Chapter 9
Lingyao's heart warmed, there were ferocious beasts in the forest, and there was a heavy rain outside just now, he was guarding the entrance of the cave like a door god, his body was tall and straight, like a bronze cast.Thinking that she had had enough rest and should change, Lingyao called his name: "Duan Xiuran?"

Seeing that he didn't respond, Lingyao got up and walked towards him: "Duan Xiuran?"

The man turned a deaf ear, so Lingyao approached and lightly poked his shoulder, obviously it should have been cold on this rainy night, but it was scalding hot.And it seemed that he couldn't bear this light finger at all, and he fell towards the stone wall all at once.

"Duan Xiuran!" Lingyao quickly supported him, not caring about the faint screaming pain in her knee, and quickly touched his forehead, which was a little hot.

"You have a fever? Why did it rain a little..." She was talking to herself, but suddenly saw the wound on his arm that had been soaked white by the rain.Although the flesh beside the wound had already turned white, traces of blood could still be seen flowing out.

The bleeding hasn't stopped yet?If this continues, won't he bleed to death? !What's more, the tiger's claws were probably a little unclean, coupled with the washing of the rain, the wound could no longer withstand the ravages.

It turned out that Erqi's "life-threatening trouble" was not the tiger, but a cold and high fever that persisted—after all, under such circumstances, it was really life-threatening.

Lingyao just felt a mess in her head.

Pulling off the riding clothes that she had liked for a long time, Lingyao smashed the Panax notoginseng in her pocket with a stone, then applied it to his wound, and simply bandaged the wound with pieces of clothes torn into strips. Lingyao saw She frowned at him and roughly calculated the time - Yuqiao and the others were coming soon, right?
Duan Xiuran was looking for this cave to shelter from the rain, and she didn't know where it was.Seeing Duan Xiuran who was burning badly, Lingyao hurriedly called Erqi: "Two seven two seven! How long will it take for us to be rescued?"

"Host, I can't tell you this!" Erqi's voice was still crisp, in stark contrast to the current situation.

Lingyao sighed: "Then, can't you tell me where there are herbs that can reduce fever?"

"Host, since it's nonsense, stop talking about it. Er Qi also has to rest, and it's midnight." Er Qi even yawned as he spoke.

Lingyao rolled his eyes and held back his anger: "Okay, Erqi, can you tell me if there are any springs, streams or rivers nearby?"

"You can have this!" Erqi said, "You can see a small stream within half a mile to the northeast!"

"Okay, hurry up and sleep!" After finishing speaking, Lingyao blocked it.

She tore off her clothes again, Lingyao just lamented that luckily the clothes were made of good material, and trotted towards the direction Er Qi said.

It was cold and dewy at night, and most of the vegetation was knee-high. Fortunately, the creek was not far away, otherwise she would not have dared to leave Duan Xiuran here alone.

It's just that the forest was too dark. Lingyao accidentally tripped over the vines on the ground and fell to the ground. However, she had no time to care. Instead, she quickly dipped her clothes into the water and trotted back.

He folded several layers of cold cloth and put it on his forehead, but after a while, the cloth soaked in the cold stream became warm.

Lingyao sighed, the pain in her knees was so dense that she couldn't avoid it, but she had no choice but to tear off another piece of material and apply it to him alternately.

Her knees hurt as she walked back and forth. She didn't know whether it was because the road at night was difficult to walk, or because she had a problem with her knees and was not able to walk smoothly. During this short distance, she actually fell more than once or twice.

Lingyao felt that she was exhausted, but she knew very well that if she fainted, she would be rescued by Yuqiao and the others sooner or later; but Duan Xiuran's high fever did not go away, and he might never wake up again.

Lingyao hugged her painful knee tightly, her nose was sore, she didn't know why, but when she thought of him dying... she felt very sad.

Although she has acted cunning and domineering all these years, she was doing it for his own good. Although he had always treated him coldly, at the moment when she killed the fierce tiger, she collapsed on the ground—she was also afraid of the huge monster, and she also She was afraid that a miss would cost them their lives, so she didn't dare to make a single mistake, but when she finally succeeded, she was stumped by the bright red eyes and the pungent bloody smell.

She was disgusted, she was afraid, she was helpless...but he hugged her.

At that moment, the cold world suddenly felt warm—it was his body temperature.

Although Lingyao couldn't remember anything clearly, when she saw Duan Xiuran and smelled his scent, she felt extremely familiar.And that name, Yue Heng... She thought, maybe she and Duan Xiuran knew each other in the previous life, right?
She didn't want him to die, not just to get back her memory, but also because he was Duan Xiuran.

Lingyao stood up unsteadily, but heard the raving in his dream: "Don't, don't... let me out..."

Lingyao was taken aback, why... he is the most honorable son of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, why does he seem to have suffered some inhuman treatment?

The corner of the skirt was caught by something, Lingyao withdrew her thoughts, and slowly squatted down.

