Gu Xinran helped the stunned Xiao Mingzhan to sit on the couch and checked the wounds on his hands and feet. Fortunately, they had not broken open, and under the effect of a large amount of spiritual spring water, they had begun to scab.
I met his incredulous look with amusement, "Don't overthink it, these are the original objects in this space, I can just control them at will."
Xiao Mingzhan, who had recovered his surprise, continued to praise: "That's amazing!"
Gu Xinran did this deliberately to distract his attention and told him not to mention the breakup anymore.
She picked up the still warm porridge that she hadn't finished feeding him last night and handed it to him, "You're still weak, eat something first."
Xiao Mingzhan made an excuse that his hand hurt and asked Gu Xinran to feed him, enjoying the beauty's favor alone.
The person who feeds is attentive, the person who eats is elegant, and their eyes occasionally meet, filled with deep affection.
After serving Grandpa Xiao, Gu Xinran held a bowl of wontons harvested in Dafeng County and ate so much that she couldn't even lift her head. She also had a big chicken leg in the middle to increase her nutrition. She still needs to work hard for a few years if she wants to grow up with her small body.
Seeing that she was eating with relish, Xiao Mingzhan also took a few bites. Perhaps because he was weak, he had no taste for anything except the Lingquan porridge.
The two enjoyed a warm breakfast in the space and visited the Lingquan Courtyard.
Gu Xinran discovered that as long as Xiao Mingzhan didn't want him to see something, he wouldn't be able to see it. This made her feel convenient and at ease. The gold, silver, jewelry, and large amounts of food did not appear in front of him.
This delay lasted at least half an hour, and we had to go out.
Gu Xinran reminded: "Let's go back. If Doctor Ling wakes up and can't find us, we'll be worried again."
Doctor Ling, who has loved him like his own grandfather since he was a child, is one of the most important people in Xiao Mingzhan's heart.
"Okay, come in again when you have a chance."
After saying that, he pulled Gu Xinran back to the cave. Fortunately, Doctor Ling didn't wake up. He looked really exhausted.
However, there was movement coming from the main cave, and the secret guards had woken up.
Xiao Mingzhan had just recovered from the effects of the poison, and his internal energy was too great. After all this ordeal, once the excitement wore off, he became listless again. Gu Xinran helped him lie down and rest.
I went out for a walk and found that it was bright outside the cave. Xiao Ba and Xiao Mei were cooking porridge. Several seriously injured secret guards were washing and able to walk slowly. It seemed that they had recovered well.
When Xiaomei saw her coming, she hurriedly prepared a basin of hot water, and Gu Xinran took it back to the cave.
I just happened to see that Doctor Ling had woken up. After a good night's sleep, he had recovered a lot of energy.
Gu Xinran brought him some water to wash up, and said, "Grandpa Ling, after breakfast, let's go back to the Qingshan Village camp. Big Brother Xiao has agreed to this."
"Well, I'll listen to you. I'll make the arrangements later."
After washing up, he turned around and left.
After dinner, everyone packed up and was about to leave when Zimmer came back.
When he saw Xiao Mingzhan waking up and in good spirits, a smile appeared on his long-tense face.
He half-knelt and reported, "Your Highness, while on his way to seek assistance, I happened to meet General Zhennan, who was leading his troops to support me, along with your master, his brothers, and his sisters. I've come here in advance to report that they will be here in a moment."
Gu Xinran was happy in her heart. It was good to have reinforcements. She was worried just now that the injured secret guard would have a bumpy ride on horseback, which would be difficult for him to recover from his injuries.
Xiao Mingzhan nodded expressionlessly and waved his hand to let him leave.
Seeing his cold expression, Gu Xinran said, "We'll be able to leave this damp and cold cave soon, aren't you looking forward to it?"
What Xiao Mingzhan wanted most was to be alone with Gu Xinran, no matter where. Once these people came, his peace was gone.
