Chapter 556: A terrifying dream, the person in the dream will never return
Because she stood for too long to watch the battle in the city tower, and suffered from the wind and cold, Du Wei felt top-heavy after going back.
Linglong invited Mr. Cui, administered needles and dispensed medicines, and was busy until dawn to let her fever subside.
Du Wei slept very unsteadily this night, even if the high fever subsided, she still frowned from time to time in her dreams.
She seemed to be in a vast snowfield, unable to see her surroundings clearly, only to hear the sound of the symphony of soldiers, she stumbled through the snow, trying to find a way out, and suddenly stumbled under her feet, as if she had stepped on something.
When I lowered my head, I saw that the snow was gradually melting, and a strange bright red was faintly revealed from below, as if it was ...... The color of blood.
She stood up, just wanting to get out of the place she was feeling uneasy about.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Wei'er? ”
Her whole body froze.
It was as if someone had grabbed her bare feet.
She looked down and was shocked to see half of her face under the melted snow...... It is carved out of ice and snow, without the slightest vitality.
"Ahh She heard an exclamation, and it was coming out of her mouth.
She was awakened by her own screams.
"Miss!" Linglong was standing by the bed, and when she woke up, she hurriedly took a cotton cloth to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead.
Du Wei was panting, the dream just now was too terrifying, even if she woke up, she would still have palpitations.
"What time is it?" She asked Linglong.
"It's almost noon." Linglong replied, tested the temperature of her forehead with her hand, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, it didn't burn again, Miss, you scared the slave to death, don't be so willful in the future." ”
Du Wei smiled bitterly, "It's not that I'm willful, but I have to do it." ”
Linglong knew who she was worried about, so she didn't mention it anymore, but brought warm water and served her to drink.
"By the way, the King of England are back?" She asked Linglong.
Linglong took the teacup she had finished drinking away and looked away, "No...... Haven't come back yet. ”
Du Wei couldn't help frowning, it had been more than half a day since last night when Feng Duhan led the troops to reinforce until now, and he should be back when he counted the time.
"But what's the news coming back?" She continued to ask.
"This ...... The slave doesn't know. Linglong said nervously: "Miss, you are so resting, there are naturally people to deal with the affairs over there, probably because the snow is heavy, and it is not easy to walk on the way back......"
"It's snowing again?" Du Wei turned her head sideways to look at the window.
Although the window is closed, if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of snow flakes hitting the outside of the window.
Yu'er came in with a freshly boiled decoction, in the past, Du Wei would definitely push back when she drank the medicine, but today she didn't even say half a word, and took it directly.
Linglong still had candied fruit in her hand, but Du Wei didn't ask her for it after drinking the medicine, just stared at the window quietly, as if she couldn't feel the bitterness of the decoction just now.
The two maids could only sigh secretly when they saw her like this.
Because of the medicinal effect of the decoction, Du Wei fell asleep again after a while, and when she woke up again, it was night.
"No news yet?" Du Wei couldn't lie down anymore, and her clothes seemed to be about to get out of bed.
Linglong hurriedly stopped, "Miss, it's dark and snowy outside now, where are you going!" ”
Du Wei reluctantly fell back to the bed, but every time she stayed here for an extra second, the uneasiness in her heart would increase, especially the ominous dream before, which made her fidget.
At this moment, Yu'er suddenly ran in from outside, "Miss, the King of England, they're back!" ”
Du Wei couldn't help but be happy in her heart, "When did it happen?" ”
"Just ......"
Du Wei exhaled a long breath, and after the tension in her whole body suddenly relaxed, an inexplicable tiredness hit her heart.
Linglong served her again and lay down, and in a daze, she fell asleep again.
Faintly, she heard someone whispering in the outhouse.
"What to do? If the young lady knew about it, she would be in a hurry! ”
"I didn't expect that only the King of England and Tsing Yi came back......"
"Shhhh
"Maybe the prince will come back later, so don't tell Miss yet, and talk about it until dawn......"
Only King Ying and Tsing Yi came back?
For a moment, Du Wei felt as if her heart had been pierced by a sharp blade, and the blood all over her body seemed to be coagulated.
Tsing Yi has always been with the wind and twilight cold, how could he come back alone with the king? Could it be ...... Or is something wrong?
There was a sudden sharp pain in her chest, and in a whirlwind, she fainted.
The news of the mighty general's failure to return quickly spread among the army, and the entire Cold Sand City fell into a sluggish atmosphere.
Outside the council chamber, several sergeants gathered in one place and whispered.
"If the mighty general doesn't come back after tonight, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky."
"I heard that even the chief of the guard beside the mighty general was seriously injured and has not woken up yet."
"His Royal Highness was also wounded this time, although it was not serious, but only a thousand of the five thousand light horsemen who went to meet him returned...... Presumably, they were ambushed by enemy troops in the mountains to the north. ”
Du Wei was wrapped in a thick fox fur and slowly walked past those people.
Linglong peeked at Du Wei's face from time to time, for fear that she would be so heavy that it would irritate her heart palpitations.
Du Wei seemed to be deaf to the discussions of the people around her, but her face was even paler, and even her lips lost their blood, like a thin frost.
Inside the Council Chamber.
The King of England sat behind the table in plain clothes, and the brazier beside him was blazing.
King Kang Le sat opposite him, looking at the map on the table, his expression was solemn, and a few strands of blood faintly appeared in his eyes, obviously he had not closed his eyes all night.
"No news yet." King Kang Le sighed slightly, "The wind and snow have covered all the traces, and even the scouts sent out can't find a single clue." ”
The king's gaze fell fixedly on the map in front of him, "If this king remembers well, the prince should not leave here." He pointed to a place on the map with his fingertips, "At that time, we encountered the 5,000 men and horses ambushed there by the Northern Army, but they were not the opponents of the 5,000 light horsemen of the Prince of the World at all, but who would have thought that there were 2,000 of them ambushed in the mountains, if it weren't for the desperate fight of the Prince of the World to fight his way out, I guess this king would not be sitting here today." ”
King Kang Le's eyebrows frowned, "Although this may not be said by this king, but this matter is indeed caused by you, no matter what, you must find the mighty general, whether ......it is life or death."
The king sighed, accidentally touched the wound on his body, and his body shook slightly.
The attendants on the side hurriedly came over to help, but were stopped by the king raising his hand.
Seeing this, King Kang Le said: "You don't have to be too reluctant, even Tsing Yi is injured like that, it is not easy for you to get out of the whole body, it is better to go and rest early." ”
The king bowed his head slightly, "Lord Kang Le doesn't have to worry, this king can still hold on, and he will go back after seeing her......"
King Kang Le suddenly fell silent, some things must be made clear, blindly concealing it will only cause more tragedy, but how to speak after seeing her? Even King Kang Le was a little worried about this.
At this moment, someone outside the door said: "The princess of the Southern King has arrived." ”
