The Princess of Northern Land

Although it was the third watch, when sleepiness was at its peak, something big happened outside, and people were woken up. Lin Ziyin will definitely not go back to bed again.

Everyone in the mansion might have been woken up. Lin Ziyin went to the front yard and saw Master Huizhen and several medicine monks gathered in the front hall. The black-armored soldiers outside the courtyard were even more prepared, and the atmosphere was very tense.

The whole government has entered the first level of alert.

"Master Huizhen, how is the situation outside?" Lin Ziyin asked worriedly.

"The poor monk has asked Kong and the others to go out to inquire about the news. They should be back soon." Master Huizhen had a steaming cup of fragrant tea in front of him, and he didn't seem to be worried. "Girl, come over for a drink?"

Lin Ziyin didn't have the habit of drinking tea in the middle of the night, not to mention that she was still worried at the moment. She shook her head and refused directly. "I don't want to drink it. I'm worried that this fire will burn down people's houses."

"It's useless to worry, you can't go out." Master Huizhen glanced at her and said. The reason why Chu Suifeng let him live in the front yard was not because he was worried about the girl's safety. If he let the girl out now, he wouldn't have the courage to bear the consequences.

In fact, Lin Ziyin was not as ignorant as he thought. Worry was nothing but worry, and she had no intention of going out.

Master Huizhen observed her face and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Aren't you worried about Prince Ling?" he asked curiously.

"With the prince's skill, I don't have to worry about it." Lin Ziyin rolled his eyes and replied, shouldn't a monk have all the four elements? Why is this old monk in front of me so curious about everything?

"You're a generous girl." Master Huizhen laughed, not at all embarrassed to argue with the junior.

Under Master Huizhen's intentional interruption, Lin Ziyin's inner tension was relieved a lot.

Gradually, the noisy sounds outside gradually became smaller. At the fifth watch, Chu Suifeng finally came back exhausted.

"Get water for the prince." Lin Ziyin saw the stains on his body and quickly ordered Hongying.

Hongying hurriedly fetched water after hearing this, while Luluo hurriedly went to the kitchen to urge the cook to prepare some food for Chu Suifeng.

"Are you scared?" Chu Suifeng asked with some distress when he saw the nervous look on her face.

"No, I'm just a little worried." Lin Ziyin answered honestly.

"The enemy made a sneak attack and wanted to burn our food and grass. After Si San and Mr. Situ got the news, they had already sent people to ambush. The movement was a bit loud, but don't be too nervous." Chu Suifeng downplayed the matter.

"Weren't the common people affected?" Lin Ziyin asked.

"The warehouses storing grain and grass are far away from where the people live, so they have not been affected. However, the area near the dock was burned, so it may be impossible to sail in the near future." Chu Suifeng said.

"It's good that no one was hurt." Lin Ziyin breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Chu Suifeng's tone, this sneak attack might be quite intense.

"Your Majesty, wash your face first." Seeing Hongying bringing hot water, Lin Ziyin quickly stepped forward to help.

It's not that she learned the virtues of ancient women, but that she acted naturally because she truly cared about this man.

Chu Suifeng washed his face, took the handkerchief she handed him, and the expression on his face became much gentler, "Wait a while, you go back and have a good sleep. Before the enemy's army arrives, take care of yourself first." Recharge your batteries.”

Lin Ziyin nodded, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell the prince."

"Yes." Chu Suifeng agreed. The two of them are like an old married couple, without too many sweet words, but they can understand each other's meaning with every look and movement.
