Chapter 844: Dark Night
Coming out of the palace, Chu Jingshu, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't hold on to the maids, and the maids smeared medicated oil and poured hot water to give her medicine.
"Mother, you must take care of yourself!" The maids saw that her situation was not good, and couldn't help but persuade her to take care, Chu Jingshu nodded, she now understands, marrying far away to Dongjing, these people who accompany her to marry to Jingguo are her responsibility, she is good, they are good, if she has a good person, where should these people go?
If she has a son and a half daughter, even if she dies, they will still be loyal to them, and there is a hope, if God does not have mercy, and she does not even have children, then they ...... Slowly closed his eyes and blinked back the tears in his eyelashes.
Back to the palace, there is a manager to greet her, this is her room, although her husband is a prince, but the mother died early, the foreign family is weak, the prince is not rich, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, so there are many people who come to Dongguan with her to marry, and they are all arranged to be enough.
"Prince and Princess, the dish you ordered before going out, the phoenix returned, and the cook couldn't catch the phoenix."
Chu Jingshu was stunned for a moment before she reacted, he was talking about Chu Mingxin, "Really?" Let's change the menu! ”
"Yes." After the manager finished speaking, he bowed down to see her off, Chu Jingshu returned to the house, changed into a homely embroidered jacket, and the maids waited for her to sit on the couch, and she sighed heavily.
"Master, why do you want to help Grandma Shi?" A maid asked puzzled.
"Anyway, if I don't help her, people will question me for helping her. Why bother to bear the charge in vain and do nothing? You also heard what the third princess said, hit a rake! Obviously, she did it, so it's not surprising that she pushed it on Chu Mingxin, but she also pushed it on me. ”
The maids couldn't help but be frightened when they thought of that scene, "Fortunately, the king and queen are reasonable. ”
"yes!" Chu Jingshu held the teacup and warmed her cold fingertips with the heat of the teacup.
Are kings and queens sensible? She is a long-distance married woman, and she has no help except her husband. What is her husband capable of? The king and his wife knew very well, otherwise, they would not have let her marry him.
"After all! Fortunately, the third princess is too big, if she is shrewd. The medicine used is our Dayan's medicine. Then we're going to jump into the water. It's all unreasonable. ”
That's right. Everyone agreed.
On the other side, the head of the palace paced back to his hut, the house in Shangdu was somewhat similar to Dayan's house, but not as atmospheric as Dayan's house. However, because it was cold, all the houses had heating kangs, and when the door was opened, his mother-in-law stood by the kang in the house to cook things, and when she saw him coming back, she hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.
"Give." The chubby woman walked over and took out a bottle of medicine from the purse on the side of her skirt, "Su Huwei's family gave it." ”
The manager took a look at it, it was a bottle of ointment to wipe his hands and feet, pulled out the plug of the bottle, and immediately smelled a fragrance. "Good stuff!"
"I said I bought it at the shop in Medicine Valley when I went out." The wife of the manager brought out the noodle soup in the pot, "Oh, eat it quickly!" They are all waiting for you. As he spoke, he pouted to the room next to him.
"Then I'll go first! I'll eat it when I get back. The manager said that he was about to get up, but his wife pressed his shoulders and was not allowed to get up. Eat and then come, you men! When I'm busy, I don't know how to take care of myself, hum! If you don't eat and just pass by, you must be busy until you finish your work, and then you remember that you haven't eaten. ”
The manager took the chopsticks handed by his wife, buried himself in eating, and ate until he was sweating all over his face, so that he could finish eating that big bowl of noodles.
"I'm done eating, I'll go first!" The manager looked at his wife's background and whispered, seeing that his wife was brushing the pot and didn't pay attention to himself, he carefully pushed away the table and chairs, opened the door curtain and went to the room on the side.
There was only a bed and a cage in the house, and there was no one in sight, but he walked to the wall with a familiar way, stretched out his hand to push the cage, pushed it towards the wall, and opened a small door on the wall.
He walked over quickly, and the people guarding the door saw him, smiled and greeted the inside, and the people inside laughed, "But it's finally here!" ”
"I must have been pressed by my sister-in-law to finish lunch before I was allowed to come down, right?"
This underground secret room is not very big, there is a wooden table in it, and there are seven or eight people sitting at the table, all of them are the emperor's people, since Dongjing is trying his best to marry Dayan, then of course he can't let go of this good opportunity to install people in Dongjingguo.
Chu Mingxin's marriage was arranged by her father, but what about Chu Jingshu? The emperor named her the county lord, so that he could insert people into it in a clear and straightforward manner, why not? The new King Lu thought that he had no last resort, but he didn't know that he was a bridge for the emperor.
"Chu Mingxin has been attacked." The man sitting at the table sipping melon seeds said.
"Didn't you say she's safe?" The manager was stunned and asked hurriedly.
Several men smiled and looked at each other, "Boss, you forgot!" Between Dongjing and my Dayan, there are still Qiang tribes and a few small tribes! Even if she leaves Dongjing, she has to avoid these people, in fact, even if she enters Dayan, she may not be safe. ”
She is pregnant with the child of the third prince! Even if the third princess wanted to let her go, those people in her mother's family would not be willing, how could they allow Chu Mingxin to give birth to the son of the third prince and compete with the son born to the third prince and concubine in the future.
