Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile
Chapter 44: Five Princes Floating in the River
"Hahahahaha——" the escorting officers all burst into laughter.
Qian Chuanzi was annoyed. "Go away, I don't believe you don't think so. Lao Liu, Erzi, do you want to try more braised prawns or steamed fish?"
Of course it was braised prawns, this was what all the escort officers wanted. But they would not admit it, and Lao Liu said stubbornly: "We are not picky about food. As long as it is cooked by the Fan family, we like it."
When Lao Liu said this, Qian Chuanzi felt like his partner had changed into a different person: "Oh my god, Lao Liu, when did you learn to flatter people?"
Old Liu remained calm and composed: "This is not flattery, but telling the truth."
Qian Chuanzi was speechless for a moment, "Okay, you are right."
He turned to Caiwei who was serving the dishes and said, "Give me some more braised prawns. I want to make them hungry to death."
Such childish behavior made everyone laugh again.
Even the people from the Chu and Liu families couldn't help but relax. The reason was simple: ever since Chu Junyi and Liu Balang took the lead in working in exchange for food, the lives of the two families had become more or less better.
People will feel jealous when the gap is not big, but once they realize that there is a huge gap between them, they will only feel envious. This is the case with the Liu family now. They have lost half of their male members. If they still want to reach Yazhou unscathed, the Fan family is undoubtedly the best support.
Sure enough, after a short while, Liu Balang returned to the Liu family's camp with a large bowl full of food.
Similarly, Chu Junyi also got a lot, but for Chu Ling'er, who has always been regarded as the group's favorite, this is simply an insult.
However, the biological parents who had threatened to teach Chu Ci a lesson were nowhere to be seen, which made her feel uneasy and she had no time to take care of other things.
It was rare that everyone was satisfied with the meal.
After a short rest, the team continued on their way. However, when they reached the river not far from the valley, they saw a man in purple brocade floating in the river. Purple brocade is not something that ordinary people can wear. Qian Chuanzi made a prompt decision: "Hurry up and save him——"
The river was not very deep, but the current was extremely fast. Qian Chuanzi rushed over and barely grabbed the corner of the man's clothes. Fortunately, Lao Liu arrived in time, and the two worked together to stop the man.
With the help of Fan Jingrui and his brothers from above, they finally rescued the person.
But as soon as they got ashore, Fan Jingrui was stunned: "Fifth Prince?"
Hearing the name of the Fifth Prince, Old Liu did not dare to slack off. He climbed up and touched the Fifth Prince's neck, regardless of his soaking wet body. "He is still breathing."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, but it was clear that they were too happy too soon. After taking the patient's pulse, Lao Liu gave an answer that made everyone feel suffocated: "But there is no pulse. I can't save him."
Chu Ci didn't know whether the fifth prince had such a disaster in the original book, so now he could only do his best. "Give him some relief."
"How?" Fan Jingrui asked without hesitation.
"Check if there is any foreign body in the mouth and clean it out. Then perform mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration and press the chest at the same time. Follow this rhythm!" After saying this, he took out an external MP3 player from the space. The vast horizon is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills...
Phoenix Legend’s classic song, “The Most Dazzling National Style” made a brilliant debut.
"The Most Dazzling National Style" is indeed a life-saving song. Lao Liu quickly mastered the rhythm of pressing. Perhaps the Fifth Prince was not destined to die. After a burst of coughing, he vomited all the water in his lungs and slowly woke up.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked: "Jingrui, have I arrived in the underworld?"
Influenced by Chu Ci, Fan Jingrui also became able to joke. "No, no, no, Fifth Prince. I haven't lived enough. I'm living well and even thinking about living a long life."
"I am still alive?" The fifth prince's chaotic brain finally began to function normally, and he realized a fact.
Seeing that the fifth prince had regained consciousness, Fan Jingrui could not wait to ask, "What on earth happened to you? Why are you floating in the river alone?"
Talking about his experience, the fifth prince was devastated and filled with indignation: "In the capital, at the feet of the emperor. The fifth prince was chased like a dog, but no one came to rescue him. In the end, he had no choice but to flee in embarrassment. Jingrui, father..."
It is disrespectful to criticize the emperor, even for the fifth prince. Fan Jingrui was about to speak. At this time, Madam Fan took Mr. Fan's clothes and put them on the fifth prince. "Put them on, don't catch a cold."
"Madam, are you okay?" Seeing that Madam Fan was wearing a coarse cloth dress and the clothes in her hands were also dusty, the Fifth Prince remembered that the Fan family had been exiled.
"Now I have many children and grandchildren around me. My long-cherished wish has finally come true." Mrs. Fan's tone was very calm, so calm that one could not hear a trace of complaint.
But the Fifth Prince knew in his heart that Old Madam Fan was resentful.
And he himself was also full of resentment. His brother the Crown Prince was framed, and he was assassinated. And there was also his mother. He couldn't even imagine whether his mother could bear it after learning the news of his accident.
"I need to send a message to my mother." The fifth prince stared at Fan Jingrui.
"I guess it's no longer necessary." Fan Jingrui shouted into the void: "An Qi, are you there?"
The posture was not completely different from Chu Ci's before, it was exactly the same. An Qi was speechless, but had to show up. "An Qi greets the Fifth Prince."
The fifth prince was a little confused. What on earth was going on? How could an exiled family be protected by the royal guards? Or was all this fake? Then the crown prince brother...
The Fifth Prince was too excited, so Fan Jingrui had to interrupt his fantasy. "Stop, the Fan family was exiled for real. An Qi was not there for protection either."
The Fifth Prince couldn't believe it and turned to look at An Qi. An Qi had a lot of grievances in his heart, but no matter how disliked the emperor was, he was still a prince. He could only nod helplessly. As for more information, he said he had nothing to say.
Fifth Prince: ...
It was very, very uncomfortable. And it was the kind of discomfort that could not be expressed.
After a long, long time, so long that the Fifth Prince shuddered violently, he saw Madam Fan waiting beside him with a bowl of ginger soup. "Madam?"
"Drink it. Then change your clothes and we can discuss it later." The old lady did not say any words of comfort, but just said it lightly.
"Thank you, old lady." The fifth prince realized belatedly that it was unnecessary to be hypocritical in front of a group of exiled people. He took the ginger soup, pinched his nose and drank it all.
Madam Fan was very satisfied with this and said, "Come with me."
