The man led his men away from the post station and did not notice anyone chasing them. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped in the woods.
"Okay, it's safe. Walk forward half an hour and you will find a dilapidated temple. Go there first to hide from the wind. Wait until they leave, then go home on your own." His voice was still rough and unpleasant, but he still gave detailed instructions.
The man he rescued didn't say a word, but he remembered that he felt someone woke up on the way.
Don't be scared, okay?
He rubbed his sore arm in confusion and looked at him.
But when he looked carefully, through the vague outline revealed through the veil, he realized that the man in front of him was dressed very similar to him.
He was covered from head to toe with a black veil, and the man in front of him was masked with a black cloth. The beautiful eyes that were vaguely revealed looked very familiar.
"Who are you?" He stepped forward puzzledly and pulled off the black cloth covering the man's face.
The black-clad assassin was dizzy and had not yet come to his senses. He was caught off guard and his veil was pulled off by the assassin.
The facial features are exposed to people.
The man in black quickly covered his face, turned around and ran away.
The man in black veil who was left there narrowed his eyes, still holding the torn black cloth in his hand. Even with a quick glance, he recognized him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's you!?"
He took a deep breath and chased after him.
Unlike the man's surprise, Gu Jinke smiled for a while, stood up to light the candle, and picked up the sword that was thrown aside.
Xun Ji appeared from somewhere and walked under the light and shadow.
Gu Jinke glanced at her, then held the hilt of the sword and looked her up and down, then ordered, "Go check the men in the Chen family."
This person took action twice, once by herself and once by Xue Luan. Later, they captured Li Yuxin but also brought him back alive.
As for her most recent addition of people who wanted to kill her, the first one was from the Chen family. The man attacked twice, with some stereotypical traces of a military commander, such as... he was direct and stabbed directly in the head, and his hiding skills were only mediocre, as he had no experience.
So she always finds out early.
Xun Ji responded, and then asked, "The man behind...?"
Speaking of this, Gu Jinke's eyes flashed with interest: "Don't worry, isn't he going to deliver the antidote tomorrow?"
Moreover, she always felt that she knew this person.
Even if he didn't come, she had a feeling that they would meet again someday.
After finishing his work, he could finally sleep peacefully. Gu Jinke slept all night and woke up feeling refreshed.
Several imperial doctors were not in good condition and had to climb down the stairs sideways, but they slept well last night and were in good spirits.
Several princesses were not very good either. Although the royal family taught every princess to develop well in all aspects of literature and martial arts, only few succeeded. Everyone has their own preferences. The second, third, and fourth princesses are all weak and gentle. The fifth princess is more focused on martial arts. As for literary talent...
But the good thing is that they are all younger than the imperial doctors. They have stern faces and walked down the stairs calmly.
After they finished their breakfast, they started on their journey again before it was fully light.
We only stopped at noon to eat some dry food and then continued on our way.
It was not until the sun was about to set that they found a flat place, set up camp and rested there.
He Chang took his men to set up the tents for several princesses first, and then took his men to help the imperial doctors set up camp.
This time, several imperial doctors sat on the grass with their backs leaning against each other, too lazy to even lift their eyelids. Only Dean Guo reluctantly raised his head, smiled at He Chang, and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Captain, for your hard work for us."
After looking him up and down, He Chang, who was about to speak, suddenly became speechless and didn't know what to say.
She snorted coldly, set up tents for several people, and left quickly.
The other imperial doctors were already very tired, but when they saw the tent was set up, they instantly became energized and stood up and went in.
Dean Guo sat there for a while, smiled, lowered his head, and was about to stand up and go into the tent. Suddenly, a hand stretched out in front of him. It was slender, white and delicate. "Let me lend you some strength."
Dean Guo was stunned. With her lowered eyes, she could clearly see the gold thread rusted on the boots of the person in front of her in the dim sky. She hesitated for a moment, but still put her hand on it and stood up with the help of the person in front of her. Then he immediately withdrew his hand and bowed: "This old minister greets Your Highness."
Gu Jinke put his hands behind his back and smiled: "After all these years, Imperial Doctor Guo still has the same good temper."
Imperial Doctor Guo's heart surged with warmth, and her eyes became hot. She bowed down and called softly, "Your Highness."
She has been an imperial physician in the palace for many years. She has a good temper, is kind, and has good medical skills. Over the years, she has steadily become the head of the hospital. Speaking of which, over the years, which of the Queen and her children has not received medical treatment?
She probably also understood the tempers and attitudes of these nobles.
Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who had always treated her coldly in the past, actually smiled today. This instantly brought back the memory of Dean Guo to her memory of when she was four or five years old, thin but fond of smiling.
Gu Jinke pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, making his face look more serious and cold: "Thank you, Imperial Doctor Guo, for the past two days."
Imperial Physician Guo understood what she was talking about in an instant. They were thankful that she did not have any dirty dealings with the leader He Chang, causing the entire team to become cold or create conflicts, thus affecting progress and delaying the emperor's order.
It's just that she has probably always had this kind of temper, so Your Highness doesn't need to be like this. Moreover, she leaned forward and bowed again: "Thank you for your good care along the way, Your Highness."
It was indeed hard for them along the way, but Imperial Physician Guo knew that if it were not for the Crown Princess's command, the team would not have been so stable even if she and He Chang had not quarreled.
Gu Jinke waved his hand and said, "Doctor Guo, please go to bed early." After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and walked away with his hands behind his back, as if he had just passed by by chance.
Imperial Physician Guo looked at her back and smiled, so Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess hasn't changed over the years.
