Princess Duanhui insisted on staying and waiting for Bai Qiuze to wake up. Bai Tingxuan wanted to know what had happened to Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong in Nanman these days, so he let her go.

When the three of them arrived at Bai Tingxuan's tent, Bai Tingxuan couldn't wait to ask, "Ayuan, how have you been these days? I received a letter from Wei Chi, and I know something about your situation in Nanman."

Then he looked at his daughter with proud eyes and said, "Our Ayuan has grown up, brave and resourceful, just like my daughter Bai Tingxuan!"

Bai Zhiyuan chuckled, "Father, you're too kind. I was able to escape this time thanks to General Xie."

Bai Tingxuan knew very well that his daughter wanted him to trust Xie Yunsong more.

He turned to Xie Yunsong and said, "Thank you, General!"

Xie Yunsong waved his hand and said, "I dare not. This time, it was Ayuan who was decisive and brave enough to successfully obtain the antidote."

Bai Tingxuan added: "I received Wei Chi's pigeon letter yesterday."

Hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that Wei Chi is fine. I was worried that if we made such a fuss in the Nanman Palace, Wei Chi would be exposed."

Bai Tingxuan handed Bai Zhiyuan a letter while speaking, "Wei Chi is fine. This is his letter. Take a look."

Bai Zhiyuan took the letter, read it quickly, and handed it to Xie Yunsong.

Her heart unconsciously became heavy.

Wei Chi said in the letter: "He escaped because of his injuries. At present, he has not been exposed. But Chang Ma and Xiao Tao have been executed because they had contact with Bai Zhiyuan. Fortunately, they did not know Bai Zhiyuan's true identity, and Heba Yun did not get any useful information."

"After Heba Yun buried He Xiaowan, he arranged a marriage for himself, and he will inherit the throne in the next few days."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered, "This Heba Yun, He Xiaowan has raised a poisonous snake for him for so many years. He endured humiliation and had already thought of a way out. I think even without me, he would have found a way to kill He Xiaowan."

"Now he puts all the blame on me, and he has become the new king of the Nanman."

Xie Yunsong also said: "His background destined him to be more than just a prince without desires. Over the years, he has been by He Xiaowan's side and has already learned all kinds of tricks. In the past, when He Xiaowan was around, he might have been a little cautious, but now he can finally show all his strength."

After hearing what they said, Bai Tingxuan said, "Ayuan, Wei Chi said in the letter that Heba Yun has never given up looking for you. If this continues, he will sooner or later find out that it was you who sneaked into the palace."

Bai Zhiyuan didn't care at all and said, "Don't worry, father. I think he will find out it was me soon."

Bai Tingxuan asked in confusion: "Why?"

Bai Zhiyuan replied: "Before He Xiaowan died, she had already guessed my identity. He Xiaowan is indeed smart and a rare opponent. Based on just a few words from me, she concluded that I wanted the antidote, and that I was probably from Dali, and perhaps related to my brother."

"I think that Heba Yun will soon find out that I have come to the southern border by following this clue, and will also soon find out that it is me who has intruded into the southern barbarians."

"He wanted to find me because I knew his secret. In this world, besides him, I was the only one who saw him kill his sister, the princess of the Nanman, He Xiaowan. He wanted to find me because he was worried that I would spread his secret."

"But if he knew my identity, he might not worry. I am the Princess of Rong'an County of Dali. Breaking into the Nanman Palace is already a surprise. And less trouble is worse than more trouble. I will not seek trouble and spread this matter. Even if we take a step back, this is an internal conflict in their Nanman Palace, and it has nothing to do with me, a person from the enemy country."

Bai Tingxuan thought for a moment and said, "Ayuan means that you don't have to deliberately hide your identity? Heba Yun will be relieved only when he knows your true identity."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Father, don't worry about him. If he wants to investigate, let him investigate. Whether he can find out depends on his ability. We don't need to care about him."

Xie Yunsong continued, "Ayuan is right. He is just an insignificant person. General Bai doesn't need to worry."

