Chapter 72  Zhao Zixuan Falls into an Ice Pit

Feng Xiran, who was sleeping in her clothes, was about to rush outside with two others when suddenly, the curtain was lifted from outside.

Fei Shuang entered with a worried look. Seeing that Feng Xiran was unharmed, she sighed with relief. "Your Highness, there was an avalanche ahead, we might need to take a detour!"

The cold wind kept trying to force its way inside, but finally stopped when the curtain was let down.

"Where is my elder sister?" Feng Xiran asked.

Hearing that Feng Muqing couldn't bear it any longer and had gone to see Chen Siyi for acupuncture, Feng Xiran relaxed.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Jing Sa's voice came from outside the curtain, and Feng Xiran lightly coughed, calling him in.

Jing Sa, having heard about the avalanche, had rushed to Feng Xiran's tent.

Fortunately, the avalanche had occurred some distance away, but the loud noise had startled everyone.

As he entered, he brought a blast of cold air with him, and it seemed that a layer of frost had formed on his clothes.

"Why are you here?" Feng Xiran asked.

"I came to check on you!" Jing Sa, not reassured, sat down beside her.

He inwardly scoffed—Feng Xiran wasn't a woman of the Yilin Kingdom, how could she be afraid of such things? He found himself ridiculous for worrying.

While Fei Shuang was reporting on the situation ahead, Ling Shuang lifted the curtain and helped Feng Muqing inside.

"How is my elder sister?" Feng Xiran asked.

Feng Muqing held her head, her expression pained. Her body was weak against the cold and she had difficulty adapting to the climate here.

"Should we send someone to escort my sister back home?" Feng Xiran asked kindly, turning to Ling Shuang.

Upon hearing this, Feng Muqing's eyes snapped open. "No! I can handle it."

There was a stubbornness in her gaze. Wanting to prove she could manage, she even pushed away Ling Shuang, who was supporting her.

Ling Shuang couldn't help but furrow her brows, and Feng Xiran didn't understand why her sister was being so stubborn, forcing herself to endure when her body clearly couldn't handle it.

After a long pause, Ling Shuang sighed. "Fine, let's not send her back then."

She eventually relented, instructing the attendants to be extra careful.

"What about Xue Chenxi and the others?" Feng Muqing asked, her expression suddenly tense.

"They went out for a bathroom break and haven't returned yet?" she asked, looking around the tent.

The people in the tent exchanged uneasy glances.

Realizing the potential consequences, Feng Xiran gave the order for people to search for them immediately, but warned them not to shout loudly, to avoid triggering another avalanche.

If that earlier avalanche...

——

Earlier, Xue and Zhao had gone out with a few others for a bathroom break, walking a bit farther from the camp.

In the snowy landscape, the sound of rustling could be heard. Zhao Zixuan looked up and her heart lifted with excitement. In a quiet voice, she said, "Chenxi, look over there!"
