"Get in the carriage!" Liu Yuan shouted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The nurse climbed into the carriage and covered the curtains with wooden planks prepared in advance, so that the queen would not be wounded by the arrows that came at her. "Drive!" Liu Yuan shouted, and the carriage shook and bumped again in the wilderness.

Queen Qiuci had been sleeping very lightly, and she couldn't sleep soundly for several days, but when she heard half a minute of movement, she immediately opened her eyes. Seeing the nurse's nervous expression, she was covering the doors and windows in a panic, her hands and feet were confused. As soon as she opened her mouth to ask what was going on, there was a "whooshing" arrow sound in her ears, and she understood most of it in her heart.

"Queen, don't be afraid, we are here." When the nurse saw the queen wake up, the panic on her face disappeared immediately, and the helplessness in her eyes disappeared. She crouched beside the queen and pulled out a soft pillow and placed it on her back, as if she were still at ease in the palace.

It's a pity that the glory and wealth of the past, the splendid beams and splendor, are like a passing cloud, with the carved fence and jade masonry, the grand and graceful whirlpool palace, together with ashes.

At this time, the night was as dark as paint, there was not a single star in the sky, and the moon was hidden in the thick clouds at some point. The queen's pale face barely showed a smile, but there was no fear at all, and her voice was like a gossamer: "I'm not afraid, but I just suffer this child in the womb, and I want to suffer with us......"

She reached out and took the nurse's hand, and the nurse folded her hands on top of each other, and the two hands were tightly clasped together. She moved her lips and whispered in a voice that seemed to come from a distant wilderness: "Jinyun, I dreamed just now that the king was killed by them......

Tears flashed in the nurse's eyes, and they flashed and disappeared with the bumps of the carriage, "No, Queen, you have a nightmare, King Mingde will protect the king's life for the sake of Princess Qingwan." ”

The queen smiled bitterly twice and said, "If he really has the intention of saving his life, he will not burn my palace with a fire." ”

"Queen......

"Queen, you are steady! There are many rocks and weeds in front, and please help your aunt to help the queen! ”

Liu Yuan finished shouting, waved his hand and rode the horse vigorously, the sound of the horse's hooves bursted, the wind blew the curtains on the left and right sides wildly, and the wind roared into the car like the roar of the horse, roaring so that people were faintly stunned.

"They are chasing and killing here, just to take my life in the womb and cut off the bloodline of the Luo family, so how can they protect the life of the king?"

"However, Princess Qingwan must not allow it!"

The corners of the queen's mouth pulled a smile, her eyes seemed to be as indifferent as wandering outside the world, she seemed to no longer hear the sound of the wind, horses' hooves and dark arrows outside the car, but said softly and plainly: "Throughout the ages, have you ever seen an emperor who obeys a woman's orders in state affairs?" No matter how deep their relationship is, even if the king of Xizhou has a deep affection for Qingwan, but all the things on the battlefield and the disputes in the world, as long as a king has murderous intentions and ambitions, he will not back down half a step and be vague. ”

"Queen......" The nurse's eyes were slightly swollen, and her hands were tightly clasped to the queen.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow plunged directly into the wooden plank behind it, and the sharp arrow pierced out, glowing coldly in the solemn black.

"Queen, be careful!" The nurse hurriedly lifted half of her body, wrapped her arms around the back of the queen's head, and leaned back, for fear that the queen would be hurt by a secret arrow.

"Jinyun, don't be in vain, you listen to me......"

The queen clung to her arm, and was about to continue, when she heard a terrible scream from the nurse, and the arm on her shoulder increased her strength, and she could feel the heavy wheezing sound behind her.

"Jinyun!" I saw blood gurgling from Ye Jinyun's right arm, her face was pale, even in this dark night, she could see her closed eyes and beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. Ye Jinyun only felt the pain in the back of his shoulder, and the surging pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow, almost making people faint. But the physical pain seemed to replace the fear in her heart, and at this moment, she only felt an indescribable power in her heart, which was slowly growing in her body.

The queen took her in her arms, held back the tears in her eyes, and said nothing.

After Liu Yuan heard the scream, he also forgot his fear, and only blindly spurred the horse, staring at the night in front of him, and galloped away on the horse like crazy. The muscles of his whole body were tense, his breath was held in his nose, and there was nothing in his ears except the sound of the wind. At this time, his duty and mission is to drive the horse as fast as possible and throw off the archers behind him.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of horses' hooves behind him gradually disappeared, and the flying arrows were gone. The darkness of the night is the greatest layer of protection, and the dilapidated carriage does not know where it has gone. The moon rose quietly, hanging proudly in the vast night sky, as if knowing that the three of them were in a safe place, illuminating the whole mountain as bright as day.

Liu Yuan opened the curtain and saw that the queen was tearing her dress into several strips of cloth to bandage the nurse's wounds. He hurriedly stopped the queen, and instead tore off his coat and wrapped it around Ye Jinyun's arm layer by layer.

"Queen, just rest, I'll come."

"No more pursuers?"

"Not for the time being, we've run a long way, and I don't know exactly where they are now, but I must have dumped them, and fortunately you weren't hurt."

"If it weren't for Jinyun, I'm afraid I would have ...... a long time ago" She stared at the nurse's wound, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

"The good thing is...... We are in danger. Ye Jinyun said with a smile.

After Liu Yuan was busy for a while, the wound on Ye Jinyun's arm was finally bandaged, and the bleeding stopped flowing. Her lips turned slightly white, she opened her eyes, and said to the queen, "Queen, don't worry, I don't care, it's just a bruise." ”

"Queen, aunt, you rest in the car for a while, I went to the front to look for water, just now I heard the sound of water outside, I am afraid there is a small stream around."

"That's great, go get some water, I'll wipe the blood stains for Jinyun." The queen said hurriedly.

After Liu Yuan agreed, he got out of the car, took two kettles, and looked around for the sound of water.

At this time, the night breeze gradually weakened, and due to extreme fatigue and fright, the two of them took a nap in the car at this time. When they awoke, the sky was already slightly bright, the distant horizon was white, the shape of the moon was a little blurred, and the stars had dimmed.

"Grandpa Liu hasn't come back yet?" The queen looked out the window and poked her head out anxiously.

Ye Jinyun was also apprehensive in her heart, but she still comforted the queen and said, "I was tired of driving last night, but I fell asleep outside?" ”

But two hours passed...... Jinyun, you go look for him, I'm fine in the car. ”

"No, Queen, I can't leave you."

"I'm fine, as long as I ......" Speaking of this, she only felt a cramping pain in her abdomen, as if there were thousands of daggers fighting in her stomach, in a hurry, she subconsciously grabbed Ye Jinyun's hand with her left hand, and opened five fingers with her other hand and pressed it her stomach. The two willow eyebrows were tightly locked together, and their expressions were painful.

Ye Jinyun was shocked and said, "You...... You're going to give birth! ”

"Jinyun, quick, help me deliver ......"
