The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 147
The poor bone beside the Wuding River is still the person in the dream of a boudoir in spring. Princess Hua'an flashed these two lines of poems in her heart, and suddenly felt a pain. "You...get up." Princess Hua'an looked very complicated.

Yun Xiuyu knelt on the ground and refused to get up, "I beg Your Highness to help you."

Princess Hua An felt sorry for her poor third son, but she was not an irrational wicked woman who wanted to pay for the rest of an innocent girl's life.

She walked up to Yun Xiuyu and helped her up with her own hands, "Good boy, get up."

Princess Hua'an has been ill these days, and she has lost a lot of weight. She can't support Yun Xiuyu, but Yun Xiuyu dare not struggle, for fear of causing Her Royal Highness Princess Hua'an to fall, so she can only follow Princess Hua'an's lead. hands stood up.

Princess Hua'an looked at Yun Xiuyu carefully, but didn't speak.

The little girl had indeed lost a lot of weight, she was a whole circle thinner than when she came to look for Ah Fu last time, and her wrists were so skinny.

Princess Hua'an sighed, she also has sons and daughters, seeing the little girl so thin, she felt a little distressed, and she persuaded Yun Xiuyu to sit down.

"Go back, I'll just pretend that you haven't been here today, and no one else will know what's going on in this room."

Yun Xiuyu's complexion was not good at first, but she turned pale when she heard the words, "Your Highness, but what is wrong with my little girl, please give me a chance, Your Highness."

Her eyes were full of pleading and even a hint of expectation, "I will be a good wife."

"You are still young, and you will grow up forever." Princess Hua'an persuaded her sincerely.

"I'm not too young, I'm eighteen this year, and I'm willing to stay with him for the rest of my life."

Princess Hua'an picked up the teacup and concealed her tearful eyes, Zixuan, you have such an infatuated lover, why do you leave people alone.

Princess Hua An hurriedly stood up, "This is not appropriate, you go back," and ordered the servants, "Send Miss Yun out of the mansion."

Yun Xiuyu stood up and asked earnestly, "What is inappropriate is what I did not do well enough. If you tell me, I am willing to change it."

Princess Hua'an didn't look back, "Zixuan has already gone, if he is alive in heaven, he definitely doesn't want to delay your life, you can live a good life."

Yun Xiuyu didn't care whether Princess Hua'an could see it or not, so she nodded and left.

Everyone wrapped their robes around Gu Zixuan's body, and hugged him to keep warm. Gu Zixuan was still getting hotter and hotter. The soldiers lit the fire pocket and looked at it. Gu Zixuan's cheeks were abnormally red, and he reached out to touch his forehead. The burn was frightening.

The soldiers had no other choice, they managed to stuff him with two messy pills, and then he could only look at his luck. Once the wound in the army became inflamed, it was a matter of narrow escape, and it basically depended on the individual luck.

Gu Zixuan was stuck in a dream and couldn't wake up. He realized it was a dream for a while, but he couldn't open his eyes, and was lost in the dream scene for a while.

He felt as if he was falling into a sea of ​​flames, the flames were burning in excruciating pain, he was in agony, and there were waves of calls in his ears.

"Zixuan, third child, brother..."

"Who's calling me?"

"Get up, a gentleman must not be lazy all day."

"I still can't get up. I agreed that my mother would make two gestures in the morning?"

"Get up quickly, the sun is drying your ass, you promised to bring me a gift, if you don't get up again, I will cry."

"Don't..." Gu Zixuan suddenly woke up from the dream, squinting his eyes to look around, he couldn't recover for a while.

"General, general is awake."

"General... Your wound is probably inflamed. It burned very badly at night, and we don't have any medicine right now?" Some veterans with common sense in medicine frowned.

"I bring some anti-inflammatory drugs myself." Gu Qixuan moved his body and took out a small porcelain bottle from the inner pocket of his clothes. He poured out the pills in the bottle and swallowed them in one gulp.

There was no water, and he was ready to be tortured, but he felt a burst of sweetness slipping down his throat. He lay down for a while covering his robe, his body was not too tired, and the wound behind him didn't hurt too much. Gu Zixuan sat down Get up, return the robe to the soldier, pick up a branch from the ground, and draw on the ground.

"This is Jiu'an City. We are going west. At this time, we just turned around from the west gate. There is a forest over there. The people of Liz are not as familiar with the terrain as we are. The siege on Liz's side is easy to break through."

The soldiers nodded, we listen to you.

"When you return to the city, you can defend the city and ask for help from Hufeng Pass. At that time, not only will the long-term difficulties be solved, but you can even attack with Hufeng's reinforcements on both sides to destroy Liz's vital forces. If Liz dare not offend me Great Zhou." Gu Zixuan said in detail, what the soldiers lack most now is hope and courage, and he is giving them hope and courage.

"General, are you going to stay?" The soldiers asked Gu Zixuan worriedly. They saw with their own eyes that Gu Zixuan had a fever all night, and now he had to ride around on horseback, so they were unavoidably worried.

