Normally the original owner was not talkative, as she was used to living in the palace. She was neither a boy nor a great beauty like her mother who was both civil and martial. In comparison, she was more like an ordinary princess in the royal family. She was delicate and not in good health. It took her half a day to do anything, so she was not very liked by her mother. Although she did not treat her harshly, she did not like to keep her around.
Therefore, the original owner had long been accustomed to silence and hiding, and then this attitude made her known as the cowardly second princess. Even the princes or children from royal families who usually liked to play tricks on people were not interested in the original owner.
It was when Chu Ci's mother was seriously ill that she finally remembered her daughter and brought Feicui and Binghan into the palace. Then she passed away.
Chu Ci's mother came from a military family and was very good at manipulating people's hearts, so these two people just obeyed Chu Ci's orders and didn't care about anything else.
"Yes... Feicui just forgot for a moment. Miss, I will go ask Sister Binghan what happened outside."
Chu Ci pursed her lips and responded with her eyes closed and her brows slightly wrinkled. This look made Feicui even more anxious. Chu Ci had been burning with fever for a whole day and had been unconscious for a long time. She had just woken up. If she didn't rush to a nearby town for treatment today, it would probably not be good.
Thinking of this, she quickly stood up and lifted a corner of the carriage curtain. For a moment, she only felt gusts of cold wind mixed with a little cold rain falling on her face. This feeling made her shiver involuntarily. Then she spoke. Although her voice was a little louder, it still seemed too weak in the wind and rain.
"Sister Binghan, what's going on outside?"
Outside the carriage, there was a young girl holding a horse whip. She was also dressed in coarse cloth and had a veil covering her face. She was resisting the wind and rain outside and was rushing on the road in the rain. At this moment, her face was covered by the veil, so no emotion could be seen. Her body was tense and her eyes were looking straight ahead.
He stopped the carriage completely and lowered his voice, with a hint of helplessness and anxiety, "The road ahead is blocked by large rocks, and there seem to be bandits around."
"What? Bandits?" Feicui cried out subconsciously, her face pale.
"Don't panic." Binghan and Feicui were originally sisters who had wandered together. After being rescued and adopted by Chu Ci's mother, they gained a lot of attention due to their calm temperament and learned a lot. She spoke softly, raised her hand to brush away the veil in front of her, and let the fine raindrops hit her ordinary yet slightly cold face. She asked calmly, "How is the young lady?"
"Not very good. He's had a fever for a whole day and is still burning now, but he has woken up." Feicui answered quickly.
Shuanghan frowned slightly, tightened his hand holding the whip, and turned his head to look at the figure not far away again.
Then I heard Feicui asking in a low voice, her voice a little helpless, "Sister Shuanghan, what should we do?"
"Take a detour." Shuanghan raised her hand and waved the whip to change direction. Although the nearest road was in front, it had been blocked by bandits with stones. Even if they stayed and fought with the bandits, they could not get through.
