Lin Yuxin stood up, but because she had been squatting for too long, she felt dizzy and almost fell over. Luckily, she reacted quickly and grabbed the bookshelf in front of her.
However, Lin Yuxin did not realize that because she stumbled, her foot kicked the tip of the calligraphy brush, causing the tip to bend inwards.
"Princess, be careful!"
Seeing that the princess almost fell, Xueying wanted to go forward to help her, but as soon as he took a step, his foot slipped and he fell down.
After Lin Yuxin's eyesight recovered, she didn't see Xueying's figure, but she saw a hole in front of the bookshelf.
Lin Yuxin blinked. She had been searching for a long time but couldn't find it. Had it come out on its own?
Before long, Xueying climbed up, her clothes disheveled, looking as if she had been beaten.
"Snow Shadow? What's this?"
Lin Yuxin pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, and asked.
"Princess, we couldn't see down there. We didn't notice when we fell!"
Xueying reported the truth without the slightest embarrassment.
Lin Yuxin pouted; talking to an ice cube was just so boring.
"Alright, now that we've found this secret passage, it wouldn't be right not to look for it! Let's go!"
Lin Yuxin was about to go downstairs when Xueying stopped her.
"Princess, let's wait for Wang Yu and the others to arrive before going in together! In case anything happens, there's strength in numbers!"
Xueying said sincerely.
"Okay! Then let's wait!"
Lin Yuxin knew that Xueying was doing this for her own good. She didn't know what the situation would be like if they went down there. If it was too dangerous, having one more person would mean one more person protecting her.
She didn't necessarily need Wang Yu and the others' protection; she had her own space, so she could hide there if there was any danger. But since they were worried, why not wait?
Wang Yu had been gone for a long time, and Lin Yuxin was frowning as she waited. Had something happened to him?
Lin Yuxin was about to ask Xueying to go check when she saw Wang Yu return with several people, one of whom was supporting another.
“Princess, this man was found in the prison. Before he lost consciousness, I questioned him, and he said he was Liu Shuijin, the magistrate of Quyan County.”
Wang Yu reported everything to Lin Yuxin.
"The magistrate of Quyan County? How did he end up in prison? And with such severe injuries?"
Lin Yuxin frowned and asked, then looked at the county magistrate. He was covered in blood and unconscious, clearly suffering from severe injuries.
“Princess, when I found him, he was lying motionless in the corner. If I hadn’t checked his breathing and found he was still breathing, I would have thought he was dead. I gave him a life-saving pill that you gave me before, otherwise he would have been dead.”
Wang Yu also agreed, saying the injury was too severe.
"Put him on the ground, let me see him!"
Lin Yuxin frowned and told Wang Yu to put the person down.
Wang Yu did as instructed, and he and his men carefully put the person down.
Lin Yuxin squatted down, took his pulse, and then examined his injuries.
"He was seriously injured, his meridians were damaged, and he was also poisoned by a Gu poison!"
After reading it, Lin Yuxin shook her head. The county magistrate's condition was not good. If Wang Yu hadn't given him a heart-protecting pill beforehand, he would probably be dead already.
"Princess, is there any way to cure him? We've only found this one important person so far. If he dies, won't the trail go cold again?"
Wang Yu said somewhat anxiously.
“It can be cured, but so far, we can only save his life. I can’t cure the rest. He needs surgery and to get rid of the poison. These are not simple things, and it’s impossible to do them in the current environment.”
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes and voiced her concerns.
"My priority is to save his life; treatment can only begin once we find a safe place."
As Lin Yuxin spoke, she took out silver needles and pierced Liu Shuijin's body.
After being pricked with a dozen or so needles, Liu Shuijin finally woke up. Lin Yuxin put away the silver needles and then fed him a pill to help heal his injuries and temporarily stabilize the Gu poison in his body.
As Liu Shuijin watched the beautiful girl bustling around in front of him, he thought he was dead.
"Thank you, fairy. I am already dead, so it is my good fortune to be able to see you again!"
Liu Shuijin said weakly.
"How dare you! This is our Princess Pingning, how dare you speak such nonsense?"
Wang Yu was furious when he heard Liu Shuijin's outrageous words. How dare he flirt with the princess? If the prince found out, he would be consumed by jealousy. So he quickly rebuked him.
But that rebuke brought Liu Shuijin back to reality. He wasn't dead? He was still alive, but living was worse than death! He would still become that inhuman, ghostly figure.
Thinking of this, Liu Shuijin became agitated again, and began to have difficulty breathing.
Seeing this, Lin Yuxin pressed on his chest, and Liu Shuijin felt much more relaxed in his chest. Then he heard a female voice.
"You can't get emotional right now. Your injuries haven't healed yet, and the poison hasn't been neutralized. You should rest and recuperate."
Lin Yuxin said coldly that she disliked disobedient patients the most.
Liu Shuijin looked at Lin Yuxin before realizing what was happening and said reasonably:
"Thank you so much for saving me, young lady! I will never forget your kindness, but I know my body is in such poor condition that I'm afraid I won't have the chance to repay you."
"How dare you! This is our princess! You must not be so disrespectful!"
Wang Yu roared again.
Wang Yu's repeated calls made Lin Yuxin look at him. Something was wrong with this kid! Was he afraid that Liu Shuijin hadn't heard him, so he spoke so loudly and kept reminding him?
