The Favoured Medical Princess: 374 Death Escape
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Han Qixia calmed down and said without any fluctuation in her voice: "My mother-in-law found a good match for my second brother at the end of February. She is the eldest daughter of Ningguo Gongfu."
The Duke of Xianning was one of the important ministers who followed the late emperor to conquer the world of Dayu. When General Dayu came to power, Duke Xianning died to save the late emperor. The late emperor was grateful for his loyalty and granted Xiang's family the hereditary and irreplaceable title of Duke, with no title reduction for three generations. Although Ning Guo Gongfu does not hold any actual positions now, he is a second-ranking family in the royal capital. How could the eldest daughter of such a prestigious mansion marry the prince of Qi?
Although the two families were indeed well-matched, everyone in the royal family knew that the prince of Qi was a romantic and unattractive person. They haven't even gotten married yet, and almost all the maids in the courtyard are already involved. They are still making trouble in the capital all day long based on their status, hanging out in brothels, and even the dandy boys in the capital are treating him. Disdainful.
Could it be...
Nangong Yue had a guess and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that the condition of Duke Ning's mansion is that you go and get married?"
Han Qixia twitched the corners of her lips and said with difficulty, "Yes."
Nangong Yue couldn’t figure it out, “What good will this do to Duke Ning’s government?”
Han Qixia shook her head, "I don't know. ... I was very worried when I first learned the news, worried that my mother-in-law would agree to this condition for my second brother. The more my mother-in-law hesitated, the more worried I became Worry..."
Recalling the sad look on Han Qixia's face when Fu Yunyan and Hairpin Li were present, Nangong Yue only blamed herself for not asking further at that time.
"Later... just a few days after you left, my mother-in-law called me over and said that my marriage had been decided for me to marry Kui Lang." Thinking of the situation that day, Han Qixia's heart A moment of sadness.
At that time, the mother-in-law said that Duke Ningguo had found a good job for her second brother, and she should make sacrifices for his future.
Why?
Shouldn’t you make your own future? The eldest brother also fought **** the battlefield and fought for his military success and future.
Why should she sacrifice his future when it is the second brother's turn? Sacrifice her marriage, her happiness, her whole life?
Han Qixia's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was choked as she continued: "I don't accept it. I went to beg my father, but my father never paid attention to such 'trivial matters'... My eldest brother and sister-in-law went to the palace to help me beg. The emperor's uncle and the emperor's aunt didn't expect..." she said with a wry smile, "but the mother-in-law seemed to be afraid that if the marriage could not be accomplished, she would harm her second brother, so she directly announced that I would marry Kui Lang. ... After the commotion, there was no room for change in this matter. I, I simply gave in..."
Nangong Yue’s hands unconsciously clenched.
How could there be such a mother in the world who would completely ignore her daughter and even force her to die for the sake of her son?
Nangong Yue held her hand. The back of her hand was cold and still trembling slightly.
"...that day, my sister-in-law happened to come to see me and rescued me." Han Qixia raised her head, and the red mark on her neck that had not completely faded, she could see Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei. Shocking, "But I really don't want to live anymore..."
Nangong Yue can understand that Han Qixia’s death wish is not just because she doesn’t want to marry Kui Lang, but because of Princess Qi. It was because of her biological mother's attitude of abandoning her and sacrificing her without hesitation.
"My sister-in-law knew that I had given up my will to die, so she asked me to abandon my identity, escape from Prince Qi's Mansion, and come here to join you."
Han Qixia recalled that day, although she was rescued by her sister-in-law, she no longer had any thoughts of survival and only wanted to die. For three days and three nights, she didn't drink even a drop of water, but her mother-in-law thought she was joking and never came over to take a look. It was the eldest sister-in-law who accompanied her in all her clothes... In the end, the eldest sister-in-law said that since she was not even afraid of death, she should just treat herself as dead.
From then on, she gave up her identity as the legitimate daughter of Prince Qi's palace, and gave up her wealth and wealth.
From then on, there was no such person as Han Qixia in this world.
From then on, she was just an ordinary girl in Dayu.
She agreed.
So, with the help of her elder brother and sister-in-law, she pretended to commit suicide by throwing herself into a lake on the way to offer incense. The eldest brother sent a reliable person to **** her all the way here.
Han Qixia smiled and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Yue'er, I have nowhere to go, so I can only come here to find you to take me in."
Nangong Yue felt sour in her heart.
At this moment, she didn't know what to say, and any comfort was feeble at the moment.
Han Qixia was desperate to die, so maybe Jiang Yixi's proposal was the best choice.
But...
