Chapter Thirty: Naked for Warmth
Lanyue's body lost strength and swayed, unable to stand, so she took a step back, but missed the step and fell down the hillside behind her. Feng Ling hesitated for a moment, and caught his hand in time before he fell, but because she couldn't
Unable to stand firm, he was pulled down the slope and rolled across the muddy ground. Finally, he lost weight again and fell down a five- to six-meter hunting hole.
With a bang, the two of them overlapped and landed on the ground, still in the position of man on top and woman on bottom.
Lan Yue lay on top of Feng Ling's chest, looking at the woman underneath her complicatedly, and after a while she said, "Don't you want to kill me? Why did you save me?"
Fengling pushed him away and got up, with a dark face.
Who knows!
When he reacted, he hugged him and used him as a human shield...
"Physical reaction." Fengling looked away with an unnatural look on her face. After thinking for a while, she added: "I should throw you to death to save the people of Fengyang and the border officers!"
Lanyue climbed up holding her wound and sat leaning against the cave wall. She was a little weak and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Fengling turned back to look at him and sneered: "You are so smart, how could you not understand that it was you who sent people to hunt down Princess Dongxu?"
He was surprised: "What evidence is there?"
Fengling: "You transferred the Chen family back to the army, clearly intending to fight. But you chose to humiliate the peace talks after Dongxu violated the border. With our national strength in Fengyang, we will not retreat to this point. Moreover, you Lanyue
Are you afraid of losing the battle?"
He looked at her quietly, without refuting, and confirmed: "You seem to understand me very well."
Fengling didn't panic, "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. As an enemy who wants to kill you, how can you not understand?"
He said no more.
She continued: "Since you are sure to stand, you have only one purpose in inviting the eldest princess here, to stimulate this war and make the conflict between the two countries intensify and become irreversible. At first, I couldn't figure out why you would do this, but later combined with your
I understand when you promote the Chen family. You are really a gambler. You put Fengyang's safety on the Chen family, just to balance the forces in the DPRK so that you can sit firmly on the throne. For selfish reasons,
You have blocked the lives of the soldiers, you really have a hateful heart!"
"Is this how you miss me?" he asked suddenly, a dark light surging in his eyes.
Fei Ling quipped: "Don't try to shirk it. I happened to save the eldest princess today. She saw with her own eyes that the guards around you fired arrows at her. Shaohua is your personal guard and we get along day and night. If he betrays you,
, how could you keep him by your side."
"No one can guarantee that he will never change his heart. Maybe, he really betrayed me?" Lan Yue said lightly.
Hearing these words, Fengling was really shocked. Thinking of her own experience, she had to sneer and praise: "Well said, very well said! Maybe some people's hearts are made of stone, cold and heartless.
, I can’t even cover myself up, I give my sincerity, but what I get in return is a ruthlessness!”
Lanyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes to stare at her, her eyes deepening: "You said there is a blood feud between us, what is that?"
Fengling did not avoid looking directly at him and said aggressively: "Did you kill too many people and you can't even remember them?"
He looked at her quietly for a while, then looked away and looked away, as if he was lost in memories, and his voice became vicissitudes of life every time he spoke.
"I have been homeless and tortured all my life, and I have killed many people, but I have never regretted it. Only..."
At this point, he spoke with difficulty and could not breathe, "There is only one person. I am sorry for her. If God gives me another chance, I am willing to exchange my life for her."

She is safe, healthy and happy."
He turned his head to look, and saw that the cloth on her face had not been removed, and he could only see her eyebrows clearly, but that was enough.
Even if she turned into ashes, he would still recognize the person he thought about day and night.
Looking at her, the ice in his heart for many years turned into a pool of warm water.
Fengling only felt that his eyes were a little strange, but she did not see his affection. However, she was not worried that her identity would be discovered, because the face could be faked, but the body and bones could not be changed, unless this backward ancient time had advanced medical equipment.
But this is impossible. If he had doubts, he could only suspect that she was related to the former six princesses.
In order to lead him in another direction, she deliberately made up a story and said bitterly: "Is there only one? I can't see it. Five years ago, you betrayed your master and the rebels surrounded Chen Jiajun. How many innocent soldiers died in your
I was killed by the knife, and among them was my family. Because of you, my mother died violently, my father died of depression, my grandmother died of illness, and I am the only one alive in the whole family. Don’t you think you should bear the responsibility for what you did?"
He calmly said: "Since ancient times, this supreme imperial power has not climbed up by stepping on bones. I have been prepared to bear the price of the eighteen levels of hell for all the sins I have done, but because I came down alone
Hell, and let thousands of men who are in dire straits break out of their humble status, see the sunshine, and raise their faces as human beings, then all the costs will be worth it, and there will be no regrets."
"Do you think you are the only one working hard? Do you know...do you know..."
His heart trembled, and he waited quietly for the second half of her unfinished sentence with some anticipation.
Fengling took two deep breaths to suppress the surging impulse, and punched the wall of the cave made of soil, causing it to dent immediately.
