In Dolgon's eyes, Yu'er's face was tired and haggard, he hoped that Yu'er could stay here and rest for a few days, they spent four days walking the road of ordinary people for almost eight or nine days, and if they continued like this, they were afraid that before they saw Ah Zhe, Yu'er fell first.

Da Yu'er guessed his mind and smiled slightly: "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

The old woman could see that this couple was not husband and wife, and she could also see that their status was obviously higher than that of women, presumably the wives of high-ranking officials and nobles from the capital.

Also, the way this military master looked at his wife......

"I'll go to the village to get two bowls of rice wine." The old lady put down her food and pulled the headscarf on her head, "Wait a minute. ”

"We're on our way, we don't drink, so you don't have to bother," said Dolgon. ”

The old woman smiled and said, "If the rice wine is not intoxicating, it will warm the body." ”

She staggered away, walking very slowly, back and forth, and after some time, Da Yu'er turned back into the house, sat down by the charcoal basin to keep warm, and said to Dolgon: "In the future, I will send someone here to take care of her, and then ask the old lady if she has children and grandchildren, and if she is a good person, it is good to find them an errand." ”

Dolgon said, "I will naturally arrange it, don't worry." ”

He took a few steps closer and saw Yu'er with gauze wrapped around her hands.

The day before yesterday, it was discovered that Yu'er's palm had a blood blister. Even though she has not wasted her body for so many years, the hard work of traveling day and night, except for Dolgon, who has been marching and fighting all her life, and who have already grinded a thick layer of cocoons on her hands, ordinary people can hardly bear it, not to mention that Yu'er has been pampered all her life and has never suffered.

"I'm fine." Da Yu'er shook her hand and pointed to the roast pheasant on the side, "Bring it to me to eat, I'm just hungry." ”

Dolgon wiped his hand, tore a chicken leg with his bare hands and handed it to her, Yu'er smiled, "You can eat it too, I can't finish it." ”

She stuffed the meat into her mouth in a big gulp, and she couldn't taste anything, but she only knew that she had the strength to go back to Horqin by trying to eat, and she had to hold on for two or three days to go.

"Don't choke, eat slowly." Dorgon picked up a bowl of water and handed it to her, "Drink some water." ”

Yu'er reached out to take it, hand to hand touch, but Dolgon subconsciously put down the tea bowl and held her scarred hand in the palm of her hand.

"Don't do this, I'm fine." Yu'er put down the food, withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes, and said, "What will Qi Qige think about this incident, no matter how he explains it, it won't work." ”

"She believed what I said." Dolgon said.

"You think she's a fool?" Yu'er smiled bitterly, "She's so smart, she doesn't believe in you, she just chooses to believe in you." ”

"That can't be helped." "I'm sorry for her," said Dolgon. ”

"Why are you sorry for her, why me?" Tears appeared in Da Yu'er's eyes, "But if it weren't for you, as soon as Huang Taiji died, who would be able to protect me." You see that you didn't have time to come back in Hetuala, Haug almost killed me, Dolgon, if you hadn't liked me in this life, would you have killed me like Hauge? ”

Dolgon nodded, "Yes, neither you nor Fu Lin will survive, because I am going to be the emperor." ”

Da Yu'er let out a long sigh: "Huang Taiji just left, does he know that because of you, I won't be wronged?" ”

Dolgon was very calm: "His health is not good, he is at the end, you have to think that he left you to find Hai Lanzhu, he will only suffer for the rest of his life." If Hai Lanzhu hadn't appeared and Huang Taiji was gone, you wouldn't have thought so. ”

Yu'er shook her head: "We are all talking stupid, in this world, what ifs." Don't mention ......."

She picked up the food again, gulped it into her mouth, choked for a moment, and Dolgon immediately brought the tea to her lips and stroked her back with one hand to calm her down.

Da Yu'er slowed down, her eyebrows were already red, and she looked at Dolgon in confusion, they were so close that Dolgon only had to bow her head to touch Yu'er's face and kiss her lips.

Here, without any constraints, he can do what he wants without any scruples. But his affection for Yu'er, although he can't suppress his lust when it's hot, but for so many years, he has loved this woman, not her body, and the Yu'er he has been longing for is definitely not her body.

"Dolgon, I'm using you, you know?" Da Yu'er's eyes were hazy with tears, she was tired, tired, she was about to lose it, "Why did you come here?" Aren't you afraid of this life and not getting anything in return? ”

Dolgon shook his head without hesitation: "I don't want anything in return. ”

The heat of the charcoal basin blocked the cold outside the house, and their breathing gradually became unsteady with each other, and Yu'er's tears and helplessness stimulated every drop of Dolgon's blood, and he finally let go of his hand.

