Shen Rou took out five hundred taels of silver and handed it to Gao Feng, saying, "Gao Feng, go buy some more food. The four of them are seriously injured and are recovering here. You guys should follow me to Jizhou."

"Princess, five hundred taels of silver is too much."

"Leave half the silver to them, and keep the rest with you. You won't be able to go out without silver."

"Thank you, Princess."

Everyone looked at Shen Rou with gratitude. The princess was humble and always considered everyone's interests. They were willing to work for such a master.

Su Yu bandaged the wound and came to Shen Rou. Gao Feng also bought a lot of dry food and water bags.

Shen Rou looked at Su Luo and the others and said, "Su Luo, Su Yu, you've followed Xiao Xue for a long time. The enemy must know you. So you and the injured guards should wait here for the prince to arrive. I will take Gao Feng and the other two to Jizhou first and contact them when the prince arrives."

"Tell the prince to be more careful. The person who kidnapped grandma might be in Jizhou."

"I obey my orders."

Shopkeeper Chen said worriedly, "Princess, it's too dangerous for the four of you to go to Jizhou. Why don't you wait a few days until the master arrives? It will be safer for you all to go to Jizhou together."

"The enemy asked me to go to Jizhou alone to rescue grandma and the others. Your Highness, please come with me. Grandma and the others are in greater danger. I will go and investigate the situation first, and we will discuss countermeasures with Your Highness when he arrives."

"Princess, please be careful. Send me a message if anything happens."

"Thank you, Manager Chen."

Shen Rou brought Gao Feng, Gao An and Zhou Yan with her. They rode their horses all the way across Youzhou and arrived at the border of Jizhou.

"Gao Feng, I'm going ahead. Stay away from me. If I don't contact you, don't contact me. The enemy is in the dark, and I'm in the light. They must be observing my every move."

"Princess, if there is any danger, please send a signal and I will rush over immediately."

"I won't send any signals. Even if you're taken away, don't act rashly. Just follow me quietly. I'll definitely find a way to contact you if I need anything."

"I obey my orders."

Shen Rou rode ahead and entered the city the next day. As soon as she entered the city, she came under other people's surveillance.

The two men were sitting in a roadside teahouse drinking tea when they saw Shen Rou appear. "Go inform the boss that Princess Furong has entered the city alone."

"Stay here and see if she brings anyone here. I'll go and notify the boss."

"it is good."

Shen Rou led her horse to the inn, asked for a room, told the waiter to bring up some food, and waited for the enemy to contact her.

Thinking of my grandma and my younger brothers and sisters being kidnapped, I felt both sad and angry. I would wait until my grandma was rescued and see how I would deal with them.

I stared at the food the waiter brought out, lost in thought. I wondered if my grandma and my younger siblings had any hot meals. It was freezing cold out there, and what if they got sick?

The grandmother and her grandchildren had been taken by men in black to Wuyi City, which was more than 200 miles away from Jizhou.

This is Rong Zhang's territory. He secretly raised 30,000 troops in the mountains of Wuyi City and wanted to build bombs here. With the bombs, he would be able to regain the throne in no time.

The grandparents and grandchildren were drugged along the way. When they woke up, they were given some food and then drugged again. After more than half a month, they finally arrived at the foot of a remote mountain outside Wuyi City.

The three men threw the unconscious grandparents on the bed. Shen Xue's head hit the wall and she groaned in pain and slowly woke up. She looked at the unfamiliar place and saw her grandmother and brother lying beside her. She hurriedly wanted to get up, but her hands and feet were tied, so she could only kneel and move to her grandmother's side.

Worried: "Grandma... Xiaonan..."

Grandma woke up and looked at Shen Xue in surprise: "Where is Xiaoxue?"

"Grandma, I don't know where this is. How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Grandma felt weak all over and said weakly, "I'm fine. Which damn bastards brought us here? What do they want to do?"

"I vaguely heard them asking my elder sister to come and rescue people, and I don't know what happened after that."

"They are not bandits who want your eldest sister to bring money to redeem her."

"They acted in a planned manner. That night, I saw that they were all highly skilled in martial arts. Ye Qing and Su Yu were both injured by them. How could such people be bandits?"

"Why didn't the bandits capture us and threaten your elder sister?"

"I do not know."

Shen Nan was leaning on his grandmother and still unconscious, his face flushed. Seeing this, Shen Xue hurriedly took his pulse and found out that he had a fever.

I was worried that grandma would get sick in this cold weather, so I quickly moved behind her to take your pulse. After taking her pulse, her face looked serious. Both grandma and brother are sick. What should I do?

"Xiaoxue, I'm fine. How's Xiaonan?"

"Grandma, you and Xiaonan are both sick."

"I've lived enough at my age, and Xiaonan is still young, so nothing must happen to her."

"Grandma, what are you talking about? I hope you will live a long life and watch us grow up."

"Grandma also wants to see you get married and start a family. I can explain to your mother when I go to the underworld, but it seems difficult now."

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll find a way."

Shen Xue looked around the room and saw nothing but a bed and some simple furniture. She couldn't save the person without medicinal herbs.

