Chapter 4 Knowing the person, knowing the face, not knowing the heart
Time passed little by little, no one came in the broken temple, Bai Canghai knew that he couldn't wait here anymore to die, so he took a deep breath and crawled towards the temple gate with all his strength.
Panting and climbing a few meters, Bai Canghai suddenly felt dizzy, he really couldn't support it, if he continued, I was afraid that if he didn't wait to climb to the temple gate, he would have to die of exhaustion in this broken temple.
'Squeak' ......
At this moment, a sound of pushing the door suddenly came into Bai Canghai's ears.
For Bai Canghai, this is probably the best sound of opening the door that he has ever heard in his life.
Bai Canghai lay on the ground, laboriously turned sideways and looked up, only to see that the dilapidated temple gate was really opened, and two figures, an old man and a young man, walked at the temple gate.
Before he could see the appearance of the two of them, Bai Canghai lay on the ground weakly, and he was about to pass out again......
"Hey, there's someone here. The two people who walked into the broken temple obviously also discovered Bai Canghai's existence, and the thin figure stepped forward quickly, and after trying it under Bai Canghai's nose, the warbler turned his head softly and said: "Steward Su, he is still angry, you save him......"
Although Bai Canghai, who had his eyes closed, was extremely weak, his consciousness was still awake, and he felt warm after hearing this.
It's just that the old man who was called Steward Su by this girl didn't immediately rescue himself as Bai Canghai expected, but turned around and inspected the broken temple, and after making sure that Bai Canghai was the only one in the broken temple, he unhurriedly untied a water bladder on his waist and fed Bai Canghai a few sips of water to drink.
The water is sweet, although it can't satisfy the stomach, but for Bai Canghai, a person who has been hungry for several days, it is more important than other physical objects, if he is directly fed some dry food, with Bai Canghai's now weak body, I am afraid it will be unbearable.
After feeding the water, the old man dragged Bai Canghai back to the original corner.
This made Bai Canghai feel a little crying and laughing, if he knew this, why did he bother to crawl to the temple gate, just sit here and wait.
It's just that what made Bai Canghai feel very depressed was that the old man who was once the housekeeper of Su by the little girl, after putting himself back in the corner, seemed to have forgotten about himself, and did not prepare some liquid food for himself to eat as he imagined.
This made Bai Canghai feel very depressed, the clear water could only nourish his stomach and intestines, so that he would not die of thirst, and could not relieve the hunger in his stomach.
Fortunately, the little girl was kind-hearted, and she saw that Bai Canghai was really hungry, so she asked Steward Su again to get Bai Canghai something to eat.
But who knew that Steward Su shook his head and said, "County Lord, now that we are unable to protect ourselves, where do we have the leisure to save others?"
"Why did Steward Su say this?" The little girl retorted with a righteous face: "Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, if the mother concubine has a spirit in the sky, knowing that I don't save it when I see death, I'm afraid she will also complain about me." β
"Hey ......" Listening to the little girl's words, Steward Su seemed to be touched, shook his head and sighed: "The county lord is kind-hearted, the princess is dedicated to worshipping the Buddha, and the prince is also loyal, why did he suffer from this great disaster?
"My father and queen mother must be framed by traitors......" Hearing Steward Su mention this matter, although the little girl was sad and wept, she rarely showed a trace of perseverance and said: "Uncle Huang will definitely wash away the grievances of my father and princess!"
Steward Su shook his head and said, "The county lord is still too naΓ―ve, if this matter is not allowed by your imperial uncle, who would dare to openly slaughter the palace of the 'one-word side by side king'?"
"No, someone must have deceived the imperial uncle, I want to go to see him, he will understand after listening to my explanation!" The little girl still didn't believe it: "Steward Su, you are the most trusted person of your father, you can quickly think of a way to take me to see the imperial uncle......"
"County Lord!" Steward Su interrupted her, "County Lord, we finally escaped from the palace, if we go back at this time, I am afraid that we will be killed before we see the emperor." β
"Sube, why is that?" the little girl wept sadly.
"The husband is not guilty of his crimes, but the prince got the 'water spirit bead' but did not go to the court, and it is inevitable to invite this catastrophe. Steward Su sighed, then changed his words and asked the little girl: "County Lord, that water spirit bead is the treasure of heaven and earth, the prince gave up his life to find it for you, you must keep it well, don't fall into the hands of traitors!"
"Steward Su, rest assured, the water spirit bead has been properly placed by me. The little girl nodded.
"That's good, that's good!" Steward Su also nodded, and seemed to be not very relieved, and said with concern: "Now that the palace has been sealed, if the water spirit bead is still in the mansion, won't they find it sooner or later?"
"Steward Su can rest assured, the water spirit bead is not in the palace, they can't find it. The little girl said confidently.
"That's good, that's good. Su Guan took a breath, but muttered to himself: "It's good not to be in the palace, it must be that the prince handed over to his cronies for safekeeping, when something happened in the palace, Mo Datong, the guard in the palace, happened to be not there, could it be that the water spirit bead was on his body?"
The little girl didn't doubt it, and opened her mouth to say: "Steward Su doesn't have to guess, the water spirit bead is no longer on Master Mo's body, but on the ......"
'Cough', just as the little girl was about to tell the whereabouts of the water spirit bead, she recovered a trace of strength, and Bai Canghai, who had been listening to it for a long time, finally couldn't help but moan, and immediately attracted the little girl's attention.
"Ah, you're awake!" The little girl immediately ran to Bai Canghai's side, and beckoned Steward Su behind her, "Hurry up and bring something to eat." β
was suddenly interrupted by Bai Canghai, Steward Su's face obviously showed a trace of gloom, looking at Bai Canghai's eyes with a hint of murderous intent, but he concealed it well, reached out and threw the water bladder to Bai Canghai, and took a piece of cake from the package behind him and threw it over.
Seeing the food, Bai Canghai's eyes glowed green, he was really hungry, and he didn't know where he got the strength, he grabbed the cake and took a bite, and was just about to swallow it but woke up, so he took another sip of water, and after the cake melted in his mouth and the water, he swallowed it slowly.
Looking at Bai Canghai eating cakes, Steward Su was slightly stunned, thinking that Bai Canghai was so hungry that he would eat bread regardless of it, and it was very possible to be choked to death by a dry and hard flatbread, but who would have thought that he would be able to endure his hunger and eat slowly with water, which was really beyond Steward Su's expectations.
Of course, Steward Su was only slightly surprised, then ignored Bai Canghai, pulled the little county lord to the side, and asked in a low voice with Bai Canghai behind his back: "County lord, the matter of the prince getting the water spirit bead is top secret, and few people in the entire palace know about it, do you know who leaked the news?"
The little county lord shook his head: "I have heard my father talk about this matter, and my father also suspected that there was a traitor in the mansion, and sent Mo Guard to investigate the matter thoroughly. β
"Mo Datong, the prince sent him?" Steward Su whispered softly, and then changed his words, "That traitor, could it be Mo Datong himself?"
"How is this possible?" the little girl shook her head again and again, "The matter of my father's acquisition of the water spirit bead, except for me and my mother, only you and Mo Huwei know, you are all the most trusted people by your father, how could it be that you leaked it?"
Steward Su shook his head and said: "County Lord! As the so-called knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, have you ever thought that as the prince's personal guard, when something happened in the palace, why was he not in the palace? If it weren't for the old slave who fought with his life to save you, I am afraid that you and I would not be able to escape the doom." Now that I think about it, Mo Datong is the most suspicious, if you meet this person, you need to pay more attention, and you can't tell the whereabouts of the water spirit bead, so as not to be poison......ed by him."
