Xie Xuan was naturally happy.
He had no idea that Yun Chuwei had poisoned the Li family father and son.
This means that Weiwei, like him, does not trust the Li family father and son.
Clearly, she didn't trust Li Yuanmu either.
This is definitely good news for him.
-
After watching Yun Chuwei board the carriage, Li Ping and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
A moment later, Zhang Gong laughed.
"General, after all that you just said, were you trying to make Miss Yun grateful to the Second Young Master?"
Li Ping's lips twitched.
That's exactly what he thought.
Let Yun Chuwei know that if it weren't for Li Yuanmu, she would have been forced to stay.
Isn't this just to make Yun Chuwei grateful to Li Yuanmu?
Zhang Gong continued, "Actually, you've already achieved half of your goal. There are still people who are grateful to the Second Young Master. It's just that that person is me. If it weren't for the Second Young Master, I would have been poisoned to death by Miss Yun!"
If it weren't for the Second Young Master, Li Ping might have actually chosen to forcibly keep Yun Chuwei, and then they would all have been poisoned to death by Yun Chuwei.
Li Ping: ...
Li Yuanyi: ...
Li Yuanmu: ……
Li Yuanmu felt that he should also be grateful to himself, otherwise he would have been poisoned to death by Yun Chuwei.
Finally, Li Ping and the others decided to leave the city with the group.
After leaving the city, Yun Chuwei had Yan Wei stop the carriage by the roadside.
She lifted the curtain, pointed to a tree by the roadside, and said to Li Ping, "General Li, have someone search the hollow in that tree thoroughly. The antidote I kept is inside."
Li Ping could only signal his deputy to go find it.
The lieutenant searched the tree hollow and found a small bottle.
Li Ping stared at the small medicine bottle in his deputy's hand, speechless for a moment.
If they had any doubts before, thinking that Yun Chuwei was lying to them, they are now certain that Yun Chuwei is not deceiving them.
They were truly poisoned by Yun Chuwei without even realizing it.
Yan Wei was also somewhat surprised, as he had no idea when his young lady had left the antidote here.
However, they did pass through this area when they entered the city.
With the young lady's skills, throwing the medicine bottle into this tree hole would be no difficult task.
Yun Chuwei beckoned to the lieutenant: "Bring it here, let me check!"
The lieutenant glanced at Li Ping, and after receiving Li Ping's permission, handed the small medicine bottle to Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei opened the medicine bottle, smelled it, then closed it and handed it back to the deputy general: "No problem, it's the antidote I put in!"
The lieutenant could only give one bottle to Li Ping.
Li Ping gripped the small bottle of antidote, his lips twitching slightly.
Yun Chuwei had a beautiful smile and a voice as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Remember to eat, everyone! The poison makes you look terrible when you die! I don't recommend leaving it unattended!" Yun Chuwei said.
Li Ping: ...
Zhang Gong: ...
The Li brothers: ...
Does that mean they can just let it go because the death looks good?
Li Ping poured out a pill and swallowed it directly.
Zhang Gong and the Li brothers soon took the antidote as well.
Yun Chuwei still had a smile on her face: "Let's keep going!"
After she finished speaking, she lowered the carriage curtain.
The procession continued forward.
Li Ping looked at his youngest son riding on horseback and sighed, "You... take care of yourself! Some things, you don't have to force them."
He finally understood that his son was no match for Miss Yun.
Li Yuanmu said, "Father, you don't need to worry about me. I know what to do!"
He followed Yun Chuwei to the capital simply because he wanted to get a little closer to her.
As for the rest, let nature take its course.
After Li Yuanmu finished speaking, he spurred his horse and rode away, quickly catching up with the main force.
Li Ping watched the group leave, then suddenly noticed another group wearing ghost masks leaving with them.
Li Ping was slightly startled: "That masked group..."
Zhang Gong sighed: "I'm afraid it's the young lady's people."
Li Ping realized something and looked at Zhang Gong: "Then... that young man wearing the Yama mask..."
"I'm afraid it was someone Miss Yun arranged in advance," Zhang Gong said seriously. "How could someone like Miss Yun trust a complete stranger?"
Li Ping deeply agreed, and was once again glad that he had not chosen to force Yun Chuwei to stay.

After learning that Xie Sheng had gone missing due to a landslide, Xie Xin immediately organized a search party for him.
However, after searching for two or three days, they still couldn't find the person.
Once the mountain stabilized, she sent people to dig a road while simultaneously searching for Xie Sheng.
She only found Xie Sheng in a cave after the road was dug through.
Xie Sheng was seriously injured and was on the verge of death when he was found.
Fortunately, Jiang Wanqiu was there, which saved Xie Sheng's life.
Jizhou lacked effective medicine, and to prevent Xie Sheng from encountering further problems, Xie Xin quickly arranged everything in Jizhou City and personally escorted Xie Sheng back to the capital.
The Crown Prince's serious injury and Yun Chuwei's escape to Goryeo with the rebels are no small matters.
Xie Xuan and his entourage had just returned to the capital when they were arrested and imprisoned.
Even Huo Qingjue, a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was not spared.
However, Emperor Tianqi did not order an immediate trial of the case.
Therefore, Xie Xin and the others were only imprisoned and did not even suffer any external injuries.
Empress Wang, however, was becoming restless.
She wanted to use this incident to snatch Wang Jiajun from Xie Xin's hands.
Wang Jiajun has a natural connection with her and the Crown Prince.
After all, it was an army that her father and brothers had built up single-handedly.
After her father and brother passed away, whether it was the descendants of the royal family or their subordinates who took over the army, they should all unconditionally support her and the crown prince.
However, the emperor arranged for Xie Xin to study under his father and brother in advance, and after his father and brother passed away, he arranged for Xie Xin to take over that army.
Xie Xin is indeed a member of the Wang family, but Xie Xin's mother made a mistake, and it was Xie Xin herself who gave her the poisoned wine.
Xie Xin has always hated her and would never support her and the Crown Prince.
She had long wanted to snatch Wang Jiajun from Xie Xin, so naturally she couldn't let this opportunity slip by.
So she led the ministers from the Crown Prince's faction to kneel in the Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince was seriously injured this time, the rebels escaped, and Yun Chuwei betrayed the country. The Fifth Princess is undoubtedly responsible. I beg Your Majesty to punish the Fifth Princess and give the Crown Prince justice!" Empress Wang said.
Others echoed and agreed.
Emperor Tianqi's expression was rather unpleasant.
He said coldly, "The matter of the rebels is still undecided. I have already sent people to look for Yun Chuwei. We'll talk about it after we bring her back! As for the Crown Prince... it's inevitable to get injured in battle. As long as the Crown Prince's life is not in danger, there's no reason to punish the commander-in-chief for it."
"But, Your Majesty..."
Empress Wang wanted to say something, but Emperor Tianqi interrupted her.
"Your Majesty's most pressing concern should be ensuring the Crown Prince's safety. Your Majesty must not misunderstand and lose sight of the bigger picture! You'll regret it later!" Emperor Tianqi looked at the Empress with eyes as cold as frost.