In this world, it is not easy for women. What's more, Han Qixia abandoned her surname, abandoned her family, and abandoned everything. This would mean that she would have nothing and no protection from now on. Nangong Yue could almost imagine how desperate Han Qixia was before she made such a choice.
Xiao Fei took out the handkerchief and gently wiped the tears on her cheeks.
At this moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet, revealing an unbearable depression.
Exactly two hours later, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei came out of the penthouse and gently closed the door without waking Han Qixia, who was sleeping deeply.
Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe were a little impatient waiting.
Nangong Yue simply told them what happened, and the two of them were stunned. Who would have thought that Princess Qi would push her biological daughter into the fire pit with her own hands!
Fu Yunhe said angrily: "Why did Uncle Qi let the princess do so much! No, I have to find my grandmother..."
"Wait." Nangong Yue stopped her and sighed slightly, "If you want to ask Grandma Yongyang to make the decision, then there's no need... Sister Xia is right, there is no such person as Han Qixia in this world anymore. This result It’s impossible to change.”
Han Qixia faked her death and escaped. If people found out that she was actually still alive and lost her reputation, she would probably be the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life.
Fu Yunhe also thought of this and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Let Sister Xia go to Southern Xinjiang with us. We have to settle down first." Nangong Yue said in a bad mood, "I didn't expect that something like this would happen after we left for just a few days... Actually, I don’t understand why Duke Ningguo’s mansion must ask Sister Xia to go and get married..."
……
At this moment, the second prince Han Lingguan who was far away in the royal capital was also in a bad mood.
Wearing a purple round-neck brocade robe embroidered with a five-clawed dragon pattern, he sat behind the rosewood desk with a gloomy expression, recalling everything that had happened in the past few days, and everything was not going well.
In other words, he has not had a smooth life since that incident a year ago.
First came the Zhennan Palace. He could not establish a friendship with Xiao Yi, nor could he get married to the Zhennan Palace!
According to his original plan, he could use the marriage with Baiyue to put pressure on the Zhennan Palace, forcing them to settle Xiao Fei's marriage as soon as possible, and then wait until the Princess Yongyang Palace went to propose Wen Yu's marriage. , it will be smoother.
Han Lingguan felt a pity every time he thought about it. He only blamed himself for not seeing the right time. He originally thought that if the Zhennan Palace was more anxious, the marriage proposal would be smoother, but he didn't expect... his father would be there. Let Xiao Yi and the others return to southern Xinjiang at this time.
If Wen Yu had been allowed to propose marriage earlier, the marriage would have been decided by now.
What a mistake!
I was so negligent!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after Han Lingguan said "come in," a middle-aged man with a goatee walked into the study. After saluting him, he said: "Your Highness, please rest assured. Duke Ning's Mansion I have just accepted the invitation from the Crown Prince of Qi, so there will be no mistakes in this marriage."
Han Lingguan took a breath and said with a self-deprecating smile: "This is the first good news I have heard in half a month... Mr. Guan, please sit down."
The visitor's surname is Guan Lu Yao, and he is one of Han Lingguan's staff.
Guan Luyao was very talented, and Han Lingguan spent a lot of effort to recruit him, so he attached great importance to him and treated him with courtesy.
"Actually, Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much." Guan Luyao stroked his beard and said, "The eldest daughter of Duke Ning Guo's mansion is the daughter of Duke Ning Guo's original wife. Although she is known as the eldest daughter in the mansion, But he is not favored. For Ning Guo Duke's house, using a girl to show loyalty to His Highness is not a pleasure? What's more... Prince Qi's house is also one of the best in this royal capital, so it is not an insult to Xiang Guo. Big girl."
"That's good." Han Lingguan said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Guan. It would be great to be able to marry into Prince Qi's Mansion... Although Prince Qi is not very impressive, there is a cousin of Huaijun in Prince Qi's Mansion. , this man is brave and good at fighting, brave and resourceful, and he has made great military achievements in the battle with Chang Di. I think in a few years, my father will let him take charge of the army alone. With Huaijun's cousin here, Prince Qi's Mansion It will definitely be the first prince's palace in the royal capital in the future. It's a pity that cousin Xia..." At this point, Han Lingguan sighed slightly, "I didn't expect that my cousin who usually speaks softly would actually throw herself into the lake. Committing suicide is also due to my negligence..."
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong." Guan Luyao shook his head and said, "What happened to Miss Han is not your Highness's fault. As a daughter of the clan, Miss Han is worshiped by thousands of people and enjoys fine clothes and food. She should do it for Dayu sacrificed himself. But Miss Han selfishly ended her life just because she didn't want to marry Kui Lang, which was really inappropriate. And since Princess Qi has agreed to let Miss Han get married, she should have a good relationship with her. Talking about the stakes, but letting her just throw herself into the lake, she is also responsible for taking care of the disadvantages. It is really a waste of His Highness's efforts."