Countless things were waiting for him to do: he had to deal with the affairs of Jinzhou, track the whereabouts of the Third Prince, and smooth out the route to escape south...
Especially when he heard that the junior sister was coming, he was really overwhelmed and sighed: "Ran Ran, let's hide in the space and live a leisurely life."
Gu Xinran knew that he was tired and was just venting, so she gave him some advice, "Trust your subordinates and let them do the work. You can relax and have a good time."
Xiao Mingzhan thought it made sense, but since it was his junior sister’s matter, he had to talk to Ranran first to make sure she didn’t misunderstand.
He took Gu Xinran's hand and whispered, "My junior sister is a bit unruly. If she provokes you, don't give in. I'm with you."
Gu Xinran nodded, mentally prepared.
At this moment, a clear girl's voice came: "Brother Mingzhan, Yaoyao is here to see you!"
Following the sound, a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing an apricot-yellow skirt and a frosty cloak, appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The furry cape collar sets off the palm-sized face, making it look even more delicate.
Behind her followed three men, one old, one middle-aged and one young, and Doctor Ling and Duan Yunchi accompanied her.
Gu Xinran put two extra backrests behind Xiao Mingzhan and helped him sit up straight. Just as she was about to step aside to make room for everyone, a beautiful girl quickly came to Xiao Mingzhan and pushed Gu Xinran, who was in the way, aside.
Her eyes flushed red as she spoke crisply, "Brother Mingzhan, I heard your poison has recurred. I'm so worried, wuwu..."
As he said this, he reached out to hug Xiao Mingzhan's arm.
Gu Xinran was a little annoyed. This little beauty was so rude. Then she watched coldly and saw Xiao Mingzhan's performance. If he dared to get close to her, she would chop him off wherever he touched.
Fortunately, he dodged it, and said with a hint of impatience: "Junior Sister Yaoyao, please be careful with your words and actions. Men and women should not touch each other. You must have worked hard on the journey, so please rest first. Yun Chi will greet them for me."
The young man and the old man next to her also coaxed her to go down first.
Duan Yunchi first nodded and greeted Gu Xinran, then took Miss Yaoyao and retreated. Gu Xinran also took the opportunity to retreat behind the crowd.
Next, a middle-aged general with thick eyebrows and large eyes, looking majestic, saluted Xiao Mingzhan and said, "General Duan Qingyan greets the King of Qi. I was unable to rescue him in time. Please forgive me!"
As soon as Gu Xinran saw this man, she felt a liking for him. She didn't expect that Duan Yunchi's uncle was so handsome and heroic. His aura and appearance were worthy of being the General Zhennan.
Xiao Mingzhan raised his hand to support him, "General, please excuse the formalities. I am innocent. Please take a seat."
Xiao Ba and Xiao Mei had already brought in a lot of flat stones from outside and placed them in the cave for everyone to sit on.
After the ceremony, the general stepped aside and sat down.
Xiao Mingzhan took the initiative to greet the old man and the young man who approached him: "Master, Senior Brother, you must have had a hard journey. Why did you come down the mountain?"
The two men went forward with concern to check his injuries. Seeing that he looked pale and lacked energy, they took out two hundred-year-old ginseng roots to nourish him.
Xiao Mingzhan thanked him, took it, and handed it to Doctor Ling.
The old man with white hair and youthful face finally spoke: "The royal family encountered such a major event, but they didn't even inform our sect. Although we don't interfere in court disputes, it is our duty to protect our disciples. Is it okay for us to let our eldest brother stay with you for the time being?"
Xiao Mingzhan thought of the years he had spent at Lingyuan Mountain and felt grateful. His master had been so kind to him, and he didn't want to let his master down, so he nodded in agreement and said, "I'll be in trouble from now on, Senior Brother."
The handsome young man in his twenties nodded expressionlessly.
Gu Xinran felt that she had nothing to do here, so she quietly walked out of the cave.
When she was about to leave the cave, Duan Yunchi called out to her in a low voice, "Xinran, where are you going? I'm going with you."
