Immediately afterwards, Lu Wan picked up her pen and wrote out the contents of the letter she read without missing a word. She put away the map and the letter and handed them to Su Cheng.

Su Cheng took the letter and map and walked out. Lu Wan shook his sore arm, which suddenly relaxed, and there were aches all over his body.

Soon, the door was opened again, and Qiaoer walked in from the outside, holding a box of ointment in his hand.

"Miss, don't sleep yet. I was just worried about whether you would wake up, but I forgot that you were still injured. Mr. Su was very considerate and gave me some ointment, and I helped the lady treat the wounds on your body."

Lu Wan didn't want to move, so she lay on the bed and responded, letting Qiao'er apply the medicine to her.

Lu Wan closed her eyes, but she was no longer sleepy at this moment.

"Qiao'er, how did you find him?"

Qiao'er's hands didn't stop, and her little mouth began to describe how she met Aji and how Su Cheng took them out of the city. At the end of the story, she sighed again.

"Miss, I think Mr. Su is a cold-hearted person. Those unpleasant words he said on the road were just to make you retreat. As soon as he heard that something happened to you, he ordered someone to look for you without saying a word. .”

"When he used his hands to test your breathing and saw that you were still breathing, his face immediately softened."

"I heard that Aji said that the medicine he gave you was given by the Crown Princess. I heard that it was a life-saving medicine for Young Master Su at a critical moment. He took it out for you without hesitation."

The night in the countryside was very quiet. Although the voices of Lu Wan and Qiaoer were small, they inevitably reached Su Cheng's ears.

The scene of Lu Wan drawing pictures appeared in his mind. He had always thought that Lu Wan was a petite and willful boudoir lady with a little bit of cleverness. But today he found out that such a woman had some real talent and learning. Just like her With a photographic memory, it’s no wonder the Lu family’s business has grown so much in recent years.

The next morning, when Lu Wan woke up, her body hurt as if she had been run over by a carriage. She lay in bed for a long time not wanting to move.

The sound of two people talking was heard outside the house. Lu Wan got up and walked to the window. He saw Su Cheng holding a pheasant in his hand and stuffing something into the hand of the owner of the yard.

Soon the owner of the yard took the pheasant and walked into the kitchen with a smile on his face.

During lunch, Qiaoer helped the peasant woman in the yard bring breakfast to the dining table.

The peasant woman looked at Lu Wan with a smile, rubbed her hands on her apron, and then carefully wiped Lu Wan's chair.

"Don't be offended, Miss. There's nothing delicious in this country place. It's all just plain food. Miss, you just have to make do with it."

Lu Wan smiled: "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. I'm used to these kinds of food."

While the two were talking, Su Cheng walked in from outside and sat down at the table.

Seeing this, the peasant woman hurriedly said, "There's still soup simmering in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you."

Soon, the peasant woman came in with soup, and she could smell the aroma of chicken from afar.

"This is the pheasant that the young master specially went to the mountains to catch in the morning. I heard that the young lady was injured. This game is the best way to replenish the body. The young master is very kind to the young lady."

As soon as the peasant woman said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more subtle.

The two of them stayed overnight late last night, and they were generous, and Lu Wan was still injured. In the eyes of others, they thought that she was a mandarin duck who was beaten by her parents and escaped from marriage to them.

Su Cheng smiled, added a bowl of soup, pushed it in front of Lu Wan, and said, "You are weak. Drink more of this soup to replenish your health."

Seeing that he didn't explain, Lu Wan didn't know how to speak, so she simply didn't speak.

Su Cheng asked Aji and Qiaoer to sit down and eat together, and soon the four of them finished their breakfast.

When Lu Wan came out of the room, he saw Su Cheng standing in the yard, looking up at the camphor tree in front of him.

Although it was already winter, the weather in the south was warm, and the camphor trees were growing luxuriantly, without the decay of winter at all.

Lu Wan walked over and said to him, "What are Mr. Su looking at?"

Su Cheng heard the noise and turned around to see her. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. The weather in the south not only nourishes people, but even the trees grow lusher than those in the north."

Lu Wan and Su Cheng had met so many times, and this was the first time that she saw that he didn't have a cold face towards her, and her mood improved inexplicably.

She looked at the camphor tree in front of her for a while, then turned to Su Cheng and bowed solemnly: "Thank you Mr. Su for last night. There is no way I can repay you for saving my life! When I return to the capital, I will definitely report it to my parents and I will come to thank you!"

Su Cheng raised his hand to give her a virtual support: "Miss Lu, you're too polite, but it's just a small effort, so there's no need to give this big gift."

Then he smiled calmly and said: "Speaking of which, you helped me. If you hadn't gone deep into the wolf's den and stolen the map, I would still be racking my brains in Yucheng."

Lu Wan bit her lip, raised her eyes and said, "Actually, there is one more thing, I don't know how to say it."

Su Cheng saw her complicated expression, it must be something important, so he hurriedly said: "But it doesn't matter!"

Lu Wan's eyes moved slightly and he whispered: "When I was in trouble, Yan'er happened to find out and wanted to save me. In fact, King Xu didn't want to kill me, but Yan'er called Situ Yu in desperation, and he attacked me. Killing intention!"

Su Cheng stared at her and said, "Situ Yu, did you hear that correctly?"

Lu Wan nodded and said, "I won't hear wrong, and I heard it very clearly, it's Situ Yu, but the person in front of me is clearly King Xu, why did Yan'er call him Situ Yu."

Su Cheng's expression changed: "Is there something fishy about the fire in the Third Prince's Mansion? Could it be that it was not King Yu who died, but King Xu? Then the person who set the fire..."

Su Cheng didn't say the next words, but Lu Wan already understood it. She couldn't help but clenched the handkerchief in her hand and looked at Su Cheng nervously.

"If this is the case, then Li Jing is a conspiracy. He may have planned it for a long time, and the soldiers and horses accumulated in Yucheng are a potential disaster."

The fire in the third prince's residence came out of nowhere, and now Lu Wan's words "Situ Yu" have made the truth that was burned in the fire surface again.

No wonder...no wonder he was so impatient to kill Xiao Feng.

The sun was at its peak in the morning, and the sunlight cast mottled light and shadow through the gaps in the camphor trees.

Su Cheng raised his eyes and looked at Lu Wan: "You must not mention this matter to others, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. I have already given the drawings you gave me last night to someone for verification. We have limited manpower. The place is very close to this village, and I plan to go and check it out myself at night."

Lu Wan pursed her lips and said, "I...can I go with you?"

Seeing Su Cheng looking at her with questioning eyes, she was afraid that he would misunderstand her again, so she hurriedly said: "I...I'm just a little scared. It's remote here. If something happens, I..."

"Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble. I will follow you and whatever you say will be yours!"

Su Cheng asked Aji to take Qiao'er into the city. Since Lu Wan's accident in the palace, Yucheng had stepped up its precautions.

Everyone who enters the city will be interrogated, and Aji can avoid interrogation very well by taking Qiaoer with him.

Their people are still in the city. If Aji wants to send the news back to the capital, he has to send the message through the people stationed in the shops in the city.
