Chapter 53
"Let...he see if it's all right."

The imperial physician nodded, because he was so excited that he forgot the person who gave his life to save His Royal Highness Chen Wang.

After taking the pulse, the imperial physician frowned and said, "This girl fainted due to excessive blood loss." He looked at the sweat towel on Meng Zihan's wrist and said, "Thanks to Ye Huwei who stopped the bleeding in time, otherwise her Her life is in danger. I will cook some blood-enriching medicine for her, and she will be cured within three days."

Even if the face cannot be seen, the imperial doctor can easily tell whether it is a man or a woman from the pulse condition.

"Then there will be Doctor Lao."

After the imperial physician re-bandaged Meng Zihan, he walked out of the tent, and Ye Feng heaved a long sigh of relief.Fortunately, the princess is fine, otherwise, even if His Royal Highness Chen Wang woke up, how would he explain to him?Ye Feng sweated for himself.

After the medicine was cooked, Ye Feng personally gave the medicine to Mu Xuanchen.The Zhuang guard brought by Meng Zihan saw that Meng Zihan hadn't come out of the tent, so he asked to see their adults.

Ye Feng walked outside the tent and asked him very puzzled: "My lord? What lord?"

"The one who went in was our Lord Meng from Ganlin County." Zhuang Weiwei said.

When did Princess Chen become the magistrate of Ganlin County?What the hell is going on here?Ye Feng's doubts were even greater.

But looking at the guard's appearance and listening to his words, he must not know Meng Zihan's real identity, so Ye Feng didn't point it out, he was afraid that telling the truth would cause her trouble.And she also made a point of explaining before, that His Royal Highness Chen Wang should not know that she saved him, let alone let anyone know her true identity, he must keep his promise.

After thinking for a while, Ye Feng lowered his head and said to the guard Zhuang: "Don't worry, our Royal Highness Chen and your lord hit it off right away, and Mr. Meng has a lot of insight into this battle, so His Highness wants to let Mr. Meng stay and talk with him at night by candlelight." .”

"Really!" Guard Zhuang showed surprise on his face.He didn't expect their Master Meng to be so capable, he really climbed up to the big Buddha of His Highness Chen Wang, and he really wanted to show it off when he went back.

After Ye Feng dismissed Zhuang's guards, he ordered the guards not to allow anyone to enter, and then he discussed with Mu Xuanchen's left and right lieutenants about going out to fight.

The sky gradually turned dark blue, Ye Feng went in and out many times, but he didn't see Mu Xuanchen and Meng Zihan wake up, so he went back to his tent to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Xuanchen's fingers suddenly moved slightly, followed by a slight frown.He strenuously raised his hand to caress his chest. Although the pain was not as painful as before, his heart still throbbed as long as he breathed hard.

He closed his eyes and lowered his hand weakly, but the moment he lowered his hand, he was shocked when he touched something on his hand.

What's next to it?
He tried his best to open his heavy eyelids and turned his head to look...

This is……

He recognized this cloak, this cloak belonged to him, it was the cloak that disappeared when Meng Zihan left, why did it appear here at this time?And there seems to be a person hidden under the cloak.

He reached out to take off the cloak, his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, but he was afraid that his hope would be lost again.

Only when Mu Xuanchen meets Meng Zihan, his emotions will always lose control unconsciously.He knew that he was poisoned, but not the poison but her.

His hands trembled agitatedly, and the hand holding the end of the cloak did not dare to take it off for a long time.

In the end, he turned around to face her sideways with all his strength, and slowly lifted the cloak that covered her...

When Meng Zihan's face without any makeup was completely presented in front of Mu Xuanchen's eyes, Mu Xuanchen's eyes widened excitedly, and the eye sockets began to turn red.

is this real?Or is he dreaming?He couldn't believe it, after searching for it for so long, now she appeared beside her without anyone noticing, he really couldn't believe it.

Trembling hands caressed her pale cheeks, and when her temperature reached from his fingertips to the bottom of his heart, he finally believed that everything in front of him was real, not his illusion.

"Han...er..." He called out with difficulty, but saw that she was still sleeping quietly with her eyes closed.

Have you come back to me?Will you never leave me again?

