Chapter 15: Riptide
?
Before dawn, I returned to the inn with 'Chun', and then back to the ship, and there was nothing to say about last night, as if it was really an ordinary night.
The royal driver has to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days, and Qiheng naturally will not pass the time on the boat to "recuperate", so as soon as he returned to the ship, his illness was miraculously cured.
And Yangzhou officials know that the emperor's dragon body has recovered, so naturally they have to express something, so today, I heard that the officials stopped in the Huai River to set up a silk and bamboo banquet, everyone knows that the two sides of the Huai River are lined with Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and it is really painstaking to set up the banquet in that place.
The 'female' family members naturally can't follow, and the people who accompanied them were only the second prince and the fifth prince, Zheng Guifei took the sixth prince to go shopping, and it was really difficult for her, she just burned someone to death last night, and today there is such a good interest, the king of Langya and the seventh prince stayed on the dragon boat, and I rested in my cabin.
After nightfall, both sides of the Huai River are even more lively, Qiheng will naturally not return in disappointment, although I am in the cabin, but in a trance, I can vaguely hear the music in the distance.
In my sleep, I was awakened by a feeling of suffocation, and only after taking a breath did I cough, and then I saw the smoke slowly pouring in from outside the crack in the 'door', and immediately shouted: "'Spring', Gu Yu!"
"...... Ahem, ahem, ......ahem, "It was the 'spring equinox', she seemed to be choking on the smoke, 'groping' to the 'bed', and grabbed my hand.
"Gu Yu. "I got out of the bed, standing on the ground, at this time the smoke in the room is getting bigger and bigger, I can't see the things in front of me clearly, I can only walk a few steps with memory, only two steps, I tripped over a soft thing, I reached out and 'touched', it seemed to be Gu Yu, "I found Gu Yu, she seems to have fainted, quickly help her up!"
'Chun' and I worked together to help Gu Yu up, probed her nose, and said, "It's okay, it's just dizzy, let's go out quickly and go to the deck, otherwise we will choke to death!"
'Spring' used his own handkerchief to soak the tea and handed it to me, and together they helped Gu Yu, stumbling out of the room 'door', the smoke on the aisle was even bigger, I could hardly breathe, I could only cat's waist, and 'Spring' together dragged Gu Yu, so as to escape from life.
Liu Youyu and others, who were sleeping next door, also escaped, shouting my name loudly, and I hurriedly said, "I'm here, you're all right!"
"The minions are all right, how are you, mother!"
"I'm fine, Gu Yu fainted, you guys quickly take her to the deck!"
There was a sound of footsteps, Liu Youyu and others carried Gu Yu to the deck, and I followed them to 'grope' forward.
Behind me, I heard someone calling me again, so I turned around and said, "I'm fine, everyone go to the deck." As soon as the words fell, I felt a pain in the back of my neck, and then my consciousness was 'chaotic'.
But my perception was not completely dissipated, I could vaguely hear the 'vernal equinox' calling me, and I was being held by a person on my shoulder, and I didn't know where to go, but the smoke in that place gradually dissipated, and I could feel the night breeze on the river, and even hear the sound of the river rushing.
He will sink me to the bottom of the river.
That's the only thought on my mind, and if I do, I'm going to die without even noticing, right?
Although my body couldn't move, but my teeth could, I bit the tip of my tongue hard, and the smell of blood immediately filled my entire mouth, and I was so drunk that my head was a little clearer, and I had a little more strength in my hand, and I pulled out the golden hairpin on my bun and stabbed the man's neck hard.
But my strength was too small after all, and he only felt a slight pain, and he didn't let me go, but quickened his pace to the railing, and threw me down the river with all his might.
The sound of the wind in my ears did not last long, with a "poof" sound, splashing huge "waves" and "flowers", I sank into the river, the river water wrapped me tightly, my limbs were weak, and I couldn't even struggle.
Is it really unwilling to die like this?
'Jade'er's revenge has not been avenged, how can I die like this?
As soon as I thought of this, my originally soft limbs seemed to have strength, and I swam hard, hoping to surface, but I didn't expect the undercurrent in the water to be so powerful, even if I tried my best, I couldn't get rid of the dark 'tide' turbulence, the river rolled me downstream, and I finally lost consciousness.
When I woke up to the greasy smell of incense, I knew I didn't have to die.
This is a 'woman'' room, to be exact, a 'woman' room who loves beauty, because this gauze tent is pink, and it is full of large and small sachets and tassels, and the room is still burning incense, but it is not the water sink that I am used to smelling on weekdays, but the very ordinary loose incense on the market! !
My body was still limp and weak, and my head was dizzy, and I lay down for a long time before I heard the sound of the 'door' opening, and then I saw a 'woman' with heavy makeup walking in.
"Yo, girl, wake up. "She looked at me with a smile, but when she smiled, she 'exposed' the bright red root 'flesh', lined with yellowed teeth, which made people look very uncomfortable.
"Where am I, did you save me? I asked in a hoarse voice.
She covered her mouth with a cheap handkerchief and laughed until she had laughed enough before she said, "Where is this, hehe...... Ha ha...... Where is this, tell you, this is Yicui Building!"
I still don't understand: "What kind of place is Yicui Tower!"
"Somewhere. She laughed exaggeratedly, "Naturally, it's a place for men to have fun!"
Brothel,.
The "boom" in my brain exploded, could it be that I was washed into the Huai River, otherwise how could it be......
I immediately straightened my face and shouted: "What do you want to do, I tell you, don't act rashly, if you know who I am, you will not be able to eat and walk around!"
"Yo ho, it's really not small, that's how you treat your savior. She crossed her hands on her hips and said in a menacing voice.
"Are there any other people besides me? "I have doubts in my heart, it is not the 'spring' equinox and Gu Yu, who were also harmed.
She glared at her and said, "You little couple are looking for death and life, and now you will forget why you have a hot brain to be martyred, and if you want to die, you don't choose a good place, and you will die here to your mother!"
"Martyrdom, martyrdom. "I'm even more confused.
She pursed her lips with a look of disdain.
"Miss Yiliu, is my lady awake!"
I was taken aback, I didn't expect that this 'girl' who looked so vulgar was called Yiliu with such a weak name, and this was not what surprised me, what really surprised me was the person who spoke.
This voice is so familiar.
The 'door' of the room opened, and the handsome face, the 'upright' posture, and the smile of the eyes stood at the 'door'.
He's so everywhere, somehow, I smiled and sighed.
