Chapter 58: Testing Each Other

When Yun Fenghuang woke up again, he felt much lighter. Not far away was a bonfire, which made the whole cave extremely hot.

Emperor Chunjia, naked from the upper body, was half kneeling by the campfire, arranging some leaves and wild fruits.

"Your Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes for a while, then slowly sat up, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How long has it been since I fainted?"

"About one day and one night." Hearing this, the emperor looked up at her a few times and breathed a sigh of relief, "Is Aifei feeling better now?"

Yun Fenghuang said it much better: "Why is Your Majesty doing this by himself? It's all because of your concubine's burden."

Just let him put it down and say he came by himself.

The emperor smiled and asked back: "Does my concubine know these fruits?"

"This..." Yun Fenghuang looked at the fruits under his hands for a while, and found that he had basically never seen them before, but she is not someone who is willing to admit that she is not good enough, so she pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty teaches concubines to be gone?"

"You're just recovering a bit, just lie down." The emperor said nonchalantly, "I'll take care of some trivial matters."

Yun Fenghuang was not a very diligent person at first, seeing that he really didn't intend to work on his own, so he stopped insisting, and sat lazily on the mountain wall, talking to him: "Your Majesty is really well-informed. Even these things in the mountains and wilds are so familiar. If I live here alone, I'm afraid I can only starve. "

The emperor said that this was not surprising: "My concubine grew up in the north and was unfamiliar with the vegetation in the Central Plains. I was in Fuyang County when I was young. Although it is not close to the imperial capital there, many of the plants and trees in the two places overlap. And every year when I go to the Qishan Palace, I will go hunting. Occasionally, when I get excited, I have to spend the night in the wilderness, and I have also identified some common herbs and wild fruits with the guards."

When he was talking, his subordinates kept going, and he threw a few unattractive-looking fruits into the bonfire, and immediately there was a fragrance with a bitter medicinal taste, "I have forgotten what this fruit is called, I just remember that there were guards I told you that adding some to the bonfire can repel insects."

In this season, there is no need for bonfires to keep warm at all. The reason why the fire in the cave is always on is not only to scare wild animals and barbecue food, but also to drive away some snakes and insects.

It’s just that the effect of the bonfire is limited after all. At this moment, the smell of medicine spreads out, and in the crevices of the rock, but hearing the rustling sound, many insects and ants flee with their families one after another——Yun Fenghuang looked at it, his face changed slightly, Subconsciously leaned towards the emperor.

The emperor laughed when he saw this: "My concubine has always been courageous, how can she be afraid of these little things that can trample countless to death with one foot?"

"Didn't your Majesty say that? I grew up in the Northland, which is always ice and snow. Where can I find these..." Before Yun Fenghuang finished speaking, he suddenly saw a centipede that was as thick as two fingers and as long as a forearm. The whole body is black and red, dragging many jointed limbs and crawling past her in a gust of wind, although she was so focused on running for her life that she didn't even bother to pay attention to her, she still paled in fright, ignoring the weakness in her limbs, and jumped onto the emperor with both hands and feet, " Your Majesty, save me!!!"

The emperor was not healed from his injuries, and was smiling when he was thrown suddenly and almost fell into the bonfire—he threw down the things in his hands in a hurry, and while supporting the ground with his palms, he grabbed Yun Fenghuang's waist and stabilized himself. Staying with the two of them, they couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Don't be afraid, my concubine."

Then he threw some medicinal herbs into the fire, and the room was filled with a strong medicinal smell. Finally, no more insects came out, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Fenghuang slowly got down from the emperor, probably scared by the centipede, she didn't dare to occupy a side with the emperor across the bonfire like before, but followed him step by step, and from time to time He stretched out his hand and gently tugged at the bottom of the emperor's hair and trousers, as if he was ready to climb onto him to hide at any time.

The emperor saw this little move, and he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Aifei's spirit is better? Then maybe tell me what happened after I fell into a coma under the cliff?"

"Yes." Yun Fenghuang hurriedly said, "I was looking for a hiding place at the time, when I suddenly felt His Majesty collapsed, I thought that the assassin had already caught up, but later I found out that His Majesty lost consciousness due to an attack of injury..."

