"Let's go take a look." Feng Ningyan also felt it was strange, so the three of them headed towards the Pingping Inn together.

When he got closer, he saw that the door of the inn was in tatters. Half of the door had fallen to the ground, the torn seal of the government officials had turned yellow.

There was nothing left in the lobby of the tavern. All the furniture had been taken away, and the broken things on the floor were still the mess of the night when the wedding procession was attacked.

The beams and pillars were covered with dust and cobwebs.

Feng Ning Yan looked around. It seemed that this place had been abandoned for a long time, and she couldn't help but say: "Everything here is still the same as when we were attacked. It seems that after the wedding procession, the government investigated and sealed this place away."

"Still, be careful." Shen Ling Jue looked at Jing Qi, indicating for him to take a closer look at the inn.

Jing Qi looked through all the rooms and then went down to the kitchen and firewood house in the backyard.

After a while, he returned, full of smiles. "Your Highness, Princess, guess what your subordinate has found?"

Seeing his hands behind his back, Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but laugh, "It can't be gold, silver, or jewelry. All the furnishings here have been moved away, not even a abacus bead has been left behind."

At this time, she suddenly felt a sweet fragrance in the air. She took a deep breath and suddenly clapped her hands. It's sweet potatoes! "

"Princess, aren't you being too smart?"

Jing Qi had a helpless expression as he opened his hands. There were indeed a few round sweet potatoes with moist soil on his palms.

"When I went to the kitchen in the backyard just now, I found that all the sweet potatoes in the garden had matured, so I dug a few."

Although the sweet potato was not very big, it just so happened to be the time of harvest. The tempting aroma it emitted made one drool. In the wild, this was a treasure rarer than prey.

When Feng Ning Yan smelled the fragrance, she felt her stomach growling. She couldn't help but take it and look at Shen Ling Jue, "Why don't we rest here for a while and roast some sweet potatoes to take along with us?"

Shen Ling Jue had originally planned to let her rest, so he smiled and said: "My wife isn't thinking about the King's Mansion's Qiulin Feast, and is instead fond of wild things such as wild persimmons, sweet potatoes with soil, and wild turtles and wild rabbits, the Southern Tiger Mountain Range … "It's not easy to support."

Feng Ning Yan covered her mouth and laughed, "How can it not be easy to support? The money I ate was not even worth a single cent! "Jingqi, I'll have to trouble you to dig more. Let's go to the back kitchen to clean up the cooking utensils."

"Haha …" "No trouble, no trouble at all!"

Jing Qi scratched her head. Seeing that the princes and princesses loved each other so much, she was happy for them as well. She hurried back to the backyard to dig up sweet potatoes.

Feng Ning Yan walked over to the stove. There was still some wood ash in the oven, but she didn't waste any time in burning it. She washed the iron pot clean and wiped off the ash on the stove. Her movements were extremely quick.

When Shen Ling Jue saw that she had cleaned up the entire stove in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but gently hug her and praise her in his ear:

"My wife is really virtuous and capable. No wonder her culinary skills are so good. This King truly has the fortune to be able to marry my wife from my previous life."

Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but smile, and turned back to glance at him: "In my previous life? "Let's not talk about our past lives!"

As she spoke to here, she recalled the tragic ending from her previous life. As she turned around and saw his smile, she felt a slight pang in her heart.

She turned around and gently touched his cheek. "I really owe you in my previous life. I will only live a peaceful life for you."

When Shen Ling Jue heard this, he also felt extremely guilty and hugged her tightly.

"Yan'Er, He Li may have been a stopgap choice, but the words you said when you made this decision left a thorn in my heart. "My identity has indeed tied you down and shackled you. I originally only wanted to protect you for your entire life, but in the end …"

"No." Feng Ning Yan wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Husband, even if we haven't gotten married, the Feng family and the Ning Nan Army are destined to be enemies that the crown prince and Shen You Huang will eliminate. "I was confused at the time, thinking that as long as you break away from the Southern Ning Army, Shen Youhuang's spearhead would only be directed at me, unable to harm your reputation and foundation."

Shen Ling Jue knew that her guardian's heart was moved, and his heart was even more moved. He bitterly smiled and shook his head, pitifully stroking her shoulders, "Idiot, even if you write ten times, a hundred times, and a letter of departure, I still want you …"

"Nonsense, I only wrote it once and it burnt clean …" Husband, in this life and in this life, I will never separate from you again! "

Feng Ning Yan tightly hugged him, her small face pressed against his chest. As she listened to his chaotic heartbeat and felt his body temperature, she couldn't help but feel intoxicated.

She raised her face and looked at his slightly shiny lips. She couldn't help but tiptoe …

"Ouch!"

At this moment, there was a shadow at the kitchen door. Jing Zhan was standing there stupidly with more than ten sweet potatoes wrapped around his clothes. He didn't know whether to come in or go out.

Shen Ling Jue frowned slightly, before unwillingly letting go of Feng Ning Yan, "What are you waiting for, go wash the sweet potatoes for."

"Oh!" Subordinate obeys! " Jing Qi secretly smiled and quickly carried the sweet potato to find a bucket of water.

Feng Ning Yan was also a bit embarrassed. With a blush and a dry cough, she hurriedly squatted down and fed the firewood to the stove.

However, she was too distracted to notice the thorns on the firewood. Her fingertips hurt and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah!"

Shen Ling Jue hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Ning Yan hurriedly placed her hands behind her back, and stammered, "It's nothing, just a prick …"

"This girl …" Shen Ling Jue frowned, and pulled her hand, pulling her towards the window towards the light, "Did you dig into the meat? "Let me see."

Then, as the morning sun slanted in through the window, he saw that her fingertips, white and tender, were dripping blood, and that a thick wooden thorn from cutting wood was embedded deep in her flesh.

Shen Ling Jue felt a burst of pain in his heart, gently holding her small hand, as though he wanted to pull out that thorn.

Feng Ning Yan was so frightened that she wanted to withdraw her hand, and looked at him with her flat mouth: "Husband, be more gentle …" It's really deep. It's really painful to pull it out! "

Shen Ling Jue looked up and saw her wronged expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Shh … The walls have ears, so if Jing Qi heard it, he probably wouldn't dare to bring the sweet potatoes in here for even two hours. "

"Hmm? "Why?"

Feng Ningyan stared blankly. Thinking back on what she had said, there was nothing to be afraid of. Why didn't Jingqi dare to come in?

A trace of a promotional smile flitted across Shen Ling Jue's eyes. He exerted some force with his nails and took advantage of the moment Feng Ning Yan was lost in thought to pull out that thorn.

Ah!" Feng Ning Yan finally reacted, she finally understood what Shen Ling Jue meant and couldn't help blushing, "You scoundrel! "So that's what you mean!

"Does it hurt?" Shen Ling Jue raised his head and asked.

"It doesn't hurt …" Feng Ningyan stared blankly at her hands, only to discover that the thorn had already been pulled out by him.

So that was what he had said on purpose just now, so that she wouldn't be distracted from thinking about the matter of the assassination!

"En, it's good as long as it doesn't hurt." Shen Lingjue nodded his head and sat in front of the stove. He suddenly became serious, "My wife, you are not allowed to light fires or add firewood from now on. Do these things for me."
