The next morning, Su Muxi felt nauseous.
After hastily drinking two mouthfuls of porridge, he put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Your Highness, is this all you're eating?"
Xie Xuan asked with concern.
Su Muxi nodded. "Okay, you guys eat. I'll get on the carriage first."
Liang Juan's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly picked up another piece of food for Qiao Ziming.
"Your Highness, please try this."
As Qiao Ziming watched Su Muxi's departing figure, he picked up the food that Liang Juan had put on his plate and felt that breakfast was especially delicious today.
Xie Xuan, who knew exactly what had happened, couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Before setting off, Xie Xuan walked to Su Muxi's carriage and handed two oil paper packages to the carriage window.
"Your Highness, I have had some candied fruit and fruit bought. If you feel unwell on the journey, please have some."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi quickly lifted the carriage curtain and took the paper package.
"Thank you very much, young master!"
Xie Xuan looked at Su Muxi in the carriage, smiled slightly, and then turned and left.
He didn't say much, and was very tactful.
Bai Zhi opened the oil paper package and couldn't help but praise, "Young Master Xie is so thoughtful. I didn't even think of buying some candied fruit and sour fruit for the Princess."
"Come, Your Highness, have some fruit first. They've all been washed!"
Su Muxi picked up a bright red fruit, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She was not a heartless person.
She naturally knew Xie Xuan's true feelings for her.
If she hadn't met Ye Zeyu, she might have accepted Xie Xuan.
But now, not only is she not giving Xie Xuan any chance, she's also taking advantage of him…
Thinking this way, Su Muxi felt increasingly uneasy.
I only hope that Xie Xuan can see the good in other women and find the one who truly loves him.
After traveling for three days, a torrential downpour suddenly began. Although it was not yet noon, the sky was frighteningly dark.
"Your Highness, the rain is too heavy. Continuing on might be dangerous. We passed through a village earlier. Why don't we turn back and stay there for a while until the rain stops?"
McQueen was shouting loudly from outside the car.
Su Muxi listened to the sound of the rain pouring down and looked at the mountain path ahead.
Although she had never seen a landslide, she had heard of them.
Having followed Ye Ziyu for many years, Mai Kun has certainly seen more things than she has.
Therefore, she trusted McQueen's judgment.
"Okay, let's do as you say and go back to the village we passed by earlier."
Shenjing Village is small, with only a dozen or so households.
Su Muxi and her group of more than twenty people were clearly not enough to accommodate everyone.
Mai Kun and his men were all from the Xuanwu Army. Marching and fighting, and living in the open were commonplace for them, so they didn't care whether they had a place to stay. They had only one purpose: to protect Su Muxi's safety.
Even though both sides' guards chose to set up tents or live in woodsheds outside, only three rooms were left vacant.
Su Muxi and Bai Zhi were in the same room.
Xie Xuan Yijian.
There was one room left, which was reserved for Qiao Ziming.
Seeing this, Awang said, "Your Highness, I'll make do in the carriage. Let Juan'er stay in the room to serve you."
Actually, Ah Wang didn't mean anything by it; he just felt that it was a bit cramped for three people to share a room.
Besides, it's not very convenient for two men and one woman to share a room.
Although in wealthy families, it was common for maids to sleep on the floor under the bed to serve the young master.
But Qiao Ziming couldn't help but frown.
He wanted to use Liang Juan to make Su Muxi jealous, so that Su Muxi would realize his feelings, but he also didn't want Su Muxi to misunderstand.
Just as he was about to have Liang Juan stay in the carriage and have Awang stay to serve her,
But then Liang Juan said timidly, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, how about I and Miss Baizhi serve you together?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ziming felt that Liang Juan was truly a kind and understanding girl.
But Su Muxi refused without hesitation.
"This princess doesn't need outsiders to serve her. You'd better serve your master well!"
"Bai Zhi, let's go inside."
Su Muxi was just annoyed because the heavy rain had delayed her trip, but Qiao Ziming saw it as jealousy.
Liang Juan stood in the rain, looking both pitiful and helpless.
Turning to look at Qiao Ziming, she revealed a bitter smile, "Your Highness, I am clumsy and inept, so please let Brother Awang serve you."
To earn money for my father's leg treatment, I even lived in a cowshed. Compared to the cowshed, the young master's carriage is quite nice.
So this servant is fine.
"It's raining heavily outside, Your Highness, you should come inside quickly, lest you catch a cold."
Liang Juan managed to extract a lot of information from Awang, including the relationship between Qiao Ziming and Su Muxi, and the fact that Qiao Ziming had a limp.
Then she recalled the questions Qiao Ziming asked her when they first met.
Liang Juan knew that Qiao Ziming bought her because she had taken care of her lame father "without complaint" and that this had touched him deeply.
Sure enough, Qiao Ziming's face showed emotion when he heard what she said.
"Let Awang stay in the carriage, you stay in the house and serve me!"
"…yes."
Perhaps due to the heavy rain and high humidity, Qiao Ziming felt a slight pain in his legs.
After entering the room, she lay down directly on the tatami mat and had Liang Juan massage her legs.
Seeing Liang Juan completely soaked but earnestly massaging his legs, a rare tenderness appeared in Qiao Ziming's eyes.
Actually, besides Su Muxi, there are other people who are genuinely good to her.
"Juan'er, go change your clothes first, don't catch a cold."
Upon hearing this, Liang Juan's cheeks instantly flushed red. She stood there, fidgeting, but didn't move.
Qiao Ziming hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, I will take responsibility for you."
Since he already has one Can'er, it won't make a difference if he has another Liang Juan.
Liang Juan was shocked that Qiao Ziming would say such a thing. Her eyes immediately reddened, and large tears fell from her eyes. She choked out "Your Highness" and knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness is the best man I have ever met in this world. I have had a hard life since I was a child. It is my good fortune to be able to serve Your Highness. I never expected to be favored by Your Highness. I don't know what to say... I am so happy!"
As she spoke, Liang Juan's tears flowed even more fiercely, and she cried so hard she could barely breathe.
But his eyes revealed undisguised ecstasy.
This demeanor, however, successfully pleased Qiao Ziming.
"Get up. Follow me, and good fortune is yet to come."
Women who receive his favor should be grateful in this way.
He had been patient enough with Su Muxi and had been humble enough, but Su Muxi remained aloof and refused to give him any chance.
Not only that, Su Muxi actually consummated her marriage with Ye Zeyu!
Thinking of the red marks on Su Muxi's neck on the day he left the capital, Qiao Ziming felt a tightness in his chest and was extremely irritable!