You must have suffered a lot after leaving him for so long, right?Mu Xuanchen looked at the pale Meng Zihan, and took her into his arms with distress.

The familiar fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose in an instant, and he finally fell asleep hugging her exhausted...

Meng Zihan felt himself surrounded by a familiar force, and opened his eyes weakly. When he raised his eyes and saw Mu Xuanchen's handsome face, he was so frightened that he froze and couldn't move.

he woke up?Meng Zihan was shocked.

It seemed that he was really poisoned deeply, otherwise she wouldn't have retreated from his arms so easily.Fortunately, he woke up, otherwise she was really afraid that he would just leave.

After getting out of bed, she suddenly felt a chill all over, but she didn't dare to turn her head.

She clenched her fists tightly with her hands, her nails deeply embedded in her palms, she bit her lip in a daze for a few seconds, and then walked out of the tent.

"Master Meng?" The night watchman looked at the haggard Meng Zihan in surprise.

"Yeah!" Meng Zihan nodded, and asked after holding back his thoughts, "Where's the guard Zhuang I brought?"

One of the soldiers on guard replied: "It should be with Ye Huwei."

Ye Feng?Meng Zihan was full of doubts, why should a guard of the county government bother him, unless he wanted to find out about her.

"Take me to see Ye Feng!" Meng Zihan supported himself with perseverance, trying to keep himself awake. Although his voice was weak, the tone that could not be opposed still stunned the soldier.

"Yes!" The soldiers obediently took Meng Zihan to Ye Feng's tent.

Sure enough, Ye Feng was already fully dressed and just walked out of the tent before the Mao hour.After seeing Meng Zihan, he was slightly stunned, but he didn't know how to address her in front of outsiders.It was Meng Zihan who spoke first.

"Ye Feng, where is the person I brought?"

When Meng Zihan called his name in front of Ye Feng, the soldiers beside him stared blankly at the scene in front of them.

Meng Zihan didn't notice this, and Ye Feng didn't feel strange either, so he naturally brought Guard Zhuang out.

Guard Zhuang didn't know when it happened, he stretched his arms and walked out with Ye Feng.When he saw Meng Zihan, a burst of exclamation came from his mouth: "My lord! Why did you become so haggard after not seeing you overnight?"

Meng Zihan looked at Ye Feng and smiled awkwardly, "Oh! I'm just not used to sleeping in strange places, so my complexion is not very good."

"Master Meng, let's go and take a rest. This... I'm not feeling well, and I usually have to recuperate for three days." Ye Feng gently reminded.

Meng Zihan understood what Ye Feng meant, but she had to leave immediately, he had already woken up once, and he might wake up again soon, she couldn't take the risk.

"No! There are a lot of things going on in the county government lately, and...don't you ask me to take care of the third lady of the prime minister's family? I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of them well, so I'd better go back earlier." There was some hesitation in the words, when it came to When Hua Yan was quiet, there was a wry smile on her face.

Ye Feng wanted to explain that he didn't know that the magistrate of Ganlin County was her, but Meng Zihan stopped him with his hands.She narrowed her eyes tiredly, adjusted her breathing and said, "No need to say anything, I'll go back first."

Just when Meng Zihan was about to turn around and leave, a soldier suddenly ran over in a hurry, and after seeing Ye Feng, no matter who was present, he immediately reported in a hurry: "Report to Guard Ye, the person we caught is he He refused to confess and went on a hunger strike, what should we do now?"

"Who did you arrest?" Meng Zihan asked nervously.I heard that hostage-taking usually happens on the battlefield. Did they take Chu Rui as a hostage?He also believed that Chu Rui would sacrifice his life to protect his country.

Ye Feng didn't want to hide her, but he still had some concerns after looking at the guards around her.

Meng Zihan is a person who knows how to read words and expressions, once she sees Ye Feng's expression, she knows what to do.So she asked Guard Zhuang to wait for her in the carriage first, and she would arrive after finishing her work.

Ye Feng brought Meng Zihan to the tent where the hostages were imprisoned. Seeing the man chained to the post covered with whip marks, her heart couldn't help trembling.She knew how cruel the battlefield was, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she still couldn't help her legs go weak.Even if it wasn't Chu Rui, it would still give her chills.

