Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 391 Rescue
After walking for a few days, Su Qingning's carriage was getting closer and closer to the capital.

Along the way, Nanny Chen deliberately asked the coachman to go slower, in order to be stable.

The carriage was arranged by the emperor himself, and it was already very comfortable. Now that the driver slowed down again, Su Qingning hardly felt any discomfort on the way back to the capital.

This made Nanny Chen breathe a sigh of relief. She had been worried that the master would still feel unwell on the way back.

"Master, we're almost in the capital." During the break, Nanny Chen handed the water to Su Qingning and said.

"However, I've only been away for a few days, and I'm back again. That's good, as long as I don't worry about the two children." When they left the capital, Xuanyuan Hao and Xuanyuan Han were left behind at the Shen family.

Along the way, Su Qingning was worried. She thought that she would have to wait for a long time before seeing her again, but she didn't expect that she would come back after only half a month.

Shaking her head helplessly, Su Qingning drank some water and had almost rested. Nanny Chen helped her into the carriage and continued on her way.

On the other side, Emperor Chen was also resting. He took a sip of water and estimated the time.

He reckoned that at this time, Su Qingning was about to arrive in the capital.

"How many days before we can reach the waterway?" After half a month's journey by land, the distance to the waterway is not far away.

Emperor Chen knew that Xuanyuanqi was on the waterway and was going to ambush him.

Of course, he was also prepared, but the bait had to be him.

Along the way, the dark guards monitored a lot of eyes, and he knew that these were Xuanyuanqi's people. If he didn't make the bait himself, Xuanyuanqi might not be able to take the bait.

This time, no matter what, Xuanyuanqi had to be caught.

"If you go back to the emperor, you will be able to go to the waterway in about three days. Everything is ready." There is a double meaning in this sentence. On the one hand, it is to tell the emperor that the boats that take the waterway to the palace have been prepared.

On the other hand, it is to tell the emperor that their people are also ready.

As long as Xuanyuanqi makes a move, their people will move out when they leave. At that time, the soldiers from the northwest border will also make a move. The two sides will attack, and they may not be able to catch Xuanyuanqi.

After listening to the report, Emperor Chen nodded, and he stood up, ready to continue to set off.

…………

The emperor was calculating the time to reach the waterway, and Xuanyuanqi was also calculating the time for the emperor's arrival.

At this time, Xuanyuanqi was on land, and he couldn't stand the days of being on the water all the time.

"Why hasn't there been any news lately?" Xuanyuanqi asked with a frown after eating a mouthful of watermelon.

It stands to reason that after these days, news should have been sent from the northwest border.

"Perhaps when I entered the border, I was caught by something. You also know that the group of people at the border has been guarding against our people."

Hearing Xuanyuan Qi's question, one of his subordinates spoke up and responded to his question.

"What's the use of being on guard, haven't we returned to Daxing? A bunch of useless things!" After listening to his subordinates, Xuanyuanqi spoke again. He didn't know whether to scold his subordinates or the soldiers at the northwest border.

"My lord, calm down, or else... the slave will come back to find some fun for you?" The fun he was talking about was nothing more than a woman, Xuanyuan Qi waved his hand, with an irritable expression on his face.

"You go on your own, my king will go to sleep." The people under his command were all from Hua/Street/Willow/Xiang, and he was a majestic prince, so naturally he didn't like that kind of stuff/color.

Xuanyuanqi said so, his subordinates responded and retreated, he got up and went back to the room, ready to sleep for a while.

Xuanyuanqi still doesn't know that his tribe outside the border has been wiped out by Shen Xiao's troops, not only that, but also arrested many people, including his women and children.

The only ones who ran out were Chu Yurou and Zixiao. They fainted on the road, but were rescued.

Opening her eyes in a daze, Chu Yurou looked at the strange things above her head, feeling a little lost.

"Are you awake?" There was a voice, and Chu Yurou turned her head, only to see a woman in a foreign costume looking at her.

"You are?" asked in confusion, Chu Yurou sat up, only feeling weak and limp.

"Don't move, the doctor said you are weak and need a good rest, are you hungry?" The woman smiled lightly and brought a glass of water first. "Drink some water first, and I'll have someone bring you food later."

Chu Yurou was indeed thirsty and hungry, she thanked her, took the water from the woman's hand, and drank it in small sips.

While drinking, she looked at everything in the house. The furnishings in the house looked simple, but everything she brought out was worth a lot of money. It seemed that the person who saved her must have a good family background.

However, the clothes on this woman were not Daxing's, and I don't know where I was rescued?

"What about... my sister?" Zi Xiao has been with her for many years, and in her heart, she is just like a sister.

There was only her and this woman in the room, without Zi Xiao, Chu Yurou felt a little panicked.

"Don't worry, she's in another room, she's probably going to wake up by now." Taking the cup from Chu Yurou's hand, the woman replied with a smile.

"You eat something first, and it won't be too late to see your sister when your body recovers."

While talking, the woman walked to the door and gave orders to the outside. After a while, someone brought food and delivered it to the house.

When she said this, Chu Yurou was still worried, she bit her lips, "I still want to see her now, please forgive me, Miss She is weak, she was seriously ill before, I can't rest assured if I don't see her with my own eyes."

"Well, that's fine, you come with me." Hearing what she said, the woman came forward and helped her up from the bed, and the two of them left the room and walked towards the next room.

"I didn't arrange you too far, it's next door, so you can rest assured?" The two entered the room, Zi Xiao was still asleep, Chu Yurou came to the bedside, touched her forehead, and shook hands again. shake her hand.

There seemed to be no problem, which made Chu Yurou heave a sigh of relief, as long as there was nothing wrong, she was most worried about Zixiao's accident.

With great difficulty, she found Zi Xiao. It can be said that Zi Xiao is the only relative she has left in this world.

"She hasn't woken up yet, why don't you go and eat something?" When the man saw it, the woman spoke again, Chu Yurou nodded, and followed the woman back to the room.

The food was very light. After all, she had just woken up, and she had been hungry for a long time before, so it was not suitable for her to eat food that was not easy to digest.

After thanking her, Chu Yurou sat down and ate. The woman looked at her and found that she was eating gracefully. She guessed that she must be a woman from a rich family.

With some confidence in her stomach, Chu Yurou looked at the woman, "I haven't asked the girl's name yet, I don't know if she saved me?"
