Chapter 101
Chapter 100 – 100
The knife smashed into the ground, stopping the two people’s rolling momentum. At the same time, Yuan Cixian heard a clear “click”, like the sound of a bone cracking.
The carriage went over the cliff and crashed down. Her head was dizzy, but she didn’t feel any pain in her drowsiness, and then she woke up belatedly, and realized that the person who was hurt was not herself.
The stone that was going to hit her crushed the hand under her head.
The edge of the cliff cracked and rocks collapsed, half of Zheng Zhuo’s body was hanging outside the cliff, but he tilted his head while holding the knife handle and asked her: “Are you hurt?”
Yuan Cixian struggled to prop himself up, moved his head away, so as not to injure his hand again, shook his head, and gasped, “Your Highness, your right hand…”
Zheng Zhuo said “It’s okay”, then put away the knife and turned over, pulled off the black fur cloak behind her, wrapped her tightly and said: “You can’t get on the horse now, wait for the carriage to come, it will be soon.”
Yuan Cixian nodded with difficulty, held back her tears, and raised her breath, “My child…”
The child was not in the carriage, and the other party separated their mother and child.
Zheng Zhuo quickly explained: “The opponent’s soldiers divided into four groups, and went to the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, respectively. This place is the closest east road to Yongxingfang. I was outside the city tonight, and came here as soon as I got the news. My child In the other three routes, your elder brother chased northward, the people of the Lu Mansion chased westward, and I sent another subordinate to the south route.”
It’s already past the curfew time. Fortunately, Zheng Zhuo happened to be outside the city to check on Lu Shiqing’s whereabouts. Otherwise, it would be reasonable for Yuan Yu to be taken out of the city because of his sister, and he wouldn’t be able to bring people out so easily.
Yuan Cixian was wrapped in a thick fur cloak, but her heart became cold a little bit.
Obviously, the other party didn’t want her life, trapped her in such a carriage, and divided the troops into four groups, just to distract Yuan Yu and Zheng Zhuo’s manpower and attention. In other words, the ultimate goal of the other party is not their mother and son, nor the Yuan family or Zheng Zhuo.
Throwing her and the child as bait, this cover could only be for one person. And the other party even avoided putting the bait in the same basket in order to be safe.
Just like now, Yuan Cixian is saved, but the child probably hasn’t yet.
Her heart was burning with anxiety, her lips were trembling, and her voice had been stained with tears: “Where is he?”
Zheng Zhuo stared at the rapidly approaching carriage on the horizon, and said truthfully, “I don’t know.”
The news he got was the same as Yuan Cixian’s, it was only up to the end of the snow, and there was no news of Lu Shiqing after that. Counting, he has been missing for nearly three days.
But they all knew that since the other party chose to throw the bait, it meant that Lu Shiqing must not have fallen into the enemy’s hands.
The carriage quickly approached, and Zheng Zhuo confessed: “There are stable women and maidservants in the carriage to take care of you, you go back to the house first.” After that, he picked her up and put her into the carriage.
Yuan Cixian didn’t have the energy to be shy at this time, she got into the carriage and lay down and looked at him beggingly: “Your Highness, please…”
She also wished she could spread her wings and chase after the child, but she knew that with her current physical condition, she could only add to the chaos, and once she met an opponent, it would make everyone even more restrained.
Zheng Zhuo nodded: “He and the child will return safely.” After speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked out.
In the carriage, the steady woman and maid arranged by Zheng Zhuo hurriedly took over Yuan Cixian.
Yuan Cixian’s head was as heavy as if it had been filled with soup. Before returning to the city, she couldn’t hold back and fell into a coma. When she woke up again, she smelled a strong smell of medicine. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw that the sky was bright and bright. Hastily struggled to get up.
Cai Zhi, who was lying on her bed beside her, was alarmed and hurriedly shouted outside: “Mr. Lang, madam is awake!”
Yuan Cixian thought it was Lu Shiqing she was calling, and loosened the tense strings in her head, but when she turned her head, she saw Yuan Yu walking quickly from the outside, her heart tightened suddenly, and she said urgently in a hoarse voice: “Brother, where is the child? Where is Lu Shiqing?”
Yuan Yu’s eyes were so big and black, and he said “tsk” uncomfortably: “Why, I’m very disappointed to see that it’s your brother and me?”
His tone seemed to be joking, but Yuan Cixian was not in the mood at all, and was so anxious that she was about to cry.
She was really tired and uncomfortable last night, she thought about sleeping for a while, and then waited for news from Zheng Zhuo and brother, but she fell asleep until noon the next day.
Seeing this, Yuan Yu was so distressed that she sat down and coaxed: “Everyone is here, everything is fine, good boy, don’t worry, don’t cry.”
“Really?” It’s not that Yuan Cixian refuses to believe it, it’s just that if Lu Shiqing really came back well, why didn’t he stay by her couch.
Yuan Yu coughed, with a slightly unnatural expression: “Of course it’s true. The little nephew didn’t catch cold, so he was lying in the rocking car outside. My brother took a closer look, and he looks very much like me when I was young.”
