The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

Although Shen Lu knew lightness skill, he was carrying Yin Zijin in this rugged terrain. After flying with Yin Zijin for a long time, he was exhausted and had to stop, and could only walk.

After walking for several hours, the summer sun scorched the earth, and the cicadas cried out incessantly. Shen Lu's clothes were soaked with sweat, and beads of sweat dripped into his eyes, making them sting.

Shen Lu felt unbearably hot and his strength was slowly draining away. He had already drunk almost all the water in his water pouch, his lips were chapped, and his mouth was parched. But Shen Lu persisted...

Meanwhile, Yin Zijing, who was in his arms, had woken up at some point and asked uncomfortably, "Where am I? What happened to me?"

Shen Lu happily put Yin Zijin down and helped her sit on a rock nearby: "Miss has finally woken up. You had a fever, but it's good that you're awake."

Shen Lu quickly took off the water pouch: "Miss, it's too hot, have some water!"

Seeing Shen Lu's chapped lips, she quickly pushed the drink away, saying, "No, Shen Lu, I'm not thirsty. You drink it! I'm the one who's holding you back. If it weren't for me, you would have been back safely by now."

Shen Lu wiped the sweat from his brow and said with a smile, "This servant's task is to protect the young lady. This is the easiest task this servant has been assigned in decades."

Yin Zijing was dizzy and pale, but she still smiled and said, "Shen Lu, help me walk! I'm fine now."

After saying that, she stood up. As soon as she stood up, Yin Zijing felt dizzy.

Just then, shouts came from not far away: "Sixth Miss, Sixth Miss..."

Shen Lu, Sixth Miss…

Hearing that someone was looking for him, Shen Lu set off another signal firework and shouted, "Sixth Miss is here! Sixth Miss is here!"

Shen Lu helped Yin Zijin sit down again and comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady. We'll wait here. The people looking for us have already arrived."

Upon seeing who it was, Yin Zijing was caught off guard and met a pair of unfathomable black eyes. She was involuntarily drawn in, and before she could react, she was already kneeling on the ground: "Greetings to Your Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness is very busy, and I dare not trouble you..."

Sheng Yixuan dismounted and walked to Yin Zijing. Yin Zijing's black boots with gold python patterns appeared before him. Sheng Yixuan lifted Yin Zijing's chin with his large hands, his imposing presence instantly making it hard for her to breathe. Sheng Yixuan's thin lips parted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Dealing with the disaster victims, I came here incidentally. Besides, my people, of course I'll come to rescue them..."

Sheng Yixuan glanced at Shen Lu kneeling beside him, then picked up Yin Zijing and placed her on the horse's back before mounting himself.

Upon hearing Sheng Yixuan's words, Shen Lu shivered and quickly said, "Greetings to Your Highness, Miss. You have a fever and are not feeling well..."

Sheng Yixuan snorted coldly: "I don't need you to remind me..."

With that, he gave a "Giddy up!" and the horse galloped forward. Yin Zijing was completely wrapped up in Sheng Yixuan's black cloak. Sheng Yixuan said in a low voice, "If you have a fever, don't let the wind blow on you."

Nestled in Sheng Yixuan's arms, Yin Zijing nodded sullenly. For a moment, she sensed that the Crown Prince had seemed a little different.

The horses galloped for an unknown amount of time. When Sheng Yixuan dismounted with Yin Zijin in his arms, they had already arrived at the back gate of Fu'an Temple...
