Chapter 1149: A Fire
Feng Changqi's gaze kept wandering over Chu Mingxuan's body, especially the wound on his left shoulder, and his worry was overflowing: "I forgot to ask, how is your injury, Young Master Chu?" Is it better? I was going to go to your house in a few days to personally thank you, but I didn't expect to meet you in the restaurant today. ”
Chu Mingxuan's heart warmed slightly.
"It's just a small injury, with Dr. Zhou's wonderful hand to rejuvenate, it is much better now, just pay more attention on weekdays, don't Peng Shui, and you will be fine." The doctor said that the injury would not take long to heal, thank you for your concern. ”
Hearing him say that the wound was fine, Feng Changqi relieved himself: "In the end, your injury is also because of me." ”
What she didn't know was how happy Chu Mingxuan was at this time. At that time, it was purely instinctive to help block the knife, and when he thought about it, he was also afraid for a while, after all, the left shoulder was not far from the heart, and the villain's knife at that time was a few points lower, and his little life would be confessed in the alley. However, Chu Mingxuan did not regret it, and was even a little glad that he helped her block the knife at that time.
If it weren't for this knife, I wouldn't have intersected with Changqi!
Pressing the joy in his heart, Chu Mingxuan said: "Your Highness is rare to go out for a trip, do you want to go to the famous places in the city to have a look?" Although this river city is not as prosperous as the capital, it also has a unique flavor. ”
Feng Changqi shook his head with a smile and thanked the other party for his kindness.
She wanted to walk around, but she hadn't rested well in the past few days, she was in a depressed mood, and she was groggy and couldn't muster her strength.
"I'll go back in a few days."
Fortunately, Chu Mingxuan was a person with a lot of vision, so he didn't ask the reason, but just smiled and agreed.
Feng Changqi originally just wanted to stand in the restaurant for a while, and then return to the Taishou Mansion when he saw what happened on the execution ground, but he didn't expect to meet Chu Mingxuan, a life-saving benefactor, halfway, she was not good at saving the other party's face, so she sat for a while and chatted a few words. At this moment, something even more unexpected happened to her, Chu Mingxuan was unexpectedly talkative, no matter what topic he talked about, he was able to pick it up, and he was also able to express his own opinions on things, his erudition made Feng Changqi have to look the other way.
Feng Changqi said with surprise on his face: "I didn't expect Gongzi Chu to be so knowledgeable, and if I talked to you, it was as if I had seen those humanistic grandeurs with my own eyes." That's true. ”
Chu Mingxuan was so praised that he couldn't find the north, and asked in a daze, "What words?" ”
"Naturally, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles." Feng Changqi looked out the window, his gaze eyes were full of longing, "The grand scenery of various places, Chu Gongzi can talk eloquently, I think he has been to many places, right?" I really envy you for being so free and easy. ”
Once upon a time, Feng Changqi also had the heart to travel outside in the past, especially when she was trapped in the palace wall, she had thousands of impulses, she had imagined what she would look like when she grew up more than once, but she didn't think about her current situation.
Wading into the rivers and lakes and traveling among the mountains and rivers, she may not have a chance in her life.
Feng Changqi's every move fell in Chu Mingxuan's eyes, and Chu Mingxuan could also hear the longing and loss in her words clearly.
When the first emperor was alive, His Royal Highness might be able to be willful for a while, but now that the first emperor is gone, His Royal Highness is afraid that he will never have a chance again, and when he inherits that position in the future, he is afraid that he will not even be able to leave the palace.
If you think about it, there is no benefit to being the lord of the world.
Without waiting for Chu Mingxuan to answer, Feng Changqi realized that his words were wrong, and quickly turned his face and apologized: "It's just a feeling, Master Chu forgive me." ”
Chu Mingxuan smiled and shook his head, he wished that His Highness would reveal his true temperament in front of him!
Just as the two were talking, a wisp of black smoke rose in the city, and a breeze blew, and I saw stars twinkling in the black smoke! If you look closely, it's a fire somewhere in the city! Feng Changqi suddenly stood up from her position, and she was familiar with the position where it was on fire! That's the location of the Taishou Mansion, and when you look over there from here, you can vaguely see the fire, but I don't know if the fire is big or not.
Chu Mingxuan also found out, frowned and said, "That seems to be the direction of the Taishou Mansion, Your Highness wants to go back and have a look?" ”
Feng Changqi nodded without hesitation, not to mention what place Taishou Mansion was, but the child was still in the house, and Feng Changqi's heart had no way to settle down, unless he could see the child's safe and sound appearance with his own eyes!
Because of being too anxious, Feng Changqi didn't even have time to say goodbye, and hurried downstairs when he got up, and the carriage of Taishou Mansion was parked in front of the restaurant, and the coachman had been anxiously waiting for a long time, as soon as Feng Changqi came up, the carriage was like an arrow from the string to the direction of Taishou Mansion.
