C253 shedding of cicada

Duan Yunfei accompanied Xiu Heng outside of the tent, and time slowly passed by. The poison that Xiu Heng had been infected with started to take effect, causing his entire body to spasm and fall to the ground.

Until now, when Xiu Heng finally told him the location of the antidote with a trembling hand.

"The antidote is in the secret compartment on the wall in the tent. If you want it, you can go and get it." Xiu Heng's aura became weaker, and was almost unable to hold on.

Duan Yunfei quickly found the antidote from the secret compartment within Xiu Heng's tent, then grabbed Xiu Heng and walked out of the tent.

"Quickly release our crown prince, or else we will come forward together and personally dismember your body into five pieces." The steps beneath the tent were filled with soldiers, all of them wielding swords and sabers, staring straight at Duan Yunfei. Her eyes were filled with killing intent and rage.

"If you do not retreat, I will personally kill your crown prince." Duan Yunfei kept her blade on Xiu Heng's neck the entire time, and threatened the soldiers below the stairs: "Now that your crown prince has been poisoned, the antidote is in my hands, he is not my match at all. If you want to let him live, then quickly let me go."

The soldiers at the foot of the stairs hesitated, but in the end, they still made way for Duan Yunfei.

Only until Duan Yunfei reached a safe zone did she finally abandon him.

Xiu Heng slightly closed his eyes, his face pale white, and his lips beginning to turn slightly purple. His symptoms were exactly the same as Mu Chuyang's. His brow was furrowed, and he was probably too upset to say a word.

Duan Yunfei rode on his horse alone for a while, but in the end, she still couldn't bear it.

"Xiu Heng, even if you are heartless to me, I cannot be unrighteous to you."

Duan Yunfei jumped down from the horse and stood in front of Xiu Heng, fiercely stomping her feet, and in the end, fished out the antidote from her waist and stuffed it into Xiu Heng's mouth.

"You've not been deeply poisoned, and now that you've taken the medicine, it won't be long before you recover." Duan Yunfei dragged Xiu Heng to the side of the road and spoke to him: "Don't worry, your soldiers will soon find you. They will naturally rescue you back."

Xiu Heng, from now on, you don't owe me and I don't owe you either. You had forgotten about the incident at Yusong Institute long ago, so I should have as well.

Xiu Heng, from now on, we will return to the bridge.

Duan Yunfei jumped on top of the horse and turned to look at Xiu Heng, but rode away in the end.

Only after Duan Yunfei had walked far away did she finally sit up and let out a heavy sigh. His eyes were a little sore. She couldn't resist extending her hand to rub it.

He glanced at Duan Yunfei's back before turning around and walking in the direction of the camp.

Just as Duan Yunfei had said, on the way back, Xiu Heng encountered soldiers who were looking for him.

"Crown Prince, are you alright?" When the soldiers under Xiu Heng saw Xiu Heng walking over safely, they pulled on his sleeves in shock, unwilling to let go. When the Jin Country princess kidnapped you just now, I saw how badly you were injured and was really shocked. "

Xiu Heng shook his head, and without saying a word, he walked towards the camp.

Until the evening when the weather slowly darkened and Xiu Heng's personal guard, Li Wu Chen, lit up the candles in the tent and carefully brought it in front of Xiu Heng.

"Crown Prince, you've worked hard today. You should go and rest early." Lie Chen stood at the side and said to Xiu Heng in a low voice.

Xiu Heng nodded and could not help but let out a bitter laugh. He mumbled to himself, "At this time, Thirteen should have already sent the antidote to Young Prince Mu."

As Xiu Heng spoke, Li Chen who was at the side could not help but let out a laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiu Heng was confused, he turned and asked.

Hearing Xiu Heng's question, Li Chen quickly bowed towards Xiu Heng and said respectfully: "Reporting to the crown prince, this lowly general is sighing with emotion at the benevolence the crown prince has shown me today. I truly submit to you."

"What do you mean?" Hearing Li Chen's words, Xiu Heng pretended not to understand and asked with interest.

Li Chen immediately noticed his slip of tongue, and quickly said to Xiu Heng: "This lowly general has wrongly spoken, I hope that Your Highness will forgive me."

Hearing what Li Chen said, Xiu Heng actually started to laugh. Ye Zichen waved his hand at Li Chen and said, "Say it, I won't blame you."

Only then did Li Chen nod his head slightly, and continued to speak to Xiu Heng: "I know that the crown prince was not poisoned today. He has only done so many things in order for the princess of Jin Country to be able to take the antidote away naturally."

Xiu Heng did not expect his plan to be seen through so easily. He pretended to be serious and asked Li Chen: "And how do you know that I'm not poisoned? "How do you know I let Thirteen take the antidote?"

Li Chen raised his head slightly, looked at Xiu Heng meaningfully for a moment, then said to Xiu Heng: "There's no need for anything else, the crown prince only needs to look at the Jin Country Princess in a way to make it clear."

"The Crown Prince has been carrying that < Sun's Martial Arts > by his side all day, and he was willing to let the Princess of Jin Country point the blade of his sword right at your neck. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid her arms would have left his body long ago. " "Lei Chen smiled faintly and said to Xiu Heng. The Crown Prince is usually so cautious and prudent, how could he be poisoned by others without knowing it? If it wasn't for the Crown Prince's meticulous arrangements, I really can't think of any other reason. "

After hearing what Lie Chen had to say, Xiu Heng couldn't help but let out a laugh, and then let out a heavy sigh. I originally thought that no one knew about this, but I never thought that you would be able to see through it. "

As Xiu Heng talked to himself, Li Chen walked up and cupped his hands towards Xiu Heng and said: "Since Your Highness has done so many things, why don't you let the Princess of Jin Country know?"

As he said till here, the smile on Xiu Heng's face disappeared, and he shook his head at Li Chen. I had done so many wrong things to her before, one after another, lying between us, never to cross over. All the things I do now are things that I owe her, so why should I let her know? "

Although Lei Chen didn't understand what Xiu Heng meant, he still couldn't help but nod his head heavily when he saw Xiu Heng's expression.

As Xiu Heng spoke, he bent down and picked up the pieces of the < Sun's Martial Arts >, placing them on the table as they were before.

"Your Highness, since this book is in such a dilapidated state, let this lowly general take it out and repair it for you." Li Chen stood at the side and asked tentatively when he saw that Xiu Heng's expression was a little sad.

Xiu Heng laughed bitterly and shook his head at Li Chen. "No need, since it has already become like this, there is no need to repair it."

Outside, the wind blew through the cracks in the tent and blew the broken pieces of the table around.
