Chapter 244: Misunderstanding
"Well, almost...... Sister, don't think about it anymore, if you can't let go of it in your heart, just stay until tomorrow, let's go to Baogen's grave to worship again, don't toss it today......" Ziyan persuaded, she knew in her heart that if she couldn't let go, but her physical condition was really bad, so she could only persuade her first.
Ruoan nodded, lay back on the bed, closed her eyes very tiredly, and Ziyan said when she saw this, "Let's rest for a while...... I'm going to get the medicine......"
Ruo'an nodded, and when Ziyan brought the medicine and took off the gauze wrapped around her hand to change the dressing, Ruo'an realized how serious the injury on her hand was......
Although some knuckles are fixed by wooden strips, it can still be seen that it is bent and deformed, the skin is red and swollen and shiny, and some broken skin is twisted in some, so it is not ugly. She tried to flex her fingers, but the reward was a piercing pain, because it was so painful that her fingers couldn't stop spasming.
Ziyan carefully cleaned her wounds, every time the gauze touched it, it was like a pinprick, Ruo'an bit her lip, she didn't say a word, her eyes were red, and Ziyan didn't feel distressed when she saw it.
After finally changing the medicine and barely eating something, Ziyan asked Ruo'an to rest, but Ruo'an shook his head: "I can't sleep...... Come with me to the courtyard and sit down......"
"Now? It's all this time? β
"Don't go to the yard, even sit at the door...... I feel depressed and want to breathe......"
Ziyan looked at Ruo'an's earnest gaze, and couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to move a stool and put it on the porch in front of the door, and took a soft cushion to spread it, and then helped Ruoan off the bed.
The wind at night was slightly cool, dispelling the heat of the day, Ruo'an sat on the chair, looking at the dim courtyard in a daze, Ziyan was afraid that she would catch a cold. took a thin blanket and put it on her shoulder, and at this moment, there was a sound in front of the courtyard, Ziyan took a few steps forward and looked, "Xu is the prince, they are back...... I'll go and see ......" and then walked towards the front yard, and after a short time he hurriedly ran back and said, "The prince is back......"
Ruo'an came to the spirit and got up to greet her, Ziyan hurriedly supported her, and before the two of them could walk down the steps, He Qishan pushed Leng Chen and walked in.
"How did you get out?" Leng Chen saw Ruo'an standing at the door, and asked very distressedly. Ruoan shook his head: "I'm fine......"
"The night breeze is cool, Madame should go into the house......" He Qishan saluted Ruo'an.
Leng Chen also urged: "Yes, let's go in quickly......"
Ruoan was helpless, so she had to be helped by Ziyan and slowly walked into the room. When he went to see He Qishan again, he was carrying Leng Chen on his back and preparing to enter the house. It's a pity that he is weak and can't withstand Leng Chen's weight. Unsteady footsteps. Staggered and fell to the side, Ziyan rushed forward and grabbed him, and the words of concern came to his mouth, but he didn't say it.
"There is a ...... of labor" He Qishan responded, and with the help of Ziyan, he carried Leng Chen into the room. Ruo'an helped Leng Chen sit down and asked, "What about Father-in-law Yanlu?" Why didn't they come back together? β
"I left him outside the city to deal with the aftermath, and he didn't come back with us......" Leng Chen responded.
Ruo'an immediately understood in her heart, and she asked slowly, "Baogen...... Is it already buried? β
"Hmm......" Leng Chen nodded, looking slightly tired. He Qishan said: "Let's go back and rest first, you've worked hard for the past few days......"
"Sharing worries for the prince is a matter within the responsibility of the ministers, and the prince must be concerned...... The prince and the lady rested earlier, and Weichen retired first......" He Qishan said and saluted the two, turned around and retreated, Ziyan saw that Ruo'an had something to ask, so she didn't stay long, and she also retreated with great interest.
When only Leng Chen and Ruo'an were left in the room, Ruo'an felt embarrassed for the first time, and he wanted to ask too many words, so that he didn't know which one to ask first, just when Ruo'an was stunned, Leng Chen said softly: "Help me go to the bed and sit down......
Ruo An nodded, put Leng Chen's arm on his shoulder, got up and stepped forward tremblingly, Leng Chen's legs and feet were still not very flexible, especially after being poisoned, and lying down for a long time was even weaker, Ruo An couldn't help but say when he saw him so laborious: "If it doesn't work...... I'll get someone to carry you......"
Leng Chen shook his head, and walked to the side of the bed in a daze, Ruo'an sighed lightly when he saw him covered in sweat: "Why are you so anxious? Your poison has just been purged, and it will take time to recover......"
"I can't wait that long......" Although Leng Chen's tone was not heavy, his attitude was very resolute, Ruo'an was stunned, and just wanted to ask, but he was caught off guard by Leng Chen's hand and into his arms.
"What's wrong?" Ruo An asked, Leng Chen didn't speak, just buried his head deeply, and pressed heavily on Ruo An's shoulder, full of worries.
"What's wrong? Is it because the people haven't dealt with it well? Ruo'an was a little worried, after all, she rarely saw Leng Chen like this, Leng Chen shook his head, got up and said to Ruo'an: "The villagers have already arranged it, don't worry about ......"
