When Shen Ruolan heard that they had gathered all the medicine, she smiled at them and said, "Now that we have gathered all the medicine, go and make some for the Third Prince."

After she finished speaking, she sniffed her nose and noticed that a doctor had sneaked in among the villagers. She paused and said to the villagers of Xia Country, "The Third Prince of Xia just had an acupuncture treatment and it is difficult for him to move. You just stay by his side and accompany him well."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she said to Qin Zhen: "General Qin, my yard is rather simple, please send more people to guard it."

After she finished speaking, she blinked at Qin Zhen. She knew that Xia Hongmiao didn't believe her, so she left the place to them, the master and servant, and let them study it themselves.

Qin Zhen gestured and said to Shen Ruolan, "Okay, I'll arrange for more people to come over right away."

After Qin Zhen finished speaking, he left with Shen Ruolan.

As Shen Ruolan and the others left, a "villager" in the main hall came forward to Xia Hongmiao with an anxious look on his face and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

After saying that, he quickly reached out to help him feel his master's pulse. When he felt his master's pulse, he was shocked. He said to his master in a panic, "Master, logically speaking, although your breath-holding pill has been released in advance, it shouldn't have sealed your internal organs. Did that ugly woman poison you?"

After saying that, he helped Xia Hongmiao to feel his pulse again, but no matter how he felt his pulse, apart from the effect of the breath-holding pill, there was no other sign of poisoning in his master's body, which left him puzzled.

Several villagers from the Xia Kingdom heard the doctor call them His Royal Highness the Third Prince. After hearing the doctor's words, they instantly understood that what happened today was probably done intentionally by their Third Prince.

When the few people thought of this, they felt inexplicably uncomfortable. They trusted their leaders so much, but they didn't expect that they would use them to cause trouble.

However, although they felt uncomfortable, they did not dare to say anything. After all, they understood the principle of sharing weal and woe. They could only pretend to be ignorant and wait silently by the side.

Outside the house, Shen Ruolan brought Qin Zhen to a deserted place. She bowed to Qin Zhen and said with a smile, "General Qin, long time no see. Are the Madam and the Young Master all right?"

Qin Zhen didn't recognize Shen Ruolan at first. After hearing what she said, he looked her up and down, and asked with a puzzled look: "Sister-in-law, do we know each other?"

Shen Ruolan took out a purse from her bosom and handed it to Qin Zhen, saying, "Thanks to General Qin and his wife for their help that day. I was able to escape. Ruolan is very grateful."

Qin Zhen suddenly remembered what Shen Ruolan said. He stared at Shen Ruolan and said, "You are Lan..."

Shen Ruolan smiled and nodded at him, interrupting him, "Yes, it's me. My name is Shen Ruolan now. General Qin can just call me Ruolan from now on."

Qin Zhen was very happy to hear that the person in front of him was Lan Wanxi. However, when he saw Shen Ruolan's big belly, he asked her with a complicated expression: "The baby in your belly..."

Shen Ruolan gave Qin Zhen a bitter smile and said, "It's his."

After she finished speaking, she paused and told Qin Zhen, "I'd like to trouble General Qin to keep it a secret for me. I don't want him to know about this."

Qin Zhen said: "This is natural."

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "No wonder you looked familiar to me just now, but I couldn't remember who you were. Lan, Miss Shen's disguise is really good."

Looking at Shen Ruolan's current appearance, let alone Jiang Dichen, even her biological father Lan Mao might not recognize her if he met her.

Shen Ruolan smiled at Qin Zhen and said, "I can't help it. The world outside is difficult, and my identity is special. In order not to attract other people's attention, I have to do this."

Qin Zhen nodded in understanding. Thinking of what had just happened, he thanked Shen Ruolan and said, "Thank you Miss Shen for your help just now. Otherwise, I would have fallen into Xia Hongmiao's trap today."

Speaking of Xia Hongmiao, Shen Ruolan asked Qin Zhen: "General Qin, what happened by the river just now?"

Logically speaking, the villagers on both sides of the strait are all well, and there should be no conflict between Qin Zhen and Xia Hongmiao.

Qin Zhen told Shen Ruolan the truth: "I was just inspecting the destinations of our country's refugees on the river bank, and I happened to run into Xia Hongmiao. I had no intention of paying attention to him, but he kept deliberately provoking me. I have a bad temper, and after he provoked me again and again, I couldn't help but fight him. Then I hit him twice, and he fell to the ground and vomited blood and died inexplicably."

After hearing this, Shen Ruolan said to Qin Zhen: "General Qin, this guy has probably been targeting Bei Mingming and trying to cause trouble. You have to be careful."

Qin Zhen said: "I know this. Because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people in Beiming are in great turmoil. The surrounding countries are eyeing Beiming covetously, wanting to take advantage of the situation. I just didn't expect Xia Hongmiao to use such a despicable method."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Ruolan and asked, "Miss Shen, how long have you been here? Have you seen where the refugees from Beiming have gone?"

Shen Ruolan felt a little guilty after hearing Qin Zhen's question, but she still confessed to Qin Zhen: "General Qin, to be honest, most of the refugees who came out of here were arranged by me to go to Nanshan."

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued to add to Qin Zhen: "After I give birth, I will go into the mountains. If General Qin needs to find me in the future, you can come to Nanshan Fuzhai."

Shen Ruolan didn't want to hide anything from Qin Zhen, nor did she want to make things difficult for him, so it would be better for them to have no contact after today.

Qin Zhen was stunned after hearing what Shen Ruolan said. He looked at Shen Ruolan and asked, "Miss Shen, go and do it..."

Qin Zhen couldn't say the word "bandit" at all. He just looked at her with a complicated expression.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ruolan smiled and admitted to him generously: "Yes, I went into the mountains to be the village leader. However, General Qin, don't worry, I won't lead everyone to mess around outside and cause you trouble."

Qin Zhen persuaded Shen Ruolan, "Miss Shen, this is not a matter of whether or not to cause trouble. It is very dangerous for you to live in Nanshan. You should quickly ask everyone to withdraw. I will ask someone to help you find a place with abundant water resources to stay."

The bandits in Nanshan will be liquidated by Beiming and Xiaguo sooner or later, and then she will be in trouble.

Shen Ruolan shook her head stubbornly at Qin Zhen, "General Qin, thank you for your kindness, but I still prefer Nanshan."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Zhen and said, "If General Qin urgently needs these refugees to go with him, I will have someone take you there. If they are willing to go with you, you can take them away. If they are unwilling to go, please don't force them, General Qin."

Qin Zhen saw that Shen Ruolan was determined to get rid of Beiming, so he stopped trying to persuade her and just said to her, "Since Miss Shen doesn't want to go back to Beiming, I won't force her. As for those refugees, let them stay there. As for the imperial court, Miss Shen doesn't need to worry."

They are just tens of thousands of refugees. The imperial court is in dire straits and will not pay too much attention to them.
