Chapter 246 Grove
By the time Shiyue and Shiri carried the victims back to the makeshift treatment facility, Xiaohua had already woken up.
He lay weakly on the wooden bed, covered with a thick quilt, his face pale, while Xiaohua was guarding her brother.
After several people worked hard for a whole day and night, they finally found all the survivors.
However, the disaster caused huge casualties, with almost half of the people killed.
Among those who survived, several were seriously injured and unconscious.
Their lives are in danger and require more care and treatment.
Ma Xiaohua and her brother were very lucky because when the rocks rolled down, they just happened to smash a corner of the beam, forming a small shelter.
The brother and sister hid in this corner and managed to escape.
Fortunately, Yu He and others arrived to rescue them in time, otherwise even if the survivors were not killed by the stones, they would have frozen to death due to the severe cold.
Yu He stood in the center of the camp, looking at the wounded who were covered in dust and dirt, her heart filled with dissatisfaction and hatred towards the Tenth Prince.
She couldn't understand why a member of the royal family would do such a crazy thing as blowing up a mountain.
"That..." A voice suddenly came, interrupting Yuhe's thoughts. She turned around and saw that it was the two brothers brought by Youshi.
"What's the matter?" Yu He asked with a frown.
Although Shiyue and Shiri had just participated in the rescue, she knew their identities and it was difficult for her to be nice to them.
Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I know I shouldn't say this with my status, but I really want to meet that so-called young master."
"Impossible." Yu He refused without hesitation. She knew in her heart that the man in front of her was the Tenth Prince's confidant for many years.
Want to see the young master? Who knows what evil intentions he has in mind!
Shiyue felt a little embarrassed, and clenched his hands tightly behind his back, revealing a hint of anxiety.
He hurriedly explained: "I have something important to say, it's really important!"
Yu He sneered and answered bluntly: "There are so many people who want to talk to you, young master, who do you think you are?" Her eyes revealed disdain and distrust.
"I, I..." Shiyue stammered and couldn't utter a word, his face full of confusion.
"That's enough!" Yu He waved her hand impatiently, interrupting him, and at the same time waved to Shi Ri beside her, signaling them to leave quickly.
"Since you guys have helped me, I won't bother with you. But I'm busy and don't have time to chat with you. You can go wherever you want, just don't bother me anymore."
After saying that, Yuhe patted the non-existent dust on her skirt, then swung her handkerchief casually and walked away with a swagger.
Shiyue looked at her departing back and couldn't help but grit his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
He had no choice but to leave with Shi Ri and head to a small woods not far from the camp.
In the grove, Lu Yue was anxiously waiting for news.
After seeing the figure in the distance, she immediately went forward and asked impatiently: "How is the situation over there?"
He Yun wore a black cloak and hid himself in the shadows.
He replied softly: "Fortunately, we prepared countermeasures in advance, and everything has been resolved."
Hearing this good news, Lu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Fortunately, you arranged for the Seventh Prince to go to Shangguo Temple in advance, otherwise the Tenth Prince would have succeeded this time."
He Yun smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to gently flick away the falling snow on Lu Yue's head, and comforted her: "I can't get away, it's really hard for you."
"I'm fine." Lu Yue smiled and leaned in He Yun's arms, a happy smile on her face: "I'm glad that I can help you."
At this moment, the two of them were immersed in each other's warmth, hoping to take this opportunity to enjoy a few sweet moments.
However, after just a moment, Lu Yue suddenly straightened up alertly, and a silver needle flashing with cold light instantly appeared in his hand.
"Who's there? Come out!" Lu Yue shouted sternly, with majesty and determination in his voice.
There was a dead silence all around, with only the rustling sound of the cold wind.
After a while, two figures slowly walked out from behind the tree.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Yue stared at the uninvited guests in front of her - Shiyue and Shiri, with a fierce murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
It turns out that Prime Minister He’s wife is skilled in martial arts and is quite capable.
This was the first thought in Shiyue’s mind.
Facing Lu Yue's fierce gaze, Shi Yue was not afraid at all. She looked directly at He Yun behind her, then slowly saluted: "Master He, long time no see."
Seeing this, He Yun stopped pretending, strode up to Lu Yue, and gently took off the hood on his head.
He looked at Shiyue carefully, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a smile: "I guess you must be the capable general of the Tenth Prince, Shiyue."
Shiyue was not surprised and nodded again: "That's right."
He Yun nodded and said with a smile: "I remember that I have never met you before!"
Shi Yue smiled back, "I have met Lord He, but Lord He doesn't know."
When He Yun and Lu Yue got married, the Tenth Prince sent Shi Yue to present a gift, but He Yun refused to accept it.
He Yun no longer worried about whether the two had met before. He put away his smile and asked directly, "What do you want from me?"
Shi Yue raised an eyebrow, "Is Lord He also in league with that so-called 'young master'?"
After he finished speaking, a fierce look flashed across Shiyue's face, "Master He, do you know that this is a crime of treason!"
He Yun shrugged and said nonchalantly: "I know, so what?"
Shiyue was speechless for a moment. He never expected that He Yun would admit it so frankly.
He suppressed his anger, but his tone revealed deep disappointment, "I thought Lord He was always an honest, virtuous and far-sighted person..."
"That depends on what you do," He Yun interrupted Shi Yue. "I have never been a man of high moral integrity, but I have to do my job. I am just doing my best and leaving the rest to fate."
Shi Yue stared at He Yun closely, eyes full of disbelief: "So, it was Master He who betrayed His Majesty and chose that young master?"
He Yun sighed softly and said slowly: "I did not betray your majesty."
Shi Yue looked at He Yun suspiciously and asked, "Does Lord He think that what he did is right?"
He Yun looked at Shiyue deeply and replied firmly: "I am just doing what I think is right."
After a moment of silence, Shi Yue suddenly said, "So... Lord He, do you think that everything you do is for the good of Qi?"
He Yun nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Of course."
Shi Yue frowned and thought to himself: Judging from He Yun’s reaction, the mysterious "young master" seems to be of extraordinary status. Could he be a son of the royal family?
