Chapter 197 Confirming the message with Xie Jing

Xie Jing was very curious about where in Da Xia that chef was from, who could make meals that tasted like Aning's.

Looking at the quiet courtyard, he slowly walked towards the door.

Thinking of how he used to walk with big steps, but now he couldn't even walk like a normal person.

Xie Jing came to the door and found that someone was guarding it. He said, "I want to go out for a walk."

The guard said, "Without the princess's order, you can't walk around at will."

Xie Jing frowned when he heard this. Is this different from house arrest?

Although the princess saved him, it doesn't mean that she can restrict his freedom at will.

Just then, the princess came in and saw Xie Jing standing at the door. She said worriedly, "Why did you come out? The doctor said that you need to take good care of your injury."

Xie Jing looked at the princess in front of him. In the past few days, the princess came to his room several times a day, and she took care of everything including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Princess, I just wanted to go out for a walk, but they wouldn't let me. They said it was your will."

The princess glanced at the guards, her eyes flashing with displeasure. When she looked at Xie Jing, her eyes immediately became gentle, "Don't worry, I'm just afraid that someone will disturb your rest. Wait until your injuries are healed, then you can walk around freely."

Xie Jing heard this and said, "Princess, I'm sorry to bother you. I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet. I've been here for some time, and my subordinates may be worried."

The princess glanced around, "The wind is particularly strong today. You are injured, let's go in and talk first."

Xie Jing also found that the wind was very strong today, and he couldn't let the delicate princess talk to him in the cold wind.

"Okay."

The two walked into the house one after the other. There was a charcoal fire burning in the house, and there were thick curtains to block the wind. It was much warmer than outside.

Xie Jing and the princess sat down at the table, and the maid Duan Liang placed two cups of hot tea in front of the princess and Xie Jing respectively.

Xie Jing asked, "Princess, how long have I been unconscious?"

The princess picked up the teacup, looked up at Xie Jing, and said, "About one and a half months."

Xie Jing was a little surprised when he heard it, "I was unconscious for so long?"

The princess took a sip of tea and said faintly, "Don't you know how badly you were injured at that time? When I saw you, you were almost out of breath. I brought you back and found many doctors to treat your injuries. Many doctors said that you couldn't be saved. I think, as long as you still have a breath, I will not give up on saving you."

Xie Jing didn't expect that his life was hanging by a thread and he had been unconscious for so long. Xue Yi and the others must be worried crazy.

"Thank you so much, Princess, for saving me. I will never forget your kindness. I want to go back today. My subordinates will be worried if they find out I have been missing for so long."

The princess was unhappy when she heard that he was leaving. She had finally brought him back and spent so much manpower and energy to save him. Now he wants to leave?

"Your injuries are so serious that you cannot be shaken. What if the wounds split open? Will my efforts in saving you be in vain? You can write to your subordinates and tell them not to worry."

Xie Jing thought of his own injuries. He had just healed, and if they split open again, it would be very dangerous.

"Okay, I will write a letter first and go back in a few days."

The princess smiled and agreed, "Okay, you write a letter first."

From the moment she saved Xie Jing, she had no intention of leaving Xie Jing.

Besides, his subordinates had long thought that Xie Jing was dead.

"Prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Yes, princess."

After the maid prepared the pen and paper, Xie Jing could not wait to pick up the pen, dip it in ink and start writing the letter.

The princess stood up and came to Xie Jing's side, lowering her eyes to look at the words Xie Jing wrote, which were full of vigor and strength.

"The general's handwriting is very beautiful."

Xie Jing said lightly: "Princess

, thank you for the compliment." After writing the letter, Xie Jing folded the letter and put it in the envelope, and then sealed it.

The action of sealing was smooth and neat.

After sealing it, Xie Jing handed the letter to the princess with both hands, "Princess, please make sure to deliver the letter to Xue Yi."

The princess took the letter and said with a smile, "General, don't worry, I will explain it clearly." Xie

Jing said, "Thank you, Princess."

The princess smiled and said, "General, you are too polite."

After leaving Yunxuan Courtyard, the princess took a look at the letter in her hand, chuckled, and returned to the princess's bedroom. She took out the oil lamp and lit it, then took the letter written by Xie Jing and put it above the oil lamp, letting it ignite the envelope. The princess watched the letter in her hand

being lit, and then threw it into the brazier, and smiled when it was burned out.

In the kitchen, the smoke from cooking was faint.

