The group of people waited without stopping, and it only took an hour to return to the camp. Ao Ben called the doctor to diagnose and treat Bai Wanqiong. The doctor said that there was nothing serious, he just suffered from some wind and cold, so he made two doses of decoction, drank it, and slept again.
It will recover on its own.
Aoben immediately asked people to cook some medicine, fed Bai Wanqiong to drink it himself, and watched her lie down. Then he squatted down next to her and looked at her with concern: "Duo'er, what do you think? Are you feeling better?
"
"You've been working hard all night and you're tired. Don't pay attention to me. Go and have a rest."
"No." Ao Ben shook his head, with a hint of determination flashing in his eyes: "From today on, I will always guard you and will never let you be harmed again."
"Your Highness?"
"You don't have to say anything." He stretched out two fingers and gently pressed her lips, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "You know? Tonight, my heart was almost hanging in my throat, just
I'm afraid that you might make any mistakes, and I really don't want to experience that feeling of worrying about gains and losses."
She didn't speak, just looked at him quietly for a long time, then buried her head.
"It has been a long time."
"What did you say?"
"It's been a long time. No one cares about me so much except daddy."
"Fool." He gently stroked Bai Wanqiong's bun: "When a man deeply falls in love with a woman, he will naturally regard her as his entire life."
"All of life?" Bai Wanqiong murmured softly.
"Yes." Aoben looked solemnly: "You are my favorite person in my life."
"..."
"Too many things happened tonight, you must be unhappy, right? Let me sing a song to you, okay?"
"You can also sing?" Bai Wanqiong's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Listen." Ao Ben grinned, and then began to hum softly: "Under the Cangshan Mountain, by the Yun River, the golden flowers are blooming towards the sun..."
I have to say that Ao Ben has a good voice, mellow and deep, which makes people feel comfortable listening to it.
Bai Wanqiong slowly closed her eyes in this comfort and warmth.
When she woke up, Bai Wanqiong subconsciously said: "Your Highness..."
"Your Highness has gone out."
What answered her was a soft female voice.
Bai Wanqiong suddenly opened her eyes wide: "You, why are you here?"
"The little girl was personally appointed by His Highness to serve the girl." The other party replied in a gentle and polite manner, neither humble nor overbearing.
"I'm sorry." Bai Wanqiong turned her head and looked away, not touching her clear and cold eyes: "I failed to fulfill my promise to you."
"Girl, there is no need to worry about it." Nan Xuanjing placed a pile of clean clothes in front of her: "As long as the girl is well, then every female slave living here will have hope. I just ask the girl to enjoy her own life."
When you are happy, don’t forget the misfortunes of others.”
Bai Wanqiong turned her head and looked at her very seriously for the first time - although she gave her a very different feeling from the first moment she saw her, she still couldn't remember her appearance, probably because
Too many things happened recently, which made me a little panicked.
"I, I remember it all."
"That's good." She looked at Bai Wanqiong and showed a smile, then stood up and bowed deeply to her: "Xuanjing knows a little bit about the world and is the best at observing faces. A girl's life is extremely noble. Maybe
…”
"Maybe?"
"I can't see clearly either." Nan Xuanjing shook her head: "Misfortune is where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortune lies. I only hope that the girl will listen to her heart and not be disturbed by external things, so that natural disasters will be far away."
After Nan Xuanjing finished speaking, she took the clothes that Bai Wanqiong had changed and stood up to leave, leaving her in the tent, meditating silently.
"What's wrong?" I don't know when, Ao Ben's voice suddenly sounded: "Looking at you, you are worried. Could it be that you have encountered some trouble again? Let me hear it."
"It's nothing." Bai Wanqiong shook her head. She didn't care about herself now, but ran away——
"What's going on in Miguli?"
"Don't worry, I have already reported it to the king, and someone will take care of it. What you should be thinking about now is how to become my most beautiful bride!"
"I was sighing. Why was that man so stupid that he would give up on you?"
"Maybe." Bai Wanqiong lowered her head and looked at her feet: "Maybe it's because he doesn't have this blessing."
"Then me," his eyes were shining like stars: "Do I have this blessing? To be with you for the rest of my life? Do I?"
"Yes." Bai Wanqiong answered him with a smile.
"Duo'er!" He couldn't help but hug her into his arms, hold her tightly, and kiss her cheek: "Ah, Duo'er."
Bai Wanqiong has never felt such true love from a man. Even when he was with Ah Chen, he always behaved very reservedly.
"Duo'er, wait for me."
Ao Ben hugged her tightly, showing all kinds of reluctance and attachment.
"Go quickly." Bai Wanqiong pushed him and watched him walk out of the tent before sighing softly.
"You are indeed a smart woman." A cold voice suddenly sounded.
