The camp spreads out in a circle around the big tent in the middle. The tents are all made of round cloth and coated with a waterproof coating on the outside. They look windproof and rainproof as well as warm.
Outside the tent stood a tall man in military uniform, with thick eyebrows and a rugged face, exuding majesty and dominance. He said in a deep voice, "I respectfully welcome Your Highness."
Gu Zhen had only met the ruthless General Luo once in the court, and they had never met in private. He nodded expressionlessly to indicate that he didn't need to be so polite.
It was indeed as warm as spring inside the tent, and the biting cold wind outside could not be felt. In the center was a solid wooden table, on which were placed weapon drawings and a topographic map made of sand and stone.
Luo Wenhao asked nervously, "Your Highness, did you have a smooth journey here?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status. What should he do if something goes wrong?
When receiving the letter, His Highness repeatedly warned him not to go to greet him and told him to guard the camp well, saying that the Rakshasa Kingdom might make unusual moves.
On the way, he met Thor, the third prince of Rakshasa. When the third prince returned to Rakshasa, he would not tell the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but his other subordinates would definitely tell it. It would not be long before Rakshasa would send people to negotiate.
Gu Zhen recalled that the journey had been relatively smooth. All the secret investigations and assassinations had been quietly dealt with by Changfeng, Shitou and the guards.
"It's okay, nothing to be afraid of." Gu Zhen thought of those assassins who were discovered and taken away without even touching the bedroom where he slept. Each of them framed him and then committed suicide by biting the poison bag in his mouth.
Later, he was too lazy to interrogate them. He might as well hug Song Jiaren and sleep, unwilling to waste his time on those brainless assassins.
Luo Wenhao poured hot tea for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his family members. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was fine, he should be fine.
"This is a local specialty, barley tea."
Gu Zhen looked at the big bowl in front of him and said, "..." He was just wondering what it was used for, for eating?
I didn't expect it was used for drinking tea. No wonder the rim of the bowl, which should have been made of white porcelain, has turned yellow and stained with the color of tea. This is the result of long-term soaking.
Although the conditions in the camp are simple, they shouldn't be like this, right?
“…The conditions in our camp are a bit simple, Your Highness, please make do with it.” Luo Wenhao was a martial artist and didn’t like the small teacups that scholars used to drink tea. They were too troublesome, and it was more convenient to drink from a large bowl. He specially changed to a large bowl to drink tea, and wondered if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could get used to it.
Gu Zhen looked up at him calmly and said, "It's okay. You don't have to accommodate me. Just follow the camp's customs."
Fortunately, I don’t drink tea from a water jug, so the big bowl is barely acceptable.
As a modern person, Song Jiaren didn't even know what to drink tea with. She could even drink beer from the bottle. She picked up the big bowl and gulped it down without any pretense.
She didn't dare drink too much water in the carriage. At most, she just moistened her throat. She was afraid that drinking too much water would make her have to go to the toilet all the time. It would be too embarrassing if there was no shelter. In the past, she would run far away to go to the toilet, so far that she could not see the guards at all, and then she would quickly solve the problem. She missed the days when she sat on the toilet and played with her mobile phone in modern times.
Luo Wenhao was quite surprised by this woman. She looked so delicate that he thought she was just an ordinary female relative brought by His Highness, and he felt a little unhappy.
The legendary otherworldly Crown Prince actually had a beautiful wife with him even in exile. It turns out that rumors cannot be fully trusted.
I didn't expect this woman to be so casual in her behavior, even more bold than the average man, which is quite interesting.
“Who is this…?”
Gu Zhen looked at Song Jiaren who had just drunk a lot of wine next to him. He didn't know why she was so thirsty and didn't care about her appearance in front of outsiders.
"Song family."
Is she a concubine?
Luo Wenhao opened his eyes slightly wide in surprise. Shouldn't a concubine be gentle, considerate, and submissive?
Why are the Crown Prince's concubines different from those of other families?
Luo Wenhao nodded to Song Jiaren and said nothing more.
The room is quiet.
Song Jiaren felt unbearably embarrassed. Were they playing statues?
"Ahem, um..." Two pairs of eyes stared at her. "Is it time for dinner?"
If we find something to do, the atmosphere won't be so awkward.
Luo Wenhao shouted outside the tent, "Bring the food in."
After a while, a soldier came into the tent carrying a large tray and placed it on the table.
The food on the tray smelled delicious, but Song Jiaren didn't care. All her thoughts were on the young man in front of her.
Isn't this Su Su? !
Isn’t this the heroine?
Although she was prepared to meet the heroine, her heart still trembled.
"Oh, this is the camp's military doctor, his surname is Su." Luo Wenhao looked at Doctor Su, his eyes instantly softened, as if a thousand-year-old piece of cold iron had blossomed.
Song Jiaren marveled at the power of the plot. The heroine and the supporting actor finally met. It was supposed to be the first time they went out to suppress bandits soon. The bandits in the mountains were starving and cold and went to the nearby small villages to rob food. It happened that the plague broke out. Luo Wenhao led his troops to suppress the bandits and cured the plague together with the heroine Su Su. Su Su and Luo Wenhao returned to the camp as military doctors.
Her arrival did not affect the main storyline. The heroine still cured the plague, and the bandits also went down the mountain to rob, but she sent them to Luobian City. The heroine was still taken to the camp by the male supporting role to be a military doctor.
