I don’t know how long I slept, but my drowsiness gradually faded away. I suddenly felt a dazzling light. I opened my eyes and followed the light. A figure from the backlight opened the curtain and came in, holding a bow and arrow in his hand and said with a smile: “You finally slept alright?"

I looked at Li Chengyin's happy face, and said hoarsely, "Umm... when is it?"

Li Cheng Yin sat by the bed: "Don't care about the time, I'll take you to see something."

As he said, he called Yong Niang to help me wash up, I half-closed my eyes and got my hair combed and changed in a daze, Li Cheng Yin dragged me to a hut.

In the field of vision, there is a tall little red horse standing there. Under its feet is a foal that has not yet shed its afterbirth. It is lying on the ground, the horse's hooves kicking again and again, and the wet soil is under its body.

In fact, I'm not very surprised, our Xizhou is originally a nation on horseback, Li Chengyin has obviously never seen it before, and he can't take his eyes off it.

Although the foal is undersized, it has the same red fur as its mother. I can't help but think of the little red horse I raised in the Western State.

Li Chengyin took my hand and said: "I heard that the pony can stand up by itself, do you think it can stand up?"

I tilted my head and looked at it for a while: "It looks quite healthy, and it must be able to stand up."

Sure enough, after the groom brushed against it, its legs fluttered for a while, and it straightened up crookedly.

Li Chengyin held my hand nervously, looking forward to it.

I, who was not very curious at first, was affected by his emotions, and I couldn't help becoming nervous.

After struggling for a while, the pony finally stood up with difficulty.

Li Chengyin heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled at me: "I can really stand up! It's much better than us born who can't even turn over!"

The groom seemed to be a foreigner, and his dialect from the Central Plains was not very standard: "This stallion is a good breed among horses, and it is stronger than other horses."

I looked at the little red horse very kindly, and asked Li Chengyin: "Is this our accompanying horse?"

Li Chengyin raised his eyebrows suddenly: "Do you like it very much?"

I nodded: "You don't know, I raised a little red horse when I was in Xizhou, and after I married Toyoto..."

I recalled it for a while, but I didn't seem to remember its whereabouts, and said with some frustration: "I forgot what happened to it afterwards."

Li Cheng Yin restrained his smile: "Then don't think about it, if you like it, I will ask them to give you this little red horse."

The groom was a little embarrassed: "His Royal Highness... this foal has just been born, and it needs to be fed by a mare for at least a month. If it works hard, it may not survive."

Li Chengyin put his hands behind his back: "It doesn't matter, just send it when the time comes."

The groom glanced at the pony, cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Li Chengyin's move made me both surprised and happy, I quickly grabbed his sleeve: "Really, can you really send me?"

His eyes rolled around: "Of course I can't send you off like this."

My smile disappeared, and I asked cautiously: "Then..."

Li Chengyin straightened his waist: "You kiss me, kiss me and I will send you off."

"Ah?" I looked around in embarrassment at the people, as well as the mare staring at us curiously, and hesitantly negotiated terms with him, "Then... can we go back and kiss?"

Li Chengyin didn't care, he leaned over: "Just kiss here."

I was anxious: "But this... this is too... You don't want to lose face, I want more..."

Li Chengyin saw that I was annoyed and ashamed, he smiled narrowly, and glanced at the people around him.

Shi En, Yong Niang and the others recited it with interest.

Li Chengyin blinked his eyes: "Is it okay now?"

I looked at the back of that puddle of water, feeling ashamed and indignant. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of the stunned groom and the unidentified mare, and stammered, "Yes, there are still people watching..."

The groom finally came to his senses, turned around quickly, paused, and stretched out his hand again, blocking the mare's sight with one arm.

The mare impatiently dug the soil under her feet with her hooves.

I swallowed, Li Chengyin smiled slyly: "What now?"

I don't turn my face away to do ideological construction for myself.

It doesn't matter, just treat it as being bitten by food, anyway, no one is watching anyway.

The short standing pony raised its head and looked at me curiously. My flushed face was reflected in a pair of bright black eyes.

Li Chengyin suddenly said: "If you don't kiss me, then I will."

As he said that, he suddenly lowered his head, and I quickly blocked his mouth and said hastily: "I, I, I... I will do it myself!"

After finishing speaking, I grabbed Li Chengyin's collar as if I made up my mind, stuck my neck and pressed a kiss on his face.

Li Chengyin stretched out his hand to cover the back of my head as I was in a hurry to leave, and said in a low voice: "I kissed in the wrong place..."

He took the initiative to kiss my lips.

I was so dazed by his kiss that I finally let go.

He raised the corner of his mouth and touched his lips, looking at me with a half-smile.

I clasped my hands together in dejection, and muttered to the little pony: "You must grow up to be tall and strong, and don't let me down with my sacrificial appearance!"

Li Chengyin looked at my nagging, finally couldn't help it, raised his head and laughed.

The days in the paddock passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye they began to leave camp and return to the palace.

I was a little reluctant, and looked at the vast land from a distance in the carriage.Yongning patted my knee: "It's okay, I can still come in the future!"

