I was so uncomfortable that I didn't want to speak, Pei Chuan brought a bowl of dark decoction, and the smell made me sick to my stomach.

"Princess, drink the medicine."

I turned my face away, not wanting to smell the bitterness.

Pei Chuan rubbed my head with his big hand and coaxed me gently: "Good, I won't feel bad after drinking the medicine."

"I don't want to drink..."

I writhed twice in his arms, my eyes slightly moist.

If it weren't for Pei Chuan, I would probably be dead, right?

It turns out that when people are in a coma, they can't even dream.

My head was so dizzy that I felt that I couldn't lift it, so Pei Chuan had to gently support my chin with one hand, and bring the medicine bowl to my eyes with the other.

"Be obedient, drink the medicine and sleep well, and you will be fine soon."

Pei Chuan looked at me patiently and gently, and the candle flame in his intoxicating dark golden eyes like glass flickered, reflecting my face.

I looked at Pei Chuan's prosperous beauty, and my heart swayed.

In a state of confusion, I drank the bowl of bitter medicine.

I kind of know why my father wanted Pei Chuan to stay with me.

7.

When I woke up, Pei Chuan was staying by my side, leaning on the head of the bed and falling asleep.

I saw the bruises under his eyes, and I was afraid that he had been taking care of me sleeplessly for the past few days, so I did not make a sound to disturb him.

It's just that Pei Chuan has always slept very shallowly, and he still woke up.

Seeing that my complexion gradually returned to ruddy, the worry in Pei Chuan's eyes faded a little.

A strange sound rang out, and I blushed and covered my stomach with some embarrassment.

Pei Chuan smiled, and his tone was a little doting: "The princess is hungry, I'll go and ask Xiao Er to serve a few hot dishes."

After a while, Xiao Er went upstairs with a few hot dishes and a bowl of egg drop soup, while Pei Chuan went downstairs with a wooden bucket to fetch water.

Seeing that I woke up, Xiao Er put down the dishes and said happily: "The girl is awake, your family treats you really well, you have been taking care of you all day and night these days, and anyone who sees it is envious!"

I was stunned for a moment, then my face turned red and I couldn't say a word.

"Ahem..."

Pei Chuan leaned against the door, still carrying a bucket in his hand, and looked at me with a smile on his lips.

Obviously, he also heard Xiao Er's words.

I just felt like my face was burning more and more.

"My lady is afraid of life, and I'm tired of you."

Pei Chuan smiled and gave the little two a silver ingot, and the little two suddenly smiled and retreated.

I didn't dare to look up at Pei Chuan's eyes, but I could feel his gaze falling on me all the time.

"Princess, let's eat."

My legs and feet were weak, Pei Chuan helped me to the table and sat down, I hurriedly picked up a bowl of rice and sent it to my mouth to hide my embarrassment.

Pei Chuan took a piece of green vegetables and put it in my bowl: "Princess, eat slowly."

I raised my eyes to catch a glimpse of Pei Chuan's red ears, and put the green vegetables that Pei Chuan had given me into my mouth with a look of relief.

I bit my chopsticks and thought, Pei Chuan, do you like me?

8.

"The subordinates are late, please forgive Master Pei!"

In the utility room of the Cangzhou Inn, several people knelt in front of Pei Chuan and bowed in a low voice.

Pei Chuan's face was frosty, and his expression was gloomy: "Why is it late?"

"Lord Hui, Emperor Chen was assassinated, and we have been delayed for a few days."

Pei Chuan stood with his hands in his hands, leaving only a few people with an unfathomable back.

"Don't let the princess know about this."

"Yes, sir!"

9.

After recuperating in the inn for a few days, I felt that my body was almost recovered, so I asked Pei Chuan to arrange the itinerary and continue north.

I leaned against the window, looking at the crowded street downstairs, and the face of the man who was killed by Pei Chuan's sword suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Pei Chuan, do you know the origin of the group of people who set up an ambush outside the city that day? I saw that those people were not dressed like Chenguo, but like... North?"

I asked with uncertainty what was in my mind.

These days, the secret guard sent by my father has come to answer, although it is a few days later than expected, but it is probably delayed on the way.

"Hui Princess, those people are indeed wearing the costumes of the North, and according to their subordinates, it is very likely that they are the handiwork of Shu Luzheng."

"It was the carelessness of my subordinates that day, but I didn't expect that one of the living mouths left for questioning was actually the Northern Insect Master."

Pei Chuan's eyes dimmed, and his fingers clenched the saber in his hand.

"The Northern Khan is trying to kill me and declare war? I sneered, I wasn't surprised by this situation.

"My subordinates swear to protect the safety of the princess, and I will take the princess back to Chenguo safely." Pei Chuan's calm and powerful voice came from my ears, and I raised my eyes to look at him.

"Pei Chuan, I don't know something."

"Princess, please speak."

"I've heard that the north is good at raising poisonous insects, and they are all driven by insect masters, and the poison is complicated and disorderly, and it is very difficult to understand..."

"I was bitten by a poisonous snake that day, how did you detoxify it?"

Pei Chuan's face did not change and said, "My subordinates saw this kind of poisonous snake when they were young, and my mother once taught me how to prepare an antidote."

I touched my chin, the Northern Insect Master is very rare, the number is scarce, and most of them serve the royal family.

So how did Pei Chuan know this?

Could it be that the mother is the legendary insect master?!

I couldn't help but ask, "Pei Chuan, isn't Ling Tang an insect master?"

Pei Chuan couldn't cry or laugh, and rubbed my head: "My mother is from the Central Plains, I just met it by chance, there are few insect masters, and the princess laughed."

I became even more curious, and pulled him by the sleeve and asked, "What about your father?" Isn't your father a worm master?"

Pei Chuan never mentioned his parents to me, only that both parents died, and I didn't want to mention his sadness, so I never asked more.

A gust of evening wind blew, and it was a little chilly, and I couldn't help but sneeze.

Pei Chuan took off his robe and draped it over me, and his eyes were full of glimmers.

"I have lived with my mother since I was a child, and I have only heard about my father from my mother, and I have never seen him like, but my mother does not like him."

I nodded, no longer asked, and looked at Pei Chuan with a little sympathy in my eyes.

Not everyone had a happy childhood, and I can't imagine what kind of turbulent and miserable time Pei Chuan experienced when he was a child.

I don't want Pei Chuan to recall those gloomy days again.

The sunset was shining, and I saw Pei Chuan smiling at me with the light on his back, his dark golden eyes full of touching light.

"Fortunately, after meeting the princess, Chuan is very happy."

10.

A week later, we arrived at the northern border, the city of Ulle.

Wule City is located in the southwest corner of the north side, with abundant water and grass, cattle and sheep everywhere, and the stretching Qishan Mountain in the distance, with a wide field of vision.

Pei Chuan dismounted and held the reins, while I sat on the horse, looking like an ordinary couple.

When I was in Cangzhou, Pei Chuan bought me a dress for a northern woman, saying that after changing into it, I could avoid a lot of trouble.

He was always thoughtful, and I listened to him.

It's just that when I saw Pei Chuan also wearing Beibi men's clothes, I was still amazed.

Originally, Pei Chuan's eyebrows and eyes were deep, and the bridge of his nose was high, and his description was already extraordinary, but now he is wearing this northern costume, and he has a bit of exotic style.
