Mu Yunjin’s figure was stiff, and she stared at Chu Li, seeing that he was also staring at her, waiting patiently for her answer.
“What kind of together?” Yunjin was a little embarrassed, and she asked it stupidly. After asking, she almost wanted to bite off her tongue, and cursed herself with gusto.
Chu Li smiled down at her indulgently, still playing with her hair, “What do you say?”
“So, are you confessing to me now?” Yunjin raised her chin, her lips slightly curled, and looked at Chu Li with a smile.
Chu Li raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a smile. “Yes, I am.”
After hearing this affirmative answer, Yunjin lowered her eyes and wanted to laugh lowly, but tried to bear it, and coughed instead, “Let me consider it.”
“When this prince just wanted to take the next step, your state didn’t suggest you needed to consider…” Chu Li’s eyes flashed with a wicked smile.
“Get off!” She reacted immediately, thoroughly flushed, grabbed a pillow and threw it at Chu Li.
Chu Li went to pick up the pillow, got back into bed, and took her into his arms. ”Less trouble, lets sleep.”
Yunjin heard the words, moved over, lay down, and slid into Chu Li’s arms, leaning against him, and smiling giddily to herself.
…
…
In the morning, Yunjin felt movement near her in her sleep, so she immediately awakened, sat up, and looked at Chu Li who was already dressed.
Chu Li was startled by her sudden reaction, and frowned at her, “What’s wrong with you?”
“I have to get up and go out with you.” She stepped out of the bed and began to choose clothes from the closet.
Chu Li glanced back at her, chuckling helplessly.
After getting dressed, Xiaoju brought breakfast and was preparing to help her with her hair, but then she saw that Yunjin had already tied it into ponytails.
After drinking the porridge, Yunjin glanced out of the door. It had started to rain lightly in the early morning. It was autumn, and with the continuous rain, the weather was a bit cool.
After a simple breakfast, they went out together.
Ding Xian was already waiting at the gate of the house. When he saw them coming together, he opened his mouth. ”This early morning is like a spring breeze…”
Chu Li and Yunjin both looked at Ding Xian at the same time, with differing expressions on their faces.
Ding Xian smiled and followed Chu Li to report the situation, “His Royal Highness, the Guards sent here were called to repair the dyke to the west this morning, but the rain continued and the food brought was quickly depleted. The work has been completed. But I’m afraid I had to redeploy a batch of food. “
Chu Li nodded, and didn’t say anything, all the way to the west dyke.
Yunjin walked him, paying strict attention to the path underneath her feet, for fear of inattention and being secretly accosted by an errant mud pit. She listened to the conversation between Chu Li and Ding Xian, feeling this was just not the solution.
The three were walking westward, when they met a large army coming towards them, and they saw a carriage not far away, followed by a long line of soldiers.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the three of them. Afterwards, the carriage curtain was drawn aside, and a smiley face appeared before them.
“Brother Li, Sister Yunjin …”
The person who came was Qin Muyue.
Seeing Qin Muyue, Yunjin frowned. She didn’t expect to see Qin Muyue here in Qingzhou. What luck!…..
Qin Muyue didn’t care about her frown and proceeded to ignore Mu Yunjin. She stepped out of the carriage, with the attendant to one side coming up to help her hold an umbrella, and slowly approached Chu Li. ”It’s not very peaceful at the border, the emperor ordered me to go and guard it, so I just happened to pass through Quigzhou here. “
“By the way, before departure, I learned that the rain in Qingzhou was unabated, so the emperor asked me to bring another batch of grain as I was coming this way.” Qin Muyue said, pointing to a dozen carts of grain behind him.
On the side, some passing people saw this situation and came forward to thank her. “Vice General Qin, you are such a meritorious woman. Not only have you won so many victories, but now we have you to solve our urgent needs.”
“No need to be polite, this is the duty of a general.” Qin Muyue raised her lip corner, and looked at Mu Yunjin as if she was seeing through her.
At this time, Yang Wanshan hurried to hear the news. After seeing Qin Muyue, he bent down low with a bow.
“No courtesy.”
“Vice General Qin came to Qingzhou and brought life-saving food to the people here. Why not stay here for a few days?” Yang Wanshan opened his mouth.
“Okay.” Qin Muyue readily agreed.
Mu Yunjin glanced sharply and pressed her sleeves. “Aren’t we going to the west to see the dyke?”
“Let’s go.” Chu Li naturally embraced her waist and went to the west dyke.
Qin Muyue watched the two pass by in front of her, pursed her lips, and told the people on the side, “You will distribute the grain first, and I will go and see the disaster situation here.”
After that, Qin Muyue trotted forward to follow, “Brother Li, wait for me.”
…
…
To the west, Mu Yunjin saw that the tree the child was holding yesterday had been uprooted by the flood, and the entire paddy field in front of it was also flooded.
