Chapter Twenty-Seven: But I Finally Found It
Until the evening, there were still no reinforcements.
The sun is setting low and the temperature outside is starting to drop. Rong Hao carried Su Xia back to the cave, and after settling in, he went out to look for food for the night.
Su Xia waited boredly, and from time to time used a small branch to stir the fire to prevent it from going out. How else to say that the original owner Su Xia was cheap, she suffered from the abuse of her mother and sister in Su Xiang's mansion, often beaten and scolded, and often did not have enough food and clothing, these experiences have created this body's extraordinary resistance to blows and resilience.
Otherwise, if any young lady from a large family was shot by an arrow and shed so much blood, she would not be able to recover her strength so quickly.
At this time, she was a little sympathetic to the original owner, Su Xia, and also admired her a little.
In the memory in his mind, Su Xiang was very busy with official business, rarely took care of the affairs of the inner courtyard, and only gathered his children to dine together on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month.
These concubines dare not speak out, and no one believes them when they say it. And Su Jiaojiao perfectly inherited her mother's set, with a smile on her face, and a secret knife behind her back.
The original owner, Su Xia, has no biological mother since he was a child, no one to protect him, and he has been beaten much more than other sisters.
After a short time, Rong Hao came back with a few fish. Some wild shallots and some hemostatic drugs were also found in the mountains.
He mashed the herbs to stop the bleeding and applied them to Susha's wound. Su Xia grinned in pain, and Rong Hao comforted her: "Xiao Xia, bear with it a little longer, and there will be no bleeding if the medicine is applied." ”
After dealing with Su Xia's wounds, the clothes drying outside were also dry, and he carefully put on clean clothes for Su Xia and helped her tie her clothes.
Su Xia looked at the busy man in front of him, and his heart was as sweet as honey. "Lord, don't patronize me, and quickly put on your clothes yourself. You've taken off your clothes to me, and it's still cold on a spring night. ”
Rong Hao smiled when he heard that she cared about herself, and there was no trace of calculation in his eyes, "Okay, I'll listen to my little princess." ”
After the two of them got dressed, Rong Hao sat by the fire and grilled fish. "If the monkey letter is delivered, someone should come to us. But at that time, we were running too fast, and we were far away, and it took them a while to search the mountains before they could find us. He analyzed in a deep voice.
Su Xia leaned on the cave wall, holding a small stick in his hand and drawing some patterns on the ground, "Don't worry, prince. ”
"This king is not in a hurry, but your injuries cannot wait. After a long time, there was no doctor to deal with it, and I was worried that the wound would worsen. Rong Hao frowned, and there was anxiety in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything. Still, I have something to ask of you. Su Xia stared at Rong Hao pitifully.
Rong Hao flipped the grilled fish, "You just said it, what else do you and I want to talk about?" ”
"I just want you to sleep with me at night. You don't know, I always have terrible dreams at night. ”
When Rong Hao heard it, do you still need to ask for such a good thing? There is still three points of reason on his face, "Since you have begged, this king can only reluctantly help you, no wonder you hugged me so tightly in the past, it turns out that you have nightmares every day." ”
Su Xia nodded. Rong Hao shaved the grilled fish and handed it to her with clean leaves, Su Xia took the fish and ate it with relish. No matter how sad you are, you can't skip a meal, right?
"Speaking of which, Su Xia, which girl are you? You have been with this king for so long, and I haven't heard you mention anything about your family. ”
Su Xia paused in his hand, "Forget it, since you are so good to me, I won't hide it from you." I am Su Xiang's concubine, the sixth in the family. My aunt is Daddy's cousin, I died when I was very young, she and Daddy have a very good relationship, my mother was jealous, after Auntie died, my mother sprinkled all her grievances on me, either beating or scolding, and when I reached the age of fifteen, I couldn't stand it anymore and escaped from the house. ”
Rong Hao raised his face and looked at her, when the bonfire was bright and extinguished, Su Xia's eyes flashed with the reflection of the bonfire, "So, you are the girl of the Su family?" So Su Jiaojiao has seen you a few times, why didn't she recognize you? ”
Su Xia pursed her lips and thought for a while, "It may be that she is sure that I am a eunuch, and since I entered the palace, I have gained some weight, even if I look similar, the gender is different in the first place, she ruled out the possibility that I am the daughter of the Su family." ”
Rong Hao pondered for a while, thought about it or said directly, "Xiao Xia, do you know what the cause of your biological mother's death is?" ”
Su Xia nodded, "When I was a child, I always thought that my aunt was sick and died, until one day I heard you talk to Brother Ji Ming, and I didn't know that my aunt was poisoned by my mother." My father knows about this, but because of Concubine Hua's mother, he can't avenge my aunt. ”
Rong Hao looked at her, although Su Xia had never lived with the original owner's mother for a day, but the memories and emotions of the original owner had been perfectly transplanted into her brain when she crossed over, although she was not shocked at the moment, but there was a trace of colic in her heart. There was unconsciously sadness between his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of tears.
She sniffled and lowered her head to eat the fish.