"Let's ignore her for now, she has King Lu's guard, and she wants to be safe." "Let's think about it first, how to spread our manpower." ”
This is the main purpose of their visit to Yassukuni.
In the border town of Dongjingguo, the wind and snow are still continuous, and the guards originally wanted to let Chu Mingxin have a good baby, but the scouts found that the people of the third prince and concubine chased after them, and they had to leave in a hurry, and the waiting maids and grandmothers were so tired that they were half dead, Chu Mingxin was also tired enough, and he also took the fetal medicine, but his stomach still ached, and the doctor said that she had taken the medicine and should be in bed to rest, but how could they have that time to rest.
I got in the car before dawn and hurried across the border all the way. Enter the Qiang Department.
The guard on the horse looked behind and sighed, "There's still a long way to go!" ”
"yes!" I don't know when I will be able to return to Dayan.
Night falls, and the four fields are vast.
Because they were in a hurry, they only wanted to distance themselves from the pursuers, but they forgot to send someone to take some accommodation first, and they missed the accommodation this night, so they could only sleep in the wilderness.
The guards of King Lu's Mansion are very experienced in camping, and when King Lu first selected the guards for his little daughter, he specially selected them. These people are all from King Lu's elite barracks. Although his Zhuangzi were ruined, fortunately, the best people were transferred to his side to wait, thinking that his youngest daughter was marrying a foreign country, he did not know the situation in the country. But thinking that the king of Dongjing has several sons. It's not too young. This dispute must be very fierce, in order to protect the safety of his daughter, he allocated a few elite soldiers to his daughter as guards.
Chu Mingxin has been pampered since he was a child. Although she once traveled alone in Dayan Shuzhou, but at that time, she was not pregnant with a child, and there were no pursuers behind her, and now there are people behind her who are chasing her and asking for her life, and this in her stomach is constantly tormenting her, and in just a few days, she is like a flower out of the water is about to wither.
The maids looked anxious, but there was nothing they could do, because even they themselves were very uncomfortable.
The boys raised the bonfire, the mothers began to cook and eat, and the guards patrolled the surroundings for fear that the enemy would attack at night.
Chu Ming wanted to get out of the car and change her clothes, but her hands and feet were soft, so the grandmothers could only help her down and wait for her to change her clothes.
The little ones had to move the car to save the smell from making her more uncomfortable, and the mothers divided into two groups, one to wait for the people, and the other to clean up the pile.
The maids pinched their noses and got out of the car, and finally moved the car to a good position, and they got in the car again and took out the incense, for fear that the smell would be big, and when the tenth aunt and grandmother came back, they smelled the smell and vomited.
Finally tidyed up, everyone ate hot meals, Chu Mingxin was also sleepy, holding the maid's hand back to the car to rest, it seems that everything is calm! The commander of the guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't want to suddenly change in the middle of the night.
An arrow burst through the air, and with a pop, it hit the ground in front of the campfire, and the people sitting on both sides jumped to the side in fright.
"Alert, they're coming!" As he spoke, he drew his knife to take precautions.
Under the firelight, the figures were mixed, the sound of sword strikes was everywhere, the people hiding in the car and in the dark of the carriage were trembling, the guards mingled with the people of the third prince and princess, and there were arrows dodging from time to time in the distance, and the arrows were brought with flames, and a hit caused a fire, so that the people who were hiding had to leave the shelter and flee in all directions, Chu Mingxin was surrounded by the maids, and hid to the side of the guard commander.
Just when Chu Mingxin thought it was safe, an arrow came towards her, she looked up in horror as the arrow got closer and closer, and a scream sounded in her ears.
Princess Lu sat up suddenly, exhaling heavily, she raised her hand to cover her heart, and felt that the heart in her chest was about to jump out of her mouth.
"Princess? Are you alright? The grandmother of the night pounced on her, and Princess Lu grabbed her hand, "I dreamed of my heart, I dreamed of my heart." Princess Lu would only keep repeating this sentence, Mama frowned, and moved the hand that was tightly grasped by Princess Lu, it hurt, but she couldn't break away, Princess Lu seemed to feel that she wanted to break away, and she held on harder.
"Princess, don't worry, Grandma Ten is enjoying the blessings of Dongjing!" Mama thought that Princess Lu missed her daughter too much, so she was like this, and she had dreamed of it once before!
"No, no, it's not." Princess Lu shook her head, "I dreamed that there was danger in my heart, someone was chasing her, and someone wanted her life!" ”
Mama lowered her head and sighed, I heard that the third prince cherished the tenth aunt and grandmother very much, and had a conflict with the third prince and the third princess for the tenth aunt and grandmother, the third prince and concubine gave birth to a son, and her own tenth aunt and grandmother were pregnant with a child, can the third prince and concubine allow the tenth aunt to give birth to this child?
If a favored concubine gives birth to a son, it will pose a great threat to the sister-in-law who is too close in age, this truth is the same no matter where it is placed.
Could it be because he was ruthless and treated the concubine like this, so he was even more worried about the situation of the tenth aunt and grandmother? (To be continued......)
