Chapter 113：

The night was extremely quiet, and the hazy moonlight flowed from the rising new moon, falling gently on the two of them.

Ming Tan looked at Jiang Xu with his head half upturned, his eyes seemed to be filled with the deep and emotional still water of the lake, his brows were getting closer and closer, and the warm breath between his thin lips was gradually spraying, Ming Tan seemed to be lost in it, not knowing what to do how to react.

When the distance between the tips of their noses was less than half an inch, suddenly there were a few barks of dogs not far away——

"Wow!"

"Wow woof!"

Ming Tan suddenly woke up, and immediately left Jiang Xu's embrace, and stood up limping, she didn't know whether she was frightened or what, her heart was beating very fast, and she didn't seem to calm down for a long time.

The dog barked very suddenly and fiercely, Jiang Xu stroked her back: "Are you scared?"

Ming Tan covered his heart and shook his head, then awkwardly broke away from his wide palm, and whispered as he walked forward: "Don't touch me, don't think that you can dismiss me by saying a few nice words."

"What I say is from the heart, not perfunctory."

Ming Tan walked forward in depths and shallows, glanced back from the corner of his eyes, and spoke with disgust: "Why didn't I hear the sound from my heart."

"I speak for it."

"..."

"His Royal Highness King Dingbei borrowed the words from Second Young Master Chaoshu to open his mouth, why can he speak so well tonight?"

Ming Tan wanted to ridicule him a few more words, who would have thought that there is a hunting hole set up by the farmer in the crops!

This hunting hole seems to be very hidden during the day, the hole is covered with a layer of soft mud and hay, hidden in the crops, it is extremely difficult to find, not to mention the lack of light at night. Ming Tan didn't pay attention, stepped on the ground, and stepped on it, and the words that were about to come out suddenly turned into a scream that pierced the night sky: "Ah!"

"Adan!"

Jiang Xu took a few steps away from her, and when he stepped forward, Ming Tan had already fallen into the trap. The soft mud and dry grass spread on the hole covered her body, and what was worse, there were traps placed by the farmer at the bottom of the hole. .

Ming Tan's foot, which was already sore from walking, was tightly caught by the trap, and she didn't feel it at first, but after a few breaths, the sharp pain hit, and a white light flashed in front of her eyes, she couldn't help it, and cried with difficulty. Shouted: "It hurts! Well, it hurts!"

The hunting hole was dug very deep, and the inside was also big. They were crowded together, and could accommodate two or three people. It was originally prepared for the wild hogs that go down the mountain at night to destroy the crops.

Jiang Xu squatted down, holding her hand tightly, trying to pull her up.

But she kept shaking her head: "My foot is clamped and I can't use it."

Jiang Xu paused, just now he thought that Ming Tan cried out in pain because he broke his foot, but now he realized that he was caught by the traps in the cave.

"Don't move, there may be other traps in there."

When Ming Tan heard the words, he was too frightened to move.

Seeing her trembling, Jiang Xu calmed down again: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He avoided Ming Tan, and stretched out his sword to probe the bottom of the cave, as expected, there were a few animal traps scattered in other places at the bottom of the cave, and where the blade was probing, there were a few "clicks", and the traps were all closed.

Only then did Jiang Xu put away his sword, leaped down from the hunting cave, grabbed Ming Tan's waist, and led her out of the trap.

Ming Tan was covered in weeds and dust all over his body, he was in a very embarrassing situation, his fair and clean face was also dirty, mixed with the tears pouring out from the pain, like a little sloppy just dug out of the soil.

Jiang Xu looked at the wound on her foot, the animal trap was still holding her foot tightly, and the white socks were soaked with blood stains.

Ming Tan was sweating on his forehead, and every inch he moved was painful.

Jiang Xu didn't move rashly, and carefully observed the animal trap on Ming Tan's feet for a while, this kind of animal trap is not very fashionable nowadays, there is no spike blade on it, but it is also more difficult to open than the fashionable animal trap nowadays, A key is also required.

Ming Tan's tears flowed non-stop, two white tear stains dripped from his dirty face, he hiccupped and asked, "You...can you...open it...open it?"

Jiang Xu raised his head and glanced at her bun. He didn't know how she became so simple today, and only used a wooden hairpin.

