Chapter 62: One Eye

The person who came knelt on the ground with a thud, hugged her legs and cried sadly: "Princess, it's me, I'm Brother An!" ”

She accidentally touched Yu Ruyan's injured knee, causing her a dull pain. When Brother An saw it, he hurriedly lifted her skirt and looked at it, and was shocked: "Princess, did they torture you?!" ”

Unexpectedly met her life-and-death handmaid here, the shock in Yu Ruyan's heart made her forget the pain on her body, and hurriedly helped the person on the ground, picked up the lantern she fell on, and looked at that face for a long time before believing that she was not dreaming. She excitedly hugged Brother An into her arms and murmured, "It's really you, it's great, I thought I'd never see you again." ”

Brother An had already cried into a tearful person, and he couldn't cry and said, "Princess, princess, I finally found you." ”

She tore off her skirt and carefully bandaged Yu Ruyan's knees, and said with a heartache on her face: "How can they do such a heavy poison to you, it's so hateful." ”

Then she frowned again and asked, "How did the princess appear here?" ”

"Why are you here?."

The master and servant asked each other in unison.

After Yu Ruyan's surprise, Brother An has lost a lot of weight, his originally round face has become a pointed melon seed face, and his face is no longer round and smooth, and he is much haggard, and she is dressed like a prostitute in Qin Xianglou!

As smart as her, she instantly understood what was going on, her heart ached, and she looked at Brother An with tears on her face in a daze, and asked with difficulty for a long time: "You... You... What the hell is going on? ”

Brother An understood the pain in her eyes, she suffocated her breath, and the pain of the past devoured her scarred heart like a flood monster. She turned her head and didn't dare to look at Yu Ruyan's eyes, and muttered: "This matter is a long story, it will be unclear for a while, the princess wants to hear it, and when there is time in the future, the slave will be again..." I'll tell you again. ”

Yu Ruyan grabbed her and forced her to look at herself: "Come on, what happened?" ”

Tearful eyes were about to burst out of the embankment and were held back by gritted teeth, Brother An lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Princess, now is not the time to talk about this, while everyone in the building is having dinner in front, you should quickly escape through the back door." ”

"Let's go together!" Yu Ruyan held Brother An's hand tightly and refused to let go, although she didn't know what hardships she had suffered after leaving her, but now that she met her, it was impossible for her to stay in such a place again.

"Hmm!" Brother An raised his head and smiled at Yu Ruyan obediently, tied a black cloak to her, and pulled her along the corner of the wall to quietly run towards the back door of Qin Xianglou.

Along the way, Brother An held her hand tightly, for fear of leaving her behind, which couldn't help but remind her of the fact that when she was in the harem of Qi Kingdom, she took Brother An to secretly go to the library to peek at the books. At that time, she was grounded by her father for three months because of her confrontation with the imperial sister Yu Mingzhu, and it was really boring to be locked in a small palace, so she instigated Brother An to accompany her to her father's library to steal books, but she was seen by the guards, and they also ran back to the palace along the wall as carefully as tonight, but at that time, it was she who held the hand of Brother An, who was frightened, all the way······

Her eyes were extremely sour, looking at Brother An in front of her, she hadn't seen her for just a few months, why did she become like this? When she was allowed to escape from the barracks and return directly to Qi State, why did she live in Qinglou now?

The back door was close in front of her, Yu Ruyan's hanging heart finally landed, Brother An looked back at her steadily, and said softly: "Princess, wait for the next discharge door, you just run to the west, don't look back." ”

After speaking, she tiptoed open the back door, and the two didn't have time to step out, suddenly, the whole backyard sounded a piercing bell, and Yu Ruyan was shocked, knowing that they had touched the mechanism on the back door and was revealed. She didn't want to think about it, she picked up Brother An and fled to the west, but at this moment, Brother An suddenly turned around and pushed her forward, abandoned Yu Ruyan and turned around and fled towards the east alone.

