The days that followed were like a nightmare for me.

New scars will be added to my body every day, and the scabbed place will also be re-cracked to reveal the flesh, so after a few days, the wounds on my body not only did not heal, but the flesh and blood were blurred, which was very terrifying, but Bo Hongwen would pour me elixir every day to protect my heart, so that I would not be whipped to death by him, but the basement was damp and cold, and the stuffy air eroded my wounds that could not heal, and finally, the wounds began to become inflamed, and the body temperature continued to rise, and I felt that my brain had been burned into a pulp, I couldn't even feel the explosive pain on my body.

If I really die here with such bad luck, I should die without seeing it.

I woke up again, I felt that I was on the boat, I shook and shook, I opened my eyes, but I saw the roof of the carriage, and there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, I was in a trance, and when I moved slightly, my whole body seemed to be pricked by countless needles, I moaned softly, and a timid voice came from next to me: "Are you awake?" ”

I closed my eyes at first, and when I had endured the pain and relieved myself, I looked at the source of the sound, and saw a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old with a maid's hair in a bun, staring at me with big eyes and some fear.

I opened my mouth and found that my mouth was dry and I couldn't make a sound at all, so I made a lip shape: "Water ......"

"Oh oh......" she understood, immediately got up and poured me a glass of water, and then took a clean handkerchief and dipped it in water to wet my lips, I licked my lips, very dissatisfied, so I motioned for her to help me up, she quickly waved her hand: "No, girl, you ...... You're covered in wounds, and you're going to die of pain when you sit up......"

"No, it won't." I insisted, she saw that I was so stubborn, I had to bend down and carefully help me up, as soon as I moved, the wounds all over my body seemed to be torn open, the fire burned and hurt, I "hissed", she was immediately frightened and did not dare to move again, just such a simple get up, I was stunned for a while to finish, and when I was finally able to drink water, I was already panting, cold sweat broke out.

I was so thirsty that I drank several glasses of water to satisfy myself, and because the carriage was very unstable and prone to swaying from side to side, I lay down again at the strong request of Xiao Cui.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid, named Xiao Cui, was the son of Bofu, and because she was usually well-behaved and obedient, she was assigned to take care of me, and she did not know my identity, but she had never seen a woman with so many scars on her body, and her skin was open, so she was always afraid of me.

I thought for a moment and asked, "You said we left Wuyang City?" So where do we go now? ”

Xiaocui said: "I didn't know, but my sister is in the lady's room, I heard that she went to the lady's hometown." ”

"Uncle...... Didn't the lord come? ”

Xiaocui looked at me strangely, "The master is a big official, how can he have time to accompany his wife back to his parents' house." ”

I snorted coldly in my heart, going back to my parents' house, it was really a good excuse, Bo Hongwen must be mixed in this horse team now.

"Let's leave Wuyang City...... How many days? ”

Xiao Cui tilted her head and thought for a while before replying, "It's been three or four days." ”

I closed my eyes and felt a little desperate in my heart, Bo Hongwen had obviously already thought of a way out, and now, he was going to take his whole family to the person behind the scenes, and I was getting farther and farther away from my home......

"Girl," Xiao Cui hurriedly shouted, "are you alright?" ”

When I opened my eyes, I saw Cui's panicked face, and I smiled laboriously, "It's okay." "It's just a burst of pain in my body, but there is no other way but to endure.

"Girl, you have been asleep for several days, you have been in a high fever and it does not go away, and your wife is in a hurry to leave, and you can't recuperate in peace, you are awake now, you are going to be very well, it is really Amitabha Buddha, Bodhisattva blessed." Xiao Cui clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and bowed very reverently.

I also thank God in my heart, although it is so painful now, but I am still grateful for it, let me survive, so that I can still have the opportunity to see the person I love, I began to make up my mind in my heart, to take care of my body, to prepare for the escape, before that, I want to know as soon as possible where Bo Hongwen's destination is, Xiaocui doesn't seem to regard me as a great person, after I woke up, she didn't report her master in time, but talked with me idle, since I found out that I was extraordinarily kind, She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, revealing the nature of a thirteen-year-old girl, and she kept chattering, and I didn't have the strength to answer anyway, only occasionally rolling her eyes and blinking, and she was already very satisfied, and the more she talked, the happier she became.

Under my intentional guidance, after a while, I learned about the recent situation in Bofu, and Bo Yongzhi was really disfigured, but he said that he fell and injured his face when he was sick.