Gu Zixuan nodded, "It's okay, let's go."

He moved his shoulders slightly, and the burning pain on his shoulders was almost gone. Gu Zixuan's heart warmed, and he remembered the medicine that his sister secretly brought to him before leaving. It was not so much a magic pill that saved his life. My own life, it is better to say that my sister's heart saved my life.

It was the afternoon of the second day when they came back.

Sure enough, there were not many people on the west side, Gu Zixuan and his party carefully approached the city gate along the secret road.

wrong.

It's not that there are not many people in the woods, but that there are no people at all, and the woods are too quiet.

Gu Zixuan felt bad.

After walking a little further, I saw that the city gate was already wide open.

Several people were stunned.

Gu Zixuan stopped the soldiers who were going forward, and so on.

The wind blew gently, the city gate was half open, and the flag upstairs was gone.

Standing in the city, several people felt as if they were in a dream.

Dilapidated walls and ruins, sporadic houses are still smoking, as if they have just caught fire.

The point is no one.

Jiu'an became a dead city.

A man who would not cry even if he was injured, knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face. The burning house in front of him was his home. His wife just gave birth to their first child last month, and said yesterday morning There will be a full moon wine in two days.

Men do not flick their tears lightly, but before they are sad, this is their home.

"Uh..." There was a slight groan.

"Participant, it's the little six, the little six who beat the watch." The soldiers were a little surprised, and they surrounded him and called Gu Zixuan.

"Participating... General" Xiao Liuzi leaned against half of the low wall, his voice was weak, and there was a big puddle of blood under his body.

The "Little Six" soldiers tied their hands, not knowing what to do.

"No...no need, I'm... useless." Little Six had a bit of pain on his face.

"Yesterday...last night...for some reason...somehow, the city gate opened...the hungry wolf...came in." He couldn't describe the tragic scene at that time, but only showed a painful expression on his face.

The soldiers clenched their hands, their bloodshot eyes were full of hatred.

"They... know about the fact that there are holes in the homes of our city residents. They burned, killed and looted, and the rest were taken away." Little Six seemed to have gained some strength, and he spoke strangely smoothly.

"They are all inhuman beasts. They call the people of Dazhou two-legged sheep. In their hearts, people of Dazhou are not only slaves but also food." He gasped for breath, his eyes widened.

"Revenge, Jiu'an people want revenge."Little Liuzi muttered a few words, his head drooped weakly, but his eyes still refused to close.

Gu Zixuan reached out to close his eyes, but failed, he kept staring at the distance with resentment.

"Mrs. Qi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, please see me."

Princess Hua'an rubbed her forehead, she was out of spirits, and felt that this family was causing trouble for her, so she wanted to say no.

I also thought of the persistent eyes of the little girl. The girl from the Yun family is infatuated, but her parents are definitely not willing. have it all.

Forget it, let's make it clear.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness Princess Hua'an." Mrs. Qi greeted politely.

"Madam, please stand up and sit down." His Royal Highness Princess Hua'an said calmly.

Mrs. Qi sat on a chair.

Princess Hua'an took a look, Mrs. Qi looked haggard, her eyelids were swollen, and there were two smears of black and blue under her eye sockets.

Princess Hua'an sighed, feeling sorry for the parents of the world.

"Don't worry, His Highness won't take what the child says seriously. Miss Yun is young, so you can persuade her when you go home. How long can the child remember?" She was thinking about how long she could remember, How many people can remember my Zixuan?

Mrs. Qi's eyes were red, and she covered them with a veil, "No, I'm here to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Hua'an to consider the marriage between the third young master of your house and my eldest daughter."

Princess Hua'an was startled. She heard that Mrs. Qi is a very sensible person and loves her daughter very much. She can tell from the fact that she chose a husband for her daughter. What does this mean? Could it be an official? Persecuted by the Minister of the Ministry, he wanted to sacrifice a daughter to take over the favor of the Gu family.

Don't blame Princess Hua'an for thinking about conspiracy theories, Madam Qi's words were really unexpected.

Mrs. Qi closed her eyes, sat up straight, and said slowly, "Ayu has always had her own ideas since she was a child. She is my eldest daughter, and I put the most energy into her. I can proudly say that Ayu is a smart and sensible woman." Good boy."

"I also thought this child was just young for a while. She was always sensible and obedient. I grounded her, but she didn't complain, and went obediently. I should have thought of it a long time ago, since she lost so much weight. It's time to think about it."

Mrs. Qi said in a daze.

Princess Hua'an's heart tightened.

"Is the child okay?"

Mrs. Qi shook her head, "Drinking the medicine, she was rescued. This child has been upright since she was a child. I held her in my arms, and she kept crying. I couldn't resist her. She thought she would go too, and the two are a perfect match." I'm really scared, I still want to see my daughter."

Mrs. Qi got up and knelt down, "I beg Your Highness to help you."
