Compared with the empress and concubines in front of him, Li Qitian is more envious of Qin Yining's true love for Pang Xiao.
Ji Zeyu continued to dig with people.
Qin Yining couldn't help either, so he turned around and instructed Ji Yun, "Take someone down the mountain and go back to the house, and go get some more clothes, and order someone to prepare hot water, which the lord will need when he comes out." Glancing at the bloodstains on Li Qitian's body that had turned black in the night, the pungent bloody smell could be smelled from far away, Qin Yining added: "The sage also needs to change and wash. To avoid getting cold from the cold."
Ji Yun replied that she turned around and called two guards to follow her down the mountain.
After listening to Qin Yining's instructions, Li Qitian smiled and said, "Prince Zhongshun is still attentive."
Qin Yining bowed his knees and said with a smile, "The sage will rest for a while, and then you can change and wash up later."
At this time, Bingtang brought rough clay bowls and pots, as well as some sorghum flour cakes. He poured a bowl of warm water and presented it to Li Qitian with both hands.
Li Qitian took it and drank it without caring about his image.
Seeing that he was in a hurry to drink water, Qin Yining instructed Bingtang to continue pouring water into Li Qitian, and said, "Sir, please use some bread."
At this time, Li Qitian was actually hungry, with his chest on his back, and he didn't care about getting his hands dirty, so he took a bite of the cake.
He didn't know how long he had been trapped in the underground palace.
When the explosion happened, he, Li Guanwen and Pang Xiao fled to the only underground palace without fire.
However, the underground palace collapsed very badly. Pang Xiao ran fast and was lucky, but he and Li Guanwen were not so lucky and were buried by falling slates and stones.
Fortunately, the stone formed a triangular space, and Li Guanwen was loyal to the Lord and blocked him for a while. He was not killed on the spot, but Li Guanwen was seriously injured at the time.
But being buried in a pile of stones, without water or food, if you do something wrong, you will die.
Li Qitian began to move stones carefully, trying to dig out a way to survive.
Li Guanwen is dead.
Li Qitian can only rely on himself.
He didn't know how long he stayed in that small space. He was so thirsty that he even drank his own urine. He was so hungry that he even drank Li Guanwen's blood and ate Li Guanwen's flesh.
The two-legged lamb tasted really bad. Especially raw.
But Li Qitian didn't want to die, he didn't want to give up.
Just after he ate an arm, he finally found his way out. In case he couldn't find food, he took Li Guanwen's other arm to make rations...
He walked and walked, the smell of blood on his body had made him numb. It's pitch-dark, and I don't know where to go.
Then he smelled barbecue.
Walking along the charred scent of the roasted fat, he saw the fire, and also saw Pang Xiao sitting in front of the fire while eating tribute and roasting rat meat.
At that time, his face was covered in Li Guanwen's blood, and he was holding one of Li Guanwen's arms in his hand.
Li Qitian remembered the look in Pang Xiao's eyes when he looked at him at that time, and he wished he could turn back time. The side he didn't want people to see the most was still seen by Pang Xiao.
The imperial mausoleum is guarded all year round, and tributes are often replaced. The noodles used to make the tribute snacks are all soaked in oil, and they have been stored in the underground palace for a long time. Although there is a strange and bitter taste that the oil has turned bad, in the end those tributes are pasta and can still be eaten.
And Pang Xiao found those tributes earlier than he did.
Li Qitian followed Pang Xiao to find the spring in the underground palace, but he was afraid that Pang Xiao would kill him, and he had to wait for Pang Xiao to give him food. This kind of memory, Li Qitian can't wait to erase it.
For a moment just now, he wished he could tell everyone that there was no one else in the underground palace. Let Pang Xiao be buried in it.
But after thinking about it, Qin Yining is such a stubborn person. I am afraid that if he wants to see people die and see corpses, he will definitely continue to dig. It is good to dig up the corpse. If Pang Xiao is rescued and publicize his behavior, others will definitely criticize him. he.
Li Qitian couldn't let his character be flawed, so he told Ji Zeyu and others that Pang Xiao was still below.
The aroma of the sorghum flour cake in his mouth diluted the bloody taste. Li Qitian drank warm water and ate two of them before he had a bottom.
At this time, Qin Yining had already reached the entrance of the excavated hole.
"Your Highness? Can you hear me? I'm Ji Lan!" Ji Zeyu shouted inside while digging.
After all, it was the entrance to the cave where Li Qitian had been rescued just now. Although there were soil and rocks that collapsed and blocked the entrance again, it was still much easier than when the excavation started.
"I can hear it." Pang Xiao's voice came from the entrance of the cave, and his voice was very dull across the layers of mud.
But to Qin Yining, this is simply the sound of nature!
With tears in his eyes, Qin Yining clenched his teeth so he didn't jump up excitedly.
At this time, it is safest for Pang Xiao to just wait quietly and not to cause trouble for Ji Zeyu and the others.
After digging for another stick of incense, the hole finally opened. Ji Zeyu grabbed Pang Xiao's hand and should have dragged the man out of the hole. Then the hole through which only one person could pass collapsed again.
"Alan!" Pang Xiao hugged Ji Zeyu and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Thank you!"
Ji Zeyu smiled and showed his neat white teeth, ignoring that Pang Xiao was covered in mud, patted his back vigorously, shook his head and said, "Is there anyone else inside? How are you?" Ji Zeyu looked down and saw the robe on Pang Xiao's body. Although it was dirty, there was no blood. Obviously, Pang Xiao's life was easier than Li Qitian.
Pang Xiao said: "There are no living people below. Where is the saint?"
Ji Zeyu then stepped aside and said, "The Holy One is here."
However, at the moment when Ji Zeyu stepped aside, Pang Xiao saw his wife with a belly and a mess.
"Sister Yi?" Pang Xiao couldn't believe his eyes.
This is Chongshan, some distance from the capital, and Qin Yining is pregnant again. And they were found at random times, which only meant that Qin Yining had been guarding the mountain, waiting for him to come out.
Pang Xiao didn't even care to salute Li Qitian at this moment, he walked around Ji Zeyu and walked quickly to Qin Yining, stretched out his arms, and hugged her slowly.
"Sister Yi, I've made you worry."
Qin Yining buried her face on Pang Xiao's shoulder, and tears rolled down her face. Pang Xiao's body was covered in mud, but she didn't care at all, she just held herself tightly in Pang Xiao's arms and whispered again and again: " God bless you. You are all right, you are all right."
"Yeah, I'm fine! Sister Yi, don't get excited, you have to think about the children." He touched Qin Yining's cheek with a big hand, leaving a few mud marks on her face, "You look thin. So much, how long have I been in the underground palace? Have you never eaten well?"
"It's been twenty days." Qin Yining's tears flushed two white tears from her dirty little face, "I thought you had..."
Pang Xiao himself did not know that he had survived in the underground palace for twenty days.
Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining and rubbed her forehead with her chin: "Okay, don't cry, am I all right? Carefully tell the child to hear a joke on you."