Jiang Youning put the prepared meals into the food box one by one. When Madam Wang came, she said, "Madam Wang, the food box is a bit heavy. Can I carry it for you?"

Madam Wang has become familiar with Jiang Youning these days. This girl can cook well, and she, a cook, is tempted.

"Okay, you have to be more careful. This is the princess's mansion, and there is no room for mistakes."

Jiang Youning said with a smile, "Madam Wang, don't worry. I still want to make more money. I won't make any mistakes."

Madam Wang laughed when she heard it, "Okay, just follow me."

Jiang Youning nodded vigorously, "Yeah."

After Madam Wang walked out, Jiang Youning carried the heavy food box, using all her strength to follow Madam Wang out the door.

After walking across the arch bridge and through the moon-shaped gate, and after several twists and turns, just when Jiang Youning could hardly hold her luggage anymore, she heard Madam Wang say, "We're here."

Jiang Youning let out a long sigh. She was finally here. This princess's mansion was quite big.

After passing through, before Jiang Youning walked in with her lunch box, she looked up at the three words "Yunxuan Courtyard" written on the door, and then continued to walk in.

She followed Madam Wang all the way and stopped at the door.

Madam Wang smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, lunch is here."

Aunt Chen glanced at the maid behind Madam Wang and asked, "Who is she? She looks unfamiliar."

Madam Wang glanced at Jiang Youning and explained with a smile, "She is the newly hired cook. She cooks all the meals."

Jiang Youning lowered her eyebrows and nodded.

Aunt Chen looked at him again and then retracted her gaze, "Just give me the food box."

Madam Wang came over, took the food box from Jiang Youning and handed it to Aunt Chen.

Jiang Youning thought she could go in, but she was blocked outside?

Wasn't she working in vain? She

didn't even know who was inside.

Jiang Youning was a little depressed. She thought she could confirm whether the person inside was Xie Jing today, but this is the result? ? ?

Inside the house, steaming hot food was placed on the dining table.

Xie Jing was already hungry by now. He sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and glanced at the food in front of him. Even the style was the same as An Ning's.

He picked up the food and put it into his mouth and started eating.

The princess was sitting opposite, watching Xie Jing eating. Although she was not noble and elegant, she was very pleasing to the eye.

Xie Jing glanced at the princess opposite and asked casually, "I heard you say last time that the chef was specially hired. Do you know where she is from?"

The princess did not answer and asked, "Yes, why do you ask this?"

Xie Jing said, "I am just a little curious about where the chef is from and why the food she cooks is so to my taste."

The princess smiled and said, "This, I don't know."

She looked at Chen who was standing beside her . Aunt, "Do you know where she is from?"

Aunt Chen said, "The cook is outside, I'll go ask her."

Princess: "Well, go ahead."

Aunt Chen came out and looked at Jiang Youning, "Where are you from?"

Jiang Youning raised her head and looked at Aunt Chen, "My family is in Jinling, but my hometown is not in Jinling, it's a modern, small place."

After Aunt Chen asked, she retracted her gaze and walked in.

After entering, Aunt Chen said to the princess, "I asked, and the cook is from Jinling."

Xie Jing's eyes paused when he heard the word Jinling, and he continued to eat the rice in the bowl without saying a word.

Aunt Chen then said, "I heard from the cook that her hometown is in modern times, a small place."

The princess looked up at Xie Jing and asked with a smile, "General, have you heard of this place called modern times?"

Xie Jing froze when he heard the word modern times. He had only heard of this place called modern times from An Ning, who said she was a traveler from modern times. He

smiled and said that this cook's family was in Jinling, her hometown was in modern times, and the food she cooked was exactly the same as An Ning's.

This gave him a bold idea, could the cook be An Ning?

He raised his head calmly and looked at the princess, and said lightly: "I haven't heard of it. It's a small place, maybe it's too remote."

The princess smiled and said, "Yes, the general seems to be from Jinling. I haven't even heard of the general. I'm afraid I don't know where he is."

Xie Jing said, "But her food sounds delicious, almost as good as the chef in my house."

The princess said, "No wonder you like to eat, it turns out that her cooking skills are comparable to the chef in your house."

Xie Jing didn't know if it was okay.

After lunch, Aunt Chen cleaned up the dishes and went out.

The princess stood up and looked at Xie Jing with her beautiful eyes, "You should rest more and recover soon, and go out for a walk."

Xie Jing also stood up and said, "I will."

The princess smiled and turned to walk out.