But now there is no more convenient tool at hand, so he still took off the wooden hairpin from Ming Tan's hair.

Seeing that he was going to use the wooden hairpin to open the lock, Ming Tan reminded tearfully: "Be careful!"

Jiang Xu thought she was worried that the wooden hairpin was broken in the lock, but she didn't expect that she then said: "This wooden hairpin is made of the best agarwood tribute from the South China Sea. It has a light pear fragrance that lasts for a long time. Master Lu's work is unique and unique, so don't ruin it."

When it came to the baby's things, she stopped hiccupping, and her feet didn't hurt so much anymore. Her eyes were full of tears, and she stared nervously at the animal trap on her feet.

Jiang Xu paused for a while, and his voice was a little helpless: "If it breaks, I will pay you."

"I said it was an orphan!"

"Is that Master Lu still alive?"

"Still."

"Since he is still alive, there is no absolute orphan. I found him, and if I can't make an identical wooden hairpin, I just don't let him go."

...!

"Idiot!"

With a very light "click", the trap opened.

Ming Tan's foot loosened, but the pain did not ease, on the contrary, it seemed to be released, and it became more intense.

Jiang Xu supported her.

She bit Jiang Xu's arm in pain.

Jiang Xu didn't move, he just stroked her back gently, and after she relaxed a little, he said in a deep voice, "I'll carry you back, and after taking the medicine, it won't hurt anymore, good boy."

He carried Ming Tan on his back carefully, avoiding the wound on her foot.

Ming Tan lay softly on the familiar but unfamiliar broad shoulders, for some reason, tears could not stop flowing down.

"It doesn't hurt if you say it doesn't hurt, and it's not you who hurts, liar!"

The wound on her foot seemed to implicate the memory of the previous arrow wound. The grievances and worries that had accumulated for a long time and all kinds of complicated emotions broke out completely. To appease, but it didn't work, Ming Tan just talked to himself to vent.

"You also said you wouldn't let me get hurt again, and I got hurt twice under your nose, what about His Royal Highness Dingbei, it's useless, hiccup!"

"It's my fault, I'm sorry, Adan."

"Of course it's your fault!" Ming Tan's eyes were sore from crying, swollen into two peaches, her vision was blurred, her voice was choked up, and she complained intermittently, "You, you still tear down my desk, sir It's to demolish me! Wu Hengyu, Lingmiao Temple, Huichun Tower...you know it when you know it, why, why do you keep saying it, I don't want to lose face!"

"No one else heard it." In the past, there were many things that were heard by others, but he didn't mention a word.

"If others didn't hear it, my face doesn't matter, right? You've got a reason... Hiccup!"

"Okay, it's my fault too."

"It was your fault in the first place. Besides, Second Master Shu would defend you. Why didn't you explain to me yourself? You only said that you let me believe you, that you liked me, that it was yours. Wrong, then where did you go wrong!"

Jiang Xu was silent for a moment.

In fact, after Shu Jingran spoke for him, he even wrote to him, in which he specifically told him that he should explain it to Ming Tan in person.

But these explanations, Shu Jingran can say, but he can't tell them apart. After all, he married her for an impure purpose, and Cheng Kangdi wanted to take back the military power. He guessed it well. Facts seem to be an excuse to shirk responsibility.

Ming Tan hiccupped again, his voice was hoarse from crying: "Why, you can't speak again."

Jiang Xu gently lifted her up: "It's all my fault for hurting you, frightening you, not taking your face into account, and failing to explain to you in time. And I didn't stop the Holy Majesty from taking back your father's military power." , it was my fault for putting your father in danger. When I get back to the palace, I will personally visit the door and make amends to my father-in-law, okay?"

Ming Tan thought to himself, this is more or less the same, but he didn't respond.

I don't know how Jiang Xu found the way. After walking for a while, he vaguely saw the familiar dim light ahead.

Su Xin Lue originally thought that it would be a good thing for the young lady and the prince to be alone together, so why not pack up the luggage first, maybe they will return home early in the morning. Unexpectedly, the two of them were indeed getting along alone, but halfway they met with a dirty face and an injured leg! The two of them rushed forward to meet people, and the people below were boiling water and calling for the doctor.

