Ah Jing gently patted Rouyao's shoulder, and kept patting, "Don't say anything, I'll tell you what's next."
He exchanged his water cup for Rouyao's. His cup was relatively warm because the lid was not opened. "Drink some water first. Mine is still warm."
Rouyao took it and said gratefully: "Thank you!"
Ah Jing let her go and looked at Prince Luo. "Then I took the county lady to hide. The pursuers probably knew who the county lady and I were, so they chased us relentlessly. We had been hiding in a relatively remote village. In addition to the burns on the county lady's legs, she was also stabbed in the abdomen. In order to hide from others, the county lady dressed up as a man. Because she kept running, her injuries were not properly treated, so her injuries worsened. In the end, she was caught up by the pursuers. I was no match for four people with my two fists, and I had exhausted my physical strength after running around for days. When I was about to die under the opponent's sword, Mr.'s people appeared and saved us, and forced... to take us to Nanjun. This is the whole story."
Ajing's words were simple and quick, and his explanation was brief but very clear.
After hearing this, Prince Luo did not speak for a long time, but his chest heaved violently, as if he was trying hard to suppress his rage.
"Your Highness doesn't believe it?" Rouyao asked.
Prince Luo raised his head, took a deep breath, and looked at Rouyao. "I believe it. Before you came, I also believed it. You were the people who were present at the time and the victims. After listening to you, I feel... indescribably uncomfortable and indescribably angry."
Rouyao bit her lip and asked a question that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, "Your Majesty, how many people escaped from Wolf Tail Mountain?"
They were being hunted all the way, and had no idea how the world was changing. After arriving in Nanjun, they were guarded and could not go out to get any news. Moreover, there was some distance between Kyoto and Nanjun, so the news probably would not reach them so quickly.
However, Prince Luo should know this.
During this period, she has been worried. She doesn't know how Zi'an, Liuliu Lingli and the others are doing. She also doesn't know what kind of chaos the Northern Desert is in now, and whether the victims are all safe.
These things weighed on her mind every day, and she couldn't concentrate on recuperating, resulting in her leg injury never healing.
Tianjizi answered on his behalf: "About 600 people escaped. Don't worry, the people from Da Zhou are all very good. The Princess Regent and Miss Sun from the Chen family have already returned to Da Zhou."
"Really?" Rouyao felt relieved immediately, and a look of surprise appeared on her pale face. "Did they all return to Da Zhou safely?"
But then she became sad again, "Thousands of people died, those were... all innocent people, how cruel were those in power?"
Prince Luo stood up and saluted to Rouyao. "I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Beimo and apologize to you on behalf of Chu Jing. Don't worry, I will send someone to escort you back to Da Zhou safely."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Rouyao said.
"Sir, please settle the county lady. Once her injuries are healed, arrange for people to send them back." Prince Luo ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Tianjizi breathed a sigh of relief. This was the most appropriate arrangement. When the two were rescued before, the prince was very prejudiced against Qin Zhou and the regent from the Great Zhou. Therefore, he dared not introduce them to each other, and naturally did not dare to send them away.
It’s great to be like this now.
Ah Jing asked, "Sir, what is the current situation in Kyoto? How is the general?"
Tianjizi said: "Wait until you settle down, and I will tell you slowly."
He personally took the two of them to the Suhe Garden next to the Lanxiang Garden and gave instructions for all matters. Then he straightened his expression and went to the Lanxiang Garden.
Princess An had already woken up, and Tianjizi told her, "The Princess of Rouyao from the Great Zhou and General Ajing, the vanguard general of General Qin, are next door. If the princess feels better, ask them to come and see her."
"Rouyao?" Princess An quickly stood up and asked in surprise, "She's still alive?"
"Yes, my people saved them." Tianjizi said.
"Great, great, I'll go see you right away." Having said that, she was about to throw back the quilt and get out of bed.
"Princess!" Tianjizi quickly pressed her shoulders, but then suddenly retracted his hand, "Princess, you are still injured and cannot move around casually. County Master Rouyao is also injured. Let them rest first and call them later."
"Is Rouyao okay?" Princess An asked nervously when she heard that Rouyao was still injured.
"It's a burn. The knife wound has healed."
When Princess An heard that Rouyao was also burned, she couldn't help but sigh, "We in Beimo owe the Great Zhou a lot."
"Yes!" Tianjizi wanted to call someone in to help her lie down, but Princess An lay down by herself.
Tianjizi suddenly smiled and said, "Princess, you are really tolerant of pain."
He leaned over and reached out, trying to pull the quilt for Princess An.
When Princess An heard what he said, she suddenly raised her head. When their heads bumped together, she cried out "Ouch!" and then said bitterly, "It hurts so much!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Tianjizi apologized quickly and stretched out his hand to rub her forehead. "Is it serious?"
Princess An burst out laughing. "Didn't you say I can tolerate pain? I'm not afraid of knife wounds, so why would I be afraid of a bump on your wooden head?"
Tianjizi's face flushed, he unnaturally withdrew his hand, and smiled, "Princess, you are being naughty."
Princess An looked at him and saw a blush on his fair face. She didn't expect him to be a person who blushes easily. She couldn't help but laugh, "Sir, you are famous all over the world, talented, and witty, but you are so sensitive and shy. I am surprised. But, did you take a look at my body yesterday..."
As she spoke, she kept staring at him, her expression gradually becoming serious, "When I am well again, I will remove your two eyeballs myself."
"Ah?" Tianjizi thought of yesterday's scene, and his cheeks and ears were burning, and his head was also red. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
He naturally knew that Princess An was joking, but to be honest, he did look at her, and he looked at her several times.
So lovely!
Princess An's mood improved. Seeing that a famous scholar was at a loss because of her teasing, she felt bad and said with a smile: "Okay, I was in a good mood and played a joke on you. Please don't mind it, sir."
Tianjizi looked at her, his face still burning, "No, the princess can joke, which proves that many unhappy things have been removed from the princess' heart. I... am happy... No, I am happy for the princess."
Princess An looked at his face with distinct features and the burning fire in his eyes, and suddenly remembered that he whispered in her ear when she was injured, "I will do everything for you."
Suddenly, her face turned red as if it was burning. She closed her eyes and said slowly, "Then I will sleep for a while, sir, please do as you please!"
