15. Madness
Xu Huizu sighed behind me, and finally left. I have been cultivating in Xu Mansion for nearly half a month, and when I can get out of bed and walk, I want to go out for a walk, but I didn't expect to find that the doors and windows are closed when I walk to the door, and all of them are locked tightly. I was sad and angry for a while, I was rescued by Xu Huizu, although he is already different from my camp, but I will never flee with revenge, what this will bring to his Xu Mansion, I know better than anyone else. Who would have thought that he would not be able to believe me like this, and he would strike first and seal the doors and windows.
Disheartened, I went back to my bed and sat down. kept wrapping around his two hands, thinking of a way out, but he couldn't think of anything, so in a fit of anger, he could only lie on the bed and cover his head with the quilt, and hammer the bed board with his hands.
After two more days like this, every day except for someone to deliver food, I always stayed in this room with closed doors and windows, except that the conditions were better, which was no different from going to prison. On the third day, the door was suddenly opened, not as usual, and one slit in and then closed again, but all of them were opened, and the sun was a little dazzling, and I simply covered my eyes with my hands and looked out, only to see two guards come in later, and I could not guess what was happening, so I got up and stood.
The girl who usually served me also came in at this time, and said with a smile, "Miss Helian, the master commanded, you can go." These officials are escorting you out of the city. ”
I was shocked, "Out of town? The two guards replied, "Yes, out of the city." ”
As he spoke, he sandwiched me in the middle of the middle from left to right, and I was confused, so I asked the girl again, "What did your master say himself?" ”
"Yes, the lord called Miss Helian to follow the two officials, this trip to the north, send you to Beiping." The smile on the girl's face was sincere, I didn't understand it more and more, and I had been taken out by the two guards.
These two people really only sent me out of the city, and said, "Miss, you can go to Beiping by yourself, Lord Xu only ordered us to send you here." So saying, he left me some silver taels and went back.
I stood outside the city gate and was stunned, did Zhu Yunwen privately agree, or did Xu Huizu let me go privately? Am I wrong to blame Xu Huizu?
While I was thinking about it, someone suddenly called to me, "Helian! ”
I looked up and saw that Ma Sanbao had arrived in front of me riding a horse! "Come up!" He called out to me, and had already stretched out a hand to me, I took his hand, and immediately got up to the horse, and before I could ask what was going on, Ma Sanbao had already said, "Don't ask, I'll tell you the reason later." ”
I had to endure a stomach that I didn't understand, and with Ma Sanbao galloping all the way, I went straight for most of the day, and the horse was too tired to run, so I stopped at a post station. Ma Sanbao ordered two bowls of beef noodles at the post station, and pushed one bowl in front of me, "Eat quickly, feed the horse after eating, we have to leave quickly." ”
"Sanbao, what's going on?"
Sanbao smiled, "Let's talk as we walk after eating the noodles." ”
When feeding the horses, Sanbao told me that on the day of the fire in the prison of Xuzhou Mansion, Zhu Di also happened to rush to the people of the Shenji Battalion, and at that time, the mountain bandits of Matoufeng had already lit a fire around the prison, and the two sides did not know who the other party was, and they fought with each other, and then Song Zhong took people to go, and the two sides found that the other party was coming to rob the prison, so they joined forces to fight with Song Zhong. In the panic, the people of the Shenji Battalion carried away Zhu Yanxue, who had been stunned in prison. After moving back to see, it was not me, after waking her up, asked that I had been taken away, Zhu Di immediately sent someone to investigate my whereabouts, and after the investigation came out, he found that I had been sent to the capital, knowing that the general trend had gone, so he could only rush back to the capital first, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he received a letter from Jiu Niang, and he was anxious, so he sent Sanbao to the capital to save me.
I listened to Ma Sanbao's understatement and frowned, "You just want Xu Huizu to get out of me?" ”
Ma Sanbao smiled embarrassedly, "You go back and ask the prince about this." ”
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, Zhu Yunwen was already determined to catch Zhu Di, no matter whether I was a strong bargaining chip or not, it was impossible to let me go so cheaply. But looking at Ma Sanbao's appearance, he probably didn't plan to tell me, so I had to keep my mouth shut, urging him to go on the road together, and hurry back to see what happened.
Sanbao is very good at talking on weekdays, especially like to talk to me, this way I don't know if it's too hurried, and didn't talk to me too much, all the way to the rush, but on the seventh day to Beiping, to the Yanwang Mansion, for some reason, always feel that the anger at the door is a little weird, there were originally a lot of guards at the door, now there is only a rickety old man. Even the big vat that Xu Yunhua originally placed at the door to give water to the poor was also dry.
Ma Sanbao's face was also a little surprised, after entering, I didn't go to the room to find Zhu Di because I avoided suspicion, but thought about going to Zhu Di's study first, and waited for Sanbao to come back and tell me what was going on. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the study, I saw Xu Yunhua sitting in the position where Zhu Di was always sitting, looking at me with a fierce face.
