Chapter 132: Soft around fingers

Nymph paused slightly.

Then a guess came to my mind.

Zong Si was willing to die for Prince Xuan's palace, and he didn't care. Prince Xuan sacrificed him for the family, so why did his temperament become so cold in his previous life?

Thinking of this, an idea came to Nymph's mind.

Perhaps among those who came to hunt him down, there were those sent by Prince Xuan’s Palace.

Ningfu was in mixed emotions, she also trusted her parents wholeheartedly, if she knew her mother wanted her to die for profit and she was betrayed by the most important person, she would feel worse than death.

This time, Zong Si slept for three whole days.

Ning Fu thought he was going to die and was extremely anxious, but she did not dare to go out too often, for fear that someone would follow her when she came back. She could only feed him medicine every day. On the fourth day, when she was decocting the medicine, she finally saw him wake up leisurely.

Nymph put down the medicine jar and walked towards him.

"The prince has slept for three days." Ning Fu informed him, and her tone was clearly relieved.

Zong Si looked at her: "Are you just going to guard me like this?"

"Then I can't abandon the prince, can I?" Ning Fu said, "Since I have already saved the prince, I can't abandon him again and watch him die."

Zong Si smiled and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

That day, Ningfu brought some dry food with her, and she has been eating this dry food for the past few days. The food is hard to swallow, and she would not eat it unless she had no choice.

"There are only some dry food. I wonder if the prince can accept it." Ning Fu said.

Zong Si nodded, but the wound didn't hurt at first, but after a few days, it hurt so much that he couldn't even lift his hand.

Seeing how reluctant he was, Nymph handed the dry food to his lips.

Zong Si's eyes flickered, and then he gently put the dry food into his mouth.

He ate whatever Nymph fed him, without any complaints.

In fact, he would think most things were delicious no matter what she fed him, because his mood was different. He liked how attentive Nymph was to him.

"I'm sorry, Prince." He just woke up. Nyingfu fed him half a cake and then stopped feeding him.

"When we were in the north, if the war was urgent, there was nothing better to eat than these dry rations," Zong Si said.

Ning Fu hesitated and asked, "Will Prince Xuan's Mansion come to help you in your current situation?"

Zong Si's expression changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he did not hide the truth from her and said calmly, "My elder brother does not want me to return alive. As for my father, he wants to protect the palace, so he will cooperate with His Majesty. Many of those who came to kill me came from the palace."

He paused for a moment and said self-deprecatingly, "The people in the palace know me better. If I hadn't let my guard down, I wouldn't have been hurt to this extent."

The first group of secret guards who came to kill him were Zong Ting's confidants, so his whereabouts were exposed.

No wonder, in the previous life, the relationship between Zong Si and Zong Ting had always been indescribably weird. Zong Ting seemed to be somewhat in awe and flattering of him, but Zong Si seldom took him seriously.

Even when facing King Xuan, Zong Si was very cold.

It turns out that this is the reason.

Ning Fu said softly: "The prince must be feeling very uncomfortable."

"At the moment, it's okay." Zong Si said.

What Ning Fu didn't know was that the moment she saw Zong Si, he was already on the verge of turning evil.

Fortunately, she showed up.

"Prince, please drink the medicine." Ning Fu said again.

But Nymph has to feed it herself.

After Zong Si woke up, the two of them stayed in the cave, and the scene was completely different. He looked at her from time to time, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

Ningfu sometimes thought about leaving, and his mother would be anxious, since his life was no longer in danger. But every time he wanted to leave, his injuries would become more serious.

She also suspected that he did it on purpose, but the injury was too real to be healed easily.

"Prince, are you kidding me?" Ning Fu asked with a somewhat skeptical attitude as she sat beside him.

Zong Si lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "It is true that the wound has not yet healed, but if the fourth lady has anything to do, please leave first. My people should be here in a few days. If there is an emergency... I have recovered a lot now and can handle it."

He was not a man who would show weakness and he would never show his weakness in front of outsiders. Ning Fu did not mention the matter of leaving again.

Mother must have discovered that she was no longer at home, and Dongzhu did not dare to hide it from her. However, in such an urgent matter, no matter how anxious her mother was, she would not dare to make it public and could only secretly send someone to look for her.

In this case, it would be better to wait until Zong Si gets better before going back. It would not be easy to get out if you go back halfway.

This lasted for another two days.

When Ning Fu woke up that day, Zong Si was nowhere to be seen.

She couldn't help feeling a little panicked, and hurried out of the cave, looking around nearby, but still couldn't find any trace of him.

Just when Ning Fu was wondering whether he left without saying goodbye, Zong Si walked up from the foot of the mountain.

Seeing her anxious face, he paused, then with a smile in his eyes, he walked quickly towards her.

"Even if the prince has something to say, he should have told me." Ning Fu said angrily.

She had done her best for him, and she never liked leaving without saying goodbye. What's more, she was afraid that he might have an accident.

"It's my fault. Next time, I will definitely let you know first." Zong Si looked at her face and admitted his mistake.

Nymph did not reply and turned back to the cave.

"I went to the City God Temple," Zong Si explained, "to check if Sun Zheng's body was still there."

Nymph then said: "But it's still there"

"It has disappeared without a trace." Zong Si said.

Ning Fu naturally still had some doubts in her heart. For example, after Sun Zheng's face was destroyed, how could no one suspect anything? But seeing his indifferent attitude, she knew that Zong Si probably had his own arrangements.

"When will the prince's people come to pick him up?" Ning Fu asked.

Zong Si glanced at her and said, "I don't know either."

Ning Fu is not only worried about her mother, she is also worried about Lu Xingzhi. He should have arrived in Dazhou by now, and maybe he has written a letter to her. She has not replied yet, and she wonders what he is thinking now.

"Follow me." Zong Si said suddenly with a flash of his eyes.

Ning Fu was startled, and then was picked up by Zong Si and placed behind him. Immediately afterwards, several people in black rushed out.

She didn't care. His resistance was decisive and neat, and it was obvious that his injuries were much better.

Zong Si quickly dealt with several people.

Before Ningfu could say anything, Zong Si flew her to the foot of the mountain and threw her on a horse that was left there by someone unknown. He also got on the horse, which might have been left there by the men in black, and galloped away.

She was just thankful in her heart that she had never returned to Ning's house, and that she was wearing men's clothes so no one would recognize her.

Zong Si was behind her, almost holding her in his arms while riding.

"Doesn't His Majesty know that you are not dead?" Nymph couldn't help but ask.

"These are not Emperor Jingwen's men, but bandits from Dazhou. They saw the jade pendant you were wearing and wanted to kill you for your wealth." Zong Si said.

I see.

Nymph said: "Where are you taking me, my Lord?"

"It's not safe for you to go back home directly now. When we get to Dazhou, I'll find someone to send you back." Zong Si said.

Seeing that they were going to Dazhou, Ning Fu felt relieved and it was a good opportunity for her to go and see Lu Xingzhi.
