Chapter Twenty-Nine: Xiao Zhao is rescued
"For the sake of today's plan, you have to go back to the north to avoid the limelight for a while, no matter what others say about you, you have to deny it as much as possible, remember." Concubine Yu continued.
Yazhu nodded blankly after hearing this, and said weakly:
"But many palace maids and eunuchs were present at that time...... That's how it can be good. She was fascinated at that time, and in order to confirm her affair with King Chen, she attracted many palace people to come to "catch the adulterer" in advance, but she didn't expect to lift a stone to shoot herself in the foot.
"It's okay, those people will be handed over to me......" Concubine Yu's eyes bloomed with murderous intent, and she said coldly.
Through this incident, Concubine Yu no longer dared to underestimate King Chen, I am afraid that he had already made his attitude clear to himself, if they could not become friends with each other, they would have to become enemies. Concubine Yu narrowed her beautifully shaped eyes, and her thoughts sank slightly.
Back at the palace, Pranyo Lang went directly to Moju Pavilion.
This time, Xiao Si of Moju Pavilion did not stop him, and directly let Pra Ruolang in, presumably it should have been ordered by Xiang Shaoqing.
Xiang Shaoqing was sitting at the stone table and drinking tea, surrounded by bamboo forests and clear springs accompanied by falling leaves, and a moon-white robe set off him with a dusty appearance.
"Lord Wang......" Pra Ruolang broke the silence with a loud voice, and there was some hesitation in his tone.
Xiang Shaoqing didn't raise his head, only let out a slight "Huh?" from his throat. ”
"Xiao Zhaoke found it?" Pranya asked.
"She was settled in a courtyard outside, and Lu Dayuan took care of her, so you don't have to worry." Xiang Shaoqing said lightly.
"Thank you."
Praruolang knew that Lu Dayuan might have some friendship for Xiao Zhao, and he must do his best to take care of her, but his heart was complicated for a while, and he silently wrote down Xiang Shaoqing's kindness.
Xiang Shaoqing frowned when he heard this, and said lightly to Pan Ruolang: "Come here." ”
Pranya Lang was stunned for a moment and replied, "Oh." ”
walked to the stone table and sat opposite Xiang Shaoqing.
At this time, Xiang Shaoqing's eyebrows and eyes were a little tired, and he said lightly: "I just came out of the palace, and I met the emperor this morning, and the emperor ordered you to go to the palace in two days to get married, and during this period, I will give you a secret guard, so as not to have any more accidents for you." ”
Praruo Lang was a little moved, seeing that he was a little tired between his eyebrows and eyes, he said with some guilt: "I'm sorry for bothering the prince." ”
"I just don't want to get the palace in trouble again." Xiang Shaoqing said coldly.
"Sorry...... Then have you found out who is behind the harm to Xiao Zhao? "She has been calculated several times, and she has been assassinated on the way to kiss before, it seems that there are quite a few people who want to be disadvantageous to this body, and she has indeed brought a lot of unnecessary trouble to the people around her.
"On the surface, this matter seems to be done by the Jade Concubine, but the specific situation is still uncertain, remember that you must be cautious in your words and deeds after entering the palace in two days, presumably the person behind this will not give up." Xiang Shaoqing said seriously.
"There is something that is rumored on the street today, you just came out of the palace, have you heard?" After hearing this, Pranya Lang nodded, thinking of what he had heard outside, and asked.
"Zao Wou-Ki has always been absurd and unreasonable, and he is bold, and the princess of the northern kingdom is too dead, and she is to blame. Actually, she didn't have to do it, but it was all of her own volition. Xiang Shaoqing bit the word voluntary a little hard, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.
Seeing him like this, Praruo Lang faintly felt that this matter was related to him, and felt a slight chill in his heart, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and asked, "Where did you arrange Xiao Zhao?" I would like to visit her. ”
After all, she still doesn't know what Xiao Zhao's condition is now, and she doesn't know what kind of torture she has suffered, even if she has Lu Dayuan's intimate care, after all, he is also a man, and he can't do everything.
"A private courtyard five hundred miles south of the outskirts of the city."
Pranya nodded, and was ready to get up and say goodbye: "So I will retire first." ”
"Wait."
Pranya Lang paused and asked puzzledly, "What else is going on?" ”
"I heard that there is a incense house called Rao Fuqin Snow Garden in the Imperial City now, the incense in it smells particularly good, and the incense sachet is also included when you buy incense, and I found that the incense sachet in this incense hall is the same as the embroidery method of the sachet you gave me." Xiang Shaoqing glanced at Pan Ruolang and said without being salty.
After hearing this, Pra Ruolang thought to herself, could it be that Xiang Shaoqing already knew about her opening an incense pavilion? Then he shouldn't embarrass her because of this, right?
Seeing Praruolang's appearance, Xiang Shaoqing was happy in his heart, and said lightly: "It seems that Langlang has thought of a way to make money, and he has even thought of the way to get rich by selling sachets." ”
"How can it, it's just a little craftsmanship......" Pan Ruolang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that Xiang Shaoqing should just guess that she had sold this embroidery method to others, and didn't know about her opening an incense pavilion.
Xiang Shaoqing naturally knew everything she was doing in the Imperial City, and the Wind Chasing Pavilion had passed the news as early as a few days when she was preparing for Rao Fuqin Snow Garden, but he didn't pay attention to it, and he also wanted to see how capable this princess of Yu Marsh Country could be.
"I don't like people wearing the same sachets as me." Xiang Shaoqing deliberately said with some seriousness, observing Pan Ruolang's expression as he spoke.
