Zhou Yong is going to the capital.
Su Yuexing knelt before Su's grave, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Mother! I'm sorry! I didn't take good care of Yuewei!"
I will definitely find the murderer! I will avenge Yuewei! Su Yuexing secretly vowed in her heart.
"Mother! I'm going to the capital. You must take good care of yourself down here." Su Yuexing said, then kowtowed.
After coming down the mountain, Su Yuexing fainted, and Li Jinghe nervously felt her weak pulse.
It took him a while to slowly relax his brow. "I really don't know if agreeing to go to the capital with you is a good thing or a bad thing."
Su Yuexing slept for a whole day before waking up.
"You're awake," Li Jinghe said.
Su Yuexing asked, "When are we going to the capital?"
"When you feel a little better," he explained.
Su Yue said eagerly, "I'm completely recovered, let's go now!"
Seeing her rushing around without regard for her own health, he said unhappily, "No! Didn't you promise me that you would listen to me in everything!"
“I…” Su Yuexing was speechless.
"Alright! Don't worry about the trip to the capital! I'll take care of it! Just rest in bed these next few days," Li Jinghe instructed.
Su Yuexing wanted to say something more, but Li Jinghe had already walked away.
Su Yuexing could only obey his orders, eating and sleeping every day.
That day, an unexpected guest arrived in the courtyard, "Sister Su!"
Zhou Yong's face was heavily made up as a woman, and the room was filled with the smell of rouge and powder as soon as he arrived.
He plopped down on Su Yuexing's bed, stroking her hand, and said with a look of reluctance, "Little sister Su! You've gone to the capital! What am I going to do!"
Looking at him, Su Yuexing's lips twitched, and she said, "You can..."
Her eyes swept over Zhou Yong, and she said, "Stay at the Li residence and wait for us to return."
She thought for a long time before finally managing to come up with these words.
Zhou Yong shook his head, feeling wronged, and said, "No! I want to go to the capital with you all!"
Su Yuexing said, "That's not something I can decide."
"You need to go and discuss this with Li Jinghe."
Zhou Yong grabbed her arm and shook it, saying, "I'll go talk to him! He definitely won't agree! Why don't you do it for me, Su-meimei?"
"Just tell him that you won't be able to eat if you don't take me with you!"
“He cares about you, so he will definitely agree to take me to the capital.”
Upon hearing his reason, Su Yuexing's face darkened, and she asked, "Why do you want to go to the capital?"
Zhou Yong stroked his hair and said, "The capital is a prosperous place with many fun places and things!"
I want to go and see!
Su Yuexing advised, "If you're just going to the capital for fun, then you don't really need to go."
"After all, it's at least three months' journey from here to the capital. The long and arduous journey will take a toll on your health."
Hearing her say that, Zhou Yong looked troubled.
Seeing his expression, Su Yuexing felt it had worked, and pointed at his face, saying, "Look at your skin that you've worked so hard to maintain. If it's exposed to the wind and sun, your face will be ruined!"
Li Jinghe covered his face in fear and said, "Is it that serious!"
Su Yuexing affirmed, "Of course!"
"Moreover, if we encounter any bandits on the road, I can only protect Jinghe, while you will be in trouble."
When Li Jinghe came in from outside and heard her say those words, he couldn't help but feel much better.
Zhou Yong changed his mind and said, "Then I'd better not go. Take good care of yourself on the way."
Before Su Yuexing could speak, Li Jinghe behind her said, "I will naturally take good care of her."
"Cousin, are you planning to rest here?"
Without a second thought, Zhou Yong immediately nodded and said repeatedly, "I'll sleep with Sister Su."
Li Jinghe's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Then where will I sleep?"
Zhou Yong then realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly made an excuse to leave, saying, "I'm hungry, I should go back for dinner."
After he left, Li Jinghe went to Su Yuexing's bedside and said, "Stay away from him!"
Su Yuexing nodded and said, "I know."
Li Jinghe poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Did you go to the capital because of your brother's matter?"
Su Yuexing nodded and said, "I must find out who killed my brother!"
"Everything that changed in my family was because they went to Beijing!"
Li Jinghe put down his teacup, lowered his eyes, and said, "I have had people investigate your brother's matter."
Su Yuexing's eyes lit up, and she said, "Have you found anything?"
Li Jinghe said, "Your brother was indeed treated by a doctor named Sai, but it wasn't Sai Taxue."
"This doctor was found by the Second Princess of the current dynasty."
Su Yuexing asked in confusion, "Second Princess?"
Seeing her confusion, Li Jinghe explained, "This second princess is the one Liu Jin married."
"So it must have been Liu Jin who asked the princess to find someone."
Upon hearing him mention Liu Jin's name, Su Yuexing was momentarily dazed.
Seeing her lost in thought, Li Jinghe asked with displeasure, "What are you thinking about?"
Su Yuexing snapped out of her daze and said, "It's nothing."
Li Jinghe came to the bedside and took off his clothes. Su Yuexing asked warily, "What are you going to do?"
