“Your Highness, I think we should not go ahead. I will drop you at the palace,” Chang Shi said.

“No.” Ai Fen refused to go back without seeing the place from where Chang Shi would pick up the herbs. “I can walk. It is my first time climbing such a hill, that’s why I got tired,” she stated.

“Is Her Highness sure? We have taken more than ten breaks in the last thirty minutes. At this rate, it will take us two hours to reach the top,” Chang Shi told her.

Ai Fen stood straight and held her long waist skirt. She resumed the walk while Chang Shi walked behind her.

“Since you come here regularly, that’s why this walk is easy for you,” Ai Fen told Chang Shi.

“Yes.”

“How do you know so many things?” Ai Fen curiously asked him.

“Pardon me, Your Highness. I didn’t understand the question,” Chang Shi said.

.....

“You are a good spy, good at martial arts and even in medicine. It is difficult to possess all such skills at once,” Ai Fen stated.

“It is not impossible though. My father was a medical doctor in the capital and he was good at martial arts,” Chang Shi replied. “I am good at observing people, so from there I developed the quality to be a good spy,” He stated.

Ai Fen nodded at him. “Your mother and father must be proud of you,” she said. “Does your father no longer treat the patients?” She asked.

“Ahh, my father, and mother are no more,” Chang Shi said.

“Umm... Forgive me. I didn’t know,” Ai Fen said.

“It’s fine, Your Highness,” Chang Shi said.

“What about the siblings?” Ai Fen inquired.

“I am the only child,” Chang Shi replied.

“So, do you live alone?” Ai Fen questioned.

“Yes.”

“It must be lonely,” Ai Fen said.

“It is sometimes, but that happens rarely. I enjoy my own company more,” Chang Shi stated.

“That’s good to hear,” Ai Fen said. “But you should get married. Then, the remaining loneliness will disappear,” she opined.

“Yes,” Chang Shi agreed with her.

“I found you are a good friend to Brother Lóng Wei. How did you two meet? To my knowledge, it was tough to be close to Brother Lóng Wei before his marriage,” Ai Fen asserted.

“I met Prince Lóng Wei when he was a kid. He had injured himself and I dressed his wound. From then onwards, Prince Lóng Wei acknowledged me as his friend,” Chang Shi answered.

“Oh. That’s been a long time,” Ai Fen said.

Her shoe slipped and a scream escaped her mouth. But Chang Shi held her arm, thus preventing her from falling. “Be careful, Your Highness,” Chang Shi said and lowered his hand.

“Thank you,” Ai Fen said. “Chang Shi, you must have servants in your service. Don’t you tell them to pick herbs for you?” She asked.

“I prefer to pick them myself. Wild weeds and poisonous plants also grow alongside useful medicinal herbs. That also needed to be taken care of,” Chang Shi explained to her.

She keenly listened to him. While conversing they covered most of the distance and soon reached the top.

Ai Fen saw the path leading to the bamboo forest ahead of them. The herbs were spread widely in that open area. Chang Shi asked Ai Fen to roam around and by the time he would pick up the herbs.

She hummed and went to the other side while Chang Shi went to the other side, holding the basket in his hand.

Ai Fen had her hands behind her back as she looked at the green shrubs. She touched the leaves when noticed a movement in the nearby bush.

She looked behind and then walked ahead to check. Her eyes fell on a rabbit and it made her smile. Ai Fen got on her knees and saw the rabbit was injured. She saw the blood on the rabbit’s leg and quickly picked it up in her hands.

She got worried and ran toward Chang Shi, who was a little far from her.

Chang Shi was busy picking up the herbs when he heard the footsteps. He turned around and saw Ai Fen with a rabbit in her hand.

“Chang Shi, this rabbit is injured. What to do?” She asked him.

Chang Shi placed the basket on the ground and walked to her. He checked the rabbit’s leg and told Ai Fen to sit on the rock near them.

She did what he said while Chang Shi ground some healing herbs on a stone. After making a paste of it, he applied it to the rabbit’s leg. Ai Fen handed him the handkerchief which he tied to the rabbit’s leg.

“Will it be fine?” Ai Fen asked him.

“It should be since the wound isn’t deep,” Chang Shi said and saw the blood in Ai Fen’s hands.

“Are there any wild animals around?” Ai Fen looked around.

“No. Judging by the wound, it seems the rabbit has injured himself while running,” Chang Shi replied.

“That’s a relief,” Ai Fen said and told Chang Shi she would take care of the rabbit.

“As the Second Princess seems right,” Chang Shi said.

“Tell me. What should I do to make its wound heal faster?” Ai Fen questioned.

“Rest and proper food. Rabbits love carrots. So Her Highness can give the carrots to this rabbit. The wound should not be infected, so it is needed to be dressed at regular times,” Chang Shi said.

“Chang Shi, will the Royal Physician help me in dressing its wound?” Ai Fen asked as she gently caressed the head of the rabbit.

“Physician Peng will surely help,” Chang Shi said and stood up. “I should pick up the herbs,” he said and, he again resumed the work while Ai Fen took care of the rabbit. She wanted to leave early for the palace now.

“Chang Shi, what name should I give this cute rabbit?” Ai Fen asked. “Will Baobao be a good name?” She inquired him.

“It will be a good name,” Chang Shi said while plucking the medicinal leaves.

“Baobao, Ai Fen will take good care of yours. We will soon go home,” Ai Fen talked with the rabbit, which made Chang Shi smile.
