Sheng Ling coughed and wanted to grab his hand, but he didn't let her touch it and hid her in the tight haystack to prevent the slightest cold wind from blowing in.
"Ruo Jin... how are you..."
Sheng Ling was very scared and worried that something would happen to him.
But people outside ignored her and didn't let her go out.
Sheng Ling couldn't restrain her tears from falling. She shook the haystack and called him with choked sobs, "Ruojin, don't scare me. Just say something..."
After a long while, he finally patted the haystack outside to express his response.
Sheng Ling was about to ask him to hide in, but he vaguely heard the sounds of pursuit in the distance, and immediately after, the people guarding outside the haystack quickly got up and ran away.
Sheng Ling covered her lips tightly, her lips were trembling, and she bit her skin until the skin bled, but she still did not dare to make a sound.
She knew that He Ruojin had gone to attract the enemy to chase him, so she couldn't make a sound.
She can't...
Sheng Ling cried silently, her hands trembling violently.
There was nothing she could do but pray desperately that he was okay.
The blizzard outside was raging against the eardrums. Sheng Ling hugged herself tightly and shed tears.
She opened her eyes very hard, trying to see something through the gaps in the haystacks, but everything was dark and she couldn't see anything.
Moreover, as his mind became more and more dizzy, he didn't know when he would shed tears and lose consciousness again.
When she woke up again, her throat was no longer so stinging and cracked. She realized in a daze that someone had gotten water from somewhere and was feeding her water.
Sheng Ling stretched out her little hand weakly, touched it randomly, and touched a tattered cuff of her clothes. Her voice was still hoarse, and she called out in a low voice: "Ruojin?"
The person who fed her water didn't react at all. He held a container of water in his hand and carefully fed it to her mouth.
"Why don't you speak? You... what's wrong with you..." Sheng Ling raised his head, his eyes were red. Although he couldn't see anything, he was worried that he was too worried.
He was silent for a long time, but still insisted on feeding her and drinking water. Then he gently grabbed her little hand and wrote softly on her palm: Poisoned.
Sheng Ling was stunned, breathing a little tremblingly: "You're poisoned, so you can't speak, right?"
Sheng Ling remembered that her eyes could not see because of Liang Jun's trick, and she immediately hated Liang Jun even more.
She herself was afraid that she would never be able to see it, but she was even more afraid that He Ruochen would not be able to speak.
Sheng Ling, in turn, held his hand tightly and said, "When we get back, the imperial doctor will definitely be able to do something."
He didn't seem worried, he just took his hand out of her little hand and gently touched her head.
"Ruo Jin, let's go find Father and the others quickly. You are still seriously injured and cannot be delayed like this."
He nodded.
After a long time, she was taken out of the haystack.
But this time, he didn't hug her, but handed the prepared stick made of thick branches into her hand, asking her to use it to identify the way forward.
Sheng Ling was slightly startled, but didn't say anything and obediently grabbed the cane.
"Ruo Jin, shall we go find the emperor now?" Sheng Ling turned around subconsciously, a little confused.
He was by her side, leading her in a different direction, holding her hand and walking forward.
Sheng Ling was a little scared because she couldn't see anything. She shook the front of the snow with her stick and held his hand tightly.
It seems that this is the only way to feel a little more at ease.
I don’t know how long they walked. When Sheng Ling finally got used to the pace, the person next to him suddenly let go of his hand.
Sheng Ling was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and shook it slightly, but did not touch He Ruoxin.
"Ruo Jin?" Sheng Ling was a little confused, "Where are you?"
No one responded to her.
Sheng Ling waited for a long time and finally panicked. She shouted, "Ruojin, where are you, Ruojin?"
She swayed around with the cane he made with trembling hands. She was trembling and walking randomly, swinging the cane back and forth. She was so scared, "Where are you Ruojin? Don't scare me..."
Sheng Ling didn't know where he was going, he didn't know where He Ruojin was headed, and he didn't know where to turn back.
She walked in a daze, calling to He Ruoxin as she walked. From time to time she tripped over the stones under her feet, and no one could help her.
She could only wipe the gray snow from her face, stand up with her stick, and continue looking for someone.
He Ruojin... seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Can't see it, can't touch it, can't find it.
Suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves in front of her. Sheng Ling froze and did not dare to move. She thought it was the enemy coming.
If she could see it, she could find a place to hide, but now she didn't even know where she was, and she was worried about He Ruojin, and she was even more panicked.
But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the front, "Ling'er!"
Shengling was stunned for a moment, then when she realized something, tears suddenly fell down her face. She stretched out her hands, waved them and shouted with a choked voice: "I'm here! I'm here!"
She was afraid that he wouldn't hear her, so even though her throat still hurt, she still yelled desperately.
The next moment, she was hugged by a weather-beaten man. Sheng Ling also cried and hugged him tightly, "Ruojin, Ruojin, are you okay?"
He Ruojin hugged her tightly, lowered his head to kiss her hair, pressed her head into his arms, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "I'm fine..."
"I couldn't see anything, I thought something was wrong with you, wuwuwu..."
He Ruochen caught the key words that Sheng Ling could not see, then slowly raised his head and looked behind Sheng Ling sharply.
Far away from the messy footprints in the snow, Li Yu stood under a lone silver tree. His clothes were dyed red, but he calmly stared at Sheng Ling who was held in his arms, without any reaction at all.
He Ruojin looked away lightly, picked up Sheng Ling, and whispered, "Get in the carriage first."
Sheng Ling's face was filled with tears, and she nodded obediently, letting He Ruoxin carry her into the carriage. She didn't realize it at all. Her whole body was hot, she was having a high fever, her head was dizzy, and she was about to faint.
He only knew that He Ruochen was by his side and that he was fine for the time being, so he could breathe a little easier.
He Ruochen carried Sheng Ling into the carriage, untied her cloak, put it on her, tied her belt, touched her head and said softly, "Wait for me."
Sheng Ling grabbed his hand, but had to let go and nodded.
He Ruojin put down the curtain, got off the carriage, rode in the direction of Li Yu, quickly reined in the horse, stopped in front of Li Yu, dismounted, looked at Li Yu, and said calmly: "I need to see a doctor." ?"
He didn't know where he was injured, but when he saw that he was covered in blood, he asked anyway.
However, Li Yu just looked away from the carriage in the distance and said calmly no.
He Ruojin was silent for a moment, and then said: "Thank you for saving my fiancée's life. When she gets better, I will tell her that you saved her."
"No need." He paused slightly, still looking calm, "There's no need."
"No matter what, thank you for saving her." He Ruojin said.
"She can't see and she has a high fever. The first thing you should do when you take her back is ask the imperial doctor to treat her injuries."
"I know."
"Let's go." Li Yu said.
He Ruojin stared at him, said nothing, jumped on the horse, turned around and left.
Li Yu suddenly spoke again: "Prince Su asked me to remind you that at this time of year, avalanches often occur in Nanjiang City, and the Sheng army can use avalanches to defeat the Liang army."
He Ruojin reined in his horse, turned around and looked at him and said, "Thank you very much. Is Mr. Su still in Nanjiang City?"
Li Yu only said, "He is fine for now."
He Ruochen's soldiers and horses quickly left, taking Sheng Ling with them.
Li Yu waited until the sound of horse hooves faded away, and finally lost all support. He endured the heartbreaking pain and took out half of the poisonous arrow from his back with one force. Blood splashed all over the snow.
He finally fell down convulsively from the pain and could no longer stand up.
