Lu Qingtang held the plum fruit in his hand and was about to smash it down when he suddenly saw a flash of fire not far away. After howling wildly, the wolves under the tree clamped their tails and retreated continuously, but they still did not forget to howl at the group of firelights, but the sound was not as majestic as before, but it sounded like a dog had been hit on the head by a stone. Like a bereaved dog.
In the hazy state, she saw Yu Bai, Yuan Lang, and other guards waving their torches to fight off the wolves. The person at the end looked familiar, and seemed to be Zeng Ke.
He seemed brave, but not that brave.
As cowardly as ever.
The fatigue and fear of the whole day relaxed at this moment, and she finally let out a breath. The next moment, she saw Mo Zeshen's face.
He was standing under the tree, his tall back slightly loaded, his face full of anxiety and worry, and his eyes full of fatigue and distress. He stretched out his hand to her, his deep voice choked with sobs, "Tangtang, I'm here to save you. The children are very worried about you."
Lu Qingtang immediately climbed over to him and carefully got down from the tree with his help. He put on his coat and carried him all the way out of the valley. He had also been tired for a whole day, and he was replaced by Yu Bai, Yuan Lang, and Zeng Ke along the way, but he was always worried, for fear that they would bump into Lu Qingtang.
Lu Qingtang only felt a little warm in his broad arms. She hugged his neck and listened to his heavy breathing, saying nothing the whole way.
After getting in the car, Mo Zeshen wrapped her tightly in a quilt and took a water bag and snacks.
He unplugged the water bag and handed it to her, his red eyes sparkling with stars, "Honey is added to the water."
Lu Qingtang quickly took the honey water and drank it down. Mo Zeshen's extremely gentle voice came to his ears, "Slow down."
As he spoke, he wiped the water that overflowed from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then handed the soft and sweet snack to her hand. To prevent her from choking after eating too quickly, he broke the snack into small pieces.
After eating the snack, Mo Zeshen took out the medicine and applied it to her. The medicine powder stimulated the wound and made her hurt. The grievance and panic in his heart burst out with the pain. Big tears oozed out from his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears rolled down one by one.
She pushed away Mo Ze's drugged hand, hugged him, and cried miserably on his shoulder. Mo Zeshen immediately dropped the medicine in his hand and hugged her tightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He choked, and his red eyes contained self-blame, fear, and distress.
How did she get herself into this state, let alone what she had gone through and how scared she was in that tree.
After a long time, Lu Qingtang's crying gradually became fainter. Mo Zeshen looked down at her and closed her eyes, her wet eyelashes still trembling on her eyelids. He held her in his arms, including the quilt, and gently patted her back with his hands, just like she was doing when she was coaxing a baby to cry. It took a long time for the man in his arms to calm down, except for the occasional twitch.
Mo Zeshen hugged Lu Qingtang with one hand and took out a sign from his arms with the other.
This was found in the cave. There were two corpses and a tied guard lying inside. The guard told him that after being knocked unconscious by Lu Qingtang, he was nowhere to be seen when he woke up.
When he knew that Lu Qingtang had stepped into the deep forest alone, his first reaction was fear. There are so many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the woods. If something happens to him, how will he live the rest of his life?
He didn't dare to think any more, he just hugged the person in his arms tighter, and didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that he would disappear in the next second.
If he dares to attack his woman, he must make Zhennan Palace pay the price!
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Lu Qingtang also woke up in the carriage. When she saw the sign in Mo Zeshen's hand, she knew that he had entered the cave and saw Ling Guang tied up. .
So she asked: "How is the guard named Ling Guang doing?"
Mo Zeshen held her hand and told her with a gentle face, "I have already controlled him. He is now locked up in Kaishan Temple outside the city and is guarded by guards."
Lu Qingtang nodded, "He wanted to let me go, but I was worried that he would commit suicide, so I knocked him unconscious and tied him up. I thought you would save him if you came to me."
Only then did Mo Zeshen realize that this guard was very skilled. If he hadn't been attacked by surprise, ten Lu Qingtang would not have been his opponent. But this is the virtue Lu Qingtang has accumulated in his daily life, otherwise the little guard would not have the conscience to let her go.
The two got out of the car, and Mo Zeshen wanted to take her to the yard to see the children. They disappeared one day, and he was also worried about the babies. But Lu Qingtang was afraid that the injuries on his face would scare the babies, and there was another more important thing.
After entering the palace gate, Lu Qingtang and Mo Zeshen went straight to the study of Zhennan Wang Ji Wuhen.
In the study, Ji Wuhen was handling official business sent from various prefectures and counties in front of the paperwork.
Everyone in the palace was mobilized to look for Lu Qingtang. Suddenly there were so many people gone, and the palace seemed much more depressed and quiet.
It stands to reason that Lu Qingtang's accident and the fact that he hasn't come back yet means that Ling Guanghe succeeded, but why he definitely doesn't feel happy, instead he feels uneasy.
This was not the first time he had attacked someone from the royal family. He remembered that the last time he was a heir left behind by the late emperor was killed by his own hands. At that time, he was not as uneasy as he is now.
It had been an afternoon, and he hadn't read a single memorial. The words on it were dazzling, and the more he read, the more anxious he became. I didn't even take a few bites of lunch, I always felt like something was going to happen.
He put down the memorial in his hand and reached out to open the nearest drawer. There was a neatly folded handkerchief inside. The veil is a little yellowish, and embroidered on it is a pair of mandarin ducks with their ears and temples rubbing together, and a small word "rou" is embroidered on the corner.
He stretched out his hand to caress Yuanyang and murmured: "Rou'er, are you complaining about me?"
As he spoke, he put the handkerchief against his chest, as if Hua Rou's hands were caressing his chest. He recalled those gentle and affectionate eyes in his mind, and felt comforted in his heart.
He sighed, "Rou'er, don't blame me. I know she is your flesh and blood, and you will feel sorry for her no matter how much. But that kind of thing is not of your own free will, and I can't let you leave with a stain..."
When Lu Qingtang outside the door heard this, he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Now she finally understood why her mother left Princess Zhennan alone and became Lu Huaian's concubine instead.
This man was too self-righteous. How could he know that he was the product of rape and that his mother did not do it voluntarily? He takes himself too seriously, and it's not like all men in the world are dead.
At the same time, she also figured out why King Zhennan wanted to kill her. It turned out that he himself moved her.
How ridiculous!
