When Deyin woke up, it was already light outside. The warmth beside her made her realize that Yinzhen had been holding her to sleep all night. She was afraid of waking Yinzhen up so she didn't dare to move too much and gently lifted his hand.

"Be good, don't move, sleep a little longer." The warm breath made Deyin's heart tremble, and her slightly opened eyes with a smile that made people feel a little confused. She grabbed the clothes draped over her body and closed her eyes to calm herself down.

When Deyin woke up again, she saw Yinzhen walking in with a wild rabbit he had just shot. The fire from last night had burned out. She wanted to go out for some fresh air, so she pulled Yinzhen and asked him to take her with him.

"You are weak now, so you should have a good rest. I will be back soon." Yinzhen was a little hesitant when he saw Deyin's expression that she must go, but he was still reluctant to take her out because of her health.

"My Lord, did you ever think that this place is so dangerous? If you leave me alone here, what if you are discovered by bad guys, you will be lost..." Deyin said to Yinzhen in a coquettish and tentative tone. Thinking of the words she was embarrassed to say just now, she coughed lightly and pretended to be calm.

"Ms. Deyin, am I going to lose something?"

Yinzhen stared at Deyin with his smiling eyes, revealing a meaningful look.

Deyin didn't dare to continue talking. Who knows what else Yinzhen might do in this atmosphere. Deyin picked up her dress and ran out of the cave. Yinzhen couldn't stand Deyin's soft and hard persuasion and had to take the little girl with him.

Yinzhen looked at Deyin who was walking in front of him and thought that if something really happened, he would lose his wife. The little girl was shy, but how could he not understand her thoughts.

But he was worried that he could not give Deyin the position of legitimate wife. Deyin's family was noble, and he was worried that the emperor would not agree to this marriage. The Ulanara family was powerful, and if Niuhulu's blessing was added, there would be many people who would interfere. No one wanted to see the Fourth Prince's Mansion gain momentum.

The gap between them was so deep that he should blame himself for being the prince, and he had no say in everything. Yinzhen couldn't control his heart, and he was determined to make Deyin.

"Lord Beile, come here quickly." The smoke from the burning haystack in front was floating high up, and the pungent smell was unbearable.

Deyin covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and took a closer look. It was the Mandrake and the poisonous rope cap. These two herbs were hallucinogenic drugs. The severe hallucinations caused by the fire could even last for several days. Could it be that someone deliberately led the rumors about Donglin?

There was no smoke yesterday. The fire must have caused someone to live in the forest. I turned to Yinzhen and said, "The smoke from the fire is the cause of the hallucinations. If we find the people here, we might be able to go back." "Cover it with your sleeve quickly and don't breathe it in." Deyin pulled Yinzhen away from the fire.

Yinzhen could feel the unusually high temperature of Deying Highland through his sleeves. It seemed that the fever from last night had not subsided yet. But he still looked so energetic at this moment, which made Yinzhen feel relieved.

There was a rustling sound from the haystacks in the forest, and Yinzhen protected Deyin behind him.

After a while, the sound of a child crying was heard. Deyin went forward and saw a child about four or five years old lying next to the haystack. He seemed to be frightened and kept hiding from her. He cried out, "Don't throw me in," and looked at the burning haystack with fear in his eyes.

Deyin held the little boy and comforted him gently. Yinzhen thought that Deyin was still feverish, so he reached out and took the child. The two followed the path the child pointed to and found the boy's home. Deyin looked at the village in front of him and just felt strange. There were no crops here, only endless grasslands.

"Xiaobao." The young man looked at the boy in Yinzhen's arms running towards him, tears swirling in his eyes.

Deyin and Yinzhen followed him into the wooden house and asked him about it. They found out that the child was taken away for sacrifice, but luckily he escaped. Every household here used to make a living by hunting. Later, Donglin became a royal hunting ground, and the villagers lost their livelihood. They were forced to come up with the idea of ​​using hallucinogenic herbs to pretend to be ghosts. They also believed that only by using the blood of young children as a primer could they maintain peace forever.

The two brothers depended on each other for survival. The villagers saw that Xiaobao was just the right age and tricked him away. Fortunately, the child met us and escaped.

Deyin hadn't been sitting for long when she felt dizzy and leaned back on the chair with her head covered. Yinzhen saw her abnormality and held her up.

Seeing that Deyin was feeling unwell, the young man asked, "Miss, are you injured?" She looked at the scratch on her shoulder and nodded.

"That makes sense. The blood left by external injuries will enhance the effect of the hallucinogenic drugs. It will be useless even if you cover your mouth and nose. If the lady has symptoms of fever, it must be inflammation." The young man took out the golden wound medicine and handed it to Yinzhen, urging him to apply it to Deyin quickly.

"Let me see." Yinzhen closed the door and walked towards Deyin. This awkward part made her lower her head a little embarrassed when Yinzhen applied medicine on her. But now she had no other choice except him. The dizziness caused by this movement made her stomach turn upside down.

Yinzhen warmed his hands before touching her, carefully unbuttoning her clothes and taking off the coat covering the wound. The bloody cut on her snow-white skin startled Yinzhen, wondering how much pain she was in.

The moment his fingers touched me, I couldn't help but tremble. His fingers gently applied the medicine to the wound.

The moment the medicine soaked in, the stinging pain came unexpectedly. "Hiss," Deyin couldn't help but scream.

"Be patient, it will be fine soon." Yinzhen gently spread the medicine and held Deyin's hand tightly, saying with heartache. He couldn't bear to look at the girl. Her pale face and hair wet with sweat were like scratches left by a knife in his heart.

After falling into a coma, she could only vaguely feel Yinzhen putting her on the bed, and the coldness on her forehead was the feeling of Yinzhen wetting his handkerchief over and over again to cool her down.

Deyin closed her eyes and felt Yinzhen's preference, but she couldn't resist the dizziness in her head and fell asleep again.

Yinzhen felt Deyin's temperature and found it had dropped, so he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
