The aroma of the grilling fish gradually turned milky white, then slowly changed to a pale golden color. After the fresh fish was cooked, Fu Huaichu unexpectedly pulled out a small bottle of salt from a pile of items behind him.

Su Zhiruan was surprised, “Did you bring salt with you when you left home?”

Bringing salt when leaving home seemed a bit odd.

“It’s not mine, it was left in the carriage by the coachman.” Fu Huaichu naturally wouldn’t carry salt with him; he sprinkled some on the fish.

Su Zhiruan instantly understood; it was normal for a coachman, who needed to exert force in his job, to carry some essentials.

“Who was the assassin in this attempt?” Su Zhiruan sat beside him, thinking of the coachman killed by the assassin’s blade, she then thought of Fu Huaichu, who had been found unconscious and covered in blood in the forest, “When I saw you in the forest, you were already seriously injured. Was this assassin also…”

“Yes,” Fu Huaichu seemed to recall the scene of being pursued, he fell silent for a moment, then continued, “These assassins must be the remnants of the former dynasty. Three years ago, their backing was not insignificant; I was careless then, walking alone without attendants, and was severely injured after being discovered.”

Su Zhiruan had gathered an idea of what these remnants of the previous dynasty were from the plot.

This dynasty began with Fu Huaichu’s grandfather. The Emperor of the former dynasty was a tyrant, excessively lascivious and murderous, indulging in drink and luxury, exhausting his people and wasteful of wealth, making the common people’s lives miserable. Numerous secret factions wishing for rebellion had long appeared among the common people.

At the time, Fu Huaichu’s grandfather held great power as a noble of different surname at the frontier, originally vowing loyalty to the former dynasty. Yet, when he returned with remarkable military achievements, his family had already dwindled to just his young son, Fu Huaichu’s grandfather still alive.

Such deep-seated vendetta made his grandfather unable to bear it any longer, leading him to rebel and declare himself king.

For the common people, it didn’t matter who was the emperor as long as they could live and work in peace and contentment; such an emperor would be considered good.

Fu Huaichu’s grandfather, greatly admired at the frontier, naturally received the people’s support.

After he ascended, he implemented a series of ruthless measures, changing the dynasty and becoming a renowned benevolent ruler.

That is also why Fu Huaichu’s parents, the current Emperor and Empress, are very approachable people.

As for the descendants of the tyrant, they still harbored ambitions of returning to power, but they soon discovered the common people didn’t support them, the courtiers pledged allegiance, and the three generations of the Fu Family were all capable and wise rulers. Under these conditions, the tyrant’s followers had to resort to another low tactic: assassinating Fu Huaichu.

Su Zhiruan learned some parts from the plot and grasped more from Fu Huaichu’s words.

“Don’t worry, Ruanruan,” Fu Huaichu seemed to notice her concern, “These people are not to be feared. Three years ago, when I discovered that Su village had been burned, I thought it was their doing, so I took some effort to destroy this organization. Father Emperor also did a lot covertly.”

“These are the people from the assassin organization left after it disintegrated?” Su Zhiruan thought of the assassins from yesterday, “Are they the ones who escaped back then?”

“Yes, these are the last of the Death Soldiers,” Fu Huaichu nodded.

After he returned and saw the ruins everywhere, rage surged within him. He thought this was the doing of the tyrant’s remaining forces, so he took action and eradicated this group. He assumed the tyrant was already dead and the escaped Death Soldiers wouldn’t remain loyal, but he never expected that they would choose to strike at this time.

His gaze turned cold. Should his woman, and his two children suffer any harm, he would make these people wish they were dead.

He would leave them with no place to be buried.

…

Having grasped the general situation, Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu ate the fish together. The taste was not particularly good, but given their current circumstances, this was already the best treatment they could have.

After eating, they walked around the area, and Su Zhiruan even unexpectedly discovered that there were wild rabbits running past from time to time.

The bottom of the cliff was rarely visited by anyone, let alone hunters, so there were plenty of animals around.

But now it was winter, and only small creatures like rabbits scurried across the ground. They weren’t afraid of people. When they saw Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu walking back and forth, they would tuck themselves to the side, their long ears standing upright, looking exceptionally dumb and cute.

After observing for a day, the two of them had not found an exit, not even a small path. The grass here grew very well, and even now, being dry, it was as tall as half a person.

As dusk was about to fall, Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu each grabbed some food to take back.

The original owner had studied medicine. She had received the original owner’s memories and had a certain ability to recognize herbs. They found some herbs that were useful to them, along with wild potatoes. The potato plants had wilted, but when they dug into the ground, several smooth potatoes were uncovered.

At first, Fu Huaichu wondered whether these could be eaten. Although Su Zhiruan also had her doubts, she decided to take them back, planning to have the system identify whether they were poisonous.

Before heading back to their cave, she also casually picked up two rabbits and held them in her arms.

The rabbits struggled a bit, staring up at Su Zhiruan with wide eyes. Eventually, they settled down, lying quietly in the crook of her arm.

In the evening, after they had eaten some food, they boiled river water and simply washed their faces.

Su Zhiruan had braided her hair into eight plaits in the morning and had not undone them before sleeping.

After a full meal, they lay flat together, and after spending a day and two nights at the bottom of the cliff, the relationship between them had grown even more harmonious and close.

The cave allowed them to see half of the outside sky. As night fell, snowflakes began to drift down through the air.

“It’s snowing again,” Fu Huaichu embraced her from behind, “I wonder how long we will stay here.”

“Maybe soon,” Su Zhiruan sighed deeply, as if trying to memorize the moment before her eyes.

Only during times like these could they completely relax, without worrying about worldly matters or having to socialize and entertain, not concerned about making money to support children.

This serenity, especially for them, was particularly rare.

Fu Huaichu was the Crown Prince, and the affairs of state he needed to attend to naturally need not be mentioned.

She also had to manage those shops, constantly devising plans and activities.

If her intuition was correct, they would probably leave this place within a couple of days.

“We rarely get such leisure time, Ruanruan, do you want to…” His voice was clear and if one didn’t listen to the content, one might think he was a refined gentleman.

But this time, Su Zhiruan didn’t refuse. She turned around, her hand reaching up to caress his chest, “Let’s do it.”

Her words came out light, but under the reflective snow of the night, Fu Huaichu rolled on top, and saw the starry brilliance of her eyes.

In the silent, snow-falling night, in this deep cliff where only the two of them existed, they fiercely made love.

Steam rose, like breaking through ice, making soft, cracking sounds. The rivers melted, sending out shallow, intermittent sounds of water, echoing softly if one listened carefully.

The two rabbits, originally hopping around, were now tired and curled up together, asleep.