Li Jinghe casually tossed his clothes aside and said, "Of course, it's time to sleep!"
Su Yuexing moved over a bit, making room for a large portion of the bed.
Li Jinghe lay down and hugged Su Yuexing, saying, "Don't move! Let me hold you quietly for a while."
Soon she heard even breathing sounds. Su Yuexing turned her head and saw that Li Jinghe was fast asleep. She gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep as well.
Three days later, the two set off for the capital. Li Wanxi watched them leave, seeing the carriage go further and further away.
A strange angle appeared at the corner of her mouth. I wonder if you'll have a chance to come back after this trip to the capital.
After all, you nearly lost your life when you came back from the capital last time.
It's fine if she doesn't come back, everything in this Li mansion is mine! She looked back at everything in the Li mansion, and when she saw Zhou Yong beside her, a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.
Li Jinghe! I will make you pay for what you did to Yong'er!
There may be some surprises I've prepared for you along the way, so enjoy them!
I've spent a fortune hiring an assassin organization to deal with you this time. I don't believe you can escape!
The carriage was traveling down a valley, with many eyes watching it from the shadows.
The three people in the shadows sensed something was wrong and immediately sent out a signal.
Hearing the sudden bird call, Li Jinghe abruptly opened his eyes and shouted to the coachman outside, "Stop! Turn around immediately!"
The driver looked puzzled and said, "But we've come all this way with great difficulty."
Li Jinghe shouted, "Turn around! Immediately! Right now!"
The coachman stopped talking and turned the carriage around.
Those hiding in the shadows were all surprised. Why did the carriage suddenly turn around?
The leader of the men in black frowned deeply. If he didn't make a move soon, all his preparations would be in vain.
He waved his hand lightly, and the men in black who received the signal all sprang into action.
Seeing so many men in black appear out of nowhere, the coachman quickened his whip, shouting, "Giddy up! Giddy up!"
The leader of the men in black chopped off the horse's neck with a single sword stroke, causing the carriage to overturn. "Ah!" Li Jinghe instinctively protected Su Yuexing, shielding her head with his hand.
Su Yuexing and Li Jinghe scrambled out of the carriage in a disheveled state and saw more than a dozen men in black standing outside.
Su Yuexing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Jinghe beside her.
Li Jinghe remained calm and asked, "May I ask why you all treat us this way?"
"I have no recent grievances or past grudges with you."
Dongyang looked at them warily.
The leader of the men in black didn't say a word, but simply made a gesture, and the rest of the men in black then attacked them.
Su Yuexing shielded Li Jinghe behind her, ready to fight them to the death.
Three dark figures descended from the sky: Hua, Xue, and Yue.
Su Yuexing was surprised; these were his bodyguards! They seemed to be highly skilled in martial arts.
Hanamichi: "You guys go first!"
Li Jinghe said coldly, "Dongyang! Let's go!"
The leader of the men in black immediately gave chase, and Xue tried to stop him, but was blocked by the other men in black.
The three hadn't run far when the man in black landed in front of them, sword in hand, staring at them with icy eyes.
Dongyang stepped forward and attacked him, and Su Yuexing also seized the opportunity to join in.
Even two people struggled to deal with him.
Fortunately, the two worked well together. Dongyang kicked him in the chest, and Su Yuexing grabbed some yellow soil from the ground and threw it at his face.
The man in black instinctively closed his eyes and rubbed them with his hands. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dongyang stabbed him in the abdomen with his sword.
Su Yuexing immediately pulled Li Jinghe and ran wildly, with Dongyang following behind.
The three ran for a long time, and when they saw that no men in black were chasing them, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yuexing and Li Jinghe sat down with their backs against a tree.
"How come I ran into an assassin as soon as I stepped out the door!" Su Yuexing said helplessly, panting.
Li Jinghe's eyes flashed, and he said leisurely, "Yes! As soon as I step out, someone comes to kill me. My life is really worth a lot."
He continued, "How did the man in black know I was going to take that road?"
Dongyang's eyes flickered, and he said, "That valley is the only way from Pingchun County to the capital."
"Only the Li family knows that the young master has gone to the capital. People in the capital probably haven't received the news so quickly yet."
Su Yuexing seemed to realize who wanted to kill them.
“Young master! It’s Miss Li!” Dongyang said.
Li Jinghe pursed his lips and said, "My aunt who wanted to kill me!" A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Su Yuexing looked around. Now that they were out of the carriage and in the middle of nowhere, they were in big trouble if they encountered any wild animals.
Su Yuexing lit a fire so that people could keep warm.
Dongyang took out the dry rations he was carrying and handed them to them.
Su Yuexing took a bite and said, "I wonder how your bodyguards are doing?"
Li Jinghe reassured them, "Don't worry! They're very skilled, they'll be fine."
Su Yuexing asked curiously, "Why do you have such skilled bodyguards around you?"
Instead of answering her directly, he looked into her eyes and asked, "Do you really want to know?"
Su Yuexing shook her head and said, "No, I was just asking casually."
