Chapter Twenty-Eight: I Owe You Your Life
When Yongchen came back, he saw Mu Qianxia sitting stupidly at the mouth of the cave, staring at a pile of dead branches and fallen leaves frowning in a daze, and couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong?" β
"That, I, I don't have tinder, and I won't drill wood for fire." Mu Qianxia got up a little embarrassed.
She didn't seem to help much, and she caused a lot of trouble for Yongchen.
"Take it." Yongchen threw a fire fold in front of Mu Qianxiadi, and he went to cut a branch and skewered the pheasant and rabbit in his hand.
There is no water source nearby, Yongchen only got it back after specially cleaning it, and the smell of blood has faded a lot.
Mu Qianxia was the first time she saw the fire fold, and she didn't know the fire fold at all, so she studied it alone for a long time. So when Yongchen put on the rabbit, Mu Qianxia's fire hadn't been lit yet.
"Why are you so stupid?" Yongchen scolded softly, but Mu Qianxia smiled and didn't take it to heart. Yongchen took the fire fold from Mu Qianxia's hand, blew it gently, and the open flame appeared, and poked the dead leaves of Mu Qianxia's pile with a branch, Yongchen skillfully lit the fire, and stirred it up twice at will, and the flames jumped up.
"When the fire is lit, will the barbecue be?" Yongchen clapped his hands, obviously not planning to do it himself.
When he became an adult, he never took it personally.
"Yes." Mu Qianxia has never touched these before, and modern times will not be directly roasted on the fire. But when she used to watch it on TV, it seemed very simple, just put something on the fire and keep reactionary.
Mu Qianxia finished dressing the rabbit from Yongchen's hands and roasting it on the fire.
Because there is no barbecue grill, she needs to hold it in her hands all the time, which is an extremely hard job, and it is close to the fire, and no one can stand it after a long time.
Mu Qianxia's hands were already so sore because of climbing the cliff that they couldn't do it, and now they kept holding the barbecue, which was definitely an injury on top of an injury, plus she was too close to the fire, and the injuries on her body were roasted by the heat, which seemed to hurt even more.
Soon, Mu Qianxia was covered in sweat, and her face was even more red, even if she tried her best to endure it, she couldn't help but show a painful look.
"Ahh Mu Qianxia suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Yongchen immediately walked to Mu Qianxia's side from the side.
"It's okay, my hand was accidentally burned by the fire." Mu Qianxia said softly.
"Why are you so clumsy?" Yongchen reprimanded Mu Qianxia while dragging Mu Qianxia's scalded hand over, took a closer look, and then said slowly: "Fortunately, you hid fast enough, but it was slightly red, and it will be fine after a while."
"You go to the side to rest, and the rest of the things are here, you are in the way here." Yongchen said impatiently.
Although his tone was very bad, Mu Qianxia still felt concern from his tone, "Thank you." β
"Oh, your thank you is so cheap, since the first time we met, the most you and this seat have said is "thank you". Yongchen scoffed.
"I ...... I owe you my life. Mu Qianxia solemnly promised, "In the future, as long as you open your mouth, and within my ability, I will definitely do my best." β
"Good, remember what you said." Yongchen was full of answers, although he didn't need to.
Mu Qianxia breathed a sigh of relief, she and Yongchen were not familiar with each other, but the other party saved her in danger again and again, if the other party had no plans, she would feel even more strange.
With Yongchen taking over the rest of the work, Mu Qianxia was no longer reckless, draped Yongchen's clothes on his body, and rested against the corner of the cave.
Xu was really tired, Mu Qianxia didn't take long to sit and fall asleep, Yongchen looked back and found that even if Mu Qianxia was asleep, he was still frowning tightly.
With his eyes moving slightly, Yongchen sighed inaudibly, walked over and put the slippery clothes back on Mu Qianxia's body, and then came back and continued to stare at the barbecue in his hand.
Half an hour later, the rabbit was ripe, and Yongchen hesitated to wake Mu Qianxia up.
If she didn't eat again, she wouldn't be able to hold on.
I have to say that Yongchen's barbecue technique is really good, without salt and any condiments, Mu Qianxia still feels very fragrant.
A whole rabbit, to say the least, has three or four catties, Mu Qianxia ate it all by herself, it can be seen that she is really hungry.
The other rabbit meat in Yongchen's hand was also cooked, and when he turned around and asked Lin Mu Qianxia if he wanted it, Mu Qianxia shook his head decisively, "I'm full." Even if she didn't have enough to eat now, she couldn't continue to eat, and her stomach couldn't bear a binge of eating after being so hungry. She just wanted to drink some water first, but Mu Qianxia didn't dare to say this.
But Mu Qianxia doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that Yongchen doesn't know. He seems to be cold and inconsiderate, but his various actions are enough to show that he is very careful and considerate.
"Take it." Stuffing the freshly roasted rabbit meat into Mu Qianxia's hand, Yongchen left the cave, and after a while, he reappeared in front of Mu Qianxia with a handful of things like reeds.
