After scraping off the scales and removing the internal organs, the fish was roasted on the fire. The charred fish meat gradually turned into a milky white color, and then gradually turned into a light golden yellow. After the fresh fish meat was roasted, Fu Huaichu actually took out a small bottle of salt from the pile of things behind him.

Su Zhiruan was surprised, "You brought salt with you when you went out?"

There's something wrong with bringing salt with you when you go out.

"It's not mine. It was left on the carriage by the coachman." Fu Huaichu naturally didn't carry salt with him, so he sprinkled some on the fish.

Su Zhiruan immediately understood that for a job like coachman which requires hard work, it is normal to have some emergency supplies.

"Who was the assassin this time?" Su Zhiruan was sitting next to him. Thinking of the driver who was killed by the assassin, she thought of Fu Huaichu who was lying unconscious in the woods covered in blood. "I saw you in the woods at that time. You were seriously injured at that time. Is the assassin this time..."

"Well," Fu Huaichu seemed to have thought of the scene when he was being hunted before. He was silent for a moment and continued, "These assassins should be the remnants of the previous dynasty. Three years ago, the forces behind them were not small. At that time, I was careless and walked alone without an entourage. I was discovered and seriously injured."

Su Zhiruan roughly understood what these remnants of the previous dynasty were from the plot.

This dynasty started with Fu Huaichu's grandfather's generation. The emperor of the previous dynasty was a tyrant. He was extremely licentious and killed people like flies. He drank and enjoyed himself. He mobilized the army and wasted the people's money and labor. The people suffered terribly. Countless gangs who wanted to rebel had already appeared among the people.

Fu Huaichu's grandfather was a king of a different surname who held great power on the border at that time. He had sworn allegiance to the previous dynasty until death, but when he returned with great military exploits, there were only a few of his family members left. Only his youngest son, Fu Huaichu's grandfather, was still alive.

His grandfather could not bear such a deep blood feud, so he rebelled and proclaimed himself king.

For the people, it doesn’t matter who is the emperor. As long as he can make the people live and work in peace and contentment and lead a worry-free life, he is a good emperor.

Grandfather Fu Huaichu had an excellent reputation on the border, so he was naturally supported by the people.

After he came to power, he used a series of iron-blooded measures to directly change the dynasty and became a wise ruler.

This is also the reason why Fu Huaichu's parents, the current emperor and empress, are very easy-going.

As for the tyrant's lineage, they still wanted to return to power, but they found that the people did not support them at all, the court officials surrendered, and the three generations of the Fu family were all shrewd and capable rulers. Under such conditions, the tyrant and his group could only think of another trick, which was to assassinate Fu Huaichu.

Su Zhiruan learned part of it from the plot and part of it from Fu Huaichu's words.

"Don't worry, Ruan Ruan," Fu Huaichu seemed to see her worry, "These people are nothing to be afraid of. Three years ago, when I found that Sujia Village was burned down, I thought it was them who did it, so I spent some effort to destroy this organization. Father also did a lot in secret."

"Are these the ones who escaped from the assassination organization?" Su Zhiruan thought of the assassins yesterday. "Are they the ones who escaped at the beginning?"

"Yes, these are the last survivors." Fu Huaichu nodded.

When he returned, he saw the broken walls and ruins all over the ground, and he was filled with anger. He thought that this was the work of the tyrant's remnants, so he directly took action to wipe out the entire group of people. He originally thought that the tyrant was dead and these escaped warriors would not be loyal, but he did not expect that they would choose to take action at this time.

His eyes turned cold. If his woman and two children were harmed in any way, he would make these people suffer a fate worse than death.

Let them die without a burial place.

…

After Su Zhiruan understood the general situation, he ate the fish with Fu Huaichu. The taste was not very good, but for their current situation, this was the best treatment.

After eating, they walked around the area, and Su Zhiruan unexpectedly discovered wild rabbits running by from time to time.

The bottom of the cliff is sparsely populated. No one comes here at all, let alone hunters hunting. There are many animals here.

But it is winter now, and only small animals like hares are walking on the ground. They are not afraid of people. When they see Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu walking back and forth, they huddle to one side with their long ears erect, looking particularly cute.

After observing for a day, the two of them did not find an exit, not even a path. The grass here grew very well, and even though it had turned into hay now, it was still half a person's height.

As night was about to fall, Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu each took some food and prepared to go back.

The original owner studied medicine. She received the original owner's memories and had a certain ability to identify herbs and the like. She found some herbs that were useful to them, as well as wild potatoes. The potato vines had already withered, but after digging the ground, several round potatoes were revealed.

At first, Fu Huaichu doubted whether this was edible. Although Su Zhiruan also doubted it, she decided to take it back with her and let the system identify whether it was poisonous or not.

Before returning to the cave, she picked up the two rabbits and held them in her arms.

The rabbit struggled for a while, stared at Su Zhiruan, but finally lay obediently in her arms.

In the evening, after they had a simple meal, they boiled some river water and wiped their faces with it.

Su Zhiruan braided her hair into eight braids in the morning and didn't unbraid them even when she went to bed.

After eating and drinking, they lay down together. After living at the bottom of the cliff for a day and two nights, the relationship between them became more peaceful and closer.

Half of the cave allows you to see the sky outside, and at night, snowflakes begin to fall again.

"It's snowing again," Fu Huaichu hugged her from behind, "I don't know how long we will stay here."

"Maybe soon." Su Zhiruan sighed deeply, as if he wanted to remember this moment.

Only at this time can you relax completely, without having to worry about the mundane world, going out for social events, or worrying about making money to support your children.

Such tranquility is even more rare, especially for them.

Fu Huaichu is the crown prince of a country, so it goes without saying that he has to deal with a lot of official duties on a daily basis.

She also needs to run those shops and plan activities all day long.

If her sixth sense was correct, they would probably leave here within these two days.

"It's so hard to get some free time like this, Ruan Ruan, do you want to..." His voice was clear and if you didn't listen to the content, you might think he was a gentleman.

But this time, Su Zhiruan did not refuse. She turned around and put her backhand on his chest, "Do it."

She spoke lightly, but in the reflective snowy night, when Fu Huaichu turned over, he saw her eyes as bright as stars.

In the silent and snowy night, at the bottom of the deep cliff where only the two of them were, they were doing it fiercely.

The hot steam was rising, like breaking ice, making a tiny crackling sound; the rivers were melting, making shallow, intermittent sounds of water. If you listened carefully, you could hear an echo.

The two rabbits that were jumping around were now tired and curled up together to sleep. (End of this chapter)
