Chapter 219 Help
Rong Que had obviously suffered a fierce battle before bringing the dragon grass back from Kyoto. The moment he fell to the ground, Wang Yu only had time to hear him say, "Go!"
Go fast.
The people in Kyoto
At that time, Su Qingqing was kidnapped by King Yu. In order to save her, Rong Que asked Ming and Ming Lu to lead the army with He Chao to chase from the direction of Huludao, in an attempt to intercept the large army.
Those who stayed behind pursued along the same route.
Later, Wang Yu found Su Qingqing's trace in the forest, but because the main force was not nearby, they could not resist the Kyoto side with their limited strength. As a last resort, in order not to alert the enemy, Rong Que could only let the rest of the people chase the main force, and he brought Wang Yu Jixiang to Zhending.
He originally thought that it would be difficult to reveal his whereabouts with so few people around, but he returned to Kyoto twice, especially the second time, when he went straight to the Imperial Palace Hospital to look for the dragon grass, which directly exposed his whereabouts.
He was able to get out of Kyoto alive only because someone secretly rescued him.
He didn't know who saved him, but he knew that the pursuers were coming soon.
Rong Que fainted with injuries all over his body. Wang Yu only took a moment to figure out what Rong Que meant and immediately asked the monk, "How do we use this dragon grass?"
The monk also understood.
"The best way is to boil half and apply the other half to the injured area. However, if conditions are limited, you can directly mash it and apply the juice paste to the wound."
The man brought by Rong Que said, "If there is a small medicine furnace, we can bring it to the carriage to boil it, but I was in a hurry and didn't have time to take it. Do you have one?"
The three people beside him shook their heads, and the monk clenched his fist, "It was there originally, but I accidentally broke it yesterday."
Wang Yu was so anxious that he was fuming. "It's too late. Get in the car first."
The Zhending County Magistrate prepared two carriages. "Do we really have to leave? Zhending County is so big. If you hide, they won't be able to find you for a while. At least boil the medicine and take it."
Wang Yu refused.
"We must let them know that we have left, otherwise, the entire Zhending will be massacred."
In order to save Su Qingqing, Rong Que massacred nearly two-thirds of the troops in Rong'an Marquis ' Mansion and Xishan Camp. The Queen Mother hated him so much that if she knew he was hiding here, how could she vent her anger without massacring the entire Zhending County?
After carrying Su Qingqing and Rong Que onto the carriage respectively, Wang Yu left with the doctor and Jixiang. Just as they were about to leave, the monk jumped onto the carriage in one swift step.
"I'm leaving with you."
"We don't know whether we will live or die if we leave. You..."
The monk interrupted Wang Yu and turned to climb into the carriage, "Life and death, my life has long been the general's!"
Since he insisted on following, Wang Yu drove away without further ado.
As soon as they left, the magistrate of Zhending County immediately made backup arrangements. He must not let the empress dowager know that he had ever accommodated these people.
Fortunately, Rong Que and his companions came back last night at night, with wind and snow. There was no one outside, let alone a ghost. And they left at this moment before dawn.
After completing the necessary preparations, the county magistrate, who had never believed in ghosts or gods, went to Qingquan Temple with trepidation .
Burn incense and pray.
In the carriage.
As there was no suitable small medicine stove, the monk could only use the stones he picked up on the road and simply washed with snow water to crush the dragon grass. This herb was precious, so he didn't dare to use it all at once. He only took a part of it and crushed it into a fine and dense medicinal paste to apply to Su Qingqing.
The wounds on Rong Que's body began to fester, he had a high fever and lay in the bumpy carriage, talking nonsense.
The accompanying doctor was extremely anxious but could only watch him have a fever and was helpless as he had no medicine.
At that time, I was in a hurry to leave Zhending, and I only had time to bring the little medicine stored in the county government. However, this kind of medicine needs to be decocted and taken, and it is useless unless it is boiled into juice.
Fortunately, Rong Que's injuries looked scary, but they were not life-threatening for the time being, and the poison from Su Qingqing was basically under control due to the effect of the dragon grass.
The heavy snow was still falling, and two cars with six people were speeding towards Datong, Shanxi.
At that time, Su Qingqing rescued Su Jinghe and hid there. At least there was someone to support her there.
He thought the pursuers would be here soon, but after walking for about half a day, he still didn't see any soldiers. Suspicious, Wang Yu ventured into a small county town he passed by and hastily bought a lot of medicinal materials, kiln coal, quilts and food .
With these things, the two doctors finally breathed a sigh of relief and started to get busy.
In the palace.
The queen's face turned livid and she smashed the cup in her hand. "You don't want to ascend the throne? Do you know what you are saying?"
She glared at the second prince furiously.
The second prince stood there with a tired look on his face. "I don't want to ascend the throne, I don't want to inherit the throne, I don't want to rule the world. If you still dream of being the queen mother, you can find another child, just pick one up from anywhere, and announce to the world that this is your father's posthumous child or a dragon seed that was lost among the people. Isn't it all possible?
Anyway, all you want is a puppet."
Bang!
A crisp slap hit the second prince's face, and the queen was almost furious, "Who are you talking to!"
The second prince looked back at the queen, not taking the slap seriously at all, "I'm talking to the future queen mother. If you insist on letting me ascend the throne, then wait for your body to be collected!"
After saying this, the second prince turned around and left.
The queen was so angry that she vomited blood. "You evil creature, why did I do all this? Why did your maternal family sacrifice so much? Why did your sister even die? Wasn't it just to let you ascend the throne? Now you say you won't inherit the throne, how can you be worthy of those who died!"
The second prince paused as he was leaving and looked back at the queen with red eyes.
"What you've been after is not me, but the throne! Why are you being so hypocritical? Are you trying to use morality to blackmail someone?" As he spoke, he suddenly took two steps towards the queen. "Why did things between Wanru and I turn out the way they did? I've thought about every moment of this carefully these days. Don't let me commit matricide!"
The queen stumbled backwards.
The second prince flicked his robe and turned to leave.
As soon as he left, the queen was distraught and stood there in a daze for a long time, then suddenly covered her face and cried bitterly.
The entire palace was filled with a lingering smell of blood. Countless palace maids and surviving soldiers were busy cleaning up the corpses. Fortunately, a heavy snow covered the corpses and bloodstains, and it was not enough to cause a plague for the time being.
In the Queen Mother's bedroom, the heating had been turned on, making it as warm as spring. The sandalwood and fruity aroma covered up the stinky smell outside.
She was still the noble and graceful queen mother, dressed in silk and satin, half leaning against a soft pillow, and said to the Duke of Zhenguo who was sitting below her: "Our large army will arrive tomorrow, and then we won't have to worry anymore."
The Duke of Zhenguo was frowning; several days in prison had made him look much older.
"But I don't know if we can catch up with the prince. If we can't catch him within two days, it will be difficult to catch him in the future."
The Queen Mother was calm and composed. "Don't worry, there are only a few of them. The main force has gone to chase Prince Yu. Su Qingqing is injured, and the prince is injured. How fast can they run? They will definitely be able to..."
Before the Queen Mother could finish her words, her personal nanny rushed in and said, "My Queen, she's back."
The men who were hunting the prince are back.
He was seriously injured in the shoulder, and when he entered the hall to report, his shoulder was still bleeding.
He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am useless."