Indeed, logically speaking, if the other party wants to use the child to trap Lu Shiqing, he must protect the little baby, which is a blessing in misfortune. Yuan Yu is not a person who can lie, what he said does not seem to be false, but he did not mention Lu Shiqing a word, which is really unusual.
Yuan Cixian was anxious, she lifted the quilt and wanted to go on, but he frowned and pressed her shoulders: “If you want to live, just lie down.” He sighed after speaking, and said helplessly in silence, “I Just say that I can’t tell lies, and I still have to lie to you…Okay, I will tell you the truth, but it’s okay, you can’t get out of bed now.”
Yuan Cixian nodded when he heard the words, and then listened to him: “Lu Zishu is indeed back, but he was injured a little bit, and he passed out after guarding you here until dawn, and now he is lying in the next room.”
She heard the words and wanted to jump down again, remembering Yuan Yufang’s words just now, she held back and said, “How is his injury?”
Yuan Yu thought for a while and said, “Come on, I’ll bring you here, you can see for yourself!”
“…”
Yuan Yu went out after finishing speaking. Picking a branch to see Yuan Cixian was at a loss, and explained to her what happened last night.
It turned out that the west road and the south road were misty marbles played by the other party, and the child was actually sent to the north road chosen by Yuan Yu. But before he caught up with the pedestrian, Lu Shiqing had already confronted them alone.
The other party cheated and threw a huge boulder wrapped in swaddling clothes from a height of nearly three feet. The night was dark and foggy, Lu Shiqing didn’t dare to take any risks, even if he knew it was probably fake, he took it on his shoulders. That injury was suffered at that time.
Afterwards, he pretended to fall to the ground, and lured the other party to reveal the child’s location. According to his arrangement in advance, Cao An, who was ambushing nearby, took advantage of the situation and rescued Xiao Langjun.
When Yuan Yu arrived, Cao An had already taken the child and left first, while Lu Shiqing stayed where he was, using himself as bait to delay the time. Not long after, Zheng Zhuo also arrived and helped him escape together.
Yuan Cixian was already frightened when he heard it, and even more frightened when he thought about Lu Shiqing’s situation these days.
Thinking about it now, the so-called confrontation between the Uighur and Turkic armies was not a coincidence at all, but a deliberate act by someone with the purpose of killing Lu Shiqing.
The snow-capped mountain where he disappeared is located on the border of Dazhou, thousands of miles away from Zhoujing. It took him two and a half days to rush back. When the ultimate move was delayed on the road, she could hardly imagine how he came back, arrived near Chang’an City, heard the news that she and the child were taken captive, and how he had the strength to run to rescue her.
Yuan Cixian asked Caizhi to bring the two children over, and after giving the order, Yuan Yu strode back and really hugged Lu Shiqing horizontally, leaving all the surprised eyes of the servants and maids in Lu’s house behind.
She said at first that he was just joking, and stared at him and the unconscious person in his arms for a while with her mouth open, before realizing it, she moved to the side of the bed to make room for Lu Shiqing.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shiqing would not wake up early or late, but just when Yuan Yu was about to lay him flat on the bed, he woke up when he opened his eyes and saw his face magnified several times, and rolled over in shock, “Boom “Falled on the bed with a sound.
Yuan Cixian was startled, and hurriedly touched him: “Did you fall?”
Lu Shiqing almost lost his arm last night, and his internal injuries were bruised due to the impact of the stone. In terms of physical condition, he is not much better than Yuan Cixian. Now such a fall, it is indeed a bit staring.
But he woke up when he heard the voice, and he almost scrambled to his feet and said, “Are you awake? Are you feeling better?”
He didn’t dare to call her before, and he kept trying to wait for her to sleep enough, but he couldn’t hold back and fell into a coma before seeing her wake up. He didn’t understand the situation right now, and he probably thought he hadn’t left at all.
Yuan Cixian curled her lips, and reached out to touch his thin face: “I’m fine.”
Lu Shiqing choked when he heard that. While she was asleep, the doctor came to see her and said that she had suffered so much that she had really damaged her roots. She was able to save her life only because of her good health, but she could not conceive again within three to five years. You have to put your mouth in your mouth, hold your palms together and take good care of them. Last night, it was rescued in time, but if it was a little bit worse, the root cause of the disease would fall, and the body would be weak and cold in winter.
With this experience of going to hell, Lu Shiqing originally didn’t intend to make her suffer anymore. Now that she has both children, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t have children for three to five years or for a lifetime. Even taking ten thousand steps back, even if he doesn’t have a child right now, as long as she is good, he is willing not to have any more, but if he goes underground in the future, he will have to make an apology to the ancestors of the Lu family.
Yuan Cixian saw that he was choked up and said nothing, smiled and said: “It’s nothing, look at me, I’m fatter than you.”
Lu Shiqing couldn’t hold back anymore, pulled her into his arms, and kept rubbing her shoulder: “I’m sorry, I broke my promise.”
She was born more than ten days earlier, so she really didn’t need to settle the account, but she still raised her head and pretended to be angry: “Then are you still running around?”
Lu Shiqing looked down at her, shook his head, and said seriously: “I will be where you are.”
“Take me everywhere?”
He nodded: “I will take you with me wherever I go.”
Yuan Cixian smiled against his chest: “I don’t want to relieve myself!”
“…”