I was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Blessed is the princess." ”
Xu Yunhua grabbed an inkstone on the desk and threw it at my forehead, hitting the corner of my forehead with a sharp pain, and before I could react, there were already two long lines of blood flowing down the corners of my eyes. At this time, Ma Sanbao also rushed over, and when he saw this scene, he exclaimed, "Princess, why bother to be so angry?!" As he spoke, he covered my wound with his hand.
Before Xu Yunhua could speak, two lines of tears had already fallen, "What are you going to do when you come back with this loser's things!" The entire Yanwang Mansion was ruined by her! Such a bad star, my Yanwang Mansion can't tolerate it! ”
I leaned on Sanbao's lap, dizzy, and couldn't open my mouth to ask, Sanbao had already asked with a smile, "The princess said such things, and there must be a reason." You can't put such a big charge on Miss Helian for no reason. ”
Xu Yunhua stood up and pointed at Ma Sanbao and said, "I know, you and your prince are the ones who wear a pair of pants, and you sent my three children to the capital behind my back just to exchange for this vixen." Now that she is back, my children are all held hostage in the capital, you want the Yan Wangfu to be the queen! ”
My scalp was numb, and I pulled the corner of Ma Sanbao's clothes, "What?!" Are you sure? ”
Sanbao's face sank, and he said after a long time, "Hmm." ”
Fang was smashed on the head by Xu Yunhua inexplicably, although I didn't mess with her for the sake of face, I was really annoyed in my heart, but now I was paralyzed, Zhu Di actually took the three sons to the capital in exchange for me! How could Xu Yunhua not be in a hurry? Why is Zhu Di so confused! I said to Ma Sanbao, "The prince is not saving me, but forcing me to a dead end." ”
"I advise you to make such a pitiful appearance in front of me as soon as possible! Not only is my three children buried in your hands, and the prince is also ......" Xu Yunhua said this, tears rained down again, and he couldn't say a word, and walked away.
Only me and Sanbao looked at each other, and I couldn't help crying, "Why didn't you tell me the reason?" ”
"It's useless to tell you or not, when I can see you, the three sons have already been handed over to Uncle Xu." Sanbao said a little frustratedly, "But the princess seems to say that something happened to the prince, let's stop making trouble here and go see what happened to the prince." ”
I stood up, took a handkerchief to cover my forehead, and followed Ma Sanbao out of the way, but after two steps, I saw Bao'er hurrying towards me, and Bao'er saw Sanbao, and tears rippled, "Brother Sanbao, why did you come back?" Miss Helian, you're back too? ”
Sanbao didn't care about avoiding suspicion, grabbed Bao'er's hand, and asked anxiously, "Bao'er, tell me quickly, what's wrong with the prince?" ”
Bao'er covered her face, turned around and walked forward, "I...... I can't say it, you can go with me to see the prince! ”
Hearing her say this, Sanbao and I followed in three steps and two steps, and after a while we arrived at a Buddhist hall in the middle of the house, only to see a man with a disheveled hair sitting on the futon, wrapped in a thick quilt, muttering there, and I didn't know what to say.
I hadn't gone in yet, I was about to cross the threshold, and when I heard the sound, my legs suddenly became weak, and if it weren't for Sanbao and Bao'er pulling me left and right, I would have fallen to the ground! This voice is obviously Zhu Di's voice, and even the back can be seen at a glance that it is Zhu Di.
But now it's dog days, the cicadas are singing and the sun is shining outside, and people can't wait to take off only a layer of veil, why is Zhu Di wrapped in such a thick quilt? I walked to the front of him, only to see that his face was dirty, he still had a straw in his mouth, and although he was sweating profusely, he was still shivering and shouting, "Cold...... Cold...... It's so cold......" he said, glancing up at me.
I knelt down in front of him, put my arms on his shoulders, and asked in a trembling voice, "Lord Wang...... What's wrong with you, do you recognize me? ”
There was a moment of clarity in Zhu Di's eyes, swept on my forehead, stretched out his hand and stroked it, I was so happy that I was about to cry, thinking that he recognized me, but I didn't expect him to wipe it, put the blood on his hands, put it in his mouth and licked it a little bit, and only smiled at me after licking, "Hehe, delicious!" ”
If I almost fainted when I heard that Zhu Di was taking the three children to exchange for me, then I can't wait to die immediately, how could the person in front of me be Zhu Di!
I glanced back at Sanbao and Bao'er, full of help, how I hoped they would tell me that all this was an illusion, or tell me that this crazy man was not Zhu Di, we recognized the wrong person, but what I saw this time was that Bao'er was constantly wiping her tears, and Sanbao was stunned at the door, leaning against the edge of the door, and the degree of fright was no less than mine. 、
I was in despair.
