Back in the cabin, Caixue was still in a coma.
I sat by the couch and lovingly wiped the sweat off her forehead.
Her body temperature was very hot.
According to Sun Sanfen, fever is a normal phenomenon.
I wet the towel with cold water and covered her forehead.
The scene of Caixue trying to block the sword despite herself always appeared in front of my eyes.
I looked at her haggard pretty face and said silently in my heart: "Caixue, if I become successful and famous one day, I will never forget you.
This deep affection” Caixue's delicate body suddenly trembled, as if she was falling into an extremely terrifying nightmare: "Your Highness, please don't, don't, don't."
I held her dancing catkins.
She just calmed down, and then said in horror: "Don't kill me, don't want."
Crystal tears slowly slid down from the corners of her eyes and dripped silently on the pillow.
I wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with pity.
This weak girl must have experienced hardships that others could not imagine.
Caixue's body temperature still couldn't come down, so I called in Sun Sanfen.
He used golden needles to treat Caixue's acupuncture points, and then lit an incense in the cabin, and the cool breath of mint spread in the air. middle.
I personally sent Sun Sansan out of the cabin, but he had no intention of leaving immediately.
He whispered: "I have a few words to ask Your Highness."
I nodded and said, "Mr.
Sun, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Sun Sanfen and I came to sit at the bow of the ship.
The sky in the distance had already revealed a hint of blue and gray.
A new day was coming.
After a night of war, my clothes were torn in many places and my face was covered in wounds.
There are traces of smoke from the fireworks, but this does not detract from my heroic appearance at all.
Sun Sansan put down the medicine box between the two of us, stared at me with piercing eyes and said: "I have something unclear, old man.
Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, and all the princes try to avoid it.
Why did King Ping go upstream and be alone?"
Are you really putting your life and death at risk when you go to a dangerous situation?"
I smiled lightly and asked, "What do you think, sir?"
Sun Sansan said sternly: "When you are living in this world, you must first consider your own interests and safety in everything you do.
Even saints and sages are not immune to secularism.
Your Highness knows that the future is difficult and dangerous, but he still takes risks.
He must have other motives."
I frowned slightly, what was the purpose of Sun Sansan’s words to me?
Sun Sansan continued: "What His Highness did last night suddenly made me realize."
My gaze rested on Sun Sanfen's deep eyes.
This man was unpredictable and never looked like what he appeared on the surface.
Sun Sanfen said: "Your Highness regards all people as his own responsibility, but in fact he has integrated his own interests with the people of Dakang.
Your Highness has regarded Dakang as part of himself."
I had already heard the hidden meaning behind his words, and waved my hand lightly and said: "Sir, you are overthinking it.
Yinkong just wants to resolve the war in front of him and save the people from the disaster of war.
He does not have the grand ambitions that the sir said." " I stood up and was about to leave when I heard Sun Sansan say: "Although I am old, I still clearly remember the scene on the day Your Highness was born."
I stopped abruptly.
"His Royal Highness neither cries nor laughs.
His fists are clenched and his left foot is on the seven stars.

He looks like an emperor."
Only a few people know about the seven red moles on my left foot.
Although Emperor Xinde is my father, he has never I don’t know this because I was born in the cold palace.
From birth to my mother’s death, my father never came to see me.
I immediately thought that when my mother gave birth to me, Sun Sansan had been waiting in Qingyue Palace.
Although Po Wen delivered the baby, he must have seen the soles of my feet.
I said coldly: "What did Mr.
Sun mean when he told me this?"
Sun Sanfen opened the medicine box, took out a map, and slowly unfolded it on top of the medicine box.
I looked down and saw that the boundaries of the Eight Kingdoms were drawn on this map.
It was different from the current one.
At that time, Dakang was the most popular among the people.
As the head of the country, all its neighbors bowed to it.
At that time, the area of Qin was less than half of what it is now.
Sun Sanfen said: "This map was left to me by His Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince he mentioned was my eldest brother Long Yinji, the only prince who was canonized by Emperor Xin De.
Unfortunately, he fell ill suddenly when he was twenty-three years old.
His death can be said to be an untimely death.
If he had survived until now, he would have been the one sitting on the dragon throne.