"I'm not completely taken advantage of by you, we both put knives against each other's throats." "It depends on who can stab the first one." Yu'er, if I can't be an emperor in my life, there is only one reason, and that is for you. But for this reason, I will not regret it, and I will not be unwilling. ”

"What about Zizig?" Yu'er said, "She may be crying at home now, and I can feel all her pain." ”

"She will have her own choice, and I, not Huang Taiji." Dorgon stood up and sighed with relief, "Yu'er, thank you for not pushing me away. ”

"But I'm using you, Dolgon, sober up." Yu'er's emotions were very excited.

"I'll judge for myself, I'm not stupid, I'm sober." Dolgon smiled lightly and shoved the chicken into her hand again, "Eat more, and we'll continue on our way tomorrow." ”

"You're a fool, you're a madman...... Yu'er was in great pain.

Dolgon hugged her violently and held her tightly in his arms: "I'm here, don't be afraid." ”

Da Yu'er's emotions are completely broken, she worries about her seriously ill daughter, and she also thinks about the hurt Zizige, she has no choice but Dolgon, but she keeps using him to hurt him.

"My child, why is God torturing me like this, what have I done wrong, what has my child done wrong?" For the first time, she was in the arms of a man other than her husband, crying heartbreakingly.

Outside the house, the old woman who called for rice wine, heard the woman's cry through the door, she sighed softly, put the rice wine in the courtyard, and turned to leave.

Three days later, Da Yu'er finally arrived in Horqin.

Mongolia lives as a nomadic herder, and her hometown is an endless steppe for her, and there are no fixed streets and houses like Shengjing and Beijing. But the memories brought by the yurt are deeply rooted in her blood and bones, and as soon as she sets foot on this land, everything is familiar.

At this moment, even the news that Dolgon was going to Khalkha had not yet reached Korqin, but Da Yu'er had already arrived, and everyone looked at her and Dolgon's appearance in astonishment, and hurriedly went to inform the prince Taiji.

Yu'er was led to the yurt where Ah Zhe lived, and Yatu and Atul, who had been taking care of their sister here for a long time, got the news and ran out of the yurt, and after saying "Eniang", they cried in her arms.

On the sickbed, when the weak little princess opened her eyes and saw her mother, Ah Zhe froze.

My mother was covered in dust, her hair was messy from the wind, her white skin was cracked, and her hands were wrapped in gauze, and blood was leaking through the gauze and dried up into black-brown blood.

Ah Zhe knew how far Horqin was from Beijing, and she thought that she would never see her mother again.

Da Yu'er carefully held her daughter in her arms: "E-Niang is here, A-Zhe, E-Niang is here." ”

At the end of the year, on the way to the capital, a cold almost killed Ah Zhe, although it was relieved, but her body did not improve at all, she had been lying down for more than two months, and she had to breathe for a long time even when she sat up and drank medicine.

"E-niang...... So far away......" The child struggled to open his mouth to speak, tears kept falling, "so far away......"

"Not far away, E-Niang came on horseback." The child in his arms, thin and only bones remained, Yu'er's heart broke into pieces, "Ah Zhe, who knows that my Ah Zhe misses me, I came." ”

"I miss ......you so much," said the frail child, word for word, and raised her hand tremblingly, reaching for the hem of Yu'er's dress, as if to see if the whip marks she had seen on her mother before she got married were still there.

But before the raised hand touched the mother's collar, it fell heavily.

Da Yu'er's heart trembled suddenly, she looked down at the child in her arms, and Ah Zhe closed her eyes forever with a smile.

"You open your eyes and look at Eniang, Eniang is here." Da Yu'er rubbed her daughter's cheek vigorously, "Open your eyes and look at me......"

Outside the yurt, Dolgon was talking to Azhe's forehead and in-laws, when he suddenly heard Yu'er's cry, and he immediately broke in.

I saw Yu'er holding the daughter in her arms, scolding everyone like crazy, not allowing them to get close, and not allowing anyone to snatch her child.

"E-niang, E-niang......"

"Ah Zhe ......"

The cries came and went, and Dorgon's legs went a little weak, if it had been a day earlier, or if it had been a step too late...... He suddenly regretted that he probably shouldn't have let Yu'er come, and he shouldn't have let her watch his child die in his arms.

"Send news to the capital." Dolgon stiffened out and ordered, "Report to the Queen Mother and the Emperor." ”
