Chapter 385 But I feel pain
Huo Zheng looked at her without saying anything.
He has been extremely worried these days.
The last time Chunzhi disappeared, he spent a whole six months searching for her, and almost turned the entire Daxing upside down.
This incident happened in Beili territory. People from the three major tribes fled in all directions. Chunzhi might encounter a rebellious army at any time, and her life might be in danger at any time.
Even if Huo Zheng himself was in danger, he would not be so nervous.
Chunzhi smiled and coaxed him, "But my Qilang, even if he is unkempt, he still has a unique sense of freedom and unrestrainedness."
Huo Zheng was always easy to coax around Chunzhi. He could coax her into submission with just a few words. He whispered to her, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"I want some hot soup and hot rice," Chunzhi said. "I've been chewing on dry food for several days, and my teeth are almost broken."
Huo Zheng poured a bowl of hot goat milk from the pot beside him and handed it to Chunzhi, "Drink the goat milk first."
Chunzhi was hungry and thirsty. She reached out to get the goat milk. When she raised her right hand, she found that it was wrapped in white cloth like a rice dumpling. She was a little amused and said, "This..."
"You pulled the reins too hard and your handles are all worn out. I've put some medicine on you. Don't move around for the next few days." Huo Zheng looked at her with distressed eyes and fed the bowl of goat milk to Chunzhi's mouth, "I'll feed you."
Chunzhi desperately clung to the reins as she fled. Her hands were numb from the cold in the snow. With her life almost in danger, she couldn't care less about the pain. She drank the entire bowl of goat milk in one breath. Her stomach felt warm, and she smiled and said to Huo Zheng, "It doesn't hurt that much, actually."
As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Huo Zheng's eyes full of heartache. Chunzhi added, "Really."
Huo Zheng said hoarsely: "But it hurts."
He said, "Chunzhi, seeing you hurt like this, my heart aches."
Chunzhi was speechless for a moment.
"Don't put yourself in danger like this next time." Huo Zheng said, "Even if you are captured by those rebels, even if they use you as a threat, as long as you are alive and well, I will take care of everything else."
Chunzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "I've also thought about surrendering and waiting for you to rescue me."
The next moment, she raised her eyes to meet Huo Zheng's, "But I can't wait for someone to save me all my life, even if that person is you."
Chunzhi said, "Now that I can read and write, and have the good fortune to travel thousands of miles outside my home, I can't let my learning go in vain. I must at least learn to protect myself and save myself."
She did not analyze the overall situation with Huo Zheng, nor did she tell him what dire consequences would occur if she was caught by the rebel army. She just wanted to protect herself and save herself.
"Haruji..."
Huo Zheng put the empty bowl on the table beside him and was speechless for a moment.
Harue blinked, "And I was lucky. I actually escaped. I encountered so many chaotic troops along the way, but I was not caught."
She never mentioned the hardships of avoiding the chaotic army or the difficulties of fleeing in the snow, but smiled and said to Huo Zheng, "I am very lucky."
Huo Zheng said nothing, but looked at Chunzhi deeply.
Chunzhi immediately said, "By the way, you are here, but where is Yanran? How is Yanran?"
Huo Zheng said, "Liu Yan and Tuoba Ying have found Yanran and are on their way back. Yanran is fine, just a little frostbitten. She should be here soon."
"I'm glad Yanran is okay." Chunzhi heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Then, she looked at Huo Zheng eagerly and said to him, "Huo Qi, I'm hungry."
A bowl of goat milk is not enough to fill you up.
"Someone come here." Huo Zheng immediately asked someone to bring in the food that had been prepared long ago to the princess.
The sizzling roasted beef and mutton, freshly cooked rice porridge, and a few of Chunzhi's favorite dishes were placed on the table in a blink of an eye.
Chunzhi injured her right hand and had difficulty moving, so Huo Zheng fed her personally.
The maids in the Beili Royal Court had never seen a man who loved his wife so much, and they were all amazed.
Chunzhi felt a little embarrassed by their stares and said softly, "I'll do it myself."
"This isn't the first time I've served the princess like this." Huo Zheng remained calm. "Isn't the princess quite content at home?"
Chunzhi was speechless for a moment.
Forget it.
If Huo Qi is willing to serve, let him serve.
Chunzhi hadn't eaten properly for several days, and this meal seemed to make up for all the hunger she had suffered before.
Huo Zheng was afraid that she would have indigestion, so he rubbed her stomach and they talked in low voices.
Chunzhi was full and urged Huo Zheng to take a shower, change clothes and shave.
If her hand was not injured, she would have helped Huo Zheng wash his face herself.
Huo Zheng received the princess's order to dress up for the one he loves. Chunzhi sat in the tent, chatting with the maid Beili who was ordered to serve him.
The maids from Beili told Chunzhi about that day when King Chang'an and Lord Mu came like divine soldiers from heaven and killed the leaders of the three major tribes on the spot.
Later, the seventeenth prince also came back and summoned the remaining members of the royal court to counterattack the three major tribes in one fell swoop.
In a short period of time, Beili was turned upside down and then returned to peace.
Many, many people died.
Rivers of blood flowed.
The Tuoba clan of the Beili royal family was almost completely slaughtered.
These maids were almost dragged away by the people from the three major tribes to become military prostitutes.
Fortunately, the seventeenth prince came back.
Thanks to the great help from King Chang'an of Daxing.
From the maids' descriptions, Chunzhi imagined the scene of Huo Zheng sneaking into the three major tribes and killing their leaders, with wind and snow all over the sky, galloping horses and long swords, and blood reflecting the red flames.
He came from the wind and snow, standing in the blood.
The people of Beili value military power and look down on the people of Daxing who value literature. The fact that these Beili maids can praise the King of Chang'an of Daxing so highly shows how much effort Huo Zheng has put in helping Tuoba Ying quell the civil strife in Beili.
These Beili maids also had great respect for her, the Princess of Chang'an.
Chunzhi thought that no matter which country they were from, except for those who were blinded by power, most of them wanted national stability, peace in the world, and a good life.
Many people live just to live a stable life with enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear.
It's a pity that such a simple wish is so difficult to realize.
The snow outside has stopped. The sun came out today and the snow began to melt. The weather is even colder than before.
There was a charcoal stove in the tent, which warmed Chunzhi all over.
This is in stark contrast to the severe cold and hardship of the previous few days.
Her frostbitten face and hands were a little painful. She wanted to reach out and grab something, but forced herself to hold back.
The Beili maids applied the medicine on her again. While they were talking, someone rushed into the tent and threw himself into Chunzhi's arms, almost knocking her backwards.
"Sister-in-law!" Huo Yanran hugged Chunzhi tightly, "I'm so glad that you're okay. I was so worried about you. I was so scared..."
Chunzhi finally managed to stand steady. Seeing that the person who suddenly rushed in and hugged her was Huo Yanran, she reached out and hugged her back. "Don't be afraid, I'm fine, right? It's you, on the other hand? How come you released that signal arrow so soon after I left?"
At that time, Chunzhi repeatedly reminded Huo Yanran that there was only one message arrow and it must be released at the last moment.
As a result, she had just led the chaotic army away for a short distance when she saw golden fireworks blooming in the sky.
But at that time she was already on the run and could not turn back to find the little princess.
Huo Yanran said hoarsely: "Sister-in-law is determined to save me, and I also want to save sister-in-law."
