Chapter 17: He Became Angry (1)
After Huo Zun fell, he vomited blood, and was quickly carried out of the Qingtian King's Mansion by more than a dozen guards.
Along the way, hundreds of government soldiers opened the way on the street, and when the carriage rushed back to the general's mansion, there were already two imperial doctors waiting in the mansion early and were busy until the next morning.
On that day, she saw her father-in-law Huo Feng, the general of the Zhenguo University, for the first time.
In the courtyard of the Qingtian Palace, this fifty-year-old general was emaciated, but his eyes were as cold and domineering as Huo Zun, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, not angry but powerful.
She watched the conversation between Huo Feng and the King of Optimism from a distance, and knew that this matter had alarmed the emperor.
The emperor was furious, saying that swallowing the sword and entering the cave were both proposed by Kuo Tianchen, and if Huo Zun had an accident, he would let the Qingtian Palace's Mansion give an explanation.
Kuo Tianchen panicked at this time, in fact, he also knew that as long as the Zhenguo General's Mansion was still there, he couldn't hurt Huo Zun's life.
Originally, he just wanted to make Huo Zun ugly, and the person he really wanted to kill was Xia Qian, but he didn't expect Xia Qian to escape, but Huo Zun was almost killed by him.
The imperial doctor said that Huo Zun's throat and trachea were not lightly injured, but the fatal injuries were in the stomach and intestines.
It is said that after a scratch on the gastrointestinal wall, the wound caused by walking for a long time was further torn, and finally evolved into a massive stomach hemorrhage.
When the two imperial doctors were leaving, they repeatedly instructed: do not get out of bed for five days, treat with Chinese medicine for one month, and eat fluidly.
In the following days, Huo Zun lay quietly on the bed, his face was as white as paper, carefully served by Qingyue during the day, and taken care of by Xia Qian at night.
said that he was taking care of it, but in fact he did not add any burden to Xia Qian.
At night, he always goes to bed early. Early in the morning, he woke up after she woke up. Occasionally, when he couldn't sleep, he looked at her quietly, as if admiring a work of art.
Xia Qian avoided his gaze intentionally or unintentionally, because she felt a little guilty in her heart because of this accident.
If she hadn't wanted to take revenge on Huo Zun, the other party would never have had such a catastrophe. Moreover, if the other party hadn't looked for her in the cave for a few hours with injuries, he wouldn't have had a heavy stomach bleed.
Looking at his sleeping figure, she prayed silently, begging God to bless him to get better soon.
In this way, his humiliation of her and her revenge on him can be regarded as smoothing out.
Two days later, Huo Zun's complexion improved.
Xia Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about the escape.
As soon as she had the opportunity, she stared at the big plane tree in the yard in a daze.
She looked at it for a day, and finally found a way to climb the tree and jump over the wall from the big tree with twisted branches.
The wall is three or four meters high, but as long as she can get out of this courtyard, according to the route that the magpie said, she feels that it is not difficult to escape.
Huo Zun has been sleeping until dawn recently, and he is injured, unable to speak or get up.
There's no better time to escape.
The four hundred taels of silver that she used to be the Fengguan Xia Veil before, she kept half of it for herself, and the other half was given to Qingyue to keep for the expenses of the West Courtyard.
When night fell, she hastily packed up her clothes, took twenty taels of silver, and quietly hid them in the flowers in the corner.
The moon gradually crept out of the clouds, and the bright moonlight was like a silver veil on the earth, silent and soft.
Huo Zun's gaze fell on the big red curtain on the top of the bed, and his face was as calm as water.
Seeing that the corners of his lips were a little dry, Xia Qian fed him a few spoonfuls of ginseng soup on the table.
"Still drinking?" She asked softly.
He shook his head slightly, and his eyes showed a gentleness that was rare in a thousand years.
Suddenly, there was a shouting outside, and the west courtyard where they were staying quickly became chaotic.
