Seeing Ning Xi'er flee in panic, Xie Zhun unconsciously curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
Eunuch Xu stood guard outside. Ning Xi'er escaped, hesitated for a moment, then turned back to ask Eunuch Xu:
"Your Highness, have you ever lied?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Xu lied through his teeth, "Never."
Ning Xi'er was heartbroken and immediately fled.
Eunuch Xu turned around and glanced at the prince inside the tent...
The prince almost never lies, because he has no need to.
But he believed that since the princess asked the question, the prince must have said something to her.
Since the prince did this, he must have his reasons.
The purpose is simply one thing...
Looking up at the sky, Eunuch Xu felt that ever since the princess appeared, the ice in the prince's heart was slowly melting away.
The sky is much clearer now...
Ning Xi'er returned to her tent, beat her chest and stamped her feet for a moment, intending to scold the maids for not helping her back when she was drunk...
But his current anger and embarrassment only make people more aware of what happened.
"ah!"
Xie Zhun sat in the tent and heard Ning Xi'er sighing and roaring in the distance, and a smile spread across his face.
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Xu couldn't help but feel that the little lie he had just told was quite worthwhile.
It's been a long time since I've seen the prince laugh so heartily...
Ning Xi'er went crazy for a while, then finally drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, thankfully Xie Zhun didn't seize on her weakness and chase after her relentlessly...
The two got along quite well.
All traces of last night's revelry have vanished.
We need to get things done for everyone soon, otherwise everyone will be bored to death.
The food inside the tent was piled up like a mountain, and Eunuch Xu instructed Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian to guard it personally.
After the servants received their food, the house servants and guards helped to start the fire.
Ning Xi'er took out playing cards, koji balls, wine jugs, arrows, slingshots, Go pieces, etc. from her spatial storage, pretending to take them out of the carriage, for everyone to play with.
Besides cleaning the site, everyone cooked and tended the fire. In their spare time, they would gather in small groups to have fun.
It turned out to be the most relaxing time since he was exiled.
He was more relaxed and at ease than when he was in the mansion.
While Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang were helping Xie Zhun with his stomach and intestines cleansing, Ning Xi'er replenished her spiritual spring fluids inside the tent.
After finishing her work on both sides, Ning Xi'er went to a special tent, set up the equipment, disinfected the environment, and then performed dialysis on Xie Zhun.
With the continuous administration of oral medication, Xie Zhun's complexion improved day by day.
On the ninth day, Ning Xi'er untied Xie Zhun's trouser leg and saw that the skin color of his calf was the same as that of his thigh, returning to normal skin color, and she felt relieved.
When Zheng Chengguang, Zheng Ye, Eunuch Xu and others saw this, they couldn't help but weep with joy.
Because there was still a journey to be made and the news could not be easily leaked, the news that Xie Zhun's poison had been basically neutralized was kept secret from him and only a small group of people, even from the Duke of Huguo and others.
Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian massaged Xie Zhun every day, which greatly relieved the atrophy of his leg muscles.
Xie Zhun could not hide his excitement. He grasped Ning Xi'er's hand, his gratitude overflowing.
"It's not over yet! And you're already this happy?"
Everyone turned to look at Ning Xi'er.
Ning Xi'er's voice was firm and unwavering, "I will help you stand up again!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Xu and the others' eyes reddened, and they all bowed and lowered their hems to Ning Xi'er.
Xie Zhun's eyes were slightly red, but his eyes were full of light.
After a moment of celebration, everyone was preparing to have some food and drinks ready to celebrate...
Xuanfeng entered the tent to report, "Your Highness, people from the capital and Xiude have all arrived!"
Xie Zhun glanced at Ning Xi'er and instructed Xuan Feng to bring in the people Zheng Ye had sent to the capital.
As arranged by Zheng Ye, half of Xu Yan's men remained in the capital to continue their inquiries.
The rest are on the way, delivering messages.
And those returning before us are the very people who just received the news and rushed back recently.
"Speak..."
Xie Zhun spoke.
The guard reported, "We have infiltrated the Marquis's residence to investigate the truth behind the assassination attempt on the Princess by the guard named Cangshu, and at the same time, to protect the safety of the Marquis's principal wife..."
“Our subordinates acted cautiously, but we still alerted the guards of the Marquis’s residence. Fortunately, with the help of the Prime Minister’s residence, we were able to cover our tracks and find out the truth.”
"The guard named Cang Shu had a maidservant he was close to, who also served the Marquis's principal wife. She recently went missing. Investigations revealed that she disappeared just before Cang Shu left the Marquis's residence..."
"My deduction is that someone kidnapped this maid named Liuxia and is using her to blackmail Cangshu into harming the princess."
"We reported the findings to the Prime Minister's residence and asked them to be more vigilant about the people around the Marquis's principal wife."
"Currently, besides one guard and a maid, the wife of the Marquis is said to have been briefly reunited with the eldest son at the border after the Princess Consort's exile..."
"I have rushed back and am personally taking care of the First Lady's daily life and safety. My subordinates and others have handed over the reins to the Second Young Master before reporting the news."
