C2439 Another Crisis
Princess Qi and Xiao Huan had not been living well in the past few days. Princess Qi was sick. There was no way to treat her. Furthermore, the food they ate... Some of it was from the place where the motorcade was located and some were from the wild fruits on the mountain. However, there were not many wild fruits on the mountain during this season. The two of them only managed to find some after much effort. Now Princess Qi was sick again. Xiao Huan did not dare to leave her alone. She ran too far away to search for it. There was even less food to eat.
Princess Qi was unable to treat the illness. Furthermore, her nutrition could not keep up, so her illness naturally became more serious.
"Little... Xiao Huan." Princess Qi struggled to say.
"Princess, I am here. I am here. What do you have to say?" Xiao Huan quickly stopped crying and said to Princess Qi.
"Xiao Huan, you... You better... quickly leave this place. ... If you don't leave now, you might not be able to walk out. " Princess Qi said.
" Princess, let me help you up. " Xiao Huan said.
"No, no need!" Princess Qi said, "With my current condition, I can no longer leave... You take me with you. It will only... only drag you down. You can leave by yourself. Find a place where no one knows... and live on. Don't ever return to the Palace again."
Princess Qi understood in her heart that her current situation was very bad. There was simply no way for her to walk on her own. When she wanted to leave,... She could only rely on Xiao Huan. However, Xiao Huan was only a weak girl. She also did not rest well these few days, nor did she eat well. Her body was also very weak. It was difficult for her to leave alone. If she brought her along again, she would definitely not be able to leave this place.
Princess Qi also did not wish for Xiao Huan to return to the Imperial Palace. What kind of place was that? Princess Qi was very clear that without her protection, Xiao Huan's life would be very tough. Moreover, she was after all her personal palace maid. If something happened to her, she would definitely be punished. Returning to the Imperial Palace would only lead to death.
"I don't want to. I don't want to leave the princess. If I want to leave, I want to leave together. If I want to die, I want to die together with you." Xiao Huan started crying again. Furthermore, her crying became even more serious than before. Because she could see that Princess Qi's situation was even worse. There was even the possibility of death at any time. This was not the modern day. Without such advanced medical technology, with a cold and a fever, that is very normal, especially for those with poor resistance... That was even more so.
And now, Princess Qi's condition was incomparably terrible. More importantly, Princess Qi seemed to have the intention of giving up. This way, her condition would only worsen.
"Don't... Don't be silly." Princess Qi laughed instead, "When we left the Imperial Palace, actually... Actually, my heart was already dead... Now that I die here, even if I am alive, there is nothing that I cannot accept. I will also... marry into the Fengjue Country. Actually... That was no different from dying, wasn't it? Cough cough... ... Cough cough."
Princess Qi's condition was very bad, and her body was very weak. After saying a few words, she started coughing, and her face turned slightly red. However, it was not the healthy red, but the sickly red.
" Princess... Wuwu... Don't say anymore. Rest well, I will not leave. " Xiao Huan cried.
Princess Qi looked at Xiao Huan and smiled helplessly. It seemed that Xiao Huan did not want to leave her alone. However, since she was about to die, Xiao Huan would naturally leave after her death.
With this thought, Princess Qi did not try to persuade Xiao Huan anymore. Instead, she hoped that she would die soon and could not delay Xiao Huan any longer.
Princess Qi narrowed her eyes and looked up. She seemed to recall her happy life in the Imperial Palace. To many people, the Imperial Palace courtyard was a very dangerous place. If there was a slight mistake, her life might be in danger. But... This was not the case for Princess Qi.
Princess Qi's parents had doted on her since she was young. Later on... After her brother inherited the throne, he doted on her. He was even more doting than before. Everyone in the palace knew... Princess Qi was the person that the Emperor cared about the most. His Majesty even doted on her more than his own children.
Because of this, Princess Qi's previous life in the Imperial Palace had always been very blissful. Occasionally, she would feel tired and could even sneak out of the Palace. In short, her previous life had been very happy.
However, such a life had completely changed after the messenger of the Fengjue Country came to the capital.
The disadvantage of the frontline war had made the Great Lu Dynasty face the Fengjue Country's messenger. Furthermore, the years of war had caused the people of the Great Lu Dynasty to be filled with resentment. Furthermore, there were also many Rebellion Army that had appeared. ... The Great Lu Dynasty needed to stop fighting with the Fengjue Country in order to solve the internal problem of the dynasty. However, an imperial court that did not have much strength on the battlefield... It was not easy to stop the war, and the price they would have to pay would be huge.
