After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

The carriage traveled for nearly an hour before arriving at a small mountain village outside the city. Zhong Ning got off the carriage and followed the secret guards through twists and turns for another quarter of an hour before arriving at a farmyard at the foot of the mountain.

Hei Lie was chopping wood in the yard at this time.

It was said that there should be three children in this house, but there was no sign of them. When Zhong Ning stepped into the yard, Hei Lie came over to greet him immediately.

"Where is Xiao Yuner?" Zhong Ning asked.

Hei Lie pointed to the mud-tiled house that was leaking a bit and said, "Your Highness and the others are injured. After applying medicine, they have been resting in their rooms. I dare not disturb them!"

"Hmm..." Zhong Ning nodded slightly, "You've worked hard. I'll go see him."

Zhong Ning took the food box from the secret guard. When he passed by Hei Lie, he saw a blush on Hei Lie's slightly dark face. He lowered his eyebrows and respectfully watched Zhong Ning walk into the room.

He didn't look away until Zhong Ning's figure was submerged in the shadows of the room.

Did your Highness praise him just now?

This is an affirmation!

For Hei Lie, very few people would say such affirmation to his face.

But Your Highness is different.

She is never stingy with praise for her subordinates.

And it was in the midst of such praise that Hei Lie was reluctant to leave, even though he knew that he came to His Highness because of the Chinese medicine.

Because Her Highness said that in that situation, in order not to endanger his life, she could only use this method.

Now that the drug's effects have worn off, he can come and go freely.

If you don't want to stay with her anymore, you can just go on to other places.

As long as he doesn't commit any crime, she won't pursue the matter.

Only then did Hei Lie understand the deep meaning of His Highness at that time. After all, they were at fault at that time and were ordered to encircle and suppress His Highness. Except for him, most of them had died at the hands of His Highness.

And it was precisely because of his martial arts skills that he had a chance to survive.

Your Highness, you have never treated him unfairly.

He later consulted several doctors privately, but none of them found any signs of poisoning in his body.

It can be seen that although His Highness used some means at that time, he did not really want to take his life. This was one of the reasons why he later decided to stay.

Hei Lie had no idea that although Zhong Ning gave them detoxifying water and released their sanity, half of the drug's properties were still hidden in their bodies.

This half of the medicinal properties will consciously affect their view of the master, blurring the master's original behavior and beautifying the master's life-saving grace.

After all, that half of the detoxifying water only serves to restore their sanity.

This is also the reason why Zhong Ning would still use them even if he had detoxified them halfway.

in the room.

Three young men were lying sideways on a dilapidated wooden bed.

Murong Yun, Zhou Mo and Jin Bao.

All three of them were injured, and even when they were sleeping, they couldn't help but frown, which showed that their injuries were serious.

Especially Murong Yun, not only did he have a frown on his face, but his face was also flushed.

Zhong Ning reached out and touched his forehead. Hiss, he had a fever.

I touched the other two and they both had a slight fever.

Zhong Ning poured two cups of warm water from the space, took out a box of fever-reducing tablets, fed one to each of them, and then took off his cloak and covered the three of them with it.

Then he walked out of the room and ordered the secret guard to find a doctor and prepare two thicker mattresses.

Hei Lie followed the instructions and started to make a fire and boil water.

He squatted on the ground in annoyance, fiddling with the firewood. From what His Highness had just said, he could probably tell that the three little guys in the room seemed to be sick.

He just thought that the three people needed to rest because of injuries, so after applying medicine, he left the room and stood guard outside.

But he never expected that being injured would usually cause fever. If His Highness had not come in time, wouldn't he have missed the big thing?

Thinking of this, Hei Lie knelt on the ground and apologized.

Zhong Ning did not blame him. After all, he had been guarding Murong Yun all the way and had not slept a wink yet. The red bloodshot eyes showed that he was tired.

Ultimately, this matter was due to her negligence.

She only wanted to make Murong Yun suffer, and sent secret guards to guard him all the time.

But unexpectedly, Murong Yun was weak.

I suddenly suffered many injuries and suffered torture in the dungeon for a whole night. I finally escaped. I wonder if my body can withstand it.

She was too anxious to let him see the evil in this world.

That’s why the current situation has occurred.

From this we can see that the main cause of this incident is still herself.

Thinking this, Zhong Ning stayed by Murong Yun's side and took better care of him.

An hour later, Murong Yun opened his eyes from the warmth. Seeing that Zhong Ning had been staying by his side, he pouted and threw himself into Zhong Ning's arms in grievance.

"Wuwu...Sister..." Murong Yun cried intermittently, his throat was hoarse. Zhong Ning patted his back, then brought the warm water that was set aside and handed it to his mouth.

"Drink some water first, okay?"

Murong Yun sobbed and began to drink water from Zhong Ning's hand. The warm and refreshing water instantly slid down his dry throat.

Just as Murong Yun was falling asleep, Jin Bao and Zhou Bao also woke up one after another.

Especially Jin Bao, when he saw Zhong Ning taking care of Murong Yun so gently, his eyes immediately turned red, "Mother, I want mother..."

Zhong Ning let go of Murong Yun, turned around and went out to get two more bowls of hot water, then returned to the room, blew on the water in the bowls again and again, and added some internal force to make the hot water cool down faster.

Then he came to the bed and handed over two bowls of water one after another.

Zhou Mo took the bowl of water and whispered a thank you.

Jin Bao raised his aggrieved little face and looked at Zhong Ning eagerly.

Oh, forget it, this one is even smaller than Murong Yun.

Just after feeding Xiao Jinbao some water, Murong Yun called out, "This is my sister..."

Jin Bao drank some water and nodded, his voice soft and sticky, "Sister..."

Zhong Ning rubbed his little head and said gently, "Well, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Little Jinbao wanted to cry again, his whole body ached...

Not long after, the doctor arrived, took the patient's pulse, and prescribed several medicines.

Zhong Ning ordered someone to take the prescription to get the medicine, and then took all three children to the carriage and returned to the city.

After the Li Mansion was raided, all the properties naturally became the property of the imperial court.

Zhong Ning bought five shops at low prices, and had the court post notices to auction off the others.

Among the shops she bought was Hongfu Inn.

Now is the perfect time to move in with my family and settle the three little kids down.

After they successfully checked into the inn and sat in the warm and comfortable bathtub to wash away their fatigue, Zhou Mo and Jin Bao truly realized that they were saved.

Murong Yun also sat in the bathtub with a blushing face, enjoying the warmth of the moment, until Zhong Ning knocked on the door to bring him some clean clothes.
