Chapter 381 - 381 Entering the Capital (3)
381 Entering the Capital (3)
“I’ve already applied medicine,” Song Jingchen rubbed his nose and explained.
Shen Yijia glared at him. “This is a superficial wound?”
She turned around to get a teacup, but Song Jingchen stopped her. “Don’t waste it.”
He hid it because he didn’t want her to use the spiritual liquid. According to the time, she only had one drop of spiritual liquid now.
This time, the journey to the capital would not be peaceful. He was afraid that she would be injured again like last time without spiritual liquid to treat her.
“Are you cursing me to get hurt?” Shen Yijia could tell what he was thinking and rolled her eyes angrily.
She stopped picking up the teacup, held Song Jingchen’s head, and kissed him on the lips.
Song Jingchen couldn’t stop her and could only accept it. He was about to take the initiative.
Shen Yijia pushed him away ruthlessly.
“Hmph, you want a kiss when you’re lying? You wish.” she thought.
Shen Yijia turned around angrily, blew out the oil lamp, and climbed back into bed. She ignored Song Jingchen with her back facing him.
Song Jingchen was silent. When did he become the pervert?
“Someone wanted to kill Eunuch Deng and frame me,” Song Jingchen explained.
Fortunately, he had sent Rooster and Thirty Thousand to guard them just in case. Today, he happened to go to the county to see Fan Mingyuan. Otherwise, the other party would have succeeded.
Eunuch Deng and the others had been fine in Anyang County for more than ten days. However, something happened the moment he returned to receive the imperial edict.
When Emperor Chong’an heard this, he would definitely think that it was a provocation.
Shen Yijia held it in for a long time and could not help but say gloomily, “Then are we still leaving tomorrow?”
“Yes, the longer we delay, the more chances the other party will have to attack.”
If he was not wrong, this should be the other party’s last resort. It would definitely take time to rearrange it.
Previously, they did not make a move because he was not in Anyang County at that time. Even if they killed Eunuch Deng, they could not frame him.
Shen Yijia had no objections. Anyway, Song Jingchen’s injuries would recover tomorrow.
At the end of May, the Song family’s door was locked, and the group set off for the capital.
There were a total of three carriages. Two carriages would be enough for eight people, but there was also Furball.
Originally, Song Jingchen wanted to put Furball back in the mountains. Furball was unwilling, and Shen Yijia was a little reluctant. In the end, he could only bring it along.
However, Song Jingchen also said that even if he brought it to the capital, he couldn’t continue to raise it by his side.
There was a chance that Emperor Chong’an or other nobles would take a fancy to Furball.
If that happened, they would be stuck in a dilemma.
In the end, they decided to send Furball to the mountain where the Hidden Spirit Temple was.
Because of the existence of the Hidden Spirit Temple, hunting was not allowed there.
The Hidden Spirit Temple was in the suburbs of the capital. Shen Yijia could occasionally visit it, so she did not have to worry about Furball being hunted.
Not long after they left the village, Mo Yuan’s voice came in. “Miss, Young Master, there’s a carriage blocking the road ahead.”
Shen Yijia stopped stroking Furball and lifted a corner of the curtain to look.
“Liu Jinbao?” Shen Yijia was surprised.
“Sister-in-law Song, I brought you some snacks.” Liu Jinbao walked over with two food boxes.
Shen Yijia looked at the sky. Liu Jinbao must have left before dawn to be here at this hour.
Seeing that Shen Yijia did not refuse, Mo Yuan took the initiative to accept it.
“Thank you. Sister Huan and Brother Hao are in the second carriage.” Although Shen Yijia was a little narcissistic, she was not narcissistic enough to think that Liu Jinbao was here to send her off.
Liu Jinbao cupped his hands politely. When Sister Huan and Brother Hao heard the commotion, they had already jumped out of the carriage.
As for Miaomiao, he had bullied her before. She was afraid of him.
The few of them finished talking in less than ten minutes.
It was not until Shen Yijia unintentionally asked that Sister Huan said, “Liu Jinbao said that he doesn’t want to be a bookworm anymore and wants to be a general.”
They first went to the county city to meet up with Eunuch Deng and the others. Eunuch Deng was nearly assassinated and was saved by Song Jingchen.
Even if Song Jingchen said that he wanted to travel overnight, he didn’t dare to have any objections.
Originally, at his speed, they would be able to reach the capital in half a month.
However, Song Jingchen slowed down. If he could enter the city and stay in an inn, he definitely wouldn’t choose to stay at a rest stop outside the city.
Even if they had to take a detour, they had to enter the city to rest.
Shen Yijia remembered that Song Jingchen was the same when they came out of the capital. In the blink of an eye, she had been in this world for almost two years.
They would take the same path and occasionally stay in the inn they had stayed in before, but they were going in different directions.
Back then, they were chased away with their family feud. Now, their family feud was still there. They were going back to take revenge.
The team traveled for another half a month before entering Qiu Ning County. There was still Peng City between this area and the capital.
As usual, the carriage stopped in front of an inn.
They had to rest after entering the city. Everyone was already used to it.
This time, Rooster, South Wind, Thirty Thousand, and Mo Yuan followed. There were a lot of people, so they booked an independent courtyard behind the inn.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary chaos, Furball stayed in the carriage.
Eunuch Deng and the others lived next door to their courtyard.
They paid for it.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Back then, you asked us to leave, but now, His Majesty wants us to go back. Of course, you have to bear all the expenses along the way.”
When they discussed it, Eunuch Deng said, “You don’t have to pay to stay at the rest stops.”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “What? His Majesty doesn’t have money?”