“When I won the war and returned to the Imperial city last time, it was still safe to pass by here in Qingzhou. I don’t know how it could have gotten like this.” Qin Muyue held her hands behind her back and surveyed the situation in front of her.
Chu Li ignored her and looked at Yang Wanshan beside him. “Apart from this, is there any other flooded areas?”
Yang Wanshan shook his head and sighed. “In fact, it’s mainly the endless rain. The original flood was severe enough. Adding this continuous rain, there is no way out at all.”
“Some people were thinking yesterday. If it continues to do so, it is better to move their families to live in other cities than to wait for death in this place.”
“Yeah, on the way just now, Yangshui, a neighboring town a dozen miles away, has nothing but sun. It seems that only in Qingzhou is it raining.” Qin Muyue said.
Mu Yunjin took a breath. The situation in front of her was helpless. She simply closed her mouth and listened to each of them.
“Not good, not good!” Shouted a man from behind them.
Everyone looked back and saw a common man running towards them hurriedly. While running, he slipped several times in the mud, but he got up each time and immediately kept running towards Chu Li.
“Not good, His Royal Highness King Ning, Lord Yang, the hills on the south side of the mountain subsided and injured a lot of villagers living at the foot of the mountain. Now there are too many people injured, the doctors here are not enough!”
Chu Li heard the words, and his eyes were heavy, “Lets go and see first.”
…
…
After a while, everyone came to the foot of a mountain to the south, and saw a lot of rocks scattered on the ground in front of them. Many villagers lay in place, some hurt their heads, others hurt their legs. The ground here was red with blood. At this time, two doctors were treating the injured villagers. After seeing Chu Li and the others coming, they hurried over. “Your Royal Highness, this accident has happened, and there are so many injured people. What can be done, we are running low on medicine?”
“Is there any way to get herbal medicine?” Chu Li asked with lowered eyes.
“I’m afraid we can’t climb the hills here in Qingzhou with the way things are. We can only pick herbs in Qingfeng Mountain, which is more than ten miles away, but now we simply don’t have the manpower.” The doctor frowned.
“I’ll go get some medicine,” Yunjin volunteered, “tell me what herbs you need.”
“This is absolutely impossible, Princess, you are a body of gold, how can we have you doing such rough work as collecting herbs!” Yang Wanshan glanced at Mu Yunjin in panic.
Yunjin frowned. “This is my body. Where is it golden? Don’t talk nonsense, tell me what herbs are needed.”
Chu Li glanced at her, his eyes were a little hesitant, and pursed his thin lips, but he listened and said, “It’s okay, just tell her, it’s not a big deal.”
The doctor quickly took a medicine book out of his box, and rummaged through the pages in front of her. ”These are the ones needed. You should be able to recognize them with their distinct patterns.”
Yunjin glanced at the medicine book, seeing that the herbs had pictures , nodded, and put the book up her sleeve.
“Before it gets too late, I’m going to start.” Yunjin said, picking up a basket from one side, she was ready to head in the direction of Qingfeng Mountain pointed out to her by the doctor.
Chu Li grabbed her arm, held her shoulder, leaned over to her ear and murmured, “Are you sure you can?”
“Of course, don’t you know my skills by now?” Yunjin lowered her voice and raised her eyebrows at Chu Li. “You are here to look after the bigger picture, and I will be back soon.”
After that, Chu Li released her.
Yunjin’s figure soon disappeared from their eyes. Chu Li couldn’t be at ease, and looked at Ding Xian, “You follow.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Qin Muyue saw that Chu Li was so caring towards Yunjin, her eyes gradually darkened, and her fist slightly clenched.
…
…
Yunjin walked for some distance, and after confirming that there were no people around, she used her quiggong and quickly passed in the direction of Qingfeng Mountain.
Ding Xian, who followed her, thought that he would follow Mu Yunjin’s footsteps, but found that she had long since disappeared, so he also performed light footwork and went to Qingfeng Mountain.
When she had used her quiggong for about half an hour, Yunjin found herself at the foot of the mountain. After stopping, she looked up at the sky to see the sun.
How long has it been since she last saw it …..
Yunjin took a long soothing breath, stood in the sun for a while, drying out her wet body. She smelled the fragrance of some wild flowers from the immediate vicinity, and suddenly felt like she was standing in a holy place on earth.
But it is only a dozen miles away. Why is the weather so different?
She shook her head helplessly, took out the medicine book from her sleeve, and started to distinguish the patterns between the various plants, carried the basket and started climbing Qingfeng Mountain.
There were quite a lot of herbs there on the mountain. Yunjin climbed up the mountain for a while, and she had already picked a basket full of herbs. She only descended when the basket could no longer hold anymore.
After walking for a while, there was the distinct sound of fighting coming from the bottom of the mountain.
She paused, frowned, took a few steps forward, hid behind a big tree, and carefully observed the scene in front of her …