I sighed: "Who knows, if the court gets busy, even if I want to come to Li Chengyin, I won't be able to do it all at once."

Yongning withdrew his hand, and was silent for a while: "Sister-in-law... Actually, you really miss Xizhou, don't you?"

I looked at the unsteady scenery in my sight, and the back of Li Chengyin on the horse, lowered the curtain, and said in a low voice: "It's so far away, I can't even remember."

Yong Ning didn't ask again, but held my hand, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, when the court is stable, brother will definitely take you where you want to go."

I smiled and said, "There is no eternally stable court, only ever-existing strife. Although I like these places very much, but... I am the princess of the Rich Dynasty, so I cannot be so capricious."

Yongning lowered his eyes, looked up at me again, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, brother... will try hard to make you self-willed."

The field wind with the fragrance of green grass blew the curtain, I turned my head away, Li Cheng Yin held the rein, smiling warmly and warmly in the sun.

After returning to the palace, Li Chengyin was really busy again, sometimes he would leave in a hurry even if he couldn't even eat, even if he came at night, he would always light the dim light to approve the papers.

I saw that he was so busy that his feet didn't touch his clothes, that he had managed to maintain his round face and lost weight again, so I asked Yong Niang to learn how to cook some food.

Li Chengyin rubbed his eyes and shook his head, seeing me carrying things over, he forced a smile out of his calm face: "You're here, why aren't you sleeping?"

I put the food on the table: "Shi En said that you are useless for dinner today, I was afraid you would be hungry, so I went to the kitchen to bring some food."

Li Cheng Yin smiled: "It's okay, it's just a meal, I can bear it."

After speaking, he looked down at the booklet again.

I tentatively asked, "You really don't want to try?"

Li Chengyin raised his head, studied my expression, and suddenly raised his brows: "Okay, I'll try it."

After speaking, he twisted a piece into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it quickly: "Very...very good."

I felt relieved, and shook my body happily: "Really, that's great, I just learned it in a few days."

Li Cheng Yin took a sip of water: "Well...it's too late, you should go back to sleep quickly."

At the end he added: "Did I disturb you?"

How can there be noise after a few doors?I waved my hand: "No, I just sleep a little... I can't sleep by myself, you should be busy, I'll take a rest first."

In order to prevent him from continuing to feel guilty, I pretended to doze off: "I'm asleep, I'm asleep, don't be busy too late."

After speaking, I went out with Yong Niang and closed the door.I looked back at the candlelit room, and said to Yong Niang: "Tell me, Li Chengyin actually has a special taste...I feel sweet when I eat it, but he thinks it's good."

Yong Niang coughed: "Mother, His Royal Highness is just special to you."

I didn't understand what she meant, and I was quietly proud of my cooking skills, and walked briskly to the bedroom with my hands behind my back.

Not long after I lay down, I felt someone beside the bed and turned around quickly.

Li Chengyin just took off his boots and coat, and quickly got into the quilt, I can still see his smiling eyes clearly in the dark: "Sure enough, can't sleep well alone?"

I shrank my neck and said embarrassedly: "Actually, it's okay..."

Li Chengyin hugged me into his arms, and rested his chin on the top of my head: "When this busy time is over, I will be able to accompany you well."

I pushed him without confidence: "Ah... I don't need company very much... Are you done with today's paperwork?"

Li Chengyin said in a muffled voice: "Well...let's approve it earlier tomorrow."

I suddenly remembered something: "Luo Xi seems to be giving birth soon, I was thinking about whether to prepare something for her child."

Li Cheng Yin's voice was soft: "Well... just find something expensive and give it away..."

"How can I do that?" I retorted in a low voice, "If I also have a baby, I definitely want to get along well with me and send some thoughtful things."

Li Chengyin's breathing suddenly paused, he was silent for a while, and said: "Well, you can think about it yourself, what do you need, tell Yong Niang to help you."

I thought about sending things in my mind for a long time, Li Cheng Yin hugged him even tighter, coaxed in a low voice: "Hurry up and go to sleep... wake up, there are good things waiting for you."

I suddenly became alert: "What?"

Li Cheng Yin spoke with a soft nasal voice: "You will know when you wake up."

Now that he was determined not to speak, I had no choice but not to ask, and closed my eyes to force myself to sleep.

Lying down, I felt some pain in my abdomen, but Li Chengyin didn't seem to move, I was afraid to disturb his rest, so I pretended to be asleep and turned over.

After a while, Li Chengyin suddenly stood up, I felt his breath approaching gradually, I quickly adjusted my breathing evenly.

Li Chengyin observed quietly for a long time, then slowly got up and grabbed the clothes on the head of the bed, and after getting dressed neatly, he opened the door with light steps, and whispered:

"Shi En, hold the lamp and go to the study."

Early in the morning, I was woken up by voices. As soon as I opened my eyes, Yong Niang ran in excitedly: "Crown Princess, the little pony is here! Go and have a look!"

"Really!?" I lost my drowsiness all of a sudden, "Take me to see it!"

As soon as I straightened my waist, I suddenly felt abdominal distension and pain started again, I lowered my head and took a deep breath.Seeing me frowning, Yong Niang quickly asked: "What's wrong with the Crown Princess?"

