Chapter 61: Baby
Yu Ruoxu couldn't tell whether she was in reality or in a dream, she only felt chills all over her body, but her forehead seemed to be burned by fire, and it was amazingly hot. But the most painful thing was the right shoulder, the endless pain was like endless torture, and she experienced for the first time that life was worse than death.
She dreamed that Tuoba Yuan pounced on her viciously, gnawing at her like a wild beast, and then the scene turned, and she was thrown to the ground like a broken sack of burlap, and then insulted and trampled on at will. She bit her lower lip and forced her tears back, but she couldn't help but think that if Liang Jin knew, he would come to save her, right?
Liang Jin must also be looking for her, so she can't die yet, she promised him that she would wait for him to come back.
When Yu Ruoxu woke up, she was startled by the scene in front of her.
He still slept in a tent with a cold-water handkerchief on his forehead. She looked around, it was a lot more rudimentary than the tent she had seen, but it was always clean and tidy.
Yu Ruoxu wanted to get up, but as soon as she moved, there was a sharp pain in her right shoulder, she couldn't help baring her teeth, reached out and touched it, only to find that the shoulder was dressed with medicine for bruises.
"Are you awake?" The curtain was lifted, and a maid-like man walked in and smiled softly at her, "I finally woke up, the doctor said that you were very sick this time, and you almost died." ”
Yu Ruoxu opened her mouth and asked with difficulty, "...... are you?"
"My name is Zhu'er, and I am a maid brought by the queen from the capital." Zhu'er gave birth to a well-behaved and lovely melon seed face, with a gentle voice, which made people feel a little good, "The queen saw that you were so sick, and thought that we were all daughters of the Han family, so let me take care of you." “
Yu Ruoxu nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness." ”
Zhu'er picked up the warm medicine from the head of the bed and handed it to her carefully, "This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor, you should drink it quickly." “
Yu Ruoxu took the medicine bowl with her left hand, and before Zhu'er could react, she poured it into her stomach in one go. Zhu'er was dumbfounded, "You're amazing...... It is said that this medicine is filled with soybean herbs, which is extremely bitter. “
Yu Ruoxu's face wrinkled, "...... It's quite bitter. ”
Seeing that she looked a little wolf, Zhu'er couldn't help but laugh in a low voice, and hurriedly handed her a glass of water, "Rinse your mouth quickly." ”
Yu Ruoxu was a little moved by her thoughtfulness, took a few sips from the water glass, and said with a smile, "Thank you." ”
Zhu'er glanced at her a few times, and suddenly asked, "I don't hear your accent like a person from the capital." ”
Yu Ruoxu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "My ancestral home is Langzhong, and I moved to the capital with my father half a year ago. “
"I see." Zhu'er nodded thoughtfully, "Then why did you come to Liaodong?" How did he become a prisoner of the British king? “
Yu Ruoxu hesitated to say anything about Liang Jin, and only said vaguely, "I came to Liaodong to find a friend, but I met Tuoba...... The Khan raided and annexed the city, and we ...... Lost, and then taken captive here. “
"I see." Zhu'er didn't continue to ask, and comforted, "Don't worry, I'll tell the queen about these things, maybe the queen will help you find him." “
Yu Ruoxu was silent, her thick eyelashes covered the love in her eyes, and Zhu'er quickly changed the topic because she was a little sad, "By the way, did you know King Ning before?" ”
Yu Ruoxu was stunned, "King Ning? ”
"Yes." Zhu'er nodded, "That day, King Ning suddenly hurried to the queen and begged the queen to save a female slave girl in the hands of the king. The queen was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't help King Ning kneel in front of the queen and beg bitterly, so she had to bite the bullet. “
Yu Ruoxu's heart moved, "The queen he went to beg?" ”
She was still a little strange at that time, she was just a little captive, why would she alarm Princess Jiangcheng to run away in person. It turned out that Tuoba Yu heard the movement and begged her to come forward.
"Yes, it's the first time I've seen King Ning look so anxious." Zhu'er looked at her with a somewhat meaningful gaze, "Is it difficult to ......"
"You're mistaken." Yu Ruoxu sensed the tentative meaning in her tone, and her voice turned cold, "It's His Royal Highness King Ning's compassionate heart, pity us captive women, and it has nothing to do with other things." ”
Zhu'er knew that she was a little speechless, and said curtly, "Also, King Ning is notoriously kind-hearted...... It's a pity that Xianbei people are martial arts and don't know how to cherish a benevolent prince like King Ning. ”
After that, Zhu'er smiled, "You can rest first, and I'll go talk to the queen." ”
Yu Ruoxu nodded, "Thank you." ”
Pearls helped her lie down, and then went out. Yu Ruoxu didn't feel sleepy at all, and with the words just now, she felt that there were thousands of flavors in her heart.
When she first met in the restaurant, she knew that Tuoba Yu was not an ordinary hunter. But he didn't expect that he turned out to be His Royal Highness King Ning of Xianbei.
When they met again outside Tuoba Yuan's tent, she could see that his life was not easy. Father Khan's inattention, his brother's disdain and suppression, coupled with his poor health, his bloodline is not noble, he can be regarded as struggling, and every step is cautious, like walking on thin ice.
But even so, he was willing to beg Princess Jiangcheng to save her life.
At that time, seeing Tuoba Yu wanting to speak in front of Tuoba Yuan, Yu Ruoxu's heart was full of anger and despair. She thought that Tuoba Yu would not save herself, but she didn't expect to survive in the end, thanks to him.