The moon is high in the sky and the night is dark.
Gu Jinke sat in the tent for a long time, but no one came to bring her the antidote. She could only sigh in disappointment. It seemed that he realized something was wrong?
Don’t dare to come?
Feeling that the fun was missing, she could only put out the candle and take a rest.
We continued our journey on the third day.
Capital city, Li Prefecture.
In Li Qi's study, Li Yuxin stood with her hands hanging down, while Li Qi paced behind the desk with her hands behind her back. Her steps were very slow, but Li Yuxin still felt unusually anxious and hesitant.
He slowly lightened his breathing and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Li Qi pondered for a while, her eyes gradually calmed down, she turned around, took a look at her son, and saw that he was becoming more and more handsome and charming. Even a simple piece of clothes could not hide his brilliance and elegance. Satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
"I recently received news, and I have been a little hesitant, but you must get close to the three princesses in the future. It would be best if you can arrange the marriages of the princesses in the palace. I hope that the third prince will be you."
Li Yuxin lowered his eyes and was surprised for a moment. Wasn’t it decided before?
Why did you suddenly choose the third princess?
Even if she is not the Crown Princess, then she should be the Fifth Princess who holds military power, right?
Is it to help in times of difficulty? But Li Qi is not such a person.
Although Li Qi's words were polite, Li Yuxin knew very well that both the best and the hope had to be replaced by the necessary.
He did not hide his surprise, and Li Qi could naturally notice it. She glanced at her son. At this stage, she was still very satisfied with her son and did not mind saying a few more words.
She knocked on the table, ambition in her eyes, and a proud smile on her face: "I think that perhaps everyone has been deceived by His Majesty about the true location of the Sacred Heart..."
"Ah!?" Li Yuxin exclaimed in a low voice.
Li Qi gave a short, complacent laugh. She glanced at Li Yuxin and narrowed her eyes: "Of course, if you have the ability, you can get a few princesses..."
She spread out her palm and clenched it slowly, with undisguised ambition and desire in her eyes.
Li Yuxin's eyelashes trembled: "I will do my best."
Li Qi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Go to the warehouse and get something for your father later."
Li Yuxin walked out of the study and slowly exhaled. He understood Li Qi's last words. He went to the storeroom to get something for his father. In the next half month, his father would be the only one favored in the mansion, and no one could surpass him.
With a flash of mockery in his eyes, he slowly walked towards his own courtyard. Halfway there, he met Wen Xin, his personal servant who was looking for him.
"Master, Master Xue is here to look for you. He's already waiting in the courtyard."
Li Yuxin nodded, his eyes finally flashing with some ease and sincerity. He quickened his pace and rushed to the courtyard. When he reached the door, he saw Xue Luan rushing over. He hugged him and shouted happily, "Axin!"
Li Yuxin was staggered by his charge, his legs became weak and almost collapsed. He frowned quickly, stood firm, and said helplessly: "You are already a young master who is going to discuss marriage, you should be more steady."
Speaking of this, Xue Luan's big eyes rolled around, he looked around, pulled Li Yuxin into the room, and did not allow anyone to come in to serve him, obviously wanting to have a private conversation.
Li Yuxin watched him take off his shoes and get on the couch, so he slowly took off his shoes, then climbed onto the couch calmly and sat down without observing etiquette.
Xue Luan looked at him strangely: "Ah Xin, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yuxin's inner thigh was rubbed and rubbed just now, and it was burning with pain, but he still smiled calmly: "The doctor who injured my leg last time said that it would heal faster this way."
Xue Luan didn't ask any more questions and nodded in understanding.
Li Yuxin glanced at him and smiled, "Well, there's no one here now, just say whatever you want to say."
A light pink color spread across Xue Luan's face, and he looked shy for the first time. Li Yuxin raised her eyebrows, looking charming: "Xue Luanluan, you didn't suddenly find a lover, did you?"
"Ah!? Absolutely impossible!" Xue Luan immediately retorted, his face flushed.
His sweetheart must be the most gentle and kind person in the world who treats him the best.
"Then why are you blushing?" Li Yuxin asked.
Xue Luan found it difficult to speak, but he still leaned close to Li Yuxin's ear and hesitantly told her about his meeting with Gu Jinke on the day of the fundraising.
He didn't know what was going on. After he went back, he kept thinking about the soft place he hit that day, and he also had an embarrassing dream. He was almost annoyed to death, but Xin was praying at home two days ago, so he couldn't come over. But he finally held it in until today, and finally he could tell Xin about it.
Li Yuxin frowned slightly. He looked at Xue Luan's pink round face, which showed some distress, but still very simple and innocent. He thought of what Li Qi said in the study.
A dark light flashed in his eyes, and he decided to put out this spark as soon as possible.
He pretended to be in deep thought for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Xue Luanluan, this is because your mother and father want to choose a wife for you, and you are anxious, so you have wild thoughts. Don't go astray. You should quickly think about who is the best wife for you in the world."
Xue Luan was stunned. Besides his mother and father, the person he trusted most was Li Yuxin. "Is that so?"
It turned out that he was too anxious and felt a little embarrassed. But Asin was right, the princess was completely different from the kind of wife he wanted, a million miles away from her. He thought of the sword that Xun Ji had placed on his neck and trembled with fear. He was indeed crazy.
Li Yuxin nodded, then leaned closer to him, her eyes twinkling, and whispered, "I'll tell you a little secret, too. I discovered... I like Her Highness the Princess."
The author has something to say:
Your Highness: What did you say?
Li Yuxin: I like Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess~
