On the way back, Ye Jinyun was still in shock and kept paying attention to whether anyone was following him. After confirming that no one had noticed him, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Qing'er looked puzzled at her master's appearance, she still followed him quietly and tactfully.
After returning to the room and closing the door, Ye Jinyun asked Qing'er to pour her a cup of tea to calm her nerves.
Only then did Qing'er ask the doubts in her heart: "My lady, what's wrong with you? What happened just now? Why did you suddenly come back in a hurry with me, and you looked scared all the way."
Ye Jinyun patted his chest and whispered in her ear: "Qing'er, don't ask. It will be unsafe for you to know this. Remember, you must not tell anyone where we passed today, otherwise you may easily get into fatal disaster."
When Qing'er heard that the situation was so serious, she opened her mouth in horror and nodded heavily: "My lady, don't worry, I will never tell anyone."
Ye Jinyun nodded. She knew Qing'er would not tell anyone. Although she knew Qing'er didn't know what she had heard, she still had to tell her so that she could feel at ease.
Because she was different from ordinary people, she was able to hear the conversation clearly even at a distance from the bushes. Although Qing'er was with her, she was unaware of the conversation, which meant that they were still some distance away from the place where the conversation took place. Fortunately, they were some distance away, so she took Qing'er for a few steps and then turned to another road without being discovered.
Otherwise, if someone else had heard it today, they would probably be caught. She believed that the person she was talking to would come out to check after she left. In fact, it was just as she thought, but she just didn't know it.
Thinking of what she had just heard, Ye Jinyun couldn't help but hold her forehead. What bad luck she had that she could encounter such a thing that could bring her death.
The woman claimed to be from the Chu family, and also mentioned words like sister and queen. Aren't they the imperial concubine and Chu Zhaoyi in the palace, and the Chu family behind them? She couldn't afford to offend any of them. She ignored all these words. It was none of her business anyway. Her life was the most important thing.
After sitting for a while, she asked Qing'er to ask the servants from the villa to bring her lunch. She had lunch alone in her room. Lin Qingtang had gone hunting with her second brother, and Yu Wan'er was probably still reminiscing with her family, so she didn't wait for her.
After finishing her meal, she went to take a nap. She had things to do in the afternoon and needed to rest.
After sleeping for about an hour, Ye Jinyun woke up, called Qing'er in, and asked her if Yu Wan'er had returned. Qing'er reported what she knew truthfully:
"My dear, Miss Yu came back after you went to bed. After dinner, she knew you were taking a nap, so she stayed in her room for a while and then went out again, saying she was going to watch a polo match."
Ye Jinyun nodded after hearing this. She just loved the fun of the crowds, so it was normal for her to go out and play. It was better if no one knew what she was going to do.
After changing into clothes that were more convenient for traveling, and asking Qing'er to change her clothes and take her things with her, the master and servant quietly walked towards the backyard.
They walked to the corner of the backyard wall, pushed aside the green plants, and revealed a dog hole. Qing'er crawled out of the dog hole first, then took the bag from Ye Jinyun's hand, and then reached out to help Ye Jinyun who had crawled out. The master and servant then walked one after another into the mountain behind the villa.
After walking for a while on the not-too-steep mountain road, Ye Jinyun seemed to have discovered something and asked Qing'er to quickly take out the things in the bag.
Qing'er opened the bundle, revealing a small wrapped hoe, and what Ye Jinyun discovered was actually a herb.
It turned out that the powder she had brought into the palace to depict the red spots was about to run out, and she had been worrying about where to get some more materials to make it. As a result, she learned that she would follow the emperor to the forest farm for autumn hunting, and she immediately felt that God was helping her.
What is the most abundant thing in the forest farm? Of course, it is mountains and deep forests. The vegetation in the mountains and deep forests is the most lush, and the herbs she uses to make medicinal powder may be found there. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity for her to collect some herbs needed in the formula and go back to make medicinal powder? So she asked someone to take a letter to his eldest brother, asking him to help her customize a small hoe, which he handed to her when they met yesterday.
Because the hoe was made extremely small and exquisite, it was wrapped and kept close to the body without being detected, so the two of them successfully completed the handover of the small hoe.
The purpose of Ye Jinyun wanting this small hoe was naturally to dig herbs. Although this small hoe was a bit small, her elder brother asked the craftsman to make it very handy and easy to use. In a short while, the herbs were dug out with the roots. Ye Jinyun quickly asked Qing'er to put them into the bag.
After walking a little further into the mountains, Ye Jinyun dug up some different kinds of herbs. There weren't many, and they were far less than the materials needed to make medicinal powder. He looked at the sky and realized that it had been almost an hour since he came out, so he immediately took Qing'er down the mountain.
The two of them returned to the dog hole they came from. Qing'er went in first, took the things in, and helped Ye Jinyun over.
After the master and servant came over, they restored the vegetation in front of the dog hole to its original state, took out the clean embroidered shoes that had been hidden in the grass nearby, changed the muddy shoes, put them in the bag, and then the master and servant returned without anyone noticing.
After being assigned to this yard yesterday, Ye Jinyun looked around the yard. When she found the dog hole in the backyard, she was excited for a long time. She originally thought that she could only climb over the wall secretly to get out, but she didn't know there was such a ready-made dog hole to drill through. It really saved her a lot of effort and it was not easy to be noticed.
Although she could follow the hunting team into the mountains openly, she could not let others know what she was going to do in the mountains. How could she dig herbs if she followed the hunting team? So she could only go into the mountains secretly to dig.
