Chapter Ninety-Nine: Arrival in Xinzhou (3)
"He'er, are you awake? How about it, you move your legs, you move your feet, can you still move? Before Qin Xiaoniang could wait for Song He'er to fully wake up, she asked anxiously.
"Wait, let her slow down, she hasn't woken up yet!" Zhang Xiu'e persuaded on the side.
Song He'er's vision gradually became clear, the warm and comfortable cushions seemed to be lying in the clouds, if it weren't for the dark and heavy military tent above her head, Song He'er really thought that she had gone to heaven.
"Auntie, I'm not dead."
"Silly boy, what nonsense?"
"Yes...... It was Jiang Huaifu's soldiers who saved me, he was poisoned, is he okay? ”
Qin Xiaoniang didn't think of her daughter's first sentence when she woke up, which was to ask the man if there was anything wrong, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
"He's fine, the doctor showed him, but he had a skin injury, and now it's bandaged and I've taken medicine, I think it's okay, right?"
When Song He'er heard this, she was about to sit up by holding her body.
"Auntie, didn't he suffer a skin injury...... Ahem, he was poisoned, I accidentally fell off a cliff, and he was stabbed by the thorns on the vines in order to save me...... It's me who is responsible for him, and I don't want him to die......"
Qin Xiaoniang looked at her daughter and was a little anxious, so she patiently explained, "He's really fine, several of us have seen it with our own eyes, but it's you, how could you fall off the cliff, thanks to His Royal Highness who saved you, otherwise if you fall off such a high cliff, can A-Niang still see you, ah?" ”
Zhang Xiu'e also echoed, "Yes, this time it's really your fate, but then again, I still have to thank others, but we are still in trouble with the imperial court, where are there valuable things to give to others?" ”
Song He'er knew the weather outside, the cold and snow had not melted for many years, and the temperature was extremely low.
How can such a man standing outside with a serious injury be able to stand it?
Thinking of this, Song He'er lifted the quilt and was about to go out, but as soon as her foot hit the ground, the person fell hard.
Qin Xiaoniang helped her up and complained: "What are you doing, you almost lost your life due to hypothermia, your hands and feet are still frozen and stiff, and now you are finally recovering, you must have no strength, what are you going to do, A-Niang will go for you." ”
Song He'er didn't want to owe Jiang Huaifu anything more, after all, they would really be completely separated in the next two days, and probably they would not see each other again in this life, if he was disabled because of this, then she would not be at ease in this life.
"A-Niang, I'm fine, as long as I get dressed, my body will naturally recover, you go...... Call him in, don't let him get cold outside, the toxins in his body are not completely forced out, carry it like this, sooner or later something bad will happen! ”
Qin Xiaoniang looked at her daughter distressedly, but turned her head to look at Jiang Huaifu, who was sitting on the stone outside, her face was pale, and she was indeed a little unbearable in her heart.
She is a soft-hearted person, never selfish, only for herself, and it is also distressing to see other people's children suffer so much.
What's more, Jiang Huaifu is still the benefactor who once saved her daughter, and it is even more impossible for her to watch others suffering from the cold outside.
"Okay, A-Niang, Mrs. Zhang, these children are fine, let's take them out, although the carriage is gone, we take a few pieces of skin and wrap the children, and sit under the rocks without wind, so it won't be so cold!"
Zhang Xiu'e nodded, "I see." ”
Now there are a lot fewer children, except for Brother Huan, it was the youngest of the two children of Su Yu's daughter-in-law's family, but now there is no mother and three, there are only two children of Li Qiang's daughter-in-law's family, and Sister Nian of Zhang Xiu'e's family, and the youngest is the youngest son of Brother Huan and Wang San, so counted, but there are only five children.
After Qin Xiaoniang went out, she cautiously came to Jiang Huaifu's side.
Jiang Huaifu thought that something had happened to Song He'er, and his spirit suddenly became nervous.
"Your Highness, you go in and rest, it's too cold here, He'er has woken up, and there is nothing wrong with your body."
Hearing that Song He'er was in good health, Jiang Huaifu was completely relieved.
Then, he waved his hand lightly and rejected Qin Xiaoniang's kindness.
"That's it, this king is here, and when she is fully recovered, it won't be too late for you to hurry."
Qin Xiaoniang looked at Jiang Huaifu, who did not have a trace of blood on her face, and felt a little guilty in her heart, "I have been delayed for more than half a day today, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave, but tomorrow, we must set off, thank Your Highness for taking care of us for many days, we are unforgettable, but now we have no long things, and we can't repay you......"
Jiang Huaifu's words were often 'key points', he only cared about the sentence 'I have to leave early tomorrow morning', and when he heard Qin Xiaoniang leave in such a hurry, his face suddenly showed a worried look.
"How to get there tomorrow? Your carriages, vegetables, and quilts have all been lost on the way to escape, so it's better to wait for tomorrow, and the king will send someone to Luancheng to buy it, and it will only take a day or two to go back and forth, and at most the day after tomorrow will be back, and it will not be too late to leave then? ”
Qin Xiaoniang smiled and politely rejected Jiang Huaifu's kindness.
"Xinzhou is a wild place for exiled prisoners in the Central Plains, and the people who go there are to be punished, not to enjoy the blessings, no matter how much His Royal Highness gives them, I am afraid that they will not be used, first, we have nowhere to consume, and secondly, when passing the post station, they must be searched and inspected by local officials, and after registering their names, they can enter smoothly, thank you for your kindness......"
Hearing her say this, Jiang Huaifu was suddenly a little disappointed, and then coughed violently.
The medical officer next to him hurriedly helped him, "Hurry up and help His Highness down to the tent, his physical condition can't be cold!" ”
The soldier hurriedly stepped forward and set him up and was about to walk towards the tent, but Jiang Huaifu insisted on refusing.
"Let go of this king!"
"Your Highness! If you have any mistakes, how can your subordinates explain to the king and the mother! ”
Qin Xiaoniang stepped forward, personally helped Jiang Huaifu up, and patiently persuaded her, "I have no shame in my heart, it doesn't hurt for the two of them to be in the same room, I am He'er's biological mother, I believe in my daughter, and I also believe in His Highness's character, and I also ask His Highness to go in and receive treatment from the medical officer." ”
Jiang Huaifu's temper was very strong, but because Qin Xiaoniang was an elder, it was difficult to twist it again, so he could only follow the medical officer into the tent......
Song He'er had already hid to the side at this time, leaving Jiang Huaifu with a large open space.
The medical officer put Jiang Huaifu, whose face was as white as paper, on the blanket, and then carefully checked his pulse.
"How is he?" Song He'er asked weakly.
The medical officer shook his head, "It's not good, it's better to return to the palace as soon as possible, it's true to take care of it, the environment here is really not suitable for recuperation, His Royal Highness's wounds have been frozen again and again, and now they are bruised and ulcerated, so don't insist anymore, hurry back to the palace......"
