When the guards all retreated after hearing the order, the envoys who remained in the hall couldn't help but be curious, "Hey, what's going on?" Why are they all withdrawn all of a sudden? Is something happening again? ”

"Is he going to let us go? Now that these people are gone, can we all leave here? ”

"It's hard to say, Mu Zirong's character, I can't see through it anyway."

Happy, suspicious, puzzled, sarcastic, all kinds of voices rose up like bamboo shoots after the rain, people were speculating whether Mu Zirong decided to let them go, and some people didn't believe that he would be so kind, thinking that he was going to make other small moves.

In short, no matter what they were thinking, anyway, Mu Zirong transferred a large number of guards in the prince's mansion, and the envoys from various countries could only see groups of guards leaving the prince's mansion and disappearing into the night.

The large number of pursuers sent by Mu Zirong immediately launched a carpet search in all directions, of course, his search was carried out in secret, and if it was too public, it would inevitably attract the attention of others, especially his opponents.

At that time, it may be that the person has not been found, and he himself has caused unnecessary trouble first.

Originally, the emperor had a great opinion on him marrying Wen Ruyi, if he knew that Wen Ruyi ran away with Chu Hongze on the wedding night, he didn't know what was going to happen at that time.

The night was heavier, and the minutes were ticking, and the second half of the night was fast approaching, and the crescent moon overhead was about to tilt to the west.

On the road leading to the border, there is occasionally a carriage or a horse, and among the horses passing by are Chu Hongze and Wen Ruyi.

"Ruyi, are you tired?" Three hours had passed since they left the city, and they had been sitting on horseback for these three hours, Chu Hongze couldn't help but worry about Wen Ruyi's situation, after all, Wen Ruyi rarely rode on horseback for as long as he did.

Hearing his concerned inquiry, Wen Ruyi, who was leaning on his arms, couldn't help but shake his head: "It's okay, don't worry about me, it's you who ......" She raised her head and reluctantly looked at Chu Hongze through the faint moonlight, "Is your injury okay?" ”

After so long jolting on horseback, his wound had only been bandaged for a long time, and it was likely that it had now cracked again.

Wen Ruyi wanted to see if there was blood oozing out through his clothes, but the clothes Chu Hongze was wearing were black, and it was difficult to see if there was blood leaking out.

"I'm fine, too." Chu Hongze replied with a chuckle, signaling that he was fine, but when no one saw him, he bit his lower lip with his teeth to prevent himself from making a sound of pain.

How could it not be cracked? His injuries had not been seriously bandaged, and he had suffered internal injuries when he fought with Mu Zirong, and then he started to hurry with Wen Ruyi without any rest.

I had been driving for three hours, and I had been on horseback all the time, so how could the wound not be opened?

He didn't say it, he just didn't want Wen Ruyi to worry.

Now it's so dark, Wen Ruyi can't see the expression on Chu Hongze's face clearly, listening to his voice, there is nothing unusual, she can't help but sigh secretly, and clench his hand holding the reins: "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wang." ”

The soft and glutinous voice was full of concern for him, and even Chu Hongze could hear her hiding deep distress inside.

It was this distress that made Chu Hongze cheer up again, and the whole person seemed to be a lot more energetic, he raised his whip and whipped it fiercely on the horse's buttocks, "Drive!" ”

The powerful whip neighed the horses and hastened towards the frontier ahead, seeing that they were about to leave the place.

"Just cross the border and we'll have someone to pick you up!" The straight road ahead seemed to lead to the sky, and Chu Hongze felt a sense of freedom for the first time.

Infected by his emotions, Wen Ruyi's heart couldn't help but get excited, how much effort it took for them to finally come here!

When they left the city, they were caught up by the guards sent by Mu Zirong, and it was Chu Hongze who always dodged, took Wen Ruyi to hide all the way, and finally got rid of them.

Recalling the experience along the way, Wen Ruyi's heart was still throbbing faintly, "It's so dangerous, I almost couldn't escape just now!" ”

She lowered her voice and whispered, no matter how low her voice was, she was still listened to by Chu Hongze, who was first-class in hearing, "Isn't it okay already?" ”

He lowered his head, opened his lips and gently bit Wen Ruyi's earlobe with his teeth, lingering, full of warmth, "Moreover, you see that we are almost leaving Mu Zirong's country now, and his pursuers have also been left behind by us, I believe that they will be there soon." ”

His sensitive ears were gnawed by him like this, Wen Ruyi trembled involuntarily, but he didn't speak, but turned his head and looked back, it was dark behind him, and he couldn't see anything.

"Really...... Is it safe already? A confused voice sounded in Wen Ruyi's heart, but no one answered her doubts.

