Chapter 655 Finding the Princess
The prince agreed to Ni'er's request without hesitation, and the two of them went in the direction where the sound came from to search.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, pouring down like a bucket, crackling on the ground and splashing water.
Amid the noisy rain, Nier hurried to identify the source of the sound and vaguely heard a voice coming from the front.
Her heart tightened and she quickly quickened her pace, with the prince following closely behind.
Finally, Nier saw a figure falling to the ground in the haze.
Due to the obstruction of rain, she could not see the man's face clearly, but could only vaguely make out a human figure.
Ni'er was extremely anxious and quickly grabbed the prince, motioning him to go forward and check.
The two of them walked closer, one step deep and one step shallow. Ni'er took a closer look and was shocked - the person lying on the ground was the princess!
Nier's heart instantly rose to her throat, but when she saw that the princess was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, finding the princess was a blessing in disguise, and he could save his life temporarily.
Without saying a word, the prince quickly carried the princess on his shoulders, while Ni'er carefully supported her from behind to save the prince some energy.
Back in the cave, Nier quickly put the princess on the ground and carefully checked her injuries.
After this examination, Nier's heart began to lift again. There was no intact part of the princess' body. There were scratches everywhere, and there was a big bump on her head. It looked very scary.
What worried Nier the most were the two round wounds on the princess' legs. Judging from the shape of the wounds and the redness and swelling around them, she must have been bitten by a snake.
Nier took the princess's pulse and found that although the snake's venom was strong, it was not fatal. Could it be because the princess had eaten a lot of medicinal food before?
In any case, we should feed the princess some spiritual spring water first.
Make sure she doesn't lose her life.
At this time, the princess's clothes were completely soaked by the rain and stuck tightly to her body, so she had to take them off.
Seeing this, the prince turned away awkwardly to give Ni'er some space.
The princess was already in a state of confusion at this time, mumbling something, completely unaware of what she was saying. Her forehead was extremely hot, as if it could fry an egg.
Seeing this, Nier hurriedly wiped the princess's body clean, and then handed the clothes to the prince. After the prince took the clothes, he dried them with fire.
With the faint light of the fire, Nier decided to treat the princess's snake bite wound.
She quickly tied a piece of cloth over the wound, then picked up a knife and carefully made a small cut in the wound.
However, there were no medical tools in this wilderness. Nier had no choice but to swallow the antidote herself, and then sucked out the poison from the princess's wound without hesitation.
After feeding the princess the medicine, Nier nervously observed the princess's complexion. She saw that the blue color that originally covered the princess's face was gradually fading away, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it was the spiritual spring water or the antidote that worked, we should thank God.
However, the rain showed no signs of stopping, but instead got heavier.
If we delay any further, the princess will probably catch a cold and develop a high fever again.
"Your Highness, when will your people find us? Although the princess's fever has temporarily subsided, she is a princess after all. I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for too long in such a harsh environment." Ni'er said to the prince worriedly.
The prince's brows were tightly furrowed, and his heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
The situation is extremely critical now, and every decision may be a matter of life and death.
He couldn't help but think to himself: "Should I take a gamble?"
The prince subconsciously touched the signal cannon in his arms, which was his last trump card.
However, he was hesitant in his heart because once this signal cannon was used, the consequences would be unpredictable.
He didn't know whether his own people would arrive first or the Fourth Prince's people would arrive here first.
Just as the prince was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a faint voice.
The sound seemed to be not far away, and it sounded like it came from more than one person.
The prince immediately became alert. He concentrated and listened carefully to the sound.
After a while, a look of surprise appeared on the prince's face.
He could tell that these people were his confidants!
"Young shopkeeper, my people are here." The prince whispered to Ni'er beside him.
Nier's eyes were a little moist and she was almost about to cry, but she still held back her tears.
Her eyes were blurred with tears, and she wiped them hastily with her sleeve, then began to dress the princess quickly.
Nier heard the hurried footsteps of a group of people walking towards her.
Her heartbeat instantly quickened, and her hands' movements became faster and more decisive, not daring to delay even a little.
We must never let those people see the princess's body.
"Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please punish me!"
Suddenly, a low and anxious voice was heard. It was Prince Li's subordinates who had arrived.
Prince Li was about to respond when he was interrupted by another voice.
"Uncle, you look so disheveled, are you not injured?"
This was the voice of the Fourth Prince, and his tone was filled with obvious sarcasm and mockery.
When Nier heard their conversation in the cave, she was so scared that her whole body trembled and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
She never expected that the Fourth Prince would arrive so soon.
If the prince's men had arrived a little later, something bad might have happened...
Thinking of this, Nier quickly shook her head, as if this could get rid of those terrible thoughts from her mind.
However, the prince appeared remarkably calm and composed. He replied calmly, "Thanks to you, I am not injured."
After hearing this, the Fourth Prince felt even more angry. He glared at the prince with gritted teeth, but he could do nothing.
"That's good, let's go."
The Fourth Prince slammed these words down and turned away.
He turned around to look at the people following him and cursed angrily, "A bunch of trash!"
At this moment, the Queen Mother's men also rushed over after hearing the noise.
They first bowed to the prince, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then asked, "Prince, have you seen the princess?"
When the prince heard the sound, he turned his head and looked at the cave and said, "Inside."
Upon hearing this, Ni'er hurriedly came out of the cave where she was hiding.
She immediately spotted Nanny Li standing not far away and quickly stepped forward. "The princess was bitten by a snake, but I've already treated the wound. Please take the princess back."
When Nanny Li heard this, her face turned pale instantly and she rushed into the cave.
When she entered, she saw the princess lying on the ground, her face as pale as paper and her lips bloodless.