My grandmother and my brother are both sick, and I have to find a way to save them. Since they want to threaten my eldest sister with their lives, they definitely don't want anything to happen to my grandmother and my brother before my eldest sister comes.

She yelled, “Help! …Hurry up and help! My grandma and my brother are sick.”

Soon, footsteps were heard approaching from a distance. A cold-blooded man with a sword in hand entered and said gloomily, "What are you shouting for? If you shout again, I'll cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs."

Grandma was so scared that she quickly lay on Shen Nan and looked at the man in fear.

Shen Xue said timidly, "Brother, my grandmother and brother are both sick. Please find a doctor to check on them."

"Aren't you a doctor? See for yourself."

"I only learned a few basic things, and I don't have any herbs. Please, save my grandma and brother!"

"No one will die. Besides, aren't you known as the Little Miracle Doctor by the people of Yunzhou? If you can't even save your family, you're nothing but a quack."

Seeing that the other party knew her well, Shen Xue quickly said, "Brother, can you bring me some herbs for treating the cold? I'll make the medicine myself, okay?"

The man looked at grandma and Shen Nan, turned around and walked out without saying a word.

Shen Wangxue said anxiously: "Brother, please don't leave, save my grandma and my brother!"

The man said coldly: "Wait."

Shen Xue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his words. Her guess was right. She, her grandmother, and her brother were all safe before her elder sister arrived.

Thinking of this, she wanted her elder sister to come, but was also worried that she would be threatened if she came, and her heart was full of contradictions.

Not long after, the man brought the herbs and medicine pot and placed them at the door, saying indifferently: "Boil the medicine yourself."

"My hands and feet are tied and I can't make medicine. Can you help me untie them? I promise I won't run away."

The man looked at Shen Xue without saying a word, walked behind Shen Xue to help her untie the rope, threw the rope away and walked to the door without saying a word.

Shen Xue quickly untied the ropes around her feet and glanced at her grandmother. The man guessed her intention and said coldly, "I've done my best to untie you. Don't push your luck."

"Grandma and my brother are both sick. We can't escape even if we want to. Besides, how can we escape from someone as skilled in martial arts as you?"

"If anything happens to my grandma and my brother, my eldest sister will definitely not let you go."

The man looked at Shen Xue and motioned her to untie the grandmother herself. He looked at Shen Xue with deep eyes and said coldly: "If you dare to run, I will break your legs."

Shen Xue quickly untied her grandmother and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, absolutely don't dare to run away."

After Shen Xue untied her grandmother, she also untied Shen Nan. She picked up the herbs on the ground and began to examine them. Only after she was sure that they were for treating colds did she feel at ease to put them into the medicine jar.

She looked at the man suspiciously, "Where is the medicine going to be boiled, big brother?"

"Decoction outside."

Shen Xue was about to leave when her grandmother said worriedly, "Xiaoxue..."

Shen Xue turned around and comforted her: "Grandma, don't worry! I'm sure I'll be fine. I'll boil the medicine and come back soon."

Although grandma was worried about Shen Xue, she didn't dare to speak when she saw the man's gloomy face.

Shen Xue followed the man into the yard. It was a remote place, with mountains not far away. If she fled into the mountains, she would have a chance to escape, but it would be difficult to take her grandmother and brother with her.

She was secretly thinking about how to get rid of this man's control. She couldn't beat him, so she could only outsmart him.

If she escapes, her elder sister will no longer be threatened by them. I can't help her, but I don't want to drag her down. She has paid too much for this family and I don't want to be a burden to her.

The man seemed to see through her thoughts and said coldly, "Don't even think about running away. You can't escape."

Shen Xue cursed the man's ancestors in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it.

"I didn't want to escape, nor did I dare to escape."

Shen Xue was busy boiling the medicine. After it was done, she gave it to her grandmother to drink, and then she slowly fed it to her brother, observing Shen Nan's condition from time to time.

Grandma whispered in Shen Xue's ear: "Xiaoxue, wait until we are well enough to find a way to escape, otherwise your elder sister will have to listen to them."

"Grandma, don't worry. I'll go out and check out the surrounding area while the men are asleep at night."

"it is good."

In the middle of the night, Shen Xue quietly got up and tiptoed to the door, only to find it locked tightly. Just as she was getting anxious, she noticed that the window was not completely closed.

I was so happy that I tried to squeeze out of the window. Just when I squeezed half of my body out, I heard a cold voice: "I told you, you can't escape."

The man didn't hit or scold her, but just warned her coldly: "You won't be so lucky next time."

Shen Xue glanced outside unwillingly, then obediently went back to lie down beside her grandma.

What Shen Xue didn't know was that the entire yard was under surveillance by guards, who were watching every move of the entire house from the roof.

One of the guards smiled and said, "This girl is pretty. If..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cold voice, "The prince used their grandparents to threaten Princess Furong. You dare to ruin the prince's plan. The prince will not forgive you."

"I was just talking, how dare I ruin His Majesty's plan."

"There is no best."