"Hey! Wang...Master Meng!" Ye Feng immediately supported Meng Zihan, and the princess almost cried out, but luckily she took it back in time.

"Why did you beat him like this?" She tried her best to support her weak body, and raised her head after standing still.

Ye Feng explained: "He is Jianxi sent by Xueyue Kingdom. He sneaked into our barracks and poisoned His Royal Highness Prince Chen. He wanted to use this despicable method to deal with the commander-in-chief so that he could win without a fight."

It turned out to be like this.Meng Zihan sat on the chair and nodded against the table.

But according to what the soldiers reported just now, he refused to confess and went on a hunger strike. He seems to be a tough guy, but he used the wrong method and the wrong target.

Meng Zihan breathed heavily, frowned, looked at the man and questioned: "Seeing that you are also a tough guy, you don't look like a rat who uses such indecent methods, you should also know that since the battle is about to Honestly, what made you have to do this?"

The blood-covered hostage originally closed his eyes with disdain when he saw Meng Zihan, but when he heard what Meng Zihan said, he slowly opened his eyes and flashed an inconceivable look. Passed away, in exchange for a mouthful of resentment.

"Hmph! That Mu Xuanchen deserved to die!"

"You're courting death!" Crack!

A heavy whip sound fell on the already bloody body, but the beaten person just grunted but did not yell.

"Stop!" Meng Zihan couldn't stand this kind of torture, so he sternly shouted at the soldier who was about to whip him again.She raised her head and said to Ye Feng: "You all go out, let me ask her alone."

"Hahaha! A sick person wants to talk to me? It's just fantastic." His face was full of vicissitudes, but he still looked stubborn.

"you……"

Ye Feng was about to act as a lesson, Meng Zihan stopped him and waved to him, motioning him to go out.

The hostage didn't know what Meng Zihan's origin was, but he still showed a resisting attitude.

"Who are you from Chu Rui?" Meng Zihan said with love.

The man was obviously shocked, and his attitude was not as arrogant as before, but he turned his head and remained silent.

"You swear to the death that you were sent by Xueyue Kingdom, let alone who sent you. You must also be a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and you do such things as poisoning. I think...you are too. You want to end the battle quickly, and you don't want to lose your life?"

The hostage obviously became emotional, and he said angrily: "Yes! It was I who poisoned, I just wanted Mu Xuanchen to die, if it wasn't for him, I..." He paused and said , "How can we, Prince Chu Rui, have to fight!"

"You Xueyue Kingdom started the war, so what's the matter with His Royal Highness Prince Guan Chen?" Meng Zihan asked puzzled.

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, "If he didn't let his princess come to confuse our prince Chu Rui, how could our prince go to war so easily?"

Meng Zihan lowered his head and said with a bitter smile: "His Highness Prince Chen did not let Concubine Chen confuse Prince Chu Rui, and he also intended to give Concubine Chen to Prince Chu Rui."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Mu Xuanchen didn't say that at all. He never mentioned that he would give Princess Chen to our prince. On the contrary, our prince even used the condition of 'peace and war' in exchange for a woman, but he said nothing. Refuse, isn't this playing us?"

Word by word, each sentence was transmitted to Meng Zihan's eardrums, but she still couldn't believe it was true.

He really never gave up on her?He really never said that he would give her to someone else as a condition for "peace and war"?He never thought of using her?is this real?
But this battle was started by her, and she was the culprit.

Now how to do?
"I'll take you back to your barracks." Meng Zihan said seriously.

"You...do you think I will believe you? And what right do you have to release a hostage?" He sneered disdainfully, but he desperately longed for someone to discover his disappearance and save him from the fire.

Meng Zihan stood up and walked up to him and said, "You don't have to worry about the rest, but you have to promise that when you arrive at your barracks, you will stand with me and stop the war from continuing."

For some reason, seeing the look in Meng Zihan's eyes, he nodded involuntarily.

Walking outside the tent, Ye Feng stayed there all the time, Meng Zihan called him, and Ye Feng immediately supported her worriedly after hearing the sound, for fear that she would faint again due to exhaustion.

