Chapter 10 Eat Soil to Save Your Life

Everyone looked in the direction of the scream in unison.

It was Chen Chuan.

He lay on the ground in pain, constantly scratching his body. His arm had been scratched, dripping with blood. It was a ghastly sight.

Bai Qingqian had already calculated the time. When Chen Chuan and his men were not paying attention, she quickly distributed half of the pancake to everyone.

They didn't expect her to have something to eat. Everyone was secretly surprised, but they didn't dare to make it public.

When the pancake was handed to Qin Zhu, there was a flash of surprise in the eyes of him. "Princess Bai!"

She smiled gently. "Eat it."

Don't starve my backer to death.

When everyone quietly ate the pancakes, she pretended to be surprised and moved closer to Chen Chuan, who was screaming in pain. "Why are you scratching like this? Are you suffering from a disease?"

The others didn't believe her, but there was no doctor in the carriage. Even if Qin Jinmo had medicine in his carriage, they didn't know what to give Chen Chuan.

"Hold on!" One of them was so anxious that he paced around. Seeing that Chen Chuan's arm was bleeding from the scratch, he simply tied Chen Chuan up and stuffed a wooden stick into his mouth, lest Chen Chuan bite his tongue.

Seeing that Chen Chuan was almost tortured, Bai Qingqian whispered, "I've read about this disease in a book before."

"You know?" The other party was suspicious.

She nodded. "It's a chronic disease. Eating some soil will heal it."

"Eating soil?!"

They frowned and did not believe her.

Bai Qingqian was really stupid. She believed the nonsense made up by those books.

Bai Qingqian looked at them seriously and said, "His situation is special. He will die if he doesn't eat soil."

Chen Chuan was breathing weaker and weaker, his cheeks were flushed, and his lips were gradually bloodless.

This was too strange!

They were shocked. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost ready, Bai Qingqian winked at her eldest brother, Bai Qingzhou.

Bai Qingzhou was not a fool, and he could see what she meant. It was rare for him to cooperate with her, so he said, "I've read this method in a book before. It's a little strange but useful."

They hesitated.

Bai Qingqian was an idiot, and we couldn't believe what she said, but Bai Qingzhou was the most well-read person in the capital, we could probably believe her.

"Hurry up and feed him. I feel like he's dying."

Bai Qingqian added fuel to the fire.

They made up their minds. Two of them held Chen Chuan's hands and feet. One tried to pry Chen Chuan's mouth open, while the other went to dig the soil.

Bai Qingqian followed him and quietly added something to the soil.

After Chen Chuan took a bite of the dry soil, his body gradually became less itchy, and he gradually regained consciousness.

Seeing this, Bai Qingqian, who had sharp eyes, immediately said, "Hurry up, he is going crazy again!"

"You!"

Before Chen Chuan could react, a large handful of soil was forced into his mouth by the four men. They pinched his chin and forced him to swallow it.

The mud, mixed with saliva, flowed down from the corner of Chen Chuan's mouth, soiled his collar, and ruined his face.

The weird taste was running wildly in his mouth. Chen Chuan widened his eyes, kicked over the person who pressed his legs, and pushed over the person who held his hands.

Seeing this, the other two were so scared that their faces changed and immediately stopped.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!" Chen Chuan got up, grabbed one of the water bags, and rinsed his mouth crazily.

As the initiator, Bai Qingqian succeeded in retreating and quietly came to the carriage where Qin Jinmo was sitting.

Seeing the curtain shaking gently, she said with a smile, "You can see it if you want, Prince Qin. There is no need to cover it up! This play is originally for you."

Qin Jinmo lifted the curtain with a cold look in his eyes. "You'll die if Chen Chuan finds out."

She chuckled. "That's why I'm here."

"I didn't want to help you."

"I don't need your help. I'll just stand here." She smiled brightly.

Qin Jinmo put down the curtain expressionlessly. When no one looked at him, he clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and his knuckles turned white.

After a while, he heaved a long sigh of relief and regained his senses.

