Chapter 188: The Secret Emerges
Both lips are equally cold.
At the same time, Qi Changrong slowly opened his eyes under the water.
At this moment, the two stared at each other across the water, life and death, and countless complex suspicions.
……
They floated down the river, and after soaking in the water for a long time, Junchen finally crawled out of the icy river.
He dragged a man in his hand, placed it on the shore, and patted her on the cheek vigorously.
"Qi Changrong? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
No matter how he called, the man lying on the ground still didn't react, like a dead body.
If it weren't for Jun Chen's slight heaving in her chest, Jun Cheng would have suspected that he was dragging a corpse up.
After confirming that Qi Changrong was still alive but on the verge of death, Jun Chen did not dare to delay, looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, he chose a direction and walked away.
At about the beginning of his life, Junchen finally found a family in a remote and strange place.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The heavy knock on the door was particularly abrupt in the silent night sky, but Junchen couldn't care about it, and continued to knock tirelessly.
The oil lamp in the courtyard quickly lit up, and at the same time a man's rough voice came: "Come on, don't knock, knock on my door and pay for it." ”
After a while, the man of the small courtyard opened the courtyard door from the inside with a sleepy eye with an oil lamp, and saw two drenched people standing outside the door, and one of them was still alive and dead by the other person behind him, and the sleepy insect was instantly frightened and fled.
"Who are you?"
Jun Chen lowered his eyes and said softly: "Our two brothers fell into the big river in front of us by mistake, and the younger brother has been in the water for too long, and now it is a little bad, and I want to spend one night here, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”
His voice became hoarse because he had been in the water for too long, but the owner of the courtyard still heard him clearly, and hurriedly made way to welcome the people in.
The man led the people to the empty house, and the hostess of the small courtyard also walked out in her coat, and when she saw the embarrassed appearance of the two people, she couldn't help but exclaim: "What's the matter?!" ”
The man waved his hand impatiently: "The two of them accidentally fell into the water, you go and boil a pot of hot water." ”
The woman answered, and walked away.
After finally carrying the person into the room, the man said: "That woman's actions are a little unfavorable, I'll help her, I see that this little brother is seriously injured and soaked, you can change his clothes first." ”
For his kindness, Junchen naturally nodded.
Soon the man also left, and only the two of them were left in the house.
Junchen put the person on the kang, untied Qi Changrong's belt, and reached out to her collar without hesitation.
Outer robes, undershirts, wraps......
Layer after layer, when he untied the last piece, he couldn't find a place for a long time, and he lost patience for a while, so he simply tore his clothes with his bare hands.
only heard a 'tearing' sound, and Qi Changrong's first layer of chest wrapping was completely scrapped.
The shirt is unbuttoned to reveal the collarbone.
The blood stains soaked through the white shirt, Jun Chen looked at the bloodstains, and raised his hand to untie the last layer of obstruction, but his hand hesitated when it touched the white cloth.
By the faint light of the candle, he could see clearly the appearance of the unconscious man on the couch.
No matter how slow he reacted, no matter how slow he was, he finally noticed that something was unusual.
Due to the injury and falling into the water, Qi Changrong's body temperature rose rapidly in a short period of time, his face was red, and his brows were slightly wrinkled in pain.
This looks a little coquettish.
Junchen's gaze slowly moved downward, and he saw something like a mirror on her chest.
The one on the right is broken, and the one on the left is still intact.
This thing Junchen had seen, it was found in the room of the enemy general, it is said that the general is greedy for beauty, but it is not good to take the pet Ji with him openly, so he let the pet Ji disguise herself as a man and stay in the barracks, and finally was naturally left by the general's side as a guard.
This thing, called a heart goggle, is used to ...... Some features of a disguised woman.
Thinking of this, Jun Chen's calm expression instantly cracked, as if in order to determine something, he reached out and touched Qi Changrong's throat.
The fake Adam's apple had long been washed away by the water, and when I touched it, I only felt a bare piece under my palm, which was extremely delicate to the touch.
Jun Chen's eyes widened, and he was suddenly shocked, or even more frightened, and involuntarily took several steps backwards, almost tripping over the low stool and falling to the ground.
The famous Changrong Prince, whose real body turned out to be a woman!!
Jun Chen gasped, instantly chaotic, his head was a mess, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
At this moment, there were footsteps in the courtyard, Jun Chen suddenly came back to his senses, subconsciously took two steps forward, shook the quilt on the kang on Qi Changrong, and covered her tightly.
As soon as he had covered the room, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the man who had opened it for them was holding two pieces of dry clothes in one hand and a few pancakes in the other.
Seeing that he had not taken off his clothes, the man reminded worriedly: "The autumn night is cold, if you don't change this clothes, I'm afraid you will fall ill tomorrow." ”
He has nothing else, and there are still two points in the eyes of people, not to mention that this person is richly dressed, but his momentum is also extraordinary, and he is by no means an ordinary victim.
