Chapter Seventy-Seven: Your Father Went to Dig Up the Treasure
Xiong Chen's face was cold, like an ice statue carved from solid ice, his hand holding the sword did not relax in the slightest, who Xia Yun was, he had no memory in his heart, if it weren't for the deafening barking sound of those vicious wolf dogs that alarmed him, he wouldn't have shown up at all.
Two years ago, Xiao Lan was bitten all over his body by the wolf dog raised by Jiudao Villa on the way to escape, and the bloody scene was particularly vivid in Xiong Chen's mind, when he saw that scene was about to reappear in front of his eyes, he only felt that the blood in his whole body surged into his eyes, and the sword in his hand naturally swung out.
Looking at the dogs that fell to the ground, Xiong Chen hated and regretted, and all he thought of was the miserable scene of Xiao Lan lying in his arms covered in blood.
Xia Yun's face was bloodless, and she looked at Xiong Chen and said weakly: "I..... That's not what I mean, what I just said is just angry words, don't you ...... Hold a grudge in your heart, you still remember the woman you saved in the inn last time. I...... Yes...... I'm looking for you. ”
Xiong Chen snorted coldly, stopped speaking and turned around and walked towards the mountain, and the cold voice came from afar in the wind and rain: "In this world, there are not many things that can make me hold grudges in my heart, no matter what your identity is, Jiudao Villa can't allow you to go wild, you can go wherever you come from, and you are not allowed to stay in Jiudao Villa, otherwise I will kill you." ”
Xia Yun only felt a salty undercurrent surging in her chest, since she was a child, how could she have been so humble, but at this moment in front of Xiong Chen, she was indeed as humble as dust.
Xia Yun looked at the back that was gradually moving away with a sad face, and tried her best to adjust her breathing, but after all, she couldn't suppress it, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
The two secret guards standing in the distance glanced at each other, ignored Xia Yun, and quietly disappeared into the bushes.
A dazzling lightning flashed through the dark sky, and the frightened and tired Xia Yun hugged her shoulders with her hands and curled up on the steps in front of the archway, she was exhausted and couldn't walk a step.
Xia Yun secretly cursed herself in her heart: "I am really the number one fool in the world, the princess of the dignified Han Kingdom...... Let go of the high bed and soft pillows in the palace, and don't enjoy the delicacies, but I want to be moved by a boy from the rivers and lakes, Baba came here to ask for his humiliation, Xiong Chen, this little thief, one day I will break your body into ten thousand pieces,"
She just wanted to go back now, to return to that splendid palace, and continue to live the carefree life of a princess, but at this moment this beautiful thought could only turn around in her mind, pouring rain down, raindrops the size of beans hit her thin body, hot and painful, thunder rolling on her head, as if the next step was to split her in half.
Xia Yunqiang supported herself for a while, and finally passed out.
Xia Yun seemed to have a long nightmare, when she woke up from the dream, she found that she had returned to the dormitory, the soft tent was low, and the sandalwood was faintly wrapped around the end of her nose, she moaned lowly, and immediately heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Princess, princess, you are awake, but you need to drink saliva. ”
Xia Yun stared blankly at the brocade tent on the top, and after a while her consciousness slowly returned: "When did I come back?" How long did I fall asleep. ”
A round-faced maiden lifted the curtain, and with a flattering smile, lifted her up, and leaned on the head of the bed with a cushion on her back.
"The princess has been asleep for nearly three months, and when she just came back, the princess had a high fever, and the royal doctor took almost a month of medicine to get rid of the fever, but the princess just couldn't wake up, and the royal doctor said that the princess might be too tired, and she was frightened, and entered a state of turtle breath, so she could only recuperate quietly, and see when she had slept enough, and woke up naturally. ”
"Three months. I slept for three months. ”
Xia Yun exclaimed, I just had a nightmare, although this dream was a bit long, but after all, it was a dream, I thought it was a few short times, and I thought that after waking up, I was lying under the archway of Jiudao Villa.
"Mirror, give me a mirror. ”
"Yes"
The palace maid handed a prismatic bronze mirror to Xia Yun's eyes, Xia Yun stared at the pale and haggard face in the mirror with wide eyes, her fingers gently touched the face in the mirror, and finally laughed after a while.
"It's good that I finally returned to the palace, I'll never go out of the palace again, how did I come back. ”
"The slave doesn't know. ”
"I don't know. Why don't you know. ”
"The slave and maid really don't know, princess, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long, the slave and maid will go and serve you a bowl of porridge. ”
Xia Yun drank water, frowned and looked at the palace maid who walked in, this palace is exactly the same as when she left a few months ago, and the palace maids are also the dozen or so who served her in the past, this is indeed my palace, but how did I return to the palace.
