Jin and Mrs. Chen San looked at each other, and the two of them hurried to boil the medicine.

Xiao Zhenzhen tugged at Chen Xinyan: "Shall we help collect firewood and start a fire?"

Chen Xinyan nodded, and the two of them went to help.

"Third sister, third sister, you have to be well. You must hold on. If you die, won't your enemies be proud... Ah, wuwu... I can't bear to leave you..."

Xie Fanjin was busy and sweating profusely, while Chen Xinyuan hugged Chen Xinxiu and cried loudly.

Xie Fanjin couldn't bear to watch it anymore: "Don't play the sisterly love game to me. You can't bear to give up the few cents she gives you every day. Be quiet, or I will be rude to you!"

Chen Xinyuan sniffed: "Am I the kind of person you said?"

Xie Fanjin said nothing, but only gave Chen Xinyuan a sharp look. Chen Xinyuan immediately felt guilty and muttered softly, "We are sisters after all..."

At this time, Wang Tiezhu's gong sounded: "Hurry up, hurry up, we have to reach Nuanshui Town before dark!"

The Chen and Qian families packed up their things and prepared to set off.

Xiao Yanxi walked over and said, "Someone in our team is seriously ill, so we'll be delayed for a while."

Zhang Tiezhu's face turned grim: "Mr. Xiao, you should talk to the Second Prince about this matter. We can't make the decision."

Xiao Yanchen's carriage had already started its journey. In the carriage, he was holding a note and was not in his senses for a long time.

The envoys from Nanyue are coming to Dongling, and their team will happen to have a face-to-face encounter with Nanyue. If he can win over Nanyue, it will be just a matter of time before he takes that position.

When he thought of this, Xiao Yanchen felt extremely excited.

"Your Highness, please have some tea."

Shen Anan handed over a cup of tea, and Xiao Yanchen just threw the note into the incense burner.

Tea spilled on the back of Xiao Yanchen's hand. Shen Anan screamed and was immediately at a loss: "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay? I didn't mean it..."

She had followed Xiao Yanchen for so long that she had come to realize that although Xiao Yanchen appeared gentle on the surface, his methods were actually despicable.

At least even though Xiao Yanxi's methods were ruthless, they were open and aboveboard. But Xiao Yanchen was different. He might smile at you on the surface, but he could stab you in secret.

She was ready to be punished by Xiao Yanchen. Xiao Yanchen wiped the red back of her hand with a handkerchief, took the tea from her hand, and said in a surprisingly gentle tone: "Are your injuries feeling better?"

Shen Anan was a little flattered. Ever since she was kicked off the carriage by Xiao Yanchen, Xiao Yanchen had never given him a good face.

Today she permed Xiao Yanchen, but she didn't expect that Xiao Yanchen was not angry at all, but instead cared about her.

"I am much better now. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Xiao Yanchen held Shen Anan's hand and said, "You have been wronged these days. If you want something, I will ask someone to buy it for you."

Shen Anan was touched and leaned on Xiao Yanchen's shoulder: "I don't want anything. As long as I can be with His Highness, I will be satisfied."

Xiao Yanchen pinched Shen Anan's chin, looked at her face, and wanted to do something else.

Shen Anan was ready to respond when the voice of a guard suddenly came from outside.

"Your Highness..."

Xiao Yanchen let go of Shen Anan and lifted the car curtain: "What's the matter?"

The guard said, "Young Master Xiao's team didn't catch up. They said Miss Chen San was poisoned."

Something flashed in Shen Anan's eyes: "No way, how could she be poisoned? Is she deliberately trying to delay the trip?"

Xiao Yanchen: "Pass on my order, tell them to leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

As long as Chen Xinxiu died, he could shift the blame to Xie Fanjin and let Xie Fanjin pay with his life. It would be bad if Xie Fanjin really saved Chen Xinxiu.

The guard responded and immediately went to pass on the message.

Xie Fanjin glanced at the guard and said, "Her life is hanging by a thread and she can't move, so we can't travel any further for the time being."

The guard's face turned grim: "How dare you disobey His Highness's words? You are really courting death!"

After the guard finished speaking, more than a dozen people surrounded him.

Xiao Yanxi and Bingyi held sticks in their hands and protected Xie Fanjin behind them.

Xiao Zhenzhen asked with red eyes: "Second brother, why are you in such a hurry to get going? After all, human lives are at stake. If it really doesn't work, can we just keep going a little longer at night?"