"But ah, my sister secretly told me that she followed Madame to see the young master, and the young master's face was dark, not like a fall at all, but like a ......" Xiao Cui looked outside vigilantly, and then whispered: "It looks like a burn." ”

I didn't squeak, and listened to her continue: "This time the lady went back to her parents' house, in fact, the main reason is to take the young master back to recuperate, the mansion of the Bofu ......" Xiaocui stuck out her tongue, "It's unlucky." ”

"Is it because someone died a few years ago?" I finally spoke.

Her eyes widened, "Girl, how do you know?" Before I could answer, she said to herself: "Yes, all the people in Wuyang City know about this matter, it's the young grandmother...... Alas, if it weren't for this, the young master wouldn't be what he is now......"

I pondered for a long time and asked tentatively, "I heard, not long ago...... The crown princess lives in the house? ”

"That's it!" Xiao Cui showed a proud look on her face, "Although I only stayed for two days, it was really a great honor, but unfortunately I didn't see it, but I heard that the crown princess is very kind and beautiful, which is different from what is rumored outside." ”

Only stayed for two days...... That's what it said to the outside world......

I listened to her sigh for a while, and suddenly the carriage gradually stopped, and my heart began to beat a drum, and now I can barely move, if Bo Hongwen still wants to do something to me, I am powerless to resist, he has already made up his mind to be inseparable from the Dongxu royal family, so keep me, I should want to take me as a hostage.

The curtain was pulled open with a "bang", and Xiao Cui hurriedly stood up and shouted timidly to the people outside: "Yu guard." ”

I looked out of the carriage, and a man with slender, guard-like eyes and a slender figure was squinting at me, and I coughed lightly, and he said in a strange voice, "Yo, this little lady, wake up." ”

I didn't squeak, tilted my head to the side, the guard surnamed Yu immediately frowned, Xiaocui looked at me, then at the Yu guard, and explained anxiously: "The girl just woke up, and the high fever did not go away before, and her throat was burned out, and now she can't speak." ”

"Huh, huh?" Yu Wei sneered, his eyes showed a gloomy light, and then he stopped looking at me, but turned his gaze to Xiao Cui, "Yo, Xiao Cui girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you more and more watery." ”

Yu ...... Yu Guard...... "Xiao Cui couldn't help but take a step back.

"Look at this little hand, it's as tender as a shallot, tsk, take a closer look, you look better than your sister......" The Yu guard was full of foul language, and Xiao Cui's whole body trembled like a shuttle, I really couldn't listen to it anymore, and began to pretend to cough, coughing and coughing, my throat became more and more itchy, and finally I really coughed violently, Xiao Cui found an opportunity, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Would you like to drink some water? ”

After a long while, I still hadn't stopped, and the Yu guard looked at me with disgust, snorted softly into the car, dropped a word of "bad luck", and turned to leave.

Xiaocui hurriedly lowered the curtain, and I slowly calmed down, and she looked at me gratefully: "Thank you, girl, just now." ”

I shook my head, signaling that it was nothing, she sighed and said: "This is the guard who was originally by the master's side, this time I was ordered to protect the safety of my wife, in fact, I can't see it on weekdays, I really hope to get to my wife's hometown soon, don't have anything on the road......"

I really want to tell her, I'm afraid that in this life, I won't be able to go to Mrs. Bo's hometown, and when it came to dinner, someone brought me a bowl of gruel, Xiaocui helped me finish it, and fed me medicine, so she said: "I have to travel for half a day today, girl, you can sleep." ”

I nodded, I felt that my body was indeed extremely tired, a bowl of porridge in my stomach, although it was not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, but it had ironed my stomach warm, I closed my eyes, ready to fall asleep, I didn't know how long I fell asleep, I felt the carriage stop again, and then a noisy sound came, I struggled to wake up, and saw Xiaocui was opening the curtain to look out, I snorted softly, she heard the movement, and turned around to see that I was looking at her.

She hurriedly lowered the curtain, sat back beside me with some embarrassment, and muttered: "I'm just a little curious......" Seeing that I didn't speak, she hurriedly explained: "I heard someone outside saying that I wanted to check the customs clearance approval, so I wanted to look outside......"

"Customs clearance, approval?" I repeated.

"That's right," Xiao Cui frowned, her face puzzled, "I also think it's a little strange, Madame's hometown is in the east, but the name of the place I heard just now...... It is clearly the western pass. ”

"Where is it?!" My voice suddenly raised, she was startled, I immediately adjusted my expression, smiled, "It's just a little curious." ”

Xiaocui didn't suspect it, and whispered to me: "It's Linhongguan." ”

Linhongguan, I was shocked, isn't this the way from the north to Yiyi?! Could it be that Bo Hongwen's final destination is Yiyi? An idea flashed through my mind that the person behind him was ...... My former emperor's uncle, Emperor Su Qingrang?
