Chapter 356 Recuperation
Xue Huang didn't say anything, turned around and walked back, just in time to see Murong Hen looking at the two of them. She immediately understood what Mo Yunchen meant.
But she didn't take it to heart. She walked to the fire and distributed the food roasted by Mo Yunchen to everyone.
They are too seriously injured now to travel easily, and the supplies they brought with them have almost been burned. They will have to wait until Duan Yun and the others catch up before making any plans.
Xue Huang handed the roasted meat to Murong Hen, "Eat something."
Murong Hen couldn't help but ask, "Is he your husband, the one you love?"
Xue Huang did not answer, but asked: "Why do you ask?"
"I always speak my mind, and there is a question that has been on my mind for a long time."
"Mr. Murong, please speak."
"Is he really your sweetheart?"
"You have been holding back for so long before asking me. I am sorry, Master Murong."
"When I see you two getting along, you're always so cold. You're not even as familiar and intimate as when you talk to me. Of course, I mean the kind of intimacy between friends."
Xue Huang sighed in her heart. She really failed in her acting. But how should she act? There were too many grievances between her and Mo Yunchen. Being able to be emotionally stable and live in peace like this was her limit.
She did not answer Murong Hen's question, but said: "It doesn't matter whether they are close or cold. He and I shoulder the important task of the marriage between the two countries." The implication is that whether he is her lover or not, at this point, it doesn't matter at all.
The relationship between them is a transaction, but they also shoulder the heavy responsibility of the alliance between the two countries, which cannot be easily severed.
"But you are not happy." Murong Hen looked at her, "The Miss Xue Huang I knew was bright and free-spirited, quirky and clever, but you are very different now."
"People always change. The me in your memory is the me from three years ago. How can I be the same as I am now?"
Murong Hen felt complicated and indescribable pain in his heart.
Xuehuang didn't say anything else and went over to help Cuinong take care of Haitang.
Xue Huang gave her some internal energy in the early morning, but her injuries were too severe and she might not wake up for a while.
Cuinong wiped her tears and said, "If it wasn't for saving me, Sister Haitang wouldn't be injured so badly."
"She'll be fine, don't worry." Xue Huang comforted her, "Your own injuries are not light either, take a good rest. After we meet up with King Han Xi's men, we'll set off back to Shangyang City."
Cuinong nodded, "Okay."
After comforting Cuinong, Xuehuang went to comfort Yun Qing. She had been staying by Zhuo Yang's side and had not slept all night.
"Go and rest for a while." Xue Huang patted her shoulder, "I'll keep watch for you."
Yun Qing shook his head, "His arm was broken because of me."
Xue Huang felt Zhuo Yang's pulse and said, "His condition has stabilized. Don't worry."
"This idiot," Yun Qing said with a look of heartache, "he usually runs away when he sees me, and he even said that he doesn't care about me. Why would he try so hard to save me if I'm not in his heart?"
"Wait until he wakes up and asks him to marry you, okay?"
Yun Qing was stunned for a moment and looked at Xue Huang, "Princess?"
"You have feelings for him and he is interested in you, so why waste time? If you are willing, I will go find my second uncle and sister Luo Ning and ask them to help you get together."
"Of course I am willing," Yun Qing said, "I am willing to take care of him for my whole life, but I am afraid he doesn't want to."
"Don't worry. I'll help you."
"Thank you princess."
