Chapter Twenty-Eight: Pretending to Faint and Returning Home
Mao Leyan was actually a little worried that King Qing would embarrass the Mao family, but after thinking about it, he probably wouldn't, he knew that she was not Mao Xuelian, and Mao Xuelian's family basically had nothing to do with her. It's just that he was very worried about Mao Xuelian's mother at the beginning, I don't know if he will feel that he is hiding in Mao's house?
It was useless to think about it, she wrapped the tattered quilt tightly, this quilt was thrown out by Liu Hong when she saw a family, so she picked it up and gave it to Mao Leyan. Mao Leyan has relied on this quilt to keep out the cold for the past two days.
It's okay to wear it, but the food makes her a little tired, it's all pork, and she is sick to her stomach when she sees pork now, and the snow covers the mountains, and there are no wild vegetables and fruits here, and there is no enjoyment if you want to find some green. When a person has no food to eat, it turns out to be such a miserable thing, she vows that she will never laugh at those who are forced by life to do the work they do not want to do.
The days of being the king of the mountain are indeed free, if you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you will be much happier here than the palace. At least, Xiao Er, Scholar, Liu Hong and the others are said to be wandering ghosts, but at least they are very good, and they don't have to worry about offending them, because their measurements are very large, even if they sometimes laugh at them, they will smile shyly.
Since this morning, she has been feeling dizzy and has a bit of a cough and runny nose, and as a doctor, of course, she knows that she has been attacked by cold germs. She really regretted that she didn't study Chinese medicine in the first place, otherwise she would be able to dispel the cold and sterilize the cold by pulling some herbs in the mountains now.
It's been five days, Mao Leyan still hasn't heard any news, the entire capital has almost been searched, and all the inns have been found, and there is no one who is afraid of her to stay.
In two days, the concubine will return home. King Qing was afraid, angry, and worried. Where the hell did she go? Could it be that he has already left the capital?
At dusk, the guards came back to recover their lives, but they still found nothing.
The head of the guard, Ah Xin, hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, there is one thing, my subordinates don't know whether to say it or not!" ”
King Qing frowned, "What should I say and not say?" Say what you should say, and rot in your stomach if you don't! ”
Ashin hesitated, decided not to say it, and said, "It's an inconsequential matter, just don't say it!" ”
King Qing glared at him and said, "Say! ”
Ah Xin's eyebrows raised slightly, and he secretly looked at King Qing's face before he said: "When Fang Cai's subordinates came back, he met Yang Zhutou, he went to the riverside to handle the case, and I heard that a female corpse was found, about twenty years old, who was starved to death, and her clothes were stripped off, probably ...... Probably ......"
"Probably what?" King Qing was furiously confused by his tone, and asked angrily, "You said that! ”
Ashin was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Yang Zhutou said that he was probably violated!" ”
King Qing's face suddenly became very frightened, and he grabbed Ashin's collar and said angrily, "Why don't you follow and take a look?" ”
Ashin stammered in fright, "Subordinate..... The subordinates don't think it should be the eighteen little masters......"
"Bastard!" King Qing let go of him, and his body rushed out like a whirlwind, and Ashin and the others hurriedly followed.
There were many onlookers on the riverside, and they quickly pulled up the defense line to collect evidence, and no one was allowed to enter.
And Mao Leyan, who was extremely bored on the mountain, also hid Xiao Er and the scholar in his sleeves and went down the mountain to watch the excitement. The broken temple where she is located is because she has used a trick, so now she can only see people, but people can't see where the broken temple is.
The broken temple is located on the top of the mountain, so you can clearly see what is happening below, Mao Leyan saw so many people watching, there must be a lively to see, it was originally found by King Qing, but it has been on the mountain for so many days, it is really boring, so she went down the mountain to breathe and sweat, in the morning she simply felt that she was having a fever, and her forehead was hot. Later, I drank several glasses of water, and it was better, but my stomach began to feel uncomfortable again. I guess the pork is starting to go sour.
Hygiene is a big problem!
She was still wearing two thin clothes, and the tattered quilt naturally couldn't be wrapped down the mountain, except that it was her only property at the moment and she didn't want to be damaged, she also wanted to save face, she didn't want to be treated as a beggar, although her current situation was no better than that of a beggar.
Before she squeezed into the crowd, her stomach began to cramp again, she found a secluded place to release Xiao Er and the scholar, and when she saw some daylight, she gave Xiao Er and the scholar a yin spirit talisman, which was enough for them to live on a cloudy day and the sun was not obvious for two or three hours.
She found a mess of grass and squatted down, and she naturally didn't notice the arrival of King Qing and his people when she was doing big things.
King Qing went straight into the blockade line, and he was conducting an autopsy, the body was turned over, and he couldn't see the appearance clearly, but his height and figure were very similar to Mao Leyan. King Qing chuckled in his heart, and looked at the female corpse in front of him in disbelief.
"See the prince!" The catchers recognized him and stepped forward to salute.
King Qing only felt that his throat was on fire, but there was a lack of sweat on his head, and he asked in a dumb voice, "Is your identity confirmed?" ”
Yang Zhutou shook his head: "Not yet, but I have ordered someone to search the missing files, but there is no result so far." ”
"Turn it over!" King Qing's heart was empty for a while, if it was really eighteen, it was that he killed her.
