The next morning at the palace gate
Li Xue was helped out of the palace by the palace maid. Looking at the long wedding procession, she swept her eyes through the crowd and soon met those gentle eyes.
My heart suddenly felt much more at ease. I watched him walk towards me step by step and stretch out his hand. I stared at him blankly.
The maid beside her whispered, "Princess, the young general is going to help you get into the carriage. Hurry up and hand over your hand. What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Ling looked at her gently. When their hands touched, one of them felt so cold that she didn't look like a living person, while the other's palm was warm with thin calluses.
Li Xue coveted that bit of warmth and subconsciously held it tighter, lowering her head in embarrassment. When she got on the carriage, she felt dizzy and would have fallen if someone hadn't supported her.
"Princess, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy..."
Before he could finish his words, he was picked up and carried sideways. He subconsciously put his arms around his neck and stared at his jaw with wide eyes. His mind was a little stuck and he didn't know what to say.
Jiang Ling whispered, "Excuse me, I'll carry the princess to the carriage. A doctor will come over to take her pulse and prepare medicine."
"Oh, okay, thank you."
The two of them sat in the carriage, which moved slowly. Li Xue sat with her back straight, her breathing unconsciously becoming lighter. She glanced at him secretly, feeling a little nervous.
Jiang Ling took out a book from somewhere and handed it to her: "Princess, please read the storybook."
"A storybook. I saw a palace maid read it before. I heard it was very interesting. The young general also likes to read this."
"No, my third brother likes to read storybooks, so I took one from him. Princess, please take a look and see if you like it. If you like it, I will buy more."
"The journey to the Northern Wilderness is long, so it's inevitable that you'll get bored. If you have a storybook to pass the time, it will go by faster."
Li Xue reached out to take it, relaxed a little and leaned back on the pillow. She opened it and read a few pages, became interested, and immersed herself in the storybook. She didn't even notice when Jiang Ling left.
A strange man's voice sounded outside the carriage: "Princess, my brother asked me to come over and take your pulse. I wonder if it's convenient for you now."
"...Your brother is a major general."
"Yes, I'm the third child in the family. My future sister-in-law can just call me Ah Sheng. I'm good at medicine. My brother is worried that my future sister-in-law is not feeling well, so he asked me to take her pulse."
Li Xue glanced at the palace maid in the corner, who was the spy planted by her father, and said coldly, "Hurry up and open the curtain and let the Third Young Master get into the carriage."
"Princess, the Third Young Master is a stranger after all. This is a bit inappropriate. How about using a thread to diagnose his pulse?"
"Don't talk too much, just open the carriage door."
"...Yes, I understand."
The maid reluctantly opened it, and saw a man bending over and coming in. He sat in the corner with a smile on his face: "Hello, future sister-in-law, just call me Ah Sheng."
Li Xue blushed when she heard this address: "Well, Ah Sheng, thank you for your help."
"It's not a big deal. We'll bring a doctor with us on the way. Don't worry, sister-in-law. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, remember to tell me."
"Okay, thank you."
After taking the pulse, Jiang Sheng's heart skipped a beat. Why was the pulse so weak? She looked so thin. I'm afraid her sister-in-law must be having a very hard life in the harem.
After taking her pulse carefully, he lowered his eyes to hide the abnormality in his eyes. It seemed that someone had poisoned her body. He had not yet tested the specific poison, but there was no serious problem for the time being.
He let go of her hand and whispered, "Sister-in-law, you are too weak. I will have someone prepare medicinal food for you later. If you add some medicinal herbs, you will feel better."
"Oh, I also brought a lot of storybooks. If you're bored, you can read them. I'll ask Yueli to come talk to you later. Yueli is my fiancée."
"She is from Beixia and has a very cheerful personality. You will definitely like her, sister-in-law."
Li Xue's lips curled up into a smile, and she said gently, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you... Third Brother."
After everyone left, the palace maid sneered, "Third Princess, don't forget what the eldest princess said. You have important things to do in the Northern Wilderness this time, not to become a family member with the Jiang family."
"Da Gan's surname is Li, not Jiang. As a princess, Your Highness should spend your whole life doing what you are supposed to do for the stability of the Li family."
Li Xue looked at her coldly: "That's all I have to say. If you keep talking too much, I'll pull out your tongue. Will it make you quieter?"
Perrin looked at her silently without saying anything.
After the team slowly left the city, they waited until dark before stopping by the river to rest. The meals were delivered by the servants, and the medicinal food was much more delicious than she had imagined.
Li Xue listened to the laughter outside, lifted the car window curtain and looked outside. There were several people fishing by the river, and there was some envy in her eyes.
My throat felt itchy and I couldn't help coughing twice.
A red figure trotted over, looked up at the people in the carriage, and said enthusiastically: "Sister-in-law, do you want to get off and walk around? You'll feel better faster if you get some fresh air."
Li Xue opened her mouth to agree when she saw Pei Lan approaching with a dissatisfied look in her eyes: "My prince is ill. If he gets a cold, wouldn't it be even worse? What if he gets a fever?"
Bei Yueli looked at the arrogant maid, narrowed her eyes and said rudely: "I am the princess of Beixia. Who told you to speak so rudely before I asked you?"
"Go away and don't disturb me and my sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, you need to come down and get some fresh air."
Li Xue smiled and nodded, then said softly, "Okay, I want to go and watch you guys fishing. Peilan, hurry up and get your cloak. If you don't show any tact, you won't have to serve me anymore."
Perrin suppressed his anger and went to get his cloak. He reached out to help her get out of the carriage, but was pushed aside by someone passing by.
"Sister-in-law, come here, I'll help you."
"Okay, thank you Yueli."
"It's okay. I liked you the moment I saw you. You have a really good temper, and you're gentle and kind, unlike me who's impulsive and impulsive. Hehe, let's play together in the future."
Li Xue looked at her and laughed, and couldn't help laughing too. She felt relieved: "Okay, let's play together."
The two slowly walked to the river and watched them fishing.
Bei Yueli came over with a fishing rod and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, come and try it. We will have fish tonight. Ah Sheng cooks delicious fish. I like boiled fish the most."
"Can I fish?"
"Of course, it's still early on the road. If you have nothing to do at night, why not relax? A good mood will make your body feel better quickly. Let's try to see if we can catch any fish."
Li Xue cast her rod vigorously and waited quietly. After a while, she felt movement on the rod and said nervously, "Yueli, come and take a look. It looks like there's a fish on the hook."
"Wow, my sister-in-law is really amazing."
