Chapter 235: Recuperation in the Cave
Su Qianqian turned to look at Qin Hanzhang in surprise: "Why not?"
"How is the prince's injury?" Qin Hanzhang asked again instead of answering.
"If the imperial physician treats the broken leg in time, it shouldn't leave you disabled. But if it's delayed..."
Su Qianqian frowned, a little worried. After all, she had not had time to tell Qin Hanzhang about the camp.
"There will be no delay. You were being chased and shot at, and the peak roar led me, the Prince of Peace, over. After you fell asleep, I went to check the camp and replaced the people everywhere, but I didn't know that these assassins had already been sent in.
Your Majesty ignored the advice and insisted on taking the Crown Prince and King Xiang hunting alone. After the snow fell, we went to Luming Creek, but couldn't find anyone after searching everywhere. We returned and found the bodies of the guards along the way, and then we found you. Why did you come to the hunting ground? I clearly told someone to inform you..."
Qin Hanzhang began to complain as he spoke. When he saw those men in black rushing towards her with knives, he was truly terrified. The fear made him want to stand in front of her and bear everything for her.
I vaguely remembered Shi Yan saying that love between men and women is very powerful, one can live and die for it, want to send all the good things to her, be willing to endure all the hardships for her, remember her every smile and every preference, panic when seeing her, afraid of not pleasing her, miss her when not seeing her, wish to be by her side immediately...
Could it be that he has fallen in love with Su Qianqian?
"My Lord, I came here because I received a note."
Su Qianqian took out the note and handed it to Qin Hanzhang, interrupting his thoughts. .
Qin Hanzhang took it and looked at it with deep eyes: "You actually reached out your hand to my side... Even so, you shouldn't take the risk. You know there are wild beasts everywhere, you can't be alone..."
"Beasts are not as scary as humans!" Su Qianqian retorted unconvincedly. She cleaned up the bowls and the small pot, washed them with melted snow water, and then boiled another pot of snow water.
Qin Hanzhang's eyes kept following her. Su Qianqian noticed it and turned around to ask, "My Lord, is there something wrong? Why are you staring at me?"
"You are in the Taifu Mansion... do you have to do a lot of chores? There are servants in the mansion, and you are the daughter of the first wife, why are you so skilled in doing these things?"
Qin Hanzhang asked softly.
[Am I considered skilled?] I'm a sucker, okay? What's your vision? 】
Su Qianqian rolled her eyes in her heart, but pretended to be pitiful on her face:
"That's right. When I was young, it was fine because my mother was around. She protected me. But later, my mother passed away and my sister got married in mourning. Naturally, I had to be restrained and try to please my stepmother, so I learned to do a lot of chores."
Qin Hanzhang looked at Su Qianqian with mixed feelings. Although he was not sure whether this sentence was true or not, Su Qianqian, who grew up in that kind of environment, looked like a frightened bird from afar when he first saw her, and her eyes were full of anxiety.
Perhaps it was because of that look that he jumped into the water to save her, even though they didn't know each other and there was a gender difference. Later on, he blamed himself for being nosy, but now he is glad for his action.
No matter what kind of changes happened to Su Qianqian who was standing in front of him, Aning who saved him, the daughter of Master Su whom he saved, and the woman in front of him who married him, they were all people that Qin Hanzhang wanted to protect.
"I'm sorry for making you suffer in the past, but you don't have to do these things anymore. There are not enough maids and servants in your yard, so just ask Nanny Cheng to add more." Qin Hanzhang said in a low voice.
"It's enough. As long as the people are capable, there's no need for too much. Thank you, my Lord."
Su Qianqian thanked him politely.
[If I will eventually leave the Marquis' Mansion, what's the use of having so many servants? If we can't leave, and something really happens, more people will be implicated! 】
Su Qianqian understood it clearly in her heart.
Qin Hanzhang's eyes suddenly darkened and he slowly closed his eyes.
After packing up, Su Qianqian wanted to go outside the cave to find some branches. She turned around and found that Qin Hanzhang's face was a little red. She hurried over to check if his fever was serious. She put her hand on Qin Hanzhang's forehead and actually felt that his breathing was a little fluctuating.
"What's wrong? You don't have a fever, why is your face so red?"
Su Qianqian was a little nervous. The medical conditions here were already poor, and now she was trapped in this desolate mountain wilderness. If a serious problem occurred and rescue was required, that would be the worst thing.
"Nothing..." Qin Hanzhang not only blushed, but also had sweat on the tip of his nose, and showed a slightly painful expression.
"Don't be afraid to seek medical attention. Tell us where you feel uncomfortable. If you delay, it will be a serious matter. In the future, you won't be able to go to the battlefield, and you won't even be able to walk. You will have to sit in a wheelchair and be served by others!"
Su Qianqian frightened Qin Hanzhang, fearing that he would hide his illness.
[My dear, you have arranged the first two things: eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. What about the last two items? I see you've already solved it. Now that you're happy, can you please consider other people's feelings as well? 】
The system couldn't help but teach him a lesson in frustration.
[So that’s what it is. There’s nothing to be shy about.] 】
Su Qianqian was disdainful in her heart, but her face turned red. She stood up and straightened her sleeves:
"Since there is nothing to worry about, if you want to wash your hands, you can just stay near the cave. It is cold outside, so you must cover your wound with a blanket. I am going to find some branches and firewood far away, in case I cannot leave for a while."
Qin Hanzhang turned her face inside and said "hmm", more like a shy little girl.
Su Qianqian hurriedly walked out, leaving this socially dead scene, secretly thanking her luck: [Fortunately I didn't take off her clothes, the consequences would be disastrous...]
The snow outside just covered the tops of my shoes. Because it was the first snow, the snow melted and froze as soon as it fell, and the snow later was about an inch or two deep. It was really a heavy snow.
Last night, even with the help of torches, everything around was pitch black. Today, I could see clearly that this is a valley with a gentle slope. I don't know how far it is from the landslide, or whether it is within the hunting ground.
She walked into the woods, found some dead branches and tied them together, then used a water bag to fill some water from the space. Although she heard the sound of a stream, she was not sure whether it was safe, so she did not dare to go too far.
Qin Hanzhang estimated that she had finished the last two projects by this time, so she slowly dragged the bundle of firewood and carried the water bag back to the cave. In order not to go in the wrong direction, she called Dianfeng out to lead the way.
When she saw the cave, Su Qianqian was surprised to find a row of footprints and blood in the woods.
Her heart sank, and she dropped the firewood and water bag and ran towards the cave, holding the dagger in her hand.
When she walked into the cave with a dagger in her hand, she saw Qin Hanzhang putting a rabbit on a stick on the fire. Seeing Su Qianqian's nervous look, he hurriedly asked what happened.
"Where did you get the rabbit?" Su Qianqian's face was gloomy and she didn't call him. She stood at the entrance of the cave holding a dagger. It looked a little eerie against the light.
"In the woods. Knowing that you like to eat meat, I killed one..." Qin Hanzhang explained guiltily, like a child who had done something wrong.