What she wanted to say was that she was actually working hard to fight for this dirty and unfair society. That's why she fought so hard for that position. Her originally indifferent and Buddhist nature was suddenly replaced by
I have been forced to become a person who abandons family ties and does whatever it takes.
At this moment, she really wanted to ask: Why have you never asked me?
But it's too late, something goes wrong and it's life and death.
But these are not the same for Lan Yue. From another perspective, he never knew that she had such thoughts. It was not until everything was settled that he saw the notebook in her study. At that time
He wanted to wave his sword and ask the sky why he was teasing people like this.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he felt gloomy and lowered his eyes in loneliness.
For a while, both of them were silent, and the air pressure in the small hunting hole became lower and lower. The couple who were once in love with each other, now become this cold and hard-hearted person.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a body falling.
Fengling looked over and found that he had fainted. His fingertips moved, stiffened, and then he took them back. He looked at the pale and unconscious man indifferently and ignored him.
If you save him again, he will be a puppy!
In order to prevent myself from being too soft-hearted to care about him, I sat a little further away, facing the loess wall and closing my eyes to relax.
It was starting to get dark at this time, but perhaps the cave was too secretive, and the two of them didn't scream for help, so no one came to them. But she knew in her heart that as long as he, the emperor, was here, he would have to climb the entire mountain.
They will come too, it's just a matter of sooner or later.
But this would put her in trouble and she would have to find an opportunity to leave early.
After taking a nap, I started exploring the hunting cave. To my disappointment, the soil here was soft and difficult to climb. I slipped down after just two meters. Repeated attempts were unsuccessful.

"Aling..."
Her spine stiffened when she heard this familiar name.
She faced the wall and hesitated for a moment, then finally looked back at him.
He was still unconscious, so he walked forward and squatted next to him to help him up. His pale face turned red at some point. Seeing this, he couldn't help but secretly said, "Oh no, he has a fever!"
His eyes fell on the wound that was bleeding a lot. This was her result. But in fact, in the fight just now, although she was slightly better, she shouldn't have been injured so easily. It was obvious that something was wrong with him at the critical moment and he did not avoid her offensive.
But why didn't he avoid it?
The fingertips stayed on his waist, hesitating for a while, and finally took off his belt. The clothes peeled off piece by piece, and there was a terrible wound on the white and smooth chest. The red flesh was rolled and scabbing.
She couldn't help frowning, she never knew how to take care of herself, and she didn't know how to bandage her injuries.
With a "tear", another piece of fabric was torn off the middle coat. She chose the cleanest part, divided it into three strips, tied them into knots to lengthen them, and then bandaged the wound.
"Cold, so cold..."
After the wound was bandaged, he began to curl up and tremble again. This was the sequelae of excessive blood loss. In addition, the cave was underground, dark and damp, and if he continued to leave it alone, his life might really be in danger.
After weighing it, she no longer hesitated and took off her top, leaving only her undershirt. Then she hugged him in her arms and covered him with the clothes. The skin-to-skin contact exchanged heat and generated heat.
She wanted to kill him, but he couldn't die yet.
The person in her arms seemed to feel the source of heat, so she dug in hard, and put her arms around her waist without letting go. Smelling the faint fragrance floating on the tip of her nose, she lost consciousness, as if she had returned to the past.
He was taciturn by nature and didn't like to talk. When he was in a good mood, he would curl up his lips and smile, and when he was in a bad mood, he would ignore others. He made him unhappy several times and would not talk to her for a few days. Later, she found that as long as she hugged her
As soon as I hugged him, everything was solved. Every time he was in my arms, all he smelled was this fragrance. It wasn't much of a fragrance, and he never used fragrance. It was the smell of his homemade soap locust, added
Just a plant with a very unique smell.
In my arms was my former sweetheart. I raised my head and looked at the full moon in the small world through the hole. I felt melancholy for no reason, but I didn't know why I was melancholy.
The moon is getting higher and higher, and the temperature in the cave is getting lower and lower. Although the two hug each other to absorb the warmth, they can still feel the coldness of autumn.
Time passed bit by bit, until Fengling could no longer stay still, and finally there was movement above.
"Chen Ling!"
"Little - Ling - Ling -"
"Chen-Ling!"
"Squeak if you hear it!"
She could tell that the sound was Tang poetry.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This sister's friendship was not in vain. I still remembered to look for her. Fortunately, she was the one who found her first. If it was the emperor's imperial guards, it would be difficult for her to escape.
"Tang Shi, I'm here, under the hunting cave!" She shouted back above.
There were rustling traces of walking, and a head poked down from the dark cave entrance to look at the bottom of the cave, and asked tentatively: "Little Lingling?"
Fengling: "It's me. Do you have a rope or a cane to pull me up? Don't jump down!" She didn't forget to remind her, she was really afraid that Tang Shi would do such a stupid thing.
"Oh." Tang Shi agreed. Just as he was about to retract his head to look for the rope, he suddenly felt something was wrong with Fengling's position, "What are you holding?"