"Break off from it, and there is water to drink in the middle." Yongchen casually threw it into Mu Qianxia's arms, and at the same time took his roast rabbit meat from her hand.
Mu Qianxia didn't say thank you, but the smile on her face was a little more, and looking at Yongchen's grimace, she didn't feel so terrible.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The capital, the Great Prince's Mansion.
In the study room of the Great Prince's Mansion, hearing the report of the secret agent, Gu Chen was so angry that he smashed the inkstone on the table at him, "A group of waste, even a woman can't look at it, what's the use of His Royal Highness raising you?" β
Syllable...... The inkstone shattered to the ground, and the secret agent was motionless, only a slightly shrunken and trembling body, revealing the horror in his heart at this time.
"The subordinates know their mistakes, and their subordinates deserve death, and I ask Your Highness to punish them." The secret agent knew that he couldn't escape punishment from the moment Mu Qianxia escaped. If he is defeated in the hands of the three princes, there is nothing to say, who made that person the famous third prince, but ......
Planted in the hands of a woman, a weak woman who has no martial arts and no power to restrain the chicken, not to mention that His Royal Highness the eldest prince is dissatisfied, even the secret agent himself is unwilling.
He admitted that there was an element of his negligence in this, but this could not change the fact that Mu Qianxia escaped from him.
"Of course His Highness will be punished, if he doesn't punish you, how should His Highness serve the public in the future." Gu Chenjing was really annoyed at the moment.
The plan was so good that it failed at the last minute, and it didn't come in handy at all.
Recently, everything has really gone wrong, Gu Li has been in Xichu for so long, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came back, he would quickly pull out all the people he had so hard to install in the court.
Mu Qianxia had originally agreed to marry him, but after he left, there was a coup d'Γ©tat in Xichu, and I don't know what means Gu Li used to make the emperor of Xichu marry Mu Qianxia to Gu Li at the expense of his reputation.
I heard that my father has been seriously ill recently, but the people in the hospital are all Gu Li's people, and he doesn't know anything about his father's physical condition, no matter how much he and his mother try to see his father.
Gu Chenjing now had a headache when he thought of these bad things, pressed his temples, and saw the secret agent who was still trembling on the ground, Gu Chenjing said in disgust: "Get out, go and get the punishment yourself." β
When the secret agent heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully: "Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill." If you receive the punishment yourself, it must not be too light, but it will not be fatal, no matter what, your little life is saved.
Gu Chenjing didn't speak, he sat alone in the study, and after a long time, a guard came in and reported: "Your Highness, Doctor Zhang is outside now, and said to ask Your Highness for peace and security." β
"Let him in." Because he has been unwell recently, he always has a headache, and he can't trust the doctor of the Tai Hospital, so he ordered someone to secretly visit the famous doctor, this Zhang Shen Doctor was invited by his subordinates to come back to see a doctor for him, and Zhang Shen Doctor will come to Gu Chenjing sooner or later to ask for a peace pulse.
After finishing the salute, Doctor Zhang half-knelt in front of Gu Chenjing, and said worriedly after a while: "Your Highness, your heart has been too hot recently, you have been thinking too much, and you need to recuperate. Otherwise, if this goes on for a long time, your body will not be able to bear it, and the headache will continue to worsen. β
"There have been too many things to worry about recently, and when His Royal Highness is busy with this period of time, I will do some recuperation, you can prescribe a few pairs of medicines to suppress the condition now."
"Yes, Your Highness."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The first rays of sunlight spilled into the mountains and forests, shining on Mu Qianxia's face, illuminating the fluff on her face very clearly......
It's white, it's soft, and you can't help but want to reach out and touch it.
His eyelids moved slightly, Yongchen knew that Mu Qianxia was about to wake up, so he turned his face away indifferently and didn't look at her again.
When Mu Qianxia woke up, she saw Yongchen sitting opposite her, and Mu Qianxia was used to seeing that grimace, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Early." The voice was soft and lazy when he had just woken up, low and hoarse, as if a feather gently brushed the tip of his heart, making people shudder.
"Hmm." After Yongchen replied rudely, he got up and walked out of the cave.
Men who just wake up early in the morning are always less self-controlled!
In the morning, the woods are full of life, and the fresh and humid air makes you can't help but indulge in it.
Mu Qianxia walked out of the cave and took a deep breath of air, with the moistness of dew and the smell of earth, so that Mu Qianxia couldn't help but indulge in it. I stretched my waist and pulled the wound on my body, it hurt, and my muscles were even more sore, and it seemed to be worse than last night.
However, this pain is still within the range that Mu Qianxia can bear, at least Mu Qianxia can be sure that she can walk down Wolf Mountain before sunset today.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yongchen returned, bringing her water and wild fruits. The water is made of bamboo, and there are plenty of portions, and she can simply freshen up after drinking.
Mu Qianxia took it with a smile, after yesterday's incident, she knew that the man in front of her didn't like verbal thanks, so she didn't waste saliva to say thank you.
A quarter of an hour later, Mu Qianxia cleaned up and ate the wild fruits, and the two of them prepared to go down the mountain.