The soldiers shouted to catch the assassin, and soon surrounded the courtyard.
After a careful search, they fixed their eyes on the people in the West Courtyard.
The guard said that it was a young woman who had flown in from outside.
Xia Qian has always accompanied Huo Zun, so naturally she is not suspicious. The youngest of Huo Zun's four maids has also served here for two years, and they are known to be non-martial artists.
Bai Bing and Yu Nuan are the maids assigned to Xia Qian by Kang Guo, although Huo Zun is the master of the Western Courtyard, but he is sick at the moment, and the guards discussed it and decided to report the matter to the general.
"The person you see is me!" Yu Nuan suddenly stood up.
Bai Bing immediately pulled her sleeve, Yu Nuan stepped forward, and said firmly to the guard: "Today is my father's death day, I want to burn some paper money for her, the general's mansion has strict rules, you can't make a fire without permission, and you don't allow us to go out." In desperation, I just sneaked out! ”
"Burn paper money for your father? Where did it burn? A bearded guard asked.
"Hope River!"
The guard stroked his beard and sneered, and said disdainfully, "So there is no proof of death?" The discipline of the general's palace is strict, whether it is family rules or military discipline, and those who go out without permission will be killed with a cane. The emperor ordered that those sent by Kang Guo who knew martial arts would be killed. These two taboos, the girl is in them! ”
"She didn't go out without permission, she did it with my permission!" Xia Qian walked out of the bedroom and said calmly.
Although she doesn't like these two maids, the three of them are both prosperous and lossy. If one person is exposed, the other two will naturally not survive.
"Young lady!"
The bearded man looked back, his hands clenched into fists, and his body bowed slightly, which was regarded as a salute.
"Today is indeed her father's death day, I allowed her to go out, and she doesn't know martial arts!"
Xia Qian was given a marriage by the emperor, and she was the young lady of their general's mansion.
The stakes are very high, and Huo Zun, who is recuperating in bed, cannot be alarmed, Fan Mang said that this matter must be handled by the general.
"Is it going to alarm my dad about such a big thing?" Huo Zun's voice came from behind everyone.
Seeing Huo Zun, the soldiers looked surprised.
A few days ago, their young master was seriously injured and vomited blood, and the imperial doctor worked all night.
Didn't you say that your life was in danger and you got out of bed so quickly?
"Young master, this maid knows martial arts!" The bearded python replied.
Xia Qian's ban on going out in the General's Mansion was Huo Zun's order, and the matter of her privately letting the maid out of the mansion should also be handled by Huo Zun.
It's just that "those who know martial arts will be killed" is an order personally issued by the emperor, and none of them dare to be sloppy, including Huo Zun.
"My maid, I know that she really doesn't know martial arts!" Xia Qian said in a firm tone.
Fan Python sneered, pointed to the courtyard wall and asked, "Young lady, we saw her appear on the courtyard wall with our own eyes, how did she go up with such a high wall, she didn't know martial arts?" ”
"Climb the tree!" She hesitated for a moment, then said seriously.
The guards looked at the trees near the courtyard wall for a long time, and finally their eyes fell on the largest plane tree.
The tree was a dozen paces away from the courtyard wall, its branches were disorganized, and the dense leaves had just begun to fall.
If they didn't have martial arts, they wouldn't be able to reach the courtyard wall.
Fan Mang looked at her in disbelief, and said with a stumbling tongue: "Young lady, if you don't have martial arts, let alone a girl's family, even we big men can't climb up?" ”
"She really doesn't have martial arts, but she did climb up!" Xia Qian replied calmly.
Huo Zun stared at the plane tree for a while, touched his throat and said a word clearly: "Climb!" ”
Although there is only one word, the voice is very hoarse, but the tone is tough.
Yu Nuan was stunned for a moment and walked towards the plane tree.
"You go climb!" His cold gaze fell on Xia Qian.
