Chapter Twenty-Four: The Deceased
Night was approaching, and as soon as Jing Rong came out of the gate of Su Chengyuan, he saw a few fires in the distance.
"Chang Yuan, what's going on outside" "Back to Your Highness, there are assassins in the mansion, and Lord Su is sending people to search around" Jing Rong frowned: "Which direction did you go?" Chang Yuandao: "Southeast"
Jing Rong followed the direction all the way, but there was no trace, and he was about to turn back, and his head lowered his eyes and swept the flowers and leaves on the side. I didn't enter a trail in front of me. Turning the corner, a smell of blood hit his nose, and his eyes tightened.
"Su'er" Su Qinghui opened his eyes and saw someone laughing: "Your Highness"
"How are you?"
"It's okay, don't worry" Jing Rong tapped twice on her wound to block the blood flow, and asked in a deep voice: "Can you still move" Su Qinghui nodded. Jing Rong picked her up and said to the person behind her: "Chang Yuan, deal with it"
"Yes"
Back in the courtyard, Jing Rong opened a box and took out the medicine melt in the water and put it in front of Su Qinghui: "Drink water"
"Bitter" He stuffed a sugar pill in her mouth, saw that she softened her expression, and then reached out and put the cup on her mouth and said, "Drink it" Su Qinghui had a bitter face: "I really can't drink it" Jing Rong spread his hand and said, "I'll give it to you after drinking" Su Qinghui glanced at the sugar bag in his hand, closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.
After a while, the pain in his chest slowly began to ease, and Su Qinghui said loudly: "Today, thank you Your Highness for saving me."
"No need" she was helpless in her heart, this person was really unable to speak.
Suddenly, there were two soft buttons outside the door: "Your Highness"
A few whispers in the outhouse, Su Qinghui looked at the person who walked in and was suspicious, turned to look at Jing Rong, and only relieved when he nodded.
Su Qinghui said with a waist in his hand: "I'm tired of you"
Su Shizhao sat on the edge of the bed, still looking cold: "It's okay"
After a while, she glanced at Su Qinghui's tightly clenched hands and said, "If it hurts, shout out, don't bear it"
"It doesn't hurt" Su Shizhao took out an embroidered handkerchief to wipe away the cold sweat from her forehead: "It'll be fine soon, bear with it again"
"Yes"
Half an hour later, Su Shizhao lifted the curtain and came out, and handed the blood-stained clothes to Chang Yuan: "Tired."
The door closed, Su Shizhao said: "The wound has been treated, I applied the needle, she has already fallen asleep" said and laughed: "You are so old in a flash" Jing Rong eased his expression as if he thought of something.
Su Shizhao said: "Looking at her, I think of when you were a child, in front of others, you refused to scream no matter how bad you fell, but when it came to me, you had to shout for a long time" Jing Rong poured a cup of tea in front of her and said: "At that time, you are willing to indulge me"
Su Shizhao lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "Only then did I think you were still a child who could cry and make trouble."
After a long time, a soft call in the room called "Ah Huai" Jing dissolved his body.
"How have you been doing all these years?" Seeing that the person next to her lowered her head and didn't speak, she said again: "Every time you come back, I want to ask you if you are doing well, whether the food is suitable or not, whether anyone bullies you, but every time I see you from afar, I dare not ask, I am afraid to hear what you say is not good, if you do, what should I do, now I can no longer protect you like when I was a child"
Su Shizhao had tears in his eyes, as gentle as comforting him when he was a child: "Ahuai, I am very happy to see you today, that girl, she is a very good child like you, I am very relieved to have her by your side"
Jing Rong whispered: "She doesn't know how much trouble she caused me"
"But every time you don't just talk about it, you worry more than anyone else."
"Nope"
"Then what did you ask me to do in the middle of the night?"
Su Shizhao said helplessly: "You guys, you are really the same, you have to make a big loss before you bow your head, it's just that, she asked me to hand it over to you, I will go back to my grandfather to serve first, if there is any problem, remember to come to me"
"Good"
The room was quiet again, Jing Rong opened the curtain and walked into the inner room, the person in the bed breathed long, and half of his legs were on the outside of the bed. He was helpless in his heart, he was really hurt and restless.
Jing Rong woke up with a light cough, he got up and poured a glass of water next to her mouth and whispered, "Drink water"
"Your Highness, Old Man Su is okay"
"Yes"
After being silent for a while, Su Qinghui whispered: "I remember"
"What do you want to do again, so quickly forget the lesson"
"No," she said innocently, "I'm hungry"
“……”
After a while, Jing Rong came in with a bowl of porridge: "Open your mouth", "Salty~", "Impossible", "Really salty~"
After a few seconds of silence, Jing Rong got up and put down the bowl and walked out of the house. Su Qinghui leaned on the head of the bed and was helpless, was this intended to leave her to fend for herself?
After a while, the door knocked softly, Su Qinghui poked his head out and saw that it was the familiar figure who was very eager: "I knew that His Highness would come back" Jing Rong was standing on the cushion behind her and said: "Don't move"
A bowl of porridge bottomed out, Su Qinghui stopped the figure who wanted to leave and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, am I causing you trouble today?"
Jing Rong put down the bowl and looked at her, "What did you say to her?"
Su Qinghui lowered his eyes and his voice was very indifferent: "It's just to ask about something, has His Highness seen those things" Jing Rong nodded.
