Chapter 36: Exile
In the dark space, Qiong'er opened her eyes as much as she could, stretched out her hand tremblingly, rubbed against the wall, and vaguely calculated the time.
I've been locked up for more than six months, right? Sighing, he scratched at the wall with his fingernails, and then scratched a deep mark. Sure enough, shouldn't you hesitate at that time?
After that, there was no chance to escape
The pain on his body began again, and the rapid rise in body temperature blocked Qiong'er's memories, and the wound became inflamed again! In the drowsiness, it seems that someone has scrubbed themselves, and then someone has given them medicine.
When she woke up again, she looked at herself lying on a clean bed, and the man with the beard was still taking her pulse. The man saw a pair of confused blue eyes looking at him, and his face was full of pity.
"She's fine!" Somewhat embarrassed by the dome's direct gaze, the man got up and hurried out of the cell.
An old woman came from the shadows, holding a bowl of medicine in her hand, and helped Qiong'er to sit up and drink the medicine.
They are still like this, each time beating themselves half to death. But when he was about to die, they would come to his rescue. I guess they didn't get what they wanted from their mouths, and they were reluctant to kill themselves, right?
'Who sent you?' ’
'Who is your master?' ’
'Where are all your people?' ’
'Who is the capital contacting?' ’
Is the Xue family involved? ’
'The old lady of the Yue family is your contact?' ’
Qiong'er closed her eyes and felt the rapid spread of the medicinal power, her body became more and more soft, and she didn't have the strength to leave this bed, let alone get out of this prison. The old woman's daily repetition of the question echoed in her ears, and she slowly fell asleep again, this was the only way she could avoid punishment, hoping that this time she would not be woken up by cold water.
In the imperial study, Zhao Ping hurriedly came to the side of the imperial case, "Your Majesty, that girl has fallen asleep again!" ”
Emperor Yuewen raised his head from the pile of musicals, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and looked to his side, "Still didn't say anything?" ”
Zhao Ping lowered his body and shook his head.
"You're so well trained?" Emperor Yuewen sighed with emotion, "After the trial, I don't believe she can survive!" ”
Zhao Ping frowned, and after a moment of confusion, he still said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the Xue family and the Duke of Loulan are going to get married." I heard that General Xue liked her very much, and even with such a scandal, General Xue insisted on marrying without disgust, and advanced the marriage by two years.
Emperor Yuewen raised his eyebrows, tsk! That Xue An
Standing up with the imperial case, he walked slowly to a room in the side hall, looked at a beautiful picture on the wall with his hands behind his back, and was silent for a long time.
If it weren't for Xue Sanlang's concern for his children's affection, in order to get back the imperial sister, he actually united with Beibi, pitted Hulansi, the king of Loulan, and destroyed the harmonious relationship between Loulan and the Yue Dynasty. He will not be angry, copy the Xue family, a century-old famous general, and make himself lack a capable general to guard the border.
Over the years, I had to cautiously use the Yue clan to contact the Yue Dynasty and Loulan, just for fear that there would be a big move in the north and pass through Loulan to take the capital. As a result, the Yue family and Nahulan Jue became more and more greedy and arrogant, not only giving her all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry every year, but also sending her daughter back, and she asked for peace as the daughter of the imperial sister.
There are also those old guys, who caught Princess Loulan and sent a fake one, planning to disturb the relationship between Loulan and the Yue Dynasty, so that they are tired of dealing with all kinds of border passes, and they are unable to pay attention to them.
Hmph, Emperor Yuewen's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, he has endured it for so many years, and he has accumulated the strength for so many years, it is time to calculate the debts of these years.
The news sent by the imperial sister at the end of the year allowed her to keep the Xue family and leave a bloodline for Xue San.
In order to repay the royal sister's sacrifice to him back then, he did it.
He exiled Xue An to the border pass, just to sharpen the Xue family's sharpness, and also to show other border guards that although you are not benevolent, you are not unjust.
Now it's time for the Xue family to repay me!
"Zhao Ping, send a decree to Xue An to enter the palace immediately!" Emperor Yuewen's mocking voice sounded slowly, and he glanced at the beauty picture on the wall again and turned to leave, "Exile people to Beipi Yin City, send the dark line to guard the side to find the people who are in contact, and follow the vine to touch the melons, I will pull them all out this time!" ”
……
The dome with shackles walked with heavy steps, walking above the bustling street market. She suddenly understood why her treatment had suddenly improved these days, the food was much more exquisite, there was a lot of meat, and she was full. The old lady also often changed her dressing, and the wound healed quickly, except for some pain in some places and bleeding from time to time, it was still okay to walk.
It turned out that they were going to send themselves away!
Goodbye Day, accustomed to the dark dome is a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the cloak can also cover the discomfort of the eyes. It's already winter, and Qiong'er's thin jacket is not enough to shield her from the wind and cold, making her shiver a little when she walks.
Suddenly, the sound of drums came from a distance, and the two guards guarding the dome pulled her to hide on the side of the road.
A team of high-headed horses walked slowly, led by a man dressed in red, with red belt and hair, and slightly dark skin revealing spirits. The black horse has a large red silk flower on its head, showing its joy.
An old soldier smashed his mouth and widened his eyes, "General Xue has married Princess Loulan in the end!" The surprise in his voice was undisguised.
Another slightly younger soldier laughed and mocked the lewdness, "Such a beauty, such an identity, so many dowries, it is Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is willing to marry!" ”
"Hey, the Xue family has just been restored to the title, and an empty general doesn't know what the princess has taken a fancy to him, so if you want me to choose Yue Jialang!" The old soldier had a clear understanding of the shape in the capital, and raised his eyebrows and glanced at the woman behind him who was not moving.
"O life-saving grace! It is said that this princess was rescued by General Xue and escorted all the way to the capital. After recuperating from their injuries in Tianliu Mountain for more than a year, maybe these two people have already hooked up. Hehe, you said that woman lost her body and heart, if she doesn't marry Xue Jialang, who else will she marry? ”
"You're right! Tut-tut, Xue Jialang is so good! Not only did he succeed in bringing back the real princess, he preserved the relationship between Loulan and the Yue Dynasty, he made great contributions to restore the title of the Xue family, and he also hugged the beauty, which is really a double win! ”
"Well, this man is a character. The Xue family was down, he was exiled, and he could take such a good opportunity to return to Beijing. You said that he saved the princess and hid it for more than a year. I just sent the princess back when the fake princess chose a son-in-law, and if he didn't have the intention of seducing the princess, I don't believe it! The young soldier, visibly jealous of the young general, snorted to the ground.
The long procession of marriages passed, and Qiong'er withdrew her gaze, dragged her still somewhat limp body with an expressionless face, and was led by two soldiers with ropes like donkeys and horses in the direction of the city gate.