Her body was cold, but Duan Xiuran's whole body was hot, and he subconsciously moved closer to a cooler place.He lay next to her and hugged her slender waist with almost all his strength. The murmurs in his mouth gradually disappeared and were replaced by his gradually steady breathing.

Lingyao can't move, but that's all she can do now.

In this place where you can see the stars when you look up, he has nothing to do with her identity and status, misunderstandings and prejudices, past and future, only Zhao Lingyao who is holding Duan Xiuran for warmth, and Duan Xiuran who is relying on Zhao Lingyao to cool down.

In the palace, the heavy rain had just stopped. The woman in peacock green palace clothes looked outside, stood up and saluted: "I have been harassing you for a long time. Now that the rain has finally stopped, I will take my leave first."

"It's okay," Concubine Hui under the lights had a look of nobility on her face, "Wan Yin, you haven't been in the palace for a long time, why are you in such a hurry to go back now?"

The lady dressed in peacock green is Concubine Hui's boudoir friend. Back then, Concubine Hui's family was prosperous, and Concubine Hui Duan's family was beautiful again, so she was sent to the palace and became Emperor Rui's favorite concubine; and her best friend in the boudoir Although it was her handkerchief, her status and appearance were not as good as hers.Xu Wanyin is just the daughter of an imperial physician, she met the princess of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion by chance, and the two hit it off very well.

Because of Concubine Hui's relationship, a person of Xu Wanyin's status actually married Dingyuanhou as his wife. Although Dingyuanhou and His Majesty have the same surname Zhao, but because of the estrangement of his blood, he immediately became a fifth servant, and his status is not as good as others The royal family was under the shade, but Xu Wanyin married him, but it was a big step up.

Xu Wanyin smiled: "As long as the imperial concubine is safe in the palace, there will always be a chance to see her again."

After saluting, she said: "It's getting late, so the minister's wife will take her leave first."

"Hey, wait a minute." Concubine Hui actually had the attitude of a daughter's family at this time, and was in a hurry.The maid next to her handed her an exquisite golden silk nanmu box, "This is the tribute yumeidai. This palace uses it very well. It was extremely rare in previous years. There are only three or two boxes. This year's New Year's Eve At that time, five boxes came all of a sudden, His Majesty bestowed all of them on this palace, presumably Wan Yin will use them and like them."

Xu Wanyin smiled slightly: "Your Majesty gave you such a wonderful gift, how can Wanyin match it?"

"Why not?" Concubine Hui pushed the box into her hands, "What is there between you and me? Thanks to your painstaking efforts to make the herbal knee pads, when Yao'er returns to the palace, her leg problems will gradually recover. .”

Xu Wanyin smiled softly: "The third princess is cute and cute, and my wife doesn't want her to suffer from illness."

She took the box of Yumeidai and saluted: "If so, I would like to thank the imperial concubine and empress."

"Well, Xinzhu, you go to see Madam Dingyuan Hou." Guifei Hui said, "The road is wet and slippery, please be careful."

"Yes." That Xinzhu is the eldest maid next to Concubine Hui, and she was asked to send it off, which shows the status of Mrs. Dingyuanhou in the concubine.

"By the way, ma'am," Xu Wanyin said suddenly, "although it's summer, it will be very cold in the morning and evening, so I have to ask the princess to put on the knee pads early."

"Okay." Concubine Hui smiled.

The two people cuddling each other in the cave finally waited for the rescuers. Yuqiao took the lead to enter the cave. Seeing the scene in front of him and the sleeping princess, she frowned and quickly woke up Lingyao: "Princess? Can you call me?" The slaves are easy to find!"

Ling Yao woke up gradually, and said: "You are finally here."

"Princess, you have suffered." Yuqiao took the cloak and helped her put it on, and then shouted outside: "Come in!"

She helped Lingyao up: "Princess, I will take you back to the palace."

"It's okay." Ling Yao said, "Go back to Pingyang Marquis's Mansion first. If I am in this state, if my father sees it, I may feel distressed for a while."

For the first time, Yuqiao didn't respond quickly, hesitated for a moment, and then compromised: "Yes."

Mrs. Sun waited anxiously for a long time before seeing Lingyao and the others come back. She was overjoyed at first, but when she saw Duan Xiuran, who was pale and unconscious, she immediately felt distressed. Lingyao, who was covered in wounds, felt her heart skip a beat, and hurriedly ordered: "Su Lin, go find the doctor!"

"Yes!" Aunt Su Lin hurried to go, Sun stepped forward to support Ling Yao, and said with concern: "Princess... what happened?"

"Princess is tired and just wants to rest," Yuqiao said, "Madam, it's better to visit your cousin first, after all, everything is because of her!"

"Yuqiao!" Lingyao scolded, but no longer had the strength to say, "Help me go to rest."

"Yes." Yuqiao replied, and helped Lingyao to her yard.

How can Mrs. Sun fail to understand?It seems that the princess doesn't want to see her, and she doesn't want to deal with Wu Bingning's little hoof right now, but hurriedly said: "Hurry up and help the prince to rest!"
