Chapter 4 The Prince Is Awake
After Chen Lizheng and the others left, the surroundings became completely quiet. A cool wind came from all directions. Qin Mengshang rubbed her arms and suddenly felt a little glad that it was summer, otherwise she would have frozen to death here.

Pushing the door open and entering, a smell of decay from a long time ago hit my nostrils.

The hall was full of large and small puddles, and there was a hole as big as a bowl on the top of the head. Weeds were crawling into the cracks in the surrounding walls, and a layer of sticky mud was brought up when the feet stepped on the ground.

There was only an old Babu bed in the wing room. The quilt on the bed had long been moldy. When I lifted it with a stick, cockroaches and mice came out.

Qin Mengshang was confused and rushed out immediately. His shoulder accidentally hit the door, and he only heard a loud "bang"——

The door fell down!

"."

The house was already leaking, but now that the door fell down, the wind was no longer hindered, and it poured heavily in.

Qin Mengshang held up the wooden door with tears in his eyes. When he saw the half-dead prince lying in the courtyard, he wanted to cry even more, so he walked over and pulled off the straw mat covering him.

"The roof of my house is broken. It's probably going to rain at night, so I had to use a straw mat to block it off. Your Highness, do you have any objections?"

The prince was in a coma, so of course he wouldn't have any objections.

Qin Mengshang rolled up the straw mat and left as a matter of course. However, after she left, the person lying on the cart seemed to move his fingers.

It rained heavily last night and the house was damp. After checking around, we found that in addition to the leakage in the main room, the kitchen was also the worst affected area. The pots and pans were filled with water, and there were even frogs taking a bath in the bowls!
Qin Mengshang pressed his throbbing forehead and moved out the ladder leaning against the wall, intending to mend the roof first.

The fence around the house was damaged by wind and rain, and most of it collapsed, allowing outsiders to easily climb in. The door to the house was also broken, leaving no safety at all.

Now I have to repair the roof, weed the house, and clean up the house. In addition, the grain in the rice vat is also moldy, so I have to borrow some grain.
Just thinking about it makes Qin Meng Shang's head grow bigger!

No, she has to find someone to do the work for her.

She glanced outside the room and saw that the prince was motionless. She confidently took out the card hidden in her sleeve and called: "General Meng?"

【Ding!The famous Qin Dynasty general Meng Tian is online~]

As the system's voice fell, a tall and burly figure appeared in the narrow hall, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "What are your orders, my lord?"

Qin Mengshang pointed to the big hole above his head and said, "I just moved here and there is air leakage everywhere. It is rainy in Lingnan. I would like to ask the general to help me mend the roof."

After hearing what she said, Meng Tian noticed how dilapidated the place he was in was. The room was dark and cramped, overgrown with weeds, and only an inch of space under his feet could still accommodate a person.

The lord is supposed to be a powerful figure who commands the world. It must be a traitorous minister who is in power and forces the lord here!

Really hateful.

Seeing his frown, Qin Mengshang called out again: "General Meng?"

"Don't worry, my lord," Meng Tian came back to his senses and looked solemn, "The general will definitely help you return to the imperial city!"

After that, he held the straw mat in one hand and the ladder in the other, and walked out of the house with his head raised.

Qin Mengshang was confused and didn't think much. He took a broom and started cleaning the house. He had to clean up the room before dark, otherwise he wouldn't even have a place to sleep at night.

Although this house is dilapidated, fortunately it is far away from the village. Even if a living person is transformed out of thin air to repair the roof, there is no need to worry about being seen.

The two of them worked hard, and no one noticed that there was a shocking red under the closed eyes of the prince on the cart.

The mist dragged Zhou Lingqi into a boundless dream like a pair of invisible hands. Vaguely, he saw someone kneeling in front of him, with disheveled hair, a withered face, and hands as thin as bones trying to grab his robe ferociously. "Please let Ling'er go, he is innocent!"

"It's all my fault. Ling'er is still young and he doesn't know anything! It was me, I shouldn't have left with King Yi back then."

The woman tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, but the next moment she smiled and shouted: "Zhou Lingqi, I have never regretted it! The only thing I regret is marrying you in the first place!"

"You've got everything, why are you still pushing me so hard?! If you dare to touch Ling'er, I'll kill you!"

A sharp sound accompanied by the roar of thunder exploded in the ears, the wind and rain swayed, the bead curtain flew, and the gold hairpin pierced the chest, spreading layers of scarlet.

The palace people screamed in panic, and the woman smiled miserably, as if she had finally been freed, and fell into a pool of blood.

There was lightning and thunder outside, and heavy rain.

The cold touch dispelled all the heat, more raindrops fell densely, rain and mist drifted, and Zhou Lingqi heard a distant and familiar voice——

"It's raining. Come and help me carry the prince in."

Zhou Lingqi suddenly opened his eyes, raindrops fell into his eyes, green mountains came into view, and his groggy mind suddenly became clear.

Meng Tian immediately noticed that the prince was awake: "My lord, I'm awake."

Qin Mengshang turned his head and met the prince's deep and cold eyes, and was suddenly startled.

When did the prince wake up?
What's with that look that wants to kill her?I just let him blow the wind in the yard for a while, so that's not the case, right?

Zhou Lingqi stared at the living person in front of him, scanning her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips little by little, gradually overlapping with the crazy and twisted face in his memory.

But it's different.

The person in front of him was dressed in gray plain clothes, with his hair in a nondescript bun. His narrow sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing a section of his fair wrist.There was a white cloth wrapped around his forehead, but his cheeks were slightly red. Even though he was standing in a desolate and dilapidated thatched house, he couldn't hide his beauty.

No matter how this face changes, she is still his princess!
Bloody memories swept over him like a wave. Zhou Lingqi wanted to raise his hand and pinch the slender white neck, but he couldn't stop the headache from coming on. Before he could speak, Zhou Lingqi fainted again.

He was caught off guard. Qin Mengshang was a little confused and tentatively called out: "Your Highness?"

No one reacted at all.

Meng Tian stepped forward to check his injuries and said: "My lord, the injury on his shoulder is very deep. He must have lost too much blood and was temporarily comatose."

Only then did Qin Mengshang notice that there was blood overflowing from the piece of clothing under Zhou Lingqi's left shoulder. It seemed that the wound had opened again.

There is no doctor in Sanjiang Village. On weekdays, the villagers collect their own herbs and use local remedies to deal with illnesses. Only when they are seriously ill do they spend money to hire a doctor at the town's medical center.

At this time, the sky had darkened. Although the rain was light, Sanjiang Village was more than ten miles away from the county seat. I was afraid that it would rain heavily before I left the village.

The prince's injuries were serious. If he didn't survive, she, the princess, would probably be close to death.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Mengshang took off the raincoat hanging on the wall and walked out.

"General, could you please keep an eye on him for me first? I'll go to the village to see if there are any herbs to stop the bleeding."
