I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Prince!
It was the general who had stopped them at the city gate when they left the capital. He only looked back at them and rode away without saying anything.
From the looks of it, this general was suspicious?!
However, he was just suspicious. If he was really confident and had evidence, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort to chase them all the way here! He would have recognized her and Lu Ze at the city gate!
Therefore, could it be that he still had some scruples?!
Lin Suisui was originally a little worried that the general would come back to cause trouble again, but she didn’t expect that everything would be fine for two to three days in a row.
With such a huge team traveling, they had to prevent people from escaping on the way. More importantly, they had to arrange a place to rest every day.
The further north they went, the fewer people there were. For most of the time, they could only settle down in the open while resting.
In order to adapt, when Lin Suisui set off from the Great Mercy Temple, she bought many things that she could use from other refugees.
For example, there was a tung oil cloth that could be used to set up a tent and a clay pot that could be used to cook food. She even prepared the relatively expensive salt. When she left the courtyard previously, she not only took the salt there, but also other condiments that were convenient to carry.
However, based on the ten catties of coarse grain that the officials had distributed previously, it was definitely not enough to fill their stomachs. Therefore, every time they arrived at the encampment in the evening, the refugees would find food to fill their stomachs.
Lin Suisui had set up the tent early on. When she turned around, Lu Ze had already built a bonfire. In the eyes of others, their cooperation was very tacit.
The next thing they did was no different from that of the other refugees. Lin Suisui and the other women were looking for wild vegetables and fruits nearby, while Lu Ze, like the other men, went to the forest at the side to see if they could hunt any wild animals to eat.
“Prince, these people look very normal. There’s nothing wrong!”
Just as Lin Suisui and the others were working hard to fill their stomachs, Pei Qian, who was holding a clairvoyance, was quietly watching the women who were looking for wild vegetables in the col.
If Lin Suisui were here, she would definitely recognize that this was the general who had blocked their path at the city gate.
He was the son of the Ning Yuan Marquis, Pei Qian.
He was the fourth prince’s cousin.
“Think about it, that person from the Lin family has never been able to leave the residence in her life. How can she be so familiar with handling these trivial matters?! Not to mention wild vegetables, she probably can’t even differentiate between weeds and vegetables!”
Qian He curled his lips at the women in the col in disdain.
Although Sixth Miss Lin was a little stupid, she was still much better than the farmers below!
“Qian He, I just feel that there’s something wrong with that couple.” Pei Qian frowned slightly. After observing for the past few days, he was more or less certain that the people below were not the crown prince and crown princess!
Just as Qian He had said, Sixth Miss Lin, who had been timid since she was young, couldn’t be so calm and composed when facing his interrogation that day!
However, his intuition prevented him from letting go of his suspicion.
“Let’s wait and see! Anyway, what we have to do now is to bide our time. The capital is in a mess now, so we might as well finish the task of escorting the refugees to the north. It’ll be easier when we go back!”
Pei Qian turned around and walked towards the camp under the protection of a group of followers. However, he was still thinking about what to do to test that young lady later!
Lin Suisui’s target wasn’t only wild vegetables, but also the herbs scattered in the grass and forest.
With the current harsh environment, it was difficult to guarantee that there wouldn’t be symptoms like a headache, fever, and diarrhea. With some herbs, it would be convenient to deal with such a situation.
Lu Ze was lucky today. When he came back, he was carrying a fat hare. Because the others who were traveling with him had more or less gained something, his hare didn’t seem too eye-catching.
He returned and greeted Lin Suisui before turning to the river to wash and peel the rabbit. When he returned, he put it on the grill.
“Has that person been staring at us?!”
Lin Suisui sat down next to Lu Ze. The two of them carefully exchanged the information they had obtained when they went out today. She calmly glanced at the campsite that was obviously much more imposing than theirs.
“He won’t act rashly if he can’t find evidence for the time being.”
Lu Ze broke a branch and threw it into the fire. He lowered his voice and said, “Let’s just follow the original plan. However, if I’m not wrong, even if he wants to cause trouble, he will probably choose to target you.”
“Why?” Lin Suisui was stunned. Then, she couldn’t suppress her dissatisfaction and anger. “Why will he target me? Just because I’m easy to bully?!”
“Do you know where Pei Qian comes from?”
Lu Ze turned to look at Lin Suisui with a strange expression.
“you know that general?!” Lin Suisui was a little interested and looked at Lu Zhou curiously.
“The son of the Marquis Ning Yuan.” Seeing Lin Suisui’s confused expression, he explained very patiently.
Seeing that Lin Suisui still looked confused, he added, “He’s the eldest son of Consort Xian’s elder brother and the fourth prince’s cousin.”
Lin Suisui’s expression turned even stranger.
No wonder. So there was such a relationship between them!
“But what does this have to do with him taking the initiative to cause trouble for me?!” Lin Suisui met Lu Ze’s gaze and forcefully dispelled her fear. “Isn’t his cousin already about to get married? It’s a marriage bestowed by His Majesty!
At this point, will his cousin really renege on the marriage for my sake?!”
“Maybe he really will?!” Lu Ze was amused by Lin Suisui’s sophistry. His originally gloomy mood vanished because of her smile.
If what she previously said was true, then the current her was actually quite good!
“Forget it!” Lin Suisui spat and said disdainfully, “If he was sincere, why was he doing earlier?!
He couldn’t even stop me from marrying you previously. There’s no way he will openly defy the decree in order to marry me, the crown princess who has already married you!”
