Rong Xiu estimated the time in his mind and said calmly, "It's someone from the Zhenguo Mansion. Shihu."

Shihu responded, took out a flare from his sleeve and lit it. The blue fireworks rose into the sky, and the smoke lingered after the explosion, like an icon pointing the way.

"So fast?" Hua Yuanzhao wondered. How long had it been since they escaped? How come the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion arrived so quickly?

Rong Xiu smiled slightly and sat calmly in the water looking at her.

Soon, footsteps were heard approaching in the distance, the light of torches broke through the darkness, and soldiers from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion poured out from the forest.

Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, Princess Lin'an came over with a whip in her hand, looking arrogant and said, "How did it become like this? You still have to rely on me, right?"

Hua Yuanzhao's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned his head silently to look at Rong Xiu.

Rong Xiu's face turned dark, and his calm expression was gone. He asked, "Why is it you?"

Princess Lin'an was full of pride. She jumped to the shore, put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "I begged my mother for a long time before she gave me this job! You are not allowed to steal the credit from me!"

Rong Xiu just felt a headache. When did his mother become so unreliable? She actually agreed to Lin An's outrageous request!

"Don't worry, sir. Jingsi Temple has been surrounded. Madam just wanted the princess to see the world, so she agreed to the princess's request."

A kind voice came from behind Princess Lin'an. Nanny Gu came over, leading the horse, and spoke gently to Rong Xiu.

"You are here too..." Rong Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Nanny Gu was an elder by his mother's side. Although she was inconspicuous, she had a high prestige in the army. With her present, there would be no danger.

"I feel relieved when you are here." Rong Xiu sat in the water carefreely: "Since you are here, I will send Miss Hua back first."

Although the poison in his body has been suppressed, if it were to break out, it would be more inconvenient to be outside than at home.

He stood up slowly and raised his chin towards Fuling: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you help your young lady up?"

Hua Yuanzhao stood up with the help of Fuling and said hesitantly: "I, I'd better go back to Jingsi Temple with you. I just asked someone to poison it. What if someone from the Zhenguo Mansion accidentally touches it..."

Although she had the antidote and could let Fuling go on this trip for her, she always felt a little uneasy.

Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Hua Yuanzhao's worried face, and then changed the topic: "Then let's go and take a look together."

Shihu was smart. He ordered people to make a simple sedan chair and found four people to carry Hua Yuanzhao to Jingsi Temple.

Jingsi Temple has been surrounded by the soldiers of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Even through the closed door, one can hear the shrill screams from inside.

Jingtian was blocking the door and confronting the guards from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

He saw Hua Yuanzhao coming towards him on a sedan chair from afar, and subconsciously took a defensive posture, frightened to the point of breaking out in cold sweats.

Nanny Gu found it a bit strange to see these people blocking here and not entering Jingsi Temple. According to her arrangement, Jingsi Temple should have been cleared out by now!

"What's going on?" asked Nanny Gu. The screams coming from Jingsi Temple were so harsh that she thought she was on the battlefield again.

"Mammy, Master, Princess." The team leader who was confronting Jingtian hurried forward and reported: "Master Jingtian said that the people in Jingsi Temple were poisoned, and the poison is contagious, so we are standing still."

Hua Yuanzhao looked at Nanny Gu in surprise. Could it be that in the minds of these palace soldiers, this person was the one actually in charge?

After hearing this, Rong Xiu was a little unsure and turned to look at Hua Yuanzhao inquiringly.

"The poison is not very contagious, don't worry." Hua Yuanzhao said. After all, this is the capital city, and there are people everywhere. How could she use a highly contagious toxin?

Everyone felt relieved after hearing her words, but when they opened the door, what they saw was like hell on earth.