And he would become one of the costs.
Princess Qi did not hate her own Brother Emperor. She knew that her brother loved her dearly. If it wasn't for the fact that she had no other choice, her brother wouldn't have made such a decision. And she should also grow up. It was time for her brother. It was time to think about her own family. She had to make some sacrifices.
Therefore, even though she didn't like Lu Yizha in her heart and even hated him, Princess Qi still accepted this marriage and willingly married to the Fengjue Country.
However, the moment she left the Imperial Palace, Princess Qi understood. Her heart was already dead, and all that was left was a shell. And now, her shell was also going to die. She didn't care too much about it, even if she was alive... She was like a walking corpse, but she was actually dead. There wasn't much difference.
"Royal Brother, in my next life, I will still be your sister. I only hope that none of us will be born in the Emperor's home again." Princess Qi thought quietly in her heart.
"Princess, Princess, are you alright? Say something. Don't scare me." Xiao Huan saw that Princess Qi's breath became weaker and seemed to have reached the end of her life. She immediately panicked.
"Wuwuwu... Princess, don't die. Don't leave Xiao Huan alone. Xiao Huan is afraid." Xiao Huan cried and said.
But this time, Princess Qi could not get up to comfort Xiao Huan. Although she also heard Xiao Huan's voice and also wanted to move. However, she did not have any strength left in her body. The time when she was talking to Xiao Huan was like the last moment before she died.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the small cave. At the beginning, Xiao Huan did not notice that she was still immersed in the pain and sorrow that Princess Qi might have to die. However, when she laid on Princess Qi's body and cried, she saw the figure at the cave entrance, the figure that suddenly appeared. It gave Xiao Huan a scare.
"Who are you? Don't come over... Otherwise, if not, I'll kill you. " Xiao Huan quickly sat up and picked up a large knife from the side. She had previously brought it into the cave to protect herself.1
Xiao Huan pointed the knife at the person and warned him. However... Although she had a knife in her hand, her expression was still very flustered. Furthermore, her hands that were holding the knife were still trembling non-stop. It was obvious that she was very afraid in her heart at this moment.
Xiao Huan still remembered what Princess Qi had said before. On this mountain, other than the two of them, no one else was worth believing. Even those from the Imperial Guards and the people who were in the wedding procession. They had left a long time ago. The last ones to leave were the soldiers of the Rebellion Army. Most of them had left in the past few days, but not all of them had left.
Therefore, the first thing Xiao Huan thought of when she saw someone appear was... The other party should be from the Rebellion Soldier. Besides the Rebellion Soldier, there was no one else on the mountain. As long as they were discovered by the Rebellion Soldier, she and Princess Qi would be in danger.
Xiao Huan's worry had come true.
When the figure saw Xiao Huan and the blade in her hand, not only was he not afraid, he even laughed out loud.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to find two women in the cave after getting lost in the mountain. This is a reward from the heavens." The figure said and walked in.
At this time, Xiao Huan also saw the other party's face clearly. His entire body was in tatters and there were still quite a number of dried blood stains on his body. The blood stains on his face were also mixed with mud and coupled with that wretched smile. It made the other party look incomparably terrifying.
"Don't come over, if you come any closer, I'll kill you" Xiao Huan saw that the other party was constantly approaching and continued to threaten. However, anyone could hear the trembling and fear in her voice.
"Oh, she is still a fierce girl." That person was not afraid at all.
In fact, the Rebellion Soldier had been standing at the entrance of the cave for a while. After observing the situation inside the cave, he found that there were only two women in the cave. Only then did he feel at ease and enter the cave boldly.
The Rebellion Soldier was the same as Princess Qi. Both of them got lost in the mountain. They were trapped in the mountain and did not go out. The previous battle had also injured him. Therefore, he was very cautious now. He was also afraid of meeting the people of the Imperial Court. Thus, he observed for a while at the cave entrance. Then... After confirming that there was no danger, he entered.
As for Princess Qi and Xiao Huan, he did not take them to heart at all. They were just two women, what was there to be afraid of, even if there was one of them. With a knife in his hand, that person was not worried at all. He was confident that he could subdue the other party, even if he did not have a weapon in his hand. It was the same.
Xiao Huan was so scared that her face turned pale. She knew that her intimidation did not have any effect. It was very likely that she and Princess Qi would be in danger.