Meng Zihan saw soldiers standing guard on both sides, and she also knew that she had no say in this matter, but she wanted to give it a go, she didn't want to become a sinner through the ages.

"Ye Feng, come here." She motioned Ye Feng to avoid other soldiers and walk aside.

"What's the matter, princess?" Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Feng called her princess.

The corners of Meng Zihan's lips curled up into a smile, and he sighed and said, "Since you still call me Wangfei, then I will use my right as Wangfei for the last time, and I will take that hostage back to Xueyue Kingdom's camp."

"This is absolutely impossible. I don't know where he came from. If we can prove that he is an important minister or prince of Xueyue Kingdom, we can use him to calm down the fighting, and maybe we can get back the city." Ye Feng flatly refused without thinking.

Meng Zihan was a little puzzled: "Retrieve the city? As far as I know, Xueyue Kingdom has not captured a single city so far, so how can you talk about taking it back?"

Ye Feng's expression flickered and he didn't say anything. Meng Zihan only thought that he was wronged, so he didn't go any further.Just weighed the pros and cons for him.

"Whether you want to take back the city or plunder the city, don't you hope that there will be wars every year and there will be no peace every day? Even the hostages you captured hope that the war will be quelled as soon as possible, and you don't want to lose their lives. You keep saying that you are for the common people, this is you Did it work for the common people?"

Ye Feng looked at Meng Zihan in surprise, and was speechless for a moment.The person in front of him was very different from the princess he knew. If she hadn't personally admitted that she was the princess, he would definitely believe that they were not the same person.

"Even if we hand over the hostages, they will not agree to make peace." Ye Feng said after recovering.

Meng Zihan turned his head to look at Ye Feng, and finally fixed his gaze in the distance: "Is this battle started because of me?"

Ye Feng bowed his head and remained silent.

She knew in her heart that he had acquiesced, so she said: "I will take him away no matter what, and please believe me. If your Royal Highness Chen pursues it, you will say that I am going my own way, and I will give him an explanation. , I won’t embarrass you.”

The matter of taking the hostages can be big or small, but Ye Feng knew that she had made up her mind, and he was convinced of her firmness, so she finally nodded in agreement.

She couldn't take the hostage away openly, otherwise it would definitely shake the morale of the army, so she could only take him out of the tent under the pretext of treating the hostage and sneak him into the carriage.

The carriage drove forward without stopping, Meng Zihan couldn't stand the bumps, and almost fainted several times.

Although she took medicine once after losing too much blood, she never had a good rest, so her physical strength began to be overdrawn.

"My lord! Do you want to take a break?" Zhuang guard asked worriedly.

When he first saw Meng Zihan with a pale face, he was really shocked. Although he said that he was not used to sleeping in strange places, he had never seen him like this when he first arrived in Ganlin County.

"Keep going." Meng Zihan didn't hesitate at all.

The wounded hostage in the car was almost half dead, but he still sneered at her in an arrogant tone: "It's really stupid!"

Mengzi glared at him coldly, but didn't have the energy to argue with him.

He looked out of the window and found that he had already left the camp of the White Tiger Country, so he smiled wildly and said, "It's useless for you to stare at me, you will regret the decision you made today."

"I will never regret what I have done." Meng Zihan leaned aside and replied lightly.

"Tch!" He asked disdainfully, "Do you know who I am and let me go back so easily? Now that you've arrived at our camp, it's too late for you to regret it."

The corner of Meng Zihan's lips curled up into a slight smile: "Why are you so sure that I will regret it?" She straightened up and took out a bottle of wound medicine from her skirt and threw it to him, "If I guessed correctly, you should be Xueyue The fourth prince of the country, Chu Rui's older brother."

"You..." His originally haughty expression immediately sank, and he grabbed the medicine bottle in his hand and froze.

"I heard that the fourth prince and Chu Rui were born to the same mother. Among all the princes, they have had the best relationship since childhood. Moreover, the fourth prince is reckless by nature. Once he makes a mistake, Chu Rui will help him deal with the aftermath. But the fourth prince is also the most serious." Loyalty, but it is only shown on Chu Rui, and only Chu Rui can go through fire and water. If you say you are not the fourth prince, who else would you be?" Meng Zihan solved his doubts for him.