"But now, He Xiaowan is dead, the new king of Nanman has just taken office, and the political situation is unstable. I think now is the best time to recover the southern border."

"Without He Xiaowan's poison array, I think the Southern Border Army will surely win a great victory."

Bai Tingxuan said seriously: "General Xie is indeed a young talent, and he thinks the same as me."

"Qiu'er hasn't woken up yet. Even if he does, he will need time to recover. This battle is important, so I decided to go into battle myself."

Bai Zhiyuan was surprised for a moment. As far as she knew, her father had not been on the battlefield in person for a long time. As he got older, his health deteriorated, and he was naturally not as capable of charging into battle as the young men.

She thought for a moment and said, "My father is a general. It is natural for him to be present in such an important battle."

Bai Tingxuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "I thought Ah Yuan would not agree to father going."

Bai Zhiyuan: "How could father think like this? I don't understand war. I naturally hope that father can be safe, but someone has to charge into battle. It's not father's nature to hide. Father is like daughter. Will you not do something if he doesn't allow you to do it?"

After hearing this, Bai Tingxuan smiled. Yes, his daughter looks like him, and no one can change what he has decided.

Xie Yunsong watched the interaction between the father and daughter and felt envious. He had never felt such support and love from his family. When he was a teenager, his father was always strict with him, and he could only see his mother once a year. In his memory, he had never had a calm conversation with his father like Bai Zhiyuan did.

Xie Yunsong looked at the father and daughter who were talking and laughing in front of him, collected his thoughts, and said: "The emperor ordered me to come to the southern border to help. I will fight with General Bai in this battle to help the general recover the southern border."

Bai Tingxuan nodded and said, "With the help of General Yun Hui, we will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were bright and shining. She turned her head and looked at Xie Yunsong intently. Xie Yunsong also felt her gaze and looked back at her, with love faintly revealed in his eyes.

Bai Tingxuan looked at the loving appearance of the two and became more and more satisfied with Xie Yunsong.

At this moment, a soldier came hurriedly to report, "General, the deputy general has woken up."

Bai Zhiyuan and Bai Tingxuan stood up suddenly at the same time, overjoyed, and strode out, followed closely by Xie Yunsong.

When Bai Zhiyuan arrived at Bai Qiuze's tent, she heard her mother, Princess Duanhui, sobbing. Her heart tightened, thinking something unexpected had happened. She quickly opened the door and walked in, only to see her mother crying with joy, and her brother comforting her.

Bai Zhiyuan slowed down her pace, not daring to blink, fearing that all this was just a dream. When she was finally about to reach her brother's bed, Bai Qiuze also noticed her.

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes shed a few crystal tears, and she pursed her lips tightly. Bai Qiuze was surprised when he saw his sister, and then a pleasant smile appeared on his face. He looked at his sister who was trying hard to hold back her tears and reached out his hand to her.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Bai Qiuze and burst into tears. The worry and anxiety of these days were finally released at this moment.

Bai Qiuze just woke up and didn’t know what happened or why his sister came to the Southern Territory. Didn’t they say before that she sneaked away to the Northern Territory?

Moreover, he saw Xie Yunsong following behind his father. What was going on?

Before Bai Qiuze could think clearly, Bai Zhiyuan raised his head from his arms with red eyes, looked at him carefully again, and then turned to Cheng Beixiao and said, "Master Cheng, has my brother's poison been cured?"

Cheng Beixiao flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't worry about my medical skills. They will be cleared up naturally. He just woke up and is weak. I will take good care of him."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this.

Bai Qiuze understood that he had made everyone worried because of his poisoning. His sister must have rushed to the South Territory because of her poisoning. He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry for making everyone worried. I'm fine now."

After saying that, he touched his sister's head again.

Bai Zhiyuan burst into laughter, looking at Bai Qiuze who had become lively again, and then at his parents who felt relieved, he felt extremely grateful to God for allowing their family to be reunited.
