Dewdrop sat alone at the carriage door like a quail, her back to Jiang Wei and the others.

Jiang Wei reached out and took a piece of pastry from Xiao Zhan's hand, which was still holding it.

She smiled at Xiao Zhan and gave the pastry to Lu Zhu.

Dewdrop glanced at Xiao Zhan before carefully taking the pastry from Jiang Wei's hand.

"Thank you, Miss. You're the kindest to me." Seeing Xiao Zhan's somewhat disdainful look, she was afraid of being kicked off the carriage, so she quickly reverted to her quail-like demeanor.

She made Xiao Zhan treat her as if she were invisible, as if she didn't exist.

The carriage arrived at a stream, where there was a courtyard with a bamboo fence. Inside the fence was a vegetable garden, but even though the sun was shining today, the garden was still covered in snow, with no vegetables or mud in sight.

Jiang Wei followed Xiao Zhan off the carriage, pushed open the fence, and walked into the courtyard along a path paved with pebbles.

The people inside heard the sound of the fence being opened and came out.

"They've arrived." Prince Shen and Princess Shen stood at the door. Prince Shen put his arm around Princess Shen's waist, and the smile on Princess Shen's face was as dazzling as the sunlight today.

Xiao Zhan nodded to them, "Royal Uncle, Royal Aunt."

Because Xiao Zhan and Prince Shen are only a few years apart in age, and they have been close friends in the palace since childhood.

Since Xiao Zhan's father became emperor, Prince Shen has always been the one who was fawned over. Firstly, because Prince Shen was the son of the emperor's aunt, and secondly, because Prince Shen was wholeheartedly devoted to his emperor brother. Xiao Zhan, on the other hand, was the one who was trampled on. With his mother gone, he was a prince without anyone to protect him, and everyone wanted to kick him while he was down. The concubines, who also had sons, wished he would die so that there would be one less person competing with their sons for the throne.

He survived for many years thanks to Prince Shen's secret care, and was eventually able to leave the capital to seek a living on the border.

Jiang Wei bowed to Prince Shen and Princess Shen. Princess Shen immediately wanted to step forward to help her up, but Prince Shen stopped her, saying, "I can accept it, I can accept it."

At first, Princess Shen was puzzled. They were members of the royal family, so of course they accepted Jiang Wei's greeting.

Even though Xiao Zhan is a prince and has a higher status than them, they are still willing to accept his bows.

Because they are his elders.

Seeing that his princess was not quite understanding, Prince Shen put his mouth close to her ear to explain. He heard his princess say calmly, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't scare her away. If you do, you'll never have a peaceful life."

Xiao Zhan was a martial artist with excellent hearing, so of the four people, only Jiang Wei did not hear what he said.

Xiao Zhan had an expression that said, "Your Majesty is right."

Prince Shen was speechless.

Jiang Wei noticed their expressions changing constantly and wondered what they were trying to say.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside!" Prince Shen said gently.

Prince Shen hugged Princess Shen even tighter.

The two turned around and went inside first.

Jiang Wei was seeing such intimacy between a man and a woman for the first time, and lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

My face felt slightly hot.

Xiao Zhan saw all of this and couldn't help but find Jiang Wei somewhat adorable.

After entering the house, Prince Shen still had his arm around Princess Shen.

Xiao Zhan gave Prince Shen a wink, and only then did he reluctantly remove his hand.

His eyes seemed to say, "I haven't even married my wife yet, so I won't let anyone else get close to her."

Prince Shen rolled his eyes at Xiao Zhan, annoyed. He was an eyesore.

Jiang Wei sat down opposite Prince Shen and his wife, with hot tea brewing on the small table in the middle.

Jiang Wei couldn't understand how Princess Shen, who clearly had such a loving husband, could have met such a tragic end in her past life, when she seemed perfectly healthy.

Prince Shen peeled an orange and placed it in Princess Shen's hand. "Princess, I'll go hunt a fox for you later and make you a scarf. Just wait here."

Xiao Zhan poured her a glass and handed it to her, saying, "Nuan Nuan."

Jiang Wei felt a little embarrassed, especially since there were other people present.

She took a small sip, just enough to moisten her lips.

"What do you like to eat?" Xiao Zhan asked Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei looked up at him.

Xiao Zhan added, "As long as it's available, I can hunt it for you. We'll have barbecue tonight."

Prince Shen rolled his eyes at Xiao Zhan, "It makes you look capable."

Prince Shen stood up. "Let's go!"

"You and your aunt can have some tea here. We'll come back in about half an hour and then roast some meat for you and your aunt." After giving his instructions, Xiao Zhan got up and left with Prince Shen.

Jiang Wei chatted and laughed with Princess Shen, talking about Xiao Zhan's childhood. Of course, she didn't know this before; it was Princess Shen who told her later.

They talked about Gao Youlan's childhood and said that if they had known they were going hunting, they should have brought Gao Youlan along.

I would be so happy if she could come.

Jiang Wei subtly inquired about the health of Princess Shen.

Princess Shen said that she had always been in good health since she was a child and rarely got sick.

She was in good health, so she couldn't possibly die of illness in a short time. Moreover, Prince Shen doted on her so much that although he had two concubines in his household, they were said to be just for show.

Why did she die so young in her past life? Besides illness, another possibility is poisoning.

The Prince Keshen's residence has a small population, how could they have been poisoned!

We still need to observe secretly and wait until Doctor Mo has some free time before asking him to examine Princess Shen.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment," Jiang Wei said.

Although Princess Shen did not understand what Jiang Wei was trying to do, she nodded nonetheless.

Jiang Wei went out and found Lu Zhu. She took a small porcelain bottle from Lu Zhu and poured out a few of the antidote pills that Doctor Mo had given her.

"What is this?" Princess Consort Shen looked at Jiang Wei in confusion.

Jiang Wei smiled and replied, "These are antidote pills I got from the divine physician. I heard they can cure almost any poison. I haven't had a chance to thank you yet, Your Highness, for helping me so much last time!"

Consider this my thank-you gift.

"Miss Jiang, you're too kind. It was nothing at all." Princess Shen played with the porcelain bottle. "A miracle doctor?"

In the entire Great Xiao Dynasty, only Doctor Mo can be called a divine doctor. However, Doctor Mo is elusive and no one has been able to find his whereabouts to this day.

Not wanting to offend Jiang Wei, she thanked him with the porcelain vase as a token of her appreciation.

Jiang Wei saw that Princess Shen was not very credulous, so she didn't say much. She couldn't expose Doctor Mo's whereabouts and cause him trouble.

"Your Highness must keep this safe; this medicine is extremely rare," Jiang Wei said sincerely.

"Alright." Princess Consort Shen thought to herself, the Chen family's business is so good, maybe they really did buy Doctor Mo's medicine there, who knows.

"I will definitely cherish it, don't worry." Prince Shen placed the porcelain vase close to his body.

Prince Shen insisted on challenging Xiao Zhan to a horsemanship contest while riding his horse. Xiao Zhan, not wanting to compete, rode his horse into the woods.
