Jing Yi comes in.

"Before it gets dark yet, go to the back of the valley and find some herbs that can ward off the cold. Cook two servings and send one to Yunying," Qin Ye said.

"Yunying is accompanied by the young marquis, so I won't go over. I'll look after Yue'er."

Jing Yi nodded in understanding and went to the back valley a few hundred meters away to look for medicine.

When we first arrived in the valley, supplies were limited and it was not as convenient as Prince Chen’s Palace.

Qin Ye returned to his room, brought over his quilt, covered Yue'er with it, and covered her tightly.

The moon is about to rise:

"Princess, I don't want it. I covered myself with it. What do you cover yourself with when you sleep at night?"

"Lie down."

Qin Ye held her shoulders and said, "You can't stand the wind now, you should recover first, I will go to sleep with my mother tonight."

"Don't go to the stream anymore. Let the men do the fishing. You, a little girl, just stand by and watch."

She warned.

Concubine Tong was not there, perhaps she had not returned from catching chickens yet. Qin Ye poured a cup of hot water from a clay pot in the kitchen and handed it to Yue'er.

Yue'er held the hot cup in her hands, her palms feeling warm.

Looking at the steaming water, my eyes are a little misty:

"Princess, I didn't take good care of you, and now I want you to take care of me..."

"What are you talking about? The relationship between people is mutual. You are good to me and I am good to you. It's that simple." Qin Ye said with a smile.

Yue'er looked at the princess' gentle and kind face, and somehow her nose suddenly felt sore.

There was mist in my eyes.

The princess was very kind to her, especially very kind. She was never mean to her, never scolded her, and never said a harsh word to her. Rather than being master and servant, they got along more like sisters.

But she...

but……

There was no turning back for her.

She fell into King Li's trap, and if she didn't obey, she would die.

One wrong step, all wrong.

"Princess, you are a good person, an extremely good person... It is Yue'er's blessing to be able to serve you in this life..."

"Yue'er really likes you... really likes you..."

She held the cup tightly, heaving her shoulders and sobbing.

"I don't have parents. You are Yue'er's only relative, Princess. I really value you more than my own life..."

Qin Ye patted her shoulder gently.

Why are you crying for no reason?

When people are sick, they are at their most vulnerable state. They are more likely to speak their true feelings at this time and become more emotional and softer than usual.

Qin Ye smiled: "You are also important to me."

"princess!"

Yue'er couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.

Princess, I'm sorry!

Princess, I don't want to harm you. Everything I do is just to stay by your side and serve you forever!

Princess, I really don't have any bad intentions. I was forced to do it!

"Okay, okay, why are you crying again?"

"Princess, I...I...I love you so much...I can't leave you...I..."

Yue'er threw herself into her arms, sobbing and sobbing, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Qin Ye was a little at a loss.

"Be good, Yue'er, don't cry. You can stay by my side every day. You can come back every day after you get married. We will always be together and never separate. Don't cry."

"princess!"

Yue'er was crying, and the guilt in her heart made her cry unable to stop.

I really want to tell the truth.

But she didn't dare.

Once you say it, it's all over...

"What a picture of the deep affection between master and servant!"

Suddenly, a deep laugh came from outside the window.

A familiar voice...

Qin Ye's heart tightened and he looked up immediately. He saw a crescent-shaped white figure jumping in from the window and landing steadily. It was a familiar face, a gentle smile, a gaze as warm as spring breeze, and a slight curve at the corner of the lips.

Zong Zhengli!

Wasn't he taken to the clan house and imprisoned for life?

How do you know where she is?

How did it appear in the valley?

"you……"

She looked at him in astonishment. This was completely unexpected and she was unable to react for a moment.

The man laughed.

After not seeing her for a few days, he missed her a little.

"Do you think I won't be able to find you if you hide here?" He glanced around the clean and simple wooden house.

This valley is isolated from the world and hard to find. It is a good place away from the hustle and bustle of the world and suitable for nurturing a pregnancy. If Yue'er hadn't told him, he might have searched for her for months and still not found her.

Zong Zhengchen hid her very well.

Qin Ye stood up vigilantly, stared at the man, and asked coldly:

"Why are you here?"

Very surprised?

Surprised?

Very surprised?

Zong Zhengli looked at her with a half-smile:

"Xiao Ye, I told you that you can't run away."
