The blazing light of the fire shone on the mountain wall, driving away the dampness and coldness in the cave.
She stretched out her hand from the quilt and warmed it by the fire for a while, feeling that her body was gradually getting warmer.
"I want to tell you something." Mo Chuan suddenly spoke, his voice heavy.
"Um."
She hummed softly, already having some premonitions in her heart.
"That kind-hearted peasant couple..." He paused and his voice deepened, "They were killed by a group of killers in black who suddenly appeared. You fainted at that time. I didn't know what happened to you. What happened? I was just about to think of a way to save you. That group of killers came out of nowhere, killed the couple, and wanted to hunt you down. I took you here to avoid their pursuit. "
Shen Ning's heart suddenly sank. Although she had expected it, she still felt sad.
If it weren't for her, the peasant couple wouldn't have died. She was the one who harmed them!
"Were those killers ordered by the Seventeenth Princess?" She gritted her teeth and said coldly.
No matter what, she must find out who is behind it, and she must avenge the kind-hearted peasant couple!
Mo Chuan shook his head: "I'm not sure, but it's likely to be under the command of the same person. This group of black-clad killers are dressed exactly the same as the group of people who chased you last time."
"That seventeenth princess, what hatred does she have against me? Why must she put me to death?" There was disbelief in her eyes.
Mo Chuan shook his head again.
"I don't know. If you want to know, I can try to find out."
Shen Ning looked at him: "Are you willing to help me?"
"Of course." Mo Chuan nodded without hesitation and stared at her: "I am willing to do anything for you."
Her heart trembled, she lowered her eyes and avoided his sight.
"If I couldn't give you what you want, would you still help me like this?" she asked softly.
Mo Chuan suddenly smiled.
She thought she was helping her like this just to get her? She also underestimated herself.
"Yes." He said briefly.
He wanted her heart, but he would never use it as a bargaining chip to ask for anything from her. He would never say this.
She raised her head in surprise and looked straight at him: "Really?"
"real."
"Then, I would like to ask you to help me find out about this matter, why Princess Seventeen sent a killer to kill me, and how they found the farmhouse." She said with a clear mind.
Mo Chuan nodded and stretched out his hand to her.
She only shrank back slightly and then stopped, looking at his palm pressing on her forehead.
"Good, your fever is gone."
Mo Chuan said with relief that she finally no longer had a fever. As long as the fever went down and she got enough rest and recuperation, she would soon be back to health.
You know how distressed he felt when he saw her looking so sick and weak!
He really wanted to bear all the illness and pain for her. As long as she was healthy, he would rather she kept talking coldly to him without false words, rather than see her being so tortured by illness.
The experience last night was like a nightmare to him. When he held her, she huddled tightly in his arms and shivered like a small animal, seeking a warm embrace. Her limbs were cold, but her forehead was hot, which made him My heart felt like it was boiling in a frying pan.