Brother An's sudden move frightened Yu Ruyan, she fell to the ground stupidly, and when she came back to her senses, she had already seen countless courtyards with lanterns pouring out of Qin Xianglou, and they chased fiercely in the direction of Brother An's escape.

Qiu's mother shouted angrily: "The new girl has run away, you must arrest her back!" ”

Seeing Brother An, who was desperately running to the east, wearing clothes of the same color as himself, suddenly there was lightning in his heart, and Yu Ruyan's blood flowed backwards all over her body, and she couldn't stop trembling.

Her feet involuntarily wanted to step out, but in the end, the only remaining reason told her that if she went out now, not only would she not be able to save Brother An, but even she herself would be imprisoned again.

Only by escaping can I have a chance to come back to save Brother An.

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, and quietly ran to the west while everyone was looking to the east. From time to time, the injured knee was bitten by the corner of the wall, hung by a branch, and the bandaged place was broken again, oozing blood. But Yu Ruyan didn't feel pain, and one thought was to escape, and the farther away from Qin Xianglou the better······

Brother An was quickly arrested, and Qiu's mother couldn't help but be stunned when she saw that it was her, thinking of the deposit she had accepted for three days later, her scalp was numb, and she slapped her in the face with hatred, and said hatefully: "I'll settle accounts with you later." He turned his head to more than a dozen nursing homes and said angrily: "That stinky girl didn't escape for a long time, she had a leg injury, and she shouldn't be nearby if she didn't go too far." You're going to have to find her anyway, hurry! ”

Torches were in hand and people searched the streets. The sharp-eyed nursing home showed the blood stains left by Yu Ruyan, and chased along the blood stains all the way······

The silent streets were empty, except for the sound of their own panicked footsteps. Seeing the lights behind catching up, Yu Ruyan ran desperately forward, but there was an injury in her leg, and no matter how hard she tried, she was still revealed.

The people behind her chased more and more, and she panicked around looking for a place to hide, but the shops had long been closed, and there was nowhere to hide on the empty street, and she felt a burst of despair in her heart.

She ran in a panic, until she ran to the moat, looking at the river rolling below, a trace of fierceness flashed in her panicked eyes-

She would rather jump into the river than be caught back by them in Qin Xianglou!

The noise of footsteps is getting closer. Yu Ruyan stepped on the embankment with trembling legs, closed her eyes, took a deep breath of water and prepared to jump into the river-

At this moment, there was a sound of wheels in my ears. She opened her eyes suddenly, and saw a carriage coming not far away, coming towards her. Without thinking about it, she immediately jumped off the railing of the bridge, ran to the carriage without her life, and stopped in front of the carriage.

The little guy who was driving the car looked at the people who jumped out of the middle of the road in surprise, and before he had time to shout, Yu Ruyan jumped on the wheel quickly, lifted the curtain, and got into it with a 'whew'.

In the car, a young man in white clothes seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, and suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

The man's face was handsome and elegant, his dark eyes were shining, and his long black hair was casually draped over his shoulders. He sat quietly, his dark eyes as clear as a spring, like a piece of superb jade, which made people look at it for a lifetime and never forget it.

He looked at Yu Ruyan who suddenly broke in in a daze, and his brows twitched imperceptibly. Yu Ruyan begged in a panic: "Childe, please save me, there are wicked people who want to arrest me, please ask Childe to borrow a carriage to let me avoid it." ”

She said in a hurry, for fear that the man in white would drive her out of the car, and she didn't care about the injury on her knee, so she knelt in front of him with a thud.

The little guy who drove the car followed in, and drove her out of the car dissatisfied: "Where did the wild girl run out, climb into the car without making a sound, my son-in-law is in poor health, if he collides, ······"

The white-clothed man gently waved his hand to stop his words, glanced at Yu Ruyan quietly, and said slowly: "Qingcha, continue to hurry." ”

The little guy named Qingcha still wanted to persuade him not to leave this unknown woman, but because of his son-in-law's temperament, he would not regret the decision. I had to glare at Yu Ruyan, who was kneeling on the ground, and went out to drive.

