When Song Qinghuan woke up, what he saw when he opened his eyes was the azure tent. He was confused for a moment and didn't know where he was.
Xunmei was standing guard by the bed. When she saw any movement, her face lit up with joy and she called out, "Princess."
Song Qinghuan snorted lightly, and then asked again: "Does the princess feel uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want me to call the doctor?"
Song Qinghuan felt it. Apart from feeling a dry and sore throat, he didn't feel any discomfort at all. He said, "No need."
After a pause, he remembered the incident of falling into the water, and asked hurriedly: "Where is Sister Tong?"
Seeing that her voice was hoarse, Xunmei said, "How are you, little princess? I just came to see the princess."
Then he made a cup of honey water and helped Song Qinghuan get up to drink it.
The honey water entered my throat and I felt better.
Xunmei helped her lie down again, without asking, and said in a nagging voice: "Princess, you have been sleeping for two days. If you don't wake up, the prince will be in trouble. The little princess will come to see you every now and then."
You look like you're about to cry every time you leave."
Song Qinghuan felt a little hungry, so he said to Xunmei, "Is there anything to eat?"
Then he asked again: "How did the little princess and I save ourselves? Have those men in black been caught?"
Xunmei first stood up and ordered people to prepare food, then sat down next to Song Qinghuan and said: "The princess and the little princess were saved thanks to the two girls who painted the boat."
That night, Song Qinghuan took Xiao Jingtong and fell into the water. She was a three-legged cat and knew a little about water.
It happened that Xiao Jingtong was extremely afraid of water. No matter what she said, the little girl hugged her tightly, making it difficult for her to move.
It was raining heavily and there were those men in black, so I was very nervous. After thrashing in the water a few times, I lost all my strength.
Song Qinghuan choked on the water and fell unconscious, so Xiao Jingtong couldn't take care of him.
Fuliu's boat was burned, so she had no choice but to jump into the water to escape. They all grew up by the water, and their water quality was very good. They were like fish when they got into the water.
Although Miss Fuliu was not of a good background, she still had a good heart. Even though the boat was burning down, Xiao Ci had no intention of saving them, but the two girls still managed to rescue Song Qinghuan and Xiao Jingtong ashore.
Fortunately, they saved people, otherwise if something happened, Xiao Ci would not even let them go.
Liujian sensed something was wrong, so he led his people to rescue him. Because the rain was too heavy and it was night, the men in black didn't catch anyone alive.
Instead, several bodies were fished out of the river.
When encountering such a thing, Xiao Ci did not continue on his way. Instead, he abstained from going to court and went to the magistrate to thoroughly investigate the origins of those people.
The place where the ship docked was just a small state capital. The prefect had been an official here for ten consecutive years and never got promoted, just because his performance was mediocre.
There hasn't been any major incident in this prefecture for more than ten years. As a result, as soon as Xiao Ci's ship pulled over, these men in black poured out. The prefect knew that these people were brought by Prince Rui, so he didn't dare to tell them, so he had to send the yamen officers to
The post house is guarded. As for investigating the origins of these men in black, he really doesn't have the ability.
Xunmei talked nonchalantly, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile when she mentioned the prefect: "The princess doesn't know, but the prefect's appearance is really remarkable."
This state capital is not big, nor is it rich. The prefect is also extremely poor. When he was summoned by Xiao Ci in a hurry, he had just come down from the fields. He still had one leg of his trousers still on, and his shoes were full of dirt.
It's soil.
He was not a strong man, but he was quite tall. He was dark and thin, and had a handful of tiger hair. He asked several maids to call him "Black Monkey" in private.
Song Qinghuan was not interested in these people. After hearing Xunmei talk about it once, he treated it as a joke.
After the little maid brought the food, she sat up and used some more.
Taxue knew that Song Qinghuan was awake, so he boiled the medicine and waited for her to take it before bringing it into the house.
Although Song Qinghuan didn't like it, he drank it and sweated all over, feeling a little sleepy again.
After asking Taxue Xunmei to wait on her and lie down, she couldn't help but ask: "What about Miss Fuliu, the master and the servant?"
Texue put down the tent for her, and asked Xunmei to bring two basins of ice, and then said, "Your Majesty, let your slaves go."
Although he saved the lives of Song Qinghuan and Xiao Jingtong, the people outside couldn't believe it. Because he was implicated in burning the other's boat, Texue gave them more silver and asked the master and servant to continue buying a boat.
It doesn't matter if you are doing the old business of painting boats, you can just use the money to find an honest man and marry him.
Song Qinghuan thought the same thing. She was worried that Xiao Ci would not think of it. She was about to mention Ta Xue, but when she saw that everything had been taken care of, she felt relieved. She leaned on the pillow, turned over and fell asleep.
sunk.
After that, they slept again until sunset. Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong heard that she was awake and came to see her together. Seeing that she had fallen asleep again, they also waited.
When Xiao Ci came back from dealing with things outside, he saw a pair of children sitting outside obediently with their heads lowered, neither talking nor moving around. At that moment, he couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth: "Go back, the sky is dark.
It is late."
He added: "It's a good two days' rest. We have to continue our journey when the princess feels better."
Although I left Beijing on the chosen date, it was not advisable to stay on the road for too long, lest another trouble would arise.
Xiao Jingtong pouted with a happy look on his face. He had long lost the novelty of the journey. Hearing this, he said, "Can't we go back to Beijing?"
She still hasn't realized that once she goes to Ruizhou, it will be extremely difficult to return to Beijing.
Xiao Ci reached out and rubbed her head, and said seriously: "No."
And Kyoto may not be safer than Eiju.
When Xiao Jingtong heard this, he pouted and was about to cry, but Xiao Jingchuan pulled him back.
"Son, let's take my sister down now. Father has been working hard for many days, so he should pay more attention to rest."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Jingtong to lose his temper, he coaxed and coaxed him out.
Song Qinghuan slept all afternoon, and although she still felt a little tired, she was woken up by the noise outside.
When Xiao Ci entered the room, she had already opened her eyes and sat up.
There was no light in the room. The bed curtain was put down. Seeing that it was not correct, he said, "Let's light a lamp."
Xiao Ci responded, quickly lit the oil lamp on the corner of the couch, and said, "I woke you up."
Song Qinghuan yawned, tilted his head and refused to answer. He just lifted up the bed curtain and looked at his tired face, then asked: "Then, can the prefect find out where those men in black came from?"
