A temple fair, two assassinations, not only did not find out the people behind the scenes, but also lost half of the troops of the East Palace.

After the crown prince Li Mo returned to the palace, he kept kneeling in front of the Jiaqing Palace. The spring rain was slightly cold, and it fell on him little by little, and the cold wind blew and froze him all over.

Thinking back to being in the hall just now, Emperor Jing'an's angry cough was all over the sky, his face turned red, and he almost fainted without coming up in one breath.

He was annoyed not that the temple would be destroyed, but that Li Mo had let Li Jingwen, who was the eldest grandson of the emperor, chase the assassin away alone, and finally lost his trace.

Emperor Jing'an's expectations for Li Jingwen were much greater than those for Li Mo.

The whereabouts of this baby pimple, who has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, are now unknown, and Emperor Jing'an did not depose the position of Prince Li Mo on the spot.

At this moment, Li Mo, who was kneeling outside the palace, had already been frozen to the point that his lips were purple, and the crown princess hurriedly entered the palace and finally came to Jiaqing Palace.

She called out again and again and ran to Li Mo's side and knelt down with him.

Li Mo didn't expect his wife to come, and a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, it's too cold, quickly put on a big coat to protect against the cold."

"What are you here to do? Hurry back to the palace! ”

"Where is His Highness, where are the concubines! If His Royal Highness wants to kneel, the concubine will accompany His Royal Highness to kneel, and we will kneel until my father forgives the East Palace. ”

"Nonsense!"

"Concubines are not fooling around! Zimu is also a piece of meat that fell from the concubine's body, and his disappearance is as heartbroken as my father and the emperor! ”

Li Mo still understands his wife's temper, and she has always been stubborn in doing things. This time kneeling in front of the temple with him was to blame himself for not fulfilling his obligations as a mother.

Her expression was so determined that she knelt on the ground and refused to bend down. Li Mo didn't say anything more, and the husband and wife kept kneeling with the drizzle.

And in the deep hall, Emperor Jing'an sat on the dragon chair with a headache. It's just a door, but it seems to have exhausted the cold family affection of the royal family.

……

It was getting late, and the twilight was late. It has been almost two hours since Li Jingwen disappeared.

In the deep forest, a bonfire was lit in a small pit.

Zhou Yichen broke off a few small branches and added a new fire, a small face was blackened by smoke, a proper little flower cat.

Li Jingwen leaned against the stone wall behind her, and Zhou Yichen put all the dead grass under him, just so that he could lean more comfortably.

After a while, Li Jingwen woke up from his coma, and he moved his sour hand to find that he was covered with a pink cloak. Raising his eyes again, the back of Zhou Yichen tinkering with the bonfire fell into his eyes.

"Girl." Li Jingwen called weakly.

Zhou Yichen immediately turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Li Jingwen who woke up at a glance. She quickly got up and walked over to him, crouching down again.

"How does Lang Jun feel?"

Li Jingwen frowned, turned his head and staggered his gaze behind him. The bolt had not yet been drawn, and had already pierced deep into his flesh.

"This crossbow arrow behind you pierced too deep for me to pull out."

Li Jingwen didn't speak, but raised his uninjured arm with difficulty, and reached out to pull out the arrow. But after trying many times, I still can't reach the crossbow arrow.

Zhou Yichen saw that he was having difficulty in moving and hurriedly stopped him, "Lang Jun, don't move anymore!" The wound is bleeding again! ”

Li Jingwen hung his arm helplessly, and the wound began to hurt violently again after being torn apart.

He finally looked at Zhou Yichen and asked, "Bother girl, help me pull out the arrow." ”

Zhou Yichen shuddered, and the panic was visible to the naked eye.

"I, I, I, I pull? I can't! ”

"You can!" Li Jingwen didn't hesitate, "Girl, you can do it." I'll teach you to do what I say. ”

Zhou Yichen was still afraid, Li Jingwen didn't worry or blame her, but encouraged her patiently.

Although she was afraid, she could see Li Jingwen's pained lips bloodless, and finally relented and promised him that he was willing to try.

She slowly moved to Li Jingwen's side, stretched out her hand to grasp the crossbow arrow, closed her eyes and heart, and exerted her strength, and really pulled out the crossbow arrow.

The crossbow bolts hooked bloody flesh, and blood gurgled down the wound, quickly soaking the clothes on the back.

Zhou Yichen was so busy that he directly covered the wound with his hands, but the blood still flowed out of his fingers. Her eyes were red with fright, and she wanted to cry.

Fortunately, Li Jingwen was calm enough, he tore off the corner of his clothes with a hard pull, and handed it to Zhou Yichen.

She took it and quickly tied it to the wound, barely stopping the blood.

She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, stunned as she stared at the blood on her hands.

Li Jingwen turned around and leaned against the stone wall again.

He glanced at Zhou Yichen and found that she was still distracted, thinking that he was frightened, so he took the rest of the clothes and rags again and again, and gently wiped the blood from her palm.

"Don't be afraid, it's just blood, just wipe it clean."

Zhou Yichen looked at him attentively and nodded.

"What's your name?" Li Jingwen accosted her in order to divert her attention.

Zhou Yichen lowered his eyes and replied in a whisper: "Yichen, Zhou Yichen." ”

Li Jingwen smiled, and Zhou Yichen had the courage to ask him.

"What about Lang Jun? What is Lang Jun's name? ”

"Zimu, Li Zimu."

After receiving the answer, Zhou Yichen lowered his head shyly and leaned against the stone wall with him.

