C52 Chapter 52

After a night of rain, the morning fog in the forest is misty and the air is moist. Accompanied by the chirping of the birds, Jiegeng gradually opened her eyes.

Jiegeng took away the half-dried towel on her forehead and touched her dizzy and painful brain. She only felt that it was a mess.

"Didn't I look for firewood last night?" Jiegeng asked herself.

Duan Shuang came in with a few sparrows and some fresh vegetables.

"You... You are awake." Duan Shuang put down the things in his hands and walked to Jiegeng's side. He put his hands on Jiegeng's forehead.

"The fever retreated. It should be fine now."

"Your Highness, what happened to me last night?" Jiegeng did not feel uncomfortable with Duan Shuang. She stared at Duan Shuang with doubt.

"Don't you remember what you did last night?" Duan Shuang raised his eyebrows.

Jiegeng immediately became flustered.

Heavens, did I do anything last night? Why can't I remember anything?

Jiegeng shook her head guiltily.

"You passed out with a high fever last night, and then..." Duan Shuang deliberately paused for a moment.

"What else?" Jiegeng blinked her eyes.

"Later, when you woke up, you held my hand and said a lot of nonsense. You cried and laughed, and your snot and tears rubbed against my body." After Duan Shuang said that, he smiled.

"You are talking nonsense!" Jiegeng lowered her head in shame. "What snot and tears? Just make it up." Jiegeng's voice sounded more and more like a mosquito's cry.

Duan Shuang immediately took out a cowhide kettle from the fire that was almost extinguished and handed it to Jiegeng. "Drink some water first. My throat is almost hoarse."

" Oh." Jiegeng immediately took the water bottle. Just as her throat was about to dry up like a fire, she immediately raised her head and began to drink.

"Your Royal Highness, where did you find the water bottle?" After drinking more than half of the water bottle, her throat was already moist enough. Jiegeng thought of this.

Duan Shuang used his hand to point at the two horses at the entrance of the cave. "These two are warhorses. Even if they run away immediately, they will not run far. One whistle will make them come back."

"So powerful!" Jiegeng licked her lips.

This action immediately caused Duan Shuang to be stunned. Duan Shuang immediately threw the fresh fruit to Jiegeng. "If you are hungry, eat some fruits first." After saying that, he started to deal with the captured birds.

Jiegeng picked up the fruit and nodded. For some reason, Jiegeng felt that Duan Shuang today was somewhat different.

"However, my constitution is really good! I fainted from a high fever. I will be fine after sleeping for a while." Jiegeng also tested the temperature on her forehead and smiled proudly.

When she entered the cave last night, Jiegeng felt that her entire body was uncomfortable and her brain was swollen and painful. When she woke up early this morning and recovered her senses, she felt that her expression was very good.

Duan Shuang smiled but did not say anything when he saw Jiegeng's proud expression.

"You must be hungry." Duan Shuang took the lead and handed a roasted sparrow to Jiegeng.

Jiegeng carefully took the roasted meat.

"It probably doesn't taste very good. I'll just make do and eat some. We'll return to the city in a while." Duan Shuang also picked up a roasted one.

"I didn't expect that a high and mighty prince like you would have so many. I thought, although you are a famous Combat King... However, in these matters, you would definitely be no different from a prince who was living a comfortable life. " Jiegeng looked at Duan Shuang with respect in her eyes.

"I also started as a soldier. Although I don't dare to say that I have experienced hundreds of flavors of life, it can be considered as living a tough life." Duan Shuang said casually.

When Jiegeng heard this, she wanted to take a bite of the meat. However, she suddenly stopped and lowered her head rather unkindly. "I'm sorry. That night, I proudly said a lot of words in front of you to let you experience the suffering of the people."

"At your age, it's already very good that you can say those things." Duan Shuang noticed Jiegeng's guilt. "Don't worry about it. Eat quickly."

After a simple meal, Duan Shuang stood up first and extended his hand to Jiegeng.

Jiegeng looked up at Duan Shuang, who was exceptionally gentle today, and hesitantly extended her hand.

Walking out of the cave, Duan Shuang took the lead to get on the horse and immediately pulled Jiegeng up.

Jiegeng, who was sitting in front of Duan Shuang in an instant, hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I will ride my own horse."

"I don't want to fall again." Duan Shuang whispered in Jiegeng's ear.

For some reason, Jiegeng's ears turned red.

Duan Shuang looked at his "masterpiece" and was quite satisfied.

"Don't move around. Jia." Duan Shuang skillfully controlled the mount under him, and the horse Anzhao left behind also obediently followed behind him.

First life, second life, familiar. This time Jiegeng was not as nervous as before. Instead, her body unconsciously moved towards Duan Shuang.

This action caused Duan Shuang to smile.

After entering the city, for some reason, Duan Shuang deliberately slowed down his speed.

"Your Highness, there are a lot of people here, and it's not far from the King Yi's Mansion. Why don't you put me down here? I'll go back myself." Just now there was no one else outside the city and Jiegeng still dared to be a bit more bold. But at this moment, Jiegeng's cowardly character was immediately exposed.

"No need. You have not returned for a day. I have to come and explain to you." Duan Shuang rejected Jiegeng's request.

He Mansion.

"Group leader, the prince is back." The servant girl immediately reported. "He is with Bai Jiegeng."

"I understand. You can withdraw." Ho Lingloong was expressionless at this moment.

Ho Lingloong slowly walked to the potted plant leaning against the bed and slowly pulled down a flower. She then pulled out all the blooming petals and held them in her palm. After rubbing for a while, she threw all of them forward.

"I will let you be proud for a few more days." After Ho Lingloong smiled faintly, she walked towards the guqin and calmly played it.

King Yi's Mansion.

"Princess, Miss Biao is back." Aunt Fang immediately reported the news to Rani Yi.

"Really? Quickly bring me to see her." Rani Yi stood up nervously.

When she saw Jiegeng in the main hall, Rani Yi impatiently hugged Jiegeng. "You child, why do you always make people so worried?"

Releasing Jiegeng, Rani Yi immediately turned left and right to look at Jiegeng. "There is no injury, right? Have you eaten breakfast?"

"I'm fine. I'm fine everywhere." Jiegeng acted spoiled. "I've had breakfast. Aunt, don't worry."

"You child, how can I not worry?" Rani Yi immediately became anxious. "You said that you have only lived here for such a short period of time and so many accidents have happened. Last night, however, you did not return at all. If anything happens, how am I going to explain it to your mother? "

After scolding Jiegeng for a while, Rani Yi discovered that Duan Shuang was also at the side.

"Didn't I tell you not to mingle with Duan Shuang in the future? Why don't you listen?" Rani Yi did not give Duan Shuang a good look. She also said this sincerely for Duan Shuang to hear.

"Aunt." Jiegeng was very embarrassed at this moment.

Duan Shuang did not care about it at all. He still maintained his elegant posture.