Hearing Childe's words, Yu Ruyan's heart finally fell to the ground, and then she appeared, the face of the white-clothed boy seemed to be too pale, and his body was not very comfortable, she said guiltily: "I'm really sorry for bumping into Childe, and please forgive Childe." ”

Unexpectedly, the boy in white smiled at her when he heard this, and said gently: "Girl, don't panic, don't kneel if you have a leg injury." Get up! ”

Hearing him say this, Yu Ruyan realized that her knees were numb to pain, and the oozing blood stained the snow-white carpet on the car.

Seeing that her legs were injured so badly, the slender eyebrows of the white-clothed man furrowed slightly, and he was about to speak, when the carriage suddenly stopped, and there was a noisy voice outside, and the next moment, Qingcha came in with a black face, glared at Yu Ruyan, and said angrily: "Childe, the carriage was stopped by the people of Qin Xianglou, saying that a girl escaped from their building, suspected that she was in our car, and wanted to get on the car to search." After speaking, he glared at Yu Ruyan who was flustered.

Hearing this, she hurriedly opened her mouth to defend herself, and the man in white hurriedly signaled her to silence and said softly: "Just sit with peace of mind." Don't worry, it's okay. ”

His words seemed to have a kind of magic that made her panicked settle down instantly. After the boy in white finished speaking, he got out of the carriage with Qingcha.

Qin Xianglou's nursing home surrounded the carriage, and Qiu's mother also rushed over. was impatient to take people to search the carriage, and when he turned around and saw the person slowly coming down from the carriage, his heart was excited, and his face turned white unconsciously.

She never expected that the carriage she stopped turned out to be his, and she knew that she had caused a big disaster, but she was a person who had seen strong winds and waves, so she hurriedly ordered people to give way quickly, nodded and stepped forward to salute the boy in white.

Mother Qiu's charming phoenix eyes couldn't hide her fear, and she smiled cautiously: "It turned out to be Gongzi Yue, these dead minions really dare to stop your car, the little ones will definitely punish them well when they go back, and I hope that Gongzi will forgive me." ”

The man in white stood quietly beside the car, noncommittal when he heard the words, but smiled very lightly.

Qingcha on the side remembered the arrogant appearance of the person they stopped the car just now, and he was angry, and said angrily: "What? I just insisted that our son hid your girl, do you want to search the carriage now? ”

Mother Qiu turned pale with fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "It's the little one who has eyes and beads that offended Childe, please forgive Childe this time." Wait for tomorrow, the little one will be the east, and set up a table of banquets in Qinxiang Mansion to compensate the son, and I hope that the prince will forgive him a lot this time. ”

"Phew! Wouldn't such a filthy place be for my son-in-law? If you don't want to open the door to do business, our son is willing to ······"

"Qingcha, don't say a word." The white-clothed boy who called the prince of Yue stopped Qingcha, his face was calm and his tone was slightly cold: "Since there is nothing to do, let's continue to hurry." ”

Seeing the carriage out of sight, Qin Xianglou's nursing home said unwillingly: "Boss, this blood stain is gone by the side of the carriage, that girl is obviously hiding in the car, why doesn't the boss lady let us get in the car to search?" ”

Qin Xianglou is the largest green building in the Eastern Capital, and the dignitaries and nobles in the Eastern Capital go in and out, which will give Qiu's mother some face. Relying on these relationships, Qin Xianglou has always been high-profile in the Eastern Capital, and many people dare not offend him, so they will openly stop cars on the road to search, acting like an official yamen.