The doctor's medical skills in Zhuangzi can only deal with minor injuries. After bandaging Mingtan, he was still trembling, and he thought he whispered to Jiang Xu: "Wangfei's injury, this injury can be healed, maybe it will leave a scar. ——”

When Ming Tan heard the words, he suddenly exploded: "I don't want to leave a scar!"

"No scars will be left." Jiang Xu turned around and promised Ming Tan, and dismissed the doctor casually.

"How can you guarantee that the previous arrow wound, Minmin found me the best scar-removing medicine, but it couldn't completely get rid of it." Ming Tan's nose was flushed, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes, ready to burst out at any time.

"That's because the medicine she found wasn't good enough. On the way back to Beijing, I found Shuanghua Ointment."

"Shuanghua Cream? Really?"

Shuanghua ointment is the secret medicine of the royal family of Banshuang, a small country in the Western Regions. It has the miraculous effect of removing scars and nourishing the skin. It can make the skin white, tender and smooth, as delicate as porcelain. She also heard Bai Minmin's annoyance a few days ago that she had spent a lot of effort but failed to find this cream, so she knew that there was such a miracle medicine in the world.

Jiang Xu took out the Shuanghua ointment that he carried with him. Inside the small white jade bottle, there was a translucent ointment with a light smell, which was soothing to smell.

Ming Tan wanted to try to wipe it on his body, but Jiang Xu stopped him: "I have ordered someone to pass on the seal of the Imperial Physician. When the Imperial Physician Feng comes, it will not be too late to see how to use it for better effect."

makes sense.

Ming Tan let go of the small jade bottle and shrank into the brocade quilt.

"The medicinal materials used in this Shuanghua Ointment are expensive, and it is indeed effective in removing scars. However, this Shuanghua Ointment can only be used on the scabs that have healed. The princess's previous arrow wound can be used, but this injury on the foot—it is better to wait for a few days before using it. That's good." Imperial Physician Feng came late at night, looked at this precious medicine, and said cautiously.

Jiang Xu nodded: "It's time to work."

"This is what I should do." Imperial Physician Feng didn't know what to think of: "Oh, yes, the prince's medicine is used up? Now the coldness should not be a serious problem, take another bottle, and the cold poison can be wiped out."

"What cold poison?" Ming Tan was at a loss.

Imperial Physician Feng paused, slightly surprised: "Why, the princess doesn't know?"

Jiang Xu interrupted: "Nothing."

Ke Mingtan persisted and asked: "Physician Feng, what kind of cold poison is it?"

"This... the princess was hit by an arrow earlier, and the arrow was tainted with a strange poison, and she needed to use snow grass to counteract it. However, at that time, the princess couldn't swallow the medicine by herself, so she had to use her lips to cross it. The snow grass is so cold, the prince doesn't need it The solution is that I suffered from cold poison while taking the medicine—” Feng Taiyi paused, “But the prince’s cold is not deep, and his inner strength is deep, so the cold disease only occurs once a month, and the medicine prepared by the minister can relieve it.” , shouldn't be considered very serious."

When Ming Tan heard the words, his eyes shifted to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu avoided her eyes: "It's just a small matter."

Ming Tan remained silent.

After Imperial Physician Feng left, only Mingtan and Jiang Xu were left in the room, Jiang Xu whispered: "I'll stay, if you feel pain at night, call me."

"What's the use of calling you, you can't relieve the pain." Ming Tan muttered something in a low voice, then moved his body to the side very honestly, making room for Jiang Xu.

At night, the pain in Ming Tan's feet eased a lot. Seeing her sleeping soundly, Jiang Xu folded the quilt for her, and slowly closed his eyes.

In the dead of night, seeing that Jiang Xu was sleeping soundly, Ming Tan took advantage of the moonlight leaking into the room from the window, and very lightly lifted the jacket on Jiang Xu's back.

He has a broad back, but there are many old scars and new wounds on his head, intertwined with each other, which looks very scary under the moonlight.

Ming Tan lightly touched it twice, then carefully took out the Shuanghua ointment from under the pillow, dipped some ointment on the pad of his ring finger, and gently applied it on his scar little by little.