After hearing what he said, Han Lingguan felt much more comfortable. He nodded slightly and said, "...Mr. Guan is right." He stopped worrying about Han Qixia's death, paused, and said, "According to what I see, my father will definitely support Kui Lang to seize the throne this time. Therefore, we need to choose another suitable candidate for the marriage with Baiyue. We must take this opportunity to hold Baiyue in our hands." ."
Guan Luyao responded, and then said, "One more thing, Your Highness, just now Wen Yu went to my place and said that he has benefited a lot from following An Yihou recently. He has already gone to beg the eldest princess Yongyang. , Princess Yongyang will come forward to talk to An Yihou about becoming a disciple. When does Your Highness think it is feasible?"
Han Lingguan said flatly: "The sooner the better." He originally wanted to wait until Wen Yu showed his talents in front of An Yihou and make An Yihou look at him differently before proposing to become his disciple. However, after Lu Lu lost the opportunity, Han Lingguan felt that We can’t wait any longer, “It’s better to decide on the title of master and apprentice as soon as possible.”
An Yihou Guan said, "This man is a man of intellect that is unmatched by ghosts and gods. If I can get his support, I will definitely be able to take a step closer to becoming a great person!"
Han Lingguan tapped his fingers on the desk and murmured: "... Speaking of which, An Yihou hasn't gotten married yet. He has already passed the period of filial piety, so it's time to think about the marriage..."
"Your Highness." The voice of his personal chamberlain came from outside the study, saying, "His Royal Highness the Princess sent someone to tell you that she is waiting for you at the second door."
"That's right." Han Lingguan remembered, "Today Prince Qi's Mansion is helping cousin Xia, so I and Qing Yuli must go there. Mr. Guan, let's discuss it after I come back."
Guan Luyao stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is kind."
"After all, she is my cousin, and she left early."
Han Lingguan sighed and went out.
The second prince and his wife arrived at Prince Qi’s Mansion together and offered incense to Han Qixia’s spiritual tablet.
Han Qixia's rituals were all handled by Jiang Yixi alone. Although there was help from the maid and mother-in-law, Jiang Yixi was already exhausted by the time the rituals were over.
Han Huaijun came specially to wait for her, and the two of them walked hand in hand to the courtyard where they lived.
It was quiet along the way, and seeing no one around, Jiang Yixi suddenly said, "Sister Xia should be catching up with Sister Yue and the others soon..." Although Han Huaijun arranged for a proper escort, Sister Xia is still young after all. , and this is a girl's family, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot along the way, Jiang Yixi can't help but feel a little worried.
Han Huaijun said comfortingly, "Brother, there are many of them, so they won't go too fast along the way. If Sister Xia is traveling day and night, I guess we should catch up in the next few days. Don't worry..."
"That's good." Jiang Yixi breathed a sigh of relief, "Youyue and the others are taking care of me, and Sister Xia will live a good life..."
Despite saying this, Jiang Yixi still had helplessness on her face. She and Han Qixia had known each other since childhood, and they were both envied noblewomen in the royal capital. But who would have thought that one day the majestic eldest daughter of King Qi would need to fake her death and escape, hiding her name from now on!
From now on, Han Qixia will be a homeless person.
In the future, they don’t know if they will see each other again.
"Xi'er," Han Huaijun put his arms around Jiang Yixi's shoulders and said softly, "Sister Xia will definitely have a safe life! ... It doesn't matter if she can leave Prince Qi's Mansion, there is nothing to miss in such a messy place. ”
A cold light flashed in Han Huaijun's eyes, and he couldn't help but think of his mother who was demoted as a concubine. No matter whether the King of Qi or the Princess of Qi, they are nothing but the same thing! It's not necessarily a bad thing that Han Qixia can escape from this dragon's pond and tiger's den.
"Xie'er, one day we will also leave this Prince Qi's Mansion..."
Jiang Yixi looked at him and nodded lightly.
If I leave Prince Qi's Mansion, there may be a day when I can meet Sister Xia.
Just as Han Huaijun and Jiang Yixi were thinking about Han Qixia, at this moment, Han Qixia, who was sitting in the carriage, was also thinking about them.
Han Qixia half-closed her eyes and just sat there, exuding a melancholy atmosphere unconsciously.
Xiao Fei looked at her, with a hint of worry in her cold eyes, and said, "Sister Xia, do you like talking with your hands? How about we talk with each other?"
Han Qixia came back to her senses, looked at Xiao Fei, and said with a forced smile: "Sister Fei, if you don't mind my mediocre chess skills. It's just that playing chess on the carriage is a little inconvenient..."