Mother Qiu looked at the carriage in the distance, she was resentful but helpless, she spat on the courtyard fiercely, and said viciously: "I don't know the depth of things, and I don't want to see who that person is?" Unless you don't want to open the door to do business in the Eastern Capital, don't mess with this Yue master. I can't bury the entire Qin Xianglou for one person. ”

The nurse's mind was tight, and when she wanted to understand who the Yue Gongzi in her mouth was, her face changed, and she couldn't believe it: "Could it be that this sick son just now is the No. 1 giant in Daliang, the rich Yue family member Yue Yu Gongzi?" ”

"Isn't it who else will there be?" Mother Qiu said coldly: "He is not only the number one giant in Daliang, he has done all the business in the world, and his business in other countries is also doing well, but he is richer than the emperor, that is what we dare to offend." Alas, this dead girl is also lucky, but unfortunately all my white money has been lost. ”

The carriage stopped in front of an inn, and the shopkeeper inside saw Qingcha busy coming out, and when he saw Yue Yu get off, he stepped forward in surprise to make a salute, and said happily: "The big boss is here, hurry, clean up the best yard and send the master in." ”

Finally escaped, and it was not until this moment that Yu Ruyan really breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she got out of the car, she said goodbye to Yue Yu and said gratefully: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the son, the little girl will be rewarded in the future." Only now I'm going back······"

"If the girl's leg injury is not treated, I am afraid that it will leave sequelae." Yue Yu looked at her quietly, her eyes were calm, "Save people to the end." Since you have gotten into my carriage, it means that the girl is destined for you. It's getting so late, so it's better to stay and heal your leg injury before going back. ”

Yu Ruyan's face was hesitant, she knew the rules of the palace, if she didn't return all night, she was afraid that someone would deliberately make trouble and drive herself out of the mansion. Now that she is penniless, has no fixed place, and has to find a way to save Brother An, she can only rely on Mu Lingzhi after thinking about it, so she can't make a mistake at this time and be kicked out of the palace.

Yue Yu seemed to see her worries, and said softly: "I'm afraid that the people of Qin Xianglou won't die so easily, if they are still guarding outside, won't the girl go back at this time and fall into the net?" If the girl is really not at ease, you can repair a book, and I will let the tea help you send it back, so that your family can rest assured. ”

Family!? What kind of family she has there, it's just that she is under the fence and is constrained by people everywhere.

Yu Ruyan finally agreed to stay, she asked Qingcha to bring a message to Mu Lingzhi, saying that she was drunk and broke her leg and couldn't go back for the time being.

After Mu Lingzhi learned that Yu Ruyan suddenly disappeared out of thin air, his heart was stuffy, as if his chest was stuffed with a ball of cotton.

He immediately led people to look around in the streets, but unfortunately he found nothing after an afternoon, and he was completely panicked, who had always been calm and wise.

Where would a drunken woman go? Could it be that someone kidnapped her? Or did someone see her and take her captive?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Mu Lingzhi's frowns were at a loss, and the copper coin on the side pouted when he saw it: "Master, will that girl run away under the pretext of the same as last time?" ”

Mu Lingzhi was stunned when he heard this, and his heart sank with a sigh.

It's not that this possibility is impossible, this woman often does things that ordinary people don't do, maybe Gu Qing'er's lesson to her last time made her retreat and didn't want to stay in the house anymore, so she deliberately pretended to be drunk and waited for an opportunity to escape······

Mu Lingzhi's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said coldly: "Go and inform the city gates, all the women who are now unidentified will be taken down, and they will not be allowed to go." ”

He had given her a chance to let her go, and he warned her that if she dared to run away again, he would not blame him for being ruthless!!

This night, Mu Lingzhi didn't go to any courtyard, and rested alone in the study. For some reason, his heart was inexplicably empty,

Someone like him who has never felt so much from himself. But tonight, he was restless, depressed, and empty, and he couldn't even read the war book.

He was about to summon copper money to come in and play chess with him, when he suddenly saw him rushing in from outside, and said happily: "Master, Miss Xiaoqing didn't run away, she just asked someone to come back with a message, saying that she fell and injured her leg after being drunk, and now she is recuperating from her injuries at Jinli Inn······"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Lingzhi had already gotten up and walked out, mounted his horse and went straight to the Jinli Inn.

