The rain is pattering on the ground, falling on the leaves, and the tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tack sound is heard in the mountains and forests.
In the forest, a young man was carrying another man on his back, struggling to move.
"Crown Prince, put me down, don't waste your energy on me..."
Cui Rong Seeing that the ground was muddy, Crown Prince's body was thin, and he had to carry him on his back, he couldn't help but speak.
"You... broke your leg trying to save the orphan,"
Crown Prince gritted his teeth and moved forward step by step.
Bian replied, "Besides, you are still alone Little Uncle. I cannot ignore you due to emotions or reason."
Cui Rong lowered his eyelashes slightly when he heard this and fell into silence.
He rescued Crown Prince... just to remove Cui Family from this assassination.
What's more, people from other factions were involved in this assassination.
Obviously, they wanted to pin this assassination entirely on the Cui Family.
How could he let the other party succeed?
He didn't really want to save him.
He stared at Crown Prince's profile, his dark eyes turning slightly.
Crown Prince... It is really as good as the rumors.
Too kind.
This will be his most fatal flaw.
"Bang Dong--"
Suddenly, Crown Prince slipped, and Cui Rong fell to the ground.
"Little Uncle, how are you?" Crown Prince quickly stood up and asked.
Cui Rong stood up quietly and replied, "... it's okay."
Perhaps, he shouldn't pretend to have broken his leg in order to gain the trust of little Crown Prince.
This time, even if you were not injured, you would be injured if you fell.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Crown Prince's expression was gloomy, and the rain was falling from his white face. He couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain. When he looked over, he quickly wiped it clean.
As if he was mocking himself or comforting himself, he whispered, "I am so stupid... I can't do anything well, I make Little Uncle laugh..."
Cui Rong couldn't explain how he felt.
He has been staying at the Hanlin Academy and has only met Crown Prince a few times.
People are more familiar with Crown Prince's character.
Crown Prince Weakness, incompetence, waste, and lack of opinion are the words he hears most often.
Over time, he also believed it to be true.
He has no lofty ambitions.
Crown Prince has nothing to do with him.
If his father hadn't asked him to support Xuan'er, he would not have participated in any party struggle. He just wanted to quietly be Compiler in the Hanlin Academy An An all his life.
Now it seems that Crown Prince is only a nineteen-year-old kid after all, but he has to shoulder a heavy responsibility far beyond his age.
He is Crown Prince.
You can't be like Xuan'er, who directly expresses any dissatisfaction he or she has.
In his opinion, Crown Prince he... is not weak.
He's just a little reserved.
So strong that it's not obvious.
"Your Highness... has done a great job,"
He comforted, "It's true that this place is not easy to get around. Changing ministers... may not necessarily lead to better results,"
Crown Prince was slightly startled.
Obviously he didn't expect Cui Rong to praise him so much.
The face is slightly red.
His eyes averted for a moment, feeling a little helpless.
"Crown Prince... The ground is cold, how about you get up first?"
Cui Rong looked at his inexplicable daze, an imperceptible smile quickly flashed in his eyes, and reminded him loudly,
Crown Prince only came to his senses after hearing this, feeling embarrassed for a while.
"I'm sorry, I was negligent," said Sansan.
He moved to Cui Rong and squatted down, just about to carry him on his back,
Then he saw Cui Rong stopping him and saying, "Crown Prince... Just support me, I, you can walk by yourself..."
Crown Prince was slightly startled when he heard this.
His eyes dimmed, "...Little Uncle is looking down on Lonely and stupidly?"
Cui Rong's body is slightly stiff.
His eyes averted for a moment.
He replied, "Your Highness is not stupid, so don't belittle yourself.
I just saw that it was raining and the road was difficult to walk, so it would be safer to walk with help."
Crown Prince A meal.
After thinking about it, I think it makes sense.
After all, we don't know when the reinforcements will come, and they can't afford to be injured again.
He replied, "Forget it, just do as Little Uncle says."
After saying that, he helped Cui Rong stand up slowly and limped forward with support.
half an hour later
Crown Prince saw a cave ahead and his eyes lit up.
Looking at Cui Rong, his tone was filled with joy, "Little Uncle, how about we go over there to take shelter from the rain first?"
Cui Rong was shaken by his smile and replied in a daze, "Well..."
Crown Prince helped Cui Rong sit aside,
So he went around the cave and found some dry firewood, but couldn't find any fire sticks on him.
He turned to look at Cui Rong and asked, "Little Uncle, do you have any fire marks on your body? I lost it."
Cui Rong silently replied, "None," in the past he didn't have to prepare for these things by himself.
What's more, he doesn't go out often.
Just...
Judging from Crown Prince's familiar appearance, it seems that he is no stranger to camping.
He raised his eyes to look at Crown Prince and asked curiously, "Does Crown Prince always have these things on him?"
"Well, I used to go night hunting with Little Imperial Uncle,"
When Xiao Yu was mentioned, Crown Prince's eyes shone with a strange light.
Cui Rong saw this and lowered his eyes slightly.
He whispered, "Crown Prince... and Prince Yu have a very good relationship."
Crown Prince didn't deny it and responded generously, "Yeah."
He grew up with Little Imperial Uncle.
Can it be bad?
What's more, Little Imperial Uncle is still him...
Thinking of this, Crown Prince's eyes suddenly darkened.
Suddenly, he suppressed his strange emotions, pulled out the Dagger tied to the side of his shoe, whittled a Wooden Club, and prepared to drill wood to make fire.
It was already early winter, their clothes were still wet, and without a fire, they would definitely catch a cold soon.
Although he has never drilled it, he saw that Little Imperial Uncle has drilled it.
Not difficult.
Thinking about it, he started to get up.
a moment later
"Ahem..."
Crown Prince choked on the smoke.
Suddenly, the flame that had just started went out again.
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
When I turned around and saw someone's faint smile, I immediately became even angrier.
Looking at him, he said in a bad tone, "Little Uncle What are you laughing at?"
Cui Rong's figure paused slightly.
He replied calmly, "Crown Prince saw it wrong, I was just choked by the smoke."
Looking at his gray face, I unconsciously took out the handkerchief from my arms and wiped him carefully.
After reacting, his eyes flashed slightly.
He looked away and said, "Sorry... I overstepped my bounds."
Crown Prince suddenly turned his head, his ears slightly red.
He lowered his head and said, "... It doesn't matter."
"Come, my lord,"
Cui Rong took the drill wood from his hand.
Crown Prince paused and asked casually, "Can you?"
Cui Rong: "I don't know how, but after watching Crown Prince for so long, I think I can try it."
"I have been trying for so long without success..."
Crown Prince said dullly.
"I always have good luck," Cui Rong replied casually.
Crown Prince:"..."
Just as he was about to think about what this had to do with luck, he saw that the spark he had just extinguished was rekindled.
Crown Prince had a flash of disbelief and surprise in his eyes.
Watch the rising flames.
He lowered his head and said to him, "Little Uncle, you are really... very lucky!"
"I have already said..."
Cui Rong turned his head, and his lips inadvertently touched the side of his face.
The two of them were suddenly stunned.
After reacting, they all dispersed and looked away uncomfortably.
"I'm sorry... I offend Your Highness," Cui Rong said first.
He lowered his eyes and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
The ears are reddish.
Crown Prince lowered his head.
He suddenly replied, "No, it doesn't matter,"
The red flames burned with crackling sounds, making the people on both sides turn red.