It seems that as long as it does not affect the main storyline, it will not cause too much deviation, and the plot will be automatically modified to only retain the general direction. The heroine and the male supporting role will meet, but the place where they meet has changed.
It’s hard to say whether Song Jiaren likes or dislikes this female lead. It may be because of their different personalities and ways of doing things.
"Isn't this the doctor who cured your Mr. Su?" Gu Zhen looked indifferently at Doctor Su who appeared in the camp. He thought that this would be the last time they would see each other in the small village, but he didn't expect to meet again in the camp. He felt a little depressed.
The woman next to him stared at Mr. Su, who had a fair complexion and delicate eyes and eyebrows, without blinking.
Humph, superficial.
Song Jiaren smiled and said, "Oh, I remember now. He looked familiar. He turned out to be my savior."
Su Su had a fair complexion, and even wearing men's clothing couldn't conceal her fresh and refined temperament. She shook her head and said, "I can't call you a benefactor. You were already out of danger by then."
I don’t know what medicine she used to suppress the fever, which allowed her to recover so quickly. The other villagers’ conditions worsened quickly, with fevers that wouldn’t subside. It took two days for them to show improvement, and only then did she feel at ease to leave.
"There's no need to be modest as a benefactor." Song Jiaren put a big hat on the heroine's head, letting her bear the name of benefactor, so that the two of them can have a connection. In the future, when she goes back with the hero and ascends the throne, maybe she can also get some credit. Eggs should not be put in only one basket. You should prepare for more and have more ways to go.
"...If you say so, then so be it. But could you please not call me benefactor and call me Doctor Su instead?" Su Su was speechless. He could not defeat this woman. If she was willing to owe him a favor, then let her do it.
"Okay, benefactor." Song Jiaren's eyebrows were curved and her face was full of smiles.
Su Su: "..." Is this woman not very smart? I can't understand what she is saying?!
Gu Zhen finished his meal in a depressed mood and moved into the tent as arranged by Luo Wenhao. The furnishings in the tents were the same, except that the simple bed was for two people. There was no difference in other aspects.
Song Jiaren has become accustomed to living with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The nights at the border are cold, and it is quite comfortable to sleep with a human-shaped heater in her arms.
Tonight seemed a little different. The soldier poured a full bucket of warm bath water into the bathtub. Song Jiaren was originally sitting by the couch combing her hair, but was called over by the sullen-faced Crown Prince to chat with him. So she could only sit at the other end of the partition, behind which was the Crown Prince who was taking a bath.
"Why don't you speak?" Gu Zhen was inexplicably in a bad mood, and his tone was stiff and cold.
Song Jiaren felt a little sleepy. She propped up her head and squinted her eyes listlessly. "...What did you say?"
"How do you feel about seeing your savior?" Are you particularly happy?
Savior?
Given the heroine's decisive style of doing things, she certainly doesn't like to have anything to do with insignificant people. She is now the concubine of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally she is an insignificant person.
Didn’t you see that the heroine looked like she didn’t want to bother with her? She was so angry that her face turned red when she was labeled as a benefactor.
"I don't have any feelings. My benefactor is very kind."
very good?
"You think he's nice?"
Is he not okay anymore?
Gu Zhen looked at the partition, his eyes seemed to penetrate it, and said, "You were saved at the critical moment of life and death, you should be moved."
Song Jiaren recalled that when she was sick with the plague, she recovered so quickly because she took the antipyretic medicine given by the third prince of Luosha Kingdom to stop the fever, and combined with the prescription prepared by the heroine, but this was all because she knew the plot. If she didn't know the plot and treated it as a common cold and fever, she might have died on the way after leaving.
This can also be considered a golden finger.
Because of her long silence, Gu Zhen thought she agreed. He slowly asked, "Do you like him?" Before she could answer, he added, "Is it because he cured the plague? Do you feel that you can't repay his life-saving grace?"
Song Jiaren suddenly perked up. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never paid attention to the heroine before. Could it be that after seeing the heroine's ability to cure the plague, he looked at her differently, and when they met again in the camp, he felt that they were destined to be together and developed a little affection for her?
Why would he say such probing words to find out her opinion of the heroine?
She perked up and cleared her throat. "She's certainly good-looking, has a good personality, and is quite talented. She was able to concoct a remedy for the plague using herbs readily available, and then not even ask for credit or reward. Such insightful people are truly rare."
After she finished speaking, she waited for the Crown Prince's reply. For example, if he agreed with her, then her flattery of the heroine would not be in vain.
But there was no movement for a long time after the partition.
Song Jiaren asked doubtfully, "Your Highness?"
What's going on?
Could it be that he was too tired and fainted in the water due to the heat?
She used to see on her phone the children who had drowned in the pool due to poor care, and she felt heartbroken every time she saw it.
Song Jiaren didn't care that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was naked, and ran into the partition in three or two steps. Because the camp was humid, dehumidifying herbs were added to the water, making the water surface turbid and unclear. She lay down beside the bucket and only saw what seemed to be a black head in the water.
Could he have really drowned?
So does she have to run?
Just as she was hesitating, Gu Zhen emerged from the water, his wet hair was jet black, his chest was exposed, and he looked at her with a frown.
