C2446 Princess Qi's Decision
"Do you feel better?" After circulating the inner energy in Xiao Huan's body once and returning to her abdomen, Huang Feng retracted his hand.
"Much better. Thank you." Princess Qi said sincerely.
She did feel much better. Not only did the uncomfortable feeling in her abdomen disappear, but her tired and tired body also instantly felt much more relaxed.
However, this also made Princess Qi even more curious about Huang Feng's identity. It was not like there was no palace maid who was good at massaging in the Imperial Palace. Princess Qi had also enjoyed massaging eunuchs before. But... No matter who it was, the effect of the massage was not as good as Huang Feng's. Huang Feng just placed his hand on his abdomen and gently massaged it a few times. He actually felt very comfortable all over his body. This feeling was too wonderful.
However, Princess Qi was not familiar with Huang Feng after all, so it was not appropriate for her to ask too many questions about him.
Huang Feng looked at Princess Qi and Xiao Huan. Other than the slight redness on their faces, there was nothing unusual about them. He felt relieved.
"That's good." Huang Feng said, "By the way, what do you plan to do? Go back to the Imperial Palace, or continue to go to the Fengjue Country and become the messenger of your marriage?"
Huang Feng's words stunned Princess Qi. In her heart, she definitely did not want to go to the Fengjue Country. Otherwise, she would not have brought Xiao Huan before. She had deliberately avoided those people from the Imperial Guards and the Fengjue Country. During this period of time, but every day, there would be people coming to the mountain to look for them. However... Princess Qi did not even show her face. She had also changed her clothes back then. Those who escaped from them were all subconscious actions. However, it reflected the thoughts in Princess Qi's heart.
At that time, when Princess Qi brought Xiao Huan to avoid those people from the Imperial Guards and Fengjue Country, she herself did not know what to do next. It was just that she instinctively did not want to stay with them.
After that, she got sick and her condition quickly worsened. She felt that her body was about to die and she did not want to go with those people from the Fengjue Country. She also met up with those soldiers from the Imperial Guards. In her mind, perhaps death would be a good outcome. If that was the case... She wouldn't have to feel troubled, nor would she have to be sad anymore.
However, the situation was different now. Her illness had been basically cured by Huang Feng. Her life was no longer in danger. All that was left was to rest. There was no longer any major problem. Then, she had to think about what to do next. Should she continue to head to the Fengjue Country, become the Imperial Concubine, or return to the Imperial Palace? Or should she just wander around, making the outside world think that she was already dead?
Princess Qi's greatest wish was naturally to return to the Imperial Palace and continue to be her princess. To continue living that kind of carefree life from before. But... Princess Qi herself knew that it was impossible. Those days had already followed the Great Lu Dynasty's defeat on the battlefield. After she, Royal Brother, married her to the Fengjue Country, she was gone and never returned.
Her return to the Imperial Palace now would cause her, Royal Brother, to feel troubled. She, Royal Brother, might not blame her, and might even accept her. However, the officials in the court would not welcome her. Back then, the reason why she was married to the Fengjue Country was due to the 'contributions' of the officials.
Furthermore, once the Fengjue Country found out that she had returned to the palace of the Great Lu Dynasty... If she did not go to the Fengjue Country, she would definitely be angry. They would even feel that everything that happened along the way was something that the Great Lu Dynasty had taught itself earlier. It was all planned by them behind the scenes. At that time, they would definitely blame the Great Lu Dynasty. Perhaps, a great battle would erupt once again.
As for bringing Xiao Huan out to wander, Princess Qi could only think about it. The two of them grew up in the Imperial Palace and did not have any ability to make a living. Furthermore, the environment in the outside world was not good. Rebellion Army was everywhere, and it was very dangerous. The two of them were weak girls. It would be very difficult to survive in such a society.
It was even more likely that they would be at a dead end. In the end, they still had to find someone to marry, and someone who had no choice but to marry... It was also unlikely that it was Princess Qi herself who liked it. If it was like this... It would be better to marry someone to the Fengjue Country. They would also be married to people she did not like. If she married into the Fengjue Country, she would at least be able to get a few years of balance for the Great Lu Dynasty. In fact, he would even be able to obtain some useful information. She was secretly sending news back to the country to help Brother Emperor.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Princess Qi discovered in despair: Although she had escaped from the family sending team, she had not been killed by the Rebellion Soldier. However, there were not many ways out for her. It could even be said that... There was only one way out, and she still had to go to the Fengjue Country.
