4Feng Wu nodded. "I see."

Zhao Jia said, "Then…"

Feng Wu nodded. "If you can come back before we set out tomorrow morning, sure, go ahead."

Zhao Jia looked pleasantly surprised. "Thank you, my lady!"

Feng Wu waved him off. "Don't worry about it. By the way, since you grew up here, tell me: what do you do for fun around here?

"This journey has been so exhausting; it would be great if there's a waterfall nearby."

Zhao Jia said, "Miss Wu, are you looking for a waterfall? We don't have that here, but there's one place that may interest you."

Feng Wu raised an eyebrow. "Really? Tell me about it."

Zhao Jia nodded and said, "To the northeast of the cliff is a hot spring. It's steaming hot all year round and is very beneficial for one's health.

"Plus, it's in a great location. It's right up the cliff, and the water levels off with the side of the cliff so that you can't see the edge of the spring. You can enjoy the view of everything down below."

Feng Wu said, "Aren't you describing an edgeless pool?"

Zhao Jia said, "An edgeless pool?"

He thought about that name and found it very accurate. "Yes, that's exactly what it is."

Feng Wu asked, "It's not easy to find, is it?"

Zhao Jia nodded. "That's true. If I hadn't gotten lost in the mountains when I was little, I wouldn't have found it either."

Feng Wu rubbed her chin and murmured, "His Royal Highness coughs a lot. Sometimes, the coughing even keeps him awake at night. What if the hot spring can cure him?

"That way, maybe Her Majesty and His Majesty won't dislike me so much."

Feng Wu made sure that she was just loud enough for Zhao Jia to hear.

She then waved at Zhao Jia. "I don't like too much noise. Do you know what I mean?"

Of course, Zhao Jia did. He immediately said, "Would you like me to take you there? I'll go back home after that. I won't tell a soul."

Feng Wu said, "What good will that do? I don't have any health problems. I need to think of a way to get the crown prince there, but His Royal Highness isn't easily persuaded… But I know what to do. Wait here."

Feng Wu then walked into the tent.

The look on Zhao Jia's face changed immediately. The smile was gone, and he was smirking.

Feng Wu was gone for quite a while.

He was already wondering if Feng Wu had failed, when she came back out.

She waved at Zhao Jia. "Wait for me halfway up the mountain. If Jun Wuxia and Jun Linshen see us, they'll try to take the hot spring. I don't want to make a fuss about it."

Zhao Jia had to follow her orders, so he nodded and quickly went up the mountain.

After he left, Feng Wu turned around and saw Jun Linyuan.

"Come inside." He then pulled her into the tent.

Feng Wu was perplexed. Why was the crown prince suddenly so serious?

Before she realized it, something cool and soft hit her on the forehead. Feng Wu grabbed it and frowned. "What's this black thing?"

Jun Linyuan didn't explain anything. He just ordered, "Take off your clothes."