After a while, he recovered from his astonishment, but he was speechless looking at Meng Zihan.

"Who are you?" He felt that the seemingly thin person in front of him was not simple. He could bring him out from the barracks, and he could clearly say that he was the Fourth Prince. How could he be an ordinary person?
"Stop!" The carriage was stopped suddenly.

The fourth prince of Xueyue Kingdom frowned at the sound of stopping outside the carriage.

"My lord..." Guard Zhuang called Meng Zihan at a loss.

Meng Zihan winked at the fourth prince, who knowingly stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and said to the outside world: "I am the fourth prince, so hurry up and get out of the way."

"Fourth brother?"

A long-lost sound suddenly appeared outside the carriage.This is Chu Rui's voice!

Meng Zihan couldn't help but flicker, holding the cushion a little nervously.When she learned that Chu Rui provoked the war because of her, she couldn't face him, but now she has no choice.

The fourth prince stepped out of the carriage, Chu Rui's face was full of distress: "Fourth brother! How did you get hurt like this?"

"I..." The fourth prince was a little embarrassed, if Chu Rui knew that he had poisoned Mu Xuanchen, he would definitely scold him severely.Chu Rui has always done things aboveboard, so how could he allow the people around him to do such tricks.

Chu Rui frowned and sighed: "It's better to go in and let the imperial doctor take a look and prescribe some medicine."

"Wait a minute." The fourth prince held Chu Rui back and said, "Actually, I was able to escape safely this time thanks to a young master."

It was only then that Chu Rui noticed that he had never seen the person driving the carriage. He looked into the carriage suspiciously and asked, "Oh? Who is it?"

"My lord!" Seeing this, Guard Zhuang shouted into the carriage again, and pulled up the curtain.

Meng Zihan bit the bullet and slowly got out of the carriage. When she and Chu Rui met face to face, Chu Rui felt suspicious and asked hesitantly, "Are you..."

After taking a deep breath, she put on a smile on her face and pretended to be relaxed: "Prince Chu Rui! How long have you not seen me and you don't know me?"

"You...know each other?" The fourth prince looked back and forth between Meng Zihan and Chu Rui in disbelief.

After Chu Rui got a clue about Meng Zihan for a while, he finally recognized her from her smiling face, excitedly pushed aside the Fourth Prince, grabbed Meng Zihan's hand and said, "Han..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Meng Zihan lowered her head and coughed to stop Prince Chu Rui from continuing to shout. She looked at the astonished guard Zhuang and retracted her hand, then clasped her fists and said, "In the magistrate of Ganlin County, Xiabaihu Country Meng Qian, see Prince Chu Rui."

"Ganlin County... magistrate?" Chu Rui sized her up from head to toe.How could a good-looking princess become the county magistrate after she disappeared?Judging by her expression just now, it seems that the guard next to her doesn't know her true identity.He also had no choice but to act with her, not to expose her.

"Why do you have such a bad complexion?" Chu Rui looked at the haggard and bloodless Meng Zihan, and his heart ached.

When he secretly learned that Princess Chen was missing, he believed that Mu Xuanchen had treated her badly. Seeing her haggard face now, it must be because of Mu Xuanchen again.Since God brought her to him, he would never let her go.

Meng Zihan raised his hand and stroked his face, "I...it's fine, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly dizzy and moved aside...

"Be careful!" Fortunately, Chu Rui caught the weak Meng Zihan in time with his sharp eyes and hands.

She rubbed her temples to wake herself up, looked at the panicked Chu Rui and said, "I'm fine."

"Why are you still so brave?" Chu Rui was a little displeased, and couldn't care less about the injured fourth prince next to him, he picked up Meng Zihan and walked into his tent, causing Meng Zihan to scream .

The fourth prince and Zhuang's guard stood there in a daze.

"Hey! Fifth brother! I'm your real brother." After looking at his injuries, the fourth prince murmured to Chu Rui, who hurriedly ran to the tent with Meng Zihan in his arms, "My injuries are more serious than his." Why are you only worried about that kid?"

At noon on the third day, the sky was a little gloomy.

Mu Xuanchen opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly realized something, he suddenly turned his head to look, but found that there was no one beside him.Was it a dream last night?