Because of this, men deal with it very carefully.
Hearing this, Jun Chen looked up at him a few times, thinking of the identity of the person on the kang, his heart was in turmoil, he just wanted to send people away quickly, and didn't stay here to cause trouble.
Once Qi Changrong's identity is slightly discovered by outsiders, then everyone tonight will die without a place to be buried.
Thinking about it, Jun Chen took off the jade pendant he was carrying around his waist, threw it into the man's hand, and said in a deep voice: "This thing is priceless, so it will be used to cover the cost of tonight's accommodation. ”
The man who received the jade pendant was in a hurry and wanted to return the things: "It's just a gesture, every year my family will save a few people who fell into the water, and there is no need to ......"
"Take it, it's hush money."
“……”
The man was speechless, looking at Junchen's wolf-like eyes in the faint candlelight, and his back was soaked with sweat for a while.
At this point, it's useless to talk about it.
He put down what he had brought and walked out of the door with a sense of humor, closing the door by the way.
Listening to the man's footsteps gradually moving away, after confirming that the man really left, Jun Chen sat aside, his eyes fell on Qi Changrong, and his eyes changed several times.
Countless questions arose in his mind.
Why is the prince of the East Palace a woman?
How long has she been hiding her identity, and how many people know the truth?
The most important thing is, why did she disguise herself as a man and commit the crime of bullying the king and killing her head?
He thought about it for a long time, and finally fixed his eyes on the hem of Qi Changrong's clothes that were still dripping with water droplets.
She was seriously injured, and she soaked in the water for a long time, and if she didn't change her clothes, she was afraid that it would be more than lucky.
Also, the wound on her chest also needs to be treated......
Jun Chen hesitated for a long time, although he was the boss in the barracks, he knew that there was a difference between men and women, and women's reputation was greater than the sky.
In the past, he didn't know Qi Changrong's true identity, and he might still take medicine for her without any scruples, but now that he knows, he can't be regarded as ignorant.
After a while, Junchen gritted his teeth, sat back on the kang, and stretched out his hand to Qi Changrong with his eyes closed......
When he woke up from the coma again, Qi Changrong opened his eyes, only to feel that he had lost strength all over his body, and his limbs were soft and painful, especially the sword wound on his chest, which hurt his heart.
She opened her eyes, looked at the top of her head in a daze, and sighed in her heart, this price must be too great.
"Awake?"
A familiar hoarse voice came from beside him, Qi Changrong turned his head, forced himself to sit up, glanced around, saw that it was an unfamiliar environment, and asked more:
"Where is this?"
As soon as the words came out, Qi Changrong realized that he was weak at this time.
The voice was like a cat's meow, small and pitiful.
Jun Chen sat at the table expressionlessly, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Qi Changrong seemed to have discovered something wrong at this time.
She looked down at the clothes at this time, and saw that they were coarse linen clothes worn by ordinary people, and there was no familiar oppression on her chest, and she felt relaxed.
She paused, narrowing her eyes.
"Who helped me change my clothes?"
"Me."
"Who helped me with the medicine?"
"Me."
"You've seen me?"
“…… Be. ”
Suddenly, Qi Changrong had nothing to say.
But Prince Changrong is Prince Changrong, even if he knows that his identity is revealed, there is no panic in his eyes.
Seeing that she was silent, Junchen said, "You don't have anything else to say to me?" ”
"Say what? Didn't the general see it with his own eyes? ”
The woman's body can't be hidden, and no matter how much she says, it's just a waste of words.
Qi Changrong lowered his eyes and was silent, his mind was extremely clear.
Even though she had expected it and everything was in her plan, she didn't know what to say when it really happened.
The identity is kept secret, and it is really exciting to be looked at.
That's right, everything was Qi Changrong's calculation, because he knew that someone would definitely assassinate him on the way to Yucheng, so he arranged all this along the way.
Who the hell is she...... Go with your heart and mess around with it at any cost.
Qi Changrong was very curious about how Junchen reacted when he first learned her identity.
Unfortunately, she fainted from her injuries and missed the best part.
She had nothing to say, but Junchen had a lot to say.
Jun Chen paused, compared to the resentment and anger of being deceived, at this time, there was more of an unknown emotion in his heart that gradually spread.
It's complicated, it's hard to say, mixed with an indescribable whispering joy and worry......
After a long time, Junchen said: "This is the reason why you can't marry Yueqiu. ”
Qi Changrong smiled freely: "If the general doesn't mind my identity, why not marry her?" ”
How can two women be together?
If they are together, it will be a tragedy for Zhao Yueqiu, who was kept in the dark
Jun Chen didn't say this.
There are some things that he can't say too bluntly, even if he knows them.
"Concealing her identity, disguising herself as a man to enter the main East Palace, once the identity is secretly announced to the world, it is to bully the king, according to the law, and the nine clans are exiled.
If you do this, you are not afraid that one day you will end up miserable and die without a whole body? ”
