The taste of human blood.

Jiang Li's eyes were stern and he gently grasped the two swords at his sides.

The outsiders were getting closer to the cabin, and the smell of blood was getting stronger.

As soon as the opponent approached the attack range, Jiang Li jumped up instantly, with his two swords flashing coldly.

The night was dark and even the moonlight disappeared.

The appearance of the person coming is unknown, only his tall figure can be seen.

The opponent responded quickly as well, also striking out with a long sword.

When the two swords collided, sparks flew and a sharp sound of fighting was heard.

Jiang Li's face changed slightly. The opponent's sword was very powerful, and she actually suffered a loss in the first move.

And then, the opponent seized the opportunity and attacked vigorously.

Finally, the sword was placed at her neck.

Jiang Li looked gloomy and confused, and she looked at the other person.

He stopped at this moment. Wasn't it the emperor and Jiang Tan's order to kill her?

The next moment, a familiar voice was heard.

"help me."

Chu Ninghan!

Jiang Li’s pupils widened. How could it be Chu Ninghan!

How did he get here?

Is it a coincidence or...

In just a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Li's mind.

But before she could figure out what was going on, the sword in Chu Ninghan's hand fell to the ground with a clang.

And he fell straight towards Jiang Li!

"Prince Yong!"

Jiang Li subconsciously dropped the sword in his hand and raised his hand to catch Chu Ninghan.

He was covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was his own or someone else's.

It was really embarrassing.

No hesitation at all.

Jiang Li brought Chu Ninghan into the cabin.

The lights were lit, allowing Jiang Li to see Chu Ninghan's current appearance clearly.

His face was as pale as gold paper, and the black and red silk ribbon around his eyes had become loose.

Most of his black suit was soaked with blood, his chest was wounded by a sword, his clothes were torn and bloody.

In addition, the clothes on his limbs were torn by swords and knives, leaving minor wounds.

Jiang Li gritted his teeth and immediately started to treat his injuries.

Although she studied poisons, medicine and poison are inseparable.

It is of course possible to temporarily treat Chu Ninghan's knife wound.

In addition, Chu Mingzhao told her to use all the medicine and treatment items she brought with her.

By the time I had dealt with Chu Ninghan's affairs, the sky was already turning light.

A ray of light shone into the cabin, and the unconscious Chu Ninghan actually regained some consciousness.

"You are... Jiang Li..."

Chu Ninghan was in a daze, as if he had really seen Jiang Li.

Jiang Li pursed her lips and didn't intend to speak.

She gathered up the makeshift quilt she had made, stood up and wanted to leave.

But even though Chu Ninghan was so seriously injured, his speed was still extremely fast.

The moment Jiang Li stood up, he grabbed Jiang Li's hand.

"Jiang Li!"

His voice deepened a bit.

Jiang Li frowned, afraid that it would affect Chu Ninghan's injuries.

He stood there stiffly, lowering his voice and deliberately changing the tone of his voice.

"Your Highness has recognized the wrong person."

Chu Ninghan probably didn't want to see her, and was even more unwilling to owe her anything.

It shouldn't be her who saved him at this time.

She was not the only woman who took part in the hunt this time. There were also some noble ladies from military families and their maids, as well as women who were specially sent into the mountains.

Chu Ninghan is blind, so he certainly wouldn't be able to recognize her just by the voice.

Besides, he had forced himself to come here last night, and his mind was not very clear. He must have forgotten the details of the fight between him and her.

Chu Ninghan pursed his lips slightly, and his face turned a little paler.

But he held Jiang Li's hand even tighter, with no intention of letting go.

He raised his lips and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Jiang Li said: "I am a commoner who depends on the nobles. My name is humble, so I won't pollute your ears."

It is definitely not possible to make up a story about someone now. You can hide it for a while but not for a lifetime.

As soon as she goes out, Chu Ninghan will naturally find out that she is lying.

The identity of a commoner who is attached to aristocrats is very good, and most of the people who come from military families are like this.

No one knows their names.

After all, according to the custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, commoners would abandon their original names and surnames when they became disciples of nobles.

"How to call it?"

"Your Highness, please call me whatever you want."

Jiang Li's answer was flawless.

No matter what name she said, her identity might be exposed.

Chu Ninghan was silent for a moment and held Jiang Li's hand tightly.

"Where are you going?"

"Your Highness is seriously injured and needs to rest. I dare not disturb Your Highness's rest any longer."

Jiang Li tried to pull his hand out, but failed.

Chu Ninghan's hands were like iron hoops, holding her tightly.

"Don't leave...stay..."

Chu Ninghan seemed to be losing consciousness again. He said this sentence in a halting manner and then fell silent. He also slowly loosened his grip on Jiang Li's hand.

Jiang Li lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Ninghan, his expression was hard to tell whether it was more of nostalgia or helplessness.

She sat down again and closed her eyes to rest.

The corners of Chu Ninghan's lips seemed to rise slightly as he fainted, but upon closer inspection it seemed like an illusion.

Two shallow breathing sounds were heard in the wooden house until dawn.

When Chu Ninghan opened his eyes again, everything in front of him was still blurry.

But there is a familiar delicious taste between the nostrils.

It tastes like fish soup.

He had clearly never eaten it before, but he felt strangely familiar with it, and was sure that the fish tasted good.

"Your Highness is awake."

Jiang Li brought the fish soup into the cabin and looked straight into Chu Ninghan's eyes.

After Chu Ninghan woke up, he actually took off the cloth covering his eyes.

However, Chu Ninghan's eyes were lifeless, and only 70% of the astonishment remained.

Jiang Li's heart trembled.

The little brother in her memory had his face covered, but his eyes were bright and sparkling.

But now...

Jiang Li pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth, trying his best to suppress the murderous intent rising in his heart.

Chu Ninghan lost his eyesight eight years ago. If nothing unexpected happens, it must be related to the emperor.

If Chu Ninghan hadn't met her last night, he would have been in great danger.

"You didn't leave."

Chu Ninghan blinked, and a look of surprise appeared on his usually icy face.

It was obvious that Jiang Li poisoned him last night and made him unconscious.

She had already saved him, so she could just ignore him and leave.

Jiang Li doesn't want to reveal his identity, so this is the best way.

But she stayed anyway.

Chu Ninghan's throat moved a few times, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Why don't you leave again?"

"Save him as much as you can. Your Highness is seriously injured. If I leave, and something happens to Your Highness, I will have worked in vain."

Jiang Li took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "Your Highness must be very hungry. I made some fish soup."

When I was in Qingyang, fish was the easiest thing to obtain.

She often made fish soup, and the little brother liked it very much.

The fish here are bigger and more delicious, and the fish soup made from them is even better than in Qingyang.

However, I don’t know if Chu Ninghan still likes fish soup after so many years.

Chu Ninghan sat up, raised his hand that was wrapped in the medical gauze, and looked at Jiang Li.

"I can't see and one of my hands is injured. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, young lady."
