Chapter 64: Antecedents and Consequences
The young girl slowly opened her eyes, and their sockets were so swollen that they could only open one slit.
Ruan Ge said in surprise: "Are you awake?" ”
The girl's lips squirmed, as if to say something.
Ruan Ge leaned down slightly, put her ear close to the girl's lips, and listened carefully to what she said.
Immediately, the girl struggled to open and close her mouth, making a very small sound, and Ruan Ge carefully discerned it, but she couldn't tell what she wanted to say.
"Don't rush, take your time, I'm listening." Ruan Ge smiled softly at the girl and encouraged.
It took a long time for the girl to squeeze out a few words from between her lips and teeth, and this time Ruan Ge heard it clearly.
"Am I dead?" The girl made a subtle and weak voice, and her eyes looked at Ruan Ge.
Ruan Ge shook his head at her with a smile and said to her, "You are not dead, you have survived." ”
The girl seemed to want to pull the corners of her mouth and smile, but her face was covered with bandages, and her face had already covered her face tightly, so how could she still laugh.
"It's... You... Saved me? The girl looked at Ruan Ge and asked with difficulty.
Without waiting for Ruan Ge to answer, Ying'er, who was standing next to her, hurriedly replied: "Of course, if you hadn't met our Ruan girl, it is estimated that you would have been treated as a dead corpse by now......"
Ruan Ge frowned, and hurriedly spoke out to stop Ying'er from continuing.
"Sakura, how do you speak?" Ruan Ge said unhappily.
Seeing this, Sakura knew that she had lost her words, so she quickly shut up and didn't dare to speak again.
"No... Never mind. The girl said weakly in a small voice.
Ruan Ge smiled and said, "Ying'er is young and ignorant, don't be surprised." There are many people who have saved you, not just me. No one will die without help. So don't get too hung up. ”
Ruan Ge continued: "Originally, I didn't want to disturb your rest, but I was afraid that your relatives would worry about you, maybe now they don't know where you are and are looking around." So I need to ask for your personal information and home address, so that I can inform your family in time so that they don't worry. And the most puzzling thing to me is why you are so badly injured? Who is it that has such a deep hatred for you? ”
When the girl heard Ruan Ge ask her this, she began to be silent and stopped talking.
Ruan Ge was a little strange and asked, "Is there anything unspeakable?" If it's inconvenient to say it, then don't talk about it yet, and we'll talk about it when you're better. The most important thing now is not to discuss this, what you have to do now is to try to get better, take care of your body, and don't think about anything else. ”
The girl seemed to be asleep and did not move.
Ruan Ge said to Ying'er: "Tell the girls and grandmothers to come in, take good care of this girl." Oh, by the way, bring the purple jade fruit left for her, and let the maid feed it to her, so that she can supplement some vitamins. ”
Sakura replied 'yes', but then said suspiciously, "Girl, what is a vitamin?" ”
From time to time, Ruan Ge's mouth came up with some new words that she had never heard before, and Ying'er was very curious.
Ruan Ge smiled: "Vitamins are a kind of nutrients that are beneficial to people's bodies. Well, stop nagging, get in the way of the patient's rest. Let's go. ”
Ruan Ge was about to get up and go out.
At this time, the girl made a faint voice and said, "I... It's called Mercy Star. ”
Ruan Ge looked back in surprise, only to see that Lianxing's eyes were clearly full of tears.
Ruan Ge hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and said softly: "Don't cry, Mercy Xing." If recalling those things makes you feel painful, then stop recalling them and heal well. Well? ”
Lian Xing shook her head and said weakly: "Miss Ruan, actually... I'm from the Prime Minister's Mansion... Servant girl. ”
Ruan Ge was taken aback, could it be that this matter had something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Lianxing continued: "I just entered the mansion... Less than two months, it is... Lord Yining... 's personal maid. ”
Sakura, who was standing on the side, was so shocked that she almost cried out.
Ruan Ge frowned when he heard this.
Lian Xing intermittently told Ruan Ge the whole story of the incident.
It turned out that that morning, Xia Xueqing, the lord of Yining County, heard that the envoy of Fengli had come to visit his father, Prime Minister Xia Cheng. He also wanted to listen to what they had to say, so he asked Lianxing to accompany him to his father's study.
In the past, his father never prevented him from participating in his political affairs, and even if he met with envoys, she could go in at will, but at most he would scold her in person, reminding her not to be so rude.
But this time, Xia Junfeng seemed very mysterious, and no one was allowed to enter this courtyard when he closed it, not even her. Xia Xueqing was very puzzled, so she treated the guards softly and hard, and Zuihou entered the courtyard.
When she entered the courtyard, in order not to be discovered, she quietly came to the window and listened attentively, and there was a faint sound of conversation in the room.
After listening to it for a few minutes, Xia Xueqing's body suddenly stiffened, as if she had heard the most terrifying news, and her face turned pale.
At this time, there were foreign envoys in the room, and she couldn't let her father not come down. Therefore, she went out of the courtyard angrily, and Lianxing followed closely behind, and did not dare to talk when she saw the county lord's angry face, this county lord's temper was not a joke, no one in the mansion dared to provoke her, even the old lady couldn't control her.
If you say the wrong word, it will cause a scolding or slap on the mouth, or you will be dragged out and beaten severely, or even directly caned.
But after all, Lianxing is young, and the time to enter the mansion is too short, so it is inevitable to say the wrong thing.
This is not Xia Xueqing returned to the room, her handsome facial features were twisted together, and her chest was breathing rapidly and heaving, obviously not ordinary anger.
With a wave of his hand, he swept everything on the dresser to the ground, and the shards fell everywhere.
She gritted her teeth with hatred and said, "What is a princess of a small country?" Dare to rob Brother Chen with me? The beauty of thinking. ”
Only then did Lian Xing understand that it was related to Duan Wangye, and when he encountered something related to Duan Wang, the county lord promised that he couldn't hold his breath.
"The first beauty in the country? Bah, she deserves it. What the first beauty. How come I haven't heard of this one? Xia Xueqing gritted her teeth and said.
Then he suddenly turned his head and asked the mercy star on the side: "Mercy Xing, have you heard of Princess Huaibi of Fengliguo?" ”
Lian Xing was originally a native of Fengliguo, but she has lived in Ningxuanguo with her family for a long time since she was a child, but she is still very concerned about the customs of Fengliguo, many of which were told to her by the old people in the family, and more of them she heard about herself.
When she saw the county lord asking her, she didn't dare to hide it, so she told her everything she knew.
"Back to the county master, the slave knows a little bit." Pity Star said weakly.
"Oh? Tell me about it? Xia Xueqing said.
"Yes, Lord Shire. Princess Huaibi is the eldest princess of the feudal country, with a noble status, and I heard that she has an excellent character. She was called 'the first beauty of Fengli', legend has it that wherever she walked, the flowers and bones will open, you can imagine how stunning Princess Huaibi looks, there are few women in the world who can compare to her appearance. All men in the world regard marrying her as their dream and glory......"
There was a sudden 'snap' sound, and Lian Xing, who had not yet reacted, covered her right cheek and looked at Xia Xueqing in surprise, and the corner of her mouth had already left a rainbow.
