Chapter 148 (1/2)
”You've always been mu Langhua, but you can revive your soul with Xue ronghua's body, and mu Langhua's shadow is everywhere in your life. It's also because you're mu Langhua with Xue ronghua.” Chu Zongge's eyes were deep. ”I hope you can cut off the past, say goodbye to Mu Langhua of the state of Qi and become my Xue ronghua.”
Xue ronghua was stunned. In her mind, she said vaguely, ”you say that. I'm very confused.”
”There's nothing to be confused about.” Chu Zongge laughed, ”you're so smart that you can figure it out at once.”
Xue ronghua brooded quietly in his warm arms for a moment. Whispered, ”let's go back.”
”Why do you want to go back so much that you don't want to stay alone with me for a while,” Chu Zongge said with jealousy in his voice. ”Is there anyone in the wedding procession more handsome and handsome than me? You miss it so much.”
”Don't make fun of me,” Xue ronghua beat his hard chest with crimson cheeks. ”I have to find Xiang He.”
”Haven't you talked to her?” Chu Zongge didn't understand. ”She defines what should be said and what shouldn't be said very clearly. She won't say one more word to you.”
”I also know that she is like a well-trained soldier. She is only loyal to one master.” Xue ronghua sighed, ”but I want to try to find out some news about Zhu Tong from her mouth. She must know a lot of things.”
”I don't think you need to spend so much time on Zhu Tong,” Chu Zongge touched his chin. ”It's not very important anymore. The next thing to deal with is your old affairs.”
”But Zhu Tong helped me a lot after all. I can't just let go,” Xue ronghua bit his lip. ”Before I do, I have to think about Princess Poyang. Xiang He said she would send rescuers from Xirong.”
Chu Zongge immediately said, ”this is unlikely. It is estimated that Xiang He will enter the harem.”
”I think so too. Where would Xirong take such a big risk for a princess to break the balance of the Three Kingdoms,” Xue ronghua said, ”but Xianghe really believes that Princess Poyang has stayed in Xirong for three years and will not have a very close relationship with the Xirong royal family.”
”The princess will not betray the country. She is at most a nodding friend with that side,” Chu Zongge half narrowed his eyes. ”Does the princess have anything to hide from us?”
Xiang He opened the curtain of a tent and asked the royal doctor accompanying him, ”how's the woman?”
After applying the plaster to the scarred woman on the blanket, the royal doctor respectfully said to her, ”if you return to the princess, she's not seriously hurt. Just treat her a little.”
Xiang He nodded and raised his chin. ”Go out first and I'll look at her.”
The palace man on one side said, ”Princess Jinzhiyuye, don't do such a thing. Let the slaves come.”
”What's the matter with such a small matter,” said Xiang He, with an indifferent face, rolling up his sleeve. ”I can't always stay in the sedan chair until the state of Qi.”
Seeing her serious appearance, the palace people dared not interfere with her decision, so they had to hurry down.
Xiang he squatted down to look at the dying woman and asked softly, ”how are you?”
When the woman heard her call, she slightly opened her eyes, wriggled her pale lips and made a weak voice, ”thank you... Thank you...”
”If you really can't speak, don't speak,” said Xiang He, looking at the pretty face of the woman after cleaning. ”The bandits who chased you have been driven away. You're not seriously injured. Just take care of yourself for two days.”
”The little girl thanked the benefactor for saving her life.” the woman lowered her head in tears, and the birthmark at the end of her eyes bloomed like begonia flowers. ”The little girl saw that the benefactor came with soldiers. I don't know which general's house?”
”Oh,” Xiang he lowered his eyes and hesitated, ”I'm... I'm the Poyang Princess of Qin.”
The woman's face changed slightly and exclaimed, ”is it the princess of the state of Qin who is going to marry the state of Qi?”
”Yes.”
The woman quickly turned over and knelt down, ”see Princess Poyang.”
Seeing her strange reaction, Xiang He said strangely, ”you don't have to salute. You still have injuries. Lie down quickly.”
The woman sat up and stared at her eyes.
The alarm bell in Xiang He's heart is loud. He won't die. He saved an acquaintance who knew the princess here. It would be terrible if she recognized it as a fake.
”You,” Xiang he coughed his throat, ”what are you staring at me for? Is there something on my face?”
”Er...” the woman paused and said, ”the princess doesn't seem to look the same as when she was a child.”
Sure enough, she is an acquaintance of the princess. Xiang he calmed his face and asked in a slow voice, ”you've seen me before. Why don't I know you very well?”
”Maybe the princess was too young at that time. She and her husband had just passed away,” the woman rubbed her hands and smiled. ”The princess doesn't remember her daughter?”
Xiang He shook his head, ”I don't remember. Who are you?”
”My daughter is the princess's cousin,” she grinned. ”Mrs. Heyi is my daughter's aunt.”
”I......” Xiang he casually found a reason to prevaricate, ”I had a serious illness before and forgot many things.”
”My daughter is Xie Yingmei,” she blinked. ”Does the princess think of me?”
Xiang He secretly remembered the name in his heart and said with a smile: ”Oh, it seems that he has some impression.”
”I didn't expect to meet the princess here. It's really lucky,” said Xie Yingmei with tears in her eyes. ”I don't know how long I haven't seen the princess. It's about twelve years.”
