Suddenly, the guards surrounding the carriage dispersed to both sides.
A path was left open in the middle.
Xuanfeng pushed Xie Zhun in his wheelchair slowly toward the carriage.
Bai Zhi held Ning Xi'er by the back of her neck, while Hai Tang cried as she poured spiritual spring water into Ning Xi'er's mouth...
After being filled with several water sacs, Ning Xi'er's abdomen was already swollen, but she still showed no reaction.
Xie Zhun saw Ning Xi'er's appearance from afar, and his face turned ashen.
The speed at which Xuanfeng pushed the wheelchair revealed the emotions of the master and servant.
A crowd had gathered around the carriage, and Xie Zhun, sitting in his wheelchair, couldn't even see Ning Xi'er's expression.
"All of you, scatter!"
Xie Zhun Lengchen gave the order.
Eunuch Xu respectfully stepped out of the carriage, and Zheng Chengguang and Zheng Ye also stepped back. Xu Yan also walked behind Eunuch Xu.
"Pick her up!"
Xie Zhun instructed Ning Xi'er's four maids.
Bai Zhi then directly lifted Ning Xi'er sideways and carried her down from the carriage.
Haitang was quite frightened. Aoxue and Gancao reacted quickly, pulling out the cotton wadding and blankets from the carriage and spreading them on the ground...
Bai Zhi gently laid Ning Xi'er flat on the bedding.
Xuanfeng ordered the guards to form a circle around the carriage, with all of them facing away from each other, creating a closed space for Ning Xi'er and Xie Zhun in the middle.
Before Xie Zhun could speak, Eunuch Xu recounted everything that had happened in the carriage to Xie Zhun.
Xie Zhun pointed to the bedding that Ning Xi'er had placed underneath.
Xuanfeng immediately carried Xie Zhun to Ning Xi'er's side.
Xie Zhun stared intently at the pale-faced figure before him.
Her lips, once rosy and full, were now a deep, somber color, a stark reminder that she was deeply poisoned...
Xie Zhun tenderly placed her head on his lap.
Although, at this moment, he had no feeling in his legs.
When the guard in charge of counting the number of people came to report, Zheng Chengguang's face immediately turned cold.
He was still one step behind; You Yong didn't run away, but he let twenty of his men escape and took more than a dozen of their families with him...
If Zheng Chengguang hadn't acted quickly, they might already be down the mountain by now...
Zheng Chengguang went over in person, and Zheng Ye, seeing this, also rushed over.
Xu Yan looked up and glanced in that direction, still standing behind Eunuch Xu.
Xie Zhun remained calm because, based on Eunuch Xu's description and Ning Xi'er's reactions before and after the incident...
Thanks for the accurate information. Ning Xi'er must have been aware of the poison in the chicken soup.
This certainty was especially evident in Xie Zhun's insistence that Haitang recount Ning Xi'er's entire conversation with her, word for word.
Those present, including Xie Zhun, Eunuch Xu, and even Xu Yan, all wore thoughtful expressions.
According to Haitang's account, Ning Xier summoned Generals Zheng Chengguang and Zheng Ye over, and Xie Zhun then ordered his guards to invite them.
As was unusual, even before there was sufficient evidence, Zheng Ye ordered his men to tie up all the bandits and trap them together.
Although no action was taken against the families of the bandits, their scope and freedom were restricted.
Zheng Chengguang did not stop him. He was always cautious, but looking at his nephew Zheng Ye, he felt that he had matured a lot compared to before, perhaps due to the influence of the princess...
Decisiveness and ruthlessness can not necessarily lead to bad results.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Zheng Chengguang and Zheng Yelai lowered their voices and repeated Ning Xier's original words to them.
Xie Zhun's expression finally softened.
The last trace of doubt in my heart was completely dispelled.
Haitang was certain she had drunk the chicken soup, and knowing it was poisoned, she knew she had family to save her; she would never so easily give up on life...
The only answer suggests that she has a chance against the poison.
Even knowing her exceptional medical skills and that she was acting in the best interests of the group, using the opportunity to wipe out the treacherous bandits...
But her lack of self-care still stirred a surge of anger within Xie Zhun...
