"It's alright. Take good care of your princess. Once the medicine is applied, we'll set off."

"Yes," Xiaolian replied obediently.

Yi Zexuan got off the carriage without saying a word, while Lin Ziwen waited outside.

“It’s rare to see you like this in so many years,” Lin Ziwen asked as he walked with him.

"I'm afraid that she'll delay everyone's progress, especially since we're not far from the capital."

Lin Ziwen raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay, what you said makes sense."

Yi Zexuan suddenly stopped, turned his head and chuckled, then asked in return, "Haven't you not shown your skills for many years? How could you use them so easily?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ziwen was speechless. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "She is a princess. If I hide her from the emperor when she is in danger, wouldn't I be deceiving the emperor?"

"Hmph, you do have a point."

Lin Ziwen shrugged: "I have a point."

At this moment, Su Lixia was lying there, groaning and moaning, which sounded very pitiful. Listening to her pain, one could imagine how badly she had been injured.

Xiao Lian looked distressed and aggrieved. She picked up the medicine and prepared to lift Su Lixia's skirt, asking, "Princess, you're in so much pain, you must be seriously injured."

"Or so be it, show me quickly."

"Yes." After saying that, Xiaolian put the things aside and lifted her skirt to look for the wound.

A moment later, her little face furrowed in confusion, and she asked, "Is the princess sure this is where the injury is?"

Su Lixia hummed in agreement and touched the spot that hurt the most.

Xiao Lian looked over and saw that there was indeed an injury. There was a small bruise and a scrape. It probably hurt so much because it hit the bone.

Xiao Lian carefully applied the medicine and then asked, "Princess, does it hurt inside your flesh? I hope you didn't break a bone."

Upon hearing this, Su Lixia shook her head and said, "No, it's just this one spot that hurts the most."

Xiao Lian's lips twitched; she seemed to have just been boasting to others that her princess wasn't so spoiled.

After applying the medicine, Xiaolian informed Yi Zexuan, and then the team set off at a faster pace.

"These ancient roads are really bad, they're so bumpy, I feel awful." Su Lixia covered her head, indicating that she was carsick.

"You must be tired from the journey, Princess. Please bear with us a little longer, we'll reach the inn soon and you can rest." Xiao Lian was still worried about Su Lixia, who looked exhausted.

Su Lixia stretched and yawned, shaking her head, and said, "It's okay, it's fine. Apart from the occasional bumps, everything else is very comfortable." After saying that, Su Lixia propped her head up and half-lay down.

He then asked, "Is there any food prepared in the carriage, like melon seeds or peanuts? You can pass the time by eating melon seeds, can't you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolian shook her head and said, "There really aren't any. It's not sunflower seed season right now, and last year's are long gone."

Su Lixia sighed and said, "Okay, so it's just sunflower seeds. What else is there?"

"These are all the princess's favorite snacks. There are five food boxes under here, all filled with snacks." Xiao Lian patted the dark compartment under her seat.

Su Lixia's eyes lit up, and she sat up in surprise, exclaiming, "Then quickly take them out and let me see what they are!"

"Okay." After saying that, he opened the dark compartment and took out two food boxes.

"There's a lot of stuff and not enough space, why don't you look at these first?"

Su Lixia smiled and rubbed her hands together, nodded and hummed in agreement, then watched as Xiao Lian took out each dessert one by one.

"Little Lian, you're like a mind reader to me, you know everything." After saying that, Su Lixia patted her shoulder with a look of certainty.