While she was speaking, Xiao Fei had already taken out a small chessboard and two boxes of small chess pieces from a large box on the side. This attracted Han Qixia's attention, and she picked up a chess piece and looked at it. "Could this be equipped with a magnet?"
Xiao Fei nodded, her eyes sparkling, and said: "My sister-in-law gave this to me."
Xiao Fei used to think that since playing chess, just like playing the piano requires a good piano, you should also use the best torre wood chessboard and the best cloud chess pieces to play chess. That is respect for chess, but this carriage How can it be possible to play chess well with an ordinary chessboard when the game is bumpy and ups and downs? At this time, the iron chessboard and these magnet-embedded chess pieces that she would never have noticed in the past became extremely precious.
Looking at Xiao Fei's expectant eyes, Han Qixia couldn't help but nodded.
With these small chess pieces, you cannot use the usual way of playing chess, so the gestures of the two girls are a little awkward and a little cautious. You have a piece and I have a piece. The carriage is extremely quiet, and the two girls are thinking thoughtfully. Mesmerized...
Xiao Fei doesn’t know how to comfort people. All she can do is play chess with Han Qixia every day, review the game, play chess, review the game...
A smile gradually appeared on Han Qixia's face.
The two became familiar without knowing it. According to Xiao Fei, Han Qixia was her chess friend.
In early April, Xiao Yi and his entourage arrived at the last station of their trip. This area was already in southern Xinjiang. They were only half a day's journey from Luoyue City.
After having dinner together, Xiao Yi said to the tired people: "We can go to Luoyue City tomorrow. Everyone should rest early today."
After such a long journey, people and horses are already exhausted. Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe are martial arts students after all, so they are in good spirits. However, the three girls, Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei and Han Qixia, are just a meal. During dinner, I had already yawned several times.
Everyone stood up and planned to go back to their rooms, when they heard Lin Jingchen say: "Ayi, Yue'er, I'd better go separate ways with you tomorrow morning."
One sentence attracted surprised looks from everyone. Xiao Yi was about to speak when Nangong Yue jumped in front of him and said with a smile: "Ayi, grandpa never likes those red tapes. Let's just let grandpa do it." Nangong Yue said with a smile: Yue knows Lin Jingchen best, but in the last life, even if he took him on a trip to collect medicine, he would only bring one boy and one maid at most. Xiao Yi is the prince of Zhennan, so when he returns to Luoyue City, he will definitely disturb a lot of people and disturb his grandfather. Pure.
"The one who knows me is Yue'er." Lin Jingchen looked at Nangong Yue with emotion and sighed.
Obviously, he and his granddaughter have not been together for a long time, but the two of them seem to be particularly compatible. Even though they have been with their daughter Lin Ruoyan for many years, they are not as compatible as he and Nangong Yue. This is probably what is called fate.
Seeing that Nangong Yue had said this, Xiao Yi no longer forced Lin Jingchen and responded: "Grandpa, let Zhou Dacheng come with you. I have a small house with two entrances in the southwest corner of Luoyue City. It is slightly You should be able to live in it after some cleaning and repairs. Although the house is not very good, there are several mountains three miles southwest of Luoyue City. It is said that there are many medicinal materials and rare birds on the mountains. There are also many medicinal farmers who go there to collect medicines on weekdays, so there are many medicinal farmers nearby. There is a small market that has formed spontaneously, and some people will go there to buy some medicinal herbs and game from the mountains with medicine farmers. If my grandfather is interested, he can go there and take a walk."
Xiao Yi’s arrangement couldn’t be more appropriate, and Lin Jingchen agreed with a smile.
"Grandpa," Han Qixia turned to look at Lin Jingchen. These days, she and Xiao Fei followed Nangong Yue in calling Lin Jingchen grandpa, "I...can I go with you?"
Her identity is a little embarrassing now, and after finally getting out of one palace, she doesn't want to live in another palace.
She wants to live a completely different life than before.
Lin Jingchen was startled, then smiled and said, "I got a good deal. During my trip to southern Xinjiang, I picked up such a big granddaughter."
The implication is that I agree.
Han Qixia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on her face.
Nangong Yue took her hand and said gently: "Sister Xia, after Ayi and I have settled down, I will go see you."
Han Qixia nodded slightly, wanting to tell everyone not to worry about her.
Now that she has taken this step, she will definitely live a better life than before.
We will arrive at Luoyue City tomorrow...
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his obsidian eyes became deeper and deeper in the dim candlelight, shining with a bewitching light.
After several years of dormancy, this time, he finally returned to southern Xinjiang openly and with his head held high!
Looking at his shining handsome face, Nangong Yue took his hand with a smile.