Rong Hao reminded her softly: "You eat slowly, no one will rob you, be careful of fish bones." You don't have to worry about your mother's affairs, when we go back, I will find a way to bring your mother's grievances to light, so that the wicked woman can get the punishment she deserves. ”
Su Xia nodded, "Lord Wang, I believe in you." ”
After the two finished eating the fish, Rong Hao hugged Su Xia, Su Xia leaned on Rong Hao's chest, and gradually fell asleep in the long night.
Before he could sleep deeply, he was woken up by the sound of chaotic footsteps. I heard someone outside the cave shouting, "There's a fire over there, go and see." ”
Rong Hao was worried that it was the Di people who were attacking, so he vigilantly hugged Su Xia up.
A head poked into the hole, Ji Ming!
Rong Hao breathed a sigh of relief, "Ji Ming, good buddy, you finally found it." This king thought that he would wait here until the earth was barren. ”
The soldiers behind him also followed, Ji Ming walked to the cave, saluted Rong Hao, and smiled with big white teeth, "Lord Wang, I'm relieved to see that you are well." The emperor is still waiting in the palace to reply, let's go back quickly. ”
Rong Hao nodded, "Okay, hurry back." Xiao Xia was hit by an arrow and needed to see the doctor quickly. ”
Only then did Ji Ming find that Rong Hao was holding someone in his arms, and he wrapped it tightly in a cloak, and he was almost ignored under the dim bonfire.
"It turned out that the little eunuch was injured, and I said no wonder I saw some blood stains on the road. That's what we found on this stain of blood. Then let's hurry up, without further ado. Ji Ming stretched out his hand and wanted to take Su Xia.
Rong Hao pushed his hand away, "This king's people, this king just holds it himself." You lead the way with a torch in front. ”
Ji Ming pouted, the Seventh Prince is really uninhibited, and he is really good to this eunuch, he won't really do a fake show, right? He peeked at Rong Hao and quickly removed his eyes, this kind of thing, forbidden to break, forbidden to break.
Rong Hao didn't plan to tell others that Su Xia was a woman. This matter is currently a secret between the two of them, and a dignified prince is happy to have such a little secret with his lover. He wants to wait for a suitable time to tell the world that Su Xia Mingming is marrying and becoming his seventh princess. Otherwise, with Su Xia's current status as a concubine, even if she passes the door, she can only be a concubine, and if she quarrels with her father, she will at most ask for a side concubine.
His Su Xia is so good, how can he be a side room or a concubine room.
Rong Hao hugged Su Xia, the night wind rose, and it was still very cold in the spring night. The soldiers put on a fox fur for Rong Hao, Rong Hao covered Su Xia inside, Su Xia was wrapped in warmth, let out a comfortable sigh, and arched into Rong Hao's arms, extremely comfortable.
Ji Ming asked in a low voice: "Lord Wang, why did you suffer such a heavy loss this time, the fifty personal soldiers you brought with you, except for the monkey who escaped to report the news, all the others died." When we went to the Zhuangzi, the building was empty, and only the corpses of our own soldiers remained. ”
Rong Hao frowned, he hadn't thought about this issue for a day and a night, "I think there is an inner ghost between us." Moreover, the false information must have been sent by the inner ghost, deliberately luring me into the bait and trying to put me to death. If it weren't for Xiao Xia helping me block an arrow this time, then I don't know if I would have died. ”
Ji Ming also frowned, "I want to put you to death?" You always don't ask about the government and don't make enemies, who is so vicious? ”
Rong Hao snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that some people are worried about the black tricks that my father passed on to me, since they are unkind, don't blame this king for being unjust." This time, I will definitely hold on to this matter, investigate to the end, and see who is so bold and dares to break ground on the head of this king. ”
Saying that, they had already arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the carriage that Rong Hao was accustomed to was brought by Ji Ming and tied to the side of the road, waiting for their return.
Rong Hao carefully hugged Su Xia into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and the carriage and everyone's horses began to rush towards the capital, Rong Hao moved gently along the way, and Su Xia had not woken up until this moment. It was dark in the carriage, Su Xia fell asleep and began to stick it to Rong Hao again, but she didn't wrap her chest cloth, her soft chest was attached to Rong Hao, and Rong Hao was rubbed by her.
But thinking that this person was still injured, he didn't dare to make any small moves, so he could only endure it and hug Su Xia tightly.
After a long walk, the carriage finally came to a slow stop. Ji Ming said hello to him, went into the palace to return to the emperor, Rong Hao blackened his face and got off the carriage with Su Xia in his arms.
Gonggong Li in the mansion was on duty tonight, and when he heard that the prince and Su Xia were in danger, his heart was full of jubilation, and he was already waiting at the door. But seeing that Rong Hao's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, he didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would make a mistake and cause a commotion.
"Father-in-law Li, I'll take Xiao Xia in first, you go and send a doctor over, Xiao Xia is injured." Rong Hao dropped a sentence lightly and carried Su Xia into the inner courtyard. Just kidding, is the prince shameless? The tent is propped up, and if you don't hurry up, you'll be discovered.
Gonggong Li received the order and ordered someone to ask for a doctor.
