him. He whispered: "These people have kidnapped the Jiang family. They must have some conspiracy and are waiting for you to compromise."

compromise?

A flash of coldness flashed across Xiao Jingheng's brows, and he immediately sent someone to investigate thoroughly to find out who secretly abducted the Jiang family and killed so many members of the Jiang family.

He is still not sure who is alive. The corpses of his two uncles and grandfather have not been found. However, the corpses of several children were found at the Jiang family site. They were chopped into pieces and the methods were very cruel.

"I won't even let go of a child!" Xiao Jingheng's anger was about to reach its peak. There were faint red marks on his eyebrows, which made Chu Yunning feel heartbroken. She patted Xiao Jingheng on the shoulder: "Don't be sad yet, save me.

It’s important to get back to the remaining people.”

Then another report came from outside, and Chu Yunning's eyelids suddenly twitched, feeling slightly uneasy.

"Report!"

The guard said loudly: "Your Majesty, someone has sent a letter and a box."

Seeing this, Xiao Jingheng couldn't help it anymore, and he stood up to look at the box outside. It was about half a person tall. The four corners of the box showed a bright red color, which was obviously the color of dried blood.

"Open." Xiao Jingheng ordered.

Following the order, the guard stepped forward and opened the lid of the box, revealing a woman's face. Her body was stained with blood. Her clothes had marks from being whipped, and the blood marks were deep enough to see the bones.

The woman leaned weakly in the box, breathless. She opened her eyes with difficulty, saw Xiao Jingheng, and murmured: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

The woman was about forty years old, and her whole body exuded a strong smell of blood. She reached out to Xiao Jingheng expectantly.

"Second aunt!" Xiao Jingheng shouted, and immediately asked someone to open the box. He covered Chu Yunning's eyes with his other hand: "Aning, leave this to me. You go back first."

Chu Yunning put her hand on the back of Xiao Jingheng's hand and shook her head gently: "It seems that the second aunt's injury is not serious. I am not afraid of this."

Unable to defeat her, Xiao Jingheng had no choice but to let go.

As the guard went to touch the box, Mrs. Jiang Er showed a painful expression on her face and couldn't help shouting.

"You guys move slower." Chu Yunning boldly stepped forward to check, only to find that there were nails of different lengths at the bottom and around the box, and each nail had dense barbs that could penetrate into the skin before moving.

, even the meat will be drawn out.

"Hiss!" Chu Yunning couldn't help but gasped. This was simply too cruel. He could think of such a sinister method.

Mrs. Jiang Er's body was covered with numerous wounds, especially the lower half of her body, which was almost impossible to look at directly.

Chu Yunning quickly took out a pill from her arms and stuffed it into Mrs. Jiang's mouth, and then inserted a silver needle very quickly. Mrs. Jiang fainted, and then someone carefully opened the box.

This process was very slow, and it took more than half an hour to completely liberate Mrs. Jiang Er.

Chu Yunning immediately put her shawl on Mrs. Jiang's body and ordered people to carry Mrs. Jiang into the tent. Xiao Jingheng followed closely behind, sitting across the screen and listening to what was going on inside.

Chu Yunning put her hand on Mrs. Jiang's wrist. It turned out that she was not only injured on the surface, but also suffered internal injuries to varying degrees. She must have suffered a period of inhuman torture.

Bixiu helped wipe the wound and couldn't help but look at it, smacking her tongue: "My dear, why is this person so cruel?"

There is not a single skin on my body, all of it has been scratched by nails, and some places have even become scabbed and purulent. After running all the way, I woke up and fainted, fainted and woke up again, over and over again, as long as there were some bumps,

The nails will pierce the skin, over and over again...

Chu Yunning immediately asked someone to boil the medicine again. Now Mrs. Jiang was holding on with only one breath, and her life was in danger at any time.

After taking the medicine, Mrs. Jiang Er fell into a deep sleep.

She walked slowly outside. Xiao Jingheng saw that her hands were still stained with blood. He took a step forward and took a clean handkerchief to wipe her palms little by little. His cold fingertips trembled slightly. Xiao Jingheng held them with his backhand and held her shoulders.

He held her in his arms: "Don't think too much about it yet."

Chu Yunning sighed, such a perverted thing was most likely done by Xiao Jingyan or Mo Fang.

Mrs. Jiang woke up the next evening. Bixiu hurriedly went to report to Chu Yunning. After a while, Chu Yunning also came and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Queen?" Mrs. Jiang held up her body and was about to stand up to salute, but was stopped by Chu Yunning: "Second aunt, there is no need to be polite."

She respected her second aunt because Xiao Jingheng said that the two uncles in the Jiang family were loyal and loyal, and they had given Xiao Jingheng a lot of help over the years.

The two Mrs. Jiang are even more virtuous, capable of literary and military skills, and heroic in appearance. They are extremely admirable people.

Mrs. Jiang Er said that the etiquette should not be discarded, but she really couldn't hold it up anymore, so she said: "Look, my body is so useless, it makes the empress laugh."

Chu Yunning shook her head and asked: "Second aunt doesn't need to see me outside. Can you tell me what happened?"

Mentioning what happened to the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale and her whole body trembled. Her eyes suddenly burst out with deep hatred, and tears flowed uncontrollably. She gritted her teeth tightly and calmed down her emotions for a while before speaking:

"That day was the same as usual in the Jiang family. There were sounds of killing without warning at night, and many, many masked men came. We were no match at all."

That night the fire in Jiang's house was raging, many people died, and blood flowed all over the ground. Mrs. Jiang's heart ached as she watched her three- and four-year-old grandsons being pierced by thousands of arrows.

When I woke up again, I was in a prison. I didn't know what it was like outside, except for a group of men in black who tortured me every day.

Not only that, Mrs. Jiang Er saw those beasts beating her father-in-law half to death.

Hearing these words, Chu Yunning couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She couldn't imagine that General Jiang, who had been so proud all his life, would suffer such humiliation in his later years.

"Queen, my father-in-law is too old to bear this torture. We must rescue him as soon as possible." Mrs. Jiang Er was emotional. Her husband, her two children, son-in-law and daughter-in-law were also taken away.
