Before the accident happened, Ji Xueting had already rested in the tent, and since the situation was urgent, it was naturally impossible for him to have time to put on the outer robes that he should wear when going out.And the season of Emperor Xuan's spring hunting election, although it is called spring, the climate is really not warm.There was just a spring snowfall a few days ago, but there was still a chill in the air.What's more, where Ji Xueting is now is in the deep mountains, and the tide in the middle of the night continuously surges out from the ground, wrapping the body wetly, even the joints are cold.

In the beginning, Ji Xueting's whole body was tense because of fleeing for his life, but he didn't feel anything, but now he came back to his senses with a sigh of relief, the fourth prince, who was always full of golden branches, jade leaves, brocade clothes, and food, was so cold that he couldn't even speak for a long time, so he could only hug him with his hands. With his shoulders hunched over, he was shivering in the silent, damp and bone-chilling cave, as miserable as an unattended underdog in winter.

In contrast, Yan Ci was also in a catastrophe and was hunted down by others, but Yan Ci was still dressed in white clothes, dignified as jade, at most, the hem of his robe was slightly stained with mountain mud, but his expression was indifferent. When leaning on the wall of the cave, the whole person looks so clear and quiet, with a sense of transparency that is not stained with dust.

It just formed a sharp contrast with Ji Xueting.

Yan Guizhen was sent into the palace by the Yan family because of the power of the noble concubine. As a son of a family, he was naturally incompatible with the fourth prince Ji Xueting who was notoriously difficult in the palace. Unspeakable struggle, the relationship between Yan Ci and Ji Xueting is naturally very awkward, it can be called cold.However, now in the cave, after clearly hearing the young man's suppressed gasps and the slight tremors from his shoulders, Yan Ci inadvertently remembered the scene of himself and the other party in the flower boat before.

Ji Xueting is not very old, and because of his poor health, even though he is an adult, his frame is still extraordinarily slender. It seems that with a little force, he can directly hold that young man with claws and claws in his hand... Thinking of this, Yan Ci said inaudibly sigh.

But at this time, because he noticed that the air flow in the cave seemed to be a little special, he stroked the wall with his hand, walked around the edge of the cave, and found that there was another universe here.

Coincidentally, this stone cave turned out to be a natural gourd shape, the entrance is obviously so narrow, but further in, the back side of the cave is quite spacious.And I think that the woodcutter Orion in the mountains also found that this place can shelter from wind and rain, so when the weather is bad, he will hide here for a while to spend the night. He left some firewood, grass, salt and other things in the corner of the cave.

"Your Highness, please come this way.

Yan Ci greeted Ji Xueting lightly.

Immediately afterwards, he squatted down, skillfully touched the flint left by his predecessors, drew a bundle of hay, and lit the bonfire in the cave.

It had to be said that in such a dark cave, only a blind man like him could be so comfortable.

The yellowish light of the fire slowly filled the entire cave, which should have been reassuring, but the little light made Ji Xueting subconsciously pull out the knife hidden in his sleeve and hold it in his hand, and then slowly, slowly moved towards the The blind man leaned against the side of his neck.

Because of this, when the dagger in his hand cut Yan Ci's throat, there would be no sound of breaking the wind.

Ji Xueting felt that Yan Ci was really weird.

Not to mention why the man is still so calm after going through such a dangerous situation, just saying that a son of a public servant like him is so proficient in lighting a fire, which is enough to attract suspicion.

Not to mention, just now he reminded Ji Xueting not to speak out without permission, but now he started to light a bonfire...

For a moment, Ji Xueting seemed to think of the teaching of the emperor's brother again: if there is anyone who makes him feel that something is wrong, he should be killed immediately, and the rest will be sorted out slowly, it is the palace that eats people the only way to survive.

Now that the mountains and rivers are in turmoil, the minds of the major aristocratic families have long been floating, and even some people in the imperial army intend to rebel and assassinate the emperor. What is the young master of the Yan family who is beside him thinking about?

Ji Xueting raised his eyes and looked at Yan Ci's calm face in the gradually brightening fire, the expression in his eyes was unpredictable.

