Chapter 561 The General Was Rescued (36)
As expected, Luo Qitai had just sent his family on board his merchant ship when two imperial decrees were issued.
The first was to enthrone the third prince as the crown prince and grant him the power of regent.
The second was to announce that the prince had already had the intention to rebel, but had already died when the rebellion was exposed. The current emperor did not announce it in order to take into account the relationship between father and son and the prince's posthumous reputation.
Now, some of the crown prince's old followers are disregarding the truth and intending to slander the new crown prince. They deserve to be punished.
Confiscate their property and exterminate their clan to serve as a warning to others!
Who wouldn’t be thinking about the emperor now?
Luo Qiwen was at the Luo family at the time, so he was caught red-handed. Luo Qitai was shot and killed while escaping.
Luo Yuhe happened to be accompanying her sister in the former prince's mansion. Before she could react, she was imprisoned together with her sister Luo Yufu.
When she was finally "replaced" by Huo Yuan, the scene she saw made her heart break and she was heartbroken.
The Luo family's mansion, which was once bustling and crowded with people, is now dead silent. Blood has dyed every inch of the land red, and the air is filled with a sickening smell of blood.
The more than one hundred living members of the Luo family have now become a cluster of graves in the suburbs!
It was Huo Yuan who collected the bodies for the Luo family. When Luo Yuhe was able to go out, he secretly brought her here to pay homage to his family.
Finally, the Luo family, the richest of the four major families in the capital, now has only her lonely bloodline left in the world, except for her sister who is imprisoned forever and her young and innocent niece.
She was a daughter of aristocratic family who was loved by everyone. She grew up carefree under the care and doting of her father and brothers.
However, she just couldn't understand why her elder brother went to the emperor to file a complaint just to let his good friend rest in peace, which would lead to such tragic consequences?
Although Huo Yuan tried his best to save her from this catastrophe, the pain in her heart could not be healed.
The once warm and happy home no longer exists, replaced by endless desolation and sadness.
What's even more tragic is that from now on, she can no longer introduce herself to others under the name "Luo Yuhe".
Because in the eyes of the world, "Luo Yuhe" had already died along with her family in the cold and cruel execution ground.
Huo Yuan would often take advantage of his free time to rush to this remote farm in the suburbs to accompany Luo Yuhe.
He looked at the haggard Luo Yuhe with pity on his face, and comforted her softly: "Yuhe, don't be too sad, everything will be fine. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
Hearing this, Luo Yuhe raised her head, looked at the man she loved deeply with tearful eyes, and said with a sob: "Brother Yuan, my home is gone... From now on, will I really become a lonely person?"
At this moment, she did not know that the seemingly affectionate lover in front of her was actually the same as the Third Prince who caused her family to be destroyed.
Deep in her innocent heart, she always believed that Huo Yuan would be her lifelong support.
But this illusion is about to be broken.
because
"Brother Yuan!" When Luo Yuhe heard footsteps outside the courtyard gate, she stood up and wanted to go and greet her sweetheart.
However, the person she saw was the Third Prince Chen Jiyao, who was dressed in the clothes of a crown prince. He walked in with a swagger and said, "Ms. Luo, Fourth Miss, long time no see!"
"You got the wrong person!" Luo Yuhe lowered her head quickly, pretending not to know the other person, "Sir, this is a private courtyard, please leave as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jiyao smiled and quickly stepped forward to block Luo Yuhe's way. Perhaps because both of them were very fast, they couldn't stop their feet and "bumped" into each other.
"It smells so good!" Chen Jiyao put his arm around Luo Yuhe's waist. "As expected of a girl raised by the Luo family, she is different from ordinary people."
Luo Yuhe's face changed. She obviously didn't expect that the current prince was actually a lustful man.
Before this, when her elder brother had dealings with him, she had met Chen Jiyao several times. Every time, he was polite and courteous, which was completely different from the lecherous look he had now.
"You don't have to look at me like that!" Chen Jiyao pinched Luo Yuhe's cheek, "I have been in love with you, Fourth Miss Luo, for a long time, but you never see anyone else in your eyes. It really makes me feel embarrassed!"
"You're crazy!" Luo Yuhe turned her head to avoid the other person's hand, but the man looked gentle, but his hand was very strong and she couldn't break free at all. "Do you know whose place this is?"
"Huo Yuan!" Chen Jiyao looked indifferent, "If I hadn't followed him, I wouldn't have found you! You know what? I also thought about finding someone to move you out of that place before, but I was a step too late, and Huo Yuan got there first."
"Since you know this is Brother Yuan's place, you shouldn't come here." Although Luo Yuhe was afraid in her heart, she still pretended to be calm on her face.