Yu Ruyan listened to Yue Yu's words, obediently lay down on the beauty chair and straightened her legs. Yue Yu gently lifted the skirt, and when she saw the wound on her knee, she couldn't help but tighten her brows.

Rolling up his sleeves, he removed the strip of cloth that Brother An had simply bandaged for her before, and carefully cleaned her wounds with a clean cotton towel dipped in water.

Seeing him do it himself, Yu Ruyan was surprised: "I didn't expect that Gongzi would also know how to heal?" ”

He smiled lightly, and replied while helping her treat her wounds: "The girl must understand the truth of becoming a doctor after a long illness." ”

He smiled quietly and spoke in a gentle tone, but he couldn't hide the helplessness and sadness in his words.

Yu Ruyan's heart moved, and she hesitated for a moment and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, what is the disease of the son?" ”

The hand holding the cotton towel froze slightly, Yue Yu's dark eyes seemed to have a little spark flashing, the corners of his mouth curled, and he didn't mind: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's all old diseases brought out of the mother's womb, and they can't break the roots, so they can only be raised slowly." Thank you, girl, for your concern. ”

Compared with Mu Lingzhi, who is like an ice cube, Yue Yu gives her the feeling of being like a warm sun in winter, which makes people feel comfortable and comfortable. From beginning to end, he didn't ask a word about Yu Ruyan's identity and her entanglement with Qin Xianglou, but just carefully helped her take care of her wounds, looking focused.

Looking at the gentle man who was busy with himself in a daze, Yu Ruyan's heart warmed, and she said sincerely: "Childe, my name is Xiaoqing, I am the maidservant of the Third Prince's Mansion, and I haven't asked my benefactor for advice?" ”

"Just call me Yue Yu." He raised his head and smiled indifferently, not feeling the slightest discomfort at all because of her body, but just focused on rubbing the medicine for her wound, and did not forget to tell carefully: "Your knee is very injured, don't get wet until the wound is not scabbed, and try to avoid bending your knee to avoid tearing the wound." ”

After wiping the medicine and carefully bandaging her with gauze, he was extremely careful in the process of not hurting her. However, Yu Ruyan's entire knee was pierced like a hornet's nest, no matter how careful he was, she still broke out in a cold sweat, and her fingers pinched the edge of the chair.

"If it hurts, you cry out, why do you have to endure it?"

Yue Yu looked at her pain-bearing appearance, her eyes darkened, this girl seemed to be very similar to herself. He told her not to cry out in pain, but he himself was never like her, never in pain······

The pale little face squeezed out a smile, Yu Ruyan was in a cold sweat, and said with a weak smile: "I'm used to it." ”

Get used to it!

How much hardship did she endure to become the tenacity she is today!?

Yue Yu's dark eyes revealed a hint of obscurity, and he didn't want to evoke her sadness anymore, but just raised his head and gave her a warm and understanding smile.

Although it was only the first time she met him, Yu Ruyan found a sense of companionship in him. If the others heard her answer like this, they would have laughed at her doubly, but he didn't say anything, his eyes were warm and affirmative, as if he understood her pain.

In the quiet room, the night breeze passed through the hall, driving the elegant fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, and the candle flame was full of candles, outlining the handsome side face of the man. He raised his hand and handed a white jade porcelain bottle to her, and said softly: "This is my exclusive trauma medicine, you can use it, but unfortunately I only have this bottle with me, if you run out, you can come to me again." ”

"Where am I going to find you?"

"Why, you have settled your personal relationship so quickly!" Before he could reply, a voice suddenly sounded.

I don't know when the courtyard gate opened, and a man dressed in moon-white brocade strode in. His expression was not depressed, his face was covered with frost, and when he saw Yu Ruyan showing his legs in front of the man, his handsome face was completely black, as if he was about to freeze out of the ice.
