Chapter 246 Is Your Highness okay?
"Why haven't you finished eating yet?"
The guard asked.
The maid curled her lips and said, "This person is as soft as mud, she can't even open her mouth. How about you help me, big brother, open her mouth and let me pour the liquid into her."
Guard: “…”
The little maid may not know who this person is, but the guards do know, and it seems that the prime minister cares a lot about this princess.
He dared not offend his superiors.
The guard told the maid to hurry up and then left.
The maid turned around and continued to feed Shang Xi.
A day passed, and the people arranged by Prime Minister Shen secretly took Shang Xi out of the city.
In order to prevent Shang Xi from doing anything, he mixed sleeping pills into every meal, making him feel weak all over.
The quilts in the carriage were thick and soft, and I could hardly feel the bumps.
The autumn wind lifts the curtains from time to time.
Shang Xi was lying in the carriage and could only glimpse the scene outside through the fluttering curtains.
He watched the carriage pass the Shili Pavilion.
He ran forward slowly along the official road that Xiao Ning had left.
Occasionally stop to rest along the way.
Someone would also come up to give Shang Xi some water.
But Shang Xi usually refused, and would only take a sip when he was really thirsty.
In his current state, if he drinks too much and needs to go to the toilet, he will have to ask others for help. Shang Xi feels uncomfortable and doesn't want others to help him with this at all.
Shang Xi watched the convoy gradually enter the canyon area.
This terrain...
He gritted his teeth, mustered a little strength, and rolled his body to the safest place in the corner of the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, a sound of breaking air was heard outside.
"There's an ambush! Hurry, run!"
"Guard the carriage!"
The carriage jolted violently.
The huge force made Shang Xi's body rush forward a little bit.
Shang Xi was swaying from side to side and could only hear the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the clanging of weapons clashing, and the wailing of horses.
The arrow missed its target and pierced the carriage.
The horses were frightened and ran faster.
Shang Xi was spinning around and almost rolled out of the car.
The sound of charging and fighting rang out, and the two groups of people fought in a melee.
Someone rushed forward and restrained the frightened horse.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Someone got on the carriage, lifted the curtain and came in, only to see that Shang Xi's forehead was broken and blood was flowing all over his face.
"Your Highness!"
The guard exclaimed.
Shang Xi was so dizzy that he couldn't say a word.
He could only let the man help him up and wipe the blood off his body with his wide sleeves.
The sounds of fighting outside gradually stopped.
More people gathered around the carriage, "Is His Highness alright?"
"Your Highness was hit on the head, and now he's breathing more than he's breathing in!"
Shang Xi: “…”
He struggled to raise his hand and grabbed the sleeve of the person who was supporting him.
She managed to utter a few words: "I am fine!"
"His Highness, His Highness spoke. He said he's fine. That's great..."
"Fu, Rong..."
Shang Xi uttered two words again.
"Aunt Furong said to gather at the Cloud Well ahead. Your Highness, don't worry. I'll take you there right away!"
After that, the carriage began to shake again.
Shang Xi was helped by the guards to sit in the carriage, but he was so weak that he couldn't sit still, so the guards supported his body.
"Your Highness, please don't do this. I'm afraid..."
Shang Xi: “…”
fool.
He closed his eyes and could only hold on with all his might.
The carriage drove for half a quarter of an hour and finally arrived at the meeting place.
As soon as the carriage stopped, he heard Furong's voice.
"Your Highness!"
When Shang Xi opened his eyes, he saw Furong, who looked anxious, lifting the curtain and getting into the carriage.
She took Shang Xi from the guard and said hurriedly, "Please ask Doctor Xu to come up!"
The guard got out of the car and Dr. Xu got in.
After taking his pulse, Doctor Xu took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, removed the stopper, and shook it under his nose.
After the news was reported back to the Princess's Mansion the day before yesterday, Furong not only arranged for an ambush and rescue, but also brought the trusted Doctor Xu with her.
When the maid delivered the message, she mentioned Shang Xi's symptoms.
After Furong talked to Doctor Xu about this, Doctor Xu guessed what kind of drug Shang Xi might have planted and brought the corresponding antidote along.
"Your Highness, the medicine is very potent and recovery may be slow. Please don't be anxious."
Shang Xi nodded.
After taking the antidote, he felt much clearer in the head, although his body was still weak.
Doctor Xu also treated Shang Xi's forehead injury.
"Your Highness has had a bump on your head from the jolt just now. It would be best for you to rest for two days."
Shang Xi nodded again.
His current condition was not suitable for traveling.
The princess's mansion also has property in Yunjing County.
Such a large group of people would be too conspicuous entering the city.
Furong brought everyone to the village north of the county town.
Furong took out her badge, and the manager saw it and immediately invited the person in respectfully.
"Aunt, why did you bring so many people to check the accounts this time..."
"We won't be checking the accounts this time. Go prepare the room. We'll stay here for a few days."
“Yes, yes…”
The manager ordered someone to clean the house.
"Aunt, what happened? Why did you bring so many people here..."
Furong glanced at him coldly, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
The manager was frightened by Furong's look, and then he pursed his lips and dared not say another word.
The room was cleaned up quickly.
Since the carriage could not enter the yard, Furong asked the guards to carry Shang Xi to the room.
Shang Xi disagrees.
"Just hold on to me!"
He really couldn't accept being carried like a princess by another man.
Furong stood beside the carriage, looking at Shang Xi, who was as soft as mud, and didn't quite believe it: "Are you okay?"
Shang Xi said: "Of course!"
Furong: “…”
At this time, Your Highness, why are you still being stubborn?
No one laughed at him.
Finally, Shang Xi was carried into the house by two guards.
After Shang Xi was settled, the others were also settled.
We've been running around and concentrating so hard these past two days that everyone is exhausted.
Furong was actually very tired too.
But he still stayed by Shang Xi's side.
Shang Xi said, "You should take a break too."
"I'm not tired."
Furong wet a handkerchief, sat beside the bed, and helped him wipe the blood off his face.
"What are your plans next? Are you going back to Shengjing or to Jinzhou?"
Originally, when I was staying in Shengjing, I could still bear the longing.
But after leaving Shengjing, he felt the wind of freedom outside, especially after learning that Xiao Ning had imprisoned Shen Zhiyi in the army.
Shang Xi could no longer suppress the longing in his heart.
He was silent for a long time, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "I want to go find him."
Furong smiled upon hearing this, "Okay, then go find him. If Your Highness is worried about Shengjing, I will stay here to help you look after it."
Shang Xi looked at her, his eyes trembling slightly.
"Thank you, Fleur."
Furong knelt down and said, "It is my duty to share my master's worries. I do not deserve your gratitude."
"If anyone wants to express gratitude, it should be this servant who thanks Your Highness."
As he said this, he leaned forward and kowtowed.
"When I was young, Your Highness rescued me from the swamp, and since then, you have always kept me by your side. I have learned so much from Your Highness."
