"Wow! Second Aunt, look at that jewelry, it's so beautiful!" Li Hao pointed to the jewelry vendor next to him.
Suddenly he saw the weapons displayed at the entrance of the weapons shop, and ran up to them with a delighted expression. "Brother Gu, look! This knife is really sharp..."
Li Hao suddenly shut his mouth because he saw Li Erniang glaring at him fiercely. He immediately put down the dagger in his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Gu, I..."
Gu Liyan smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, I didn't mind."
Li Erniang scolded, "Hurry up and come push it!"
Li Hao said "Oh" and ran back to push the wheelchair.
Li Erniang had plenty of money and booked all the rooms in the inn so that Gu Liyan could recuperate properly. After all, when a person is blind, their hearing becomes exceptionally sharp.
"You take good care of your brother Gu, I'm going to buy medicine." Li Erniang said to Li Hao, "There's a small garden in this inn, you can take your brother Gu there to bask in the sun. Also, keep this medicine with you."
Li Hao took the medicine. "How do I take this medicine?"
Li Erniang didn't explain anything to Li Hao, but instead glanced at Gu Liyan and said, "I have planted 101 poisonous acupuncture needles in your body. The reason you are in so much pain is because these acupuncture needles are neutralizing the poison that will kill you in seven days."
Gu Liyan didn't say anything; he did feel that the pain in his body seemed to be getting worse every day.
"The sealing acupuncture needles initially clear toxins from your body, but later they break through the acupoints, open up blocked meridians, and then dissolve within your body. The pain won't disappear; it will only get worse!"
Li Erniang said seriously, "This medicine will temporarily numb your pain nerves, but it can be addictive. If you can't resist, you can ask Li Hao to give you one."
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I can still manage."
Li Erniang wanted to say something, but opened her mouth without saying anything. Finally, she sighed and said, "I'm going to prepare the medicine. It might take a few days. Haozi, you have to take good care of him. The bandages for his wounds must be changed every five hours, understand?"
Li Hao nodded. "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I know."
Li Erniang still had some concerns and instructed, "People in the city are different from people in the village. Don't mess things up!"
"I know, I know! Second Aunt, hurry up and go! Otherwise it will be dark!" Li Hao urged.
"You little brat..."
Before Li Erniang could say anything more, Gu Liyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Li Erniang sighed and said, "Then I'm leaving. Be careful."
After Li Erniang left, Li Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Ha! Erniang is finally gone. Brother Gu, shall I take you out for a walk?"
Gu Liyan thought for a moment and shook her head. "I want to take a nap."
"Huh? Then I..." Li Hao hesitated.
Gu Liyan naturally guessed Li Hao's thoughts: "If you want to go out, then go out. I'll just lie here."
"Okay, then..." Li Hao said with a smile.
Li Hao helped Gu Liyan lie down. "Then I'm going out to play. Brother Gu, I put the medicine by your pillow."
After saying that, Li Hao grabbed the money bag and ran out the door with a happy expression.
Gu Liyan smiled wryly, "This kid, even if you were placed next to my pillow, I wouldn't be able to move!"
Gu Liyan specifically tried it, but she still couldn't feel anything in her limbs—
"This is the East District, the closest to the Imperial Palace. From now on, the safety of this city will be entrusted to you." Qingge said to Lan Ying with a serious expression. "Chengxi will be in charge of the West District, Huangxi will be in charge of the North District, and I have sent Lüxiu to the South District. If you need anything, you can send someone to the Imperial Palace to find me."
Lan Ying, dressed in red armor, nodded calmly, looking dashing. "Leave it to me."
Qingge nodded, said nothing more, and prepared to return home. She had deliberately worn a veil today, intending to stroll around the city. After all, it had been a long time since she had returned, and she wasn't sure if the food she had eaten before was still authentic.
"You all go back to the palace first. I want to wander around by myself," Qingge said to the maids behind her.
"yes."
Qingge walked onto the main street of the East District, and watching the people come and go, she felt a sense of security. But this sense of security reminded her of the white-clad boy who had given her that sense of security.
"Gu Liyan, where are you right now?" Qingge asked, somewhat dejectedly. "Could it be that, in order to survive, you really became that woman's..."
Thinking about this, I suddenly heard a few people talking nearby.
"I heard that a young man in white robes just entered the city today. He's really handsome!"
"I think she's even prettier than Princess Qingge!"
Qingge was somewhat angry upon hearing this. How could a man in this world compare to a woman's beauty? They were simply incomparable!
However, considering Gu Liyan's stunningly beautiful face, it makes sense if the person they're talking about is indeed Gu Liyan.
Then the man said, "You know what, when you think about it, they're actually quite similar!"
"Hahaha, what a pity, that white-clad youth is not only not a woman, but also blind, and might even be paralyzed and disabled while sitting in a wheelchair!"
Qingge's expression changed, and she hurriedly ran up to ask, "What does the white-clad boy you were talking about look like? Does he have a pink peach blossom birthmark at the corner of his eye?"
"A peach blossom birthmark?" The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
"His entire eye was covered with gauze, I couldn't see any birthmarks."
Qingge breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great, then it's not Gu Liyan."
Qingge thought about it and realized it made sense. In her impression, Gu Liyan was so powerful, how could he possibly be blind and paralyzed?
"Young lady, are you looking for that person? I saw them check into Qingfeng Inn." The man said, pointing to the inn not far away.
