Chapter 360 Treating Him as One of Their Own
Lu Beimo was a prince and the commander-in-chief of the army, but his tent was no different from where the soldiers lived.
It's simple, even rudimentary.
The only difference was that there was a very large table with a sand table on it, and a wooden box next to the table filled with important documents.
As for his clothing, food, and lodging, he probably only had one or two more sets of clothes than the soldiers. His bed was the same hard board bed, and his quilt was slightly newer. Overall, his camp environment was a little better than the soldiers', just a little bit.
She recalled the time when she and Lu Fengjin went to war together, Lu Fengjin, her elder brother, and her own tent.
Although it couldn't compare to the luxury of a prince's or duke's mansion, it still had everything one would need, with no shortage of food or clothing.
"Your Highness... how long have you been staying here?" She didn't really know what she wanted to ask.
Lei Ting answered truthfully: "Not long, only stayed for two days, and then went to Xishan."
"So, because it's just a temporary rest stop, that's why it's so simple?" She didn't want to make herself feel even worse, but at this moment, she just felt heartache.
Lei Ting scratched his head, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning behind her expression. Was it... disdain?
“Young lady, I didn’t know you would come today, and neither did the Prince. If he had known, he would have prepared something even better for you…”
“He used to be…” Chu Yueli looked at him, and suddenly, it seemed she understood.
Thunder didn't find anything wrong with the tent.
But Lu Beimo is a prince!
He is the emperor's own son and the revered King of the Northern Frontier.
Lei Ting finally understood her eyes and expression, and he hurriedly explained, "Your Highness has always been so free and easy. When you were in the Northern Frontier, you lived in places with even worse conditions than this. The environment in the Northern Frontier is harsh, and the journey is arduous. Your Highness has always lived in the simplest way possible."
But now Lei Ting knows that the prince has a girl by his side, and that a girl like that might not be able to endure hardship.
He said, "I don't know when the Prince will return, and when he does, he probably won't stay and will go straight back to the capital. If Miss Li doesn't mind, please stay here. I will send someone to help you settle in right away. Whatever you need, I will get it for you immediately."
"No need. Can you tell me about the situation after Prince Mo entered Xishan? I received news that the prince is trapped in Xishan."
Chu Yueli walked to the sand table and looked at the terrain of the Xishan area.
Fortunately, just as she had previously discovered, at least the topographical map in Lu Beimo's possession was correct, which was crucial.
“Here…” She looked at the several places marked on the sand table and glanced at Lei Ting.
Lei Ting hurriedly said, "It is the location of the strange stone forest that Your Highness discovered. There are currently three such locations. The place where Your Highness is currently trapped is this stone forest area."
Lei Ting pointed to the place furthest from Hengxian City, which was also the deepest part of the Xishan Mountains.
"Why did he want you to stay here? Did he foresee danger in Hengxian County?"
Lei Ting glanced at her.
In fact, Miss Li did not realize that her tone of voice had completely integrated her into the identity of the prince's "family member," making her one of the family members.
Even Chu Yueli herself probably realized this belatedly, and her cheeks immediately turned red.
But finding Lu Beimo's whereabouts is more important than anything else. Why bother with these trivial matters?