Su Qinghui said again: "It seems that the news of the fall of the Duke of Luoyang has not been made public, even so, Su Weiyan secretly contacted the robbers to drag us, and poisoned the old man Su There are traces to follow." However, if Su Weiyan can act according to his orders without noticing, that person must be someone that Luo Yang Gong believes in."
Jing Rong said: "So you insist on going up the mountain"
"Yes, Your Highness can find out something"
"Su Weichu did this, just to get the secret letter in Old Man Su's hands for others."
Su Qinghui said, "It's just that the Duke of Luoyang has already fallen, what's the use of that person instructing her to do this?"
"That person took refuge in the emperor"
Su Qinghui chuckled: "No wonder I'm in such a hurry, I was going to hand over an admission ticket, but it seems that her painstaking efforts to stop His Highness have no effect."
"Yes"
Su Qinghui chuckled, clutched his chest and said, "If Su Weichu heard this, he might be even more crazy than just now."
"Yes, she hurts your spirit, you hurt your body, it's really cost-effective" Su Qinghui was swallowed like this, and his heart hurt even more, this person really didn't have three good words.
The next day, when Su Qinghui woke up, it was noon, and as soon as he moved, Su Shizhao opened the curtain and came in: "You are awake" said and helped her lean on the head of the bed and said: "How do you feel today?"
"It's much better" "That's good, you can walk around after three or five days of recuperation, don't worry too much"
"Thank you"
After the meal, Su Shizhao poured out a pill: "Come and take the medicine"
"Then, put that one away, I'll eat it later" Su Shizhao chuckled: "Don't worry, there's no taste"
"Really" "En"
There was a commotion outside. Su Qinghui asked out loud: "What's going on outside" Su Shizhao patted her hand and comforted: "You stay obediently, I'll take a look"
After a long time, there was no movement outside, and Chang Yuan said through the curtain: "Girl"
"Chang Yuan, what's wrong outside" "Miss Su Weiyan, she's dead"
Su Qinghui was shocked: "Did you commit suicide?"
"No, I was stabbed through the chest and thrown in the back garden, I just found out"
"yes, have you found out who did it?"
Chang Yuan said: "Not yet, but His Royal Highness asked me to tell the girl, no matter who did it, it was already like this, and she was to blame for it, and I hope that the girl will not take any more risks and take care of herself."
Su Qinghui sighed: "I know, it's just that His Highness really said not to risk your life and take care of your body?" ”
"Nope"
"I guess too, so what did he say?"
Chang Yuan glanced at him and said: "Your Highness said that if you dare to cause trouble again, he will not bother others to do it, and solve you with his own hands."
"Ahem"
"Is the girl uncomfortable" Su Qinghui waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, you turn back to Your Highness, I must stay honest, and I will never cause trouble"
"No need, Your Highness said, you won't be able to make any waves in three or five days"
“……”
Su Qinghui said helplessly: "Chang Yuan guard, do you have to tell me what your Royal Highness says?"
"It's not"
Su Qinghui sighed in frustration: Then did your Highness say when he will come back and save me from the sea of suffering?"
"Nope"
"Miss Zhao at that time, she was fine"
"I don't know"
“……”
Su Qinghui glanced at the corner of her clothes that were motionless outside, closed her eyes and remembered that Su Weichu, who was heartbroken yesterday and said that she was going to kill her, was brutally murdered today and died at home. The heart sighed, it is really impermanent.
After recuperating for three days, Jing Rong took care of the matter at hand, and decided to return to Beijing when he saw that Old Man Su's condition was improving. After the carriage traveled out of the city for a while, it stopped at a village.
Crossing a small road, Jing Rong stopped in front of a farmer, and seeing that he had not moved for a long time, Su Qinghui was puzzled: "Your Highness, we"
"Wake up, slow down"
Su Qinghui froze when he heard this, turned his head, and a little girl in pink clothes in the courtyard said in a glutinous voice: "Mother, when will my father come back?"
"As long as you wake up and be obedient, he'll be back soon" "Really" "Of course"
Su Qinghui covered his mouth, for fear that he would make a sound.
"Xiaoyue, I'm back" Xing'er pushed the bowl away, twisted his steps and threw himself out of the door and cheered, "It's Daddy who is back" The person who came picked up Xing'er and smiled: "Guess what Daddy brought you"
"Sugar Man" "Really Smart"
The woman scolded, "I have some snacks again, and the food is not delicious."
"Don't worry, children love to eat these, it's not a big deal to eat something" The woman took the basket: "It's up to you, when will Zhao'er come back for dinner?"
"Count the hours, it's time too" As he spoke, the door was pushed open: "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm back"
The man came forward and said, "Ah Zhao is back, I haven't seen you for a month, you have lost weight again, is it hard to go to school, come into the house, I bought a lot of meat today, just wait for you to come back" "Quick, come into the house and talk" From time to time, there was a burst of laughter in the house.
Su Qinghui turned around and leaned against the wall and sniffed: "Is it what Miss Shi Zhao said to His Royal Highness?" Jing Rong handed her a handkerchief and replied gently: "En"
"Chang An told me before that they were doing well, and I was always at ease. Now that I can see it with my own eyes, it can be regarded as a wish" "En"
"Thank you, Your Highness"
The carriage drifted away, and the smoke rose from the small courtyard, flowing into the afterglow of the setting sun.