However, at this moment, even if she wanted to go to the Fengjue Country, it wouldn't be that easy. There was still some distance to go from here to the Great Lu Dynasty's pass. When she and Xiao Huan thought of getting there, the difficulty wouldn't be small.
Furthermore, even if she reached the pass, other than the pass, it would still be very difficult. They wouldn't be able to reach the Fengjue Country immediately. They still had a long way to go. Besides the pass, there wasn't only a country like the Fengjue Country. There were other countries there too. There were also other armies. Those armies might not be as friendly to the Fengjue Country and the Great Lu Dynasty.
Furthermore, Princess Qi had heard that there were many bandits outside the pass. Once they fell into their hands, they would definitely live a life worse than death.
When she thought of this, Princess Qi felt a little hopeless. If she had known earlier, she would have said those words. At that time, there was no need for her to deliberately avoid the search of the people in the escort team. At that time, she... She only instinctively wanted to stay away from those people. The current her... It was ironic that she had to think of ways to find those people.
"What, haven't you thought about it yet?" Huang Feng saw Princess Qi not saying anything for a long time and thought that she was hesitating.
However, Huang Feng could understand if Princess Qi hesitated. After all, Princess Qi did not like marrying into the Fengjue Country. However, for the sake of the country, she had to go. This made her feel very uncomfortable.
"No." Princess Qi shook her head with a gloomy expression. "I have already thought about it. I still want to go to the Fengjue Country. Where else can I go other than there?"
"Princess." Xiao Huan could understand Princess Qi's current mood.
Huang Feng could also see that Princess Qi was not willing to accept it, but there was nothing he could do. However, this was Princess Qi's matter after all. He was not very familiar with Princess Qi, so he naturally could not say anything.
And although Huang Feng had never seen this kind of marriage before, however, he had heard of it many times in the history of Huaxia. There were many such incidents that happened. Usually, it was the weak side of the country. In order to seek peace, it could only be the women of the royal family. Marrying to an enemy country was a way to disgrace the country. And a married woman would usually not have any happiness to speak of. Because they came with a purpose, it was also very good for them to be able to stay in an enemy country. Receiving the respect of their husband.
In the ancient times, people attached great importance to the plot of their homeland. As a result, there were many who were willing to stay far away from their homeland. There were also quite a few girls who married far away. In the end, they died of depression, and usually, they were still young.
Therefore, Huang Feng still felt some sympathy for the princess of the Great Lu Dynasty in front of him. However, he was not clear about the specifics of the Fengjue Country and the Great Lu Dynasty. It wouldn't be good for him to act rashly. Besides, even if he saved the princess... To the Great Lu Dynasty, it would definitely not be a good thing to cause the Fengjue Country to take revenge. At that time, the princess might blame him in her heart instead of thanking him.
Therefore, it was better for Huang Feng to be a passerby for the time being.
"Although you have decided to go to the Fengjue Country, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. My suggestion is that you continue to rest here for a few more days and wait for your body to fully recover before continuing on your journey." Huang Feng said.2
Although Huang Feng had helped Princess Qi recover from the fever and also prepared food for her, Princess Qi's condition this time was quite serious, causing her body to be very weak. This was not something that could be completely recovered in a short period of time. She still needed time to rest.
Princess Qi heard it, but shook her head and said, "No need. These few days, actually, there have been people coming up the mountain to find us. It was just that at that time, I thought that I was about to die and did not want to die in front of those hateful people. Plus, I also did not think of what I should do next. So, I never showed up. Now, I have thought it through. I have to find them as soon as possible. I believe they shouldn't be too far from here. As long as I can meet up with them, my body will be fine."
The people in the escort team had been coming up the mountain to find them for the past few days. This means that they shouldn't be very far from here. Furthermore, Princess Qi also understood that if she could not meet up with them, she and Xiao Huan alone wanted to reach the Fengjue Country safely. That would be very difficult.
Huang Feng thought for a while and felt that it made sense. If these two found a large group, with their status, they would definitely be taken care of. It was better than resting in the cave.
Furthermore, Huang Feng was also preparing to leave the mountain tomorrow to take a look at the outside world. He wanted to find a way to earn money, but he saw Princess Qi and Xiao Huan wolfing down the food. It seemed that cooking food was a good idea.
The night became darker and Princess Qi and Xiao Huan had already snuggled together and fell asleep. In the past few days, the two of them had fallen asleep because of Princess Qi's illness. They had never rested well and now, Princess Qi's illness had finally recovered. They could rest at ease now.
Furthermore, with Huang Feng in this cave, their hearts seemed to have calmed down even more. Even Xiao Huan, who had been wary of Huang Feng previously, could now sleep in peace.
