Ao Xue looked anxious. "The third day!"
Qin Yuan's expression changed; he hadn't expected that he had been unconscious for three days.
The four of them looked up at the sky. Half a day had passed, and there were less than two hours left until the agreed time!
Qin Yuan gazed at the distance from the camp, completely unaware of Bai Zhi approaching from behind.
The effects of slashing and drugging are the same; Qin Yuan will eventually notice something is wrong.
Ning Xi'er didn't bother to think too much. She summoned two horses from the spatial stables. Ning Xi'er and Ao Xue rode together, while Bai Zhi placed Qin Yuan sideways on the horse's back and led the reins at a brisk pace.
The four were some distance from the camp, but riding fast horses, they could see the camp in less than half an hour.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Even Eunuch Xu's voice trembled slightly.
"Mysterious Wind!"
Xie Zhun was resting with his eyes closed when he heard Eunuch Xu's joyful voice. He immediately called for Xuanfeng, who pushed him out of the tent.
Xuanfeng, of course, chose to be selectively deaf.
With a plague raging outside and the princess, who was skilled in medicine, not around, they dared not push the prince out easily after finally curing the poison.
Eunuch Xu lifted the curtain and entered, excitedly grasping Xie Zhun's hand, "Your Highness..."
Eunuch Xu could not contain his excitement.
Xie Zhun gripped the wheelchair handles, his body lurching forward uncontrollably. "Has the Princess returned?"
Grandpa Xu nodded vigorously.
Xie Zhun then asked, "How is the Princess?"
Eunuch Xu's lips curled up. "They all look fine, riding their horses with great energy!"
Eunuch Xu then praised, "The Princess Consort is truly capable! Not only the Princess Consort, but I also saw that Bai Zhi and Ao Xue were riding horses, and they are both unharmed!"
Recalling what he had just witnessed, Eunuch Xu added, "Mr. Qin Yuan seems to have been placed behind the horse; I wonder how he is doing..."
Xie Zhun couldn't contain his joy, his face showing a relieved and proud expression. "He's definitely alright."
Ning Xi'er left three days ago, still worried about affecting those who remained...
The person she's bringing back now, so openly and brazenly, must be Senior Brother Qin Yuan, whose plague has already been cured.
Xie Zhun didn't trust Qin Yuan's physical condition, but rather believed in Ning Xi'er's methods.
Xie Zhun turned around and glared at Xuan Feng, then strained with both hands, trying to rush out of the tent.
Eunuch Xu immediately came to his senses and intervened.
Eunuch Xu said with a smile, "Your Highness, now that the Princess Consort has returned, you can rest assured!"
"We'll go and bring the princess back for you!"
After saying that, he winked at Xuanfeng, then slipped away and ran off.
In terms of status, Xie Zhun is superior...
However, when it comes to having a say, the four guards, including Xuanfeng, still listen to Eunuch Xu.
Not to mention that they were trained by Eunuch Xu, the prince is not fully recovered yet, what if he acts impulsively...
Although I've never done this before, it's inevitable that I'll act irrationally now, for the sake of the princess...
They naturally listened to Eunuch Xu; after all, Eunuch Xu was definitely doing it for the Prince's good...
Even if the prince wanted to punish them afterward, Eunuch Xu could protect them from harm.
Xie Zhun was anxious. Even though he heard what Eunuch Xu said, he was still uneasy until he saw it with his own eyes.
After all, that was a plague...
As they approached the encampment, Ning Xi'er and the others dismounted.
Zheng Ye had been waiting nearby, looking very excited.
Seeing that Ning Xi'er did not stop him, he rushed over, nodded to Ning Xi'er as a greeting, and immediately helped Bai Zhi carry Qin Yuan off the horse.
"princess!"
Zheng Chengguang also came over to personally greet Ning Xier.
Ning Xi'er noticed that when Zheng Ye carried Qin Yuan closer, only a few of his trusted confidants came to help...
There were few guards following Zheng Chengguang.
In contrast, the guards and servants who had been bustling about in the open space showed fear upon seeing Ning Xi'er and Qin Yuan's group return, and their feet shuffled in opposite directions...
Before long, the more than one hundred people present gathered around, clearly worried that they might catch the illness from Ning Xi'er and Qin Yuan.
What are you doing?
Just then, Grandpa Xu came out of the tent and saw how worried and disheartened these people were. He couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.
"What? Have you forgotten who this is? This is the Princess, our savior!"
"Don't say the princess is considerate of everyone; she herself stays far away from danger..."
"Even if I were to ask you to serve me, would you be so afraid of death that you hide behind me?"
Eunuch Xu's voice was not low, and every word he spoke resonated deeply with everyone present.
"That's enough!"
A clear voice rang out from behind Eunuch Xu.
Xuanfeng was no match for Xie Zhun in the end, and pushed him out of the tent.
Life and death are of paramount importance. Xie Zhun glanced indifferently at the people present and had Xuan Feng push him toward Ning Xi'er.
Eunuch Xu glared at the group of people behind him and quickly followed.
"You've arrived!"
Ning Xi'er smiled, took two steps forward, and came to Xie Zhun.
It was only at this moment that I realized I had missed the person in front of me after not seeing them for three days.
Xie Zhun, oblivious to everyone else, took her hand and said in a somewhat helpless tone, "You... you're disobedient..."
Ning Xi'er blushed, but now was clearly not the time for reminiscing and being affectionate.
She gave Xie Zhun and Eunuch Xu a serious look. "Let's go! I have something important to say!"
