"The princess finished eating a long time ago when she first arrived. She said she would go, but she never did. You've been on the mountain for so long, how have you been able to eat this stuff?"
"There are no crabs, but you can catch some small green shrimp and some small fish in the mountain streams."
Lin Ziwen exclaimed, "Looks like you have everything there, no wonder you can stay for so long."
"Sometimes being alone can be a bit annoying, so I do some hoeing and planting vegetables, and my mood improves a lot."
"So, will you be staying for a longer period of time this time?"
The man sighed and said, "We'll see. Staying for a few days is fine, staying even longer is also fine."
“After the princess wakes up, why don’t you come with me to the border? Since the princess came to marry into the country, the border has been much more peaceful. However, I only went for one day and haven’t seen everything yet. I did see that there are indeed far fewer exiles than last year.”
The man nodded and said, "That's fine then, but I didn't expect that you, Young Master Lin, would be so concerned about border matters."
"There's a saying that goes, 'Even if you're unhappy with 13 out of 10 of your own affairs, you can't bear to see the suffering of the people.' What's the use of having such a large fortune? You might as well use it to help the people suffering on the border. It's not their fault that they are displaced by war. Besides, when the country prospers, the people suffer. When the country is destroyed, the people suffer! In the end, it's all the fault of the country's ruler."
"I didn't expect you to have such deep feelings about this. I used to feel the same pity for the people of this world as you do, but pity alone is not enough. Speaking of which, what happened to your useless monarch?"
Lin Ziwen glanced at him sideways: "Walls have ears, you'd better whisper what you're saying."
"Tch, who doesn't know that your Lin residence is the most heavily guarded, not even a fly can get in? Could it be that there are your sovereign's spies here?"
Lin Ziwen sighed softly: "No, that's not true. I really have nothing to say about him. He's just a treacherous villain. He's only been in office for a year, and I doubt he'll have any good days ahead of him."
"So it seems you and the Regent are quite confident in overthrowing him?"
"It's not that we'll overthrow him. I reckon if we don't, someone else will. People in the world have long been fed up with him. Otherwise, think about why the Central Plains would send the Fifth Princess to marry the Regent instead of him."
That makes sense.
"Hey, hey, hey?" Lin Ziwen suddenly exclaimed, his eyes wide, "Why did he just pull it onto the ground like that!"
"Well, don't mind him. He's used to being wild like that in the mountains, it wasn't out of malice."
Lin Ziwen quickly instructed his servants, "Clean this up quickly!"
Lin Ziwen took two steps back and had himself cleared away.
The man gave him a disdainful look: "When have I ever seen you so fastidious? Don't worry, its poop is perfectly healthy."
"Please, give me a break! This...this...how can this possibly be clean?"
The man quickly pulled Lin Ziwen away, saying, "Alright, alright, let's get out of this mess."
"Hey, you really need to train your dog properly, it can't keep going like this!"
"Alright, stop worrying about it. He'll be going back to his deep forest soon. What's the point of training him like this? He doesn't have a toilet to use."
Lin Ziwen was unhappy: "Anyway, I don't care, he can't poop and pee in my house."
"I can't control that. If you have any ideas about training, then go ahead and train me. I naturally have no objection."
"You're quite the right person," Lin Ziwen rolled his eyes at him.
After cleaning, the servant said to Lin Ziwen, "Young master, it's all cleaned up."
Lin Ziwen glanced at the ground, nodded and said, "Take him downstairs and give him a bath. Then use my almost empty bar of soap to scrub him thoroughly."
"yes."
Just as the servant was about to leave, the man stopped him: "Before washing it, find something to plug its mouth so it doesn't open its mouth, or it might bite you."
"Yes." After saying that, the servant picked up the dog and left.
"The princess has been unconscious for so long, why hasn't she woken up yet?" Yi Zexuan asked from the side.
"Ah...this..." The imperial physician was somewhat confused: "The prince and princess just fell asleep, less than a quarter of an hour ago, so it's normal."
Yi Zexuan tried to hide his embarrassment: "We still need to keep a close eye on things, just in case what he just said happens."
The imperial physician nodded in agreement: "Of course, Your Highness need not be so nervous."
"Alright, then you all just watch. I'll head out now."
Su Lixia woke up in the evening.
"Alright, now that you're awake, everything's fine." The man said, looking at Su Lixia.
Su Lixia slowly sat up: "I'm a little hungry."
"Your voice is quite nice too. Yi Zexuan, you've really struck gold."
What nonsense are you talking about?
The man shrugged and remained silent.
Only Xiaolian hurriedly ran to get food for Su Lixia.
"Huh? You can only have liquid food, you can't eat anything else yet!"
As it turned out, Xiaolian didn't hear it and brought out all sorts of food, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat, but there wasn't a single liquid food.
"Here, Princess, please eat!"
The man smelled the meat and looked over, exclaiming, "Hey, hey, hey? You can't eat this!"
The man quickly knocked the chicken leg out of Su Lixia's hand.
Xiao Lian asked, "Why?"
"That's perfect. If you don't have any food in your stomach, eating something so greasy all of a sudden will only hurt your stomach. Let's eat liquids for now and let your stomach rest."
Xiaolian didn't quite understand: "What do you mean by 'liquid food'?"
"Yes, this refers to congee. It's best to cook something more nourishing. We've been feeling empty these past two days, so we need to replenish ourselves properly. Let's eat these things again tomorrow."
"Okay then..." Xiaolian said and took the things back.
"Why are you acting like those doctors?" Su Lixia muttered to herself.
"Doctor?" The man looked at Su Lixia with a puzzled expression.
Su Lixia laughed awkwardly twice: "It's nothing. I just woke up and my mind is still a little foggy. I just muttered something to myself. Oh right, I remember you saved me, right?"
"uh-huh."
"Thank you so much for saving my life. I will repay your kindness tenfold! I will remember your kindness. If you ever need anything, just let me know and I will help you as much as I can."
The man raised an eyebrow, thinking she was very well-mannered.
“Princess, there’s no need to be so polite. It was just a matter of convenience. If Yi Zexuan hadn’t been poisoned, I probably wouldn’t have been able to develop this antidote.”
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia looked at Yi Zexuan: "How are you? Are you alright?"
"I'm perfectly fine. You should worry about yourself."
"That's just how he is, you don't need to mind him," the man explained.
