The man's eyes looked fierce, like a hungry wolf bleeding, and two abnormal blushes appeared on his pale cheeks.
The fierce gaze turned on Zhang Di's face, her eyes suddenly shrank, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she let go of her hand unconsciously.
"It's you? Where is this? Why are you here?" The man stared at Zhang Di with a good look. Although his hand released her neck, it was still resting on Zhang Di's lifeline. As long as she made the slightest movement, she would be instantly It could kill her in a moment.
Zhang Di recognized the man. Although she only met him once, she had a good memory and recognized him.
And judging from the man's reaction when he saw her, he obviously recognized her.
Just recognize it!
She didn't have to waste any more time explaining.
Zhang Di breathed a sigh of relief, forced herself to be calm and lowered her voice and said: "I am the concubine of King Han now, so naturally I am in the palace of King Han." She paused slightly, turned her head and looked out the empty window, and her voice became more cautious and cautious. He was humble: "Master Meng, shouldn't he be in Yuhua Mountain? Why is he here?"
The man locked up in the shabby room turned out to be Meng Suigai, who was supposed to be recuperating from his injuries in the Department of Internal Security.
Hearing Zhang Di's words, Meng Suigai's eyes darkened, he pursed his lips and said nothing, with a trace of surprise and uncertainty in his heart.
He slowly let go of Zhang Di, his eyes flashed, and his face became uncertain.
The first time he saw Zhang Di, he recognized her.
Only then was he extremely surprised at where he was now.
She was even more confused about Zhang Di's unexpected appearance.
How could the King of Han's concubine be sent to serve him?
Zhang Di didn't speak either.
Although she is a country girl, she is not really stupid or timid, nor does she know anything about the outside world.
She knew that the saint went out of the capital to Yuhua Mountain to escape the summer heat, and Mr. Han, the envoy of the Department of Internal Health, also went there with him. As Mr. Han's personal guard, Meng Sui should be in Yuhua Mountain at this time.
But he appeared here.
She thought she had always been smart, but now she felt that her brain was a bit out of use.
She had seen King Han and Master Han together. They could not be said to be close, but they were definitely not hostile.
There is no need or reason for the King of Han to capture Lord Han’s guards!
Thinking of this, Zhang Di looked at Meng Suigai and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Meng, you, you weren't captured by His Highness's people, were you?"
Meng Suige lay back weakly and sighed: "You are indeed smart."
"Smart!" Zhang Di chuckled self-deprecatingly. She naturally thought so in the past, but after entering Beijing, she discovered that everything was just her self-righteousness.
She couldn't afford to be smart, and at best she wasn't stupid.
It was a matter of great importance to the imperial court and relatives of the emperor and the country. Zhang Di knew that she could not ask too many questions, as asking too many questions would lead to a quick death.
Zhang Di blinked: "Master Meng, is there any way to escape?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at Meng Sui's right hand, which was wrapped like a rice dumpling. The blood had seeped into the white cotton cloth. The blood stains had dried up, and the uneven dark red blood scabs looked shocking.
The right hand was hanging limply.
Zhang Di remembered that Meng Suigai had used his left hand to strangle her neck just now. Then his right hand...
Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt that she had said the wrong thing. It was not whether there was a way to escape, but if he had not been injured, he would not have ended up in this situation.
She opened her mouth and was about to explain, but she saw Meng Suige make a "shush" gesture, quickly closed his eyes, fell into the straw, and looked like he was not sure whether he was alive or dead.
Zhang Di understood and retreated under the window.
Sure enough, as soon as she stood under the window, a "tuk-tuk" sound came from outside the window.
Zhang Di's back stiffened, and she turned around and showed an impeccable, humble and timid smile: "Brother, I brought you the bedding. Oh, and there's also lunch. Thank you for your hard work, brother."
Standing outside the window was the boy who often ran errands with Ayong, passing things in through the dilapidated window lattice.
He glanced at Zhang Di, still looking like a timid young man.
He felt relieved and handed the things into the house.
A half-worn thin bedding was taken from the bunk bed in the back room just now.
A hexagonal three-tiered food box made of chicken wing wood contained food. Although they were all simple meals, they were all steaming with light white heat.
The last thing handed in was a square brocade box. When opened, there were two long-necked porcelain vases and two small round bowls.
Also have a roll of clean white cotton.
"Porcelain bottles for internal use, round bowls for external use, twice a day, don't let him die." The boy was a man of few words. He handed the things in one after another, said this lightly, and then turned around. He left without giving Zhang Di a chance to say a few words.
Zhang Di said "Hey", opened her mouth, and finally sighed.
She looked at the food and medicine on the floor and asked Meng Suigai in a low voice: "Mr. Meng, should you eat first or take medicine first?"
Meng Suigai straightened up and looked at the food.
It's still the same dishes as before, but for two people.
He glanced at Zhang Di.
Since the meal was for two people, and Zhang Di was sent by them to take care of him, they would definitely not tamper with the meal.
