When Gu Jinke and Xun Ji arrived at the city gate, a thousand soldiers had already assembled and several princesses were also present.
Lord Guo, the head of the palace's imperial hospital, brought three imperial physicians with their own specialties, and sorted out some precious and rare medicinal materials, asking the soldiers to keep them for future use.
Taking into consideration that the imperial doctors were all older and the carriages could not keep up with the speed, soldiers with good horsemanship were specially assigned to take turns leading the imperial doctors.
Gu Jinke just glanced at the gray hair and wrinkles on the faces of the imperial doctors, and then looked at their skin, some of which were thin and some were plump but all were very delicate. I couldn't help but frown.
The group responsible for accompanying the trip this time was a group of Yulin troops, led by a tall and burly captain named He Chang.
Just like Gu Jinke, she looked up and down at the imperial doctors, her brows furrowed so sharply that they could pinch a fly to death. The imperial doctors felt very uncomfortable being stared at by her. Normally in the palace, apart from taking care of those distinguished masters, their status was very high in other areas. How could they have ever been looked at like this?
The fat imperial physician Yang smiled and said, "I wonder why the captain is staring at us..."
He Chang touched his chin and said, "I think the imperial doctors don't usually ride horses."
That’s for sure. He has his own carriage for daily travel, and occasionally riding a horse is a leisurely activity.
Several imperial doctors nodded, and He Chang smiled with an ambiguous tone: "Then the gentlemen should wear something thicker and softer on their legs. The journey is to Yancheng. Even if we ride at full speed, it will take nearly four days."
Yancheng is where the fifth princess fell unconscious.
Several imperial doctors looked annoyed. Was this a mockery of their lack of physical strength? He was about to refute it, but was stopped by Dean Guo.
The head of the academy smiled and said kindly, "Thank you for your reminder, Captain. We are old and cannot compare to you young people. We hope you can take care of us and not delay the treatment of the fifth princess."
"After all, we are all following orders from... Her Majesty the Queen."
He Chang's eyes flashed: "Of course."
Dean Guo nodded. The confrontation between them attracted the attention of several princesses.
The third and fourth princesses rode their horses closer and heard their conversation clearly.
Seeing that they didn't quarrel over this, the Fourth Princess smiled with great relief: "That's right, everyone should work together so that we can hurry over and see what's going on with the Fifth Princess."
The third princess also nodded and agreed: "Yes, work together!"
He Chang and Dean Guo bowed and responded.
Gu Jinke was sitting on his horse and watched this brief confrontation from afar, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
After all, she was the most senior person in this team, and she had the default authority to command. If the two sides started arguing...
Although the imperial doctors were embarrassed, they still listened to Dean Guo's advice and temporarily wrapped a soft piece of cloth around the inside of the thigh.
When Gu Jinke saw that everyone was ready, he immediately waved his hand and asked He Chang and the others to lead the way and set off quickly.
Because Yancheng, where the fifth princess stayed, was also a big city with official roads, most of them could run along the relatively flat official roads.
But even so, by the afternoon, the complexions of several imperial doctors were still not looking good from being shaken by the galloping horses. The expressions of several princesses were not very good either.
However, if he continued to run, the imperial physician would probably be the first to collapse along the way.
Gu Jinke had to stop and took the map, pointing to the nearest post station on the official road: "Today's goal is to stop here first, and rest for a day. Imperial Doctor Guo, you can prepare medicine or rest for a while. You have to set off at dawn tomorrow to make up for today's schedule."
Imperial Physician Guo looked pale and nodded: "I understand, Your Highness. I will follow your instructions."
They slowed down and finally arrived at the post station in the night.
The other imperial doctors looked at the post station and felt very fortunate and grateful to Dean Guo. If they had not stopped him from quarreling with He Chang of the Yulin Army in the morning, they would have been laughed at now.
The group stopped and the soldiers set up camp outside. Those of higher rank naturally stayed in the post station. Everyone was very tired and barely ate some of the meal. Several imperial doctors and Dean Guo bowed to express their gratitude and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Dean Guo walked last and repeatedly instructed the soldiers to keep separate guards on several particularly important medicinal herbs before he climbed up the ladder and returned to his room.
Gu Jinke also returned to her room early. It wasn't that she was very tired, but she had been running on the official road all day, and the dust and sweat were so unbearable that she came back early to take a shower.
The postman at the post station had already prepared hot water. Gu Jinke told Xun Ji not to stay there and asked her to go back and rest. However, Xun Ji still carefully checked the doors and windows before leaving.
After Xun Ji left, Gu Jinke undressed and stepped into the bathtub to wash.
As the hot air rose and the water vapor swirled, Gu Jinke felt his whole body relax, and the vague fatigue completely disappeared.
So comfortable! She leaned on the edge of the bathtub, tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes lazily, and prepared to soak and enjoy herself a little longer.
The house was very quiet for a moment, but the wind outside seemed to be very strong. The window seemed to be blown open a crack, and the whistling sound of the wind outside could be heard. Gu Jinke could even imagine the scene of the wind blowing up fallen leaves and dust and passing through the treetops.
