Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

When Murong Jiu fell, Hongyi and Chuntao supported her in time.

Jun Yuyan got off his horse and picked her up.

"Is the Queen's Wife okay?"

The fourth prince hurried over and asked worriedly.

Chuntao cried: "Princess is caused by excessive sadness..."

Without saying a word, Jun Yuyan carried Murong Jiu into the carriage on the road.

The fourth prince was still talking to General Fu and the others outside, nothing more than words of comfort, but he had brought many people here according to the emperor's order.

Murong Jiu quietly opened her eyes and leaned into Jun Yuyan's arms.

She pretended to faint so that the Fourth Prince could relax their vigilance and make them feel that Yixiantian's toxicity had a great influence on her.

But sadness is also real.

As long as she thinks of her elder brother's gentle expression when he looked at her, her heart feels as if it is being gnawed by thousands of ants, and it hurts.

The eldest brother is a reserved person, he is a true modest gentleman, and he is also brave and resourceful. His eyes are always gentle towards himself, and he will use his big hands to gently caress her head, treating her like a child who needs pampering.

He would always worry about her. He would come to the palace to see her when he had time, and would have people bring her things when he had no time.

Murong Jiu didn't believe that such a big brother would leave him.

Again, no news is the best news, she comforted herself in her heart.

Jun Yuyan held her in his arms and patted her back gently. Even without saying anything, Murong Jiu could feel his comfort and his heartache.

"Go to sleep for a while, maybe there will be good news when you wake up."

he said in a low voice.

It was already afternoon when we arrived, and after another night of searching, the sky was already showing a fish-white color.

Murong Jiu knew that for the sake of her family, she had to not care about her body.

The eldest brother was ambushed just because he was looking for medicine for himself.

In Jun Yuyan's arms, Murong Jiu fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up, Jun Yuyan was no longer around, and Chuntao was waiting for her in the carriage.

She opened her eyes and asked, "Have you found big brother?"

Chuntao pursed her lips, shook her head, and immediately said: "Princess, don't worry, everyone is still looking, and we will definitely find the eldest son!"

Murong Jiu tightened her grip on the thin blanket covering her body and heard the sound of raindrops hitting the carport. Her face turned pale. When she lifted it up, she didn't know when it started to rain heavily.

"How long has it been raining? How long have I been asleep?"

She asked as she wanted to get off the carriage, but neither Chuntao nor Hongyi could stop her.

She ran towards the river. The river below was even more turbulent, the water was turbulent, the water surface was rising, and it had been raining heavily for at least two hours!
Murong Jiu couldn't help but feel the chill rising in his heart.

The rain above my head kept falling, hitting my face painfully.

She turned around and grabbed Hong Yi's hand: "The water in the river is turbid. It's dangerous downstream. Go and notify them quickly and ask them to evacuate and don't come near the river again!"

Hongyi left immediately.

Murong Jiu also wanted Chang Chonghai to go too.

But Chang Chonghai's duty is to protect her, and he is unwilling to leave no matter what.

"Princess, please get on the carriage and take shelter from the rain. You are not in good health and can't be exposed to the rain anymore!"

Chuntao was anxious.

At this time, Jun Yuyan rode over from a distance. The mountain road was muddy and the horses' hooves were slipping.

"There are several houses at the foot of the mountain. Ah Jiu, let's take shelter from the rain first." Murong Jiu nodded. After looking for them for so long, it's time for everyone to take a rest.

She didn't know how long it had been raining, and the river was so fast that she was afraid that her father and brother would be in danger.

At the foot of the mountain, other people arrived one after another.

General Fu and his second and third brothers strode towards her without even wiping the rain off their bodies, asking her if she felt uncomfortable.

Murong Jiu shook his head.

"Go and change into clean clothes first, dry your hair, eat something to rest, and then go back to the capital."

General Fu's face had a vicissitudes of life, and his eyes showed a look of resignation.

Fu Heng has not been found for so long, and there is little hope. He may have already rushed into the river. The river is wide and deep. If a person sinks to the bottom, he will not be able to fish him out even if he wants to.

Murong Jiu felt sour in her heart, but she also knew that she would not be of much use here and would only make everyone worried, so she nodded to her father and agreed.

After changing into the clothes of a peasant woman and drying her hair, she ate something, which tasted like chewing wax.

"Ajiu, I'll take you back to Beijing first."

Jun Yuyan looked at her distressedly and held her hand tightly. He felt that his Ah Jiu had lost a lot of weight in just one day.

"This is not your fault, Ah Jiu, don't blame yourself, my eldest brother wouldn't want to see you like this. Only by getting better soon can we take revenge."

"I know, Prince, don't worry about me, you know I'm very strong, nothing can knock me down."

Jun Yuyan held her in his arms and said distressedly: "Ajiu, if you want to cry, just cry beside me. Don't hold it in. The person we care about the most is you. You still have the poison of Yinxiantian. Don’t hold back your emotions.”

His gentle words allowed Murong Jiu to vent her inner emotions. She buried herself in his chest and cried for a long time, soaking the coarse clothes he had just put on.

Murong Jiu couldn't understand why fate would play such a joke on her. She finally had relatives, so why was God so cruel?

After venting her emotions, she felt much relieved, but the discomfort was still uncomfortable. If she couldn't find Fu Heng, this kind of discomfort would linger in her heart for the rest of her life.

Jun Yuyan wanted to send her back to the city, but Murong Jiu refused. He would come back again after he left. Neither of them slept a wink. How could she let him run back and forth like this.

"Since Chang Chonghai is here, don't worry. You should also take a rest. I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."

"I'm not in the way. It was common to stay awake for days and nights during wars. It's true that my father-in-law is old and needs some rest, but he doesn't want to go back to the city with you."

"Let father stay."

He couldn't do much to help, but instead held back and made them worry. But only if his father stayed and had something to do, he would not think too much.

When the rain subsided a little, Murong Jiu's carriage set out on the road and was able to return to the capital before dark.

Jun Yuyan was worried and escorted her to the outskirts. When he saw the city gate, he wanted to watch her carriage enter the city before riding back.

Murong Jiu looked at his leaving figure, her heart filled with sadness.

The carriage came in before the city gate closed. Curfew time was coming soon, so the carriage sped up.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"Princess, no matter what sound you hear, don't get off the carriage!"

Chang Chonghai's solemn voice came from outside.

"What happened?"

Hongyi leaned against the carriage and whispered: "There are many assassins outside! Princess, lower your head!"

As soon as Hong Yi finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the air. An arrow shot straight into the carriage and was nailed to the hard wooden board. The tail of the arrow was still buzzing and vibrating, which showed the great strength of the man who pulled the bow.

Chuntao turned pale with fright, but she did not forget to protect the princess with her back.

There was a muffled sound outside, and it was obvious that one of the palace guards had been hit by an arrow!
