Master Qing Yuan smiled, looking at Duan Qingxi with a hint of respect in his eyes. "We've been busy for a long time today, and it's time to have a good rest. If you don't mind, why don't you stay in the temple for now?"
Duan Qingxi declined politely, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I just promised my father and brother that I would go back, and I can't go back on my word. Besides, I'm not tired..."
Master Qing Yuan did not force them. He nodded, reminded them to be careful on the road, and then personally escorted them down the mountain.
Duan Qingxi always felt that Master Qingyuan was weird. Although the two of them were master and disciple, because this relationship came out of nowhere, the two of them did not feel any closeness.
However, Duan Qingxi didn't feel awkward when interacting with him. Instead, she felt it was very normal, just like meeting and chatting with an elder she was on good terms with.
Duan Qingxi didn't think too much about it. It was quite late when he returned to the general's mansion, but Duan Hong and Duan Sijin had not gone to bed yet.
Duan Qingxi asked in surprise, "Dad, brother, why haven't you gone to rest yet?"
Didn’t she send someone back a long time ago to tell her that she would be back very late?
Duan Hong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her return safely, and then said, "It's okay, Daddy also has something to take care of."
Duan Sijin glanced at him with disdain, but didn't expose him. Instead, he looked at Duan Qingxi and said, "You've been working hard all day, you must be tired. I asked someone to make some bird's nest for you. Remember to drink it later."
As he spoke, he looked at Chan Xue again and said, "You two have worked hard too. Let's have a drink together later."
Duan Qingxi chuckled and said, "Brother, it's true that I did it for Xue'er, I'm just doing it for the sake of convenience, right?"
Chan Xue was panicked and embarrassed when she heard this, and said angrily, "Miss, please don't talk nonsense!"
Duan Sijin was also a little embarrassed and said, "Nonsense, remember to finish drinking the bird's nest."
Having said that, the man left.
Duan Hong, who was still standing there: ...
Ninth Prince's Palace.
Helian Sheng sat at his desk, dealing with the traitor and all official business before asking Su He, "What has Xi'er been busy with lately?"
Su He quickly said, "Your Highness, I'm busy with the free clinic."
She had said before that she was going to provide free medical treatment, and Helian Sheng knew about this, but he was still a little surprised when he heard Su He say that, and she actually went.
Seeing that Helian Sheng was interested in this, Su He told him everything that happened today.
When Helian Sheng heard that she hadn't rested all day and had only been treating the common people, he frowned and said, "How can Xuan Yi and Xuan Er do things? How can they let her be so willful!"
Upon hearing this, Su He quickly explained, "Your Highness, it was the princess who didn't want to rest. She even forced the maidservants around her to rest, but she stayed there to treat the people. However, the princess is fine, and I heard she was still alive and well when she returned."
After hearing Su He's words, Helian Sheng's expression looked a little better.
Su He couldn't see his expression, but based on his past experience, the prince should not be that angry.
After a pause, Su He continued, "By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that the princess will be going to the Holy Dragon Temple for a free medical consultation in the next few days. Should we go over and take a look?"
Helian Sheng thought for a long time before saying, "Then go."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away..."
"No need to make any arrangements, I'm just going to take a look."
“…”Oh, so the prince wanted to go and see it quietly.
