Chapter 309 Sleeping in a cave
  Huizhi was worried and Shen Zhuoxi went alone and said, "Miss, I will accompany you."
  "We are all gone. What will the prince do if there is a killer chasing after him?" Shen Zhuoxi looked around and said, "You stay here to guard the prince, I am just nearby to take a look."
  "It's good to find it. If not, just turn around quickly. It doesn't matter."
  Huizhi could only respond and warned: "Then you should be careful. If you are in danger, shout for help and I will come over as soon as possible."
  Shen Zhuoxi nodded and disappeared into the night after a while.
  After it rained, the sky was not as dark as before.
  There was mist in the mountains, and I could barely see a little bit, which was better than nothing, and better than total darkness.
  Shen Zhuoxi slowly explored the mountains and forests, with the mentality of giving it a try, but he might not be lucky enough to find the medicinal materials.
  But as she walked, she really discovered it.
  It is also the dragon's blood flower that is best for stopping bleeding and reducing swelling. The flowers only bloom after rain, and they will not bloom again after they bloom once. The fruits they bear can only grow into seedlings if they are eaten by birds and then pulled out.
  Not every fruit can happen to be picked by a bird. Therefore, dragon blood flowers are very rare. Even if you look for them specifically, you may not be able to find them.
  The dragon's blood flower has a fragrant aroma that can be smelled from a long distance away. Shen Zhuoxi followed the smell carefully and found a few flowers in a short while.
  She was not greedy and did not continue searching. She was afraid that she would lose her way if she walked too deep in the forest, so she returned to the original place with the few flowers she found.
  Zhengfeng came back at some time and said happily: "Princess, the villain accidentally found a cave not far away when he was looking for firewood. Let's go there to settle down and wait until daybreak before we go on our way?"
  "Okay." Shen Zhuoxi held the flowers and said, "I just happened to find some medicinal materials that are good for wound recovery. I'll go over there and apply them on the prince. It might rain in the middle of the night."
  Several people moved Jing Muling to the cave, where she finally got warmer.
  The burning sensation all over Jing Muling's body did not diminish at all. When Zhengfeng started to light up the fire, Shen Zhuoxi untied his clothes and checked his wounds.
  After simply cleaning the blood around the wound with water, he divided two dragon blood flowers into juice and applied it to the wound.
  There was nothing to bandage the wound, and his body was very hot, so Shen Zhuoxi simply didn't put any clothes on him and took his coat to bake.
  "Princess." Zhengfeng came over to take a look after getting angry, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, your arms are bare like this, won't they freeze?"
  "No, Your Majesty is having a fever. It's better to dissipate the heat without wearing any clothes." Shen Zhuoxi glanced at the many scars on Jing Muling's body and asked.
  "Did you often encounter this kind of situation when you were on the battlefield with the prince?"
  "It was true at the beginning. At that time, Lord Zhongyi was still there. The prince followed the old Lord into the battlefield. After all, he was young and energetic and refused to admit defeat. He often came back with injuries." Zhengfeng recalled the past events and said with emotion.
  "Thanks to the old Marquis for giving the prince a chance, training him, and overcoming everyone else's opinions to let him do what he wants. Otherwise, there would not be the famous 'god-killing' King Yu on the border."
  When Zhengfeng said this, he sighed: "It's a pity that such a good man, the old Marquis, who was so upright, fell into the enemy's poisonous plan, and even his body..."
  Halfway through his words, Zhengfeng remembered Shen Zhuoxi's identity. She was the granddaughter of Marquis Zhongyi, and she must have felt uncomfortable hearing that. He quickly stopped and changed his words: "But later, the prince avenged the old marquis. "
  "Single-handedly fighting back to the enemy camp, defeating one against a hundred, and taking off the enemy general's head. It was also at that time that the prince grew up rapidly. He had no weaknesses and was rarely injured until he met you..."
  "If those people hadn't threatened your safety today, the prince would certainly not have been distracted. He fell into their trap and was injured, and was dragged away unable to stop the bleeding."
