Linlang's lips turned white from the cold.

Rong Lou took a quick look and then looked away. He scratched the stone with the back of the knife, sparks flew everywhere, and he scratched it again. Flames slowly rose. Lin Lang quickly covered the stone with the fuel she had prepared, and soon the fire was lit.

"It's on fire."

Linlang put her arms around Ronglou's arm, and in the light of the fire, she was as happy as a child. Ronglou looked at her profile and was dazed for a moment.

Linlang didn't care and added more firewood to the fire. She took off her coat and tried to go to the undressing building again. He was so scared that he quickly dodged backwards.

"What are you doing?" Rong Lou stared at her warily. Even though he knew that she wanted to dry clothes, this woman was too bold.

"Our clothes are soaked. It's so cold here. If we sleep in wet clothes all night, we will definitely get sick. Take off your coat and I will help you dry it."

"Just sit back and I'll take it off myself."

Linlang sat back obediently, staring at Ronglou without moving. He then took off his coat reluctantly. Linlang took one in each hand and carefully dried them.

The bamboos on the fire made crackling sounds and the flames flickered, and the atmosphere seemed peaceful and strange.

Linlang stole a glance at the person opposite her several times, but each time she just glanced once before quickly looking away.

"Say whatever you want."

Rong Lou couldn't help it. He couldn't bear to see Lin Lang's sneaky look. He was more accustomed to her previous appearance.

"Why did you save me?"

"Didn't I just say that no matter what, you are the future Princess Jing and the Princess of Dong Xuan. If you die, I will have a hard time explaining to Dong Xuan."

Linlang curled her lips. She hadn't figured it out just now, and said with a bit of disgust: "I told you, how could you be so kind as to not want me to die? It turns out you're afraid that it would be difficult to explain to my father if I died."

Linlang poked the fire with a long stick and continued, "In fact, you don't have to make amends for yourself. As long as you tell my father that I died in Xiling, he will not only not hold me responsible, but he may even hold a three-day banquet in the palace to celebrate."

Linlang's voice was low and her head was lowered so that the expression on her face could not be seen clearly. Ronglou thought about what he heard that night and for no reason began to feel a little sorry for her.

"No matter what the reason is, we have come down. The fact proves that I saved you. Lao Liu and the others will definitely come down the cliff to look for you tomorrow. We will leave this place early tomorrow morning and get out of this damn place as soon as possible."

Linlang threw away the long stick in her hand, turned the clothes over and continued to roast them.

"Don't worry. This princess always knows how to repay a favor. You saved my life, so I will never quarrel with you easily in the future. If you have anything for me to do, just tell me. As long as it's something I can do, I will never refuse."

"I just hope that you can control your words and actions in the future. I don't ask you to be a virtuous prince's consort, but at least you have to behave like a princess."

Linlang was not angry. From childhood to adulthood, everyone could say that she didn't look like a princess at all, but she was still alive and well. She didn't care what others said.

"Are you sure that's all?" Linlang stared at him strangely. "You can use this opportunity to repay me and ask me to choose a new husband. This way you can get rid of me completely. Maybe this is your only chance."

Upon hearing this, Rong Lou immediately rolled his eyes and wished he could bite his back teeth to pieces.

"Do you think the marriage between the two countries can be changed at any time? The marriage document has my name and yours on it, do you think it can be changed at any time? What? Do you still want to manipulate the Li Dynasty and Dong Xuan by yourself?"

"Besides, on the day the marriage was granted, the Emperor had already arranged for the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the wedding. Your name has been entered into the Jade Butterfly Register, so how can you change it just because you want to?"

"Then there is nothing we can do. It's your father's fault for preparing too early. Now even if I want to let you go, it will be useless."

Linlang shrugged, indicating that she had tried her best.

"In the future, I don't expect you to follow the rules and do what the Princess of Jing should do. I just hope that you will behave yourself and not do anything that will damage the reputation of the Prince Jing's Mansion. This is the greatest reward for me."

"This princess will try her best."

The two were speechless for a moment. Fortunately, the clothes were almost dried. Linlang threw Ronglou's coat to him, stood up, walked to the side and sat down against the stone wall, then covered herself with the coat, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

"The temperature in the cave is too low, it's best not to sleep."

Linlang opened her eyes and looked at Ronglou. She wanted to say something but didn't. Finally, she glared at him, stood up and walked out.

"What do you want to do again?"

"I can't sleep. I'm going to see if I can find some herbs that can be used. I can't just sit here all night."

"You go out now to bring food to the wolves."

Linlang paused, then turned back without hesitation and sat down by the fire.

The corners of Rong Lou's lips twitched slightly. One could imagine how angry she was at the moment without even looking at her expression. If it were any other day, she would have exploded a long time ago.

"Rong Lou, you did it on purpose."

After a while, Linlang couldn't help but said slowly.

"Then you should tell me whether what I said makes sense or not. I am doing this for your own good."

It's so infuriating because what he said is right.

"How can what Your Highness said not make sense? Your Highness's words are golden rules, and I admire them very much."

Linlang bowed to Ronglou perfunctorily, feeling so angry that she had no place to vent.

"Speak properly and don't be so sarcastic."

"Nothing to say." Linlang rested her head on her knees, feeling more and more sleepy.

The black object fell over her head, blocking her vision. When she took it in her hand, she saw that it was Rong Lou's coat.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't trap yourself to death. I don't want to lose my wife before marriage and have a bad reputation."

If it were any other day, she would definitely take Rong Lou's coat for herself, but now he was injured and couldn't stand the cold, so Linlang threw the coat back and said, "I don't want to carry a heavy load tomorrow. You're so heavy that I can't carry you."

"up to you."

It's enough to be a nice guy once. Since the other party doesn't appreciate it, just forget it.

After a long silence, Rong Lou looked up, thinking that she had fallen asleep, and happened to see Linlang raising her head.

"Did you say Jiang Moqing is dead?"

"Just die."

Linlang's face showed no expression, "It seems that even after getting revenge, I am not that happy."

Linlang murmured to herself, her voice was very soft, but Ronglou still heard it.

"Are you worried about Princess Rong?"

"After all, Jiang Moqing is her master. In her heart, he should be like a relative. Killing a loved one should make her sadder than I was back then."

After all, she was only a ten-year-old child at that time, and she did not feel the pain of separation and death so clearly.

"It will all pass. No matter how painful it is, time will always heal it."

"That's not healing, it's just that time has passed so long that the pain has scabbed over, and there's no point in feeling the pain any more."

Rong Lou pursed his lips and said nothing. He already knew her past. He should have said something to comfort her at this time, but he was not very good at comforting people, especially women.

That night Linlang had many trivial dreams. In the dreams, the faces of her grandfather and mother, which had long been blurred, became clear again. She woke up suddenly and found that it was already dawn. She was still wearing Ronglou's outer coat, but he was not in the cave.
