Kang Yueran rubbed Chai Shijing's back nervously, "Why do you do it yourself?"
The kick was very strong, and Chai Shijing's back was indeed a little painful. He held Kang Yueran's hand and said, "I'm fine! He has a dirty mouth, so I have to fight him." He thought the kick was too light!
Being protected by her boyfriend is a very sweet experience, and Kang Yueran was very happy.
The leader couldn't stand up even after being supported by others. His waist was in excruciating pain. "They are traitors. Put them in jail for me! I want to investigate them thoroughly!"
Chai Shijing said, "I'm afraid you can't investigate anymore. You won't be able to stand up again even if you don't die." He glanced at the other four people, "Anyone who wants to try again, come forward!"
The city guards would not want a paralyzed person. The four of them looked at each other, and the leader walked away quickly.
The shopkeeper came into the room and said in shock and fear: "Why are you provoking them? Those city guards are not to be trifled with!"
Kang Yueran said, "I'm sorry to trouble the shopkeeper."
"It's not a big deal. Businesses like this are bound to have trouble. I have a nephew who's also in the city defense force. I'll go talk to him and try to sort it out."
After you finish your meal, leave quickly. If the city guards come over later, please be patient and don't cause any more trouble for me."
The shopkeeper turned to leave, but Kang Yueran stopped him and handed him fifty taels of silver, "You can't go to Zhou Xuan empty-handed!"
The shopkeeper wasn't a bad person, so she didn't want to bring trouble to him. Besides, she had made a fortune last night, so she didn't feel bad about giving him fifty taels.
"I won't be polite with you anymore. Thank you for your understanding!" The shopkeeper took the silver and left.
Chai Shijing was still angry, "These people are really lawless!"
Kang Yueran asked Yiming and Dacheng to guard the door, and said to Chai Shijing, "Okay, don't be angry for now. Take off your clothes and let me see your wound."
"The wound is fine, it doesn't hurt now, don't worry!"
Kang Yueran refused to give up, and Chai Shijing couldn't persuade her, so he took off his clothes and let her see.
Yiming was angry and a little worried. He asked, "I don't know if the city will be closed. Master, should we leave now?"
The emperor is already very suspicious. If his identity is exposed, not only will it be difficult to explain to the emperor, but the crown prince will also be able to make a big fuss about it.
Kang Yueran understood Yiming's concerns and said, "Don't worry. There are countless merchants and civilians coming and going in Mingzhou every day. Not to mention the city guards, even Wang Shouye wouldn't dare to seal off the city at will. Let's leave after lunch!"
Chai Shijing said: "Yiming, listen to the young lady and have dinner!"
Hu Dacheng had a blind trust in Kang Yueran. "Yiming, let's eat. My daughter said there's no need to worry."
After finishing their meal, the four of them drove their carriage to the city gate. There was a long queue at the gate, and the yamen runners were checking each person one by one.
It took more than half an hour before Kang Yueran and others got out of the city.
Kang Yueran said: "Let's go back to Anzhou directly!"
Chai Shijing refused, "We agreed to go to the Taoist temple."
The carriage left the gate of Mingzhou. Kang Yueran lifted the door curtain and looked back. This trip to Mingzhou was really worth it. She got a mountain of coal and so many treasures.
Thinking of Mr. Wang, Kang Yueran laughed and thought of her as robbing the rich to help the poor. As for what would happen to the Wang family next, she didn't care.
Chai Shijing asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Kang Yueran shook her head, "No, I just think Mingzhou is very prosperous for me!"
In the evening, the four arrived at San Sheng Temple.
The abbot of San Sheng Temple received them personally. Because it was late, he did not take them to burn incense, but only lent them three guest rooms.
After coaxing Kang Yueran to sleep, Chai Shijing returned to his room and went to the main hall before dawn the next day.
In the main hall, a young Taoist priest was polishing a real-life statue.
Chai Shijing knelt in front of the life-like statue and made the same wish as he made at Lingfeng Temple.
After returning to the guest room and waiting for Kang Yueran to wake up, he said goodbye to the abbot and went down the mountain.
In the carriage, Kang Yueran asked him, "You went to burn incense so early in the morning? Why didn't you call me?"
"They say that only the first incense burning is effective. In fact, it is best to burn the first incense burning of the year, but I can't wait until the New Year, so I have to grab the first incense burning today."
Kang Yueran touched Chai Shijing's face and kissed him, "Ajing, you are so nice!" Some of Chai Shijing's actions really touched her.
Three days later, the four returned to Qingping Mountain.
Yi Li was greatly relieved to see Chai Shijing return safely. He handed a stack of official documents and letters to Chai Shijing and told him what had happened in the past few days.
"Yihong sent a letter saying that the Crown Prince has been trying to get help from the Ministry of Revenue; the Emperor summoned the Imperial Physician a few days ago, saying he has a cough; and the Concubine Shu sent a letter urging the Prince to return to the capital..."
Kang Yueran listened while making tea. She knew that it was time for Chai Shijing to return to Beijing.
Chai Shijing glanced at Kang Yueran and said to Yili: "I know, you can go down!"
The study was silent for a long time before Chai Shijing spoke first. "I'm going back to Beijing. Are you really not going with me?"
"We've already agreed on this, haven't we?"
Chai Shijing felt a little pain in his heart, and also a little aggrieved. "Okay! Then I'll wait for you to come to see me in the capital!"
His voice was so soft that it made Kang Yueran feel distressed. She ran over and sat in Chai Shijing's arms, "I promise I will come to see you, Ah Jing, smile!"
Chai Shijing smiled, then hugged Kang Yueran tightly in his arms without saying a word.
For three consecutive days, He Zeng would come in the morning and leave after lunch. They mostly talked about Anzhou's future arrangements.
The sun rises late in the winter mornings, and today, Chai Shijing is leaving.
