Nan Sheng's expression froze, and she quickly denied it: "How could that be?"
"This is the royal palace of the Southern Frontier Kingdom. How can he come and go as he pleases?"
"Moreover, a month ago, the Holy Maiden was only accompanied by one guard. Could it be that General Lu also came along?"
Su Yujiao frowned. Lu Ziqian had been missing for a long time, and no one knew where he was. So how could he suddenly appear in the palace of the Southern Frontier Kingdom?
She must be hallucinating.
How did my injury heal?
"How could it not leave scars?"
"How did you heal such a severe injury?"
"Could it be that there is a miracle doctor?"
Even the most skilled doctor can't avoid leaving scars.
Clearly, she wasn't so easily fooled; this was obviously illogical and even seemed somewhat bizarre.
However, she is also very accepting of strange things, after all, her transmigration into a book is itself an unscientific and bizarre thing.
"Does the Holy Maiden still remember the Corrupting Gu?"
She remembered that she had once saved Lu Ziqian's legs.
"This kind of Gu can gnaw on rotten flesh and scars, and regenerate flesh and blood."
"As for your injury, it was not healed by a divine physician, but by the Southern Frontier Kingdom's national treasure, the Soul-Returning Gu."
"This Gu is harmless and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. There is only one in the whole world."
"You are the goddess of the Southern Frontier Kingdom, so my father will naturally not be stingy with your gifts."
"Really?" Su Yujiao was still skeptical.
"Of course it's true. If the Holy Maiden doesn't believe it, she can ask her guards."
"Zhang Xin?"
"By the way, where's Zhang Xin? Has he gone back yet?"
Nan Sheng shook her head: "He is still waiting for you to wake up in the palace."
"I have already sent others to the Great Ming Kingdom to deliver the message."
"Um."
Su Yujiao nodded: "Call him here, I want to see him."
"good."
Zhang Xin came in quickly and was very excited to see that she was awake.
This tough and strong man had tears in his eyes.
Zhang Xin knelt before her and said excitedly, "This humble servant failed in his duty of protection. Please punish me, Your Highness."
"Get up, it's all in the past."
Zhang Xin knelt on the ground and refused to get up. He felt very guilty. If he had protected the county princess, this would not have happened.
"I'm asking you, what happened after I was injured and fell unconscious?"
"Is Chen Yunniang really dead?"
"How was I brought back to life?"
The more details you provide, the better.
Hearing her question, Zhang Xin's eyes reddened even more, his body trembled slightly, and his hands, hidden under his sleeves, clenched tightly as he tried to suppress his grief.
But what he said was exactly the same as what Nan Sheng said.
Su Yujiao could only believe that perhaps there really was a resurrection gu in this world that could bring people back to life!
This is, after all, a world within a book; nothing is impossible.
Let's just say she's lucky to be alive!
"Let's go, we've been delayed for so long, it's time to go back."
Suddenly, she felt an overwhelming urge to go home.
She misses her children and she misses home!
And Lu Ziqian, shouldn't we have some news by now?
I've been so busy dealing with the crisis of national subjugation lately that I haven't had much time to pay attention to Lu Ziqian.
Now that everything has settled down, if there's still no news of him...
She probably can't wait any longer!
Nan Sheng watched the two figures leave and sighed regretfully.
I hope she never finds out the truth.
On the way back, Zhang Xin was not as excited as when he first arrived. He seemed very downcast and even had a strange sadness.
Su Yujiao gave him a strange look. What was wrong with this guy?
Even though it was so dangerous when he arrived, he was still excitedly looking around.
Now that all the crises are over, shouldn't he be excited?
Why does he seem so preoccupied?
They've been flying for two hours, and he's still staring out the window in a daze?
"Zhang Xin, are you hiding something from me?"
Zhang Xin's back stiffened, and he immediately replied, "No, this humble servant would not dare to conceal the truth from the county princess."
"But something happened to your family?"
"You seem to have something on your mind."
Su Yujiao wondered if bad news had come from the capital about the Zhang family.
He remembered that Zhang Xin had a younger brother who was also on the city wall defending against the Gu people's attack. Could it be that something happened to his brother?
"Did something happen to your brother?"
Zhang Xin was taken aback, then shook his head: "No."
"So what's wrong with you?"
"This humble servant...this humble servant is somewhat afraid of His Majesty and the Crown Prince's punishment. This humble servant failed to protect the County Princess well, causing you to suffer such serious injuries, almost..."
Su Yujiao smiled nonchalantly and even comforted him, "This is not your fault. I will explain it to the Emperor."
“You weren’t with me at the time, so I sent you to Laifu Pawnshop to find the male Gu. It wasn’t that you failed to protect him properly.”
"And no one expected Chen Yunniang to suddenly commit suicide."
"This is not your fault; if anyone is to blame, it is Chen Yunniang."
"Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore, it's bad luck."
"Don't worry, I will explain everything to His Majesty."
Zhang Xin's eyes reddened again as he listened to Su Yujiao's words. Afraid that Su Yujiao would notice something was amiss, he kept staring out the window and softly hummed in agreement.
"Zhang Xin, I have a question for you."
"Was Lu Ziqian here while I was unconscious?"
She still felt that she saw Lu Ziqian before she lost consciousness; it was too real, not like a hallucination.
Zhang Xin's back stiffened again, and his heart suddenly pounded: "No, wasn't General Lu on business? How could he be in the Southern Frontier Kingdom's palace?"
"Oh, I think I saw him before I passed out, but it was probably just a hallucination."
