In this way, Chu Qingluan and Chu Hong settled down in this simple little house.

Several months passed in a flash, and the days in the mountains were as peaceful as water.

Chu Hong's back injury had long since healed. In addition to hunting and chopping firewood every day, he also took good care of Chu Qingluan's food and daily life.

He learned how to make nourishing soup, memorized all her preferences, and even sewed a thick fox fur cloak for her to protect her from the cold at night.

Chu Qingluan's belly grew bigger day by day, and it became more and more inconvenient for her to move.

Whenever she frowned while touching her belly, Chu Hong would always hand her a bowl of warm medicinal tea at the right time, or silently massage her sore back.

"Sister, be careful with the steps."

"Sister, this fish soup has been cooking for the whole morning. Drink it while it's hot."

"Sister, it's cold outside, remember to wear more clothes..."

"elder sister……"

Chu Qingluan looked at his busy figure, feeling both warm and a little guilty.

Chu Hong should have been the wise king of Da Chu, living a life of luxury. If he had not followed her to Da Qin, he would not have accompanied her to suffer in this deep mountain.

A few months passed, and Chu Qingluan's due date was getting closer.

Early that morning, she suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain.

The baby is about to be born!

"ah--!"

A cry of pain woke Chu Hong from his light sleep. He rushed into the inner room and saw Chu Qingluan curled up on the bed, her face pale and her clothes soaked with cold sweat.

"elder sister!"

Chu Hong suddenly panicked.

Although he had learned how to take care of pregnant women in the past few months, he was still at a loss when faced with such a major event as childbirth.

He quickly followed the method Aunt Li had taught him, boiled some hot water, prepared a clean towel, and stayed by Chu Qingluan's side. His palms were sweating from nervousness.

However, things did not go so smoothly.

Chu Qingluan's contractions became more frequent, but she still couldn't give birth smoothly. Her face was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her breathing became rapid.

"Sister, how are you?" Chu Hong asked anxiously, with tears in her voice.

As the contractions came, Chu Qingluan shook her head with difficulty and was unable to speak.

Perhaps it was God's blessing, at this moment, the old doctor who had occasionally come to see them happened to pass by, and seeing what was happening, he hurried forward to check.

He took Chu Qingluan's pulse and looked at her condition, frowning.

"Oh no! It's a difficult birth! And judging by the situation, Madam is very likely pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. The birth will be extremely difficult and very dangerous!"

Chu Hong was so frightened that his legs went limp when he heard this. "Doctor, what should I do? Please save my sister and the child!"

He grabbed the doctor's clothes in a daze, sweating coldly with anxiety.

The old doctor pondered for a moment and said, "The only way now is to use a herb called 'Blood Ganoderma' to prolong her life and strengthen Madam's physical strength. However, this Blood Ganoderma is extremely valuable and can only be found on the cliffs to the west, making it extremely difficult to harvest."

Chu Hong stood up without hesitation and said, "Doctor, I'll go get it! No matter how difficult it is, I'll get the blood ganoderma!"

Without saying a word, he grabbed the bow and arrow and rope and rushed into the wind and snow.

Yes, snow had already begun to fall outside. It was the dead of winter, and the grass and trees outside were withered and desolate.

The cliff on the west side is very steep and has rugged rocks.

Chu Hong climbed carefully, and his feet slipped from time to time.

But he had only one thought in his mind.

That is, no matter what, I can't let anything happen to my sister. I must collect the blood ganoderma.

He climbed with his bare hands, and the sharp rocks cut his palms, leaving shocking bloodstains on the rock wall.

His hard work paid off, and he finally found the blood Ganoderma lucidum in a dangerous crevice.

But just as he reached out to pick it, the stone under his feet suddenly loosened.

“Crack!”

Chu Hong instantly lost his balance and fell down, his head hitting a rock hard, and he lost consciousness instantly...

In a trance, Chu Hong seemed to have had a long dream.

In the dream, he saw the deep corridors of the imperial palace. The young boy huddled in the corner of an old and dilapidated side hall, with blood oozing from the wound on his forehead. Several eunuchs tore up his books with laughter and scolded him for being an unfavored prince.

Suddenly, a clear but unquestionable child's voice sounded behind him, and the palace door was kicked open -

"presumptuous!"

A girl in a brocade dress stood against the light, with a cinnabar mole on her forehead that was glaringly red.

"Princess..."

Several eunuchs immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

The little girl didn't look at them. She walked straight to Chu Hong, took out a snow-white handkerchief, and gently pressed it on his forehead: "Does it hurt?"

Chu Hong was stunned!

"You are the prince of the Great Chu after all. How can you allow yourself to be bullied by these servants?"

"From now on, you will come with me to the Shangshufang to study, and this princess will protect you..."

The next day, his father issued an edict allowing him to go to the Shangshufang to study. Later, he learned that it was her begging for this grace after she knelt in front of the palace all night.

The scene changed, and soon the boy in the dream grew up, and was handsome and extraordinary. However, because his mother was convicted, he was demoted to Youzhou.

In Youzhou City, he was just a prince without real power, and was squeezed out by the local prefect and governor. He lived in a commoner's house, worked as a cook, and even worked as a horse slave for a powerful family.

Finally, he was able to make a name for himself in the military camp. His comrades laughed at him, "The Third Prince is working so hard, is he trying to become a general?"

He wiped the sweat off his face and looked towards the capital: "I want to be able to protect her forever."

But one day when he was about to stand on the top, news came from the capital: Princess Zhaoyang was assassinated while investigating the military rations case, and her life or death was unknown.
