Chapter 101: Overnight on a Deserted Island

Luo Lingyue looked at Xiao Jinghan, who was soaking wet, frowned, and said with a hint of urgency: "Hurry up and take off your clothes and dry them, otherwise you will get sick! I'll go around and see if there is anything eatable." After that, she turned and left.

Not long after, Luo Lingyue returned to the place with a smile on her face and high spirits, holding several large and delicious fish in her hands. She waved the fish in her hand to Xiao Jinghan and said, "We have grilled fish to eat!"

Luo Lingyue's movements were skillful and neat. She first took out an extremely sharp dagger and cut the fish quickly and accurately. In the blink of an eye, she cleaned up the fish. Then, she used her deft hands to thread the fish one by one onto the wooden sticks that had been prepared long ago, and then placed them firmly on the blazing flames and began to roast them carefully.

As time went by, the grilled fish gradually turned golden, the skin became crispy and delicious, and the mouth-watering aroma began to spread. The wonderful smell seemed to have magic, which aroused people's appetite and made them eager to taste this delicious food.

Xiao Jinghan stared at Luo Lingyue who was concentrating on grilling fish, and thought to himself: This woman in front of me is very different from the image in the legend! Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but her ability to survive in the wild is also something that ordinary people cannot possess. Could it be that all the rumors about her are false? Thinking of this, Xiao Jinghan couldn't help but develop a strong interest in Luo Lingyue...

Outside the imperial study, the commander of the Imperial Guard Ma Wei and the Jinwu Guard General Chang Chou came hurriedly with panicked looks on their faces.

They said solemnly to Eunuch Gao who was standing at the door: "Eunuch Gao, something terrible has happened! Prince Xiao has been attacked and is in a critical condition. It is hard to predict whether he will live or die! We must see His Majesty immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Gao's face changed drastically, and a thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly asked, "Hasn't Prince Xiao always been protected by guards and secret guards? How could he suddenly be attacked, and even to the point where his life or death is unknown?"

Chang Chou lowered his voice slightly and replied nervously: "Not only that, the Princess Luo was also attacked along with Prince Xiao!" Upon hearing this news, Eunuch Gao's legs softened and he almost fell to the ground. He couldn't help thinking to himself: This is a big trouble! What should I do?

Eunuch Gao led the two into the imperial study in a panic, then hurried to the desk of Emperor Wen, bowed and reported in a hurry: "Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! Prince Xiao and Princess Luo have been assassinated outside!"

When Emperor Wen heard this, his face instantly became extremely gloomy. He stood up suddenly and stared at the two people in front of him. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He turned to Chang Chou and ordered: "General Chang! The situation is urgent. You must quickly take people to find the whereabouts of Prince Xiao and Princess Luo! No matter what, you must ensure that the two of them return safely!"

Chang Chou clasped his fists and accepted the order, then turned and left immediately, his movements were quick and decisive, without any delay. After his figure disappeared from the palace gate, Emperor Wen looked up at Ma Wei and asked sternly, "What happened? Tell me one by one!"

Ma Wei did not dare to be negligent and quickly told Emperor Wen everything that happened by the Crescent Moon Lake today. The details were so detailed that it seemed as if he was there in person.

After Ma Wei finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please understand! From what I have seen, the people who attempted to assassinate Prince Xiao may not be a single group. In addition to the known assassins from Nan Yi, there are other unidentified people hiding among them!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen's face became even uglier, as if covered with a layer of frost, and he said in a cold voice: "How abominable! No matter which force did this, it is unforgivable! Pass the order down, and make sure to thoroughly investigate the real culprit behind the scenes!" His voice was filled with endless anger and determination.

Luo Lingyue stood on the island and looked around. Everywhere she looked was a dense forest. She thought to herself: It seems that the guards who are searching for them will have a hard time finding this place in a short time. She turned to look at Xiao Jinghan and asked softly: "How is your physical condition now? Can you still walk? Why don't we find a place to hide first?"

Xiao Jinghan seemed calm and composed. He calmly threw away the clean-gnawed fish bone in his hand, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly in a playful smile: "Don't panic, Miss Luo! I am well prepared! Look at this mingled arrow, it is specially used to communicate with the guards. As long as we send out a flare, the guards will naturally know where we are." After that, he took out a small and exquisitely crafted mingled arrow from his arms and started to play with it.

Xiao Jinghan carefully held the Ming Di in front of Luo Lingyue, his eyes flashing with pride and satisfaction, and gently shook the Ming Di in his hand, as if he was showing off some rare treasure to her. Then, he pulled the thin line at the tail of the Ming Di without hesitation.

However, something unexpected happened. The arrow that was supposed to soar into the sky and make a sharp sound, now seemed to have lost its vitality and remained motionless.

Xiao Jinghan's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He stared at the scene in front of him in disbelief and pulled the thin line again, but the result was still the same. Looking at Mingdi who had no reaction, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing this, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but frown, with a look of helplessness and speechlessness in her eyes. She raised her eyebrows and said with a somewhat teasing tone: "Master Xiao, have you ever thought that... maybe your Mingdi has been damaged after being soaked in the lake!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinghan's face suddenly showed a mixture of astonishment and confusion. He was stunned for a moment, and finally let go of his hand silently, letting the useless arrow fall to the ground.

Luo Lingyue held a torch and walked forward carefully, looking for a safe place to spend the night. Her eyes were focused and firm, as if she could see through everything in the darkness.

Xiao Jinghan followed her listlessly, his steps seemed a little heavy. He seemed to be still immersed in some kind of loss or confusion, and his whole person had lost his former spirit.

Finally, Luo Lingyue found a small cave hidden in the mountain wall. Although it looked simple, it was enough to shelter from the wind and rain, making people feel a little relieved.

"Let's spend the night here and find a way to go home tomorrow morning." Luo Lingyue turned around and said to Xiao Jinghan, her tone calm and decisive.

Xiao Jinghan was embarrassed and hesitant when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said softly, "Miss Luo, although we are engaged, we are not married yet. Now that we are alone in the same room, I am afraid it will damage your reputation..."

His voice became lower and lower, and his eyes revealed a complex emotion, including respect for Luo Lingyue and his own inner struggle.

Luo Lingyue glared at him fiercely, her face full of impatience, and then shouted loudly: "Stop talking nonsense! Are you coming in or not? Do you want to stay outside all night? Will you be able to go back alive tomorrow? Humph, now that things have come to this, you are beginning to care about my innocent reputation? Why didn't you shut up when I gave you artificial respiration before!"

"Artificial respiration?" Xiao Jinghan couldn't help feeling dazed and confused when he heard this unfamiliar word.

Seeing this, Luo Lingyue rolled her eyes and explained unhappily: "Oh, it's just breathing! In layman's terms, it's a kiss!"

After hearing what she said, Xiao Jinghan was shocked as if struck by lightning...
