The previous slide left them less than 20 meters away from the bottom of the cliff. In addition, there was a deep and fast river below. Fortunately, they were not injured.
The two suddenly fell into the water and were swept down by the current. Sheng Nuan was almost unconscious. Yingxue held her with one hand to ensure that her head was above the water, and paddled hard with the other hand to the shore.
The river water in spring was freezing cold, and soon Yingxue's complexion turned blue and her movements became stiffer and stiffer.
But when he saw the person next to him who was also pale and blue, he seemed to gain strength immediately.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, he tried his best to push Ivy ashore and climbed up himself.
But before he could take a breath, he saw the bruises and snake bite marks on the little queen's arms.
No wonder she suddenly lost her strength.
Without thinking much, Yingxue pulled out the dagger from the back of her boot, tremblingly and carefully opened her arm, then lowered her head and began to suck out the blood one by one.
Fortunately, the cold water in the river made her blood flow more slowly. It didn't take long for the blood sucked out to turn from black to bright red.
But he knew that there must still be toxins left.
He was clearly exhausted just now, but at this moment, he seemed to have endless strength, picked up the little queen and walked forward.
After finding a secluded and dry cave, Yingxue put the person down, then turned around and went out to look for edelweiss flowers.
Edelweiss is a herb unique to the Kingdom of Leon and can detoxify most snake venom.
Because it was a bright red flame-like color, Yingxue quickly found a few edelweiss flowers. He quickly went back to the cave, chewed the edelweiss flowers in his mouth, and then applied them to the little queen's wounds.
It was only then that he realized that his whole body was freezing cold.
The wet clothes seemed to freeze when blown by the wind.
He quickly took off his coat, leaving only his trousers, spread the clothes on a stone to dry, took out the iron box in his pocket, and poured out all the matches. After a long while, he finally found the only one that could be used.
After a while, a fire was lit in the cave.
The guards must have surrounded the assassins. He was not worried about attracting the assassins now, as the flames and smoke would make them easier to detect.
After lighting the fire, Yingxue paused, pursed her lips... and with slightly trembling fingers, she untied the little queen's riding clothes.
Her clothes are also soaked. She will definitely get sick if she wears them like this...
It was very difficult to take off several pieces of clothing. Yingxue did not dare to take off all her clothes, leaving only the off-white shirt and trousers at the bottom.
Afraid that she would catch cold while lying on the ground, Yingxue carefully placed her on his lap, next to a burning fire.
But soon, he noticed that the person in his arms started to have a fever... This was caused by snake venom.
Although the snake venom was sucked out and antidote was applied, there must still be residue in her body.
Sheng Nuan was in a daze. She only felt some pain in her arm, her head hurt, and her forehead was hot. She raised her hand unconsciously, and then touched something slightly cool.
Yingxue's body suddenly froze.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head slowly... At this moment, the little queen in her arms moved again.
Yingxue's back was stiff and she didn't dare to move.
He was not a gentleman to begin with, and the reason why he had not touched her until now was just because he was worried about her body.
Only God knows he is going crazy now!
Sheng Nuan was so dizzy with fever due to the snake venom that she suddenly thought she was participating in a hunt.
Then she saw Yingxue shoot an arrow at Snow.
Snow was unprepared and fell off the horse. Blood gushed out from his mouth and nose. He struggled and begged her for help: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save me..."
Sheng Nuan's heart beat violently: "Snow."
"Snow..."
The person in her arms suddenly murmured, and for a moment, Yingxue's eyes suddenly froze.
Snow?
Even though she was unconscious, she was still thinking about Snow?
There was a dim light in the young man's eyes. He pinched the chin of the person in his arms and said softly: "Ivy."
Sheng Nuan's jaw hurt a little, so she reluctantly opened her eyes, and saw the young man with dim eyes.
He asked her softly: "Is Snow that good?"
Sheng Nuan was still immersed in the terrible dream just now, and subconsciously she only remembered that Yingxue wanted to kill Snow...because of her.
She struggled and stretched out her arms to hug the boy in front of her: "Yingxue..."
Sheng Nuan was still unconscious and didn't know what to say, but subconsciously wanted to comfort the young man.
She leaned close to him obediently.
Yingxue put her arm around her, lowered her head and said softly: "Ivy."
Ivy?
It's her name in this world... Sheng Nuan raised her head, resting her chin on Yingxue's chest, her eyes a little confused.
Seeing her soft and cute look that she had never seen before, Yingxue's Adam's apple moved slightly, and she couldn't help but reach out and slide her fingertips across her cheek.
He asked in a low voice: "Snow or me, who do you choose?"
The young man's tone was soft, but it concealed overwhelming coldness. Sheng Nuan reached out to cover his eyes, but her vision was blurred and she touched his lips.
She murmured and said: "Choose you, only you, don't..."
Don't go crazy...
Looking at the person leaning softly in his arms, Yingxue's chest rose and fell violently, and she closed her eyes... The next moment, she suddenly lowered her head and kissed her.
Feeling the slightly cool lips, Sheng Nuan began to respond in a daze.
Feeling her response, Yingxue went completely crazy.
He gasped, holding the person in his arms and kissing her deeply.
The temperature in the cave slowly rises, and the firelight dances...
When Sheng Nuan finally woke up, she had already returned to her dormitory.
Slowly opening her eyes, she felt one of her hands being held tightly. Turning her head, she saw Yingxue lying next to her bed, sleeping.
Both of his hands were wrapped with gauze. Sheng Nuan remembered that when she lost her strength and fell, the last thing she saw was the young man letting go of his hands and rushing toward her regardless of the risk.
He didn't even hesitate...
The young man lay there, his dark eyelashes casting a shadow on his eyelids.
Sensing something, Yingxue's eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Sheng Nuan wake up, his eyes suddenly lit up and he held her hand tightly: "Ivy, you're awake, how do you feel?"
His title made Sheng Nuan tremble.
She had some vague memories of what happened in the cave, and she knew how crazy the boy was to please her and said countless words full of obsession in her ears.
In his opinion, the relationship between them is no longer the same.
But Sheng Nuan knew that there were still many things to face later...
She looked at Yingxue indifferently and reminded her coldly: "Your Highness, you called me wrong."
Yingxue stiffened slightly, pursed her lips, rubbed the back of her hand fawningly with her fingers, and whispered: "But Ivy, we have..."
"We have nothing."
Sheng Nuan looked at him quietly: "Your Highness, I hope you will abide by your duty as a minister!"
The blood on the young man's face faded, he was silent for a moment, and looked at her quietly: "Is there nothing?"
Sheng Nuan raised her voice and spoke: "Sophie, send His Highness Yingxue out."
Sophie opened the door and came in, lowering her head: "Your Highness, please."
Yingxue looked at her, paused, then turned around and walked out without saying a word.
Sheng Nuan reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew that Yingxue's silence did not mean that he was giving in... She knew that her betrayal this time might have angered him...
