She left the tent.
Ping’er was leaning against a suitcase and dozing off. Not far away, a pot of hot water was burning.
Yan Jiuchao stood quietly under the moonlight and guarded Yu Wan and the three little black eggs.
With Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen patrolling, there was no need for him to do this. However, it was undeniable that the moment Yu Wan came out and saw him, she was overjoyed.
Perhaps she liked him at first because of his looks, but later on, she gradually realized that it was indeed because of his looks. This face and this tall figure were simply too beautiful and fairy-like under the moonlight.
Yu Wan covered her beating heart and walked over. “I forgot to tell you. I told you not to wait for me. I’ll go rest in the tent first.”
“Hmph!” Yan Jiuchao looked at the sky coldly.
Yu Wan couldn’t help but laugh. She walked to the fire, picked up a stick, and pulled out a roasted sweet potato. She placed it on two small wooden sticks and handed it to him. “Alright, don’t be angry. I’ll get Ping’er to roast a sweet potato for you. It’s sweet.”
She knew that Yan Jiuchao did not like dry sweet potatoes.
The sweet potato had been roasted for a long time, and the skin was already charred. The layer of sweetness on the inner skin had a charred fragrance, and there was also a slight bitterness and sourness. However, the more it was roasted, the sweeter it became. It was sweet, soft, and fragrant. It tasted extremely good when eaten while it was hot.
Yan Jiuchao still couldn’t taste it, but he liked the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes. He sat by the fire and ate roasted sweet potatoes. He looked very serious like a magnified version of Xiaobao.
Yu Wan felt happy just by looking at him and ate a little.
The effect of the numbing soup did not last long. The second time Yu Wan entered the tent to check on her physical condition, she woke up faintly.
There was pain from the wound. She finally knew that she was dreaming. She subconsciously moved, but Yu Wan pressed her down. “Don’t move first.
Although the wound isn’t big, it’s still stitched up. Be careful so that it doesn’t split.”
Xianglian was very weak, but while she was weak, it was not difficult for her to feel that the pain had lessened than before. Moreover, other than that, her body did not feel any other discomfort. Could it be that… it was really as they said? She was helping her treat her illness and not punishing her?
“Since you’re awake, drink the medicine first. You’ll feel better after drinking it.” Yu Wan poured a few pills into her mouth and scooped a spoonful from the bowl to feed her.
There was no room for resistance, and she had no choice but to eat. More importantly, the sense of danger in Xianglian’s heart was no longer as strong
as Derore.
“And this.” Yu Wan gave her another pill.
Xianglian obediently took it. Just as Xianglian thought that Yu Wan was going to start interrogating her about some news, Yu Wan actually took the empty bowl and left without a word!
Xianglian : “…”
She saved her and sold her such a big favor. Shouldn’t she look for her to get some information?
This, this shouldn’t be!
Xianglian felt that Yu Wan was most likely deliberately keeping her hanging, but Yu Wan did not come back. It was Ping’er who crawled in while yawning.
Ping’er glanced at Xianglian and said to her, “How do you feel? Are you feeling much better? Go to sleep. I’ll guard you. I won’t sleep too soundly. If there’s anything, call me.” She said she won’t sleep too soundly. However, as soon as her head touched the pillow, she immediately started snoring.
This was really snoring!
Therefore, Ping’er was not an expert. She was just a heartless silly girl.
Then they—
Xianglian was puzzled. She was waiting for someone to ask her questions, but what came was everyone returning to their tents to sleep.
Xianglian : “…”
Yu Wan used the best herbs for Xianglian. Xianglian’s wound recovered very well the next day. Although it was best for Xianglian to recuperate, there was no village or shop here, and there was no place to recuperate. The humidity was still heavy, and there were many mosquitoes.
The group continued on their way.
Xianglian was waiting for someone to pry information from her. Yu Wan and Old Cui came a few times, but they only checked her injuries and changed her dressing. They did not mention anything else.
Xianglian could not sit still anymore. Has she been exposed? Why did they save her? If she had been exposed, what was their motive? If she had not been exposed, then she owed them her life.
“Young Madam!” When Yu Wan stopped the carriage for the fourth time to check her injuries, she could not help but speak.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Wan asked. “Are you feeling unwell?”
Xianglian met those eyes that did not have a trace of calculation and dispelled the last trace of doubt in her heart. Young Madam was a good person, they all were. They had never doubted her and had sincerely saved her.
If Yu Wan knew what she was thinking at this moment, she would definitely tell you very seriously: You, you, you, you… you’re really thinking too much! We saved you because you’re a “good” spy. If you die, we can’t beat you at your own game.
As for getting information, was there a need for this? After you recovered, you would naturally contact the person behind the scenes. Wouldn’t we know everything once we followed you? It was more reliable than what you said!
Therefore, at this moment, Yu Wan had no desire for Xianglian. It was no wonder that Xianglian had made a mistake.
Xianglian took a deep breath in self-reproach. “Young Madam, actually, I… I lied to you! I’m not from Yan City! I didn’t really sell myself to bury my father! I… I did it on purpose that day… I came to harm you…”
Yu Wan was a little stunned. Miss, where’s your awareness of being a spy? Where’s your professionalism? Why did you confess?!
She was so timid and was so easily moved. She did not look like a well-trained spy. Could she be just a lowest-level spy? Usually, spies of this level could not come into contact with the mastermind. They might not even be able to see a higher-level informant.
Then even if they followed her, they might not be able to follow a big fish. From this, it could be inferred that the confession she mentioned was naturally not too valuable.
Wan was a little disappointed-
However, at this moment, Xianglian provided very intriguing news. “They poisoned me with Gu and asked me to poison Princely Heir Yan with another
Gu? Princely Heir Yan?
It seemed like a simple sentence, but the information revealed was huge.
The Gu that was placed on the man and woman was most likely a Love Gu. They hoped that Yan Jiuchao would be separated from her.
Yan Jiuchao had just been conferred the title of Princely Heir, and Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six were not used to calling him that. On Nanzhao’s side, the Helian family called him Young Master. The people outside the Helian family called him Commandery Prince Consort. In the Ghost Clan, he was the Ghost King. In the Nether Capital and the Sorcerer Clan, they only knew that he was the Young Master of Yan City.
Therefore, the person who called him Princely Heir Yan was most likely from the capital. In the capital, Yan Jiuchao had offended many people, but not many had the guts to touch him.
Yu Wan had already guessed who the mastermind was..
