Chapter 286 Reaching the Southwest
Huo Qihan had no choice but to stand up straight with his hands down, his eyes were determined: "Please also ask the emperor to favor the grass people's wife."

King Jing gritted his teeth when he heard this, and took a mouthful of the wives of the grassroots. This could be regarded as a kind of provocation to him, and he couldn't help saying bluntly: "I will consider your request, but at present, the most important thing for you is to pray for God's blessing."

Leaving the imperial study room, Huo Qihan couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, there were already two guards waiting for him at the door.

"Mr. Huo, this way please."

He walked out with two guards, walked through a long corridor, walked around a yard, and soon came to an open space, and saw a carriage parked upright at a glance.

The carriage is very ordinary, but the interior is very luxuriously decorated, even the cushions are made of silk, which feels extremely smooth to the touch.

As soon as he sat on it, the carriage bumped along the pipeline and drove towards the gate of the palace.

The curtain of the car was closed, and soon heard the sound of many uniform horseshoes around. Huo Qihan lifted the curtain and took a look, and immediately understood that these were the three thousand guards arranged by King Jing, who followed him to the southwest blockade city If necessary, force may be used.

A group of people mighty and majestic is very spectacular. From a distance, it looks like ants moving in a rainy day, neatly lined up and moving forward slowly.

Huo Qihan sighed, he knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs after all, he just had to let Lin Xiaorou wait for a while, and when he came back, the two of them would be able to leave the capital and return home.

Some parting is not for goodbye, but for a longer stay together.

Huo Qihan felt sad, closed his eyes and leaned on the soft cushion, only hoping that Lin Xiaorou would not hate him for leaving without saying goodbye.

In the clan's mansion, Lin Xiaorou waited from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, she hugged her knees like a sculpture.

It was as quiet as if it didn't exist, and I couldn't even feel my breathing.

It's been a day and night, and Huo Qihan still hasn't come back.

After waiting for a long time, a jailer kicked the cell door a few times and shouted, "Are you dead!"

Lin Xiaorou slowly raised her head, her eye circles were a little red and swollen, her lips were chapped and chapped.

"Where's Huo Qihan? When will you be back?"

The jailer ignored her, and muttered to himself: "It's good if you don't die."

Then turned and left again.

However, Lin Xiaorou rushed to the cell door like crazy and yelled hysterically at the jailer's back: "Where is Huo Qihan, what about others, where did you take him?"

Roaring and crying, tears came down.

"Bastard, you bastard, my mother cursed you for giving birth to a prince without an ass hole!"

Lin Xiaorou cursed into the air, that's right, she was cursing King Jing, the present sage.

The jailer also heard it, and immediately turned around and walked over slowly, kicking Lin Xiaorou to the ground from the air: "A female prisoner dares to slander the Holy Majesty, be careful of your head."

"Bah, you are the emperor's dog, what right do you have to scold me?"

"Little girl, your mouth is still quite stubborn. Believe it or not, I will chop you off right now."

There was a sneer at the corner of Lin Xiaorou's mouth, and the jailer who looked at her was feeling cold all over.

"If you have the ability, kill me, and when I become a ghost, I will go to your dog master every day."

"Crazy woman." The jailer murmured again, and she turned around to leave with a blank look. Suddenly, she froze and stared dumbfounded at the front, and soon saw him kneeling down, trembling all over: "I greet you, my servant." Your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty."

Lin Xiaorou sat against the wall, closed her eyes, her fingers creaked, if she had a knife in her hand, she would stab King Jing without hesitation.

"Drag it down and cut off his head."

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life." The trembling voice of the jailer begging for mercy filled the entire clan mansion, and soon gradually disappeared.

"I heard you don't eat or drink water."

A familiar voice sounded outside the cell door, Lin Xiaorou was in a daze, as if she had auditory hallucinations in her ears.

He raised his head, moved his chapped lips, smiled slightly, and said, "Qi Han, you're back."

King Jing was a little annoyed, and he got angry when he saw her like that.

"You can't live without a man?"

The almost sarcastic voice and tone made Lin Xiaorou wake up a little bit. She stared at it, and was immediately disappointed, and soon became angry again. She got up and rushed to the prison door again. Throw it away.

"Where's Qi Han? Where's Qi Han? Where did he go!"

King Jing smiled slightly, the straw falling on him did not make him feel embarrassed at all, he looked down, and stretched out his hand to gently dust it off.

"I'll tell you when you eat."

The cell door opened, and a court lady walked in holding a food box. When she opened it, porcelain bowls, a bowl of white rice, a plate of green vegetables and a few pieces of braised pork came out one by one.

"Will you tell me if I eat it?"

"Yes." King Jing's eyes were innocent, and Lin Xiaorou believed it. She picked up the rice bowl with trembling hands, and when she smelled the fragrance of rice, she felt her belly empty. .

Lin Xiaorou ate a bowl of rice in a few gulps, her cheeks were bulging, she looked up at King Jing, and said vaguely, "Can you tell me now?"