On the first day he came here, he often took Ruanjin San in his meals.
From then on, he never had a mouthful of food or a mouthful of water.
That's why he is so weak.
"Let's eat first." He sat up straight and said weakly but not despairingly.
Zhang Di laid out the food, her eyes were full of steaming food, she couldn't swallow it, she opened her mouth several times to ask something, but finally closed her mouth.
Meng Suigai was not sure that the person in front of him was trustworthy, but now he only had this choice.
Maybe you can try it out.
He asked calmly: "What happened in the house?"
Zhang Di was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "I don't know what happened in the house. It seems that nothing happened, but something is very wrong.":
"What's wrong?" Meng Suigao was tempted and knew that this was his only chance.
Zhang Di tilted her head and thought for a moment: "If something is wrong, it happened after Your Highness went to Yuhua Mountain to escape the summer heat." Some words started to get started, and it was much easier to say them again. She spent these days: "After Your Highness left, All the elderly people in this mansion have disappeared. It is said that they followed His Highness to Yuhua Mountain to serve him. The inner courtyard is also sealed, and no one inside is allowed to go out and move around. I took a look secretly, and there are guards guarding the door. These days The people I met were people I had never met before.”
She also noticed that there was something wrong with the twists and turns here, but with her knowledge and perspective here, she really couldn't figure out what happened in this house.
But Meng Suige was a man who had seen the world. When he heard Zhang Di's words, he felt his heart skip a beat when he thought of his own experience.
If there was something wrong with the people around King Han, then there was something wrong with King Han himself.
He secretly said something bad.
The King of Han was at Yuhua Mountain at this time. No matter who had the problem, Yuhua Mountain would not be stable.
He had to get out of here, and he had to get out as soon as possible.
He quickly took a few bites of food, and ate suddenly after being hungry for several days. He didn't dare to eat too much, so he only ate half full before putting down his bamboo chopsticks, leaning against the corner, closing his eyes and thinking.
After resting for a while, Meng Suigu didn't feel so weak and weak after eating the first day, and he knew that he had made the right bet.
He moved his eyes to the medicine bottle.
I'm afraid Ruanjin Powder was mixed into the medicine for oral administration.
Zhang Di saw Meng Suigai staring at the medicine bottle, so she quickly took it over and whispered: "Mr. Meng, do you want some medicine?"
Meng Suige struggled for a moment, nodded, and watched Zhang Di pour out two pills, one red and one white, from two porcelain bottles.
His injury was too serious and it would be difficult to heal without medicine.
It was impossible for him to escape with such serious injuries.
two
Choosing the lesser harm, he finally gritted his teeth and swallowed the two pills.
Sure enough, as he expected, the two pills entered his throat, which was like swallowing a ball of ice and a ball of fire. The ice and fire blended in the throat, as if he had swallowed a knife blade, and the pain from cutting his throat was sharp and bone-piercing.
In just a moment, the stinging pain of ice and fire quickly swept through his limbs, making his bones and flesh sore and weak, and he was unable to do simple things like move his fingers.
His face darkened.
These bad guys outside who come from nowhere are really very thoughtful!
What are these people planning?
What happened to His Highness the King of Han?
Thinking of this, Meng Suige became even more impatient to leave.
"Ring the golden bell." He closed his eyes slightly and said casually.
Zhang Di felt that Meng Suige's calling tone was very unpleasant. She thought that the two of them were grasshoppers on the same rope now, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
At least Meng Suigai doesn't think so.
He wanted to use her strength to escape, but he didn't want to take her with him.
This cannot be done!
If she couldn't escape, she would have to drag him to death!
Zhang Di sat firmly on the quilt, motionless, and raised her eyelids: "Master Meng, are you trying to escape? Then we have to talk carefully."
Meng Suige suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Di slowly for a moment.
He thought that this country girl had never seen the world and was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so it was best to be coaxed.
But now it seems that this is just what he thought.
If he wants to escape from here, he will have to deal with this girl carefully.
He asked half-seriously: "I wonder what Miss Zhang wants to say?"
Zhang Di smiled harmlessly: "Simple, you take me and run away together."
Meng Sui frowned when he heard this.
Simple? This is not simple at all!
"Miss Zhang knows that I am seriously injured. It is difficult to escape by myself. It is really beyond my power to take another person with me." Meng Sui's words were tactful, but his meaning could not be more determined.
Zhang Di understood, but she wasn't angry. She still smiled and said, "If you don't take me with you, you can go out on the front foot, and I will tell you the news on the back!"
After saying that, she stared at Meng Suigai proudly.
That look seemed to be provocative.
"..." Meng Sui's forehead twitched sharply. He held it in for a long time before he managed to say: "I can take you to escape with me, but whether you can escape or not depends on whether you have the chance to survive." .”
Zhang Di raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's natural. Whether you live or die is my destiny. If the fate is really bad, I will never resent Master Meng."
