That night, Xu Ruyi didn't feel sleepy at all.

It was as if something was stuck in her heart, making her extremely suffocated.

Later in the night, Aunt Chang asked: "Princess, does she need some incense?"

Xu Ruyi replied: "No need."

She looked out the window and found that the lights in Queen Mother Jiang's palace were still on.

Didn’t Queen Mother Jiang sleep either?

She was a little suspicious, but she couldn't step forward to ask what happened. She no longer had the energy to deal with things that had nothing to do with her.

But that night, it really didn't stop. After Wu Zuo performed the autopsy, the entire family was wailing all night long.

At first they didn't believe that the corpse belonged to Qi Teng. It was impossible for Qi Teng to charge into the battle. How could he be blown up like this?

But the height, facial details and those birthmarks can't deceive anyone. If that doesn't help, I'll check the teeth. All the signs indicate that this is indeed Qi Teng.

But there is one thing that needs to be said clearly——

According to the condition of the abdominal cavity, this person has not eaten for three days.

Everyone in the Qi family was immediately angry!

In addition to grief, they want to seek justice for Qi Teng!

Among these relatives, Xu Changjiao was the only one who did not burst into tears, but she could not tell how she felt now.

But there was a feeling that I had never felt before.

That is sadness and guilt.

Qi Teng had sent a letter asking for help. A long time ago, Qi Teng had stated that there was insufficient food and grass in the army, and they were starving all day long. Even if they did not do any work, the soldiers were still suffering, and the limited food and grass were all used to fight the war.

The soldiers were divided, and the garrisoned soldier went to dig grass roots and tree bark nearby to satisfy his hunger. Several times he dug out a few grass roots, intending to cook them with gruel and eat them, but unexpectedly they were stolen.

He said that he couldn't survive a single day in the army and asked the Qi family to take him back as soon as possible. He didn't want any military honors, he just wanted to go home.

At that time, Xu Changjiao just wanted to scold him for being useless!

Why didn't Jing Yu ask for help? Why didn't she see Xu Ruyi tell Queen Mother Jiang to let Jing Yu come back?

At that time, Xu Changjiao guessed that Xu Ruyi wanted to gain military glory, so she also wanted to follow suit.

But I never imagined that things would develop like this!

Should she be responsible for this?

As long as she doesn't tell the truth, no one will know that Qi Teng has sent letters asking for help many times.

Should she feel guilty about this?

Xu Changjiao will not feel guilty, but Qi Teng has never done anything worthy of her.

She was a high-ranking princess. She was always in fear after marrying Qi Teng, and her reputation was almost destroyed by him.

In the years since she was implicated by Qi Teng, her husband's family has never cared about her feelings, not even once.

Later, when Xu Ruyi found a useless consort and began to train him seriously, Xu Changjiao saw hope again.

She knew that Xu Ruyi was much smarter than her. If the same situation happened to Xu Ruyi, she would definitely know how to find a way out for herself.

So, Xu Ruyi asked the three princes-in-law to go to the hunting ground to win the first prize, and she also asked Qi Teng to win the first prize.

He had to arrange for Qi Teng to go with him; Xu Ruyi asked the third prince-in-law to be a minor official in the capital, and Qi Teng was not allowed to dismiss him without reason.

In Xu Changjiao's opinion, if he can't think of a way, then he can always find a way out by following others' imitation, right?

At worst, the three consorts eat meat, and Qi Teng follows with two mouthfuls of gruel?

Unexpectedly, in the end, Xu Ruyi actually let the third prince-in-law and the eldest prince-in-law leave the capital to pursue their careers.

At first, Xu Changjiao knew that this was a bit dangerous, but she guessed that Xu Ruyi was going to do something big behind her back, so she couldn't leave Qi Teng behind!
