rich concubine

Chapter 2338 A cipher text

It was pitch dark in her sleep, and Rong Yi was woken up by a fright. A big python suddenly appeared in her dream, opening its mouth and trying to eat her, which scared her to the core.

When she opened her eyes suddenly, she felt that her mouth was dry and her back was wet with sweat. Rong Yi stood up and was sleeping soundly. When she woke up so suddenly, her head was still a little heavy. She put on her shoes and was about to go. When I was pouring a glass of water at the table, I realized something was wrong in the room.

He looked up and settled on the spot.

The man, still wearing the bamboo hat, suddenly appeared in the house. Rong Yi recognized such a figure at a glance.

As if she couldn't believe it, thinking it was a dream she had missed and even had. Her legs felt as if they were filled with lead and it was difficult to walk. She walked forward step by step. The man in black clothes and hat remained motionless until She touched his arm, a real touch. Rong Yi's eyes widened and she looked at him blankly and said, "You're back... Why are you back suddenly?"

The man seemed to have been burned. He turned slightly to avoid her touch, and then untied his bamboo hat, revealing his dusty face, which was bloodless and his lips were pale and chapped. Rong Yi took a look. I was so distressed that I didn't even notice his move to avoid it.

She only knew that her husband must have suffered a lot during this journey. With tears in her eyes, she looked back and saw that the door had been closed. Her mind was spinning a thousand times. , she asked: "Tell me, did you have some mission this time and came back quietly? Does anyone else know?"

Jiang Shunxiao looked at her with complicated eyes. He suddenly reached out and hugged her, hugging her with all the joy and admiration. But in the next second, his internal organs began to hurt slowly. He gritted his teeth and endured it, only holding her in his arms. The man in the middle hugged tightly and whispered: "I rushed all the way back to deliver a secret message to the emperor, but my target is too big. I'm afraid there are many people in the capital who want to kill me. I cannot personally deliver this secret message to the palace."

Hearing this, Rong Yi grabbed the clothes around his waist tightly, smelled the smell of blood on his body, held back her tears, and said hurriedly: "If it is inconvenient for you, just put the things here with me, I will give them to my father, and he will come up Then take it to the palace during court."

Jiang Shunxiao let go of her, held her face, looked into her eyes, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, shook his head and said: "Father can't go, this secret message can only be given to the emperor alone, who can No one can know, including my father.”

Why?

Rong Yi wanted to ask, but looking at his eyes, Rong Yi just nodded and said, "Okay, father can't give it away, so how about I do it? I promise I will never open it to see for myself, so I will go to the palace to see the empress." In this name, I will hand over the things to the emperor smoothly, can you believe me?"

Jiang Shunxiao smiled painfully: "How could I not believe you? It's just... this secret message is so important. I personally escorted it back and was almost assassinated on the road. I can't rest assured if I leave it to others. Did you know that the person summoned by this secret message will be I am afraid that someone will know the news of my return to Beijing tonight. By then, you will not be safe. At this time, it is too risky for you to enter the palace to see the Queen."

Rong Yi said: "But besides me, is there any better way? My father is an important minister in the court, and his goal is bigger than mine."

Jiang Shunxiao fell silent, and Rong Yi grabbed his hand and said, "You also know that you can only leave it to me. There is no other way. Since this secret message is so important, it will make anyone uneasy if you give it to me. Why don't you give it to me?" I promise you that Ciwen is here and if I am in danger, Ciwen and I will take care of it."

Jiang Shunxiao couldn't hide his confusion. He watched her take a deep breath, and finally nodded and agreed.

"Madam, are you still asleep?" Poria's voice suddenly sounded outside.

Rong Yi was startled and looked into Jiang Shunxiao's eyes. Seeing his calm look, she heard him say: "After all, I can't hide my return. Go and ask them to fetch water and prepare some medicine." .”

Rong Yi nodded and went out to give orders.

The prince's sudden return to the house should have caused a commotion, but under Rong Yi's repeated instructions, the people below kept their mouths shut and did not dare to talk nonsense. In such a quiet time, fetching water and delivering medicine, everything was Quietly.

Rong Yi stared outside, waiting until the water was almost boiling, then turned back, but did not see anyone in the main room. After a slight pause, she probably knew where the person was.Turning around, she went to the children's wing. The two eldest children naturally had their own rooms. Rong Yi went straight to Jiacheng's dormitory, and Jiang Shunxiao was indeed there.

As if aware of her approach, Jiang Shunxiao stood by the bed, watching the quilt he had just covered being kicked away by his son, and lowered his voice and said, "When did he get into this habit of kicking the quilt off in his dreams?"

Rong Yi bent down and took out the quilt from under Jiacheng's legs, put it on his waist, and said, "It's too hot. I feel heavy and uncomfortable."

Jiang Shunxiao looked at his son's visibly slimmer face, and then looked at his wife. When he first saw her, he noticed that she had lost a lot of weight, and now he felt even worse looking at his child.

"Aren't you eating well at home these days? The children have lost weight since they lost weight. Why have you become so thin?"

Rong Yi was speechless and whispered: "It's too hot. In addition, Chengcheng has been practicing martial arts with his master these days. After practicing, his body shape has changed somewhat."

Jiang Shunxiao took her hand: "You..."

"Mom...Dad?!"

Before the adult finished speaking, he had already woken up the little one from his sleep. This night was destined not to be "peaceful".

When Jiang Shunxiao was taking a bath, Jiacheng was helping. There were children inside, so Rong Yi didn't go in and waited outside.

Jiacheng's smile slowly solidified as he watched his father take off his black clothes. The white clothes he wore underneath were stained with blood.

Taking his father's clothes, he held it under his nose and smelled it. It was impossible to see where his injuries were in this black clothes, but there was a strong smell of blood on it, which he only realized now.

"Dad...where are you injured?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Shunxiao stopped taking off his clothes. After looking at his son's shining eyes, he finally couldn't bear it.

"Don't look at it. The wound is ugly. I'm scared to see it. You go out and stay with your mother. You'll come out after dad finishes washing it."

Jiacheng shook his head fiercely: "I'm not afraid! I will stay with you here. It is normal for men to bleed in battles. My son is not afraid! My son just wants to know where you are injured? Why are you still bleeding so much?"

Looking at his stubborn eyes, Jiang Shunxiao suddenly remembered that Rongyi had just said that he had been strengthened to practice Kung Fu. For a moment, he had mixed feelings. As a father, he wanted to preserve the child's innocence and prevent him from being the same as when he was a child. But it was Because as a father and a general, he didn't want his son to grow up into a coward who only shed tears but didn't know how to protect himself.
