Chapter 74: No Way to Survive
"Princess, don't ask. ”
Qiu An knelt on the ground with a thud, and I found that her clothes were very shabby because of the punishment, but her face was still plain and beautiful, probably for fear that I would worry, and carefully covered it up before I woke up.
"It's the slave who is not good, and she can't protect the princess well. ”
My tears began to fall, too, down the corners of my eyes and onto the pillow under my head.
"You tell me everything else. "I know that she refuses to complain and no longer asks about Qiu An's injuries.
Qiuan nodded "um" and continued to tell me what happened after the coma.
At first, when the emperor saw that I was poisoned and unconscious, she put the weavers in prison for interrogation, but those weavers didn't know about it, and the pheasant pattern appeared on my underwear, and my underwear was not from the palace weavers.
In order to protect the innocence of the Jiao clan, Bai Rong paid Emperor Ming, and I bought the underwear for looking good in the world, and it has nothing to do with the Water Palace.
Therefore, I was locked up here, and Emperor Ji did not call a female doctor to detoxify me, but because Xia Ran was grateful for my kindness, she secretly stuffed a bottle of life-saving elixir to Qiu An without telling Emperor Ji and everyone, which could only let me wait for the poison in my body to not spread, and it could not be detoxified.
But the palace sacrifice can't be delayed, so Su Hanyan happened to take my seat.
I listened to Qiu'an, and I didn't feel a fuss, whether I have nothing to do with it this time, I can't escape death, after all, I have committed a taboo in the palace, not for punishment, just to cover up the ugliness, the emperor wants me to die, cover up the matter.
Although Sister Bai Rong didn't speak for me, I don't blame her, in that case, I will be implicated if I am not careful, not to mention that she also saved the whole clan.
"What about Zhiman, how is she now?"
I think of that little girl, her affection for me doesn't seem to be fake.
Qiu An said: "The witch Zhiman argued with the emperor for you, and asked the emperor to detoxify and heal you first, but the emperor refused, so that Zhiman was driven out of the Hesui Palace, although the witch had a high status in the imperial city, the emperor was the only one in the Hesui Palace, and the witch was not there, so the Zhiman witch went back to the Chao'an Palace to find her master." ”
"And then?"
I couldn't put it down, and continued to ask Qiu An.
Qiu An's eyes gradually became foggy, and he said to me helplessly: "Later, I was sent here with the princess, I didn't expect it, but now after a day and a night, no one comes, I am afraid that Lord Wugong will ......."
Qiu An didn't say any more after that, and his eyes suddenly turned gray.
"So much time has passed?" I couldn't help but look out, but the old tent next to the bed obscured my vision.
Seeing that I wanted to look out, Qiu An stood up and wanted to help me open the tent.
"That's it!" I sighed softly, I didn't want to bother anymore, what difference did I make if I couldn't see or see the outside?
"Those palace people arrested you and tortured you, right?"
I stared at Qiu'an, the pain in my body did not abate in the slightest, spreading into my heart.
Qiu An smiled bitterly, and seeing that the tears on my face were still flowing, she coaxed me and said, "Princess, the slave is fine, it doesn't hurt at all, really." ”
When she said this, I cried even harder, whimpering and saying, "I didn't protect you." ”
"Princess!" Qiu An's tears were falling down again, and she wiped them away with her hands, but with a smile on her face.
"Princess, the slave and maid follow you, it is willing, the slave and the maid are not afraid of hardships and suffering, the slave and maid only hope that you are well. ”
I also wanted to persuade and say something, but Qiu An's eyes lit up.
"Princess, your jade pendant and His Majesty's reward are all in the Yong'an Palace, if we can get it, we may still have a way to live. ”
Hearing her say this, I also have hope in my heart, if Xuanyue is here, I want to rely on the third woman, I can get rid of the poison in my body, and the Buddha grass Aya and the black mucuna are the tokens of the human emperor, maybe they can avoid a capital crime, and let me and Qiu'an go out of the imperial city.
I nodded happily at Qiu An, just worried about how I could return to the Yong'an Palace.
Qiu'an's face was also difficult, but he still wanted to give it a try, and dragged his injured body to the door, because they were locked outside, and there were guards guarding the door.
Qiu An knocked on the door twice from the inside out, and shouted affectionately to the door: "Brother Guard!"
The people outside didn't answer, and Qiu An shouted again: "Brother Guard!"
"What are you doing?" the guards outside had a bad attitude and roared back with Qiu'an.
"That's right. "Tyuan made a color to me, advised me not to care, and continued to talk to the outside.
"My princess has two important things in the Yong'an Palace, and I want to ask the two eldest brothers to help get them back, I wonder if I can be accommodating?"
"The slave and maid have their own thanks!" Qiu An added when he saw that there was no movement outside.
The guards outside replied to Qiu'an at this time, and their tone was even more disdainful: "Do you still treat yourself as a princess? Do you still think that you can marry His Majesty the Emperor and sit in the palace in the future?"
Although Qiu An was safe, but listening to the sarcasm of the guards outside, he still got angry, and forced himself down, and continued to say good words to the guards outside: "Where is the big brother of the guard, it's just that the princess is seriously injured now, I hope you can be accommodating, there are still a lot of gold and silver property in our princess's room, so I should comfort you, you can see it?"
The people outside refused without thinking about it, snorted coldly, and shouted to the two of us in the room arrogantly: "If you are badly injured, wait for death inside, why bother Lao Tzu." To tell you the truth, Emperor Ji ordered that no one should be rescued and pleaded, so you guys, just wait inside and wait for someone to clean it up. ”
Qiu An couldn't help it anymore and wanted to slam the door and reason with him.
"Alright. I lay on the bed and called Qiu'an, and told him, "Don't ask him, it's useless to ask again, let's wait in peace." ”
Qiu An saw that my heart was gradually dying, but she still said these words to deceive herself, so she had to nod and ignore the guards outside.
"Why is it silent, continue to beg me, I beg the uncle to be happy, maybe the uncle can find a better female corpse officer, and he will be more gentle with you, and he can have more hands and feet on the Huangquan Road." ”
Qiu An listened to him unbearable, gritted his teeth and endured it, his eyes flashing with hatred.
I looked at Qiu An, and only let her endure it for a while, in such a situation, if you can't bear it, what can you do?
"Okay, after all, we are guards, so let's say less about tormenting our master. ”
The guard next to him reminded the one just now, and the one who spoke wildly hadn't said anything yet, but after muttering a few words, he stopped.
"Qiu'an, I want to talk to you about something. ”
The slave listened. ”
Qiu An saw that I was serious, and the fire in her eyes dissipated, and she was as soft as a pool of spring water.
"Although I am not the real princess of the Jiao clan, but since I was a little Jiaowang Jiaohou, I have been very good to me, although the big witch is a little stricter, but in addition to the third woman, he is also the best for me. So, I am also the most favored daughter of the royal family in the Jiao clan, more favored than Brother Huaqing and Sister Bai Rong. ”
Qiu An heard me mention Bai Rong, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes, as if an old man like her in the palace couldn't see through it.
"The third woman's life is different from that of others, and no one in the Three Realms can force me to do anything, but I don't think so, I just want to be like an ordinary daughter, and I can live according to my own heart. ”