Xiao Yanxi looked around at the guards with a cold expression: "There are so many people watching. If this gets out of hand and gets to the emperor's ears, the Second Prince's reputation will be in jeopardy."

The captain of the guards in the lead had a sullen expression on his face: "Mr. Xiao, you are nothing but an exiled criminal now. What big talk are you making? I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten who you are, right?"

The guards behind him laughed sarcastically and did not take Xiao Yanxi seriously at all.

Seeing that the group had no intention of leaving, the leading guard captain Lin Feng's eyes fell on a pot of boiling medicine not far away.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

When Mrs. Chen San saw him coming, she quickly protected the medicine jar behind her.

Lin Feng pushed Mrs. Chen San aside and said, "What are you doing? Didn't you hear me telling you to hurry up?"

As he spoke, he raised his leg to kick over the medicine jar in front of him. Jin quickly blocked it and was kicked by Lin Feng.

Jin ignored the pain in her body and said earnestly, "Sir, this is life-saving medicine. Please be kind and wait until the patient's condition stabilizes before continuing your journey!"

"What life-saving medicine? I think it's just an excuse for you not to hurry on!"

As Lin Feng was about to destroy the medicine jar, Xiao Yanxi poked Lin Feng's shoulder with the stick in his hand and said, "If you dare to do anything wrong again, I will kill you!"

Lin Feng was not only not afraid, he even laughed: "Mr. Xiao, your life is not as valuable as mine now. After all, I am also serving the court, and you, not to mention being an exiled waste..."

Before he could finish his words, the stick in Xiao Yanxi's hand was pressed against Lin Feng's neck.

Lin Feng's smug expression froze, and he instantly felt a little scared.

At this moment, Doctor Zhang came over with a medicine box: "Alright, alright, everyone disperse, Your Highness, let me see the patient!"

Xiao Yanchen took in the situation here clearly, and knew that it was impossible to ask Xie Fanjin to abandon Chen Xinxiu and hurry on his way.

If he continued to insist, the matter would become a big deal and he would be embarrassed, so he asked Doctor Zhang to come over.

Just as Doctor Zhang was about to approach Chen Xinxiu, Xie Fanjin stabbed him directly with a silver needle.

"Xie Fanjin, I'm here to see her, what are you doing?"

Xie Fanjin sneered: "I didn't eat your poisonous cake before, and now you want to start with Chen Xinxiu, no way."

Doctor Zhang looked aggrieved: "What are you talking about? This girl is so young and her life is in danger. I am just trying to help her out of kindness. How can you misunderstand me? Everyone, please help me!"

Lin Feng took a step back and Xiao Yanxi retracted the stick.

Lin Feng had no intention of letting it go. He walked towards Doctor Zhang and was about to pull out the silver needle from his body. However, as soon as he raised his hand, he was also injected with a needle.

"Thank you Fanjin!" He gritted his teeth.

Xie Fanjin walked up to Lin Feng and looked him up and down. "I know everything you're planning, so it's impossible for you to harm Chen Xinxiu and me, unless the Second Prince lets everyone see his ruthlessness and directly orders us to be killed."

Therefore, the second prince's conspiracy and intrigue basically could not escape Xie Fanjin's eyes.

Doctor Zhang and Lin Feng were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads, but they couldn't think of a solution.

Xiao Yanchen had no other choice. He couldn't just order someone to kill them both.

Xie Fanjin said calmly, "If the Second Prince wants to continue playing the role of a good guy, why not send someone to investigate why Chen Xinxiu was poisoned, find the culprit, and punish her severely."

Xiao Yanchen was still being led by Xie Fanjin. After a while, Tu Ma Ma came over and said, "His Highness has ordered Captain Lin to find out who poisoned that girl."

Xie Fanjin took back the silver needle from Lin Feng's body. Lin Feng's body swayed and he finally stood firm.

"Did you see anyone poison Chen Xinxiu?"

Lin Feng asked directly, almost asking if anyone saw who the person who poisoned was.

He didn't expect anyone to answer him, but Xie Fanjin slowly said, "I saw Madam Chen poison Chen Xinxiu."

Mrs. Chen, who had been paying attention to the situation here, was so excited that her heart almost jumped out of her chest after hearing what Xie Fanjin said.

"Xie Fanjin, you are slandering me. When did I poison her?"