Bai Wanqiong looked sideways and met Nan Xuanjing's icy eyes again.
"You seem to be very concerned about my affairs?"
"It doesn't matter." The corners of Nan Xuanjing's lips raised slightly: "Everyone has their own purpose in living in this world, and my purpose is to return to the Southern Dynasty with the help of you, and only you can help
Come to me."
"Heh." Bai Wanqiong smiled softly: "You really think highly of me."
"It's not that I think highly of you, but you are no better than before. I can see that Prince Ao Ben is sincere to you. No matter what request you make, he will satisfy you."
Bai Wanqiong looked at this woman very seriously again, and had to admit that her intelligence was beyond her imagination.
"Remember what I told you?"
"of course I remember."
"Yes." Bai Wanqiong nodded: "Just remember. What you have to do now is to close your mouth and do things in silence."
"yes."
Aoben came back very quickly.
Much faster than she imagined.
In addition, she did not expect that the marriage customs in Heiyi were much simpler than those in the Southern Dynasties - as long as both the man and the woman were willing, or more importantly, as long as the man was willing, the wedding could be held, and they could choose their own wedding.
Bai Wanqiong felt very complicated as she was about to become another man's bride so soon. Aoben was very considerate of her. All her utensils, including the food she ate, were taken care of by people from the Southern Dynasties.
He was a prince, and with just one word, something that ordinary people could not imagine would be in front of her in the blink of an eye, for her to enjoy.
Under Aoben's careful care, Bai Wanqiong's mood gradually calmed down, and she even prayed secretly that she could live in peace with him until she grows old. She may still have some regrets in her heart, but for her, it is already very important.
So relieved.
"What are you thinking about?" That night, Bai Wanqiong was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror in a daze, when a voice suddenly rang in her ears, and a hand immediately put on her shoulder.
"Ao Ben."
"Um?"
"Have you ever liked other women before?"
"Yes." He replied very honestly.
"Really?" I didn't expect that he would answer so directly.
"real."
"Then why didn't you marry her?"
"She doesn't like me."
"Don't like you?" Bai Wanqiong was surprised.
Ao Ben leaned over and pinched her little nose gently: "Do you think all women will like me?"
"Of course, you are so good, so gentle and affectionate, any woman will like you."
"You are wrong." Ao Ben shook his head: "What you see, what you are familiar with, is just my gentle side, but you have never seen -"
"What?"
"Many things are not as simple as you think." Ao Ben touched Bai Wanqiong's head: "The meeting of two people often depends on fate. If there is no fate, even if they are close in front of you, they are still far away."
"I can't believe you would say such a thing."
"Well, the two of us have met. This means that God is very happy with us and we should be together well."
"Yes." Bai Wanqiong nodded and put her arms around his waist.
Suddenly there was a "bang" and thunder exploded outside the tent. Bai Wanqiong raised her head in excitement, and then heard raindrops pouring down.
Ao Ben also had a flash of disbelief in his eyes, and looked down at her: "You wait here, don't run around, I'll go out and take a look."
The candlelight flickered, casting a faint shadow on the tent wall. Bai Wanqiong grabbed the comb on the table with one hand and suddenly felt her heart sinking little by little.
"Qiong'er." Aoben suddenly rushed in, his face looking very ugly.
"What's wrong?"
"Hurry up and pack your things and follow me. The Tianhe River is about to burst its banks."
"What?"
"I don't have time to tell you so much." He held her up with one hand, packed up a few clothes hastily, and rushed outside. When he looked outside the tent, he saw heavy rain pouring down, and water pools quickly formed on the ground.
"Bring my horse!" Ao Ben shouted, and immediately a soldier came over with the horse. He first turned over and jumped on the horse's back, and then brought Bai Wanqiong up with him.
"Send the order, everyone will form a team immediately and retreat to the Tielang Mountain area."
"Yes!" The soldier took the order and left, and Aoben took her running quickly.
Bai Wanqiong lay in his arms and looked at the dense rain curtain through her cloak. She still felt particularly calm because she knew very well what kind of man Aoben was. From now on, no matter what happened, he would always be by her side.
around.
The sky gradually brightens, and the majestic outline of Tielang Mountain emerges in the sky. A layer of white mist is vaguely shrouded at the foot of the mountain, making it look particularly mysterious.
"Look, Duo'er." Ao Ben reined in his horse: "In front of you is Tielang Mountain. Did you know that it is a famous mountain? There is a big stone pillar standing on the top of the mountain. It is said that it goes straight to the kingdom of heaven."
"Really?" Bai Wanqiong looked up, but only saw a vast white mist.
The following people came one after another and set up camp at the foot of the mountain.
Aoben always took good care of her, so even though she was "escaped", her brilliance did not diminish at all. Instead, she looked very beautiful because of her peace of mind and carefreeness in recent days. (
