"Wasnât the plan to send a letter to the prefecture? Just take him along to the prefecture so that people from Muâs Clinic can have a look. Later, Lord Marquis will send him back to the Capital City."
We canât just leave him here. Putting aside the Grand Emperorâs youthful indiscretions, he has been kind to us at the Ye Residence. We should not forget this favor.
Thus, Ye Liu carried the Grand Emperor over the hillside.
When mounting the horse, Ye Liu noticed that the man didnât move an inch.
"Madam, the man has fainted!" Ye Liu checked his pulse again, "Heâs very weak, and Iâm afraid he cannot endure a long journey or the jolting of the horse."
"In this case, letâs return to town first," Yang Chuxia thought for a moment and said, "There should be a doctor in town. Let someone take a look, and arrange a carriage in town afterward."
"But Madam, would it be safe to return to town?"
"Thereâs no need to worry. To them, we are strangers without a clear origin. Even if the innkeeper has plans, he likely wouldnât dare act hastily."
"Yes, as Madam says."
Thus, the group mounted their horses and returned to town.
It was already bright, and the innkeeper had just gotten up, preparing breakfast in the harem.
The innkeeperâs wife went up to knock on Yang Chuxiaâs room door.
"Knock, knock..."
"Knock, knock..."
After a few knocks without a response, the innkeeperâs wife felt puzzled and gently pushed the door, only for it to open immediately.
Peeking inside, she saw the quilts neatly folded. The bed looked as if no one had slept in it.
"Darling, darling..."
"Whatâs the matter? Youâre shouting so loud, even when youâre in bed, you donât shout this loud." The innkeeper came in displeased, holding a cloth.
"Oh, stop the nonsense. Come quickly and look, thereâs no one inside." The innkeeperâs wife was anxious, a rare guest had come, she hadnât even thought about what to do, and somehow they left.
"They left?" The innkeeper peeked inside, "When did they leave?"
As he said this, the innkeeper slapped his forehead and glared at his wife, "Itâs all your fault, see what happened now? Theyâve left, and we canât even manage to do anything. Such a good catch slipped away; oh dear, the money is gone."
"Bah! Youâre just money-minded," the innkeeperâs wife said, "Iâm telling you, itâs lucky we didnât make a move, or weâd be done for. This group left without us knowing, like ghosts, able to accomplish this feat, clearly theyâre the legendary masters. Such people could easily handle both of us."
Saying this, she touched her neck, immensely relieved that she hadnât acted last night.
"Then what was there to fear? Having consumed our drugs, even the gods would fall," the innkeeper said indifferently.
"You fool!" The innkeeperâs wife poked his head with her finger, "Itâs well known that those legendary masters are immune to poisons. Our little tricks can only fool common people, do you understand or not?"
Faced with her husbandâs stupidity, the innkeeperâs wife was at a loss for words.
"What are you doing standing in my room?"
The couple, who was just murmuring to each other, exchanged a glance and turned to see Yang Chuxia, fully dressed, standing at the stairway, looking at them with a radiant smile.
For some reason, the innkeeperâs wife suddenly felt a chill on her back.
"Haha..." the innkeeperâs wife awkwardly laughed, "I came to invite Madam down for breakfast, breakfast, haha."
"Is that so?" Yang Chuxia gave her a meaningful look, and as she walked past, she suddenly placed a hand on the innkeeperâs wifeâs neck, "I think your little neck is quite lovely, make sure it doesnât get broken."
