She didn’t know how long they waited, so Qiqi gradually fell asleep. She was originally leaning against the stone wall, but after falling asleep, her head tilted, and she leaned against Shen Zhonghua’s shoulder.
The cave was quiet. How much Shen Zhonghua hoped time could stop at this moment. It would be great. As long as she was by his side, it was good......
It was just at the bottom of the cave there was no food except water. The sky should be dark now. The cave had become colder and more humid. It wasn’t good if it continued like this. It would make Qiqi sick. Shen Zhonghua thought about it and suddenly heard a faint sound coming from above.
“Wangye?” It was Leng Xing.
Shen Zhonghua answered: “Miss Su is also down here.”
Qiqi also woke up and heard Leng Xing’s familiar voice: “This subordinate will help you two up.”
After that, he took the torch down with the help of Liu Yue. The light brought by the torch made Qiqi, who had adapted to darkness, felt a little dazzling and had to squint her eyes. Shen Zhonghua saw it and stretched out his hand from the side to cover it with his wide sleeve.
“It takes too long to come, please ask Wangye for mercy.” Leng Xing stuck the torch aside and then kneeled down to Shen Zhonghua. Shen Zhonghua motioned him to get up and then he turned to pay respect to Qiqi.
“No need.” Although Qiqi was now the young miss of the general, she still regarded Leng Xing and Liu Yue as her own older brothers.
Leng Xing didn’t speak much. He tried testing the rope if it was firm, and then made a gesture, wanting to send Shen Zhonghua up first.
However, Shen Zhonghua took a step back and took Qiqi’s hand toward him. Qiqi hadn’t reacted yet, so she didn’t break free, and just heard Shen Zhonghua instruct Leng Xing: “Send Miss Su up first.”
“Yes.”
“I can do it myself.” Qiqi was good at martial arts and was naturally not like those delicate misses. Soon she went up with the help of Liu Yue, followed by Shen Zhonghua.
After the two of them were rescued, Leng Xing and Liu Yue led the reins of the two to the camp separately. When approaching the camp, she saw a woman dressed as a peasant woman waiting nearby. Shen Zhonghua told Qiqi: “This is Sister Yun. She didn’t go to work today. You separated from your family during the shooting and sprained your ankle. You met her and rested in her hut in the forest.”
Qiqi understood. This was to avoid suspicion. She was a little grateful that he once saved the Su family’s face again. She couldn’t help asking him: “What about you, Wangye?”
Shen Zhonghua said calmly: “This prince feels uneasy so naturally he will stay with you.”
Qiqi: “...”
Well alright, they weren't together as a lone man and woman anyway.
When returning to the camp, you naturally first report your safety to everyone. For this hunting, the empress was still banned. It was Imperial Concubine Chen who expressed concern for them and everyone in the general’s residence almost broke down from worrying. Old Six who was reckless also said he would watch the night outside Qiqi’s tent, lest she accidentally ran around and got lost. After a while, mother Su asked Qiqi to wash and rest first.
When Xiang Huan combed Qiqi’s hair, she couldn’t help but said to her: “Miss, fortunately, you are not in the camp, otherwise it will really dirty your eyes......”
Qiqi asked: “What happened?”
Xiang Huan had always been talkative, but she wasn’t the kind of person who chewed her tongue. The reason why she said this to Qiqi was probably because she didn’t like Princess Anning. Xiang Huan said: “It’s Ge Shuhan, the Crown Prince of the Northern Country. He drank his head full and asked his subordinates...... to find a girl for him. In this imperial hunting ground, where can they find a girl for him? One supposes his subordinates must just want to...... want to fool a servant girl for him, but one didn’t know why it was actually Princess Anning they got......”
Xiang Huan was a young girl, after all, so she was also ashamed to speak out.
Qiqi was surprised: “That......”
Didn’t that......
Sure enough, Lan Cui sighed and said: “After that, Princess Anning passed out and was thrown out by his people. In the end, the guards on patrol found her......”
How could one mistakenly identify a princess as a servant girl? Their clothes were completely different!
Xiang Huan snorted and whispered: “That is just an excuse from Princess Anning’s side. The statement of the Northern Country is that Princess Anning voluntarily sent herself to the door to seduce the crown prince. When she was alone in the tent, she didn’t...... didn’t wear trousers......”
This was nonsense. How could a princess not wear trousers? Even the prostitutes in the brothel wouldn’t do that. Obviously, they were deliberately corrupting the reputation of Princess Anning.
It was said that after Princess Anning woke up, her entire self collapsed, clamoring to kill herself. Especially when she heard the imperial concubine say to His Majesty: “Your Majesty, the overall situation is the most important. We’ll eventually have a peace marriage with them. In this case, why not directly let Princess Anning and Ge Shuhan marry each other?”
Finally, Princess Anning who “escaped death” from Ge Shuhan, cried and passed out directly.
Later, Qiqi heard vaguely that when Princess Anning was discovered, she had half of her face swollen and many bruises on her body. She was naked, one of her nipples was bitten off, and further down between her legs...... When returned to the tent, the bleeding continued without end.
Later on, Princess Anning married the northern country. She married Ge Shuhan. Since it was a peace marriage, no matter whether she was willing or not, if she didn’t go, it would affect her whole family.
The last time Qiqi heard about Princess Anning was news of her death. One did not know how much she had been abused by Ge Shuhan. Ge Shuhan often used her to reward “important ministers”. She lost a few children, all of which were forced to have a good time with men, and the bottom was always dirty, always bleeding. She didn’t take good care of the few puerperium and fell into the disease throughout her life and still catch hualiu......
(T/N: hualiu: a disease that’s disgusting... )
Ge Shuhan didn’t let her go just like that. He thought she was dirty, so he didn’t touch her, but he liked to stuff all kinds of thick and long things under her, and lastly, he actually stabbed her with the handle of a spear and broke her womb......
