The moon was high in the sky, and Qin Rushuang was still waiting next to the mine.
Qingzhi was so anxious that her mouth was filled with blisters.
"Princess, please treat me like a slave and go to rest first! For the sake of the prince, and for the sake of the little grandson in your belly..."
Qin Rushuang had just eaten something and her face was still pale.
She shook her head and said to Qingzhi, "Don't try to persuade me, I really... The prince's life or death is uncertain now, and I really can't sleep."
"But it's not an option if you don't rest day and night like this! If... I will worry about you when the prince comes out."
Qin Rushuang finally nodded and relaxed: "Okay."
She moved her steps, and her feet were extremely sore from standing. Seeing this, Qingzhi quickly came over to support her: "Princess, walk slowly."
The workers who came to help set up tents near the mine. In order to rescue the people as quickly as possible, they did not return to the city to rest.
Qin Rushuang refused Qingzhi's proposal to return to Du Mansion and randomly found an empty tent and lay down in clothes.
She forced herself to close her eyes and rest, but with anxiety and worries in her heart, how could she sleep?
She ordered herself to close her eyes, with so many thoughts in her mind that she didn't fall asleep until late at night.
The next day, before dawn, Qin Rushuang suddenly heard a noise outside.
"Quick! Quick! Dig it out!"
"Get some cloth and cover their eyes!"
"Can I still walk? Here are a few people to help support me!"
Qin Rushuang quickly got up and rushed outside the tent. Sure enough, she saw that after a night of hard work, the veins had been dug through!
Many Du's workers helped some ragged miners walk out of it.
When the old man saw Qin Rushuang coming out, he quickly came over and asked, "Princess, the workers in the mine have been rescued. We will count the number of people later. When the number of people is complete, we can start preparing for the prince's rescue."
He hesitated for a while and asked, "Has the princess made a decision? Should she use gunpowder to explode or..."
"dig."
Qin Rushuang thought about it last night and decided to use a safer method.
Faced with Xie Xun's life and death, she didn't want to take any risks.
After hearing this, the old man nodded and said: "Go and tell the workers to dig from there. In fact, the villain also means the same thing. If the prince is not injured below, in three days, with the body of the prince practicing martial arts, it will be
There’s no problem, Princess, just relax.”
Qin Rushuang nodded, not feeling much relieved because of the old man's words.
After all, what the old man said was only the most optimistic scenario.
For a whole day, Qin Rushuang ordered some workers to settle the rescued miners, and most of the remaining workers began to dig out the vein where Xie Xun was.
A day is not long, but while Qin Rushuang was waiting, she felt that every second was torture, and the whole day seemed like a year.
It was night again, and this time there was no need for Qingzhi to persuade her. Qin Rushuang saw that the sky was almost dark and returned to the tent.
She still couldn't sleep, but Xie Xun was trapped in the mine, and everyone was worried enough. She had to reassure everyone. She was now everyone's source of confidence.
Qin Rushuang really couldn't sleep today. She kept her eyes open until dawn, until suddenly there was a commotion outside.
"It's all clear! Go call the princess!"
No one needed to shout a second time, Qin Rushuang got up immediately and stumbled out of the tent.
Qingzhi quickly supported Qin Rushuang: "Princess, please slow down! The tunnel has been dug over there, and someone has already gone down to pick up the prince!"
Qin Rushuang's ears were buzzing, and she didn't react until Qingzhi called her several times. She said with a trembling voice: "Just rescue her, just rescue her..."
She stumbled to the edge of the dug vein, and two workers made a simple stretcher out of their own clothes and carried Xie Xun out.
The moment Qin Rushuang saw Xie Xun, she rushed over, her voice trembling unpretentiously. Although she tried her best to endure it, there was still a tremor in the end of her voice, "Your Majesty...are you okay?"
Xie Xun's eyes were covered with a piece of cloth, and the exposed lips were extremely dry and cracked. He had not had any water for three days, so it was difficult for him to speak. He opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay."
A worker who was following behind came out of the mine and took something in his hand. When he saw Qin Rushuang, he quickly walked up and said, "Miss, this thing..."
Qin Rushuang was about to turn around and take a look when Xie Xun unexpectedly grabbed her wrist.
"It's something I left behind. I originally thought that if I couldn't get out, I would have to tell you something, but now that I have been rescued, there is no need to look at that thing."
"But……"
Xie Xun held her hand tightly, "...stop looking."
Qin Rushuang nodded and said, "I don't want to read it."
She promised like this, but she stretched out her other hand to signal the worker to bring the things to her.
The worker gently handed the things into Qin Rushuang's hands.
Qin Rushuang lowered her head and took a look. It was a piece of cloth that Xie Xun had torn off from his inner clothes. There were mottled blood stains on it. It was a blood letter.
Qin Rushuang put away the bloody book without leaving a trace, and then ordered the workers to call the carriage that had been prepared to carry Xie Xun up.
"Go back to Du Mansion. The doctor is already waiting there."
After carrying Xie Xun onto the carriage, Qin Rushuang also followed. Xie Xun kept holding her hand tightly, and Qin Rushuang did not move away.
When they arrived at the gate of Du Mansion, Mr. Du and a group of doctors were waiting anxiously at the door.
Seeing someone coming, he hurriedly carried Xie Xun in with all his hands.
Qingzhi saw that the prince seemed to be fine and now arrived at Du Mansion safely, and finally couldn't help crying with joy, "Princess, it's great..."
"Princess, what's wrong with you?!"
Qin Rushuang, who had not slept well for two days and was worried all the time, unexpectedly fell down due to instability.
There was another turmoil in the Du Mansion, and Xie Xun had just been rescued when Qin Rushuang fainted again.
When Qin Rushuang woke up again, it was already dark.
She struggled to sit up, but was held back by the person next to her, "Don't move. Call Qingzhi."
Qin Rushuang turned around and found Xie Xun lying next to her.
Seeing her turning her head, Xie Xun said with a smile: "I have been trapped down there for three days, but it didn't matter. You, on the other hand, fainted as soon as you returned to Du Mansion. Fortunately, the doctor told me that you just fell asleep due to overwork."
past."
"Your Majesty, you haven't had a drop of water in three days. Stop talking." Qin Rushuang said quickly.
Qingzhi, who heard the commotion, also came in and helped Qin Rushuang sit up. The little maid who followed brought a bowl of white porridge and a bowl of rice soup.
"The doctor said that the princess is overworked and it is best to eat something light first. The prince has not had any water for three days and cannot drink porridge. He can only drink some rice soup first. After his stomach has recovered tomorrow, he can slowly use some porridge.
.”
Qin Rushuang nodded, finished her bowl of rice porridge in a few seconds, took the rice soup on the plate, and picked up the spoon to feed Xie Xun.
Xie Xun originally wanted to say no, but thinking that there were too few opportunities for Qin Rushuang to willingly take care of him, he simply leaned closer and enjoyed Qin Rushuang's care.
After drinking a bowl of rice soup, Qin Rushuang stood up and accidentally fell out of the blood letter in her arms.
Xie Xun frowned, "Didn't I tell you not to read it?"
"No, I want to read it. I want to see what the prince wrote to me." Qin Rushuang said stubbornly.
