After eating, Mu Yunjin lay down, half-closed her eyes, feeling tired, but she was always worried about something, and she didn't dare to completely relax and fall asleep.

On the side, Chu Li saw that her face was full of tiredness, but she always opened her eyes to look at it from time to time, and said in a gentle voice, "Sleep when you are sleepy, I won't throw you down halfway."

Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows. After hearing this, she still seemed uneasy, and asked again, "Really?"

"Really." Chu Li nodded.

At this moment, Mu Yunjin finally relaxed, closed her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Li leaned on the carriage, listening to the sound of even breathing from the carriage, her heart was filled with warmth, she stretched out her hand to cover her with a blanket, fiddled with the loose strands of hair on her forehead, and watched quietly. Looking at her sleeping face.

...

Mu Yunjin fell asleep for a long time, and when she woke up, she found that she was lying on a hard plank bed, surrounded by unfamiliar surroundings, and when she was the only one, she was so frightened that she immediately lost sleepiness and sat up.

When I put on my shoes and opened the door, I found that I was in an inn-like place, and there was a burst of noisy guests from downstairs.

Mu Yunjin frowned, and opened the window again. The strong light from outside shone in and hurt her eyes. She stretched out her hand to block the light, and found that the street below was bustling with people coming and going.

This should not be Cheongju.

But how could she be the only one?

What about Chu Li?

You can't really leave her here alone, can you?

Damn, the bastard!

Mu Yunjin walked out angrily, and when she reached the door of the next room, she knocked heavily on the door.

It was a woman who opened the door. Seeing Mu Yunjin standing outside the door, she looked her up and down with displeasure, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay." Seeing that the person she was looking for was not the one, Mu Yunjin said calmly.

"What's wrong with you? Are you deliberately playing me?" The woman was furious immediately, and yelled at Mu Yunjin with a high-pitched voice.

Just as Mu Yunjin was about to retort, the door on the other side was opened, and a familiar figure came out from inside. Seeing Mu Yunjin standing at the door in only her sleeping coat, her eyes were slightly displeased.

"Come here." An indifferent voice sounded from one side.

Mu Yunjin was startled, and immediately rushed over, before she could speak, she was dragged into the room by Chu Li.

Mu Yunjin was a little embarrassed, raised her eyes and looked at Chu Li, "I thought..."

"What do you think?" Chu Li squinted at Mu Yunjin, "Don't you know how to get dressed when you go out?"

Mu Yunjin lowered her head, only to realize that she was not wearing an outer shirt, she couldn't help but twitched her mouth, "I'll go change first."

"Wait." Chu Li called Mu Yunjin to stop.

Mu Yunjin stopped and looked back at Chu Li, "What's wrong?"

"I'll give you half an hour to take care of yourself and continue on the road." Chu Li said.

Mu Yunjin nodded and walked out immediately.

Back in the original room, Mu Yunjin breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Chu Li did not leave her here alone.

Simply prepared some hot water, and after taking a bath, Mu Yunjin changed into a very light dress, the skirt only reached her knees, and she stepped on a pair of cloth boots. Yun Jin looked in the mirror for a while, feeling inexplicably releasing her instinct.

This kind of dress is refreshing and comfortable.

When she got out of the room and went downstairs, Ding Xian was already waiting for her at the door of the inn. Seeing Mu Yunjin coming, she said in a low voice, "Princess, you can start now. The snacks have been put on the carriage."

Hearing the title of princess, Mu Yunjin frowned slightly, still not used to it.

Stepping into the carriage, the group set off again.

...

"Where were we just now?" After resting, Mu Yunjin, who was full of energy, crossed her legs, took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and looked at Chu Li casually.

Chu Li looked at her sloppy look, frowned slightly, "Put down your legs."

"Huh?" Mu Yunjin didn't react for a while, then looked down at her legs, curled her lips, and flattened her legs.

"Out of Linyin Capital, there is still one day to arrive in Qingzhou." Chu Li answered Mu Yunjin's question just now.

When Mu Yunjin heard that there was one day left, she suddenly lost her appetite. She put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, opened the curtains of the carriage, and looked at the scenery outside.

"If we go to deal with the flood in Qingzhou this time, if we can't solve it for a long time, will we not be able to go back to the imperial city?" Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li.

Chu Li nodded.

"Then the emperor clearly did this on purpose. As soon as Chu Ye became the prince, he assigned you to a remote village to deal with floods. It's not a short-term thing. It's because he was afraid that what you would do would threaten Chu Ye. ? This is really amazing." Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms, and couldn't help but raised her legs again.

Chu Li sighed slightly, stretched out his hand to pat her upturned leg, and frowned, "Are you a woman?"

Mu Yunjin didn't like to sit so dryly, and felt uncomfortable all over her body. Seeing Chu Li correcting herself twice in a row, she replied in an uncomfortable tone, "Aren't you clear about whether I am a woman?"

Last time he showed me everything, and I still asked this.

Chu Li was at a loss for words, as if he had lost to her, and let her continue to cross her legs. After watching for a long while, she gradually became pleasing to the eye, and stopped correcting her.

...

After the carriage traveled for half a day, Mu Yunjin noticed that the wind outside was gradually getting louder, and even traces of raindrops floated in through the gaps in the windows.