The night passed quietly, and the morning sun drove away the crescent moon and rose from the eastern horizon. The golden brilliance pierced the darkness and brought light to the earth.

It's dawn!

Mu Zirong, who had not closed his eyes all night, pale his face, sat on the bed in his room, and asked the imperial doctor in the prince's mansion to check his injuries.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang, my injury, are you okay?" Mu Zirong, who showed his strong chest, lowered his eyelids slightly, and watched the imperial doctor check his pulse, but the silence of the imperial doctor Zhang made him feel uneasy.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang?" He couldn't help but ask again, Imperial Doctor Zhang withdrew his hand to take the pulse, walked to the table, prescribed him medicine, and answered his question at the same time, "His Royal Highness the prince can rest assured, if the problem is serious, the old man will have to leave it alone." ”

This is true, as the leading imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital, Imperial Doctor Zhang always has a problem in seeing a doctor, and he will not treat anything that he thinks cannot be cured.

Hearing his words, Mu Zirong relieved himself, "That's good." ”

After getting dressed, Mu Zirong sighed in his heart: It seems that Chu Hongze was merciful this time, and he didn't directly kill him, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.

"Your Highness, are you there?" At this time, the voice of Mu Zirong's guard suddenly came from outside the bedroom, and the guard knew that there was an imperial doctor in the room to treat Mu Zirong, so he even changed his title from "master" to "His Royal Highness".

"Come in." Mu Zirong glanced at Imperial Doctor Zhang, and after prescribing the prescription, Imperial Doctor Zhang gave him the prescription in his hand and asked him to look at it.

At this time, the guards also walked in, and when they saw Imperial Doctor Zhang who was about to go out, the two nodded their heads.

"What's the matter?" Mu Zirong, who had put away the prescription, frowned, and let the palace maid help him start dressing.

"Master, it's not good, the group of messengers who stayed behind have started to make trouble again!"

It turned out that from last night to now, Mu Zirong has not let go of the envoys from various countries who came to participate in his wedding banquet, and still left them in the mansion and in that hall.

This behavior unintentionally became a blast, after a night of fermentation, the explosion finally succeeded in the morning, and the envoys of various countries quarreled again, and the guards looked for Mu Zirong to report the matter to him.

After listening to the guard's report, Mu Zirong, who got dressed and tidied up, got out of bed, and hurried to the hall with a step, "Okay, this matter will be handled by the prince, you go down first." ”

"But......" Seeing this, the guard hurriedly followed, and did not retreat as he commanded.

"Huh? Anything else? A faint glance made the guard hesitate for a moment, and although he was afraid of being punished, he still spoke: "Master, why don't you rest first, you haven't slept since last night, so your body will not be able to bear it!" ”

The unexpected words made Mu Zirong can't help but look sideways, staring at the guard's gaze, he can't see what emotion it is, he stared at the guard for a moment, but his steps kept rushing to the hall, this posture didn't care about his physical condition at all.

The guard sighed, and then followed resignedly, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Yes, the master himself didn't say anything, it seems that I'm meddling in other people's subordinates again." ”

He shook his head helplessly, shook off the superfluous thoughts in his mind, and hurriedly followed Mu Zirong to the hall to deal with the affairs of the envoys of various countries.

On the other side, after a night of running, Chu Hongze finally took Wen Ruyi to avoid the guards who came to chase them and walked into a village.

"Lord Wang, can you still hold on?" Wen Ruyi, who was riding on horseback, raised her head again, her apricot eyes stared at Chu Hongze's face, and asked with concern, she had already seen that Chu Hongze's situation was not very good.

Chu Hongze glanced at her, his eyes met the worry in her eyes, and in order not to let her continue to worry, he smiled at her: "Of course, don't underestimate this king." ”

Is it? Wen Ruyi didn't believe his answer, it was a whole night of sleeplessness! They are still running for their lives, how can Chu Hongze hold on?

Wen Ruyi had already seen the faint dark circles under his eyes and the tiredness under his eyes with beautiful lines, even if he had hidden them well.

Such a discovery made Wen Ruyi's eyes dim, "But...... Lord Wang, I feel a little tired. ”

If you don't say "I'm tired", Chu Hongze will never stop and rest for a while, after a long time, it will inevitably be unbearable, she knows that he is worried that the pursuers behind him may catch up at any time, but in Wen Ruyi's heart, Chu Hongze's body is more important than anything else, so she can only excuse herself to be tired to let Chu Hongze stop the footsteps.

Sure enough, hearing her say that she was tired, Chu Hongze hurriedly tightened the reins, made a slight "whew" sound in his mouth, and stopped controlling the horse under him.
