Chapter 419 A Glimmer of Hope

The reason why Ling Chu woke up so quickly was not because she was in good health.

It was because of the jade pendants and jade head ornaments she put in the system.

Ever since Princess Dingyuan knew that Ling Chu liked jade pieces, she found all the jade head ornaments in her dowry and gave them to her.

Prince Dingyuan and Han Lin also gave her several jade pendants.

Before leaving Beijing, Ling Chu put them in the system.

In order to stop the flood, the energy of the system had been exhausted.

After fainting, she heard the alarm in her mind that the system was about to be lifted, so she had to let the system absorb all the jewelry and head ornaments.

Seeing her open her eyes, Ning Chuyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Ling Chu smiled bitterly in her heart. She felt uncomfortable all over her body, as if she was about to fall apart.

If she hadn't been out of danger, she would have wanted to lie down and sleep for three days and three nights.

But when she heard the sound of the flood behind her, she had to grit her teeth and stand up.

Ling Chu turned around and quickly looked around, then pointed to the east, "Please help me over there, sir."

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger. It was a desolate place with nothing.

A man took a look and then retracted his gaze, saying with an unhappy face, "You asked us to come to Daluo Mountain, saying that we would not die if we went up the mountain.

But this bridge is impossible to cross. Are you asking us to come here to die?"

Hearing the man's complaint, Ning Chuyi suddenly turned his head and glared at him, his expression as cold as a knife.

If he hadn't been holding Ling Chu with both hands, he would have almost been unable to help but draw his sword and chop the man to death.

The man was frightened by the terrifying murderous aura in his eyes and hurriedly hid in the crowd.

In addition, those who wanted to ask questions were also frightened by Ning Chuyi and shut up.

Ling Chu only glanced at him lightly and retracted his gaze, stretched out his hand and pulled Ning Chuyi's sleeve, "Sir, let's go."

Human nature is selfish, and there is always a lack of people who don't know what's good for them.

The flood was imminent, and Ling Chu had no time to care.

Ning Chuyi looked down at her, and instead of helping her walk, he bent down and picked her up.

The emperor looked around the two of them in surprise, and his lips moved. He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Instead, he smiled with relief in his heart. This kid seemed to have finally got it.

Ling Chu's eyes widened in shock. This was in front of people. Why did Ning Chuyi hug her in front of the emperor?

As soon as she opened her mouth, Ning Chuyi knew what she was going to say, "Do you need to cast a spell later? Save some energy, otherwise you will faint again."

These words hit Ling Chu's soft spot.

Forget it, she has already been hugged, so she should save some energy.

She will have to cast a spell later, and if she doesn't have enough energy, she will faint again.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ning Chuyi quickly lowered his eyes and glanced at her, and whispered, "When we leave Yangqu County, I will ask the emperor to grant me a marriage."

He was telling her not to worry about what others think, and that with the emperor's marriage, her reputation would not be affected.

Ling Chu looked up in surprise, but could only see his resolute chin.

She thought that Lord Ning really had confidence in her, and he was not worried at all that they could not go to Daluo Mountain.

Not hearing her objection to the marriage proposal, Ning Chuyi's heart slowly fell, and his lips slowly curled up.

Ling Chu wanted to say that the marriage was not urgent, but before she could open her mouth, the system's prompt sound came in her mind.

[Ding! ]

[Energy stone mine detected! ]

Ling Chu was delighted and pointed in the direction indicated by the system, "Sir, over there."

"Okay." Perhaps because Ling Chu did not refuse, Ning Chuyi's tense mood was much better. He whispered back and walked forward quickly with her in his arms.

"Put me down." Ling Chu was happy when she saw the picture scanned by the system.

She only calculated that there would be a glimmer of hope here, but she didn't know what it was.

Unexpectedly, there was a jade ore here.

Although the mine was not big and the quality was only average, it was enough for the system to absorb.

Ling Chu looked around and saw a relatively flat stone, and walked over immediately. Although the system absorbed the jade jewelry she put in the space and woke her up.

But she had overdrawn so much energy when blocking the flood just now, causing her body to be very weak. Seeing her staggering, Ning Chuyi quickly reached out to support her arm.

Ling Chu didn't refuse, smiled at him and thanked him. Just as he was about to sit on the stone, Ning Chuyi quickly took off his cloak and spread it on the stone.

"Thank you, sir."

"There is no need to be so polite between you and me."

"Okay." Ling Chu didn't say anything else, but reminded herself in her heart to remember the kindness of Lord Ning to her.

Seeing her accept, Ning Chuyi's expression eased a little.

After Ling Chu sat down, he took a meditation posture, but secretly let the system start absorbing the jade ore.

The emperor and the imperial guards watched from a distance, not knowing what Ling Chu was doing, just thinking that she was meditating to recover her body before casting a spell.

The people listened to the sound of the flood getting closer and closer, and they became more and more anxious and wanted to complain. But when they saw the imperial guards with cold expressions and long swords in their hands, they were afraid.

Ning Chuyi ignored the looks of the people and did not ask Ling Chu, but just stood aside to protect her.

But not long after, he saw that it started to rain again, and he couldn't help frowning.

Just when he was about to turn around and tell Wei Feng to find some big leaves to protect Ling Chu from the rain, he saw Yin Sha holding an umbrella and flying towards this side.

When he got closer, he handed the umbrella to him without saying a word.

Ning Chuyi looked at him with appreciation, took it and held it over Ling Chu's head.

Yin Sha quickly glanced at Ling Chu and retracted his gaze, turning back silently.

Although he didn't know what the princess was doing, he knew that Ning Chuyi certainly didn't want to watch her get wet in the rain.

Wei Feng glared at Yin Sha who was walking back with a toothache. Previously, when he saw him spend ten taels of silver to buy an umbrella from the people next to him, he secretly criticized him for being a spendthrift.

Unexpectedly, he helped the adults to please the princess.

I really underestimated him. He was usually as silent as a piece of wood, but it turned out that he had such a cunning mind. No wonder the adults always valued him more.

Although Wei Feng complained in his heart, he didn't say anything in the end. Seeing that Yin Sha was doing it for the sake of the princess, he didn't bother with him.

Yin Sha saw that Wei Feng was jealous at a glance, but he glanced at him and retracted his gaze.

Ling Chu didn't know about the eye-to-eye dispute between Wei Feng and Yin Sha, and the system was absorbing energy crazily.

The talisman paper she left on the road to block the flood was almost broken. She had to let the system absorb as much energy as possible before the flood arrived.

The roar of the flood was getting closer and closer, but no one had thought of a way to cross the river. Someone finally couldn't help crying, "It's over, we're going to drown."

Some imperial guards were upset by the crying and were about to start scolding.

But suddenly someone shouted, "What is that?"

Everyone looked up and happened to see a much longer shovel and a small hammer flying from Ling Chu's direction to the river surface, and in the blink of an eye they were on both ends of the river surface.

The crowd was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into ecstatic shouts, "Great,... We are saved, we can cross the river and go up the mountain."
