The early morning sun shines softly on the earth through sparse clouds.

The officials delivered the white flour buns on time as usual.

These steamed buns are a rare delicacy for the exiles.

Gu Yuchen's maids Xiu'er and Zhu'er, who were left behind to take care of Lin Qingya, were also waiting there early.

Xiu'er looked a little pale because of yesterday's injury, while Zhu'er looked relaxed.

Zhu'er used the officer's body to block the arrows from the man in black yesterday and saved her life.

This morning, Zhu'er used the change given by Lin Qingya to exchange for breakfast for everyone.

The third prince and his followers set up a pot and put on the firewood that was not used up last night, preparing to make some porridge. They also bought some steamed buns from the bailiff.

Originally, the escort did not want the Third Prince's money, but the Third Prince refused, and he bought the steamed buns at the same price as Gu Yuchen and the others.

When Liu Yang reported to Liu Shun that the Third Prince spent one tael of silver on five steamed buns, Liu Shun was overwhelmed and hurriedly took the silver to the Third Prince.

But the third prince refused to accept anything, and Liu Shun had no choice but to say that from now on, each steamed bun would cost ten cents.

Although it is much higher than the market price, it is at least much cheaper than before.

Yan Xiaoyan also ate with the Third Prince. She just ate and drank for free. The Third Prince didn't know why he was now in charge of Yan Xiaoyan's food and drink.

Yan Xiaoyan didn't care about that. She would be happy as long as she could go with Gu Yuchen and the others.

Her maid pulled her sleeve and said, "Miss, the third prince is not bad either. You can consider him."

Yan Xiaoyan waved her hands quickly. What a joke, Third Prince, she didn't want to marry into the royal family. She wanted to live a few more years.

The palace is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. It is not a suitable place for her.

Soon the porridge for the third prince was ready. Dried meat, dried vegetables and appropriate amount of salt were added to the porridge.

The taste was very good. The third prince wanted to send some to Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya, but he couldn't find anyone after looking around.

He simply gave up looking for it and told people to finish the porridge quickly so that he could clean up quickly.

Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen found a secluded place to sit down, and she exchanged some food from the space preferred cat.

Each person received a bowl of sea cucumber porridge and some exquisite side dishes.

Although life in exile was hard, Lin Qingya always tried to make sure everyone ate as well as possible.

Gu Yuchen looked at the sea cucumber porridge and side dishes in front of him, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

He couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get all this food from? Can your storage bag hold so much?"

Lin Qingya was slightly stunned, feeling a little embarrassed. She smiled and explained:

"This is a long story. I'll tell you slowly when I have the chance. Let's eat now. If the Third Prince sees this, there might be a lot of trouble."

Gu Yuchen didn't dwell on this issue. He picked up the steamed bun and drank the sea cucumber porridge.

Although the food is light, it tastes very delicious.

After breakfast, they packed their bags and set out on the road of exile again.

Another fifty miles or so is Anyu County.

Liu Shun urged everyone to speed up: "Everyone hurry up, we can reach Anyu County to rest tonight."

No one wanted to sleep in the wild, so they quickened their pace and moved through the mountains and forests with difficulty.

However, just when they were almost at noon, a group of men in black suddenly fell from the sky.

The swords in their hands emitted a dark green light, obviously smeared with poison.

The leader shouted, "Kill King Chen and you will be rewarded handsomely when you return!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen started a fierce battle with the men in black.

Both of them are good at martial arts, but the black-clothed man's martial arts moves are extremely brutal, and every strike of his sword is aimed directly at the vital points.

The third prince also joined in the fight. These men in black had clear goals and had no intention of causing trouble for Yan Xiaoyan.

Yan Xiaoyan muttered in her heart, "Do you all look down on me so much?" Although these men in black did not cause trouble for Yan Xiaoyan.

But her own legs were shaking, and she thought to herself that she was really screwed, how could she be so humiliated.

The men in black seemed endless, and as soon as one group fell, another group took their place.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya gradually felt exhausted.

The third prince was also held back and could not come to support Gu Yuchen and the others.

The third prince was extremely anxious and afraid that Lin Qingya would be injured. He saw that Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya were already exhausted.

It seemed that the number of the men in black was endless, and the rest of the palace’s guards and officials were too busy to take care of themselves.

Just as Lin Qingya was trying her best to fight a man in black,

Before she knew it, another man in black swung his sword at her.

Lin Qingya was in the middle of a fierce battle with the opponent and was unable to distract herself from blocking the knife.

At this moment, Gu Yuchen's sword appeared out of nowhere and blocked the fatal blow.

However, Gu Yuchen was stabbed in the back. Soon Gu Yuchen fell into a coma, and before he fell into a coma, Lin Qingya hugged him.

Gu Yuchen fell on Lin Qingya and said to her, "I'm relieved that you're okay. Take care of yourself." After that, he closed his eyes.

Lin Qingya's heart tightened. She didn't care about many things. There was only one thought in her mind:

Gu Yuchen can't die! At this moment, she realized that she had developed deep feelings for Gu Yuchen without knowing when.

Maybe it started with this knife, or maybe my heart was drawn to him the first time we met.

At the same time, the palace's secret guards also arrived at the scene in time and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.

The Third Prince, regardless of his own safety, ran to Gu Yuchen and anxiously asked the secret guards to find Situ Hao.

While shouting to Gu Yuchen, "Get up, there's no point in pretending to be dead." Everyone felt uncomfortable when they saw the Third Prince's crazy look.

Seeing that the plan was successful, the leader of the men in black signaled the others to evacuate.

Soon, the men in black stopped pestering and quickly left the scene. In a moment, peace returned to the place.

It turned out that the secret guards were also assassinated, but the situation was much better than Gu Yuchen's. At least the number of men in black was not as large as here.

Lin Qingya quickly took out a medical kit from her bag, actually from the space, and carefully bandaged Gu Yuchen's wound.

At this moment, Situ Hao also hurried over. With a frown on his face, he took Gu Yuchen's pulse.

However, his expression became more and more solemn because Gu Yuchen's pulse was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

Situ Hao felt a little flustered, but he quickly adjusted his mood and tried his best to stay calm.

He knew very well that Gu Yuchen was poisoned. However, even with his superb medical skills, it was difficult for him to determine what kind of poison it was at this moment.

The anxiety in his heart surged like a tide, but on the surface he remained calm and determined, looking for clues to rescue Gu Yuchen.
