Chapter 25: Protecting Himself
King Leihu and the stepmother also got up.
Last night, Hou's mother waited for Hou Meiyu very late, and finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
"Where's Meiyu?" she asked anxiously as soon as she came up.
Lei Xiao replied calmly: "Sorry, I took care of me for one night and rested in there."
"Ah?" the stepmother said in surprise: "You? Together?"
Lei Xiao's face turned red for some reason and remained silent.
The stepmother lowered her head in despair, and King Lei Hu coughed lightly.
"It's not unusual for this doctor to take care of patients," he said.
Lei Xiao's face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he said in a low voice: "Dad, let's have breakfast. We will set off when she wakes up. It's not advisable to stay for a long time."
The stepmother looked at Lei Xiao's tent and sighed.
After this sleep, Suri didn't wake up until noon. Staying up late made her extremely tired.
Where is General Lei? Is he awake?
Su Rui opened the curtain and walked out of the tent, and her stepmother hurriedly came over.
"Why do you look so bad? Did you not sleep well?"
Su Rui smiled warmly, "It's okay, Mom."
"Come, eat something quickly, don't starve." The stepmother pulled her to sit down.
Su Rui looked around and found that King Lei Hu and Lei Xiao were missing, and asked suspiciously: "Mom, where are they?"
"I'm going to interrogate last night's killer." The stepmother said displeased: "If you care about others, you should care about yourself first. Why did you suddenly fall asleep last night? Men and women are not close to each other. Although the country of imperial rule belongs to the queen, women's
…”
Seeing that she kept nagging, Su Rui was not unhappy. He took her arm and said coquettishly: "I know, mother, she suddenly fell asleep when she was too tired. You see, General Lei saved me three times. This life-saving
How can I not repay the kindness?"
"There's no need to repay you like this."
The stepmother muttered something that made Su Rui almost choke.
Does this supplement mean that I don’t need to sleep with him in return? Why is the emphasis off? I was just thinking about who would protect me if he died.
King Lei Hu and Lei Xiao came back with somewhat solemn expressions.
After seeing Hou Meiyu, King Lei Hu said with a smile: "Are you awake? Then let's set off."
In order to avoid danger, Su Rui still stayed in the same carriage with Lei Xiao.
The atmosphere was silent, and Lei Xiao closed his eyes to rest.
Su Rui wanted to ask if he was asking something, but seeing him closing his eyes and concentrating, it was hard to disturb him.
After staying up late, the whole person gets tired very easily. Suri felt sleepy just sitting there, and fell asleep unconsciously while leaning on the carriage.
When he woke up, he found that he was lying on the bed, and he suddenly became more awake.
Just when she was wondering, the stepmother opened the door lightly and came in.
"Mom, where is this?"
"This is an inn. You were too tired and fell asleep in the carriage." The stepmother called the waiter and asked him to cook some dishes and deliver them.
Suri noticed that she seemed a little unhappy, so she got out of bed and walked over to sit next to her.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Is Meiyu making you unhappy?"
"Yes." The stepmother faced her and said seriously: "Why are you so unguarded that you fell asleep leaning against General Lei? Do you fall in love with him?"
Su Rui looked at her in surprise, "Mom, where did you go? Besides, did I sleep against him? I obviously leaned against the wooden plank of the carriage."
Seeing her serious expression, the stepmother knew what was going on. It was probably General Lei who put her on his shoulder.
"Forget it, it's okay. You have to be careful in the future. He will inherit the position of King Thunder Protector in the future. You are the legitimate daughter of the eldest princess, so you should be more careful in the future."
Hou Meiyu rarely obtains this information from her own memory, because she lives in a remote place and has never heard anyone mention it.
Even if you are curious, you should not ask at this sensitive moment.
Suri smiled and nodded.
"You have to be careful after entering the palace. The palace is not as complicated as Banpo Village." The stepmother taught her step by step: "What you see on the surface may not be the truth. People's hearts are unpredictable. Even brothers and sisters will hold a knife behind their backs when facing interests.
, As for your mother’s affairs, I will tell you one by one when we get to the palace.”
She understands this. If she doesn't understand, all her years will be in vain.
Suri smiled and nodded.
These days, apart from chatting, eating, drinking, sleeping and traveling, Su Rui also followed the stepmother's instructions and tried to avoid contact with Lei Xiao.
After traveling for three days and three nights, everyone saw the tension and fatigue lifted off the shoulders of the city gate of the capital, and everyone became in high spirits with smiles on their faces.
There was a group of people, and the people retreated to both sides.
Su Rui only heard the noise outside, and her heart sank like a weight losing its balance and falling into the sea.
She was not ordinary resistant to the palace. Not only was she restrained, but she also had to wonder whether poison was poisoned even when she was eating. She also had intrigues and intrigues to ensure the safety of the palace.
Will she live like this for the rest of her life? She doesn't want it.
Outside the crowd, three women and two men looked at the group.
It was Feng Xiaoyue and Song Ziyan from Banpo Village. Feng Xiaoyue was followed by two maids, and Song Ziyan was followed by a boy. The clothes he wore were several times better than those in Banpo Village before. If Su Rui lifted the curtain and saw
Extremely surprised.
"Brother Ziyan, let's go."
Ever since Meiyu disappeared and Brother Ziyan came, she has been feeling depressed. It was hard to convince him that he didn't want to waste his time looking at people when he went out.
Suddenly there was an exclamation from behind. Feng Xiaoyue and Song Ziyan looked back curiously and saw a man lying in the cage at the end of the team. If he hadn't suddenly moved, he wouldn't have known he was still alive. His messy hair was so thin that only
bone.
The worst part was at the end of the queue, dragging a man with tattered clothes, white lips, and a dislocated jaw that opened his mouth. A closer look made people scream, his tongue had been cut, and his wrists had been cut.
The rope didn't even penetrate the flesh.
Some people with weak hearts were so frightened that they turned their backs and protected the young children from looking at them.
The leader stared in front of him with extreme resentment, this devil!
In order to prevent him from dying, he was forcibly fed. He crushed things into pieces and mixed them with water and then fed them to him. This was to prevent him from dying and torture him.
After the operation failed, the people in the dark were of course paying close attention to them and quickly evacuated when they saw them entering Beijing.
A scream came from Feng Mansion's study: "What! He was caught before he was killed!"
Mr. Feng was so anxious that he was pacing back and forth sweating profusely.
"Why are you so anxious? Those two people pose no threat." The middle-aged man sitting on the Grand Master's chair tapped his finger on the table and continued: "It would be better to come back. Wouldn't it be possible to keep a close eye on them?"
The corners of his mouth raised in a sneer.
"Brother Lin is right, why are you so flustered?"
The person who spoke was Song Ziyan's mother, Mrs. Chen. She was dressed like a lady, and her grace and beauty were completely different from the Ms. Chen in Banpo Village.
"Just do your duty well and don't panic about others, lest you reveal your flaws."
With that said, the man called Brother Lin had already used Qinggong and left Feng Mansion.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
The maid behind her quickly reached out to help her.
…
"Should we enter the palace directly?" Su Rui asked doubtfully, "Do we need to be in such a hurry?"
"Well, it's not too late, anything will happen as time passes." Lei Xiao replied with his eyes closed.
Su Rui nodded gently and remained silent. It was not her turn to say no.
Other unrelated people have returned to Lei Mansion.
The carriage drove for a long distance before it stopped, and I got out of the carriage anxiously.
They had entered the east gate of the palace. The tall walls and intricately carved buildings gave them a majestic and solemn feeling that was suffocating.
Suri couldn't help but hold her stepmother's arm.
