"Your Majesty, your cooking skills are simply amazing!"

Many soldiers gathered in the small kitchen. Some had rolled up their sleeves to help, while others just stared at the fish soup in the pot with their saliva drooling.

"Don't look at it! That's the fish soup that the prince made for the princess! Go and kill the remaining fish!" Chuan Gu kicked the soldier.

Bian Jingsheng turned a deaf ear to the noise around him. He just focused on the fish soup in the pot and then sprinkled some seasoning on it.

"Many things here are very rare. We will use as much as we can and then go out to look for more and come back to compensate Miss Xiaoxue!" Bian Jingsheng ordered the soldiers.

They could have just left, but they couldn't bear to use Xiaoxue's firewood or seasonings. After all, it was not easy for a girl to survive in this snowy and icy place, and they naturally couldn't take a single cent from others.

The soldiers naturally understood this principle, and some of them had already put on their cloaks and gone out to find some firewood.

"What a nice smell!" Fu Guang, Zhu Qing'an and the little girl were sitting around the brazier, warming themselves by the fire, when they suddenly smelled the fragrance of fish.

“Knock, knock, knock!” Along with the knock on the door, Bian Jingsheng’s voice came, “Qing’an, I made some fish soup. You three girls, try it and warm yourself up!”

It was also at this time that Xiaoxue hurriedly wrapped herself with a hat and clothes. Although she trusted Zhu Qing'an and was willing to show her true appearance in front of Zhu Qing'an, she did not want others to see her difference.

Fu Guang opened the door and a cold wind instantly rushed into the room.

"Thank you!" Zhu Qing'an took it and looked at the full pot of fish soup. He was very surprised. He didn't expect that Bian Jingsheng could even make fish soup.

Bian Jingsheng didn't say much, just stood at the door to resist the cold wind, and then said, "Drink it while it's hot. If you like it, I'll make it for you next time!"

After saying that, Bian Jingsheng quickly closed the door and the footsteps faded away.

"I never thought that King Zhongyi has such great cooking skills!" Fu Guang sighed as he helped Xiaoxue get the dishes and chopsticks.

After all, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Nowadays, those young masters of wealthy families in Ancheng don’t even know how to cook, let alone recognize the dishes. But Bian Jingsheng has excellent cooking skills, which is really rare.

Zhu Qingan drank a mouthful of the fish soup and found it so delicious that it not only warmed his stomach but also his heart.

In particular, Zhu Qing'an knew that this was the fish soup that Bian Jingsheng specially made for her, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Bian Jingsheng, who was already extremely outstanding, seemed to have another advantage in Zhu Qingan's mind.

She was even looking forward to what Bian Jingsheng said about making fish soup for her again in the future.

"Sister Qing'an..." Xiaoxue drank the fish soup and looked up at Zhu Qing'an. Because Zhu Qing'an explained again and again, Xiaoxue changed her name to Sister Qing'an.

"Hmm?" Zhu Qing'an took another sip of the fish soup and looked up at Xiaoxue.

"You like that person so much!" Xiaoxue said bluntly.

This made Zhu Qingan blush, and she quickly denied it, "Don't talk nonsense, little kid. I don't like him!"

But Xiaoxue didn't understand the ways of the world and nodded firmly, "No, you just like it! I can see it clearly in your eyes!"

If someone else had said this, Zhu Qing'an could still deal with it, but since Xiaoxue said this, she had to face her own heart.

Xiaoxue is isolated from the crowd, so although she is naive, she actually has a sharper perception than others.

Could it be that she really likes Bian Jingsheng?

Zhu Qingan couldn't help but think about it carefully, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to discover that her feelings towards Bian Jingsheng were different.

She would ride on the same horse with Bian Jingsheng, let Bian Jingsheng carry her on his back, and even tolerate Bian Jingsheng's occasional touch. If she didn't like him, would she really do this?

No, she wouldn't. She was a very measured person. Even though Bian Jingsheng was powerful and influential, and even though she knew what he was thinking, if it were someone else, she would not only stay away from him, but would even feel disgusted.

"That person likes you too!" Xiaoxue took a big sip of the fish soup, squinted her eyes in satisfaction, and added another sentence.

Xiaoxue usually cooks for herself, but the food she makes is not tasty at all. This is the most satisfying meal she has had since her mother left.

"Really! I won't lie to Sister Qing'an! My mother said that although I am stupid, I am particularly good at judging people!" Xiaoxue explained eagerly, fearing that Zhu Qing'an would not believe her.

"I think what Miss Xiaoxue said is right. Everyone can see how the prince feels about the princess. But you, princess, should also think carefully about your own feelings!" Fu Guang also smiled and said.