Mu Yunjin opened the curtains of the carriage and looked out, and found that she was in a land surrounded by mountains. Compared with the sunny weather in Linyindu in the morning, the wind was strong and there was light rain outside.

"Is this the border of Qingzhou?" Mu Yunjin put down the curtain and looked at Chu Li.

Chu Li also looked outside, "It's almost there."

Hearing that, Mu Yunjin's heart sank. Before reaching Qingzhou, there was already such a scene. I don't know what else is waiting for them in Qingzhou.

But it doesn't matter, rather than letting her eat, drink and have fun in the prince's mansion alone, she prefers two people fighting side by side here.

After walking for another two hours, the rain outside became noticeably heavier, and the speed of the carriage also slowed down. The strong wind outside often rolled up the curtains on both sides, bringing heavy rain along with it.

Mu Yunjin leaned closer to Chu Li, seeing that there were still big raindrops splashing on her, she pursed her lips, and simply ignored it, thinking that she would wait until Qingzhou settled down before changing clothes.

Chu Li reached out and covered Mu Yunjin with a blanket, and Wen Sheng whispered in her ear, "Be careful not to get sick from the cold, my prince has no time to take care of you."

Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes and looked at the blanket on her body. At this time, the raindrops outside were still spraying in one by one, but all of them soaked the blanket, and the tip of her heart was suddenly soaked in warmth. Li leaned there.

Chu Li thought she was cold, so he stretched out his hand to wrap her in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and tugged the blanket on her body.

It was stormy and rainy outside, but inside the carriage was full of warmth.

...

"Boom—"

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage suddenly staggered and tipped forward, even the entire carriage tilted slightly.

Mu Yunjin, who was snuggled up in Chu Li's arms and feeling a bit tired, suddenly woke up, only to hear Ding Xian's voice from outside, "Your Highness, Princess, this path here in Qingzhou is soaked in mud and water, and the carriage may not be able to walk... "

"Are you in Qingzhou?" Mu Yunjin was surprised. She looked outside and found that the sky had completely darkened. The rain had stopped outside, but she could clearly see the shiny puddles on the ground.

"Then let's get out of the carriage and walk over there?" Mu Yunjin said, ready to get off the carriage.

"You wait first." Chu Li stopped Mu Yunjin, pulled her back to the seat, and then got out of the carriage alone and walked down.

When he landed, he could obviously feel his feet sinking. Chu Li lowered his eyes to look at the ground, then at the long dirt road, and frowned slightly.

Ding Xian was holding the lantern, seeing Chu Li's cold face, he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Mu Yunjin also got out of the carriage at this time and stood on the edge of the carriage. Seeing that everyone was deadlocked at this moment, she smiled slightly and looked at Chu Li, "It's already dark, let's go there first and settle down early."

Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin, took out a moon-white jade pendant from his sleeve, and handed it to Mu Yunjin.

"Huh?" Mu Yunjin didn't understand what Chu Li meant.

"You help my prince guide the way." Mu Yunjin frowned upon hearing this, and was just about to scold Chu Li for putting on prince airs, but she saw Chu Li turn his back and stand beside her.

"Come up."

The short two words made Mu Yunjin a little confused, and couldn't react for a while. This, is this going to carry her?

"Hurry up." Chu Li saw that she hadn't moved for a long time, and an unhappy voice came from one side.

Mu Yunjin understood immediately, lay on Chu Li's back, reached out to take the jade pendant in his hand, and helped him guide the way down.

The light from the jade pendant fell on the ground, and Mu Yunjin realized that there was no road here, it was clearly a whole puddle of mud. At this time, the brocade boots under Chu Li's feet had sunk deeply into the mud, and even the hem of his clothes was stained. Got mud stains.

Mu Yunjin lay on Chu Li's back, hugged Chu Li's neck, and ripples spread out in her heart.

She thought, she was really about to fall...

...

The dirt road was already difficult to walk, but at this time Chu Li was still carrying Mu Yunjin on his back. It was not a long road, but it took a lot of time.

After arriving on the road where she could barely stand, Mu Yunjin looked around and could clearly see a stone tablet on one side with the word 'Qingzhou' engraved on it.

"Let me down." Mu Yunjin was afraid that Chu Li would get tired from carrying her on her back, so she prepared to get off Chu Li's back.

Chu Li's hands tightened slightly, "Don't move around."

Mu Yunjin stopped, and continued to lie obediently on Chu Li's back, playing with the jade pendant in her hand.

Ding Xian followed, "Your Highness, the food and grass are all fine, and there is no damage. This subordinate has ordered the secret guard Song Chun to supervise here. Let's go to the courtyard first."

"En." Chu Li nodded.

Ding Xian led the way ahead, while Mu Yunjin didn't dare to move while holding the jade pendant, and helped Chu Li carefully follow the road under his feet, always guarding against the mud and puddles under his feet.

After a while, Ding Xian stopped at the gate of a house. There were already people waiting at the gate of the house. When he saw Chu Li and others arriving, he immediately walked over and bowed to Chu Li.

"Young Qingzhou prefect Yang Wanshan has met His Royal Highness King Ning."
