An Chen helped Chen Xu up and fed him water. Chen Xu reached out to take the cup himself, but was stopped by An Chen. Chen Xu then realized that something was stuck in his hand. He looked at the prince.

An Chen told him: "You haven't eaten for many days. The princess gave you some nutrient solution to save your life first. The soup I had someone make for you has been kept warm. Now that you've woken up, I'll have someone bring some over."

Chen Xu nodded. The steward personally brought the soup over, and he fed Chen Xu spoonful by spoonful. He gradually gained more strength, and his throat was not so dry. He tried to call "Prince", but it was still a little hoarse. An Chen told him not to talk for now, drink the soup and go back to sleep, and talk about it tomorrow. The nutrient solution was just finished, Xu Zhen pulled out the needle, put away the things, and left with An Chen. After the steward settled Chen Xu, he went out and closed the door. Chen Xu felt like he was still in a dream, he was still not in good spirits, and fell asleep after a while.

The next day, Chen Xu finally woke up and confirmed that he was really saved by the prince. He could make a sound with his throat. He tried to get up, but his head was heavy and he couldn't sit up. He asked the guards outside to help him go to the toilet.

Another guard went to tell An Chen that Chen Xu had woken up. "That's great. Give him two more bottles of nutrient solution. Take good care of his body over the next few days. Don't let him get sick at such a young age."

"Okay, it's all up to you!"

The two came to Chen Xu's room. An Chen motioned him to lie down and not move. Xu Zhen took out the infusion set and nutrient solution. She hung the nutrient solution on the shelf next to her, squatted down and without saying a word, she grabbed Chen Xu's hand and inserted the needle at once, and fixed the needle skillfully. Chen Xu only felt a pain, and when he reacted, the needle was already fixed. He was confused and wanted to ask, but as a soldier, he completely obeyed the prince's orders before he explained. He knew that the prince would only treat him well. Last night, the guard gave him the medicine given by Xu Zhen, and his throat felt much better.

Xu Zhen handed him a throat lozenge and asked him to hold it in his mouth. It felt cool and comfortable.

Xu Zhen asked: "What did you eat this morning?"

Chen Xu: "Rice porridge."

Xu Zhen: "Sure, you can eat normally once your throat feels better."

Chen Xu: "Thank you, Princess."

"You guys chat, I'll go check out the surveillance on Little Bee."

An Chen: "Okay, just look at it on the table at the door."

Xu Zhen: "Okay, you guys chat. There's another bottle of water, call me when this one is gone."

An Chen watched Xu Zhen sit down at the table, took out the surveillance camera to check, then turned back and sat on the chair beside the bed.

Chen Xu whispered, "The prince finally got it."

"She is very good, and she is worth my life."

Chen Xu was surprised, "It seems there are many stories."

An Chen's face was filled with happiness. "You'll know later."

Chen Xu nodded, and the two of them got back to the topic.

Chen Xu investigated all the way to Dongfu City. That day, he and his men were preparing to enter the city for a secret investigation, and they found the grain cart of the second prince at the city gate. The gatekeeper thought that the second prince's men were transporting grain, so they let it pass without checking. They followed all the way, and the cart entered a dilapidated courtyard and never came out again. There were experts guarding outside the courtyard, so we didn't dare to go in. We waited outside for 6 days, and only saw people and carriages go in, but never came out. We felt strange, because ordinary tunnels can only accommodate people, and so many carriages were gone, so we decided to find an opportunity to go in and take a look.

On the seventh day, another team of carriages and horses came. We secretly attacked a few people, changed into their clothes and entered the courtyard until we entered the cave behind the courtyard. Just when we were celebrating our luck, we were surrounded. They didn't believe we could get out at all, so they didn't hide it from us and took out the boats from the wall in front of us. The water surface of the underground river was wide enough, so they lifted the "wall" on the side and put it on two small boats, then blindfolded the horses and drove the horses and carriages up together. The river was not rushing, and the boats could move forward steadily on it. "

"I see. Why are you the only one left in the cave?"

"We replaced a few of their men. They said that there were not enough people on the ship, so they fed my men medicine and took them on board. I heard a few people talking at the entrance of the cave. They were all Anguo people. General Sun asked them to send strong men when transporting supplies. These people must be fed medicine. They didn't want any official, no matter how big or small, so I was tied up in the cave and waited to die."

"Do you think the General Sun they are talking about is Sun Mao?"

"Yes, I saw someone who looked like one of his men. I looked at him a few more times and he hid away out of guilt."

"How many days have they been gone since last time?"

"At least seven days. The light in the cave was dim and I often fainted. At first I was tied to a big rock. I don't know what medicine they gave me. When I woke up I was groggy and couldn't remember anything. I was so thirsty that I slowly broke free from the rope tied to the rock and drank water from the puddle under my feet. There was nothing to eat, only water to drink every day. I gradually lost my strength. I guess the effect of the medicine wore off. I gradually remembered some things. I heard them say that I had to wait for seven days, otherwise these people would be in trouble. I guess the effect of the medicine only lasts for seven days."

"It's really abominable. The people who stole Lao Er's food must have colluded with Xishu. We explored along the underground river, and this river leads directly to the deep mountains and old forests of Dongyi. Lao Er was found in those mountains."

"Have you found the second prince? That's good. As long as he's safe, we can always find out who's behind it."

"Sun Mao is currently in the deep mountains and forests. Based on what you have discovered, it is certain that he is plotting a rebellion. I just don't know who is behind this? An Guo's people are in the mountains of Dong Yi, and they are colluding with the people of Xi Shu. This is a big and interesting game."

"The batch of food I saw was probably sent to the deep mountains of Dongyi. Your Majesty, I will rest for another day. Give me a few more people tomorrow and we will go into the mountains to look for it."

"Don't worry, they can't run away, let's suppress the rumors first."

"Does the prince have a solution?"

"I have sent someone to get the Book of the People. The grain seeds have not been distributed yet. The people have nothing to eat. The treasury is empty now. I guess we have to wait a few days."

"You take a rest for a while, we'll go back first. Call me if you need anything."

"it is good"

Xu Zhen saw An Chen coming over and asked, "Is it time to change?"

"The needles were all removed. He showed Xu Zhen the things he had packed."

Xu Zhen took the things away and praised: "Did you pull them out? That's amazing!"

An Chen smiled proudly. He picked up the monitor with one hand and held Xu Zhen's hand with the other. "Let's go. Things here are almost done. Let's take a rest today and return to Beijing early tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

After the two men left, Chen Xu fell asleep again. He had to recover as soon as possible and return to Beijing with the prince and others tomorrow.

After lunch, Xu Zhen gave Chen Xu some medicine to restore her strength, and An Chen came with her for the infusion. After sleeping for a whole morning, Chen Xu felt more energetic. He thought about what he had said in the morning and asked if there was any other way to deal with An Chen, but An Chen shook his head.