Gu Jinke curled the corners of his mouth, listened to the wind quietly for a while, and noticed that the water was slowly getting colder. He stood up from the bathtub, wiped the water stains on his body with a dry cloth, then took out the prepared pajamas and put them on, tied the belt lazily into a knot, and walked towards the bed.
As she walked, her nightgown was loose, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. The hem of her nightgown moved with her, revealing a pair of straight legs that looked lifelike.
"Bang." There was a slight impact sound.
Gu Jinke chuckled, turned around and sat on the bed, pulling the collars on both sides to gather his clothes: "Oh, it's a male assassin, isn't it an old acquaintance from last time? Is he so greedy for my body? He comes to see me bathing?"
"Swish!" The sound of breaking wind was heard. The person who came seemed unable to tolerate her provocation. He jumped down from the beam, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Gu Jinke's heart.
Gu Jinke's eyes were cold, but he still had a smile on his face. He lay down and rolled on the bed, barely avoiding the tip of the sword. The tip of the sword, carrying the unstoppable anger of its owner, half-pierced into the cotton quilt and then nailed to the bed board, penetrating three inches into the wood.
"Oh, I'm so scared!" Gu Jinke patted his chest with a playful smile on his face.
The black-clad assassin's eyes were enough to kill people, and he didn't even bother to draw his sword. The hand with some thin calluses formed into claws, making a sound like wind, and grabbed Gu Jinke's neck.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart: She's just a powerless woman, and she's still thinking about flirting even when her life is at stake. Could it be that she can't have forgotten her identity as a princess?
However, he didn't expect that the person in front of him was faster than him. He took the initiative and attacked with great force. He grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward, throwing him straight onto the bed, then turned over and pressed down his legs.
The black-clad assassin was so shocked that he even forgot that she had pinned him down: "You know martial arts!"
Isn't she a person who just relies on her status as a princess to be superior, cruel and violent, and to give orders about the country?
She actually knows martial arts?
"Shh!" Gu Jinke quickly clasped his other hand with his middle finger, threw the sword aside with his free hand, then slowly raised his index finger in front of his lips, his almond-shaped eyes curved.
"Yeah, a little secret."
After getting the confirmation, the black-clad assassin's pupils shrank. What about the last time in the hot spring...
Gu Jinke seemed to know what he was thinking, with a smile in his eyes: "There are too many people, I want to take a vacation, it's so tiring to be on duty every day."
"Let me see who you are?"
The black-clad assassin's pupils shrank and he struggled hard. Unlike the previous situation, now he was at the mercy of others.
Gu Jinke, however, bent down slowly as if torturing someone, and slowly reached out to pull off the veil that was covering his face tightly.
"No!" The black-clad assassin was terrified, his beautiful eyes wide open, and he shouted subconsciously.
The tone was surprisingly panic-stricken and helpless.
"You say you don't want to, so you don't want to?" Gu Jinke replied in a low voice, with a hint of smile in his tone, but his hand did not stop and continued to move forward slowly.
Judging from the back, it looks like she is forcing a decent man to do something.
"Swish!" The window was pushed open, and a strong wind filled the entire room and directly blew out the candle. Someone jumped in from the direction of the wind: "They don't want it, so it's better not to force it."
The tone was deliberately changed to sound rough and unpleasant.
"There is actually a righteous passerby passing by." Gu Jinke murmured with a low laugh. He quickly struck the black-clad assassin on the neck with his palm, knocking him unconscious, and turned his head to look.
Under the hazy moonlight coming in through the window, the visitor was covered tightly from head to toe, but her tall and slender figure could not be concealed. It actually felt strangely familiar. But Gu Jinke could feel the obvious disgust and disbelief in the look he gave him.
The wind was rustling and a little chilly. Gu Jinke grabbed the clothes for tomorrow that were prepared at the bedside and put them on. It blocked some of the cold wind, but it couldn't hide the ups and downs of his curves.
"Who is it, sir?" she asked.
The man turned his head slightly, avoiding her gaze. "Just passing by by chance."
After all, the movement they made did make some noise, which made people realize that something was wrong, and there began to be a suspicious noise under the window. The man must have frowned, raised his hand, and the dust blew straight towards Gu Jinke with the wind.
Gu Jinke coughed and inhaled some medicine powder, then fell limply and lay motionless on the bed. The man quickly came over and turned her around, then pinched her chin to force her to open her mouth, stuffed a pill into her mouth, then he quickly pulled the man off the bed and left.
Before leaving, he said in a cold voice: "This is a rare poison that has just been developed. I am the only one who has the antidote. If you want to stay alive, don't send people to hunt you down. The antidote will be sent to you tomorrow night. Don't try to solve it yourself. They won't be able to find out anything and will kill you instead."
After saying that, he jumped out with his men and disappeared into the night.
Gu Jinke was slightly stunned, and savored the slightly sweet taste in his mouth, as well as several faint medicinal flavors. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
She pursed her lips, but finally couldn't control herself. She raised her hands to cover her eyes, lay on the bed, and laughed softly.