The two of them looked up at the only exit above their heads, and Zhou Yichen sighed helplessly.

"Today is also unlucky, and I actually rolled into this kind of hole."

"If you come here, you can do it, and you don't need to panic. Let's rest for the night, and tomorrow we'll all have recovered our strength, and it's not too late to find a way out. ”

"Hmm." Zhou Yichen didn't say much, just responded softly.

The two fell silent, and at this time, Li Jingwen's stomach growled out of place. Zhou Yichen slowly raised his head to look at him tentatively, and finally landed his gaze on his stomach.

Li Jingwen felt embarrassed for the first time, so he covered his stomach in embarrassment and coughed to ease the atmosphere between the two.

Zhou Yichen just smiled softly, but not mocking.

"Lang Jun is hungry?"

Li Jingwen shrunk his neck and didn't speak, and even tilted his head over.

In the face of his death, Zhou Yichen didn't take it to heart, but raised his head and pointed to a branch and fruit growing on the top of the cave. Li Jingwen also raised his head, and the two looked at each other.

"I'm hungry too, and I want to eat that fruit. Does Lang Jun eat it? ”

"Eat. It's just too high, and if I hadn't been hurt, I might have been able to take it off. ”

"Don't be afraid, I have a way."

As he spoke, Zhou Yichen had already gotten up.

She looked down on the ground looking for something, then untied the headband that was tied to her hair. After squatting on the ground for a while, she seemed to have a simple hand thrower in her hand

- A stone that can be held in the palm of the hand, with a blue headband wrapped around the stone, and a decorative jade tassel hanging from the end of the headband.

Li Jingwen looked at the handthrower and only felt that Zhou Yichen was a smart girl. She was able to tie the hairband with the jade tassel hanging on the stone, which was accurate, and the weight of the stone must be less than the weight of the jade tassel. Even if you throw it, you don't have to worry about getting caught in the branches on your head.

Zhou Yichen weighed the stone in his hand a few times, aimed at the branch above and threw it straight up.

As expected, the ripe fruit could not withstand the impact at all, and fell down in twos and threes at once.

Zhou Yichen looked up, but was hit on the head by a fruit. She screamed in pain and immediately squatted on the spot with her head in her hands, but there would still be fruit falling on her.

Li Jingwen looked at the scene in front of him and smiled.

Not long after, many ripe fruits fell beside Zhou Yichen. She was so happy that she immediately picked them up one by one with her clothes and ran back to Li Jingwen.

She picked the biggest fruit, wiped it on her clothes, and then handed it to Li Jingwen.

"Eat it, it's all fresh."

Li Jingwen took it but didn't bite it immediately, but watched Zhou Yichen bite it before he was relieved to eat.

This is a habit that he has retained since he was a child living in the deep palace. Anything that goes into the mouth must be tested by a special person before it can be eaten. He is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he can't afford to make a mistake in the slightest responsibility.

The two sat side by side again, both raising their faces to look at the only canopy.

There were stars twinkling in the sky, and dew was dripping through the hole. Even though it was already spring, the nights were still very cold.

Zhou Yichen couldn't help but shudder and hugged his arms tightly.

Although Li Jingwen didn't look at her, he could feel the uneasiness of the people around him.

He didn't say anything, but split half of the cloak that had been on his body and put it on her. Zhou Yichen was simply flattered.

"Lang Jun is injured, you should build it, I'm okay."

"This garment was originally yours, and we are just the right one. Don't freeze when it's cold at night. ”

"Thank you, Lang-kun."

"You're welcome, didn't you pull out the arrow for me. I promise you a kindness, and when we go out, you will think about how you want me to repay it. ”

"We ...... Can you really still get out? The entrance to this cave is so high that I can't climb it. “

"Who said we were going to climb up from here?"

Zhou Yichen was puzzled and turned his head to look at him.

"What does Lang Jun mean?"

"You put your hand on the stone wall over there and feel if the wind blows in."

Zhou Yichen was puzzled, but she still did it.

Sure enough, from the other side of the stone wall, I felt a chill blowing from the back of my hand.

"It's really windy! How did Lang Jun know? ”

"It's nothing, I stumbled upon it when you were picking up fruit."

Zhou Yichen smiled, "If the wind blows in, there must be an exit, Lang Jun is really as careful as dust!" If it weren't for Lang Jun this time, maybe I would have died here. ”

"Don't say anything about not dying, how unlucky. Not only will we not die, but we will leave here and go home in good condition. ”

Zhou Yichen nodded seriously, "Yes!" We will definitely go back alive! ”

As she spoke, she withdrew her hand and shrunk into her cloak to keep warm.

Li Jingwen lowered his eyes and looked at her, Zhou Yichen turned to his side slightly, covered him with most of his cloak, and said something in his mouth.

"We'll find the exit at dawn tomorrow and go home. You can't afford to drag on your wounds, they're going to get infected. If there is anything uncomfortable at night, remember to call me, and don't resist alone. ”

"Isn't the girl scared now? What if I'm a bad person? ”

"Lang Jun has an extraordinary bearing, and he is a noble man at first glance. Nobles are gentlemen. ”

As she spoke, her voice getting quieter and quieter, she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. Soon fell asleep on Li Jingwen's shoulder.

Li Jingwen didn't speak, but tightened his cloak for her, and secretly thought in his heart-

"I don't know what kind of girl you are, you are so bold, you can sleep here."

Nobles are gentlemen? He didn't agree with that.

Li Jingwen still didn't feel sleepy after muttering in his heart, he raised his head again and looked at the sky above his head.
