Feeling her body stiffen, he chuckled and said, "What's wrong? You were the one who put your arm around me first, and now you feel embarrassed?"

In the darkness, the eyes cannot see, so other senses are magnified a lot. They can clearly hear each other's heartbeat and shallow breathing.

Nian Susu became annoyed by what he said and tried to let go and move to the side, but he held her tightly and tightened his arms to hold her tighter.

He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear in a dangerous tone: "Don't try to escape."

She swallowed and dared not move anymore. If he used any more force, her fragile body would be crushed.

He seemed to know exactly what she was thinking.

When she relaxed and accepted the current situation, he gently stroked the top of her head, pulled away the wet hair sticking to her forehead, and whispered, "Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."

Nian Susu listened to his voice and closed her eyes. After a while, her eyelids became heavy and she slowly fell asleep...

In the middle of the night, the rain still didn't stop. Qin Junyu touched Nian Susu's forehead and found that he had a fever. His heart became heavier.

He could only wrap her tighter.

The rain stopped at daybreak.

Water kept dripping down from the eaves, forming a small puddle in front of the door. Every time a drop dripped, it made a "tick-tick" sound, which was particularly crisp and loud.

The air in the bamboo forest after the rain is fresh, the branches and leaves are green, and with the clouds and mist around, it is as beautiful as a fairyland.

Qin Jun was not in the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scenery.

He carried Nian Susu on his back and explored the bamboo forest, looking for the way he came.

After the rain, the ground was washed clean. Where was the slightest sign of anyone having stepped on it? The road behind me was left with some deep and some shallow shoe prints.

He could only move forward based on his memory and intuition.

The muddy road was wet and slippery, and he was carrying a person on his back, so he would easily slip if he was not careful. He had to hold on to bamboo joints for leverage all the way.

Despite being very careful, I still slipped.

He was originally falling backwards, but because he was afraid of crushing Nian Susu, he pulled to the right the moment he landed. The two of them fell sideways in the mud, and their bodies were covered with mud and water.

Nian Susu was delirious with fever and fell down without making a sound.

Qin Junyu gritted his teeth, carried her on his back and continued walking forward.

"Miss Nian, don't sleep...

"Miss Nian, wake up..."

"Young lady..."

He kept talking to her but could not get a response.

After wandering in the bamboo forest for three quarters of an hour, he finally found the exit, and outside was the storage room.

"Miss Nian, we are out, please hold on a little longer."

He couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Qin Junyu had heard of many examples of people who became fools because they did not receive urgent treatment for their fever. Nian Susu had a fever all night and was talking nonsense in a daze at dawn. No matter how people called him, he could not be awakened. It was hard for him not to think of the worst outcome.

Now, the sooner the treatment is given, the greater the chance of recovery. He is afraid that he is just a little bit short...

Qin Junyu almost ran out in the last few steps.

As soon as I came out of the bamboo forest, I ran into a little monk.

The little monk had a serious expression, but his eyes were evasive and panicked. He opened his arms to block Qin Junyu's way, "You... who are you! How did you get out of the bamboo forest!"

Qin Junyu guessed that the little monk in front of him was Miaojue mentioned by Nian Susu, but Nian Susu was leaning against his back with her head down, so Miaojue could not see her face clearly.

He frowned, "Now is not the time to talk about this."

He glanced back and snapped, "She has a fever. Prepare a clean room for me and don't let anyone know."

Miaojue was very dissatisfied with the tone of the order.

He looked at Qin Junyu with a vigilant look on his face, "Who the hell are you? Why should I listen to you?"

Qin Junyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. If something happened to Nian Susu, even if the entire Ganlin Temple was burned down it would not be enough to vent his anger, let alone a little monk.

He threatened coldly: "If you don't want to die, do as I say."

Miaojue didn't move, but looked at him with a stern face, with a heroic spirit that was not afraid of life or death.

Qin Junyu sneered, "You are still doing your job well."

But the next second, he said in a very cold tone: "If you don't want the entire Ganlin Temple to die because of you, do as I say."

Miaojue frowned and was indeed shaken.

Although the man in front of him was in a very miserable state, he still looked very dignified. He was obviously not a young master from an ordinary family. In addition, there was a lady staying in the temple recently, so he couldn't help but associate two things...

If this man is also a member of the royal family, wouldn’t the entire Ganlin Temple be in trouble if we offend him?

Miaojue suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to take the risk.

Seeing that Miaojue stopped asking questions, Qin Junyu thought he was sensible and said in a calmer tone, "Lead the way."

Miaojue was unwilling to accept it, but had to do it. He could only put on a stern face to show his dissatisfaction and silent protest.

At this hour, almost all the people in the temple were chanting scriptures in the front hall. Miaojue walked hurriedly in front, not caring at all whether the people behind him followed or not, as if to express his tough attitude.

Qin Junyu was originally worried that he would be seen walking on the street, but he didn't expect that he didn't see anyone along the way.

They entered the west courtyard unhindered.

Miaojue stood in front of a meditation room and said unhappily, "This place was originally for the disciples of the temple to live in, but a few years ago a group of brothers went on a journey and have not returned yet. This place has been vacant and few people usually come here."

Qin Junyu didn't completely trust him, but asked him to open the door first and make sure there was no one inside before carrying Nian Susu in and putting her on the bed.

Miaojue's jaw dropped when he saw Nian Susu lying flat on the bed with his face exposed.

"She...she..." Miaojue took two steps back, staring at Nian Susu in disbelief, and asked: How could it be her?"

But I felt a little annoyed in my heart: Why is it her again?

Miaojue doesn't like Nian Susu because she always wants to destroy the balance of his world and try to uncover some secrets that will cause many people to suffer.

But this is not her fault. On the contrary, she is a sincere and brave person, and Miaojue admires her.

Due to the contradiction, Miaojue has two attitudes towards Nian Susu.

When Nian Susu tried to explore the secrets of the bamboo forest, he was extremely angry and disgusted with her, but now she is lying sick in bed, and Miaojue can't bear it.

Qin Junyu ignored his mixed look and said in an imperative tone, "Go and boil a basin of hot water, and bring two sets of clean clothes and a new quilt."

Miaojue frowned again, secretly complaining: Is he so good at ordering people around? He bosses people around, as if everyone was born to be a slave and serve him.

Thinking of what I heard in the back mountain, any dissatisfaction in my heart immediately disappeared.

He was about to leave when, for the first time ever, this man introduced himself.

Qin Junyu raised his head and chest, and said calmly: "I am the crown prince of the current dynasty. You also know that there is a lady from the palace living in Ganlin Temple. I came here to visit her on behalf of my father. Some accidents happened during the visit, so I am in such a mess."
