After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, she turned to get into the carriage.
However, the masked man stopped her: "Miss, we are also returning to the capital. Could we come with you?"
"Hmm? You're also heading back to the capital?"
"That's right."
After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng glanced at the masked man and said, "I think it's best if we go our separate ways. Dozens of people suddenly rush out to chase after you, like you guys."
I dare not travel with you. If we end up, forget about reaching the capital; I might not even know how I died.
"What? Is the young lady scared?"
"I'm scared! Of course I'm scared."
The masked man smirked: "But I saw that you were incredibly fierce when you were killing the enemy just now, young lady."
"Huh? Really? I don't remember."
Ye Qingcheng said cutely, and after saying that, she didn't dare to say anything more to the masked man and looked at Xiao Yi and the others.
"Let's go, leaving the two horses for them."
After saying that, he stepped onto the carriage and entered the carriage.
Following Ye Qingcheng's instructions, Xiao Yi and the other three mounted their horses.
Then they drove off into the distance.
The masked man stood there, watching Ye Qingcheng's departing carriage, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
At this moment.
His four guards came up.
"Master...they..."
The masked man laughed and said, "Well, what she said makes sense. Those two in the palace are sending out more and more powerful people to prevent me from going back. It would indeed be disadvantageous for them if we followed them all the way."
After hearing this, the four guards pursed their lips and said nothing more.
At this moment.
The masked man spoke again: "They left these two horses, so... Azure Dragon, Thirteen."
"Your subordinate is here."
"You two ride back to the capital first. Once you're back at your residence, send word that I am seriously injured and have returned home."
"Does Your Majesty mean you want to bewitch those two in the palace?"
“That’s right, if we don’t do this, there will be even more assassins along the way.”
"good."
"Also, after you go back, Thirteen, you will impersonate me, and Azure Dragon, you will appear in everyone's sight."
You are my personal guard in the open, always by my side. If people see you, they will believe I have truly returned.
"Yes, Master."
"Also, after returning to Beijing, thoroughly investigate this Doctor Ye."
"yes."
"Alright, you guys go first."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
After bowing, Qinglong and Thirteen mounted their horses and galloped away.
After watching the two men leave, the masked man turned to look at the other two.
"Leng Er, go to the secret door and inform the people there to find a herb called Heavenly Silkworm Grass."
"Yes, Master."
After Leng Er finished answering, he left.
The masked man then looked at those who had been killed by Ye Qingcheng and said, "Wu Ji, go and strip a couple of their clothes off so we can change into them."
"Yes, Master."
The two quickly changed their clothes and then left the dense forest.
This way.
Ye Qingcheng and her companions did not stop and rushed towards the capital.
Although they encountered several more groups of assassins along the way, Ye Qingcheng personally took action and quickly dealt with them all.
After a five-day journey, we finally returned to the capital.
After returning to Beijing.
Ye Qingcheng did not go directly to the palace, but instead sent Xiao Yi and the others back to the palace to report.
She went back to the cold courtyard to freshen up.
Unexpectedly, just as he jumped over the high wall and entered the cold courtyard, he saw Xiao Tao.
"Huh? Xiaotao, what are you doing here?"
At this moment, Xiao Tao was in the cold courtyard, fiddling with some pharmacology that Ye Qingcheng had taught her before.
After hearing Ye Qingcheng's voice.
Xiao Tao looked up at Ye Qingcheng and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, you're back!"
As she spoke, she rushed to Ye Qingcheng's side, hugged her tightly, and burst into tears.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly.
"Xiao Tao, what's wrong? Why did you come back to the Cold Courtyard?"
"Miss...the clinic..."
What happened to the clinic?
"The clinic has been shut down."
"What? What happened?"
“Miss, on the third day after you left the capital, someone filed a complaint with the Prefect of the Capital, saying that our clinic had caused a death. As a result, it was shut down, and Xiao Cunzi and the others were also taken away.”
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng immediately felt unwell.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
"Do you know who filed the lawsuit against us?"
"It was an older man who said his mother died from taking medicine prescribed by the clinic."
"What uncle? Who took care of his mother?"
"It's a small village."
"What symptoms? Do you know?"
"I heard from the village that the old lady came to get treatment for her cough. After examining her, the village doctor said it was a sore throat and prescribed some anti-inflammatory medicine for her."
But to our surprise, the very next day, the old lady's son sued our clinic.
Then the Prefect of the Capital sent people to shut down our clinic, and also took Xiao Cunzi and the others away.”
"Did the Prefect of the Capital arrest them from the small village without conducting a thorough investigation?"
"We checked, and they said the medicine our clinic prescribed for that old lady contained a suffocating ingredient."
"The suffocating component?"
"That's right."
"Hmph, such a thing has never happened since our clinic opened. Why did it happen when I wasn't there? Someone must be sabotaging our clinic."
