I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night-Chapter 23
“Don’t Worry, I Sleep Well.”
After a short rest, the refugees continued their journey.
It had been more than a month since they set off at the beginning of August. Unlike the climate in the capital, the further north they went, the colder they began to feel. At least, sooner or later, a simple jacket definitely wouldn’t be enough.
Lin Suisui and Lu Ze, on the other hand, set off in a hurry. They didn’t bring anything to resist the cold.
Over the past few days, Mrs. Luo couldn’t stand it anymore and gave them a slightly thicker blanket from her house. Otherwise, Lin Suisui would have fallen ill from the cold tonight.
However, with the blanket at night, although the problem of keeping out the cold was temporarily resolved, there was a new problem.
The tent was not big to begin with. At night, the two of them squeezed in to rest. Originally, they could make a path in the middle, but now that there was this blanket…
“Don’t worry, I sleep very well.” Lin Suisui promised Lu Ze seriously. After all, this was not the first day the two of them had lived together. Therefore, after Lin Suisui realized that the space was narrow, she promised Lu Ze immediately.
Lu Ze gave Lin Suisui a deep look and said nothing about her promise. He just lay in his seat silently and closed his eyes.
Seeing that Lu Ze didn’t show any signs of objection, Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. She also shook off the blanket and lay down peacefully to close her eyes. She began to wonder if she should buy another blanket or something when she passed by town during this period of time. Otherwise, if it continued to get colder, it would probably be even more unbearable at night.
Lu Ze felt the breathing beside him slowly deepen and stabilize. Then, in the next moment, her thin and soft arm wandered around his body. Then, she squeezed into his arms without any warning…
Thinking about how someone had promised that she slept well…
Lu Ze expressionlessly saved Little White, who was wailing and protesting in the middle of them, and put it aside. Then, he let the little girl reach out and wrap her arms around his waist. In the end, she coiled around him like a vine and comfortably used him as a heater to ward off the cold. She slept soundly…
Lin Suisui realized that Lu Ze always woke up early recently.
Anyway, every time she woke up, Lu Ze was already preparing the food she needed for the next day!
Lu Ze had been pampered since he was young, but he seemed to be more proficient than her in handling trivial matters. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
Lin Suisui had previously asked him about it out of curiosity. Lu Ze touched on it lightly. After staying in the military camp for many years, he naturally learned these things himself.
He really learned it by himself?!
Although Lu Ze made it sound simple, Lin Suisui didn’t believe him. She knew very well that some skills could only be slowly mastered after encountering obstacles time and time again.
However, if Lu Ze didn’t mention it, Lin Suisui wouldn’t poke at his sore spot.
Lin Suisui simply went to the stream at the side to wash up. When she returned, Lu Ze had already packed everything and was waiting for her to come back for breakfast before setting off.
Under Lin Suisui’s anticipation, they walked for another seven to eight days before finally arriving near a large city.
This was an important place on the road leading to the hinterland of the north. Therefore, North Sea City was considered prosperous. There were many shops and inns everywhere.
In any case, the traveling caravans would come here to rest and replenish, so the inns and restaurants here were not worried about lacking business.
Lin Suisui and the other refugees were not allowed to enter the city and set up camp. However, this was not the first time that this place had accepted these citizens who had traveled a long way to the north. Therefore, the governor, who had received the news early in the morning, was very familiar with the route and set up a special resting area for them at the foot of the mountain in the suburbs.
When Lin Suisui and the others arrived, there were already rich families in the city who had already prepared porridge stalls under the governor’s arrangements. They were just waiting for them to come over so that they could be properly settled.
Pei Qian had instructed them to rest here for three days. The refugees could enter the city to buy some daily necessities, but if they took the opportunity to cause trouble, he naturally wouldn’t let them off easily!
Lin Suisui and Lu Ze had just settled their things when Mrs. Luo came to look for Lin Suisui. Actually, there was nothing else. She just invited her to enter the city together tomorrow morning to buy some clothes to ward off the cold and condiments.
Lin Suisui originally planned to agree, but Lu Ze interrupted at this moment and said that he wanted to enter the city tomorrow.
Mrs. Luo was experienced. When she heard Lu Ze’s words, she naturally understood what he meant. The couple wanted to be alone. She would be stupid to be a third wheel!
Therefore, she only winked at Lin Suisui ambiguously and left silently.
“Aren’t you going to sell the herbs you have?” After Mrs. Luo left, Lu Ze explained to Lin Suisui, “You have to be wary of others. I feel more at ease accompanying you.”
“I want to sell the musk. As for the ginseng, I think I’ll keep it for now.” Lu Ze’s words warmed Lin Suisui’s heart. She subconsciously told Lu Ze her thoughts. “When I remove the poison, the ginseng can nourish your body.”
It was not easy to completely remove the poison in Lu Ze’s body. She had to think of everything.
“Also, the rabbit skin I saved on the way can be exchanged for a few copper coins. At least, it’s enough to buy a piece of candy.”
Lin Suisui didn’t know if Lu Ze had any silver on hand, but with the silver she could use now, she felt that she had to be more thrifty in order to not worry about living expenses in the near future.
After all, there was no telling where they would be placed!
If they had to start from scratch, they might have to spend a lot of money!
“I’ll listen to your arrangements.” Lin Suisui’s calculative appearance was quite refreshing to Lu Ze. He had seen too many noble ladies. In order to maintain their image, they were usually unwilling to mention the word gold and silver, as if they were afraid of being tainted, unlike this little girl in front of him…
However, it was this careful calculation that made Lu Ze feel a hint of anger for the first time. It was as if the previously boring world suddenly became different in his eyes.
“Don’t blame me for being stingy!” Lin Suisui saw Lu Ze looking at her with a dark gaze and thought that she had done something wrong just now. For a moment, she couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. She blinked and explained to him in a low voice, “We really don’t have much silver left!”