But in the end, he still pursed his lips, and slowly retracted the dagger.

"You light your camp here

Huo, don't you want to attract people? "

Ji Xueting asked directly.

The voice was a little stiff.

Yan Ci raised his eyes and tilted his head slightly, as if to better hear Ji Xueting's words.

But Ji Xueting still tightened his back, always feeling that Yan Ci seemed to be looking directly at him.

"Look outside."

Yan Ci said.

Ji Xueting couldn't help but look out of the cave, then was startled.

It turned out that unknowingly, a thick mist had risen outside the cave.

Yan Ci can't see with both eyes, but it is precisely because of this that the other four senses are different from ordinary people's sensitivity.He had already smelled the moisture in the air, and he was sure that once night fell, there would be fog in the mountains here.

It's okay to light a bonfire.

"But if someone gets close, there is still a risk."

Hearing Yan Ci's explanation, Ji Xueting couldn't help but whispered.

With the long sword at his waist, Yan Ci poked the wood in the bonfire with precision, and when he heard this, he seemed to let out a slight sneer.

"That's natural, but even if there is a risk...it's better than the golden and precious Fourth Prince getting seriously ill due to the cold."

"you--"

"The fourth prince must be very cold." Yan Ci chuckled, before Ji Xueting could respond, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the nervous young man, and dragged him to the side of the bonfire.

"what are you doing?!"

Ji Xueting was shocked, and was about to jump away from Yan Ci's side, but he felt that Yan Ci's hand was pressing firmly on his back, directly pressing him on his knee, unable to move at all.

If Ji Xueting was a cat, even the tip of its tail would have been blown into a feather duster by now.The familiar scene made him shiver for other reasons besides the cold.

"Your Highness, you have been trembling." Yan Ci felt the thin body on his knees, and said, "Don't worry, I have never been in contact with the rebel party. Your Highness really doesn't have to worry, just relax by the fire."

After a while, he added: "If I were to plan this assassination, Emperor Xuan, the imperial concubine, and you, oh, yes, and your brother who thinks so much of himself... none of them can escape. How can there be such a situation full of mistakes and omissions, where you can't advance or retreat."

After the words fell, even Yan Ci himself couldn't help feeling a little confused, wondering why he suddenly became extra patient, and actually opened his mouth to comfort the cold and frightened precious little thing in his arms.

Fortunately, after hearing what he said, Ji Xueting seemed to think it made sense, and finally stopped struggling.

Even the seemingly absent killing intent finally completely faded away.

Only then did Yan Ci feel a little relieved in his heart, and felt a little inexplicable joy for no reason.

As a result, the next moment, he heard His Royal Highness the fourth prince sneer and said: "Oh? So you really care about me? Wait, why didn't I know before that the young master of the Yan family still has such loyalty and patriotism? Are you still worried that a mere prince will catch cold and get sick?"

Yan Ci raised his eyebrows, and unconsciously ran his fingers along Ji Xueting's back, pinching the boy's neck.

Ji Xueting's movements became stiff again.

Yan Ci said: "The fourth prince was joking, my Yan family is naturally loyal to the imperial court. What's more... If the fourth prince really catches cold, I will take you to escape in the daytime. Well, if that is the case, it is inevitable It’s too embarrassing for a blind person like me.”

The implication is that the reason why he cares about Ji Xueting so much is that he is really afraid that Ji Xueting's illness during the day will cause trouble for Yan Guizhen.

Ji Xueting was pressed on the man's knee, and his teeth were clenched tightly.

[After this incident, I went back to the capital... I want you to look good! 】

Ji Xueting thought with hatred in his heart, and instantly deduced countless ways to play tricks on others in his mind.

As a result, when he was angry, Yan Ci suddenly said: "You pick up the sword and take out the things in the campfire."

"what?"

Ji Xueting felt that Yan Ci had let go of the shackles, and quickly jumped up from the man's lap.

Then he followed Yan Ci's instructions,

After dubiously digging in the campfire for a long time, I was horrified to find a few pieces of cassava baked in the ashes.
