Chapter 3244 Escape
After seeing Zhu Feng's face return to normal, she softly asked, "Your Majesty, by letting your son go, aren't you really afraid that he won't come back?"
"return?"
Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "I'm just afraid he'll come back."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was even more confused, and looked at him with wide eyes, "Why?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye: "Why are you asking so many questions?"
"Your Majesty, please tell me. I want to know."
"When it's time for you to know, I'll let you know."
Zhu Feng stretched lazily and said, "Why did you stop? Fan me quickly, I'm feeling hot."
Nan Yan gritted her teeth in anger. Seeing him ordering people around like that, she hit him hard on the shoulder with her fan and said, "I won't fan you, so you can get hot!"
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng suddenly smiled, then reached out and put his arm around her waist: "Don't want to fan me? Then come up and help me relieve my heat."
After saying that, he carried Nan Yan to the bed.
"ah!"
Nan Yan let out a low cry unexpectedly, then started fighting with him with a smile. The two of them rolled around and ended up on the bed. Ruoshui, who was guarding outside the door, heard the noise and her face turned red with shame. Her ears were almost smoking. She quickly closed the door and stepped aside.
In the other room, Wen Bieyu, who had been beaten with twenty boards, lay on the small bed, wincing in pain.
Zhu Chengjun walked to the bedside and saw that he was sweating profusely. He said guiltily, "Brother Bieyu, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I got you into trouble."
Wen Bieyu looked up and smiled at him, saying, "Your Highness, what are you talking about?"
"It's all my fault for running around, otherwise you wouldn't have been beaten."
"How can I blame you for this?"
Wen Bieyu smiled and said, "Your Highness is still young, it's normal for you to like running around. And the Imperial Concubine hit me because I didn't fulfill my duty to dissuade you. It's my fault."
When Zhu Chengjun heard the word "responsibility", he felt a heavy heart.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then said softly, "Then from now on, I won't run around casually, so you don't have to get beaten."
Wen Bieyu smiled and said, "Your Highness, just think of me when you run around."
Zhu Chengjun nodded obediently.
He sat down beside Wen Bieyu's bed, thought for a moment, and said softly, "It would be nice if my sister could come this time."
"Princess Shinpei?"
Wen Bieyu's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at him and asked, "Why?"
Zhu Chengjun said, "Father loves you the most. If you come with me, even if we run far away, Father won't beat her. And you won't have to be beaten."
Wen Bieyu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
After all, Zhu Chengjun was a child who grew up in the palace. Although he was a little wild and willful sometimes, he didn't realize that this time he was the only one who was beaten and he was not beaten because their identities were different.
I need to be responsible for him, but he doesn't have to be responsible for himself at all.
Zhu Chengjun asked, "Brother Bieyu, what are you laughing at?"
Wen Bieyu smiled and said, "Your Highness, please stop joking. You are His Royal Highness the Prince of Han, and she is Princess Xinping. The Emperor and His Majesty will never hit you."
"ah?"
"Taking care of you is my responsibility alone."
"ah……"
Zhu Chengjun became more and more confused. He stared at Wen Bieyu with wide eyes for a while, then lowered his head to think for a long time. Suddenly, he recalled what Zhu Feng had said to him on the way back. He raised his head and said to him, "Brother Bieyu, my father told me that when danger comes, I should also protect my people."
“…”
"So don't worry. If you are in danger in the future, I will protect you."
Hearing this, Wen Bieyu couldn't help laughing.
Although the age difference between them is not much, Zhu Chengjun is still a few years younger than him, and he is also a prince. How could it be his turn to protect him?
As long as he doesn't encounter any danger, it would be good enough if he loses his life.
But he still smiled and said, "Your Highness will be very powerful in the future and will protect many people."
Zhu Chengjun squinted his eyes and smiled.
The two children grumbled for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they were really tired after being on horseback all day, so they went to bed to rest. After a while, they both fell into a deep sleep.
At night, it was so quiet that only the wind blowing across the wilderness could be heard.
And in the sound of the wind, there were still some uneasy sounds, half of which was the sound of hurried horse hooves, and the other half was Agula's disordered heartbeat, as if someone was beating a drum in his heart, not only making his eardrums buzzing, but even making his chest hurt a little.
It felt like my heart would burst out of my scarred chest at any moment.
He escaped from the water dungeon, injured the jailer, stole a horse and rushed out of Handongwei. Then he gritted his teeth, held his breath and galloped all the way. At this time, the horse was almost at its limit, and so was he.
He slowly relaxed his legs that were clamped around the horse's belly, and the tired horse under him finally slowed down.
Agula was panting heavily, with most of his body almost drooping on the horse's back.
Although all the men of the Eastern Chagali tribe had been trained since childhood and spent half of their lives on horseback, this time, the wounds on his lower body caused by being imprisoned in the water dungeon had festered. The wounds consumed most of his physical strength, and he was already at the end of his strength when he struggled to break out.
But even so, he did not completely let down his guard.
While panting, he looked around cautiously. His eyes, red from not having rested for a long time, were like wolf eyes, patrolling for possible dangers in the night.
All around, it was pitch black.
Only the night wind whistled past, blowing up his torn clothes and messy hair. He reached out to pull his hair aside and turned his head to look again.
There was indeed nothing, and it seemed as if he and his horse were the only ones left in the entire world.
He couldn't help but recall that in the cage, his father Chaolu used the iron needle to pry open the door lock, supported him on his shoulder and climbed out, and said to him: "Son, run quickly, the farther the better. If you can't come back, don't come back."
Agula's heart seemed to be pierced by the iron needle and pulled back a little.
However, this is not the time to consider whether he can go back. Even now, he understands that he is not completely out of danger. As long as the people of Handongwei send troops over, they may capture him at any time.
He had to hurry and find their whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Agula took a deep breath, sat up straight on the horse's back, and squeezed the horse's belly hard. The tired horse could only hold on and continue galloping forward.
In the night, gusts of howling wind followed him.
