He lifted the curtain and saw a patch of red leaves outside the window. The warm mountains were bleak and the autumn wind blew, bringing with it a patch of red butterflies. In the desolate and withered mountains, it was like a sea of flowers blooming in front of him.
The mountain peak in the distance was still shrouded in smoke, and a faint green color was revealed under the white veil.
Looking up the mountain, he saw a village. Smoke was still rising from every house. It was quiet and peaceful.
Zhong Yan took a deep breath of the air outside and slowly exhaled.
"Princess, Driftcloud Town is beyond this mountain.”Ying Hua carefully folded the blanket that covered Zhong Yan.”
"There's no hurry." She put down her hand and put it aside. She supported her chin with her hand and said," It's okay to be cold in spring."”
Her eyes were empty as she looked at the green persimmon on the small square table.
Yesterday, he had heard the news that the Lanling Kingdom had announced that the princes would be competing for the throne. Every prince was trying to win over the harem and the ministers.
However, Zhe Hao remained in Li Country without any news. His mother had no intention of sending him back, and no one in Lanling Country wanted him to return.
How could a prince with a mother's status get any benefits? He would just be a sacrifice when he returned.
If he was lucky, Zhe Hao would stay here from now on. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he could return to Lanling Kingdom and be a king with nothing to do. If his fate was not good…
It was likely that the Lanling Kingdom was the same as the Li Kingdom. Among all the princes…only the strongest person could stay and become the overlord of a region.
No one would be willing to let their position be threatened!
Feng Qinian noticed that there was something wrong with her gaze. She quietly hugged a blanket and looked at the scenery outside. Her heart was in a mess as she thought about what to do next.
His body was still itchy. His wounds were healing, but he couldn't scratch or scratch them. He was annoyed.
Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, and Zhong Yan instantly left her seat and sat down heavily. She felt a heart-wrenching pain. "What happened?" She cried out in alarm, her hands tightly gripping the windowsill beside her.
"Princess, the horse is frightened!" The coachman shouted from outside.”
Zhong Yan felt a cold sweat. How could the horse be frightened for no reason?
The shaking was getting stronger and stronger. As the ancient horse carriages were made of wooden shaft, even a small stone could be felt clearly. Now that they were speeding up, the shaking was even more intense.
After living here for seven years, he no longer knew how it felt to suffer.
"Princess!" Ying Hua was frightened. She rushed to Zhong Yan's side and hugged her shoulders tightly to protect her.
However, how could the two women withstand it? They were just suffering together.
The coachman was trying his best to stop the carriage.
Feng Qinian's face turned pale. She grabbed Zhong Yan's wrist with one hand and held the window with the other. The tea had already spilled all over the ground, and the boiling steam rose.
"Tell the coachman to cut the rope!" Ying Hua shouted.
If the rope was cut, Princess Dong Yan would be fine, but the grain carriage in front might not be.
With a pale face, Chong Yan shouted,"Don't cut it off! Try to stabilize the horse!"
If the horses were to run around on their own, the army and provisions would be lost. It was fine if they bumped into people. They were all people who licked blood from their blades. How could they be injured because of a horse? If the grain was scattered on the ground, it would be much better.
"Ji Chongyan!" Feng Qinian grabbed the back of Zhong Yan's neck and pulled her into her arms." Are you crazy?!"”
Zhong Yan was stunned. It had been a long time since someone had dared to call her by her full name. There was a trace of friendliness and a little doubt. There was also a trace of anger in shame.
Kind, just like how his friends called him back then. Ji Chongyan, this name simply could not be mentioned here.
She was puzzled. When had he been so bold to her?
She felt ashamed. In this era, no one had ever hugged her like this. In such an ambiguous position, her face was buried in his embrace, and it even carried the smell of his spices.
She was furious. After all, she was a princess. He was so disrespectful. Moreover, he did not love her. If someone saw this, what would she do in the future? Should she seriously give him a status or think of a way to force him to leave?
Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Her body was in Feng Xiangnian's arms for a while before she suddenly lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground. Her head was protected by a pair of hands, but her thigh was in pain as if it was being torn apart.
The warm liquid was sticky and flowed onto her thighs and her gauze skirt.
Before he could make a sound, his body stopped rolling. He was in so much pain that he could not say anything.
Feng Qinian panicked. He hugged Zhong Yan and looked at the blood on her leg. The smell of blood stimulated his sense of smell, and the person in his arms was soft. His eyes were half-closed, and he did not know what was going on.
"Chongyan, Chongyan, what's wrong?”He looked at Zhong Yan's lips that were twitching because of the pain, and his heart shook violently. Say something!"
She wanted to tell Feng Qinian that she was fine, but she was in so much pain that she couldn't even open her mouth. She could only tremble and cover her thigh with one hand. She couldn't even make a sound because of the pain. She couldn't even open her eyes because of the intense pain.
"Heavy face!" Feng Qinian stretched out her hand, wanting to help her cover her bleeding wound, but she put it down awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
Looking at her increasingly pale face, she actually couldn't even speak.
In the midst of the noise, Zhong Yan felt more and more tired, and he fell into darkness.
" Mm…" Her body slowly regained consciousness. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her thigh. She was in a daze and was about to reach out to touch it when she was pulled back and pressed against the blanket.
Princess, don't touch it." A girl's voice rang out in his ear," Your wound has just been bandaged. If it's damaged, I'll be scolded to death by the imperial physician!”
He slowly opened his eyes and saw a little girl in green. Her eyes were big and sparkling, and there was a smile on her lips.
He opened his dry lips and spoke in a hoarse voice. Zhong Yan was also shocked."Where am I?"
The girl immediately brought over a bowl of water with sharp eyes. She scooped some water with a spoon and slowly put it into the corner of Zhong Yan's mouth to prevent her from choking. As she fed the water, she said,"This is Luoxi Village. The princess fainted when she came, so she didn't know.”
From the corner of his eye, he saw the sunlight coming in through the door. It was very bright, but he didn't see anyone other than this girl. He swallowed a mouthful of sweet water and felt his tense voice finally relax. He exhaled and asked softly,"Where are the others? Who are you?"
"Princess is asking about your two palace maids?”She scooped another spoonful and gently scraped the bowl twice before reaching over." They're both injured and are living in the west room."”
"Are they alright?" Hearing that the two of them were also injured, Zhong Yan was a little anxious. Their relationship was similar to that of sisters. How could she not be anxious when she heard that her sisters were injured?”
If he hadn't asked the coachman not to cut off the reins, the two of them wouldn't have been injured. It was all his fault! Zhong Yan closed her eyes in frustration.
The little girl shook her head." The imperial physician is too infuriating. Other than the princess, no one else is willing to treat him!"”
"Nonsense!" Zhong Yan suddenly opened his eyes. A sharp gaze frightened the little girl so much that her hand trembled and water splashed on Zhong Yan's face. The girl was so frightened that she immediately held the bowl and dodged. She stood at the side and looked at Zhong Yan foolishly. Her eyes were still filled with fear.
Seeing her like this, Zhong Yan smiled helplessly. There was still warm water on her cheeks that had already turned cold. It was very uncomfortable. The water flowed down her face to the back of her neck and into her hair.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not talking about you, it's the doctor who did it wrong, I'm just angry. Go call the doctor over, I have something to say to him.”Zhong Yan knew very well why the imperial physician refused to treat Ying Shu and Ying Hua. He was very proud and had always served the royal family. He would naturally not go down to treat a little palace maid in a low voice.
The girl pursed her lips and said,"Who knows where he went? But someone has already helped treat the two sisters!"”