I waved my hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay, take me to have a look."

Yong Niang quickly helped me get up and combed my hair in a simple updo. As soon as I went out, Li Cheng Yin stood tall in the courtyard, wearing a moon-white long dress, which made him somewhat independent from the world.

When he heard the movement behind him, he stretched out his hand to me, and said with a smile, "Look, your prayer has worked, and it has really grown strong!"

I held his hand, these days he always looks gloomy because of things in the hall, finally there is something that makes him smile so happily, I really can't bear to brush his interest, forced a smile: "Yes Ah, so strong!"

Li Chengyin hugged my shoulders: "Pray again, let it grow up quickly, when it grows up, next year Qiuwei will be able to ride it to hunt, maybe it can run faster than my Qingcong !"

His eyes were full of bright smiles, which made my eyes sour. The strength I pressed on him gradually increased, and I couldn't help but want to curl up.

Li Chengyin noticed my strangeness, his smile faded, he grabbed my hand and asked: "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

I waved my hands tremblingly: "It's okay...just my stomach hurts..."

Li Chengyin frowned more and more tightly: "How much pain? Is it very painful? Then let's go into the house to rest... Pei Zhao, you take the horse away first! Yong Niang, hurry up! Call the imperial doctor!"

He supported me to barely stand, and said with relief: "It's okay, the imperial doctor is here, let's go in and rest!"

I clenched his cuffs tightly: "Let me... let me squat for a while, it will be more comfortable..."

As I said that, I didn't care about him anymore, and squatted down by myself.

He also squatted down along with me, supported me behind me, worried that I would fall on my back, pinched my cold fingers and asked, "What's going on? Did you eat something cold again?"

I felt weak when I spoke: "No...it's nothing..." Cold sweat broke out, and I felt trembling when the wind blew casually, "It's nothing..."

Li Chengyin was so anxious that he suddenly picked me up, staggered and ran into the house, muttering: "Yeah...it's okay...it'll be fine soon..."

As soon as he put me down, the imperial physician was trotted over by Yong Niang, knelt on the ground and had no time to salute, Li Cheng Yin dragged him over: "No, no! Look at her!"

The imperial physician scrambled forward, stretched out his hand to take my pulse, twisted the word Chuan on his brows, Li Cheng Yin couldn't speak fluently:

"How about...how?"

The imperial doctor took a step back and fell on the ground: "His Royal Highness! This... is related to the cold poison in the princess's body..."

Li Chengyin's hand holding me trembled slightly, after taking a look at me, he said in a deep voice: "Follow me to the study to discuss."

As he said that, he was about to get up, and I grabbed him: "I...my own physical...condition...I also want...to know..."

Li Cheng Yin paused, sat back down, and said to the imperial physician in a low but harsh voice:

"Think about how to say it, say a wrong word...I want your head!"

My mind was confused and I didn't understand what he meant. I just heard the imperial doctor was silent for a while, and then spoke in a resigned voice with fear in his voice:

"The Crown Princess... fell into the lake, and her body was very cold. The soup and medicine she is taking every day is not suitable for the symptoms. If she continues... her body will not be able to bear it... I am afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Li Cheng Yin's voice became cold, "Say it clearly!"

The imperial doctor shuddered: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid... I will die soon!"

Li Chengyin's whole body trembled, his Adam's apple moved, his hand holding me gradually became colder, and he said in a low voice: "Is there a way to solve it?"

The imperial physician kowtowed heavily: "If you stop using it, replace it with a decoction, which can save your life."

Li Chengyin's breathing was disordered, his chest heaved quite a lot, he wiped the cold sweat off my face with his hands, took a deep look at me, closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, and after a while of silence, he opened his mouth and said:

"Besides... are there other effects?"

The imperial physician almost stuck his whole body on the ground, hesitantly said: "Prince Princess... once the cold poison is cured... it will... definitely return to the past..."

Li Chengyin's face twitched slightly, after taking a deep breath, he waved his hand: "I see, let's go down."

"The minister...obey the order."

After the imperial doctor left, Li Chengyin hugged me and sat for a long time, until my body was relieved, he put me down and got up, his back was a bit bleak.

I couldn't understand his thoughts, I could only feel his hesitation and inexplicable fear.

After being alone for a long time, a court lady pushed open the door, holding something I often drink in her hand, and whispered: "Your Highness, is this soup still..."

Li Chengyin clenched his fists tightly, then loosened them again.

The palace maid said cautiously again: "Your Highness..."

Li Chengyin's veins popped out again on the back of his hand, he rushed up suddenly, grabbed the porcelain bowl with his hand, and slammed it on the ground!

Immediately, the ground splashed with debris, and everyone was shocked to kneel down in a hurry!

He was leaning sideways, his cheeks were tight, his eyes seemed to be piercing the ground.

Finally, he bent down, picked up a sharp piece of porcelain, and held it in his hand with more and more force.

The dark red blood slowly gathered on his wrist along the crevices of his fingers, drop by drop, and fell on the ground, forming a dark red pool of blood.
