The nanny was dragged away by the palace maid, and Li Xue continued to eat.

Bei Yueli glanced at the person opposite her and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, was that nanny treated you badly in the past? Since you don't like that nanny, it's okay to stay away from her."

Li Xue hummed, "She was sent by the Queen to keep an eye on me, telling me the rules all the time, and turning me into a puppet. I really don't like her."

"Just don't let her serve you from now on. This dish has a name. It's different from the ones made in the palace. This one is delicious."

"Haha, this is called boiled fish."

"I see."

After finishing the meal, Li Xue rolled up her sleeves and started to clean up. Her movements were very quick and efficient. It was obvious that she was used to doing housework, not like a precious princess.

After finishing the cleaning, Li Xue washed up and got on the carriage. She lay down on the couch and prepared to rest. Then she heard a slight knocking sound. She pulled aside the curtain and saw Bei Yueli under the carriage.

"Yueli, now that you're here, why don't you come up and warm yourself up."

"No, sister-in-law, I came here to give you a storybook. You can hide it and read it during the day. Our trip to the Northern Wilderness will take a month, so we have to find ways to kill time on the road."

Li Xue took the books one by one. The words on them could not be seen clearly in the darkness, so she put them all away and read them slowly tomorrow morning.

Bei Yueli whispered, "Sister-in-law, please put it away. I'll go back and rest first. It's late at night, so you should also go to bed early."

"Okay, thank you Yueli."

"It's okay, we're a family, you're welcome."

After a night of sleep until dawn, after having a simple meal of porridge, Li Xue leaned softly on the couch, not feeling very well. Xiao Zhu looked at her pale face and trembling hands.

He said worriedly, "Princess, if you are not feeling well, you should ask a doctor to come and see you."

"No, that's not necessary. We can't waste any more time on the road because of me. We have to get to the Northern Wasteland as soon as possible."

Li Xue lowered her eyes to hide the expression in them. If she went to see a doctor, what would she say if the fact that she was poisoned was exposed? She didn't want to see those sympathetic eyes.

It would be great, great to just get through the rest of the year like this.

"Xiao Zhu, go get the notebook. I'll take a look at it and distract myself. I won't feel so bad anymore."

"Yes, Princess."

Li Xue randomly picked up a book written by a eunuch and began to read it slowly. After seeing the content clearly, her face turned terribly red.

This, this is too... How could it be possible for two men!

Xiao Zhu looked at her curiously: "Princess, what's wrong with that book? If it's not right, I'll get you another book."

Li Xue shook her head: "It's okay, I'll just take a look."

The more I watched, the more excited I became.

He didn't even know when Jiang Ling got on the carriage. It was not until he saw someone beside him and smelled the faint woody fragrance that he subconsciously looked up.

When she met the man's gentle eyes, her heart suddenly panicked, like a child who had done something wrong. She subconsciously hid the book behind her and sat up, avoiding looking at him.

"Major General, why are you getting on the carriage?"

"Well, I was bringing some berries to the princess. I knocked on the door but no one answered, so I came in on my own. I hope the princess will forgive me if I have offended you."

Li Xue blushed and felt a little guilty: "Yes, really, I'm sorry I didn't hear it."

Jiang Ling said casually: "Nothing, Princess, what are you looking at so fascinatedly? I wonder if I can take a look."

Hearing this, I subconsciously refused: "No, you can't watch it."

"...Well, how about Princess try these berries? I won't bother you any more and will go down first."

Li Xue realized that her tone was not good just now, and she was a little at a loss. She reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "That's not it, I don't mean anything else, it's just that this book is not suitable for men to read."

Jiang Ling glanced at the person who was grabbing her sleeve, and the panic on her face could not be concealed. She thought of her younger sister at home, who also liked to read those messy storybooks.

She understood and said softly, "I'm not angry, Princess, don't mind. It's normal for a little girl to like watching this. I like it too."

"Princess, please take your time and let go of my sleeves."

Li Xue raised her head and looked at him: "Aren't you angry?"

"No, why should I be angry? My third brother also reads this, but I just don't read it much."

“… Yeah, I understand.”

I don't know why I felt a little depressed. I slowly let go of my hand and looked at the man's back as he turned and left. Li Xue covered her face with her hands and felt a little embarrassed. Why was she so fascinated just now?

He didn't even notice that someone was getting on the carriage. He was really careless.

After this incident, Li Xue would pay attention when she looked around, in case someone came knocking on the carriage door and she couldn't hear anything.

The days passed slowly, and three days later, Li Xue had her first attack of the poison. She felt a tearing pain, as if someone was using a knife to stir the flesh and blood in her body bit by bit.

Sweaty from the pain, he curled up on the couch, gritting his teeth and enduring it. When the pain eased a little, he said weakly, "Xiao Zhu, don't let... anyone near the carriage."

"I don't want anyone, including the Major General. If Yue Li comes, just say I fell asleep."

Xiao Zhu looked at the person in agony and said worriedly, "Yes, but it's too painful for you, Princess. How about I go find the nanny to get some antidote to relieve the pain?"

Li Xue shook her head: "No, no, she won't give it to you. Just bear with it. The poison only attacks twice a month. I... can bear it."

"Don't tell them, you heard me."

"Yes, Princess."

Jiang Ling had been here once. Seeing that Bei Yueli couldn't get into the carriage, he raised his eyebrows and his eyes deepened. In the end, he didn't say anything and continued to lead the team on the road.

At noon, after the cook prepared the meal, he had someone bring it over, but in the end he brought it out intact.

Xiao Zhu sighed, and then he noticed a shadow in front of him. He raised his head to look at the person who came, and said in panic, "Young, Young General!"

"Princess, have you not eaten a single bite yet?"

"Yes, it may be that she is not used to the local climate, so she can't eat anything. She will be fine after two days of adjustment. Young General, don't worry. The princess has never left the courtyard since she was a child."

"It's normal to feel a little uncomfortable with the bumpy ride."

Jiang Ling looked at the guilty man and said casually, "Really? If the princess is unwell, please let me know. There is a doctor in the team."

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Zhu and the others left, dealt with the untouched food, and then returned to the carriage and told Li Xue everything: "Princess, the young general really cares about you."

"Tell this servant that if you feel unwell, he will ask a doctor to come and take a look. Why don't you let the doctor take a look? He can even prescribe some medicine to relieve the pain."

“…No, those are useless to me.”
