"Miss Wei, I wonder if we can rest here for a night. He is too seriously injured, and it is really not suitable for him to travel around now..."
Yingwu pleaded in a low voice.
Before he could finish his words, Wei Yunlan pointed to the room he had just walked out of and interrupted him, "There's no one in this room. Let's put the person down quickly."
"This room is the emptier, move the people in first."
Ying Wu and the other two followed Wei Yunlan into the main house.
When they moved Qi Xu off their backs and laid him flat on the bed, Wei Yunlan noticed that there was a dark mark on the chest of the black robe, which was larger than a palm.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and there was no doubt that the mark was left by blood.
Wei Yunlan became more and more frightened. "What happened? Why did Mr. Xiao get so badly injured?"
"We encountered the mastermind behind the collusion between the Huangzhou bureaucrats and the Northern Barbarians..." Ying Wu made it short and briefly explained the few parts that could be said.
Wei Yunlan also knew that now was not the time to ask further questions, as the most urgent matter was Mr. Xiao's injuries.
After learning that Ying Wu had fed him a life-saving heart-protecting pill and that his life was temporarily out of danger, Wei Yunlan gave up the idea of going to the nearby village to ask for help from the barefoot doctor and said to Yu Qi who was waiting beside him, "Captain Yu, please ask someone to go back to Lihe Village and bring Doctor Yu here as soon as possible."
After that, she took another look at the scratches on Ying Wu and another Tianshu Pavilion person beside Ying Wu, "I brought some hemostatics and wound medicine with me, you guys should treat the wounds first? I'll keep an eye on Mr. Xiao for now."
Ying Wu and the other two looked at each other, and finally they both clasped their hands and thanked Wei Yunlan, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Wei."
The noise in the yard was not loud, but the yard was only this big. The noise did not alarm other people in Tianwangzhuang, but it could not be concealed from those who were already in the yard.
Jiang Wu and Liu Qingxue both heard the noise in the yard. They looked at each other, then simultaneously looked away, lying back on the couch and covering their heads with the quilt.
The group of guards who had been following the boss obviously had unusual identities, but since the boss didn't want them to know, they would just pretend that they knew nothing!
Just like that, a small team from Tianshu Pavilion quietly settled down in Tianwangzhuang, and the courtyard became quiet again. Except for a guard who left on a fast horse, there was no difference from before.
In the main room, Wei Yunlan sat beside the bed, looking at the person lying in his original position with eyes closed and pale face, and sighed softly.
Mr. Xiao really did everything himself and devoted himself to Tianshu Pavilion and Dayong.
I just don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worth all his efforts...
People are all made of flesh and blood. Compared to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has a good reputation and has been praised many times by his parents, Mr. Xiao, who has accompanied them all the way north, undoubtedly means more to Wei Yunlan's heart at this moment.
Looking at the person who was still unconscious on the bed, Wei Yunlan for the first time felt some resentment in her heart towards the Crown Prince, whom she had never met before.
…
The world was spinning.
Qi Xu only remembered that he vaguely heard a familiar dog barking, and then he completely lost consciousness.
In the last moment before he lost consciousness, he seemed to feel a warm breath coming from his chest. It was this wonderful warm feeling that relieved the pain in his wound a lot.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to endure this injury for such a long time. He only let himself faint after he had shaken off the pursuers sent by Lin Yan.
While his consciousness was blurred, he seemed to hear Ying Wu and others calling "Miss Wei" a few times, but before he could listen carefully, the surrounding scene suddenly changed from the overgrown forest to the towering palace walls.
Soon, Qi Xu discovered that he was still wearing the four-clawed dragon robe that only the prince could wear.
The scenery in the palace was different from when he left in late summer and early autumn.
There was a layer of white frost on the branches, obviously it was winter.
Qi Xu looked around in astonishment, wondering whether he had returned to the palace or was dreaming?
Just as he was wondering, he noticed a secret letter on the table. The paper was a kind of paper used by Tianshu Pavilion, and the words on it would only appear after being dipped in tea.
Qi Xu directly poured the half-cold tea on the table.
Soon, lines of small characters appeared on it, which actually said that the war in the north was tense, and the court was short of food and troops. Emperor Xiaoming intended to send the princess to marry and seek peace with the northern barbarians.
In the harem, Concubine Ling suggested to Emperor Xiaoming that he should send Princess Changping, the daughter of the previous empress, to marry the King of Yong. Firstly, Changping had just had her coming-of-age ceremony and was of the right age but had not yet been married. Secondly, she was the only legitimate princess in the palace, and sending her to marry the King of Yong would better demonstrate Dayong's sincerity towards the northern barbarians.
"How ridiculous!" Qi Xu's eyes widened and he slapped the table.
The anger in my heart rose up, and I wished I could rush to Concubine Ling and Emperor Xiaoming to question them right away.
But before he could take any action, a eunuch serving in the East Palace came to report that someone from the Empress Dowager's palace had sent someone to invite him over.
The next moment the scene reversed, and the scene around him had changed from the East Palace to the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother was.
The eunuch who was leading the way also appeared here, but there was no sign of abnormality on his face.
Qi Xu keenly discovered that the empress dowager he saw at this moment, as well as Nanny Chang, who was of the same age as her and had served her all her life, both looked much older than they had been a few days ago before he left the capital.
The Queen Mother paid great attention to maintaining her body. The only possibility that she aged so quickly is that a lot of time has passed.
This is not reality, but a dream!
After clearly realizing this, the situation around me began to change rapidly.
Qi Xu told the Queen Mother about Changning's affairs, and the Queen Mother promised to help him persuade Emperor Xiaoming not to push Changning into the fire pit.
Soon, turmoil broke out in the northern barbarians, the war in the north was suspended, and the news came back that Dayong had a respite. Emperor Xiaoming really gave up the idea of sending his daughter over to marry.
He thought the Queen Mother had played a big role in this, so he took Changning to the Cining Palace to express her gratitude in person.
However, after drinking a cup of tea poured by the Queen Mother herself, his eyes rolled up and he completely lost consciousness.
The scene that was constantly evolving around me came to an abrupt end!
Qi Xu looked unhappy and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
He had already understood that this was not the prophetic dream he had imagined, but something that most likely actually happened in his previous life.
If he had not discovered the problems between the Liang family and the Queen Mother, and had not decisively chosen to leave the capital, this would most likely be what he would face next!