Compared to Shen Shixin in the past, Fu Guang was more willing to see her princess and the prince get married. Along the way, Fu Guang witnessed with her own eyes the doting that the loyal and righteous prince showed to her princess, and even she couldn't help but feel moved.

"Forget it, let's talk about it after we find the herbs. Now is not the time to talk about this!" Zhu Qing'an stopped talking about this.

Whether she really likes Bian Jingsheng or not is not the most important thing at this moment. What she wants most now is that her aunt can be detoxified.

"Xiaoxue, do you know where there is a medicinal herb called Kongling Xiancao on Binghan Island?" Zhu Qing'an suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked Xiaoxue urgently.

Compared to them who were unfamiliar with the place, Xiaoxue was more familiar with it and more likely to know the whereabouts of the Kongling Immortal Grass.

Xiaoxue was still drinking fish soup. She had already drunk three bowls of fish soup. It was obvious that this child didn't have much good food to eat on a daily basis.

"I've never heard of it! Are you here looking for this thing?" Xiaoxue asked, her light blue eyes full of curiosity.

"Yes, I really need the ethereal fairy grass!" Zhu Qing'an admitted.

"Then I'll accompany you tomorrow. I'm very familiar with the roads here!" Xiaoxue said happily. She was also very happy that she could help Zhu Qing'an.

"Thank you then!" Zhu Qing'an was also a little surprised. After all, being able to meet Xiaoxue seemed to be a help from God.

Everyone stayed overnight at Xiaoxue's house and had a hearty meal, and their strength quickly recovered.

Only Zhu Qing'an seemed to have caught a cold, with a blocked nose and even a dizzy head.

"Don't say that!" Zhu Qing'an tried hard to put on his clothes and glanced at Fu Guang.

Fu Guang lowered her head. She followed the princess all the way. The princess seemed fine, but only Fu Guang knew that something was wrong with her. The princess seemed extremely sleepy and listless, even her appetite had decreased significantly.

But Fu Guang also knew that what the princess cared about most now was medicinal herbs. Only as long as she could find the medicinal herbs could the princess return to Ancheng to recuperate with peace of mind.

"Continue heading south!" Zhu Qing'an walked out of the house and saw that everyone had already prepared everything.

The cold air outside made Zhu Qing'an shiver uncontrollably. Bian Jingsheng quickly pulled Zhu Qing'an's cloak into place. Because Zhu Qing'an was wearing many clothes and a thick scarf, even Bian Jingsheng didn't notice anything unusual about Zhu Qing'an.

"Xiaoxue will lead the way for us!" Zhu Qing'an said to everyone.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Xiaoxue!" Bian Jingsheng bowed, but unfortunately Xiaoxue didn't understand these etiquettes at all and just waved her hand.

Before leaving, everyone not only locked the door, but also cleaned the house, bought a lot of fish for Xiaoxue and stored them, and even picked up a lot of firewood and piled it aside.

Bian Jingsheng carried Zhu Qingan on his back, and everyone started walking slowly again.

Compared to the embarrassment of everyone else, Xiaoxue seemed particularly skilled. Every step she took in the snow was very fast. If she hadn't been waiting for everyone, she would have walked far away long ago.

"Hurry up!" Xiaoxue waved to everyone not far away.

"This little girl has short arms and legs, how can she run like this!" Kawatani couldn't help but complain, trying hard to dig his feet out of the snow.

"Miss Xiaoxue grew up on the Ice Island and has adapted to this place long ago. Look at her clothes, which are thinner than ours. If it were us, we would have frozen to death long ago!" Fu Guang said as he looked at Xiaoxue jumping in front of him.

Perhaps there have never been so many people on this Ice Island before, and now Xiaoxue is happy to see everyone. She likes crowds and lively atmosphere, and doesn't like being alone all day without anyone to talk to. It would be so boring to be alone.

"Look at Miss Xiaoxue, she is so innocent. It's a good thing she met us. If she met some bad guys, it would be bad for her to be alone!" An older soldier looked at Xiaoxue with pity.

This statement also made everyone silent.

Xiaoxue is a girl. Not to mention that there are many people coming, even if there is a strong man coming from this Ice Island, Xiaoxue is no match for him.

Although Binghan Island is isolated from the world, the fact that they were able to find it means that outsiders can also come in.

"Let's find the herbs first!" Bian Jingsheng spoke, interrupting the heaviness in everyone's hearts. Everyone quickly regained their senses, knowing that this was not the time to think about these things.

