Chapter 118 Chapter 118(1/2)
Wu Cuicui and her party were on the official road, so it was inconvenient to wash up, so the maid took Li Qiao to see a doctor who came with her to treat her leg injury.
The strips of cloth wrapped around his legs, stained black with blood, were untied layer by layer, revealing the hideous wounds inside that had not yet healed.
The maid only glanced at it and then hurriedly looked away, but the doctor looked at it a few more times. After washing his hands, he gently fiddled with the wound and asked with some surprise: "It seems that some herbs have been used before?"
Li Qiao nodded, but did not say that he had found the herbal medicine himself. He only said: "Some of the people traveling with me know some medical skills."
The doctor didn't think too much. He responded and began to treat his wounds.
Li Qiao actually didn't take this little pain seriously - he didn't say a word when he was in pain from his broken leg and the whip fell on him with strong wind. However, at this moment, his face deliberately showed He looked like he was in excruciating pain.
The doctor was cleaning his wound. Seeing that his body was shaking uncontrollably and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Don't move. The wound is slightly rotten. It will be better later." I need to use a knife to cut off the rotten flesh. If you move like this, my hand will shake like this..."
When the maid heard this, she also panicked: "What should I do?"
She covered her eyes with her hands and took a short look. She felt that the bloody broken leg seemed to be her own, and the bones began to hurt immediately.
The maid hurriedly turned her head, feeling a little pity for the young man. With such thoughts, a look of pity could not help but appear on her face.
Li Qiao observed her calmly, and when he realized that the heat was almost over, he said in a trembling voice: "Sister, if you have some free time, you might as well tell me about your young lady, what kind of person is she? Nowadays, the war is in chaos. Why am I traveling outside? It helps me to distract myself and focus on my injuries."
The maid retorted to him first: "Your lady, she is our lady!"
Then he followed his intention and said: "My young lady's background has been mentioned to you before. As for her personality, of course she was born with a heart of a Bodhisattva!"
"Yes," Li Qiao agreed: "If not, how could you save me?"
This guy is quite sensible!
The maid glanced at him with some admiration, and then hesitantly turned the conversation to why her young lady was traveling at this time of year. She told the story of Wu Cuicui and Li Tianrong's marriage that has become a thing of the past in a spring and autumn style, and then quickly turned to My young lady is going to join her father and brother.
Li Qiao had only heard her say that the woman who saved him was the Crown Princess of Wei, but he didn't know that the identity of this Crown Princess was in the past tense.
His thoughts were flowing rapidly, and he quickly asked a question that was very crucial to him: "So, are the accompanying cavalry and soldiers the ones the Wu family accompanied the young lady to marry, or were they sent by the Wei Palace to escort the young lady?"
The maid said without thinking: "No matter how powerful the Wu family is, they are still subordinates after all. How can they hide their armor secretly or even use it to marry their daughter? Of course it was arranged by the Wei Palace to escort our lady!"
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Qiaodang broke out in a cold sweat even when he was shocked!
The maid over there was still sighing: "Don't think that the young lady has reconciled with the prince, and will never have contact with the Prince of Wei. The princess loves my young lady very much, even for her biological daughter, she can't do anything more than this! "
Li Qiao no longer wanted to listen to Chuan Nu's talk anymore.
At this moment, there was only one thing running through his mind - the person escorting Wu Cuicui was arranged by the Wei Palace, not owned by the Wu family!
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that Wu Cuicui's every move was exposed to the eyes of the Wei Palace?!
Then her weird behavior of buying a slave with this ingot of gold, and then giving him a name and openly praising her must have fallen into the sight of the Wei Palace's spies!
Wu Cuicui is the daughter of the Wu family, and she has someone to rely on no matter what. Even if the Wei Palace really thinks that she is acting suspiciously, and for the sake of the overall situation, it will not do anything to her - otherwise, I am afraid that the Wei Palace will not let her go at all.
But he is different.
He was just a slave. Even if Wu Cuicui rescued him from the slave traders, he was just a slave with a different master. If the Wei Palace wanted to, he could be captured and tortured!
It's so shameful that Wu Cuicui was so stupid that she put him on the fire!
If he was strong and healthy, he would be able to escape danger in just the blink of an eye, but now that he is injured and has injured his leg, it will be difficult to escape!
Li Qiao was anxious, but his face was calm. He continued to talk a few words from the maid. After the wound was treated and the convoy finally arrived at the post house, he began to observe the surroundings without leaving any trace.
Sure enough, there were fellow guards not far away watching his every move.
The more dangerous the situation became, the more Li Qiao had to calm down. He went to the bathroom to clean his body, changed into another robe, found the maid who had spoken to him before, and asked: "Miss, can you rest? Thank you to her.
I have to go and kowtow to thank her for her kindness..."
The maid looked him up and down and said "Huh" in surprise.
This boy looked shabby before, but now he is clean and tidy, and he is actually very handsome!
I was muttering in my heart, and said: "Miss, where can you see me just as long as you want? Wait here, I will go and report it first!"
"Li Qiao wants to see me"
Wu Cuicui was a little surprised, then subconsciously touched her cheek, sat upright and said: "Let him come in!"
