Chapter 221 Leaving the City
"The most urgent thing now is to pack up as quickly as possible and set off immediately. By the time we leave, the city gate will definitely be open."
"I'm ready. I'll go back with you now."
"As long as we hurry, we will definitely get back."
Gu Jingchun rarely gets so flustered.
Ye Wenxi's words also made her gradually calm down.
She nodded, without caring about anything else, and immediately went back to ask Lan Xin to pack up, and asked Xiaoman to call Gu Jinxi.
They moved very quickly, and since they had just come out of the palace today, they had not had time to take out many things, so there was no need to put them away now.
By the time everything was ready, the sky was already beginning to turn pale.
Gu Jingchun placed Gu Jinxi in another carriage.
Gu Jinxi was young after all and had no idea what was going on.
He opened his eyes, saw that it was Gu Jingchun, and asked.
"Mother, where are we going?"
Gu Jingchun said, "Let's go home and visit grandma."
Gu Jinxi nodded when he heard that, and a hint of happiness appeared on his face.
But in the end, he couldn't resist the sleepiness, and soon closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
The carriage was covered with thick blankets at this time.
Gu Jinxi lay on it, just as comfortable as lying on a bed.
Gu Jing put him down and snuggled up beside him again, trying to fall asleep as quickly as possible.
She must conserve her energy and must not fall behind.
In order to travel as quickly as possible, Ye Wenxi prepared only two carriages in total, just to make Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi more comfortable on the road.
He himself was riding on a horse.
They didn't bring much with them for the people around them.
In addition to Xiaoman and Lanxin, he only brought ten Jingwei to ensure Gu Jingchun's safety at all times.
Ye Wenxi sat high on his horse and saw Gu Jingchun carrying Gu Jinxi into the carriage.
She had changed into men's clothes and tied her long hair into a high ponytail. She looked neat and tidy, and really looked like a noble young master.
When Ye Wenxi saw her like this, his eyes darkened, and then he ordered people to set off with a cold face.
By the time it was bright and the city gates opened, Gu Jingchun's carriage had already slowly driven out of Tiandu City.
Tiandu is neither far nor near from Qi County.
Even if they drove a horse-drawn carriage, the journey would take at least a month.
But because the situation was urgent, they brought a lot of dry food along the way, prepared to travel day and night, and strive to arrive within half a month.
So, their carriage was moving very fast.
On the first day, Gu Jingchun only felt numbness all over his body, but it was barely bearable.
However, because Gu Jinxi was young, she was very happy and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
But the next day, Gu Jingchun felt as if his whole body was falling apart and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Especially after eating a dry pancake, I felt my stomach churning, and the discomfort became more and more severe.
Seeing that he was about to vomit, Gu Jingchun quickly stopped the carriage and immediately held onto the carriage and vomited violently.
"How are you?"
Seeing this, Ye Wenxi rode over on horseback.
Gu Jingchun shook his head when he saw this, and only then realized that Ye Wenxi looked completely different now.
There was stubble on his face, and he looked haggard, completely different from the humble young man he used to be.
Only then did she remember that she had been riding in the carriage for two days, while he had not rested for two days.
Look at the people around you, it's the same.
Therefore, Gu Jingchun made a prompt decision and immediately decided that he and Lan Xin would ride horses, and let these people rest in the carriage first.
Of course they are unwilling to do so, after all, it is not logical.
However, this was a special situation, so Gu Jingchun forced them to rest. Only in this way could they remain vigilant enough when encountering danger and better protect them.
After hearing this, Ye Wenxi nodded.
So, after some discussion, Gu Jingchun and they were divided into two groups and took turns resting in the carriage.
When Gu Jingchun and his companions were riding horses, three people would accompany them, and the rest would immediately get into the carriage to rest.
With this arrangement, Gu Jingchun, Lan Xin, Xiaoman and Ye Wenxi all rode on horses, while the others got into the carriage to rest.
Because Gu Jinxi was young, he and Gu Jingchun rode the same horse.
Everything was fine at first.
Gu Jingchun sat on the horse and felt much more energetic.
But as time passed, she felt severe pain in the inside of her thigh.
Just at this moment, Gu Jinxi started making a fuss again because she was feeling uncomfortable.
Because Gu Jinxi wanted to comfort Gu Jinxi, she only felt the pain worse.
Ye Wenxi saw his expression and knew what had happened.
So, she took Gu Jinxi in and took care of him herself, which made Gu Jingchun feel a lot more relaxed.
After a while, Gu Jingchun was in so much pain that his whole body was covered in cold sweat. It was obvious that he had reached his limit.
Seeing this, Ye Wenxi ordered people to change shifts.
Gu Jingchun and the others lay in the carriage and felt a lot more relaxed.
Gu Jingchun felt the pain on the inside of his thigh and couldn't help but secretly hate his weak body, which was really holding him back.
When she first went to Tiandu, she managed to survive any difficult situation.
Unexpectedly, after living in Tiandu for a period of time, especially in the palace, where he was treated like a noble and precious person, his body became much more delicate.
Fortunately, she can still hold on. I believe she will feel much better after a good rest.
After returning to the carriage, Gu Jingchun lay down and fell asleep almost immediately, without noticing that Ye Wenxi was lying beside her across from Gu Jinxi.
Ye Wenxi turned his head to look at Gu Jingchun's sleepy eyes, examined her face carefully, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Gu Jingchun didn’t know how long she had slept. When she woke up again, she was completely hungry.
Feeling her stomach rumbling, she felt helpless.
She opened her eyes and saw Gu Jinxi eating a chicken leg with relish. She finally understood why she was woken up by hunger.
At this time, another chicken leg was handed to Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun took it immediately and just after taking a bite, he found that Ye Wenxi had changed his clothes and even cleaned the stubble on his face.
He seemed to have regained his former appearance as a humble young man.
She couldn't help but be surprised.
"Where's the roast chicken?"
"I bought this when I just passed by the market. I also bought quite a few things. This time I don't have to worry about going hungry or having only bread to eat."
Gu Jingchun nodded, eating the chicken leg while looking at Ye Wenxi.
Ye Wenxi felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, so she explained with a blushing face.
"My previous clothes were too dirty, so I changed into another one."
Gu Jingchun nodded, and when he saw Ye Wenxi's red face, he realized that he had overstepped his bounds.
So, she lowered her head, concentrated on eating the chicken leg, and said no more.
However, Ye Wenxi looked at her face and his expression darkened a little.
And at this time in the East Palace.
Chen Hechuan hadn't received any news from Gu Jingchun for several days and couldn't help but feel anxious.
"What's going on over there?"
