Heaven Scheme Palace

"How long have we been at the bottom?" This was the first thing Dan Qing Han said after she woke up. She was currently lying on a bed of straw with Gu Qi's night clothes covering her body. Her face was deathly pale and her red lips were cracked.

"You're finally awake." Gu Qi saw that she had woken up, and relaxed, "It's been seven days. Ever since you fell into the cold pond, you have been suffering from a constant high fever and bleeding from your wounds. Fortunately, there are herbs in the valley."

"You, the Zen King who reigned supreme, actually knew about medicinal herbs." She tried to prop himself up, but found he had no strength. He could only lie still.

"I tried my own wound. I tried a dozen different herbs before I found the right one." Gu Qi snorted a few times and picked up a few wild fruits from the ground: "Eat, you haven't eaten for the past seven days and have only relied on water to sustain yourself. I'm really afraid that if you haven't died from sickness, you would starve to death."

She took the fruit but didn't eat it. Her thoughts spun a few times before she asked, "I'm unconscious, do you know how to drink water?"

Gu Qi grinned: "Of course it's me who fed it."

Seeing him laugh so evilly, Dan Qing Han swallowed down the words that he still wanted to ask, but Gu Qi just continued to ask, "You want to know how you feed it, right? "Of course it's using your mouth to feed me. Otherwise, just throw up however much I feed you."

Gu Qi did not dodge and laughed sinisterly: "Not only that, when you fall into the water with a high fever, I will also help you take off your wet clothes and roast them before I help you put them back on again …" At this point, another fruit was thrown at him.

When he saw the look on her face as if she was going to skin him alive, he immediately said, "I didn't do anything. I've always stuck to the etiquette of being a gentleman."

At this moment, her anger slightly lessened, and when she thought about how Gu Qi did it for the sake of her life and safety, she slightly relaxed her emotions.

"Heh, do you think we are friends for life and death now? If there is no way out of this valley, then we will both die of old age here. "It's empty and lonely. Why don't we marry and have a few children …"

"You're overthinking it. We can definitely get out." Dan Qing Han slowly interrupted him.

"Are you so sure?"

"Look at the water in the pool. It's still fresh water, and it goes along with the water, so there must be an exit here."

"I really lost to you." Gu Qi let out a long sigh, bent down and picked up another fruit, then gave it to her: "Hurry and fill your stomach, that way we can both find the exit."

Dan Qing Han did not accept it. Instead, she looked at the red fruit in Gu Qi's hand and suddenly asked: "Why do you want to jump down with me? You are the Zen King, even if Duan Shao captures you, he would not dare to do anything to you. "

"We came to the Qingzhou together to investigate the case. I can't just watch you die, I'm still alive." Gu Qi replied naturally.

When she heard this, she suddenly laughed, and a sour look appeared in her eyes.

"Hey hey, don't cry!" Gu Qi hurriedly stopped her, "I know that my actions have moved you, maybe you have already given up on me, but actually, you were pretty cute when you weren't so fierce."

Hearing this, she laughed, but the tears in her eyes became even more clear. "You really look like a person."

"Love?" he asked.

She nodded her head, "In the past, he was like you. Not caring about his esteemed status, he hovered with me at the edge of life and death."

He asked, "And then?"

"He said the politics are different, so we can't be together."

"Is it a member of the high school?"

Dan Qing Han nodded, "A year ago, she came to the estate to ask for a marriage, but my father refused."

Gu Qi said: "Is it again because of the difference in political positions?"

Dan Qing Han nodded as tears finally rolled down her cheeks.

"I'm very curious as to what kind of man he is."

Dan Qing Han shook her head slowly, not willing to mention his name. She lifted up her sleeves to wipe her tears, and then she started to chew on the fruit, quickly finishing one. Gu Qi handed her another, and after she finished eating, he passed her another, and like this, Dan Qing Han ate a total of ten wild fruits.

After filling his stomach, Dan Qing Han regained some energy and slowly stood up. The wound on his shoulder was still painful, but luckily he was able to move it freely.

She walked to the pool and casually pulled up her messy hair into a bun. Her black hair hung down the back of her neck, but there was an unruliness and freedom that should not have been found on a woman's body.

"Do your family beat you up a lot?" Gu Qi suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Dan Qing Han frowned, she did not know where this question came from.

"When I was changing your clothes, I found a few scars on your body."

The fact that he had seen her naked body was brought up once again. She abruptly turned around and fiercely glared at him, coldly saying, "If you dare to bring it up again, don't blame me if I press you to death in the pool."

"The spirit is here. It's getting rough again." Gu Qi uninterested touched his nose.

Dan Qing Han was not willing to waste any more words with him, and only asked: "During the days that I have been unconscious, have you looked around to see the way out?"

"Nope."

"No?"

"How could I dare to leave when you're unconscious? What if the wolves take you away?"

"Admit it. Actually, you just want to wait for me to wake up and help you find a way out. With your intelligence, you simply can't find a way out."

"Is that how you treat your savior?" Gu Qi pointed at her furiously. He felt aggrieved when he thought about how he had taken care of her these past few days.

"You are mistaken. If it wasn't for me pulling you, you would have already fallen to your death."

… ….

The unceasing sounds of bickering from within the valley added a bit of liveliness to the desolate and barren land.

•

While searching for a way out, Gu Qi's situation kept on changing. He either stepped into the swamp or got lost, and this time he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake.

Gu Qi sat on the ground and watched her bend over and use his mouth to slowly suck out the poison from the wound on his leg. Looking at Dan Qing Han like this, he was truly moved.

Gu Qi's gaze fell upon Shen Qing who had just finished absorbing the poison and ran to the side to pick some herbs: "Shen Qing, let's talk."

Dan Qing Han found the herbs and turned to look at him with a serious face, "You have been talking non-stop the entire way."

"I want to talk to you about the Yao Family's annihilation case."

"Mm, go ahead." Dan Qing Han chewed the medicinal herbs into pieces, spitted them out, and applied the medicine on Yue Yang's legs.
