There was little rest on the way, and the only time they would sleep in the woods was at night, or they would look for a ruined temple or an uninhabited hunter's hut.
This went on for seven or eight days.
Ji Yibai's expression seemed to have returned to normal.
Yuebao gave him acupuncture every day and did not give him any other medicine.
She had medicine but didn't want to give it to him to relieve his symptoms.
After arriving at the capital of Chu.
Ji Yibai brought Yuebao to his palace, and it was at this time that Yuebao realized that this man was actually the prince of Chu.
Ji Yibai guessed that Yuebao was a girl from a prestigious family in Daqin. The things she used were not what ordinary people had, especially the hidden weapons Yuebao carried with her.
He vaguely felt that hidden weapons seemed to be something that the Chu State did not have.
Yuebao was arranged by Ji Yibai to live in his yard and lived diagonally opposite Ji Yibai's room.
When Yuebao walked into his yard, she found that most of the plants in the yard were dying. From the next day, she transplanted a lot of plants to the yard, watering them and chatting with them every day.
I also planted the small snow lotus in the house.
However, Yuebao kept the snow lotus seeds.
Ji Yibai assigned a cold maid to serve Yuebao. Yuebao named her Bingshuang, whose face was as cold as the hungry frost in winter.
Seeing Bingshuang, Yuebao felt a little uncomfortable.
Her damned sensitivity kicked in again. Within a few days, she had a pretty good idea of who she could get along with and who she couldn't in the palace.
Yuebao wanted to tell Ji Yibai that she didn't want Bingshuang to serve her, but Ji Yibai had not been in the palace since that time.
Only Yuebao lives in the palace alone.
Somehow the news of her being in the prince's mansion reached the imperial palace.
The Queen of Chu ordered someone to summon Yue Bao into the palace.
Bingshuang remained expressionless, her voice as cold as frost, devoid of warmth. "Miss Gu, change your clothes quickly and go to the palace. Once there, don't talk too much, ask too many questions, or look too much. Don't let the palace's extravagance dazzle you and cause trouble for us."
"If a normal girl gets to know the prince, people in the palace think she'll be able to rise to fame and become a phoenix."
Yuebao stood up and slapped him in the face.
"Who do you think you are? Your master asked you to serve me, so you are just a servant. You have to hold back whether you should speak or not." Yue Bao slapped Bing Shuang in front of the palace steward.
"Do the rules of leaving the palace mean there are no rules? If someone like you were in my palace, I would have already whipped you ten times with a rattan stick soaked in salt water. Then I would have sent you to a human trafficker to sell you off."
Bingshuang suppressed her anger and wanted to take action, but was glared at by the steward of the palace and was killed.
He gritted his teeth and accepted the defeat.
Yuebao is born noble after all, and now she has an indescribable nobleness.
She raised her hand and pointed at two little girls to follow her into the house and help her tie her hair.
After Yuebao went in, the palace steward warned Bingshuang. He remembered that the shadow guard had said that Prince Li was sober this time thanks to Miss Gu. In the steward's eyes, Prince Li's health was the most important thing.
The steward of the palace vaguely felt that Gu Yunyue was not someone who wanted to plot against Prince Li.
Yuebao changed into a lilac-colored brocade horse-faced skirt embroidered with flowers and birds. She wore a double-breasted jacket of the same color, and a crimson jacket embroidered with a few flowers.
Yuebao has several headwear items in her backpack.
A hairpin with gold powder and gems is inserted diagonally. The pink oriental pearl on the hairpin beside it highlights the girl's cuteness and elegance.
There is also a round pink pearl on the ear.
The gestures are few, but they cannot be underestimated.
A pair of pink bracelets on her wrists occasionally appeared.
Yuebao hid her backpack and crossbow in Ji Yibai's room. She only brought the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, the Golden Needle, and some pills with her.
The gold collar worn around the neck can be taken off and used as a weapon at critical moments.
After she came out, the palace steward lowered his head.
"Miss Gu. The car is outside."
"Let's go." Yue Bao glanced at Bing Shuang, "You stay, and she will come to the palace with me."
"Lilac is too young. Let Madam Que come with you into the palace."
"Alright."