"Then you ......"
"I'm fine...... It's just that I feel a lot today...... I felt a little sad in my heart...... Although I didn't have much time to contact Na Baogen, it was an innocent life after all, and he went like this at such a young age, and his mother...... I always feel sorry for their family......"
"It's all because of me...... If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have suffered this fate......" Ruo An's sense of self-reproach rolled again, Leng Chen stretched out his hand to block her mouth and shook his head: "It's nothing to do with you...... If anything, it's because of me...... Even my current body is still regarded as a thorn in the flesh, and I must kill them all, everything is aimed at me, and the injuries on your body, in the final analysis, are all caused by ......me."
"No......" Ruo'an was a little anxious, seeing that Leng Chen stopped everything on him, he was afraid that he would be burdened, so he wanted to persuade him, Leng Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It also affects you......"
"No ......" Ruo An shook his head, tears almost burst out of his eyes, Leng Chen lowered his head in distress and kissed her forehead: "Follow me, you have suffered a lot, but no matter what happens, I just want you to know that everything is only temporary, and when I am strong enough, I will definitely protect your peace for the rest of your life......"
Ruo'an seemed to have something to say when he heard this, and he couldn't help but worry: "I don't want anything, just ask you to be safe by your side......"
Leng Chen didn't speak, just was silent, and Ruo'an became more and more anxious: "Let's get out of here, so that there will be no casualties, and there will be no frame-ups......"
"You are too naΓ―ve, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, as long as the forces in the palace do not fall, you will not stop fighting, and tragedies like Baogen will happen at that time......"
"But I don't want you to ......"
"I know that you are kind-hearted and unwilling to fight with others, but in order to protect your loved ones, you must be strong enough, and the previous blind forbearance can only implicate more innocent people, Baogen's matter is a lesson, and treating the enemy softly is cruel to yourself......"
"But ......"
"Stop blaming yourself and give me time...... Everything will be fine......" Leng Chen said, hugging Ruo An tighter, Ruo An was very distressed, but she didn't know what to persuade, she wanted to persuade Leng Chen to return to the mountains and forests with her, and no longer ask about the affairs of the court, but now it seems that Leng Chen has changed his mind.
Leng Chen hugged Ruo'an for a while and didn't move, Ruo'an called a few times in a low voice, but found that there was no response, only then did he realize that Leng Chen actually fell asleep on his shoulder......
Ruo'an sighed lightly and put him down on the bed, it's hard for him, since he woke up, there is no time to rest, first to save himself in the palace with the queen's mother, and then out of the Baogen family, now the murderer confesses the deceased to the ground, after all the dust settles, fatigue is inevitable, Ruo'an looked at Leng Chen's emaciated face, his heart was mixed, Condensing the princess confessed, she hadn't figured out how to open her mouth to Leng Chen, he had already taken on enough, Ruo'an really couldn't bear to make it worse.
Ruo'an leaned on Leng Chen's side, and after a while, she also fell asleep, and when she woke up again, the sky was already bright, Ruo'an blinked, and got up slowly, for fear of alarming Leng Chen, and when she turned to look at Leng Chen, she found that he had already woken up, and was looking at herself with a pair of bright eyes and a smile.
Ruoan was taken aback and said coquettishly: "Scared me to death...... Why don't you say anything when you wake up? β
Leng Chen smiled lightly: "I want you to sleep a little longer, who knew that you got up so early......"
"It's not as early as you, isn't it?" Ruo'an smiled, Leng Chen smiled and reached out to stop Ruo'an into his arms, hugged her from behind, and stroked her hair dotingly, Ruo'an was a little shy and wanted to get up, but was hugged tighter by Leng Chen.
"Don't move, it's rare to have such a quiet time, let me hold it ......for a while," Leng Chen said and buried his head in Ruo'an's neck, and his warm breath made Ruo'an's neck itch.
"It's a good feeling...... It's been like a long time since I've hugged you like this......" Leng Chen said lightly, and rubbed beside Ruo'an, Ruo'an smiled: "It's a long time coming...... It's not too early, so let's get up......"
"Hmm......" Although Leng Chen responded, his body did not move, Ruo'an did not beg again, let him hold it like this, after half a sound, when Ruo'an was about to squint again, Leng Chen asked softly behind his back: "Can I take you to a place later?" β
"Where?" Ruoan asked, half-squinting.
"You'll know when you go......" Leng Chen pretended to be mysterious, Ruoan opened his eyes and sighed lightly: "I want to go to Baogen's grave to pay respects first......"
"That's fine, if you don't take a look, you won't feel at ease...... Then let's wait until we come back to make plans......" Leng Chen said and let go of the hand holding Ruo'an, Ruo'an sat up and called out the door twice, Aunt Qiao'er and Ziyan walked in, and after serving the two of them to dress neatly, they simply had some breakfast, and then they went out of the gate of the palace.
In front of the door, Duke Yanlu stood in front of the carriage and waited, and when he saw Leng Chen and Ruo'an coming out, he hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Wang...... Madame......"
"When did my father-in-law come back?" Joan asked. (To be continued......)
