Chapter 54: Imprisoned
Xu Yan raised her feet with difficulty and moved forward. The weight on her back almost crushed her. The whole temple seemed to be an empty temple. No matter how loud she made any noise, she would be silenced by the huge silence.
Devour.
The person on her back seemed to move and let out a painful groan. Xu Yan squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Keep on holding on, and I'll take you to the doctor."
Just now, on the edge between life and death, he used all his strength to push her away from the clutches of death and saved her life.
Xu Yan fell to the ground and turned around in pain. What he saw was that he was hit hard by a shaky beam.
He Xun, what virtue and ability do I have to deserve you to protect me so loyally?
Xu Yan quickly ran over and slapped He Xun's bloody face, but didn't get the slightest reaction. It seemed that the old injury had not healed before such a serious new injury was added. After several blows, this man who looked extremely weak was
Finally fell down.
She looked around, and even ran out to call for help. But the heavy night swallowed up all her voices. She seemed to be standing in a remote valley, with only her own echo echoing faintly in the night.
Her eyes darkened, knowing that she could not go on like this. She turned back and tried to lift the beam with her own strength, only to find that she could not shake it at all. If the force was not used properly, it would continue to roll down.
It pressed down on He Xun's legs, causing him even more pain.
The smoke seemed to be getting thicker, and the raging flames illuminated most of the sky.
Even though he was so calm, looking at He Xun's increasingly pale face at this moment, he couldn't help but become anxious. Moreover, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and soon everything in the courtyard would be burned to the ground.
Suddenly, an iron rod placed in an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard caught her attention.
She quickly walked over and pushed the iron rod to the ground, rolling it under the beam that was pressing He Xun. Then she used all her strength to jump hard on one end of the iron rod, and the raised end of the iron rod partially lifted the beam!
Xu Yan saw this opportunity and quickly pulled He Xun out.
With a "bang" sound, the beam hit the iron bar heavily.
Xu Yan couldn't care less, she stepped forward and put He Xun on her back, and ran out of the hospital.
The winter night was extremely cold, and Xu Yan was only wearing this thin pajamas when she escaped. But now, under the howling cold wind, the pajamas were as thin as if they were nothing. She trembled as she walked forward
Every step is extremely difficult.
The cold and He Xun's weight on her back almost crushed her, but she knew she couldn't fall, at least not here!
She tried desperately to think of other things to divert her attention. For example, where had the four palace maids gone? Why was it that there seemed to be no one in the temple, and no one came no matter how she tried to ask for help? Some of the important officials who had come with her were already gone.
Was he bribed by someone behind the scenes, or...
Were they also plotted by someone behind the scenes?
Thinking of this, a wave of fear crept into Xu Yan's heart.
Who is it? Who is trying to attack her over and over again? She is the crown prince of the Xu Kingdom. According to historical records, the people who murder the crown prince should most likely be the daughters of the empress.
However, the mother-in-law's offspring were few and far between, and she only had five princesses and one prince in total. The second princess was born to Mei Junzi. Mei Junzi was weak and probably contracted tuberculosis, and there was no cure for it. When the second princess was two years old,
So he went.
The body of the second princess also followed him. One night, she developed a high fever and the palace attendant on duty failed to take good care of her. She died at the age of five.
Among the remaining three princesses, the eldest princess and the third princess were born by Lan Junzi. They are all older, and they all married their respective royal husbands in the past few years and moved to the fiefdom designated for them by their mother.
Already.
Lan Junzi was the most gentle and kind-hearted person, and his character was highly praised by people in the palace. The eldest and third emperor sisters had no intention of participating in political struggles. After they reached adulthood, they happily went to fiefdom.
When one's own idleness is gone.
The remaining brother, because he is a man, does not have the custom of men proclaiming themselves emperor in the Xu Kingdom. Moreover, he has already been engaged to Wang Jinyin, the eldest daughter of the chief minister Wang Qin, so he will not mention it.
Then the only one left is Xu Luoyang. Her actions a few years ago can almost be said to have shocked the whole country. But if she did such a thing, why would they come to harm her? For the throne?
This reason obviously didn't make sense. Xu Yan's heart kept swaying.
There seemed to be movement on He Xun's back, interrupting Xu Yan's speculation. He said to Xu Yan in a weak voice: "Your Highness, let this slave come down."
Xu Yan took a long time to understand what he was saying. She said to him in a gentle tone: "Now that you are injured, you should go to see a doctor properly."
He Xun wanted to struggle down, but Xu Yan held him down.
Xu Yan feigned anger and said, "If you continue to disobey me, then you don't have to be my slave anymore."
He Xun stopped his actions after hearing this.
Xu Yan continued to walk forward, only to realize that she had nowhere to go. In this huge temple, there was no one she could trust. They greeted each other with smiles, but at some point they pulled out a sharp knife and stabbed them fiercely.
Stab her heart.
Moreover, the imperial physician who came with us this time was still the same Imperial Physician Huang from last time. Based on his personality, he might not have pushed them ten meters away.
But He Xun's injury had to be treated. Last time, he did not receive medical treatment from a doctor and only treated the external injuries randomly. This time the beam hit his back, and he didn't know what kind of injury it would cause.
Xu Yan's mind was rapidly thinking of various solutions to the problem. Suddenly, an idea hit her. She seemed to have seen a family at the foot of Baohua Mountain, and wondered if they could take her to a doctor.
She weighed He Xun on her back and thought: We can't delay it any longer. If we delay it any longer, he will really be hopeless.
After firming up this belief, she moved forward down the mountain resolutely.
In a corner that she couldn't see, a man held the sword in his arms and showed a playful smile.
"Are you really not going to stop her?"
"What are you afraid of? There are so many guards at the door. If she really escapes, it will only mean that they are too useless." The man said mockingly.
The man who spoke to him looked at his expression and closed his mouth knowingly.
Ahead, Xu Yan realized something was wrong. She listened to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer, and quickly hid behind a tree to disguise the two of them.
"Are you sure she didn't escape?"
"Don't worry, I saw that person lock her into the house with my own eyes. How could she, an eight-year-old child, escape?" A familiar voice sounded, and Xu Yan was startled when he heard this.
"Why did you come back so early? If something goes wrong, how are you going to explain it to the person above you?"
"Don't fucking point your fingers at me. Aren't you just one level senior to me? After finishing this order, I see you still dare to bark like this in front of me!"
After speaking, the man left in a hurry. The man left behind sighed, observed the surrounding environment for a moment, and then followed back uneasily.