King Jing squinted his eyes and smiled, seeing the maid packed up the food box and came out, he said calmly: "No, I won't tell you unless you still eat well tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Lin Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, and a wave of hatred welled up in her heart: "Bastard, I'm going to kill you."

King Jing glanced at her, turned around and left without the slightest nostalgia.

Walking out of the clan's mansion, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, but looking back at the darkness and dampness of the clan's mansion, I always feel that heaven and hell are so close.

After receiving the secret report, the team will arrive in the southwest in about four days. He has plenty of time to find out how persistent Lin Xiaorou's love for Huo Qihan is.

Lin Xiaorou started to go on a hunger strike again, this time she was serious, she felt the energy in her body was draining little by little, but the desire to see Huo Qihan became stronger and stronger.

On the fifth day, she fell into a coma, lying motionless in the cell, her eyes staring blankly at the roof, and she remembered the happy moments with Huo Qihan in the last days of Jiangcheng in her mind, and a trace of happiness bloomed quietly at the corner of her mouth. Smile, because she was too weak, hungry, and severely dehydrated, she had hallucinations. She saw Huo Quhan waving to her, and said to her: "Xiaorou, I'm back."

Lin Xiaorou slowly closed her eyes, a tear slipped from the corner of her eyes.

When King Jing heard the news that Lin Xiaorou had fainted, his brows twitched slightly, and he picked up the memorial on the table again: "Bring her to Chengning Palace, Xuan Tai Physician."

"Yes!"

Although he looked at the memorial carefully, he didn't read any of the few words on it.

King Jing slammed the memorial down on the table, got up upset, and finally stood at the window watching the autumn leaves flying outside the window.

When the imperial physician arrived, Lin Xiaorou was already sleeping on the soft big bed in Chengning Palace. Chengning Palace is a relatively remote small palace, but it is the closest to the clan mansion.

Her body was fine, but because of the exhaustion caused by the hunger strike and deprivation of water, the imperial physician ordered millet porridge to be cooked, and added a few flavors of qi-tonifying Chinese medicine to make a soup to moisten the lungs.

A palace lady blew the boiled medicinal soup to cool down, and was just about to feed the medicine when King Jing came. The maid saw him hastily put down the bowl, and kowtowed to the ground: "I kowtow to the emperor."

"You go down." King Jing sent the maid away, and the maid closed the door wisely.

He picked up the medicine bowl, and the dark brown medicine juice exuded a strong smell.

King Jing sat on the edge of the bed, slowly supported Lin Xiaorou's head with one hand, and then leaned her smaller half in his arms.

"If you don't eat or drink water, maybe you won't be here when he comes back in the end, is it worth it?"

He talked to himself, and carefully fed the soup and medicine into Lin Xiaorou's mouth spoon by spoon. Lin Xiaorou's mouth couldn't be opened, so he opened it with one hand.

This action is very tiring, so after feeding a bowl of medicine, my body is almost covered in thin sweat.

After feeding the medicine, he gently wiped off the medicine stains on Lin Xiaorou's lips with his hands, and then slowly laid her flat and covered her with a quilt.

King Jing stood up and looked at her haggard face with calm eyes.

After being taken care of for several days, Lin Xiaorou finally woke up, but her body was still very weak. She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the strange curtains, the strange room, and the strange maid beside her.

"Where's Huo Qihan?"

She opened her mouth to speak, her voice was very hoarse. Seeing that she was very happy to wake up, the maid said excitedly: "Master, you have finally woken up. This servant will tell the emperor."

emperor!It's the emperor again!Lin Xiaorou was furious instantly, her frail and decayed body reflected those angry eyes, making her look extraordinarily frightening.

The palace maid was startled, she hesitated and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Go, invite your emperor here."

"Yes, servant girl will go right away."

The little maid walked away slowly, but came back soon, looked at her timidly and said: "Master, the emperor said that he still has important matters to deal with and has no time to come over, and also said that if you dare to go on a hunger strike again, master, you will die." Never want to know about Mr. Huo's news."

Lin Xiaorou's heart shrank suddenly, King Jing was too cruel, he actually pinched her sore spot like this, closed his eyes, a boundless hatred surged in his heart.

When Huo Qihan arrived in the southwest, he immediately saw Mr. Li waiting anxiously at the gate of the city. This Mr. Li was the one who wrote the letter to the emperor before. Now the plague has broken out in the whole southwest, causing countless casualties. There are many tombs in the suburbs, most of which are new tombs. , white copper coins flying, unspeakable misery.

And the city is not much better, wailing everywhere, and the stench is suffocating.

Master Li also looked tired, and he looked as if he had aged several years in just a few days. When he saw the convoy approaching from a distance, he immediately cheered up and greeted him immediately.

Huo Qihan's carriage stopped not far from the city gate, Lord Li stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Li Fu is overjoyed to welcome colleagues from the capital."

Huo Qihan opened the curtain and walked down. Master Li was taken aback when he saw him. How could such a man with ethereal, handsome and outstanding temperament appear in the epidemic place?Such a man should be pampered, go boating and taste wine, but soon he was surprised again, he had never heard of any new officials in the imperial court.
