General Nan Jinxing will not withdraw his troops until he sees my cousin safely. If you really do this, it will save me the trouble of sending her directly to General Nan. "

Before she came, she had sent someone to inform Nan Jinxing that he must guard the cave entrance until Lu Linyi came out.

"By the way, I would like to remind you that this giant python will also stay here to supervise you. It is not as easily threatened as humans."

She stroked the python gently, and the python twisted comfortably, but Li Yi felt uneasy.

"Are you planning to detain us?" Qu Shang's mouth twitched.

"You can say that as long as you behave yourself, I will ensure your safe departure from Yujing City. But if anything happens during this time that is not good for my cousin, you should know what kind of character I am in this life.

At that time, we will slowly settle all the old and new grudges."

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she turned around and asked Qingfeng Tieyi to take Zhenbei Hou out of the cave. Before leaving, she looked back at Lu Linyi and gave her a reassuring smile.

"General, I didn't see Miss Lu." When the Yulin Cavalry saw Jiang Xue and others appear, they immediately reported to Nan Jinxing. Hearing this, Nan Jinxing frowned and said, "Order them to guard the cave entrance! Don't let any movement go."

"As ordered."

He stared at the cave entrance firmly and made up his mind: Linyi, I will definitely rescue you!

Late at night, the lights in the imperial study were still on. Xiao Zhan turned his back to the door, looking at the gray moonlight outside the window. His worries gradually dissipated when the servant announced the princess' return.

“Yun Che.”

When Jiang Xue stepped into the room, she was pulled into a warm embrace. She leaned her head gently on his shoulder, feeling the warmth from his big hands, and the warmth gradually spread throughout her body.

"I'm home," she whispered, knowing his concern was being conveyed to her through the hug.

She hugged his strong waist tightly and moved closer to him.

"Yeah." A low and gentle voice sounded in her ears.

Although it was just a simple word, it made her feel extremely at ease.

"Did you change the dressing on your injury on time today?" Smelling the faint scent of medicine on his shoulder, she realized that the new medicine might not have been replaced.

She patted his back gently, motioning him to loosen up a little, then sniffed at his shoulder. "You didn't even change the dressing at noon?" She frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.

Faced with such reproach, Xiao Zhan avoided her gaze like a child who had done something wrong.

Ever since he learned that she went to the eastern suburbs of the city, he has been uneasy and even forgot about changing the dressing.

"Come on, I'll help you change it." He gently took her hand and walked to the bed together. He took out the medicine box from the closet, carefully unwrapped the old bandage, then carefully applied new medicine, and finally wrapped it tightly with a clean bandage.

Watching her wrapping the bandages around her waist with concentration, Xiao Zhan felt a warm feeling in his heart. It was so precious to have a partner who cared for him wholeheartedly.

Unable to help himself, he gently kissed the top of her head, then held her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and gave her a deep and long kiss.

As night falls, the curtains sway in the wind. Although there is a chill outside, the house is warm and cozy, as if spring is heart-warming.

The next three days passed quickly and slowly. During this period, Jiang Xue was busy all day and even neglected to have meals with Xiao Zhan.

"Huh?" When the letter in her hand was suddenly taken away, Jiang Xue looked up and saw Xiao Zhan's slightly angry eyes.

"Let's eat first, the food is getting cold." He put the letter aside and served her a bowl of hot soup. "This is the black chicken soup specially made by the imperial kitchen. Have some first."

Xiao Zhan was very uneasy when he noticed her cold fingers. So he asked her to sit on his lap and use his body temperature to keep her warm. He knew autumn was coming and she was always afraid of the cold.

In the past few days, she had been busy taking care of Qu Shang's affairs, not only leaving him aside, but sometimes even forgetting to eat.

If he hadn't finished his official business early and returned last night to find the table full of untouched cold dishes and rice, he really wouldn't have known that she didn't care about herself so much.

"One more thing. After you read it, I will..." Before she could finish her words, the dissatisfaction in Xiao Zhan's eyes made Jiang Xue stop talking.

"Okay, I'll eat." She sighed. Although he would never lose his temper with her no matter what, his attitude today was unusually firm.

"Your body is weak to begin with, so you should pay more attention to your diet." Doctor Li had specifically reminded him not long ago to take good care of her diet and health.

"Doctor Li has never been so concerned about my diet before. Why did he start talking to you about this recently?" Jiang Xue asked puzzledly.

Jiang Xue picked up the bowl of black chicken soup, with a thin layer of oil floating on the surface. Her good appetite disappeared instantly. She frowned and stared at the bowl of soup, as if she hoped it would disappear out of thin air.

"What's wrong? Is it hot?" Seeing that she was taking a long time to move, Xiao Zhan thought that the soup was too hot.

He scooped a spoonful and tasted it. The temperature and taste were just right, so he scooped another spoonful and handed it to Jiang Xue: "Be good, drink it while it's hot. Doctor Li said it's good for your health."

"I really have no appetite." Jiang Xue shook her head and refused, avoiding the spoon that was handed to her. For some reason, as soon as she smelled the chicken soup, she felt a tightness in her chest and really didn't want to drink it.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Zhan did not insist and picked some other dishes for her, but found that she would not touch anything with a meaty taste, but she ate a lot of the sour side dishes.

"It's getting cold, don't eat too much cold food." Seeing that she had finished three dishes and her chopsticks were reaching for the fourth dish, Xiao Zhan quickly held her hand and poured her a cup of hot tea. He was worried that she would hurt her stomach if she continued like this, and he would feel bad too.

"Oh." Although she wanted to continue eating, she knew it was for her own good, so she had to give up. She took the hot tea and drank it, feeling warm in her stomach, very comfortable.

After the meal, Xiao Zhan asked in confusion: "Has your taste changed so much recently?"

"Maybe I want to change my taste." She answered while looking at a letter intently.

Jiang Xue felt that this was just a temporary aversion to greasy food, and perhaps she would return to normal after some time.

Then, she handed the letter to Xiao Zhan, pointed to a place and said, "Do you think there is anything wrong with the layout here?"

Xiao Zhan examined her carefully and immediately understood her intention: "You are trying to set a trap for Qu Shang."

When Jiang Xue mentioned this name, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes: "He killed so many of my relatives and friends, I will never let him go easily."

Xiao Zhan nodded and pointed out the key point: "The first task is to get rid of his life-saving card - Lu Linyi. She is your cousin, you definitely don't want her to get hurt, so rescuing her is the core of the plan.