Zhu Qing'an's ears were still echoing with everyone's words. He had some ideas in his mind, but he didn't know whether Xiaoxue was willing to do it.

Just as Zhu Qing'an was considering this, Bian Jingsheng, who was carrying her on his back, spoke with a cold voice, "When we find the herbs, if you like them, you can bring them back to Ancheng!"

In a word, Zhu Qingan's thoughts are self-evident.

At this moment, she was secretly delighted because Bian Jingsheng always understood her so well and even supported her. Moreover, although Bian Jingsheng was a man, he also had a delicate heart.

"That depends on Xiaoxue's willingness!" Zhu Qing'an said softly.

Her voice was soft and filled with a hint of worry, and Bian Jingsheng felt his body warm up. Perhaps Zhu Qingan herself hadn't noticed, but the tone she used when speaking to him was becoming increasingly delicate.

Bian Jingsheng really enjoys this pampering.

"Miss Xiaoxue likes you very much. As long as you ask her, she will go with you! Although this is where Miss Xiaoxue grew up, she lives here alone. Not only is it lonely, but it is also full of danger!" Bian Jingsheng explained.

These words really hit the nail on the head for Zhu Qingan, and were also what Zhu Qingan was most concerned about.

"Okay, I'll tell Xiaoxue when we find the ethereal fairy grass!" After Zhu Qing'an said this, he knocked his head on Bian Jingsheng's shoulder.

This action made Bian Jingsheng pause.

Although the two of them were quite close these days, Zhu Qing'an actually knew his limits and had never approached him so actively.

At this moment, her head was resting on his shoulder, and her breath was slightly hot.

Bian Jingsheng raised the corner of his mouth and strode forward. At this moment, Bian Jingsheng and Zhu Qingan seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.

A secret and secretly joyful consensus.

"Turn left!" Zhu Qing'an suddenly spoke when everyone continued walking.

The blood in his body was telling Zhu Qing'an how to move, and everyone had no doubts about Zhu Qing'an's words, even though what the medical book said had not been verified.

Bian Jingsheng carried Zhu Qingan on his back and walked to the left. Xiaoxue looked at Zhu Qingan worriedly, "It's very dangerous over there. Mother said we can't go there!"

Zhu Qing'an had no doubt about Xiaoxue's words. Since Xiaoxue's mother said it was dangerous over there, it must be dangerous, but she couldn't give up.

"I have something very important to find. Xiaoxue, be good and go back and wait for us!" Zhu Qing'an said softly.

Xiaoxue's ability to lead the way has already helped them achieve twice the result with half the effort, so naturally they don't want her to take risks with them.

Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment, but then walked straight ahead. "I want to be with you! With me here, you can walk safely!"

Everyone continued walking with Xiaoxue. Suddenly, Zhu Qing'an's face flushed and even his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

"Here! It's right here!" Zhu Qing'an was a little excited. She could truly feel that the ethereal fairy grass was here, not far away.

"Search!" With Bian Jingsheng's order, everyone quickly began to disperse and prepare to search.

Everyone had seen the ethereal fairy grass depicted in medical books, so everyone searched very carefully, fearing that they would miss it.

Zhu Qing'an got down from Bian Jingsheng's back and sensed carefully, but she could only sense that the ethereal fairy grass was there, but she couldn't clearly know where it was exactly.

Everyone started searching for the border issue. They searched for a long time but had no clue. Even so, they did not lose heart.

"It snowed a few days ago, maybe the thing you are looking for is buried in the snow!" Xiaoxue shouted to everyone.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately felt that it made sense. The soldiers all put on gloves and started to dig out the snow, while Zhu Qing'an looked at everyone nervously.

At this moment, Bian Jingsheng suddenly dug away a handful of snow and saw an ordinary, translucent grass in front of him. He was so stunned that he couldn't even move.

Medical books record that one thing that makes the Kongling Xiancao different from ordinary herbs is that the Kongling Xiancao is translucent, and what is in front of us is definitely the Kongling Xiancao.

"Found it!" Bian Jingsheng shouted, and everyone's eyes quickly turned to Bian Jingsheng.

Zhu Qing'an looked over and saw Bian Jingsheng bend down carefully, then pull out the ethereal fairy grass with the roots and soil with both hands, and hold it high above his head.

At that moment, Zhu Qing'an was so excited that she wanted to cry.

They finally found the ethereal herb! Great!

However, something unexpected happened in an instant. Before Zhu Qing'an's excitement subsided, she suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet loosen. Before she could react, the snow on the ground suddenly collapsed, and she lost weight.

"Qing'an!" With Bian Jingsheng's shout, Zhu Qing'an suddenly fell down.