Since the death of the eldest brother, Emperor Xinde has never canonized a prince again, and he has not even thought of passing the throne to us princes.
Sun Sanfen said: "This map depicts the territory a hundred years ago, when Dakang was at its peak."
He rerolled the map and handed it to me.
I looked at him a little strangely, wondering why he wanted to forward this map to me.
"The prince said before he died that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will give this map to someone who has the ability to restore prosperity."
Sun Sanfen's expression was extremely sincere.
A strange feeling arose in my heart.
Although I didn't know what Sun Sansan's real purpose was, I was clearly aware that I wanted to get this map.
I solemnly accepted the map, and Sun Sansan's tense face showed a knowing smile.
He picked up the medicine box, said goodbye to me and left.
Caixue's fever subsided quickly after Sun Sansan's treatment.
Her hands and feet became cold again.
Sun Sansan just explained the possible situation to me, and I added another layer of quilt for her. , move the brazier in front of the bed.
His hands reached into the quilt and rubbed Caixue's slender feet to speed up the blood circulation in her body.
I have always thought that my self-control is quite outstanding, but since my first taste with Concubine Zhen, I have always thought of the romantic and charming scene in my mind, picking the soft and round jade feet of snow, which is exactly what I want.
A test.
Although I am not a gentleman, I also know the truth about not cheating in the darkroom, not to mention that I am facing a girl who just sacrificed her life to save me.
After experiencing the thrilling battle last night, I was so tired that I actually fell into a daze in my wild thoughts. fell asleep.
When I woke up, Caixue's slender feet were still in my arms.
I looked up and saw Caixue's shy and beautiful eyes.
It looked like she had been awake for a long time.
I hurriedly put her Let your feet go.
Caixue let out a light sigh.
"Is the wound painful?"
I asked with concern.
Caixue shook her head shyly and whispered: "My feet are numb."

I immediately woke up and realized that my feet must have been pressed down by me for too long and my blood circulation was poor.
Caixue saw that I was sleeping soundly, so she suppressed the pain and numbness and did not wake me up.
I straightened my robe, stood up, and stretched my waist.
From the west porthole, I could see that it was almost dusk, and the fiery red sunset seemed to burn the entire sky.
Caixue struggled to sit up, and I hurriedly stepped forward to hold her shoulders: "You are still seriously injured, so don't move too much."
Caixue said in fear: "How can Caixue occupy His Highness's bed?"
I smiled and said, "You have the right to treat it as if I lent it to you.
From now on, the rent will be deducted from your monthly salary."
Caixue whispered: "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness."
In fact, I should have said this to her.
When I was about to thank her, I suddenly heard someone shouting loudly outside: "Qin State Fleet."
I was slightly startled in my heart.
Qin State had sent a ship to meet her so quickly.
I helped Caixue lie down again, and then walked out of the cabin.
Many people had already crowded onto the bow of the boat, and King Yong was among them.
When he saw me coming out, he hurriedly waved to me and said, "There are two warships of the Qin State in front of us."
This is the intermediary section of the river between us and the Qin State. , the two countries share this section of the river, and generally no warships come here.
People made way for a passage, and I calmly came to the bow of the ship.
Looking up, I saw two giant building ships slowly approaching our direction on the waters ahead.
The black battle flags on the building ships were facing the wind.
Floating, with a big Qin character embroidered on it.
King Yong sighed: "It hasn't been long since the Qin people established a navy, but they have already mastered the art of building large ships."
I sighed in my heart at the same time as him.
In the past ten years, Qin's national strength has been greatly improved.
The military has developed extremely rapidly, and its comprehensive strength has clearly surpassed that of Dakang.
Thinking back to the time when Dakang's naval forces arrived, they were invincible.
Now the Qin people can build the large ships that Dakang is proud of, and they are long-lasting.
It is much wider and taller than us.
I loudly ordered: "Stop marching and watch the opponent's changes."
Our ship was sandwiched between the Qin's two tower ships, one on the left and one on the right.
Several planks of wood stretched out from the left ship, forming a temporary bridge between the two ships.
Three Qin generals in black helmets strode over from the temporary bridge.