After Xie Jing saw her go out, he walked quickly to the window. He covered the wound on his chest, because he walked too fast and pulled the wound, which was a little painful.

He pushed open a corner of the window and looked outside, and saw a petite figure carrying a food box. She was wearing a gray coarse cloth dress that looked very old, and had a simple bun.

The figure looked a bit like Aning.

Is it Aning?

This place is thousands of miles away from Jinling, how could Aning come here?

In the yard, Jiang Youning followed Wang Niang reluctantly with a food box.

It was not easy to come to Yunxuan Courtyard, but in the end, she didn't even see it.

She sighed, and didn't know if Aunt Chen told the person inside what she said.

If the person inside is Xie Jing, he must have guessed that the cook who cooks for him every day is her, right?

If he knew it was her, he would come to find her, right?

Jiang Youning felt hopeful again. If it was him, he would definitely know, he was so smart.

Back in the kitchen, this would be the most leisurely time.

Jiang Youning walked to Madam Wang with melon seeds and gave her half, "Madam Wang, eat some melon seeds."

"You're free anyway, so eat some." Madam Wang started to eat the melon seeds.

Jiang Youning asked casually, "Madam Wang, what kind of distinguished guest is staying in Yunxuan Courtyard? Why is the princess so concerned?"

Madam Wang said, "I don't know. He was seriously injured when he first arrived and was in a coma for a long time. He has only been awake for a few days."

Jiang Youning felt strange. He was injured very early and was in a coma. Could it be Xie Jing?

I heard from my eldest brother that Xie Jing led elite soldiers to fight ten people at once, but was trapped due to unexpected factors.

When Xue Yi saw Xie Jing for the last time, Xie Jing's eyes were seriously injured.

Madam Wang added, "I'm also curious about who could make the princess so nervous. I heard that when she first came here, the doctor said she wouldn't survive."

Jiang Youning's heart trembled as she listened. Thinking that it was Xie Jing who had narrowly escaped death, she was terrified.

Listening to what Madam Wang said, she knew that she didn't know much.

It can also be seen that the princess is very cautious about this matter.

Jiang Youning knew that it would be difficult to see the person inside, so she had to think about it carefully.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Yuanbao sneaked in with ointment.

In the princess's mansion, there was a gust of wind and nothing could be heard.

Jiang Youning had been waiting. When she heard the cat's cry, she tiptoed out and came to the agreed place.

"Miss, give me your hand."

Jiang Youning reached out her hand when she heard it, "I almost saw the person inside today."

Yuanbao looked at her fair hands by candlelight, which were now red and swollen, obviously frostbite.

He applied some ointment on the red and swollen areas with his fingertips.

He asked, "Don't rush now, I'll go see if I can get in tonight."

Jiang Youning said, "There are many guards at the door. I heard that the princess treats him very well. You should be careful. It's okay if you can't get in. We'll continue to think of a way."

Yuanbao said "hmm" and continued to apply the ointment.

Jiang Youning said, "My hands have been itching badly these past two days when I go to bed at night. Do you know why?"

Yuanbao paused and explained, "This is the cause of frostbite. The quilt is warm, and the frostbite will itch."

Jiang Youning suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder it's been itching badly these past two days."

After applying the ointment, Yuanbao stared at her hands for a long time and couldn't help saying, "Miss, come out." "How can I

do that? I've already succeeded halfway, I can't give up halfway, and I've already sent the message in. If he's Xie Jing, he should have guessed that I was the one who cooked."

Yuanbao was a little surprised, "How did you send the message in?"

Jiang Youning smiled mysteriously at him, "Hehe, this is a secret between me and Xie Jing."

Yuanbao pursed his lips and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Youning felt her hands were cold, probably because of applying the ointment.

She raised her head and looked at Yuanbao, "You should go too, go early and come back early, don't be stubborn."

Yuanbao nodded, "Okay."

After Jiang Youning went in, Yuanbao left.

He came to Yunxuan Courtyard with ease, and the guards were the same as before, and there was no reduction.

The Sixth Princess values ​​Xie Jing so much, maybe she likes Xie Jing?

At this time, in Yunxuan Courtyard.

A lamp was left on in the room, emitting a faint light.

Xie Jing was lying on the bed and was not asleep. He was wondering if the cook who was outside the door today would be Aning.

Various coincidences made him have the answer in his heart.

However, his injuries have not healed yet, and he might have difficulty climbing over the wall.

It is a bit difficult to go out and confirm.

Good night, babies!