In the end, it turned out that Feng Changqi's foreboding was correct, because it was the small courtyard where she lived that caught fire in Taishou's mansion.
When she returned to the Taishou Mansion and was told about this by the anxious Mrs. Taishou, she almost didn't catch her breath, and her eyes were red: her voice even trembled gently because of excessive worry: "Sudden fire...... What about my child? How is my child? ”
Mrs. Taishou hurriedly said: "The child is fine, Your Highness, don't worry." ”
"Where is he?"
Like a poor drowning man suddenly grasping a life-saving straw, Feng Changqi grabbed Mrs. Taishou's sleeve, and it was impossible for Feng Changqi to calm down until he saw the child safe.
Fortunately, Mrs. Taishou also realized this, and hurriedly took Feng Changqi's hand and walked through the panicked crowd to the small courtyard where she lived.
At this time, Feng Changqi and Yu's hopeless child, that is, Meng Liguo's little son, was sleeping peacefully in her room.
He didn't seem to know what was going on in the outside world, lying in the soft futon, sleeping very sweetly, and there was even a silver silk slipping down from his mouth, looking funny and cute! On top of that, Feng Changqi didn't see any scars on the child's body, and it was clear that he was well protected.
The tense heartstrings finally loosened a little, and Feng Changqi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you're fine." ”
After half-squatting down, her eyes were firmly fixed on the sleeping little ghost, who had no heart and lungs, and her mood was very bitter: "When I went out today, there was clearly nothing in the house, why did there suddenly catch fire, and it was my yard on fire?" What's going on? And how are Qingxiu and Fluttershy? ”
A series of questions came head-on, and Mrs. Taishou was not surprised, after all, there was such a big thing, and Feng Changqi should be anxious.
"I don't know the exact cause of the fire, but we know that the fire came suddenly. Miss Qingxiu was originally with the little boy, but for some reason, she suddenly fainted in the courtyard and still hasn't woken up, as for Miss Fluttershy......"
Mrs. Taishou paused, as if she was brewing words.
Feng Changqi was keenly aware of something unusual from this: "What's wrong with Fluttershy?" ”
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Fluttershy is in a different yard, and she is not in any danger to her life, but she has injuries on her body, and I am afraid that she will have to recuperate for a while in the future."
The fire comes so suddenly that the maids in the courtyard run away, but Fluttershy is the only one who returns to the burning room and rescues the boy who is crying because of the fire and heat.
Fluttershy is very careful, and when she takes the child out, she protects him with her body for fear that the flames will hurt him, until she rushes to safety, and then she gives the child to the other maids.
Recalling the situation, Mrs. Taishou shuddered and felt distressed: "Fluttershy has several burns on her body, and the doctor said that there may be scars in the future, so I specially told the doctor to use the best plaster, just to hope that the scar can be lightened, after all, Fluttershy is a girl's family, and she will always marry in the future." ”
Feng Changqi is shocked, and in a trance, he seems to see Fluttershy rushing out of the fire with her baby in her arms.
If it weren't for Fluttershy, her baby might be ........
She didn't dare to think about it further, but her brows tightened and her expression became more complicated: "Fluttershy saved my baby, and I will repay this kindness!" From now on, I will never treat her badly. ”
Mrs. Taishou sighed, "With Your Highness's promise, Miss Fluttershy will definitely not suffer in the future." ”
"My lord, my lord, something happened in the house!"
In the yamen, when Yu Wuwang was discussing the battle situation with Jiangcheng Taishou, he suddenly heard someone hurrying over, shouting loudly as he ran, as if he was afraid that they would not hear this. This appearance made Jiang Cheng Taishou frown: "Why are you so panicked?" Don't you see me discussing something big here with the National Teacher? ”
The cronies who came to report said anxiously: "My lord, the little one doesn't want to disturb you, it's just that something big happened in the house!" The courtyard where His Highness lived was flooded, and two people were burned alive by the flames in it! ”
At that moment, Jade's hopeless breathing stopped, and he couldn't believe his ears.
"The small courtyard where Qi'er lives is surrounded by guards, how can it be .......?"
The cronies cried with sad faces: "The little one doesn't know what the hell is going on, I only know that the fire burned very much, and it burned two people, and I heard that there were burns, but fortunately, His Royal Highness is fine, but the little boy lost weight and was frightened......."
Hearing this, Yu Wuwang couldn't hold back any longer, and ran out with a step.
Jiang Cheng Taishou wanted to chase after him, but because he was born as a civil official, his feet were really not as good as his martial arts skills, so he had to slow down and turn his head to the little guy and ask: "How did the fire burn?" Madame's side can you find out the results? Was it intentional arson or an accident? ”
"Madame was busy placing the little boy, and she didn't have time to take a closer look, but it was preliminarily concluded that it was the small kitchen in the courtyard that caught fire first, and the beautiful girl was knocked unconscious in the corner of the courtyard, maybe she knew the inside story, but unfortunately she hadn't woken up yet, and she had to wait until she woke up to ask carefully."
