Chapter 210: Saved
The man's whole body was hidden in the black cloak, Wu Qiong couldn't see his face clearly, this was the first time he had come into close contact with the secret guard.
"Back to the Hou Ye, the other party followed from the beginning, but I am afraid that it is not from Beiyan, but from the capital, we have fought with it, and we have not taken half of the advantage. β
"Hurry up and get some water. β
"Yes. β
The Dark Guard disappeared and vanished.
Wu Qiong went over cautiously, "Master Hou, seventeen people have died." β
Ling Xin's brows furrowed, "Set off immediately, rush to the next place, there is a big river fifty miles away." β
The water in the bladder was obviously no longer drinkable, Ling Xin's lips were chapped, and he could even feel that his voice had changed.
He needs water very much now, and he doesn't know if there is a big river fifty miles away, but if he stays, he is afraid that everyone will not want to leave.
The team started overnight.
The secret guards searched for water everywhere, dug and dug in damp places, and then filtered through the clothing materials, and finally drew a few water bladders back, but Ling Xin did not drink at all, and handed it all over to the thirsty soldiers.
Wu Qiong watched everyone drink water one by one, and sitting on the horse, he began to swallow saliva.
He was also thirsty, but it was obvious that Hou Ye was even thirstier, but he didn't drink it.
"Let's work hard, walk dozens of miles, and everyone can drink water freely. β
In the dark night, the cold wind howled, the horses galloped, and everyone was in good spirits if they had divine help.
When Han Rui woke up again, she found that her mind was clouded, she sat up suddenly, and looked at the top of her head, it was actually her Qionghuayuan's bedroom, and the girl Qiu Ju was serving beside her, and she had been in charge of her Qionghuayuan's girl, she didn't serve closely, only guarded the door when she was not in the house.
"How can this palace be in the mansion?"
Qiu Ju brought a bowl of medicine on the table and fed her carefully.
"It was Senior Pei who came back with the princess. β
Knowing what she had to do, Qiu Ju said: "Don't worry, eldest princess, the emperor is fine, Senior Pei has already personally sent him into the palace." β
Han Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "Where's Rouge?"
"Rouge is fine, the old-timers have already connected the bones for her, but she has to cultivate for a month or two. β
Qi Yuan came in from outside, she was also injured, and one hand was hanging.
"How are you?"
Qi Yuan shook her head, "I have rough skin and thick meat, how can there be something, but mine is not, if I don't talk about the excitement outside the palace, how can it cause this trouble, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of Pei's seniors, I'm afraid it will make a big mistake." β
"It's because we're going out of the palace to play, you don't have to take any blame on yourself. β
"How does the princess feel?"
Han Rui pointed to her throat, "It hurts a lot." β
Qi Yuan motioned to her not to speak: "When Senior Pei arrived, the princess was almost strangled to death, and the princess hurt her throat, so she had to take care of it for a few days." β
No wonder his voice is so hoarse and ugly.
"Where's Commander Ding?"
"He was seriously injured, and at this moment, the Imperial Doctor may have gone to Dingfu. β
Han Rui sighed in her heart, the Ding family has been passed down for several generations, and several generations have galloped on the battlefield, making great contributions to Dazhao, and tonight is even more for escort.
"How long has Senior Pei been gone?
"The emperor is fine, a little skin injury, the medicine has been applied, Pei senior has been gone for about a quarter of an hour, and he should come back in another quarter of an hour. β
"When she comes back, remember to tell me. β
This is for Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju nodded yes.
"Help me to see Rouge. β
The medicine is not bitter, and even a little sweet, I think it is the prescription prescribed by the old-timers, and it is different from the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor in the palace.
Qi Yuan helped her to pour a room on the side of the main house of Qionghua Garden, which belonged to Rouge's separate room, and even she, as a personal palace maid, was served by a little girl.
The door was open, and there was a faint smell of medicine in the room.
Han Rui pushed them away, and Rouge happened to be leaning against the head of the bed, and saw her coming and struggling to get off the ground.
Fortunately, Qi Yuan stepped forward and held her down a few steps, "The eldest princess doesn't care, you can't go down to the ground now, don't be reckless." β
"Thank you princess, but if there is a next time, the slave and maid hope that the princess will not take care of the slave and maid. β
She looked at Han Rui, and before she knew it, her face was full of tears.
Han Rui sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand and squeezed out a smile, and lifted the quilt to look at the wrapped leg like a dumpling, wouldn't she be until the bone hurts, especially if there is no anesthetic in this place.
"It's okay, the slave doesn't hurt. β
Not hurting is fake, how can it not hurt.
It was easy for a few people to persuade Han Rui, and the little girl came to report that the old man was back.
Only then did Han Rui carefully tell the girl who was waiting for Rouge a few words, and instructed Yiying to take the medicinal materials from the warehouse, and there was no need to ask for instructions.
"The eldest princess, go back and rest, the slave is fine." β
Rouge repeatedly urged her to go, and Qi Yuan and Qiu Ju helped her leave.
Pei Qiniang was already waiting, she was sitting at the table, she didn't know what she was thinking, and when Han Rui came in, she just poured a cup of tea and continued to think.
Obviously, there were a lot of questions in his heart, but the other party didn't speak, and Han Rui still held back.
Finally, Pei Qiniang put down the teacup and seemed to have figured it out.
"Princess, do you remember that day in the princess's mansion, I said that I put Gu worms on a person?"
"Could it be that this is the person who attacked tonight?"
Pei Qiniang nodded, "That's right, I've been chasing him for a few days, and his light skills are good, it just so happens that I arrived when I was chasing him tonight, otherwise I'm afraid that the emperor and the princess will become corpses at this time." β
She said it very politely.
But at this moment, no one dared to refute.
She was telling the truth, if it weren't for her tonight, Han Rui would have died long ago.
She got up and walked to Pei Qiniang and saluted solemnly: "Thank you seniors for saving your life again." β
Pei Qiniang waved her hand, very indifferent: "The old woman said that this is not to invite merit, although I am from southern Xinjiang, but the king of southern Xinjiang is tyrannical and brutal, and now the people of southern Xinjiang are living very well, and it is inevitable to change the dynasty, there is nothing to resist, maybe it is not the royal family of southern Xinjiang, and there is really no deep affection for southern Xinjiang." β
"The old-timers are for the well-being of the people of the world, and Chu Rui is deeply admired. β
Indeed, the imperial court has sent people to southern Xinjiang, and even provided a lot of things for the people of southern Xinjiang and taught them technology, and the people of southern Xinjiang are living better than before.
"Don't talk about clichΓ©s, tonight's incident must have something to do with King Han. β
Han Rui sat back silently, "Is that person still alive?"
If someone identifies it, wouldn't it be easy to expose the disguise of the Han King and then kill him in one fell swoop.
"Dead, the situation at that time could not be captured alive, he was poisoned by Xiaoqing's poison and died of poison. β
She understated.