Pra Ruolang twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that he disliked that someone was wearing the same style as him, this domineering and selfish man, Pra Ruolang was a little speechless. However, she originally only gave the jingle cat embroidery to Xiang Shaoqing alone, so in fact, he could rest assured, thinking about it, he said:
"Don't worry, the cat on your sachet is the only one."
Xiang Shaoqing nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and said lightly: "In the future, you don't have to call me the prince in private, you can call me by my name, huh?" ”
Pra Ruolang secretly stuck out his tongue, this man is really changeable, he let him call his name for a while, he didn't let him call him for a while, and now he asked her to call him by his name in private, what a man who is really cloudy and round.
"Okay Shaoqing, then I'll take my leave."
"Hmm." Xiang Shaoqing made a sound from his nose and stopped talking.
At this time, it was still early, and Praruo Lang wanted to go to see Xiao Zhao today, but he didn't expect Xiang Shaoqing to send Liufeng to her and escort her to the suburban courtyard.
An hour later, a low-key and quaint carriage stopped steadily in front of a small courtyard in the suburbs.
Pranya got out of the carriage and saw that the appearance of this small courtyard was quite elegant and quiet, but it was a suitable place to recuperate.
"Didn't you say that she would wake up after giving her acupuncture?! Why hasn't she woken up yet! ”
There was a sudden roar in the courtyard, and when she heard that it was Lu Dayuan's voice, she secretly felt bad in her heart, so she hurried into the courtyard.
At this time, the scene in the courtyard came into view, there was a large open space in the small courtyard, and there was a small wing room standing behind, presumably Xiao Zhao should be in the wing room at this time.
There were about five or six little maids in front of the hospital, who were sweating profusely and boiling water to make herbal medicines, and a middle-aged doctor dressed as a middle-aged doctor carrying a medical box on his shoulder was bombarded by Lu Dayuan, and Lu Dayuan was still intermittently scolding what "quacks", "these are the first" and so on.
Everyone was in a mess, and naturally no one noticed that Pan Ruolang suddenly walked into the courtyard, and when Pan Ruolang saw this situation, he also expected that Xiao Zhao's situation must be not good, so he called Lu Dayuan out loud:
"Lu Gongzi."
Lu Dayuan was in a hurry when he heard a light female voice, turned his head and saw that Pan Ruolang had entered the courtyard without knowing when, and said again without waiting for him to answer.
"The prince told me that Xiao Zhao was sent here for recuperation, how is she doing now? Can I meet her? Although she pretended to be calm between her eyebrows, the anxiety between her eyebrows still reflected her uneasy mood at this time.
Lu Dayuan knew the relationship between Praruolang and Xiao Zhao, and his face softened, he should have been anxious about Xiao Zhao's affairs, so his white and fat face actually looked a little decadent, and at this time he said with a solemn look on his face:
"I came here early this morning after receiving news from King Chen, King Chen has already told me about this incident, I volunteered to take care of Xiao Zhao, but she has been in a coma from the beginning to the present, and has not ......woken up."
After hearing this, Praruo Lang no longer hesitated and immediately raised his feet and entered the wing room, there was only a table and some simple household facilities in the quiet wing room, and there was a white yarn in the inner room to block the outside, presumably Xiao Zhao was lying on the bed inside the white yarn.
Praruo Lang was a little overwhelmed at this time, and stepped forward and raised his slightly trembling hand to lift the white veil, and there was indeed a person lying on the bed behind the inner room of the white veil.
Xiao Zhao's eyes were tight at this time, his pale face was lifeless, his lips were still a little bruised, and he was wearing a clean dress that he had just changed.
Praruo Lang walked a little closer, reached out and stroked the broken hair on Xiao Zhao's forehead, the bruise on her lips stung Pra Ruolang's eyes, trembling slightly and opening her clothes, she found that Xiao Zhao also had bruises around her neck, and a sound of footsteps came, and Praruo Lang hurriedly tidied up Xiao Zhao's clothes.
"I heard from the maid who changed her clothes that her body was full of wounds, and there were some whip marks on her back, and I think she must have been abused by the vicious thief." Lu Dayuan lifted the white veil and walked in, gritted his teeth and said.
"She suffered...... But why hasn't she woken up yet? After hearing this, Praruo Lang felt uncomfortable in her heart, her fingers clenched tightly into fists, and she secretly swore that she would definitely avenge Xiao Zhao.
"The doctor said that she must have been subjected to inhuman torture before, so I'm afraid ...... It's because she doesn't want to wake up......" Lu Dayuan stared at the pale face on the bed, his heart was like a knife.
He has never had any contact with strange women since he was a child, and others have always laughed at him for being fat, saying that he looks like this and is still the son of a general. For more than 20 years, he finally met a woman he cared about, and this woman still didn't dislike him for being fat. After this incident, Lu Dayuan secretly swore in his heart that no matter what her identity was and what kind of torture she had experienced, he would protect her from now on.
Praruo Lang thought to herself, I'm afraid that what happened to Xiao Zhao has overshadowed her tolerance, so her subconscious mind is reluctant to wake up, and she blames herself even more in her heart, if it weren't for the goal of the person behind her, how could Xiao Zhao be tortured by this?
Thinking of Praruolang, she approached Xiao Zhao's ear, and although she didn't know if she could hear it, she still said:
"Xiao Zhao, wake up quickly...... Rest assured, I will give back ten times more than what you have suffered to those who have hurt you. You wake up now, Rao Fuqin Snow Garden still needs you to take care of it, I don't know who I am without you, Xiao Zhao...... Please...... Is it okay to wake up......" Praruo Lang said as a tear smashed on Xiao Zhao's face, and his tone was choked and depressed.
I don't know if Xiao Zhao heard these words, Lu Dayuan magically saw Xiao Zhao's finger move, and hurriedly shouted in surprise: "Xiao Zhao's finger just moved!" ”
