"Yes." Since Yi Zexuan had already spoken so forcefully, the second steward couldn't refuse anymore. After all, if he really got impatient, it wouldn't be a small matter.

So the second steward led Yi Zexuan to that person's room.

This man was utterly dejected; the stubble on his face made him look ten years older.

The man looked up at Yi Zexuan and chuckled, "You look somewhat familiar."

“I was present when you were sentenced that day.”

The man snorted again and said, "The person who saved me has already gotten everything out of me, so what are you doing here?"

"I have come to save you."

Upon hearing this, the man looked at his legs and asked, "What can you use to save me?"

"Being seen by so many people, being beaten so badly, and being thrown on the street—if we hadn't found you and brought you back, who knows how badly you would have been tortured by the Empress's people. You have no dignity left as a man."

The man gritted his teeth: "Why bring this up? I hate them, but what can I do?"

"With my help, are you still afraid that you can't solve the problem?"

"So how do you plan to help me?"

"Of course I will help you regain your dignity and avenge yourself. As for how I will help?"

At this point, the two began to whisper among themselves and start plotting their future plans.

Are you sure this will work?

"I'm about 80% sure."

"Then how will I get in?"

"I will arrange for you to enter when the time comes."

The man nodded: "So you mean you'll heal my leg as soon as possible, right?"

"The biggest blow to her is that you appear in front of her unharmed. I hope you can adjust your mindset as soon as possible to face the biggest enemy in your life."

"Of course, I will make her suffer terribly and regret what I did to her."

"Very well, since you have such great confidence, then I will feel at ease helping you accomplish this matter."

After the two reached an agreement, Yi Zexuan got up and went back.

"How is the princess?"

"It's still the same as before, nothing has changed."

Yi Zexuan bypassed the imperial physician and walked to the bedside to look at Su Lixia.

Why is her face so pale?

"That's normal. It won't gradually get better after the poison is neutralized."

"Can't we use ginseng soup or something to improve our complexion?"

The imperial physician shook his head: "If we use ginseng soup to administer the IV, it will actually hinder the spread of the poison. We must not try it lightly."

"But wouldn't that make me grow thinner and thinner?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, we have a way to solve this."

"Okay, if there's a way, then it's fine. We must ensure the princess's safety."

"That's the princess of nature; if anything happens to her, we can't escape responsibility."

The Lin family steward arrived at the frontier quickly, but the frontier was so vast that it was difficult to find, so the steward went to the inn.

Early the next morning…

The housekeeper got up early and was having breakfast downstairs.

The owner at the entrance regularly distributes food to displaced people.

Upon seeing this, the butler shook his head helplessly, then got up and gave his steamed bun to a child behind him.

The child, holding the steamed bun, bowed gratefully to him.

The butler waved and smiled at him, watching the child leave.

Then I chatted with the owner: "Do you distribute food here every day?"

"Yes, there are several acres of land behind us, all used for growing things. Once the produce is made, it is distributed to them. The food you eat is all bought from the city. There's no other way; that's just how things are. There's constant warfare on the border, while life in the city is very affluent. I'm able to open a shop here because of my family's wealth in the city."

"You are a good person."

"I'm just an ordinary person, I just can't bear to see people suffer."

The steward nodded: "When a dynasty prospers, the people suffer; when a dynasty falls, the people suffer. That's all there is to it."

The boss sighed, "Who can argue with that?"

After the two finished speaking, the butler sat back down, and the boss personally brought him a steamed bun: "If you're going to help others, you have to eat first."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a smile, and then the boss left.

"Boss! Two steamed buns, a side dish, and a bowl of congee."

"good."

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind, and the butler immediately looked up.

What a coincidence! I was in the same inn as Lin Ziwen.

"Young Master!" the steward cried out, almost in tears.

Hearing the sound, Lin Ziwen turned around and looked over.

What are you doing here?

Lin Ziwen had just sat down when his food was served.

After the waiter left, the steward explained, "The prince brought the princess to our residence. It seems that the princess is seriously injured. The prince ordered me to come and find the young master to return. Alright, let's discuss a plan together."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ziwen frowned: "Why were you seriously injured? Wasn't this at the hunting grounds?"

"As for the specific reasons, young master, you should go back and discuss them with the prince."

"Then let's quickly pack our things and set off this afternoon."

"yes."

After speaking, Lin Ziwen lost his appetite and could no longer eat.

Then he went back to pack his things, and after hurriedly coming down, he said to the housekeeper, "There's no time to lose, let's go back now."

"yes."

Then the two rode away on horseback.

"Boss, it seems that young master hasn't paid his bill yet." The two people stood at the door watching their backs.

Dad sighed and said, "Business is really tough these days. Oh well, he's already given so much in tips."

Lin Ziwen and his companion rode at full speed and returned to their residence by the afternoon.

When Uncle Li saw Lin Ziwen, he was overjoyed: "Young Master, you've returned so quickly. The Prince is over here. Please come with me."

"Your Highness, look, the young master has returned."

"Waiting for you for one day felt like waiting for ten or fifteen days. Fortunately, your housekeeper is on good terms with you and found you so quickly."

"Never mind all that, tell me what happened."

Yi Zexuan showed Lin Ziwen the letter that Yuan Ruo had handed back.

"How could she be so vicious?" Lin Ziwen said through gritted teeth.

"How is the princess now?"

"The imperial physicians are powerless because this poison is too insidious. I'm waiting for you to return so that you can take me to that person. Perhaps he has a way to save her."

Lin Ziwen shook his head and said, "After he said he would never leave the mountain again, he never showed up again. Although I know where he lives, it is probably impossible to ask him to treat the princess."

"That's why I asked you to take me there. If he can't do it either, the princess will probably..." Yi Zexuan didn't dare to continue.

"In short, we must seize this last straw and give it a try for the princess."