In the past, he rode on a tall horse, happily took revenge, and lived the happiest life until his legs were disabled and he sat in a wheelchair all day long.

Many people mocked and belittled him.

Bai Qingqian was one of them.

But today, Bai Qingqian stopped Qin Zhu and secretly schemed against Chen Chuan, letting him watch the show and vent her anger at the same time.

He was truly surprised.

Could it be that she had really been woken up by Chu Yu? Or was she just acting?

This thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Bai Qingqian liked the Crown Prince so much that there was no hope for her to change her mind.

Perhaps one of the tasks of Chen Chuan and the others was to cooperate with her in acting.

Qin Jinmo looked at her coldly again.

Outside the carriage, Chen Chuan had already learned that Bai Qingqian was the one who got the ideal of soil treatment. His eyes were cold and gloomy as he said, "Don't play tricks in front of me, Bai Qingqian. I don't care about the tricks of contemptible scoundrels, let alone the Crown Prince."

As he spoke, Chen Chuan smiled wickedly.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qingqian didn't even blink and said calmly, "I don't need to be cared by a dog."

"You!"

Chen Chuan looked at her gloomily.

Bai Qingzhou frowned and stood in front of her. Looking at the murderous eyes of Chen Chuan, he said, "Manager Chen, your Crown Prince just asked you to guard us to the Northwest wasteland. He didn't ask you to make things difficult for us, did he?"

"It's you who didn't follow the rules!"

Bai Qingzhou lightly looked at the carriage where Qin Jinmo was and said, "After all, Prince Qin was only implicated by my family and suffered along the way. Now that everything is settled, the life of the Bai family will be saved. It's not impossible for Prince Qin to go back. At that time, will he tell you the rules?"

Chen Chuan suddenly changed his expression.

Bai Qingzhou was clearly threatening him.

However, the Crown Prince behind him was afraid of such threats.

Marquis Weiwu held the military power. If the Crown Prince wanted to get what he wanted, he had to either get the military power from <span id=2>Marquis Weiwu</span.

No matter which choice he made, he could not completely offend Qin Jinmo, not to mention that he had offended Qin Jinmo the moment he arrived.

Thinking of this, Chen Chuan snorted and stopped talking.

Everyone ate half of the pancakes and drank some water, barely filling their stomachs. Seeing that Chen Chuan had returned to normal, they had to follow him.

Bai Qingqian followed Bai Qingzhou with a smile and said, "Thank you for speaking up for me just now."

Bai Qingzhou didn't even look at her and said coldly, "I just don't want to make trouble."

Although what she had done just now was indeed satisfying, it could not be used as a reason for him to forgive her immediately.

No one knew if she was acting or not.

Night fell, but the evening wind was not cold at all. Instead, it was hot, as if it wanted to roast people alive.

Bai Qingzhou and her manservant skillfully went to the nearby stream to fetch water, and the others searched around in a large circle. Some people even fought with refugees for a sweet potato that had been half eaten by a rat.

The servant of Chen Chuan stepped forward and kicked the manservant of the Bai family hard, dragging him back with a cold face.

Seeing this, Chen Chuan sneered and said, "The Emperor had given you food, but you didn't eat it sparingly. Instead, you robbed refugees. Shame on you!"

The manservant was not convinced and said in a trembling voice, "That's what I found!"

What greeted him was another round of violent beatings.

Bai Qingqian had already endured the heat and went to the carriage, wiped the two children's bodies with a wet handkerchief, changed them into clean diapers, and then fed them some water and ewe's milk. After that, she got out of the carriage with the two children in her arms.

Qin Jinmo happened to see this scene.

Her face darkened slightly and she walked quickly to Qin Jinmo. "It's time for you to shine, Prince Qin."

Qin Jinmo glanced at her coldly and then looked at the child in her arms. He took his daughter and said, "Hypocritical."

But he still asked Qin Zhu to stop Chen Chuan and his men.

The atmosphere became oppressive again.