The palace maid handed her a bowl of warm millet sweet porridge and said, "The imperial doctor has instructed that after the princess wakes up from a long sleep, her diet must be light." ”
Xia Yun looked at the yellow, orange and orange millet porridge in the jade bowl and said, "I just feel that I have no strength in my body, I am not hungry, my father... My father knew I wasn't awake. ”
The palace maid hesitated for a moment, and Fang said in a low voice: "Three days after the princess returned to the palace, Emperor Han left the palace with Grandma Gong, and has not returned yet. ”
Xia Yun was stunned and pouted, "Concubine Xiang." She's just a little concubine, why ask her. My father is too, why did he leave the government and leave the palace. And Grandma Gong... Aren't they always at odds with their faces? Why did they go out of the palace together? ”
The palace maid was so frightened that her face was colorless, she had served the princess for many years, so she naturally knew that this princess was open-mouthed, but when she said this, she was a little bolder.
"Princess, please be cautious in your words and deeds, Concubine Xiang is now pregnant with a dragon species, and she can't afford to offend,"
Xia Yun sighed, put down the porridge bowl, and said happily: "Really." Isn't this what my father is looking forward to day and night? God bless me Dahan, I can finally spread out again, this is a great joy, oh, strange, since Concubine Xiang has a dragon seed. Why didn't my father accompany him in the palace. ”
The palace maid's voice was lowered: "This slave really doesn't know ......."
Outside the palace, the eunuch's sharp voice came to the door: "Concubine Xiang has arrived." ”
Xia Yun straightened up, straightened her messy hair, and said, "Hang up the account." ”
The graceful Xiangfei Niangniang slowly approached with a round belly and the support of the two palace maids, Xia Yun owed her body, and said: "Yun'er has seen Xiangfei Niangniang, Yun'er has just woken up, her limbs are sore, and she can't go down to the ground to bow down, and she asks Niangniang to forgive her sins." ”
Concubine Xiang stroked her towering belly, sat down on the brocade stool with a smile, and waved her hand: "That's it, you can lie down well, thank God, you finally woke up." ”
Xia Yun looked at the peony flowers embroidered on the satin quilt on her body, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Yun'er is also confused, I don't know how to come back, father...... Isn't my father in the palace? ”
Concubine Xiang's bright expression dimmed, she looked at Xia Yun for a while, and waved her hand to let the palace maid standing beside her step back.
"I don't know how you came back, but when I woke up from a nap that day, I heard the palace ladies running to tell each other that you were faint at the foot of the steps of your dormitory...... After two days of confusion, your father suddenly came to my chamber at night, and gave me a letter, saying that he would give it to you when you woke up. ”
Concubine Xiang took out a sealed letter from her sleeve and handed it to Xia Yun: "This letter has been kept by me for more than three months, and since you have woken up, I will hand it over to you." ”
Xia Yun's whole body trembled slightly, and she said in a dumb voice: "Father." ”
Concubine Xiang smiled bitterly, her hand gently rubbed back and forth on her belly, this dragon was strange, her figure was still graceful before October, and the menstrual affair was also a month to come, and suddenly a spring breeze came, and the imperial doctor checked the pulse, and unconsciously she was pregnant for more than four months...... But the emperor is happy, and the whole world is also happy, so ....... You should be happy too...... The child said that there is it, and the past few months have been growing day by day, and I am afraid that the melons will be ripe next month.
"After the emperor put down the letter, he said to me that tomorrow the sun will leave the palace and travel, and the affairs in the palace will be entrusted to me, and the government affairs in the court will be managed by Prince Yu for the time being, until you wake up, your body is well, and you will inherit the unification and be my majesty the empress of the Great Han Kingdom. ”
Xia Yun's whole body trembled, looked at Concubine Xiang with a bleak face in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Impossible, my father is strong, and he is tireless every day, what he thinks about is the eternal stability of my Great Han Kingdom, how can he leave the country behind and go out to travel." This can't be, what's wrong with my father. ”
Concubine Xiang frowned, she felt the child in her stomach kick herself hard.
"Yun'er, this is true...... The emperor has indeed left behind a beautiful splendid country, I don't know where to go, you have been suffering in coma in the past three months, and I am not sad day and night. Prince Yu and I sent thousands of spies to find the emperor, but the news we got was ...... But it is...... Hey,"
When Xia Yun heard this, she suddenly lifted the quilt, jumped out of bed, and said loudly: "Where did my father go?" ”
Concubine Xiang wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and said in a low voice: "According to the report of the spies, the emperor took Grandma Gong to Jiudao Villa...... I heard that together with the former owner of Jiudao Villa, he was digging treasures in the back mountain. ”
Xia Yun's eyes widened, Concubine Xiang looked at her, and nodded slowly: "This is true, Yun'er, when I first heard the news, my reaction was the same as yours, and after these three months, I also looked down." ”
Xia Yun opened the letter left by Emperor Han with trembling hands, and the pale yellow letterhead was written in the words of his father: "The word Fu Yun'er, my father is leaving today, you inherit the throne today, you only need to have a valley in your heart, take the common people in the world as your own responsibility, you can benefit all the people, thirty years later, you can retire successfully, give way to the child in the womb of Concubine Xiang, and become the emperor." ”