A few days later, when Yu Ruoxu's injuries improved, Zhu'er took her to Princess Jiangcheng's tent for a formal meeting. Yu Ruoxu changed into the clothes of a maid, walked up to Princess Jiangcheng step by step, and saluted respectfully, "Greetings to the queen." ”
"Get up." Princess Jiangcheng said lightly, "There is no one else here, so there is no need to be polite." ”
Yu Ruoxu sighed, this is the real beauty, every time you meet, you will have an amazing feeling.
Princess Jiangcheng wore a snow-white fox fur today, and wore a step swaying inlaid with rubies on her head, with a noble bearing, like a Nine Heavens Xuannu, which made people dare not blaspheme.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little awkward in her heart, compared to Princess Jiangcheng, she was like the most inconspicuous wildflower on the roadside, and she was a beautiful snow lotus blooming on the top of the mountain.
No wonder...... For so many years, Liang Jin has always missed her.
"I heard that you came to Liaodong to find your friend?" Princess Jiangcheng asked, "Then do you know where your friend is now?" ”
"In the city of Bingzhou." Yu Ruoxu replied, "Ask the queen ......"
Princess Jiangcheng sighed, "I know what you want to say. But Xianbei has never had a practice of letting the captives go back, and this time I saved you from the hands of the British king, which is already an exception. ”
Yu Ruoxu stiffened, and even her voice trembled, "What does the queen mean...... Can I never go back? ”
Princess Jiangcheng looked at her disappointed look and whispered, "Don't worry. ”
Yu Ruoxu glanced up at her, only to see a trace of trance flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her usual cold color, "You stay by my side to take care of Yue'er first, the coming day will be long, and you must live first." ”
"That's what the queen said. , the folk girl understands. Yu Ruoxu nodded.
Yes, you have to live first.
"You said you have a small character, what is your surname?" Princess Jiangcheng asked again.
"The maiden's surname is Yu."
Princess Jiangcheng was stunned, and the hand that picked up the water cup paused, "Yu? Who are you, Lord Yu Zhongjun? ”
Yu Ruoxu knew that she couldn't hide it, "It's the father of the people's daughter." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Yu's daughter." Princess Jiangcheng suddenly realized and smiled slightly, "No wonder...... I felt at the time that you were not the daughter of an ordinary family. “
"The queen has won the prize." Yu Ruoxu lowered her head, and Princess Jiangcheng asked again, "Then the friend you came to Liaodong to find...... Could it be Miss Yang? ”
Yu Ruoxu was stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously, "Exactly." ”
At this time, Yang Yuqing's identity is safer than Liang Jin.
"Miss Yang and I haven't seen each other for many years......," Princess Jiangcheng seemed to fall into a memory, "I haven't seen her since she moved to Liaodong with General Yang." Later, he was ordered to marry the Khan, and he only met in a hurry at the post station in Bingzhou City. ”
"Miss Yang is a heroine, she goes into battle with her father, and she is bold and does not lose to men." Yu Ruoxu said in a low voice.
Princess Jiangcheng hesitated a little and said, "Merge Zhou City...... Are you okay? ”
Yu Ruoxu was stunned, she didn't ask about the capital, she didn't ask the Yang family, but asked her if it was good to merge with the state...... She understood a little in her heart, and her voice was a little astringent, "Don't worry, the queen is fine." ”
"Yes......" Princess Jiangcheng muttered, "that's good." ”
Yu Ruoxu felt a little panicked in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, "The folk girl retired first." ”
Princess Jiangcheng nodded and called, "Zhu'er, take her to Yue'er." ”
Yu Ruoxu was taken to the tent next to her by Zhu'er, and the nurse was coaxing the sleeping Tuoba Yue. Yu Ruoxu had never seen such a small baby, and she was a little at a loss for a while.
"Don't be afraid, the little prince is very well-behaved." The nurse is a local Xianbei woman, and Zhu'er calls her Dugu Auntie. It is said that her mother is Tuoba Yuan's nurse, and she is also an old man of the Xianbei royal family. Aunt Dugu is in her early thirties this year, with two children at home, with a round face, smiling at any time, and looking quite kind.
Yu Ruoxu had an injury to her shoulder, so she naturally couldn't hold the child, so she could only be a helper for Aunt Dugu. Sometimes Zhu'er would also come to help, and the three of them gathered around a small child, and the small tent suddenly became lively.
Tuoba Yue is an extremely energetic baby, no matter day or night, as long as he cries, it will definitely shake the earth and make everyone around him quarrel. And the frequency of crying is quite high, Yu Ruoxu is sometimes so tired and dizzy, and before he can close his eyes, Tuoba Yue starts crying again.
Takuba Kei seemed to like this kid very much, and would come to see him from time to time. Like Yu Ruoxu's imagination, Tuoba Gui is already full of gorgeous hair, but this grassland hero is still old and strong, and he is very energetic, and he likes to walk around with Tuoba Yue in his arms, and the sound of laughter is also earth-shattering, saying that this son is full of energy, especially like him.
Compared with Tuoba Gui's love, Princess Jiangcheng is obviously much colder. Except for the days when Tuoba Guilai came, she only came to see her son occasionally, stroked his fetal hair, and kissed his forehead at most, Yu Ruoxu had never seen Princess Jiangcheng hug him with her own hands.
She gently swayed the car, looking at Tuoba Yue's sleeping face, and felt a little nostalgic in her heart.
Tuoba Yue is very good-looking, inheriting the beauty of Princess Jiangcheng and the resolute facial lines of Tuoba Gui, the eyes are the same as those of his brothers, they are also dark blue, and the small nose and mouth are almost exactly the same as Princess Jiangcheng. Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, and said softly, "When you grow up, you will definitely be the best-looking man on the grassland." ”
"You think so, too?" A female voice came from behind her, Yu Ruoxu frowned, and saw a fiery red figure appear in front of her.