She recounted the situation when she thought of relying on the river to win the land when she was helpless, focusing on describing the difficulties and dangers of the situation at that time, as well as her own weakness and helplessness—especially the anti-kill after jumping into the river. She used her life's eloquence, and what she said was thrilling and life-threatening, so that the emperor knew her true nature and had doubts in his heart, but he held his breath when he heard it.

After a long time, he sighed, raised his hand to touch Yun Fenghuang's temple hair, and said softly: "My concubine is suffering."

"This is what the concubine should do." Yun Fenghuang said modestly, "Actually, the concubine's strength is low. In the end, if His Majesty hadn't woke up in time to save the concubine, I am afraid that the concubine would have passed away long ago..."

She couldn't hide her curiosity when she said this, "By the way, Your Majesty, how did you get down from the tree?"

At that time, Yun Fenghuang felt that he had nowhere to go, and killing Chunjia to vent his anger was useless. Instead, as the mastermind behind the scenes wished, he would implicate Xie Shi ten to ten, so he simply used himself as bait, but set up a simple trap, Tie up the emperor and hang him on a big tree with luxuriant branches to hide, and tie the last insect repelling medicine bag to him - if the emperor can't survive, then there's nothing he can do, if he can survive, with him Judging from Yuan Niangniang's attitude, it is expected that Mrs. Xie will not be treated badly.

Because the emperor was still in a coma at the time, Yun Fenghuang was worried that he would wake up and make noises during the assassin's search, so he not only tied the man into a silkworm chrysalis, but even gagged his mouth with the hem of his clothes.

In this situation, even if you want to struggle out, it may be difficult, not to mention that the emperor was at the end of his battle at the time?

What puzzled Yun Fenghuang the most was that she didn't find the rapier at all when she searched the emperor's body...

"It's not the first time I've had such an adventure since I assumed the throne." The emperor smiled and said in a low voice, "Therefore, when traveling lightly, I'm always used to putting some things in my underwear."

As for what to put, how to put it, how to escape Yun Fenghuang's search...these emperors didn't mean to explain, but said to her thoughtfully, "Speaking of it, I was surprised by my concubine, even though I knew Aifei is good at swimming, but I didn't expect it to be so good. Those assassins are not low in martial arts. Even if the Imperial Army soldiers fight them one-on-one, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat them... Not only can Aifei take me and escape under their hands , and can kill the two of them in turn, you are really a hero among women!"

Hearing the words, Yun Fenghuang showed a little complicated expression, and said lightly: "It was just a mistake in order to please my sister back then. But I didn't expect that this time I would win a chance of life because of it. Maybe it is the blessing of my sister's spirit in the sky... Of course, the main reason is His Majesty's profound blessings."

"Sister Ling?" The emperor was slightly taken aback, uncertain, "Sister Ling...likes to play in the water?"

Although he doesn't know how to swim, he knows that Yun Fenghuang's water quality is absolutely impossible to be trained only in the pool. No matter how good he is in the calm pool, he still needs to get used to natural waters such as ponds and lakes for the first time. , not to mention the turbulent river, let alone in this case, not only to take care of the unconscious emperor, but also to kill the assassin... This kind of exquisite water quality must have long been experienced in hitting the water in the rapids, and may even have The experience of fighting with people underwater.

With Yun Fenghuang's temperament, the emperor was not surprised that she did such a thing.

but……

The concubine named Xie Fenghuan seems to be truly virtuous and gentle, but she is entrusted with inhumanity and indecisive, so she makes mistakes and hurts the family?

This kind of woman is supposed to be unable to do something like swimming in the wild for fun?

Well, but it is said that this concubine of mine seems to have had a reputation of being virtuous and virtuous in the north. Could it be that the Xie family has the custom of making a false reputation for the daughters of the clan?

The emperor was contemplating, when Yun Fenghuang said with a light smile, "No, my concubine's elder sister fell into the water once, and she has been afraid of water ever since."

Without waiting for the emperor to continue to ask, she said in a low voice, "Your Majesty must know that the concubine's sister entrusted someone who is wrong—yes, the concubine is talking about Wang's son. The reason why he was able to get my sister to treat him differently at the beginning was because Because my sister stepped on the hem of her skirt for a maid during a spring outing, fell off a cruise ship and was rescued by Mrs. Wang, and thus secretly fell in love with her."

