The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Chapter 708 Shooting yourself in the foot

When General Li heard this, his face suddenly changed and a feeling of unease surged in his heart.

"Who of you drank?" General Li's eyes swept back and forth between the princess and Ni'er.

The two shook their heads at the same time and said in unison: "No."

General Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered that Ni'er was a doctor and had some knowledge of medicine. She must have discovered the clue before the medicine entered her mouth.

Even if she drank alcohol, she would definitely have the antidote.

"Fortunately, you didn't drink it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. I must pour out that pot of wine immediately to prevent others from accidentally drinking it and causing disaster."

General Li turned around and was about to leave.

However, his steps were stopped by Ni'er.

Ni'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already poured out the wine."

General Li breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Ni'er looked at General Li and said, "I really want to know how you knew the wine was poisonous and how you were able to tamper with it right under Lian Yi's nose?"

General Li stared into Ni'er's eyes, his lips curled up slightly as he said, "This isn't difficult. There are many wine jugs like that in the palace, and they are far more exquisite and gorgeous than what you have seen."

"Anyone with a little experience can see through the clues at a glance."

He paused, then continued, "As for making a move under Lian Yi's nose without being noticed, it's even easier."

"When she sees you two, her eyes are glued to you, completely oblivious to anything else. At this point, all we need to do is move quickly and we can accomplish this without anyone noticing."

General Li's tone was slightly teasing as he continued, "You two were enjoying delicious food, yet you still remembered coming to rescue me. It's truly touching."

The princess was quite displeased with his appearance. She cursed in her heart and wanted to punch him.

But then he thought again, after all, he had just eaten his food and taken advantage of him, so it would not be a good idea to get angry, so he had to let it go for the time being.

However, the princess couldn't help but retort, "That's not entirely true. I just feel disgusted with Lian Yi."

"She won't even dare to set foot in your mansion, let alone use such dirty tricks."

General Li nodded, indicating his agreement with the princess's opinion.

"I have the same idea as you. I will never let someone like this get close to me."

"However, I still have to thank you two. If you are not full yet, you may as well go back with me and enjoy some more delicious food." General Li invited.

The princess quickly waved her hand and politely declined: "No, we are already very full, now we just want to have a good rest."

General Li understood that the princess would definitely not starve herself, so he looked at Ni'er again, and she didn't look like she was hungry either.

"Well, in that case, you should go and rest. Everyone has been on edge lately, and today we experienced another shock. It's really not easy."

"I've asked someone to make you some soothing soup. Remember to drink a bowl later and relax."

"As for me, I have to rush back to the banquet. There are some things there that I need to deal with," said General Li.

Nier and the princess stood there until he completely disappeared from their sight.

The two looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly, knowing what the other was thinking.

The princess took Nier's hand and said, "Let's go."

Nier followed the princess's footsteps and walked towards the tent where Lian Yi was dragged into.

From time to time, foul language could be heard from the tent, mixed with women's sobs and curses, which made people blush.

Nier and the princess's steps became slower and slower, and their faces became redder and redder.

Finally, it stopped some distance away from the tent.

"Let's... wait a while before coming back to take a look." Ni'er said hesitantly.

The princess agreed, and the two of them turned and returned to their tent.

As soon as she entered the tent, Nier sat down on the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What do you think will happen to Lian Yi?" Ni'er suddenly asked.

The princess also sat down beside the bed and replied thoughtfully, "She deserves it, I think."

"Those captives will definitely not let her go easily. After all, she is an enemy to them, and a general with a higher rank than them."

Nier nodded, feeling that Lian Yi really deserved it, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.

"General Li's move was truly brilliant. Lian Yi shot himself in the foot. I just wonder if Lian Yi can make it through tonight."

The princess agreed with Nier and said, "That's absolutely right. After all, there are so many captives. I'm afraid Lian Yi won't be able to escape from that tent tonight."

"Why don't we take a rest first, gather our strength, and then go find out tomorrow."

Ni'er was also feeling a little sleepy.

She really hadn't had a good night's sleep these days.

Although she received victory reports every day and learned that General Li was victorious in every battle, she could never completely let go of the worry and was always worried about whether General Li was safe and sound.

Now, Nier can finally put her heart at ease.

"Okay, then let's go and rest first and visit again tomorrow." Ni'er responded happily.

Just at this moment, a steaming hot calming soup was brought over.

They each picked up their bowls and drank them all in one gulp.

After drinking this bowl of calming soup, it feels like a warm current flows into the heart, making people feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

Soon, sleepiness came over them like a tide, their eyelids gradually became heavy, and they soon fell into a sweet dream.

This sleep was extremely peaceful.

The next morning, the sunlight shone on the princess's face and she slowly opened her eyes.

She stretched herself sleepily, then gently nudged Ni'er on the other bed and said, "Get up quickly."

Nier was awakened by the princess' voice. She slowly sat up, but not fully awake yet. She rubbed her eyes drowsily and yawned.

At this moment, she suddenly felt her arm being tightly grabbed by a force.

"Hurry up, let's go and see if Lian Yi is still breathing?" The princess' voice was a little anxious.

Nier's sleepiness was instantly dispelled. She suddenly came to her senses, quickly tidied her clothes and hair, and then followed the princess out of the tent.

The two men walked towards the tent where Lian Yi was carefully, for fear of waking up others.

When they arrived at the tent, they did not rush in directly, but stood at the door and listened to the movement inside.

However, the tent was quiet, without a sound at all.
