"I should be feeling better. I even ate half a bowl of porridge this morning."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan pushed open the door to Wang Xiaoqiang's temporary room and went in to take a look at him.

She touched Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead and found it was still a little warm, but thankfully not as hot as it had been yesterday.

Shen Yuan instructed, "Keep taking your medicine!"

“Miss Shen, are those medicines very expensive? How much silver do they cost? Could you tell me in advance so I can…” Wang Xiaoqiang wanted to say that he could return the money to Shen Yuan, but he quickly remembered that the silver he had painstakingly saved for a year had been completely taken away before he fell into a coma.

He doesn't have a single penny to his name right now, so paying for his medicine is probably harder than climbing to heaven.

Shen Yuan knew what Wang Xiaoqiang was worried about, and gently patted him: "It's okay, these medicines are from my carriage, you don't need to pay for them."

"This...cough cough...how can this be allowed?"

Upon hearing that the coriander was free, Wang Xiaoqiang excitedly struggled to his feet.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan quickly held him down.

With just that slight movement, his wounds started bleeding again. Wang Xiaoqiang winced in pain and lay back down. After a while, he said, "Young lady, you saved my life. If you want to leave the city, I can help you."

“One of the soldiers guarding the west gate is my cousin. I can use the pretext of visiting relatives to take you away from Jizhou City to Baishi Town.”

Shen Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thank you!"

"Why are you thanking me, young lady? You're my savior, and I haven't properly thanked you yet." After saying that, Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "When do you plan to leave, young lady? I can... cough cough... escort you out of the city anytime!"

Shen Yuan glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang's injuries and estimated that it would take another two or three days for the scabs to form, so she said, "No rush!"

As Shen Yuan came out of Wang Xiaoqiang's room, she bumped into the shop assistant who was returning from buying groceries.

The waiter put down the dishes and whispered to the others, "Guess what I heard when I went out? The officer in charge of arresting us died last night!"