Yuebao walked out and saw an old woman standing next to the carriage. She first gave a standard greeting.
Nanny Que follows Yuebao so that she can remind Yuebao not to make mistakes at any time.
But seeing Yuebao coming out, and knowing how to advance and retreat, he felt relieved. It seemed that this Miss Gu was from an aristocratic family.
Ji Yibai returned to the palace only after Gu Yunyue arrived. As soon as he entered the palace, he heard the steward say that Gu Yunyue had been taken to the palace by the Queen. He felt uneasy. The Queen's methods were ruthless, and he was afraid that this would harm Gu Yunyue.
Ji Yibai hurried into the palace.
Gu Yunyue was taken to the Queen's Palace by the eunuchs in the palace.
The senior palace maid opposite her asked her to kneel down, and seeing the empress's sinister expression, Gu Yunyue knew that the person opposite her was Ji Yibai's enemy, and she probably regarded her as a thorn in her side.
"I am from the Great Qin State. I don't have to kneel when I come to your Chu State." Gu Yunyue only performed the etiquette of an envoy.
The queen felt apprehensive when she saw that she had used the envoy's etiquette properly.
It is said that Daqin was a wealthy country.
"I wonder what Miss Gu's family is doing in Daqin?"
"An ordinary small business owner."
"Nonsense. How could a small businessman show courtesy to an envoy?" the senior palace maid angrily scolded.
Gu Yunyue raised her eyes and slowly walked to the seat next to her and sat down. She reached out and picked up the teacup and sniffed it. "This water is too light. It must be last year's rainwater."
"The tea doesn't taste good either. It's this year's autumn tea. The palace needs spring tea from before the Qingming Festival. In winter, we collect snow from plum blossoms, put it in a jar, and bury it under the plum tree. We use it to make tea next year."
"In the summer, we collect dewdrops from lotus flowers, put them in jars and bury them under trees to make tea."
Gu Yunyue took a sip of tea and put it down without saying anything else.
The queen wanted to have Gu Yunyue dragged away and beaten with a stick, but she heard a voice behind her and had to suppress her rage.
The reason why Gu Yunyue dared to be so presumptuous in someone else's territory was naturally because she accidentally saw that hint of yellow.
She understood that the emperor had different considerations.
"Miss Gu. You and I hit it off right away. Why don't you live in the palace? When you're free, tell me stories about the Qin Dynasty. My son and daughter are about your age. I guess you two can talk to each other." The queen concealed her unhappiness and pretended to be affectionate.
Gu Yunyue rejected the queen.
She said that if she left the Li Palace, Ji Yibai would be angry. She also said that Ji Yibai was stingy and didn't allow her to talk to other men in an ambiguous way.
Deliberately create an unusual relationship between the two.
Before the Queen could find an excuse, Ji Yibai arrived.
After paying his respects, he was about to take Gu Yunyue away.
The queen was afraid of the people behind her and had to let them leave. But she had a plan in mind: she could let her son possess Gu Yunyue first.
After leaving the palace, Ji Yibai asked Gu Yunyue what Queen said?
Gu Yunyue told him what happened, and Ji Yibai was like listening to a foreign language. "That's it, I'll just listen to your nonsense."
"Of course not. But how much is this piece of cloth and headdress of mine worth in the State of Chu?" Gu Yunyue turned around and asked.
Ji Yibai was silent.
"How do my etiquette compare to yours?" Gu Yunyue asked again. "People are always wary of unknown countries. The Queen might want to touch me, but the people behind her don't. Men usually want to solve problems with the least cost."
"You understand men so well?" Ji Yibai's face was cold, and he pinched Gu Yunyue's chin with his hand. "It's normal for a female doctor to have a few valuable things. What girl from an aristocratic family would study medicine?"
"You're really smart. But your father doesn't know I'm a doctor." Gu Yunyue reached out to push his hand away, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Don't blame me for being rude next time you try to touch me."
"What do you want?"
Gu Yunyue's heart skipped a beat when she was looked at by his cold eyes. She stepped forward and bit Ji Yibai's chin.
The two rows of teeth rubbed gently a few times.
The strange touch made Ji Yibai forget to push away for a moment.
"This is a warning." Gu Yunyue stayed away from Ji Yibai.
