"Before sending Master out of the palace, the Empress told Master outside the palace that during this trip, Master should protect the little princess."

Doctor Yang gave Xiao Ruyu a disappointed look and spoke in a bad mood.

"The little princess is good. She ran for her life as soon as she saw her master."

"Are you afraid that Master will eat you?"

As he spoke, Xiao Ruyu had already taken out some herbs and applied them to the sprained area, feeling deeply moved.

【Master——】

[I'm not afraid that you will arrest us.]

She looked at Doctor Yang's sprained waist, stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and gently applied medicine to him.

Doctor Yang rolled his eyes at her and reached out his hand to touch her brow. "Now even Master doesn't believe it, right?"

"In order to pursue you and Eleven, Master was exhausted and even sprained his waist."

Xiao Ruyu was applying medicine to him when she heard him say that. She couldn't help but mutter, "Master is old and in poor health. Don't bother with us anymore."

She said half-heartedly and half-seriously, "If anything happens, this old bone of mine..."

"Yu'er!"

"You are becoming even more disrespectful to Master now, aren't you?"

When Doctor Yang heard Xiao Ruyu say that he was old, he pretended to be angry and turned away to sulk.

"Master, how old are you now? How come you are already an old man? I think Yu'er hasn't been punished for a long time, so her palms are itching, right?"

He pretended to reach out to punish Xiao Ruyu, but was blocked by Eleven.

Eleven looked earnest, protecting Xiao Ruyu behind him, "Master, the little princess's words are innocent, don't take her too seriously."

Looking at Xiao Ruyu who was well protected by Eleven, he suddenly swallowed a breath, put down his raised hand, and shook his head helplessly.

"Eleven, you have spoiled the little princess."

Xiao Ruyu hid behind him, poked her head out, made a face, and pulled Eleven's clothes.

[Eleven, Master won't punish me. He's just talking.]

"So that's how it is." Eleven scratched his head embarrassedly and stood there.

His shy look couldn't help but make Xiao Ruyu laugh. She hugged Shiyi's arm and shook him, then hugged his waist.

[Eleven is still good to me——]

When Doctor Yang heard this, he became jealous and spoke up.

"Eleven is the best to you again."

"You two..."

He kept shaking his head, holding his waist and walking towards the city gate.

[Hey hey hey, Master, what are you doing? ]

Xiao Ruyu raised her feet and waved at him, then pulled Eleven and followed him, standing on his left and right.

【Master, Master.】

Doctor Yang ignored her.

【Master, your money bag fell. 】

Doctor Yang suddenly lowered his head, holding his waist in pain, and heard a "chuckle" coming from his ears.

He stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Ruyu on the head, but she dodged it.

"Go get the horse..."

"Master, please walk faster—"

Xiao Ruyu held Doctor Yang in one hand and Eleven in the other. Her figure was elongated in the dusk and she was smiling.

They drove the horses into the city before dark and found a place to stay.

This small city is not far from the capital, and it is only half a day's journey away.

Doctor Yang came to the inn and asked the waiter to open two rooms.

Hearing Xiao Ruyu's stomach growling, he couldn't help but add, "Prepare a few dishes later, and we'll come and eat after we put down our luggage."

The waiter took the huge amount of silver and smiled from ear to ear.

"Okay, sir, please come this way!"

Xiao Ruyu rubbed Doctor Yang's arm in a flattering manner, feeling overjoyed.

【How did Master know that I was hungry? 】

Doctor Yang spoke calmly without even lowering his head.

"Yu'er's stomach is rumbling like thunder."

The waiter couldn't help laughing out loud, but after being glanced at by Xiao Ruyu, he quickly shut up and lowered his head and walked forward.

[Master, you will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't tease me, right? ]

Xiao Ruyu pouted and turned to give instructions to the waiter.

"Send the food to my...my room later."

The waiter quickly agreed.

Pushing open the door of the house, although the inn is not big, it is very tidy and clean inside.

Xiao Ruyu threw herself onto the bed, and the fatigue from walking finally eased a little.

In less than half an incense stick of time, the waiter brought all the food.

"Sir, please have your meal."

He lowered his head and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Xiao Ruyu smelled the delicious food and couldn't help but want to eat it.

The moment she picked up the chopsticks, she remembered something else.

If we have to go into the mountains and forests again this time, won’t we have to eat wild fruits for several days?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruyu simply put down his chopsticks and picked up the plate.

Eleven was wondering what she was going to do. When he was about to ask, he watched the food and the plate disappear from her hands.

He was stunned, and the chopsticks he had stretched out froze in place.

Doctor Yang noticed that she put the food into the space and couldn't help but speak.

"What are you doing, little princess?"

Xiao Ruyu started explaining while putting the food into the space.

[This trip south will definitely require me to pass through the mountains again, and I don’t want to eat wild fruits for several days.]

[I've lost weight from eating so much.]

As soon as she finished speaking, all the food on the table had been put into the space, and the full table was gone in an instant.

Doctor Yang held his forehead with his hand helplessly and let her go.

[These don’t seem to be enough. ]

Xiao Ruyu muttered a few words in his heart, opened the door and shouted downstairs.

[Waiter, bring another table of dishes! ]

The waiter was stunned, but when he saw the silver she threw down, his eyes lit up.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"

When the next table of dishes was served, the waiter was stunned the moment he pushed open the door.

"this……"

He looked at the empty table and even thought that there was something wrong with his memory.

"Where's the plate?"

The waiter wanted to bend down and look for the plate under the table.

Xiao Ruyu cleared her throat awkwardly and said, "We are so hungry... Don't worry about it for now, just serve the food as soon as possible."

"You will get the money."

She gave Eleven a look, and Eleven immediately understood and took out a gold coin from his sleeve.

The waiter's eyes widened, he took it tremblingly, and agreed readily.

"Okay, okay, I'll serve the guests the food now."

He immediately withdrew and hurried to prepare the meal.

Seeing Xiao Ruyu's generosity, Doctor Yang couldn't help but speak up to stop her.

"Okay little princess, just put some food down."

"It would be a waste to have too much food."

Doctor Yang chuckled and joked that she thought it was because she had to sleep outdoors for a while that she was spending money in revenge.

"Little princess, are you afraid of being hungry? Then there is no need to let Eleven use gold to buy food."

"That ingot of gold might be enough to buy this inn."

Xiao Ruyu had no idea what silver was and scratched his head, confused.

[It turns out that Master is stingy with money, but I give him a thousand taels of gold every year, which is too much to spend.]

Doctor Yang smiled calmly, "The national treasury is still quite sufficient, enough for the little princess to build one."

"But after all, it was the Emperor and Empress' money that was spent, not the little princess's money."

"The little princess won't feel bad."
