Chapter 52 Stealing Food



"Miss, Xuan Lei is right next to our carriage..."

Haitang exclaimed in surprise.

Ning Xi'er smiled and thought, "Xie Zhun still has some conscience. It wasn't a waste of her efforts to save him."

Now everyone in the team knows that she can save Xie Zhun from critical condition and treat seriously injured and sick patients...

Killing her outright is definitely less difficult than assassinating Xie Zhun...

The final outcome might be the same: Xie Zhun's life would be taken.

Ning Xi'er originally planned to go down and check on the wounded.

The long journey was too much for Xie Zhun's body, and those critically ill patients might also suddenly develop a high fever.

"Miss, please rest. Haitang and I will go!"

Following the same method, Aoxue and Haitang also made a small bundle with Haitang, containing various medicinal powders and gauze given by Ning Xier.

It makes it easy to treat simple injuries in patients.

Ning Xi'er was deeply touched by the maids' thoughtfulness.

He took out the four people's favorite foods from his spatial storage: chestnuts, dried pears, pomegranates, dried bananas, duck, stir-fried chicken, rabbit stew, stir-fried quail...

Then he took out his favorite roast chicken and lamb slices, a bottle each of his favorite pomegranate juice and bayberry juice, and five bowls and five cups...

After Haitang and Aoxue finished their work, they called Baizhi and Gancao to get in the car together.

The four maids were dumbfounded, wondering if they were seeing things. How could they see their favorite food?

Ning Xi'er explained with a smile, "I specially bought it in Changxing County a couple of days ago. I've been busy these past two days, and then something unexpected happened..."

"I just took it out of the bundle and warmed it up again..."

Along the way, Haitang, Baizhi, and others witnessed Ning Xier's many abilities, seeing her take out various first-aid supplies from her bundle...

Besides, everyone's current food, drink, and daily necessities were all purchased by Miss herself in Changxing County last time, together with General Zheng...

Even though Ning Xi'er was performing a magic trick at this moment, the four maids had no doubts.

After all, the main impact is on the outside world; everyone is eating wild vegetables and communal meals...

They were able to enjoy such delicious food, and everyone ate in silence, without making a sound.

Although the journey only lasted a few days, the level of danger kept us on edge the whole time, making it feel like months had passed.

This was the most pleasant meal the four maids had eaten in recent times, and their faces showed joy and gratitude.

Ning Xi'er was satisfied. She used the oil paper placed on the small table to wrap the meat bones and fruit pits. Bai Zhi took them and buried them in the ground while she was relieving herself.

"princess......"

Eunuch Xu approached.

Haitang put away the bowls and cups and took them to the ditch to wash them.

Ning Xi'er opened the carriage curtain. "What's wrong, Eunuch Xu?"

Grandpa Xu was stunned.

He personally handed the tray to Ning Xi'er, saying, "The servants just found a jujube tree nearby and picked some. His Highness asked me to bring them to you..."

These... of course, don't need the prince to remind me. Since Eunuch Xu intends to bribe the princess, he won't let a single word slip by!

Ning Xi'er gratefully accepted the gift and returned it to Eunuch Xu with a handful of sesame candy. She explained with a smile, "It was given to me by the magistrate's wife at the Changxing County Magistrate's residence that day; I've kept it in my pocket ever since..."

Eunuch Xu was flattered. Although this thing was not worth much, it was very rare on this famine-stricken road where there was nowhere to buy it!

This sesame candy looks like a treat that girls would like, but the princess still shared some with him!

Eunuch Xu turned around and returned to Xie Zhun's carriage, offering the sesame candy in his hand.

"Your Highness, the Princess asked me to give this to you!"

"They said they got them from the magistrate's wife during their last trip to Changxing County, and they specially shared some with you..."

Xie Zhun looked at the sesame candy lying in Eunuch Xu's palm and saw that the craftsmanship was indeed excellent.

But what Eunuch Xu said...

He expressed his doubts.

Eunuch Xu took a piece, chewed it, let out an exaggerated exclamation, and handed one to Xie Zhun...

Xie Zhun showed a slightly disgusted expression, but did not refuse.

When you rub your long fingers to your lips and chew slowly, you can indeed taste a lingering sweetness.

Haitang liked bowls, chopsticks, and cups. When she got back to the carriage, she suddenly cried out in surprise.

He lowered his voice so as not to cause any disturbance to those around him.

"What's wrong?" Ning Xi'er asked with a smile.

Startled, Haitang quickly reached out and used a handkerchief to wipe Ning Xier's lips clean.

She felt a pang of regret; in her haste when Eunuch Xu arrived, she had forgotten to check the young lady's appearance.

Ning Xi'er was taken aback, recalling the slightly stunned expression on Eunuch Xu's face just now...

My face darkened. Next time I sneak a bite, I'd better wipe my mouth clean!
