Chapter 155: Almost Died in a Mass Grave
That night.
Gu Qingluo was strolling in the palace as usual, digesting his food leisurely.
A breeze blew by, lifting her skirt, making a rustling sound.
Suddenly, a palace maid ran towards her in a panic.
Before Gu Qingluo could react, the maid shouted breathlessly, "Your Majesty, it's bad, Tingxue is injured!"
When Gu Qingluo heard this, she was shocked. Without having time to think, she quickly followed the palace maid.
Along the way, she was concerned only about Tingxue's safety and did not pay attention to anything unusual around her.
When he arrived at the place the palace maid pointed, Tingxue was nowhere to be seen.
Just when Gu Qingluo was full of doubts and was about to ask, the palace maid suddenly raised a thick stick and hit her on the head.
Gu Qingluo was caught off guard, his vision went dark in an instant, and he lost consciousness.
[You have reached your mission. Please save Lin Lingling in five hours. You will receive 15% of your Mingjun Points after completing the mission. This mission is difficult, so please treat it with caution.]
The palace maid looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, she dragged Gu Qingluo away effortlessly.
At this time, Xiao Lianzi came back after finishing her work and did not see Gu Qingluo, so she immediately panicked.
He looked around anxiously, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, where are you?" His voice echoed in the empty palace, but no one answered.
The royal guards went out one after another, holding torches, and searched carefully every corner of the palace, not missing any clues.
The news of Gu Qingluo's disappearance spread to the ears of Jun Lingyue and Ji Yanchen in an instant as if it had wings.
When the two of them heard this, they immediately rode their horses at full speed to the palace without thinking.
On the other side, Helian Mo, who couldn't sleep, was enjoying the cool in the yard. After hearing the noisy commotion, he became curious and followed without hesitation.
Jun Lingyue looked solemn and full of worry, as images of all kinds of harm that Gu Qingluo might encounter kept appearing in his mind.
Ji Yanchen frowned, walked hurriedly, and secretly vowed to find Gu Qingluo.
Helian Mo followed behind, wondering what had happened to cause such a big commotion.
Helian Mo hurried all the way to Mingde Hall, only to see Jun Lingyi'er and Ji Yanchen in the hall, looking anxious.
He walked over slowly and asked, "What happened? Why is there such a scene?"
Jun Lingyi pursed his lips tightly, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is missing."
Helian Mo was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes were full of astonishment: "How could this be?"
Ji Yanchen paced back and forth and said coldly, "There is no clue yet. We only know that she was taken away by a palace maid and there has been no news since then."
Helian Mo frowned, his eyes determined: "No matter what, we must find her back."
"Definitely!" Ji Yanchen left.
The atmosphere in the palace was solemn, everyone was worried about Gu Qingluo's safety, and the tense search continued in the palace.
On a gloomy night, the rain poured down mercilessly on the earth.
Gu Qingluo was wearing thin clothes, and the scratch on her neck was still aching slightly.
She staggered and was thrown into the gloomy mass grave like trash.
The air was filled with the smell of death; the stench and coldness almost suffocated her.
But Gu Qingluo had a strong desire to survive. She gritted her teeth, opened her eyes, stood up and walked in the mass grave.
At this time.
A faint moan reached her ears.
Gu Qingluo endured the pain and followed the sound.
Next to a pile of messy corpses, she found a woman covered in bruises and dying.
The woman's body was covered with scars, and her blood mixed with rainwater, dyeing the ground beneath her red.
Her face was distorted by pain, but her originally beautiful features could still be seen.
A trace of pity welled up in Gu Qingluo's heart. After all, she was a pitiful person. After thinking about it, she struggled to drag the woman to a slightly drier place. Although she was already very weak, her eyes were full of determination.
She knew that in this rainy night, in this horrific mass grave, she could only rely on herself.
She hasn't become a wise ruler yet, she can't die!
She hasn't let Ji Yanchen become the queen yet!
Without hesitation, she tore off a piece of cloth from her already tattered clothes. Although her movements were a little clumsy, she was extremely serious and careful, and carefully bandaged the woman's wound to stop the bleeding.
However, the woman was still unconscious and in critical condition. Gu Qingluo knew that if she continued to be exposed to this harsh environment, her life would be in danger.
No, the rain is too heavy. We need to find a place to shelter first.
She used all her strength to help the woman up, and her already injured body seemed to burst out with endless strength at this moment.
Every step I took was accompanied by heavy breathing and mud under my feet.
The howling wind and heavy rain blurred her vision. She had a desire to survive in her heart, so she walked forward step by step.
Finally, we saw a cave not far away.
Step by step, Gu Qingluo gritted his teeth, carried the woman tightly on his back, and walked towards the cave with difficulty.
Her hair was messy and stuck to her face. The rain flowed down her cheeks, mixing with sweat, but she had no time to wipe it off.
The road beneath her feet was bumpy and uneven, and Gu Qingluo almost fell down several times, but she relied on her strong will to keep her body steady.
After an unknown amount of time, the vague outline of the cave finally appeared before her eyes. She was delighted and worked even harder to move forward, carrying the woman on her back!
Gu Qingluo dragged his exhausted body and finally brought the woman into the cave.
The cave was a bit cold and damp. She saw that the woman's arms were covered with wounds so deep that the bones were visible, and there was only a faint breath at the tip of her nose.
After the rain, the moon came out and illuminated the earth.
With the faint light, Gu Qingluo carefully examined the woman's injuries.
The blood from the wound mixed with the rain water, making it look particularly hideous.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her inner fear and anxiety, and began to treat the woman's wounds.
She first used relatively clean leaves found in the cave to wipe the blood and stains around the wound. Her movements were gentle, for fear of causing more pain to the woman.
Then she tore off a few strips of cloth from her clothes and bandaged the woman again.
During this process, the woman remained unconscious, which made Gu Qingluo feel even more depressed.
She also treated the wound on her neck.
This time she was really careless. The moment she heard that Tingxue was in danger, her mind went blank. She didn't even think and just followed the palace maid.
Now, he was killed and thrown into this mass grave.
After treating the wound, Gu Qingluo began to look for something to keep the woman warm.
She found some dry grass in the corner of the cave, spread it on the ground and let the woman lie on it.
After doing all this, Gu Qingluo was exhausted. But she still stayed by the woman's side, her eyes never leaving her, silently praying that she would wake up as soon as possible.
When she woke up, at least there was someone to take care of her.
