Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

two days later

Bai Xianxian brought her people alone and drove a horse-drawn carriage out of the city. They found a river and sat by the river fishing. The breeze blew on their faces, feeling very cool.

"Sister Bai, why didn't you bring Dong'er here today?"

"…She had some things to do and couldn't get away, so I came here by myself. Is it that Xiaoxiao would rather play with her than with me?"

Ning Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, I'm just curious. You two have always been inseparable, so I just asked casually. Don't be angry, Sister Bai."

"Well, I'm not angry. Let's go fishing. We'll have this for lunch. By the way, have you decided on a wedding date? Don't forget to treat me to a drink when the time comes."

"Oh, that hasn't been decided yet. Grandpa and grandma are still choosing a date. It would be best to wait until Sister Li and the others come back. We want to get married before them, so it has to be a good day."

"Taking all this into consideration, it's not an easy day to choose."

Bai Xianxian smiled and said, "That's right. Mr. Mo is the elder brother, so he should get married before his younger brother. Just think about it, it's not easy to choose a date. It's enough to give them a headache."

Ning Xiaoxiao held her chin with both hands, looking a little worried: "Yeah, time is really tight, we are all busy as hell, and Mo Lin is nowhere to be seen. No, that's not right, I'm the one with the least time."

"Puchi, you are the bride, so naturally you don't have to do anything. Someone will embroider the wedding dress, but it would definitely be better if you could embroider it yourself."

"No, I can't do that. If you rely on me to embroider, people will laugh at you if the news gets out. The mandarin ducks I embroidered are just a black mass, and you can't tell what they are at all."

Bai Xianxian couldn't help but look in one direction and quickly turned her head: "Really? Then let someone else do it. There's no need to make it too difficult for yourself."

"Oh, there's a fish on the hook."

He slowly reeled in the line and swung it hard, and a fish weighing several kilograms was thrown up. Ning Xiaoxiao ran over happily and picked up the fish with a happy smile on her face: "Look, I caught the first one, it's so big."

"Haha, Xiaoxiao is really capable. This one is enough for both of us. There is no need to rush to fish later. Why don't we walk around and see if there are any delicious fruits and pick some to bring back."

Ning Xiaoxiao nodded, pierced the fish's gills with grass, hung it in a cool place, and would come back to deal with it later.

Bai Xianxian vaguely led the people towards the ruined temple, estimated the distance, took out the water bag and handed it over: "Xiaoxiao, you must be thirsty, come and drink some water."

"Okay, thank you Sister Bai."

Without any precaution, he took the water bag and drank from it in big gulps. After finishing it, he put the stopper back and handed it back.

All the way, her attention was attracted by the berries on the roadside and she didn't notice that Bai Xianxian was just holding the water bag on the road and didn't drink a sip at all.

Bai Xianxian looked up at the sun and estimated the time in her mind. She felt that it was about time, so she found a reason and left before the effect of the medicine took effect. Ning Xiaoxiao walked and walked, feeling more and more dizzy.

I felt very hot and called out to Sister Bai several times, but no one responded.

He staggered forward, found a corner, leaned against the wall and slid down to the ground, curled up and shivered: "It's so cold... It's so hot..."

the other side

Dong'er asked the little beggar to deliver the note to Molin, hid in the dark, watched him ride his horse away in a hurry, and then walked away silently.

Mo Lin ran all the way towards the ruined temple. Before he got close, he heard a woman crying. The familiar voice startled him and he quickened his pace.

When he arrived, he saw the beggars surrounding him and vaguely heard the sound of clothes being torn. He flew out and kicked people away one by one. He looked at the person at the innermost part, who had tears and blood in his eyes and a hollow look in his eyes.

He held a hairpin in his hand, and no matter who approached, he would hit them with the hairpin. His hands were already stained with blood, and his cheeks were frighteningly red. It was obvious that something was wrong.

Ning Xiaoxiao noticed that someone was approaching and shouted, "Don't come over here. I'm the little princess. If you dare to touch me, I will tear you into pieces."

Mo Lin felt as if something was pulling at his heart, he couldn't breathe due to the pain. He moved closer and stretched out his hand to take her home, but a hairpin fell in front of him and he subconsciously raised his hand to hold it.

The palm of his hand was pierced and blood was dripping.

"Xiaoxiao, it's me, Mo Lin. I'm here to take you home."

Ning Xiaoxiao shook her head, with a look of resistance: "No, you are not my Mo Lin, this is all an illusion, it must be an illusion, I will kill you."

Mo Lin didn't care about anything else. He reached out and knocked the man unconscious. He took off his clothes, wrapped the man up, flew away, and ran towards the city. Saving people was the most important thing first. He would come back to take the lives of these beggars later.

All the way to Ning'an Marquis Mansion, he briefly explained the matter. Looking at their solemn expressions, Mo Lin said worriedly: "Xiaoxiao, someone must have plotted against you. It is important to detoxify you first."

"Okay, go call the court doctor."

a moment later

The court doctor frowned and said, "Madam, can you please have a word with me for a moment?"

The three of them came to the side room, and the palace doctor shook his head: "Young lady's condition can only be cured by being with a man... This poison is too strong. If young lady delays for too long, she will bleed from all seven orifices and die."

"You guys hurry up. I can only delay half an hour with my silver needles. After half an hour, if there is no man to sleep with you, you will die."

The Marquis thought for a moment and said, "Madam, let Mo Lin come and inform the Mo family about this matter. The wedding date should be moved up, preferably within three months, so that if Xiaoxiao gets pregnant, it won't be too embarrassing."

"Okay, let's do as the Marquis says. The most important thing is to save Xiaoxiao's life first. As for the person who plotted against us, we will find out the truth and settle the accounts with him slowly."

Mo Lin was dragged to change into wedding clothes, and the room was decorated. He walked towards her step by step. He had heard from the Marquis that Xiaoxiao's situation could only be saved by consummating the marriage.

Then..., it would only make Xiaoxiao feel wronged. He reached out to untie her clothes. His hands were shaking and sweat began to appear on his forehead. This was his first time to untie a girl's clothes. Why were there so many straps?

Half a day passed and he called for water several times. Mo Lin looked at the sleeping person, let out a long breath, lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and touched his rumbling stomach.

He had food brought over and he fed it to the person on the bed, mouthful by mouthful, then ate his own food. He cleaned the person, washed up briefly, and then fell asleep holding the person in his arms. He was also a little tired.

This poison is really overbearing. I'll take a nap first and deal with it after I have figured it out. I really don't have much strength now.

Early next morning

Ning Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in a daze. Her whole body ached and she couldn't move her fingers. She felt like someone was trapping her in someone's arms. She couldn't help but raise her head, but everything in front of her was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.

Is she... blind?

The memories came back to her and the scenes before she fell asleep flashed in her mind. She couldn't help but tremble all over. Her face turned pale and she clenched her fists but didn't have the strength to punch.
