The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 342 The Thin Old Man
"Oh, heartless man, don't think about it if you don't want to. Anyway, she went to the capital, and you stay in Yanling Pass, I'm afraid you won't see her again. In two years, Yaoer will betroth her to a good family. It's not bad." After Wu Qing finished speaking, he went to sleep face-in again.

Wu Qing's words made Ziyou stand silently at the door for a long time, and finally walked quickly back to his room, staring blankly at the bed he slept in last night in a daze.

There was still some faint fragrance lingering in the room, but the fragrance smelled a little intoxicated and charming. Ziyou scratched his head again, but still couldn't remember what happened last night.

Then, it is said that the young master of the Mu family went to the laundry room and rummaged through several large baskets of dirty clothes and piles of old sheets for his sheets from last night.After finding nothing, I issued a deadly order: no one is allowed to touch my bed sheet without my permission.

That night, Feng Yao's carriage stopped at the post station.After a long day's journey, everyone went to bed early.But Lan'er got up quietly again in the middle of the night, and took a small bundle to a woods behind the post house.I found a big tree, got a small shovel from somewhere, dug a hole under the tree and buried something.

Going to the capital of Yunqing Kingdom, you have to pass through a desert.Although it is not an endless desert, it still takes a day's journey.Fengyao and Lan'er were stuffy in the car, feeling dry and hot, and the wind that breathed into their lungs smelled of sand and dust.After walking for half a day, they all slumped in the car, almost as if they had lost all strength.

"Yao'er, why don't you come out to get some air?" Mo Li heard that there was no movement in the carriage for a long time, so he came over to take a look worriedly, and saw two little girls huddled up in the innermost part of the carriage, wrapped in a gauze head and face.

"Yao'er?" Mo Li was startled, and jumped into the car.He hugged Feng Yao and lifted the veil covering her face.The gauze was wet when the tentacles touched it, which was right, so that the dry and hot wind in the desert would not burn the respiratory tract.But Feng Yao's dazed look really worried him.

"It's nothing, just dizziness." Feng Yao opened his eyes, but his eyes were a little dazed.The climate here is quite different from that of Fengjue Country. Fengjue Country has four distinct seasons, but there is a lot of rain in the hottest summer, so it won't be so dry.But here it was as if it had been thrown into the stove and was about to be dried.

"Drink more water. There is a post two hours later, we can stop and rest for a while. But we have to get out of the desert while it is dark, otherwise there will be wolves."

Mo Li took out the water bag and put it in Feng Yao's hand, then pushed Lan'er's shoulder, and called softly: "Lan'er? Can you hold on?"

"I'm fine." Lan Er was also weak, but when Mo Li called her, she sat up by herself, looking better than Feng Yao.

Mo Li touched Feng Yao's forehead and face again, although they were both hot, they did not have a fever.He instructed: "Staying bored in the carriage like this is not an option, it's better to go out for a walk. Occasionally when there is wind, you can still breathe."

Feng Yao responded casually, but before Mo Li could leave, he heard a "plop", Feng Yao fell headfirst, and actually fainted.

Mo Li panicked immediately, hugged Feng Yao up, pinched the person and slapped his chest, then took the water bag and poured the water on Feng Yao's face.Although rushing like this seemed a bit embarrassing, Feng Yao finally woke up.

"Buli, I really don't know how you survived from childhood to adulthood." Feng Yao smiled wryly, but he was fine at last.That is mild heatstroke, dizzy for a while, just cool down.

Mo Li still had lingering fears, so he hurriedly called the military doctor over, found two pills for Feng Yao and Lan Er to swallow, and ordered to speed up and get to the station as soon as possible.

When they arrived at the post station, Feng Yao couldn't laugh or cry when he saw him.What kind of post station is here? It's just a few mounds and a few walls.There were two clerks who looked like post stations, but their clothes were worn out and patched, and their faces were dark and rough from the sun and wind. They were even more desolate than poor peasants who had been in drought for three years.

Later, Feng Yao accidentally saw the square fire marks on the temples of the two people and realized that these two people were criminal ministers who were sent here.It's no wonder that ordinary petty officials would not come to such a place.

However, these two people were extremely enthusiastic. Although they only guarded a few pieces of earthen walls, they set up a shed on the wall early when they saw a large group of people passing by.And draw water from a deep well behind.This is a desert, so the well was drilled very deep, but there is not much water.

The two men went to fetch water when they saw the army approaching from afar, and they had to wait for a long time to fetch another bucket of water after filling one bucket. By the time Moli and the others got out of the car and settled down, there were only three buckets of water. Enough for each soldier to share a bowl.

When Feng Yao got out of the car, he felt that his skin was scorching hot. Mo Li brought the cool water from that night to Feng Yao, and took out the handkerchief to pour it out. Feng Yao hurriedly held him down, and asked :"What are you doing?"

"Wipe your face with a wet veil. There is not much water, not enough for you to wash your face, so you can just moisten the veil." Mo Li smiled, but his heart hurts.He saw that Feng Yao's fair and porcelain face was not only flushed by the blow, but also a little wrinkled.It is estimated that after walking through this desert, her face was also sunburned, and the skin will peel off soon.

"Farewell, I see that this water is expensive, each person has a bowl of water, how can I use it to wipe my face. I am not so delicate, on the way to Fancheng, I have to walk step by step in such heavy snow In the past. Sometimes you can step on your knees with one foot, don’t they all come here.” Feng Yao smiled and shook his head, took the bowl from Mo Li’s hand, drank half of it in a big gulp, and then passed the bowl to him again. To Moli: "You don't dislike that I drank it, do you?"

Mo Li smiled, reached out to pinch Feng Yao's red face, and drank the remaining half bowl of water in one gulp.Then he helped Feng Yao to sit in the back shed.

The two little officials were waiting by the side when they delivered the water just now, at this moment they saw Feng Yao sitting in the back shed, so they came forward to salute.

One of them was a thin old man with a bent back, and his face was full of wrinkles, which looked very vicissitudes of life.She took a step forward and said: "Young lady has a good bearing, good looks, and she is a person with great ambition and great understanding. Presumably in the future, the people of my Yunqing country will have more blessings from the young lady."

The first two sentences were compliments, Feng Yao didn't care at all.But the latter two sentences sound shocking.Don't say that Feng Yao is a down and out princess now, but this is Yunqing country and not Fengjue country, how can the people here let Feng Yao protect them?

Feng Yao stood up again in a jerk, looking at the old man cautiously, not knowing what the other party's sudden words meant.
