Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 298 Knowing the Identity

Yun Fuling adjusted her direction along the way and walked in the direction of the source of the heat.

With this little bit of skill, plus maybe some good luck, she managed to find the hot spring in no time.

White mist is curling around the hot spring, and it feels like being in a fairyland when you first enter.

The temperature here in the hot spring is obviously higher. Yun Fuling started to sweat after staying there for only a short while.

Yun Fuling stretched out her hand to test the water temperature. The temperature of this hot spring was quite high, about 40 to 50 degrees.

In the pool in the middle, you can see spring water bubbling out from underground.

In addition to the pool in the middle, there are several smaller pools around it, which appear to have been artificially built later.

I think it was built by the people on Devil's Island, who diverted the hot springs into several small pools around it to make it convenient for people on the island to come and soak in the hot springs.

Yun Fuling smelled a strong smell of sulfur in the hot spring, and thought that this should be a sulfur spring.

Soaking in such hot springs has many benefits for the body.

It would be great if this hot spring could be moved away, so that she could soak in it whenever she wanted.

It’s a pity that this hot spring cannot be moved.

Yun Fuling observed the terrain around the hot spring and estimated that the formation of this hot spring should be related to underground magma.

Since we can't move away, we can only find opportunities to soak in it more while we are still on the island.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Yun Fuling knew that they couldn't take a bath tonight, so she led her group back.

It's been quite some time since she came out, it's time to go back and check on her.

I don’t know if there has been any progress from Xiao Jingyi’s side, and whether I can get any useful information from those pirate leaders.

Thinking of this, Yun Fuling immediately quickened her pace.

Unexpectedly, she was tripped by something and almost fell.

Fortunately, Yaoguang was quick to pull her back in time, so she did not have a close contact with the earth.

Yun Fuling steadied herself, looked down, and found several stones the size of a child's palm on the ground.

She was tripped by this small stone just now.

They were just a few small stones. Yun Fuling thought it was due to her carelessness and didn’t take it seriously.

She raised her foot and was about to walk away, but suddenly paused, her eyes fell on the stones, and she felt that the stones seemed a little different.

Yun Fuling bent down and picked up a stone. She looked at it carefully in the last rays of sunlight, then put it under her nose and smelled it. Her eyes lit up.

She picked up several nearby stones and looked at them.

Seeing this, Yaoguang asked in confusion: "Master, is there anything wrong with these stones?"

Boss Wu then picked up a stone and looked at it.

I looked at it for a long time but couldn't see anything different. Isn't this just an ordinary stone?

Yun Fuling wrapped the stones with a handkerchief and said, "These are not ordinary stones."

She didn't say anything more, but took out the dagger from her waist and carved a mark on a tree trunk nearby.

"Okay, let's go back first."

It's getting dark now.

Yaoguang glanced at the sky and saw that Yun Fuling didn't say anything more about the stones, so she didn't ask any more questions and escorted Yun Fuling back to the mansion in the center of the island.

When we returned to the mansion in the center of the island, lanterns were already lit in the house.

Bonfires and torches were lit outside the house, making the night as bright as day.

Yun Fuling grabbed a guard and asked, "Where are the prince and the left commander?"

When the guard saw Yun Fuling, he immediately bowed and replied, "The prince and Commander-in-Chief Zuo are still interrogating the pirates."

Yun Fuling vaguely heard screams coming from the night.

She didn't ask any more questions and waved at the guard, "Go and get busy."

Yun Fuling thought that Xiao Jingyi didn't know how long he would be busy, so it was better not to disturb him now.

She turned to Mr. Wu and said, "Go ask if there is a clean empty room and arrange one for me. I need to rest."

Boss Wu responded and immediately asked someone to make arrangements.

Yun Fuling stood in front of the house, looking at the laborers who were busy not far away and occasionally looking at her with inquiring eyes.

Yun Fuling raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then said to Fang Yu: "I don't have anything to do here, go and play by yourself."

"Stay on the island and don't leave. Otherwise, I won't take care of you if anything happens."

"As soon as things on the island are settled, we will set off back."

"You took us to Devil's Island, so what I promised you before will naturally count. When we return to Daqi, I will fulfill my promise to you!"

Under the firelight, Fang Yu's eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of tears, and were hazy with excitement and shock.

He was stunned for a moment, then he bowed respectfully to Yun Fuling and turned and ran away.

Yaoguang looked at Fang Yu and said worriedly, "Master, you didn't avoid him when you were talking to the guard just now. He must have heard everything."

Yun Fuling raised her eyebrows and smiled, then patted Yaoguang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I know what's going on!"

When Yun Fuling discovered that Fang Yu was following them, she did not get angry. Instead, she took Fang Yu for a stroll on the island. She did it on purpose.

The number of people she brought was insufficient, but fortunately Xiao Jingyi persuaded the civilians to stand on his side, which made up for the shortage of manpower.

But this temporary obedience is not solid enough.

Who knows if there will be any changes in the future that will cause them to turn against each other?

Only sufficient benefits and deterrence can make them firmly choose Xiao Jingyi's side.

And Xiao Jingyi's identity can represent sufficient benefits and deterrence.

However, if they announce this identity themselves, the effect will inevitably be discounted.

That was why she had deliberately brought Fang Yu with her earlier, so that the civilians on the island could see her closeness to and importance towards Fang Yu.

When she was talking to the guard just now and asked about Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan, she deliberately did not avoid Fang Yu.

Fang Yu has always been curious about their true identities. Now that he suddenly knows them, he must be shocked.

But to those civilians, Fang Yu was one of their own who had shared the hardships with them.

Compared to them, Fang Yu is naturally closer and more trustworthy.

The words coming out of Fang Yu's mouth are naturally more convincing.

At this moment, Fang Yu only felt a rumbling sound in his head, and the whole body seemed to be stepping on a ball of cotton, with one step deep and one step shallow.

He has always been curious about the identities of Yun Fuling and the others, and has had countless guesses in his mind.

But he never imagined that there was a prince among them.

There was also a commander-in-chief. Although he didn't know what kind of official that was, he felt that he was a very powerful official as soon as he heard about it.

Oh my God, I didn’t expect that he would be able to meet a prince in his lifetime.

In the past, I might not even have been able to get a glimpse of such a noble family, but now I can get close to them.

Fang Yu just felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