I signaled all my crew members and guards to retreat to a place two feet away behind me, and together with King Yong faced the general of Qin.
It can be seen from their clothing that their ranks are very low.
In Dakang, they are at most equivalent to a captain of a thousand people.
"It's Yinkong, Kang's proton," the short and fat general of Qin in the middle shouted loudly.
I replied unhurriedly: "I am Yinkong, the thirty-first son of Xinde Emperor of Dakang."
The three generals looked at each other.
The short and fat officer took out an imperial edict and loudly said: "Proton Yinkong receives the edict."
As soon as these words came out, everyone on our side showed anger at the same time.
You must know that although I came before I came as a hostage, but after all, I am the prince of Dakang.
These Qin generals not only called me by my first name, but also used their country's imperial edict to humiliate me.
It was really too much.
The black-faced general on the left opened his eyes wide and said to me fiercely: "Why don't you kneel down?"
King Yong next to me was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

His knees weakened and he almost fell to his knees on the deck.
Fortunately, I caught him in time.
I said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Do the three generals know where they are standing?"
The short and fat general smiled disdainfully and said: "Of course it is the territory of Great Qin" I smiled calmly and said: "But I thought that the three generals were standing on the deck of Dakang's ship.
Although Yinkong was stupid, he knew that he could only worship one king and one master in the country."
King Yong's fat face smiled slightly.
Turning red, he obviously heard my overt sarcasm towards him.
The short and fat general actually laughed.
He looked me up and down, and then said: "Don't blame me, Prince Ping.
We were just playing a little joke on you."
He pointed behind him: "I'm here specifically to pick up King Ping Yijia."
I was slightly startled, couldn't our building ship reach Qindu directly?
Why did they suddenly change their mind?
The general said: "Your Majesty once left the water of Da Qin for imperial orders, and did not carry the Kangzhou.
King Ping and the accompanying servants please come on board with me.
Other irrelevant personnel can return immediately."
The sage he spoke of was Yan Yuan, the king of Qin.
It was in his hands that Da Qin developed into what it is today.
However, his hatred for Dakang was extremely deep, as can be seen from what he said just now.
I made up my mind in an instant, since sooner or later I would fall into the hands of the Qin people as hostages, why bother letting these people go on adventures with me.
I nodded and said, "You guys make room for me.
I'll have people carry the gifts for the King of Qin."
Hearing what I said, King Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
For him, this arduous journey was finally relieved.
He had long lost the courage to accompany me to the capital of Qin.
Back in the cabin, Caixue had already struggled to sit up.
The noise coming from outside made her aware of what had just happened.
Before I could speak, she had already said, "If you leave me, I will die on this ship."
Perhaps because of her impatience, she even forgot to call me Your Highness.
I laughed, and Caixue's eyes became more and more confused.
She couldn't guess what I was really thinking.
Of course I would not abandon her.
Ever since she blocked the sword for me, under any circumstances, I won't even leave her behind.
When I helped Caixue out of the cabin, everyone's eyes were full of surprise.
It was hard for them to imagine that as a prince, I would be so considerate to a book boy.
Sun Sansan slowly came to me carrying his medicine box.
He took Caixue from my hand and said, "Let the old slave do these things."
I stared at him for a long time, and Sun Sansan smiled and said: "I have been in Dakang Palace for forty-three years.
To this day, I am still only a fourth-grade medical officer.
I will not have any chance of promotion if I stay in the palace.
I am willing to follow Prince Ping with my dying body.
This little medical skill may be of help to you."
My mind instantly thought of countless reasons for rejecting Sun Sansan, but they were immediately rejected by me.
No matter what his purpose was, I firmly believed that he had no ill intentions towards me.
How could a down-and-out prince like me have such reasons?

What value is worth utilizing?
My steps were firm and calm.
When I passed by King Yong, he took my hand and handed me an envelope: "Here is the auspicious list of gifts.
Have a safe journey."
I patted the back of his hand gently: " Thanks" When I stepped onto the steps, all the warriors and sailors on the ship knelt down at the same time: "Farewell to His Royal Highness Prince Ping."
My body shook slightly, but I did not look back.
The choice ahead is my own, and I will not hesitate.
Go on
