Congratulations on opening the coffin

She nodded in satisfaction, and then became a little puzzled: "How did you get this thing?"

"Of course it's ready and sent up."

Xiao Chen's flat tone made her question seem stupid.

Shen Ruo was silent, and further added: "But isn't the mountain road blocked by mudslides?"

"It's just a little mudslide. If you can't overcome this mountain road, you don't need to be a hidden guard."

Shen Ruo listened, but thought of other meanings: "Since the dark guards can deliver Yuchan, why not let them deliver the food?"

Is it interesting to watch the hungry people on the mountain?

"What are you thinking? There are four to fifty people on the mountain, how much food can the dark guards bring up?"

Xiao Chen glanced at her, although he didn't say it clearly, he obviously doubted her IQ.

Shen Ruo refused to accept it: "Then if it took ten days and a half a month, the mudslide hasn't been cleaned up yet?"

"At that time, big brother will naturally solve it."

His tone was flat, but Shen Ruo could hear some implication, that is to say, it is no problem to solve it now, right?
The way she looked at Xiao Chen became subtle, and she was knocked on the head: "Don't think about it, it's just that the elder brother thinks that the children of these aristocratic families are too delicate now, and just wants to hone them."

Shen Ruo rubbed her head, just say what she said, why beat her?
But at the same time, the gentle and pure smiling face of the prince also appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help shivering.

But he didn't notice the thoughtful expression of Xiao Chen looking at his hand in front of him.

She pulled back her wandering thoughts and asked, "By the way, are you hungry?"

Xiao Chen didn't understand why she asked this suddenly, so he just replied lightly: "It's okay."

That is hungry.

Shen Ruo changed the answer to the comment on her own, and dragged him to the kitchen: "Come with me, I have something for you."

In order to prevent the smoke and fire from the kitchen from disturbing the Buddha, the place where it was built is relatively remote, and it will not wake people up if it makes some noise.

She took out the remaining bit of rabbit meat, warmed it up a little, and handed it to Xiao Chen: "You are not in good health, don't be hungry, eat."

However, Xiao Chen just stared at it without moving.

She was a little puzzled: "What's the matter, don't you like rabbit meat?"

Xiao Chen shook his head: "No, I just remembered some past events."

Shen Ruo's tone softened a bit: "Is it something that happened when you were in the cold palace?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen looked at her with some surprise, but he still didn't say anything, nodded and said: "Yes."

"The winter in the cold palace is always very cold, and even the eunuchs don't bother to deliver food. Sometimes, I will have nothing to eat for three to five days, and I even pull out the weeds that grow in the corner of the courtyard and eat them."

"Once, I caught a mouse, and immediately tore down the wooden window and roasted it to eat, which is somewhat similar to the current scene."

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the air.

Shen Ruo's mood is a bit complicated, the past he has experienced may be more difficult than she imagined.

She swallowed her dry throat, not wanting the atmosphere to be so heavy, so she joked, "Wouldn't it be colder in winter if the windows were removed?"

Xiao Chen nodded, "Yes!"

The atmosphere seemed to be sinking again, Shen Ruo patted him on the shoulder immediately, and said in a rather bold tone: "It's okay, I'm still quite good at hunting, and I will definitely not starve you in the future."

She originally wanted to ease the atmosphere and comfort him, but she was taken aback when she met his complicated and profound eyes.

She subconsciously wanted to look away, but she saw Xiao Chen suddenly clutching his chest, his face full of pain.

She was startled, and quickly helped him up: "What's wrong with you?"

Only then did he react again, and immediately asked the system to check.

"The analysis showed that the worms in the patient's heart became inexplicably excited and decomposed special irritating substances, causing severe heart pain in the patient."

"Will it have serious effects on the human body?"

"That's not true. The substance can be absorbed and excreted by the human body, but there will be severe adverse reactions when it comes into contact with it."

Seeing Xiao Chen's unbearable pain, Shen Ruo couldn't help showing a trace of anger when she heard the system's words, and she asked forcefully, "Is there a way to relieve the pain?"

"Are you going to have a cardiac anesthesia?"

"..."

Just when Shen Ruo could only watch him in pain but was helpless, someone rushed in suddenly and pushed Shen Ruo away.

Ge Nanyi hugged Xiao Chen into his arms, and scolded angrily: "What did you do to him?"

Shen Ruo sneered: "Should I ask what you did to him?"

Ge Nanyi choked with guilt: "In short, you are not allowed to approach him again, otherwise..." Her eyes flashed murderous, "I will definitely kill you!"

Saying that, she picked up Xiao Chen and left quickly.

Shen Ruo wanted to stop him, but he also noticed that after Ge Nanyi appeared, Xiao Chen's pain was significantly relieved.

No matter what, Ge Nanyi would never hurt him. Although this knowledge made Shen Ruo very upset, it was also because of this that she didn't stop him.

……

The next day, Shen Ruo got up early in the morning and went to the dining hall, but unfortunately Xiao Chen hadn't come yet.

In order not to appear obtrusive, she made a bowl of porridge, sat down in a random corner, and waited silently.

I heard someone next to me muttering in a low voice: "Why does this porridge smell like roasted rabbits today?"

The companion laughed at him: "You can't be so hungry that you have hallucinations, right?"

Only Shen Ruo lowered her head silently, hoping that no one would notice her.

But someone outside heard the bell ringing again.

Everyone in the dining hall was in a commotion: "Ring the bell again? Will there be another major incident? Let us go."

Having said that, everyone rushed to the main hall together, and asked the people around them what happened.

For a while, the supposedly quiet and peaceful Buddhist hall was in chaos.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The abbot tapped the ground twice with the Zen stick in his hand, and the copper ring on it made a "ping-pong" sound.

The crown prince who arrived one step later, walked up to the abbot in the path that everyone gave way to: "Abbot, what happened?"

The abbot pointed at the three people kneeling in front of the Buddha statue with his Zen stick, suppressed his anger, and said solemnly, "His Royal Highness, you can ask them yourself!"

Shen Ruo, who was hiding in the crowd, could tell at a glance that those three guys were the ones who wanted to grab rabbit meat from them yesterday?

Now, Shen Ruo probably understood what was going on.

The three of them didn't know what they did, they were covered in mud and tattered, and they were a bit more embarrassed than beggars.

The young man in white who was kneeling first on the left spoke first, and said pitifully, "Your Highness, you can't blame us for this. We are too hungry, so we thought of catching a rabbit to eat."

"However, we just set up the fire, and before we had time to take a bite, we were caught by the monk who came to carry water."

"Your Highness, let the abbot let us go this time."