Li Qiao seemed to be an upright young man who had received great kindness and was deeply grateful to his savior. After entering the door, he dragged his injured leg to kneel down to Wu Cuicui, kowtowed three times to the ground, and said: "
I once learned some riding and shooting from the hunters in the mountains. If Miss Meng doesn’t give up, I will serve as a retinue next to Miss Meng to keep you safe! Even if Li Qiao dies, he will never let the thieves get even half a step closer to you!"
The Ninth Five-year-old from her previous life was now kneeling in front of her. When her eyes, which were always full of ice and unruly, looked at her, they could not conceal their admiration and respect.
Wu Cuicui's heart was beating fast, and her waist could not help but feel numb. It took her a long while to regain her composure, stand up, and help him up herself: "Since you have such courage, how can I not help you?"
Then he ordered: "From now on, you will be my personal guard!"
Li Qiao lowered his eyes, cupped his fists and saluted: "I am willing to do my best for you, Miss!"
Before setting off, the fellow soldiers received their mission from Princess Wei, and observed carefully along the way to see if there was anything strange about Wu's former concubine.
And that's just outside. The medical girls and nuns who were placed in the team by Princess Wei as a precaution on the road also received this task.
Is there something wrong?
have.
In the past, the Ou family loved his son to death, so why did he let go of him all of a sudden?
The princess suspected that the Wu family had obtained a biography of the Wu family, so she was eager to make peace with her. However, she watched coldly along the way, as if the Wu family had no intention of rushing away after leaving King Wei's sphere of influence?
And the kid who was rescued halfway...
They don't want to believe it if you say it's pure kindness.
There were so many people sold into slavery, why did they save him?
She also said that in her eyes, this young man was worth millions of dollars, and even gave him a name.
Really weird!
In order to avoid alerting the enemy and unable to open a gap in Wu's body, everyone turned their attention to the boy named Li Qiao.
As luck would have it, that boy was transferred to Ousmane's personal guard the next day. In the next few days, even though his leg was injured, he insisted on following Ousmane's car day and night, leaving them helpless.
At the same time as he started, he also quickly opened up the situation among Wu's dowry personnel.
All we can do is say nothing.
…
This road seems to be calm, but secretly it is full of swords and swords.
But all of this has nothing to do with Wu Cuicui. The further west she travels, the closer she is to the place where the emperor's residence is now, the more she misses her parents and brothers at home.
For Li Tianrong, she really did too many things that made her family sad. It was too late in her previous life, but she wants to make up for it in this life.
However, before she could see her family, Wu Cuicui received a piece of news that made her eyesight darken.
There was a mutiny in Xingyuan, the emperor abdicated, the noble concubine was sentenced to death, and the Chang family has been killed!
Just as Princess Wei had always been a loving and considerate mother to Wu Cuicui, the imperial concubine, the foster mother, was an extraordinarily warm presence in her life to Wu Cuicui.
She is as gorgeous as a peony rooted in the emperor's veins. She is truly beautiful and fragrant. But at the same time, she has an exquisite heart with seven orifices that is good at observing the subtleties, and she is pure and flawless.
Such a person who was born to love cleanliness and honor the most, actually died in such a mess and embarrassment in the chaos of war?!
My heart ached, and tears flowed down my face unknowingly. Wu Cuicui couldn't accept it!
After her death in her previous life, although her soul remained, she only stayed in the place of her death for a long time. The reason why she knew that Li Qiao was the son of destiny who could reorganize the country was because he later went on a personal expedition, and after the great chaos that cut the empire in half,
She doesn't know anything about the emperor, the imperial concubine, or even the Wu family!
At this moment, through the death of the imperial concubine, she finally had a glimpse of what she had not been able to see with her own eyes in her previous life, the tragic fate of the people around her in troubled times. Even if it was only a brief glimpse, it was shocking enough!
The imperial concubine is dead, what about the others?
The Emperor... that old man who always smiled, how was he doing after he was forced to abdicate?
The imperial concubine is dead. What happens to the imperial concubine’s only daughter, the Ninth Princess, and the Ninth Princess’s consort, his own brother?
And the rest of the family...
When Wu Cuicui thought of this, she had no time to stop, so she set off in a hurry without bothering to repair it.
Not only her, but everyone in the Wei Palace who was accompanying them also looked solemn.
Princess Wei is the sister of Concubine Chang!
Now that the imperial concubine has been sentenced to death, and the Chang family has almost been executed, then Princess Wei...
Everyone is worried.
They hurriedly and slowly arrived at the emperor's residence, feeling even more timid when approaching the hometown. Wu Cuicui did not dare to approach for a while.
I forced myself to get off the carriage and followed the place where my home was. Far away, I saw the white paper hanging in front of the house waving in the wind...
Wu Cuicui's heart suddenly throbbed, she staggered and fell softly.
…
Li Shimin was on his way to Texas at this time.
Wei Xuancheng was arranged to coordinate everything along the way, and he did not hesitate to appoint people. He himself chatted about the imperial capital with Yu Yingying, who was riding a horse and wearing a curtain hat.