Quickly turned over the corpse, King Qing breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't her!
When I was rejoicing, I suddenly remembered that Eighteen had said that she was disguised, could she be like this in the first place? King Qing was in a hurry, so he reached out to hold hands with the corpse, he had taken the hand of eighteen, and knew the size of her hand bones.
However, this was a female corpse, the body was stiff, and he felt like it, but he didn't feel like it.
"Does the prince recognize this woman?" Seeing him like this, Yang Zhutou asked.
King Qing shook his head: "I don't know if it's someone this king knows, but this king has a friend who disappeared a few days ago, and this king came to see if it's her!" ”
"Isn't that so?" Yang Zhutou thinks he is a little weird, can't he just look at people? Why hold hands? After seeing the appearance, he said that he didn't know if he knew someone, which was really puzzling.
After Mao Leyan finished the big thing, she walked to the blockade line and dissected the corpse, which was her strong point. When she thinks back to the days of studying medicine and internships, it was really dark.
King Qing turned around, trying to find some evidence from all over to prove the woman's identity, he raised his head, and just saw a woman in white walking around, he immediately shouted: "Mao Eighteen! ”
Mao Leyan was stunned for two seconds before he remembered that the so-called Mao Eighteen was himself. In the two seconds of distraction, King Qing had already rushed to her side, grabbed her shoulders and shook her vigorously, "Where did you go, bastard?" Do you know how long this king has been looking for you? Hey? Why are your hands so cold? No, why is your forehead so hot? Damn, you're sick! ”
Mao Leyan secretly screamed in her heart, her eyes passed through King Qing and looked at the guards who were swarming behind him, escape? Or pretending to be dizzy? Pretend to be stunned and wait for an opportunity to escape.
She rolled her eyes, leaned back, and suddenly remembered that there were all small gravels behind her, and she couldn't help but secretly complain. But as soon as her body began to fall back, King Qing hugged her waist, she only felt that she was suddenly picked up by someone in the air, and with an anxious call, her cheek was slapped twice, dead man, you will die if you are light?
She collapsed into his arms with her eyes closed, feigning to be unconscious. He seemed to be worried about her, could it be that he had already found out the matter and knew that he had wronged her? Her heart was suddenly filled with joy, no longer having to eat spoiled pork, no longer having to wrap in a torn quilt. She was full of cows in her heart, when did she start to be so superficial, and regarded material things as the source of happiness.
In this way, Mao Leyan, who pretended to be unconscious, was sent back to the palace, the day before the concubine returned home.
The doctor came to diagnose Mao Leyan and prescribed several pairs of medicines. ordered Xiao Shu to fry it in person, Xiao Shu and Fan'er saw her come back, and saw that she had suffered so much, and they were so distressed that they didn't know what to say. Hurriedly waited for Zhang Luo, Zhang Luo, and that to go. Fan'er wiped her face clean, went to boil hot water again, and when she woke up, she bathed and dressed up, and followed her for so long, I haven't seen her so embarrassed.
King Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at her worriedly, the doctor said that she had been sick for a few days, and now she had a high fever, her pulse was very unstable, and she would have convulsions when she had a high fever. So he personally guarded Mao Leyan.
Mao Leyan pretended to be dizzy at first, but when her body touched the soft bed, the drowsiness came overwhelmingly and swept her in an instant.
fell asleep so deeply, even King Qing picked her up and poured medicine, she just opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw King Qing, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then thought she was dreaming, and muttered: "You can't find me!" Then, he continued to fall in the crook of her arm.
King Qing looked at her, slightly worried. sighed softly, then let her go to sleep, and said to Xiao Shu: "This king also goes to take a bath, you guys are so good, this king will come back in half an hour!" ”
Xiao Shu said: "Don't worry, lord, the slave will be optimistic about the little master!" ”
King Qing snorted, glanced at Mao Leyan, just now he hugged her all the way back, a sour smell, he has a habit of cleanliness, if it was in the past, he would have run away when he saw dirty things, and he didn't even want to take two steps closer, let alone come back with a piece of smelly things in person.
He walked to the door, thought about it and came back and said: "This king should wait for her to wake up before leaving, the doctor just said that her high fever has not gone away, this king has to wait for her to wake up and order her to take a bath, the doctor said that this can reduce the fever." ”
Xiao Shu smiled and said: "The prince cares about the little master so much, she must be very happy to know it, but the prince, you better go back and change your clothes first, anyway, the slave didn't wake up so quickly when she saw the little master." ”
King Qing smelled the smell on his body, and said in disgust: "It really stinks, then the king went back first." ”
Xiao Shu sent him out of the door, with an ambiguous smile on his face, it seems that the prince has a heart for the little master.
Seeing the smile on the corner of her mouth, Fan Er also asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Xiao Shu poked her head and said, "I don't have the power to see, the prince is interested in the little master!" ”
Fan Er pouted: "He's guilty!" ”
Xiao Shu shrugged, whether it was guilt or liking, in short, the look in his eyes was no longer disgusted.
