Rao is Caiwei has always been calm and calm, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be a little afraid, and hurriedly asked how Gan Tang was doing.

"Fortunately, the girl and I soaked in the sea all night, although we were rescued, but we both started a high fever, the high fever did not go away, the family did not have the money to ask us for medicine, just picked some herbs and boiled into water to feed us, seeing that there was no effect, but became more and more sick, afraid that we would die in their home is unlucky, so they threw us to the beach again."

"And how did we get here?"

"Mrs. Qian has a personal maid, her hometown happens to be in that small fishing village, because her mother is seriously ill, begging Mrs. Qian to give her a few days off to go home to visit, she went to the beach to pick up oysters on the reef by the sea, and happened to see us lying on the beach. She had seen us in Jinling City, and knowing your identity, she quickly called her brother to carry us to her house to take care of us, and sent a letter to Mrs. Qian, and then we were personally taken to this Qian mansion by Mrs. Qian. ”

As soon as Cai Wei heard that this was Qian Muzhai's mansion, she guessed that they could come here, mostly because of Liu Rushi, who had just married Qian Muzhai and became his stepwife.

Although she and Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun only got along for three days when they were in Jinling, they all had a sense of seeing each other and hating each other. Later, the two of them married Qian Muzhai and Hou Chaozong respectively, and Cai Wei was busy helping Qin Fei with various affairs, so there was less contact with each other, but she didn't expect to be saved by her this time.

Gan Tang continued: "Mrs. Qian took us back and asked the doctor for medicine, and took care of it very carefully, because I was only suffering from the cold of the sea, and the fever subsided within a few days after taking the medicine. But the girl not only suffered from the cold, but because of the soaking in the seawater, the unhealed arrow wound on your arm flares up again, and the fever does not go away. The doctor said that you had worked too hard before, too much effort, and too much painstaking effort, so the disease should be cured slowly, but seeing that more than 20 days have passed, you are still unconscious, and the slave and maid are simply worried to death......"

Gan Tang couldn't help but sobbed as he spoke.

When Cai Wei heard that she had been sick for more than 20 days, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't know what the situation was outside, so she was very uneasy. was busy with Gan Tang to talk to Liu Rushi, and said that she was awake and wanted to thank Mrs. Qian for saving her life.

In just a moment, Liu Rushi rushed in like a gust of wind, holding a very delicate food box in her hand.

She saw Cai Wei leaning on the head of the bed, although her face was pale and haggard, she was still looking at her with a smile in her eyes, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she choked up: "Sister Princess, Rushi never imagined that he would see him again in the future, it would be such a scene." ”

Cai Wei winked at her and smiled, "As long as you and I can see each other again, it's already a blessing." I also want to thank my sister for her life, if it weren't for my sister and your maid to save me, I'm afraid that I would have returned to the underworld by this time. ”

Liu Rushi sat on the side of her bed, held her hand, and said with a shameful face: "Sister Princess, don't say that, that day in Jinling City, before the Tartars arrived in the city, we didn't say goodbye and fled in panic." As an official of the imperial court, my husband is really ashamed of the imperial court. Although I married a chicken and a dog, I had no choice but to follow it, but when I was leaving, I was forced by my husband's life, and I didn't say a word to the princess's sister and said goodbye, which was really a piece of affection that my sister treated me before. ”

It turned out that after Yangzhou was besieged that day, although the Tartars had not yet reached Jinling, there were already many officials in Jinling City who were greedy for life and afraid of death. Anyway, at that time, Shi Daolin was no longer in Jinling, and the king of Linchuan fell ill in bed, and he didn't know what to do, and some officials were confident that no one was in charge, and they rushed to pack up and leave Jinling with their families.

In fact, Cai Wei knew the movements of these officials at the time, and Qiu Wu also asked her if she wanted to arrest those officials back, but she shook her head. Rather than letting these unmotivated national anvils stay in Jinling City and cause chaos when the time comes, it is better to go with them, so as to save them from doing any evil things such as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and opening the door to the city.

Cai Wei put her left hand on the back of her hand, and said in a weak voice: "My own sister, why do you say this, can I still not know your suffering?" ”

Liu Rushi was originally a woman with a bold heart, and she knew that Cai Wei really didn't care about this, so she also smiled: "The doctor said that you will wake up in the next two days, if you wake up, I will give you some millet porridge first, which is the best way to nourish the stomach." Let's take a sip and try it! ”

Liu Rushi personally fed her a bowl of millet porridge, fed her a cup of warm water and rinsed her mouth, sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Cai Wei and said: "Sister Princess must have something to ask me if she wants to come, if you feel that you are in good spirits now, what do you ask, I know everything, I have nothing to say, but if you feel tired, you might as well rest for a while, and when you are well, it will not be too late for me to tell you." ”

Although Cai Wei felt a little sleepy, she still shook her head, "Sister Liu, I have been ill for more than 20 days, and I don't know what happened outside, and I ask my sister to tell me that since the fall of Jinling, what is the situation in Jiangnan now?" ”

Liu Rushi sighed and said: "A few days after the fall of Jinling, the Tartars began to spread the news that Emperor Lin De and the Empress Dowager Sun, as well as the clan ministers who followed them to Yunnan, had all been captured by the Ying Prince of the Tartars, Alange. ”

"What?" This news was so shocking that Cai Wei couldn't help but exclaim, but she felt that something was wrong with her. After all, Empress Dowager Sun brought 100,000 soldiers to escort her and Emperor Lin De to flee to Yunnan, and there were local garrisons in Yunnan, and on the way from Jinling to Yunnan, there were two large provinces of Guizhou and Sichuan between the Tartar army of Alange.

She hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the Tartars have already invaded Sichuan and Guizhou provinces?" ”

Liu Rushi shook her head, "That's what the Tartar said, some people say that this news is true, but some people say that it is false, and now the war is in chaos, all kinds of rumors are spreading, and I don't know who is true and who is false." And rumors that say—"

Seeing that she wanted to speak, Cai Wei asked, "What did you say?" But what does it have to do with my Highness? ”

Liu Rushi nodded, "We heard the news earlier and knew that His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan had been guarding Jinling for seventeen days without any reinforcements coming to support. Even when the city was finally broken, it also hit the Tartars hard, and even the Prince Yu of the Tartars was seriously injured. But after the city was broken, His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan was nowhere to be found, and we all hoped that His Highness would be safe and sound, and that he would not fall into the hands of the Tartars. ”

A few days later, a group of Japanese invaders attacked the harbor of Jingjiang Province at night, and seeing that the defenders were defeated, the harbor was about to fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders. The next day, the defenders of Jingjiang learned that those people were the last surviving soldiers to stick to Jinling City with His Royal Highness King Linchuan. They said that when the city was broken, because they did not want His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan to fall into the hands of the Tartars, they simply protected His Royal Highness who was injured and escaped from the waterway. ”

But before the big guy was glad that His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan was still alive, he heard another bad news, His Royal Highness was commanding the soldiers to fight against the Japanese Kou, and was hit by a cannon shot by the head of the Kou, and fell into the sea with Master Zhou, and his life and death are unknown. The soldiers and civilians of Jingjiang Mansion have been searching in the sea for more than half a month, but they have not found the slightest trace of the two of them. ”

"But I didn't know that the one who fell into the water with His Royal Highness actually had the princess's sister and your personal maid." Liu Rushi knew that the Linchuan King and his wife had a deep affection for each other, so she was not surprised at all that Cai Wei might be on that boat with the Linchuan King, she just wondered why those people only said that they were going to search for the King of Linchuan who fell into the sea, but they didn't mention the Princess of Linchuan.

Cai Wei knew that she must have a doubt in her heart, and thought for a while: "The reason why those searching soldiers didn't mention that Princess Linchuan also fell into the sea was because they didn't know that my princess was also on the ship at that time, because I had been by His Royal Highness's side in another capacity for a month. ”

Liu Rushi saw that she didn't have the slightest look of anxiety and sadness on her face when she heard that her husband was still missing, and when she heard her words again, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that the princess's sister has been staying in Jinling City and has been working hard with His Royal Highness for those seventeen days and nights?" ”

Cai Wei smiled, "Although my sister is a woman, she is quite chivalrous, although she is shallow, she can also speak deeply. To tell you the truth, since His Highness guarded the city, I have been disguising myself as a man and accompanying His Highness as Master Zhou. Because he can't leave me, and I can't leave him, and we're all going to be together no matter what. On the night of the fierce battle with the Japanese Kou, it was to save me from falling into the water, and he also jumped down, as well as the silly girl Gantang. ”

Because the fact that she pretended to defend the city in the name of Qin Fei was a big deal, once it was leaked out, it was known that the real King of Linchuan had left the city before the Tartars arrived in Jinling, which was too damaging to his reputation. Although she tried her best to tell Liu Rushi the truth, she had to lie about the key points.

Liu Rushi immediately understood the helplessness of this princess. She knew that there was a think tank Master Zhou by King Linchuan's side, but only today did she know that the so-called Master Zhou was actually Princess Zhou. Although she had only been with this princess for three days before, she knew that she was amazingly talented.

If such an amazing talent can only be locked in the deep boudoir, doing some needlework, housework, and husbands and children, it is really tyrannical. The current world is not as good as the atmosphere of the Northern Qin Dynasty before, and all kinds of strict rules have been set for women. If she stays in the army as a woman, it will not only be inconvenient, but also her reputation will not be good. This is why she can only disguise herself as a man, accompany her husband and help him with various affairs, no wonder she was rescued from the sea in men's clothes instead of women's clothes.

Liu Rushi sighed in her heart, not only admiring her imitation of Mulan and guarding the city with her husband in disguise, but also admired the broad-mindedness of the king of Linchuan and his wife, and was willing to let his wife show her talent in front of the public, not ashamed, but proud. How many men in the world can treat their wives as equals?

It's a pity that this highness doesn't know where he is at this time, whether he is still in the world. Liu Rushi couldn't help asking: "Fortunately, Princess Tianxing and Gan Tang were rescued, what about His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan?" Does the princess know the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness? ”
