Chapter 229 Arrived in Time

The voice behind her was left behind. The wind and rain were much lighter at this time, but Su Qianqian felt that every part of her body was not her own. She just stiffly maintained herself from falling off the horse, her eyes fixed on the front.

The little white horse is indeed Princess Zhaoyang's good horse. It traveled more than a hundred miles on the mountain road at night and was still able to maintain a galloping speed, and this was even under the control of a rookie like Su Qianqian.

[My lady, please hold on a little longer, we are almost there. Don’t fall asleep, or you will freeze to death! 】

The system spoke urgently.

In order to let Su Qianqian concentrate, it didn't dare to speak along the way, but now it could feel that Su Qianqian's consciousness was a little scattered, and she even closed her eyes several times and almost let go of the reins.

[The camp where the Marquis is stationed is in front of you. You still have things to do. You have to hold on until you get home. Your mother is still by your bedside, reading her novel to you every day! 】

The system sound became louder and louder. Su Qianqian finally woke up a little and murmured through her frozen lips: "Mom..."

[Yes, your mother is looking forward to your return every day. As long as you persist and start the live broadcast project, you may be able to see your mother and talk to her...]

The system makes wild and imaginative claims.

[Really?] Don’t lie to me...] Su Qianqian asked in her heart, and bit her lips hard, and she became more sober.

[I won’t lie to you. If I lie to you, I will transform into a baby in the future. I can’t kiss, hug or lift you up...] The system made a solemn oath.

Su Qianqian's eyes lit up again, and she rushed towards the mountain road ahead...

The sky was getting brighter and brighter. The peak in front seemed to hear some sound and raised its head and let out a howl.

[It must be coming soon!] 】

Su Qianqian was excited. Judging from the sky, the emperor should not have left his residence yet. There was still time! But she couldn't catch up with Qin Yuzhuo even when running so fast. Could it be that they were also traveling in this way?

However, Su Qianqian did not see the camp in front, but heard the hurried sound of horse hooves behind her, someone was catching up!

There was no other way but to grit her teeth and run as fast as she could, hoping to get there as soon as possible before the people behind her caught up with her.

"Swoosh..." The sound of an arrow breaking through the air was heard without any warning. Su Qianqian instinctively fell on the horse's back and the arrow flew over her head.

"Dianfeng, stop them!" Su Qianqian, who was so frightened that all her tiredness disappeared, shouted loudly, not caring whether it was useful or not, and controlled the little white horse to move in a zigzag shape.

Dianfeng suddenly stopped, with its big white tail standing up and swaying behind it. It turned around suddenly, and its body changed in an instant, becoming a giant fox-faced beast with golden horns on its back. It raised its head and let out a long roar towards behind Su Qianqian!

Even though Su Qianqian's body was stiff and her senses were not very sensitive, she could clearly feel the little white horse shiver violently and run even faster!

There was no sound behind, and Su Qianqian concentrated on moving forward, but not long after, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the mountain road ahead.

[No way, there are still people blocking it?] Su Qianqian wanted Dianfeng to do it again, but when she turned her head, she saw that Dianfeng had turned back into a puppy, holding his head high and showing off proudly.

[Don't count on this guy. It's already not easy for him to explode his little universe. He's just a little beast whose hair hasn't even grown fully...]

The system's last sentence was in a small voice.

Su Qianqian felt a little desperate. Was she going to die here?

Suddenly, two horsemen turned around on the mountain road. Su Qianqian gritted her teeth and took out a dart to prepare for the fight, but she found that the person in front was Qin Hanzhang!

The two horses soon met at full gallop. Su Qianqian was really afraid that she was dreaming. She sat on the horse in a daze without moving. Qin Hanzhang jumped off the horse and ran to her side.

"Ah...Qian, why are you here?"

Seeing Su Qianqian soaked by the wind and rain, with purple lips and a blue face and looking haggard, Qin Hanzhang was shocked and distressed. He reached out to hold Su Qianqian's waist, lifted her up and carried her off the horse.

But Su Qianqian couldn't stand on his feet and fell to the ground softly. Qin Hanzhang hurriedly hugged him in his arms.

"Master Su, how could you be so useless...did you run in the rain all night?" The Prince of Ping, who was following behind, changed his sarcastic tone to serious.

"Hurry... don't let the emperor go hunting... The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has recently observed a celestial phenomenon that it will snow heavily today... Hunting is extremely dangerous..."

Su Qianqian uttered these words intermittently and then fainted in Qin Hanzhang's arms.

Qin Hanzhang's face was gloomy. He held Su Qianqian in his arms and placed her on his horse's back, galloping back to the camp.

Prince Ping followed Qin Hanzhang in silence.

Wrapped in warmth all over, Su Qianqian felt so comfortable that she wanted to hum, but the empty feeling in her stomach made her open her eyes.

"You...you're awake. The doctor said a warm bath would be the best, but there aren't any trustworthy maids here..."

Qin Hanzhang's voice came from the side. Su Qianqian was startled and instinctively wanted to cover her body, but she found that she was sitting in the bathtub in her underwear and could not see anything clearly.

Following the sound, she saw Qin Hanzhang's face and ears were red. He was sitting on a low stool with his back to her. In the bathroom, besides the one she was bathing in, there was also a bathtub filled with water.

"Thank you, my lord..." Su Qianqian wanted to say something in return, but found that her voice was very hoarse and unpleasant.

"Don't talk. I've already changed more than a dozen buckets of water, and you've been sleeping the whole time... If you still have some strength, change your clothes first. I'll be waiting for you outside the bathroom. The food will be kept hot."

Qin Hanzhang put the bath towel on the edge of the tub, got up and went out.

[It seems as if you have suffered a great loss just by looking at me. My figure is such that I look thin when I am dressed and have muscles when I am undressed... I look thin even when I am undressed! 】

Su Qianqian curled her lips and moved her arms, only to feel as if they were tied with a dozen bricks, painful and heavy.

[If you want to help someone to the end, you should wipe me clean and change my clothes... You can just close your eyes, you don’t know how much pain I’m in...]

Su Qianqian propped herself up from the bathtub and was about to take off her underwear and wipe her body when the bathroom door opened again. Su Qianqian screamed in fright and covered her body with a bath towel. Then she saw Qin Hanzhang coming in with a black silk band covering his eyes.

"Let me help you. You've been riding your horse all night and you don't have much strength left."

Qin Hanzhang approached the sound and stretched out his hand: "Cotton cloth."

"No, no, I can do it myself, so I won't bother you, sir..."

Su Qianqian was so scared that she quickly turned her back, wiped herself a few times with a bath towel, and hurriedly changed into the underwear prepared on the wooden rack.

After she was dressed and was about to go out, Qin Hanzhang came over, picked her up, and carried her accurately towards the bathroom door. After they left the bathroom, he put her on the bed in the outer room and then untied the silk ribbon.

Qin Hanzhang carefully dried Su Qianqian's hair with a cotton towel and asked someone to bring in food.

While eating the hot meat porridge, Su Qianqian felt like she was really alive again. Her stomach was full and she had strength. She asked what time it was, but it was snowing.

"It's already noon, and it hasn't snowed yet. The emperor has issued an order that if it still doesn't snow in half an hour, we can go into the mountains to hunt."

Qin Hanzhang said in a deep voice while feeding her porridge.
