Chapter 635: The Difference Between Life and Death
While Chang Ru was taking care of the Fourth Prince's injuries, she also asked the guards to inquire about the situation in the imperial capital.
She was very worried about the situation in the imperial capital.
If the Queen Mother had failed in that palace turmoil, they might have had no choice but to flee to Yancheng.
The Queen will never let them go!
Now, she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that the Empress Dowager would be the winner of this palace coup.
"Miss!" Chang Li's voice suddenly rang out, and he walked quickly to Chang Ru with a hint of joy on his face.
"Is there any news from the imperial capital?" Chang Ru asked immediately.
"Miss, we don't have to run away! I just received news that the emperor has passed away! The Empress Dowager has already found out that it was the Queen who murdered the emperor! The third prince also lost his life in that palace riot. The overall situation in the palace is now firmly under the control of the Empress Dowager!"
"Really?" Chang Ru was excited. "That's great, it's really great!"
Just at this moment, the Fourth Prince also woke up from his coma.
Chang Ru was the first to notice that he had woken up and ran over happily, "Husband, you finally woke up."
The Fourth Prince looked around in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
Ever since he was injured, he has had a high fever and was in a daze. He didn't even know that Chang Ru was taking him on a life-or-death escape. He only knew that after he opened his eyes, the surrounding environment was very unfamiliar.
"Where is this?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
"It doesn't matter where we are now. What's important is that we can go back to the imperial capital soon, my husband... no, the emperor! You will soon succeed to the throne and become the emperor of Daxia!" Chang Ru's tone was filled with irrepressible joy.
The fourth prince looked bewildered.
Wasn't he demoted to a commoner?
How could he succeed to the throne?
"My husband, you are too badly injured and have been in a coma. You don't know what happened. Don't worry, I will slowly tell you what happened." After Chang Ru finished speaking, she turned around and ordered, "Chang Li, send someone back to the imperial capital immediately to tell the Queen Mother where we are. Also, send the governor here with the best doctors and the best medicine to meet us."
"Yes." Chang Li immediately withdrew from the arrangements.
Susu stood in the yard, with soapberry bubbles on her hands and a basin of unwashed clothes beside her.
She heard the conversation in the room just now.
I couldn't help but clench my hands.
How could this be?
The Fourth Prince had clearly been demoted to a commoner, how could this be the outcome!
Is it true as Chang Ru said that the Fourth Prince will inherit the throne and become the Emperor of Daxia?
Under such circumstances, she still wants to kill the Fourth Prince. Isn't that just wishful thinking?
Susu looked into the room unwillingly, and saw Chang Ru had already helped the Fourth Prince up.
The fourth prince saw the figure standing outside the door and called out, "Su Su."
Susu immediately let go of her hand, wiped it on her body and walked in.
"Master, you finally woke up."
"Susu, go get a glass of water." Chang Ru ordered immediately.
Su Su was originally walking straight towards the Fourth Prince, but after hearing Chang Ru's instructions, she changed direction, poured a glass of water, and respectfully brought it to the bed.
Chang Ru took it and slowly fed it to the Fourth Prince.
"Husband, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? I've been simmering chicken soup for you." Chang Ru asked again considerately.
"Yeah." The Fourth Prince nodded weakly.
"Susu, go and bring the chicken soup."
"Yes." Susu turned and left.
The chicken soup was indeed simmering on the fire, but she was the only one who was busy with everything from plucking the feathers to gutting the pheasant and stewing it until it was soft and tender.
Susu opened the lid of the clay pot and looked at the thick soup inside. There was a layer of oil floating on the top, which looked delicious.
If you put a packet of highly toxic poison in it, you will bleed from all seven orifices after drinking it!
She picked up the bowl, scooped up the chicken soup, and desperately wanted to put the medicine in the soup!
What does it matter if her worthless life perishes together with the Fourth Prince!
"Susu, you have to remember that your life is not worthless. Since you are born as a human being, everyone is born by their parents and has the right to live well in this world."
Ji Chuhe's words suddenly appeared in Susu's mind.
She wants to live, her family, her mother, father, brother, sister...
Which one of them doesn't want to live?
The people of the Luo family were reckless and harmed her entire family.
If she had not been mistaken for another girl and fell into the hands of human traffickers, she would have died long ago!
Finally, Susu took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts in her mind, filled a bowl of chicken soup and walked into the house.
The moment she entered the room, she felt something strange.
She looked back and didn't see anyone, but she had a feeling that someone was watching her.
"Madam, the chicken soup is here." Susu stood beside Chang Ru politely.
"Give it to me." Chang Ru took the chicken soup and fed it to the Fourth Prince herself.
The Fourth Prince drank a few sips and felt a little bit of strength restored. He smiled at Chang Ru.
"Ma'am, you've worked hard. Look at you, you've lost weight."
"As long as my husband is safe, nothing else matters." Chang Ru responded softly.
The Fourth Prince looked at Su Su again. Su Su also looked very embarrassed. However, it was precisely because of this embarrassment that she looked fragile and someone wanted to hold her in his arms and cherish her.
Chang Ru has some of the demeanor of a daughter of a general. She is the kind of person who has her own ideas, courage, and the ability to take charge.
Even in such an environment, there is no pitiful posture that would make people want to protect her.
However, in the hearts of men, SuSu's attitude will always make them feel more pity for her, reluctant to let her go, and more cherishing.
Chang Ru noticed the Fourth Prince's gaze and told Su Su, "Su Su, go and get busy first."
"Yes, ma'am." Susu stepped out.
"Your Highness, it won't be long before the prefect of Dancheng comes to pick us up. By then, there will be better doctors and better medicine." After Chang Ru finished speaking, she blew a mouthful of chicken soup and fed it to his mouth.
"Madam, it is my blessing to marry you in this life. If I inherit the throne, you will definitely be my queen. I will rule the world and you will be in charge of the six palaces."
"Thank you, husband." Chang Ru felt happy.
……
The news that the Fourth Prince was still alive reached the palace.
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurry up and send someone to welcome the Fourth Prince!"
"Empress Dowager, the prefect of Dancheng has sent people to protect the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince will be able to return to the imperial capital as early as tomorrow." The newly promoted eunuch chief, Eunuch Hong, said with a smile on his face.
"Good, good, good!" The Queen Mother said three good words in a row.
……
Prince's Mansion.
Ji Chuhe was playing with Youer in the house.
Xiao Yanan walked in quickly.
"Madam, there is news about the Fourth Prince."
"Where is he?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
"Dancheng."
"Dancheng, it seems that Chang Ru really loves the Fourth Prince and is planning to flee all the way back to Yancheng. She wants to save the Fourth Prince's life no matter what."