This incident was later found to be a pure scam under Jiang's thorough investigation, because Xie Fenghuan's personal maid had been bought long ago, and she deliberately set up a trick for Wang's son.

However, the young Xie Fenghuan didn't notice that even though she was afraid of water after falling into the water this time, she was secretly grateful for Wang's son who saved her. In addition, the son of the Wang family is also young and handsome, with a personable demeanor... A girl like Huaichun, a lady like Xie Fenghuan, who locks up the courtyard after a little older, and the young men she meets are either brothers of the same clan or the Jiang family. Cousin over there.

Jiang's nephews are not bad in talent and appearance, and because of Jiang's sake, they often meet Xie Fenghuan, so it's not like no one is interested in this cheap cousin.

The problem is that Xie Fenghuan's biological mother, Qin Shi, has her own little Jiujiu. She privately said to her daughter: "My son is not born of the mistress. My nephew is also a rich family on the same level as the Xie family. If you become Jiang's wife, you will be at odds with your uncle and husband-in-law in the future. Would you come back to the Xie family and let the mistress fight for you with your natal family? It's better to think about those things People who are inferior to the Xie family will not dare to underestimate your status as a concubine! Even if there is a dispute, the mistress will make decisions for you!"

... These mothers and daughters of the Jiang family only found out later. In short, Xie Fenghuan soon became depressed after leaving the cabinet.

At that time, the relationship between Yun Fenghuang and this elder sister had already begun to improve, and whenever this elder sister returned to Ning, although Yun Fenghuang was still not forgiving, he began to be considerate.

Xie Fenghuan noticed it and persuaded her to learn Fushui, the reason is that her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law were scared when she fell into the water: "After all, she is too talented, and my sister is so smart, she will learn it soon! "

After all, Yun Fenghuang was young at the time, so she didn't think much about it. She was originally restless, because she was raised by a man in her betrothed family with Qi Jiulu, and she was not as restrained as other sisters. She wanted to learn Fushui. Just follow her.

At first it was in the pool, but Xie Fenghuan was not satisfied when she saw it when she returned to her mother's house, saying that the water in rivers and lakes is different from the pool, and it is amazing to be able to live freely in those places.

At that time, Yun Fenghuang couldn't bear others to say that she couldn't do it, so she turned around and went to the big pond on Zhuangzi.

She is indeed intelligent and ruthless, but after many years, she has been able to swim upstream in the turbulent river.

Who knew that Xie Fenghuan asked her if she would be saved? What would she do if the rescued person grabbed her instead?

In short, step by step, I led my younger sister to learn the exquisite water skills that even ordinary fishermen can't match. When Yun Fenghuang said this, he said sadly: "After thinking about it, my sister is actually very annoyed that I can't swim, that's why I can't swim. Because of falling into the water, she got involved with Wang Shizi... She hopes that this concubine will not follow in her footsteps."

In fact, Yun Fenghuang and Qi Jiulu had been engaged for some time at that time, the two were childhood sweethearts, even if they really fell into the water and were rescued by others, it was impossible to repay with a promise of body.

Xie Fenghuan did this, it can only be said that she regretted marrying Wang Shizi very, very very much later.

So I encouraged my younger sister to learn how to swim without saying anything, and even asked her to think about what to do if someone in the water forcibly grabbed her to save her. If Xie Fenghuan did it again, she would push Wang Shizi away without hesitation. Forget it—but she has no chance to do it again, so she can only use this method as a consolation.

However, the Jiang clan, who were busy managing the family, and Yun Fenghuang, who was still young at that time, didn't notice it.

Qin was the first to know about it, but she is a concubine with a submissive and interesting nature. She always feels that she is married, so she can only bear it. Wang's treatment of Xie Fenghuan was even worse, she said that it would be good to have a child; having a child, the two parties have already respected each other like ice and even turned against each other, Qin wiped her tears and said that it would be good when the child grows up...

But Xie Fenghuan didn't last until the child grew up.

"...You made Your Majesty laugh." Yun Fenghuang wiped the corners of his eyes lightly, his sad expression changed into a nonchalant expression in an instant, and he even laughed, "By the way, Your Majesty, Mr. Deng and the others haven't come here yet?"

The emperor looked at the bonfire not far away, and said calmly, "Yes."

Immediately said, "But since my concubine is awake, there is no need to wait here. Let's clean up and find out if there is a mountain road nearby."
