Chapter 99: A Pound of Red
The next day, around noon, Master Lu found the two people.

It seemed that Mu Qingqing was not seriously injured and her wounds had been treated. However, she could not exercise now and would have to wait a few days if she wanted to go back.

Mu Qingqing wrote a letter, "Master, please send this letter back to my mother and let them rest assured that I am fine and will be back in a few days!"

Master Lu nodded, glanced at the two of them, pulled Mu Qingqing aside, and spoke in a low voice.

"Qingqing, you haven't gotten married yet, you need to know what you can't do!"

Mu Qingqing's face flushed, and she hugged her master's arm and acted like a spoiled child, "Master, don't worry, I won't, and Han Chen is not that kind of person!"

Master Lu can still trust King Han’s character, but the two of them like each other, and if they can’t control themselves, cough cough.

"Okay, just keep it in mind."

"Your injury has healed. Come back quickly. I will inform Prince Han's Mansion."

The latter part of the words were spoken to King Han. After all, they were a single man and a single woman, and it would not be good for the news to get out even if they were an engaged couple.

The two nodded and watched Master Lu leave.

The two came to the river, King Han caught fish, and Mu Qingqing sat beside a rock and watched.

The weather was great, the environment was beautiful, and it felt like a peaceful time. Mu Qingqing didn't want to leave.

She stared at King Han in a daze, without thinking anything. As long as Han Chen was there, she was not afraid of anything.

After a while, Master Lu, who had left, brought over some things, including spare clothes, toiletries, bedding, etc.

"I bought these from a nearby village. They are very clean. I saw you didn't want to go there, so I brought them here for you."

I used light skills along the way to deliver the things so quickly.

In addition to these, there are various seasonings, a small pot, and some rice.

Master Lu was very thoughtful, and the two of them quickly thanked him.

Living in the wild is not like living in a house, where everything is missing.

It just solved the urgent problem.

Han Chen brought the things into the cave and looked around. This little nest was still missing a bed and a small table. It would be even better if there was an earthen stove.

Prince Han is a prince after all. Although he knows some things, he has never actually used them.

After catching almost all the fish, the two went to the nearby bamboo forest to cut some bamboo.

"I'll make a bamboo bed. It's not good to sleep on the floor all the time."

Then he chopped two more pieces of wood, not very thick.

Then use vines to connect the bamboos, tie the wood underneath, and put a few layers at the bottom, and a bed is ready.

The bed is not big, just enough for two people.

Mu Qingqing spread some straw and put bedding on top. She tried it and found it was quite soft.

In the same way, King Han made a table and placed it next to the bed, so that the two of them finally didn't have to sit on the floor to eat.

Since there was no stove, King Han had to build one himself, piling up ten pieces of mud on both sides.

There is a smooth stone slab at the bottom, which is just the right size for the pot to fit on top.

Place wood on the slab and light it.

There was hot water in the pot and rice was cooking.

Place the grilled fish in the gap under the stone slab.

With the seasoning, the fish is marinated.

After a while, the aroma of rice wafted out. King Han didn't control the amount of water well, so the rice was a bit sticky.

Put the rice in the previous stone pot and start cooking.

I stewed the rabbit meat and roasted two chicken legs. I made soup with the remaining chicken in the evening.

Mu Qingqing was eating wild fruits. These wild fruits were very sweet, yellow in color, and tasted a bit like plums, but were smaller than plums.

Mu Qingqing looked at the virtuous appearance of Prince Han and sat there laughing.

King Han's eyes were gentle, and he reached out and ruffled her hair, "What's wrong? What are you grinning about?"

The curve of Mu Qingqing's mouth did not diminish. "I was thinking, His Highness the King of Han actually lights the fire and cooks for me. All the women in the world must be envious of me!"

King Han couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, yes, then my dear princess, when will you marry me?"

Mu Qingqing's face turned red. Was this a proposal? Oh my god, she really wanted to agree.

While my heart was beating fast, I kept emphasizing in my mind that I should be more reserved.

"Of course...it depends on your performance!"

Mu Qingqing raised her head proudly, not even noticing the juice at the corner of her mouth.

King Han had a smile in his eyes. He really loved this tsundere little look. His lover should be like this. He would take care of everything.

It was dark in the cave, so the two of them put the table outside when it was time to eat.

The air outside was fresh. The two ate and chatted, and the sounds of animals could be heard from time to time around them.

"Would it be nice if we could stay here?"

Blue sky and white clouds, food and drink, it’s really a heavenly day.

Mu Qingqing sighed, and King Han's heart moved, "Qingqing, don't you like the disputes in the capital?"

Mu Qingqing nodded, "Who would like it? But with your identity here, who can hide?"

Yes, sometimes it’s not what they want to do, but they have no choice!

King Han didn't say anything. The future of the two had long been tied together. Not to mention Qingqing, even he himself couldn't do anything.

The emperor's elder brother was suspicious of him, and his nephews viewed him as a ferocious beast. Even if he wanted to retire to the mountains, it would probably be impossible.

King Han looked at everything in front of him and felt touched. How nice it would be if he could retire here when he got older?
They can even go to a better place, live in seclusion there and lead a life like gods.

The Mu Mansion and Prince Han's Mansion received the news and felt relieved. General Mu took the evidence of Miss Zheng hiring a killer and reported it directly to the emperor.

The emperor was shocked. It was previously reported that the young lady of the Duke's Mansion had abused animals and even killed people. However, because of her identity, he could only turn a blind eye.

Unexpectedly, this Miss Zheng was even more ruthless. She directly hired someone to kill someone. The person she killed was the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion. Are they treating the laws of the dynasty as a joke?

No one dared to bear the emperor's wrath. Master Zheng knelt on the ground, his face full of haggardness, and he didn't even make an excuse.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of not teaching my daughter well. I am willing to be punished. As for my daughter, you can sentence her as you wish!"

He lowered his head feeling powerless. Their daughter was spoiled. She loved King Han and even hired someone to kill someone.

But, he only has this one daughter, why wouldn't he want to fight for her?
Unfortunately, in the end his daughter failed to win the heart of King Han and even lost her life.

The emperor directly stripped Mr. Zheng of his official position and asked him to retire and return home. This was because Mr. Zheng was an honest official with no criminal record, otherwise he would have been killed.

The eunuch representing the emperor delivered an imperial edict to the Zheng Mansion.

The father-in-law lowered his head to glance at the kneeling person. Miss Zheng thought it was an imperial decree granting marriage, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

The eunuch snorted coldly, "...Miss Zheng hired someone to kill someone, the evidence is irrefutable, according to the laws of the dynasty, she shall be punished with a hundred strokes of the cane..."

When the last word fell, Mrs. Zheng's eyes went dark and she fell to the ground. Miss Zheng was even more dumbfounded and stood up suddenly.

"Eunuch, this can't be true, right? How is it possible...it must be fake...fake..."

Miss Zheng was distraught, her face full of disbelief and she looked like a madman.

"I am Princess Han, what do you mean by a hundred cuts? You are so bold..."