  Shen Zhuoxi looked at Jing Muling again. The sleeping Jing Muling seemed to have something on his mind. His eyebrows were furrowed and his face was horribly pale due to excessive blood loss, but it made him a little more fragile.
  She raised her hand and crossed his frowning eyebrows, sighing: "It's our fault for being careless. We didn't expect this wave of people to ambush in such a timely manner."
  Speaking of this, Zhengfeng also doubted the identity of the other party: "You and I came out of the Prince's Mansion and were originally going back to the Grand Master's Mansion. However, we changed our minds and left the city. Why would anyone know about our movements?"
  "I was also confused." Shen Zhuoxi still didn't understand: "The prince is the most likely, but how he guessed that I would go to Shen Xinyu is a bit unreasonable."
  "But except for the prince, no one else seems to be able to guess our whereabouts."
  Zhengfeng paused and guessed: "Could it be that the prince also wanted to send someone to find Miss Shen, but unexpectedly saw our carriage and decided to silence her at the last moment?"
  "After all, what you are holding in your hands is enough to ruin the prince's reputation and cause him to fall into the quagmire!"
  Shen Zhuoxi was not sure, so he shook his head and said: "The prince is having a banquet. Even if he wanted to send someone out, he couldn't come out in time. Moreover, this wave of killers are obviously not specially trained."
  "If the prince wants to kill me and the prince, he should send the most powerful soldiers."
  She then thought of Qi Sheng, who didn't even know his appearance on the rainy night, and asked, "Do you recognize a person named Qi Sheng?"
  Zhengfeng thought for a moment and said, "I don't know him. Why do you suddenly ask about this person?"
  "I was chased by a group of men in black when I was alone. That man suddenly appeared and saved me." Shen Zhuoxi was full of doubts: "I have used up all the poison in my hands."
  "If he hadn't appeared to rescue me, I'm afraid I would have been caught by the man in black, and my fate would be unpredictable. The weirdest thing is that even though we are in a dark place, he can know exactly where I am."
  "Not only that, he also knew that I went to the Prince's Mansion to threaten the Prince, and he also knew that we were about to go to the Shen Family Villa!"
  Zhengfeng suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise: "Could this be the person who sent out killers to intercept us?"
  Hui Zhi couldn't help but interjected: "Since this man sent a killer to kill the young lady and the prince, why did he show up to save the young lady? Isn't it contradictory?"
  "Don't think too badly of people." Zhengfeng said righteously, "What if this person did it on purpose? First send a killer to force us into a desperate situation, and then pretend to be kind and save the princess."
  "The princess thinks he is a good person and gradually believes in him. He will give us a fatal blow in the future!"
  Huizhi was too lazy to tell him, and turned to Shen Zhuoxi: "Miss, what message did that person leave?"
  "Apart from telling me that his name is Qi Sheng, I only said that I can find him in White Crane Tower." Shen Zhuoxi was also confused. Thinking of the hairpin he took with him, he felt that this person was very frivolous.
  After a pause, he added: "Anyway, he doesn't look like a good person. When we return to Shengdu, you can wrap some gifts for him. Just thank him now and don't interact with him in the future."
  Huizhi nodded and said: "I understand, I have been working hard for half a night and you are tired. Why don't you go sit by the fire and take a nap?"
  "No, I'm looking at the prince, you and Zhengfeng take turns keeping watch in case someone attacks." Shen Zhuoxi sat sideways next to Jing Muling, tested his body temperature, and said: "Zhengfeng, give me the water bag. "
  Zhengfeng and Eizhi couldn't resist her, so they took turns taking a nap.
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't sleep all night.
  The high fever made Jing Muling's lips white and peeling, dry and cracked with bleeding marks.
  After a while, they had to scrub him with scraps of clothes soaked in water and give him water. It wasn't until the sky gradually turned brighter that Jing Muling opened his eyes.
