C810 810 Home on an urgent matter

Qin Xuan wiped off the medicinal stain on the corner of his mouth. His long and pale white fingers intentionally or unintentionally knocked on the side of the bed.

"Imperial Physician Gu, do you know how to reply?"

Qin Xuan asked with a smile in his eyes, but that smile did not reach his eyes.

"Rest assured Your Highness, I understand."

"Very good, send it to the imperial physician."

Qin Xuan ordered his butler.

After sending the imperial physician away, Qin Xuan got up from the bed and casually asked: "That woman has already left?"

"Yes, it's been over an hour."

"Did you send someone to watch?"

"Yes."

After that, Qin Xuan did not say anything, and only said: "Tell Chu He to come over, this king has something to tell him."

Liu Ruo Qing headed east while the Easternum stayed at the east side of the Nanling. It was never wrong to head east.

Feng Jing City was thousands of miles away from Jindu. After walking for a while, Liu Ruo Qing bought a horse from a horse dealer.

The 'tails' that had followed her but never disturbed her were still firmly following her at this moment.

Liu Ruo Qing pursed her lips, raised her eyes and looked at the tavern before him, and walked in.

"Waiter, give me a room. Also give me some food for this horse."

"Sure, please come in."

When he lifted his leg to enter the shop, Liu Ruo Qing turned his head behind him without batting an eyelid, and the few human heads hiding in the darkness immediately shrank back.

She retracted her gaze, and when she turned around, the corner of her lips that had been lifted slightly lowered. With a frown, she muttered softly, "What the hell is this Qin Xuan doing?"

With questions in her eyes, she stepped into the inn.

After finishing lunch, Liu Ruo Qing went back to the stable to wash her horses. Feeling the gazes from behind him, she threw the horse hair brush in her hand behind him, and heard a muffled grunt that she tried her best to suppress nearby.

"Everyone, you've followed me the entire way, aren't you tired?"

The expressions of the few people hiding in the shadows stiffened. After looking at each other for a moment, they heard Liu Ruo Qing say, "Come out. If Prince Duan has any questions, he can ask them directly.

When the few people in the dark heard her say the three words "Duke Wei", they knew that they had indeed been exposed and could only bite the bullet and walk out from the darkness, standing in front of Liu Ruo Qing.

A few embarrassed expressions could be seen on their faces. Looking back at their age, they were not even in the top tier yet. They lacked the experience and martial arts to follow others.

This was also why Liu Ruo Qing guessed that it was Qin Xuan who had sent him here.

If she was not an assassin with good martial arts skills, naturally she would not be used to kill her. In Nanling, she could barely recognize Qin Xuan as the only person who killed her.

However, she could understand why Qin Xuan was suspicious of her, so she sent someone to follow her.

That was why she guessed that it was someone Qin Xuan had sent.

Looking at the embarrassed looks on their faces, they had obviously tacitly agreed that they were Qin Xuan's people.

Liu Ruo Qing frowned, while giving the horses a bath with a water bucket, she said to the few people around him: "Go back and ask Qin Xuan for me, is your Nanling's method of repaying your savior the same as usual?"

Seeing their stiff expressions, she sneered, "Don't follow me, go back and tell Qin Xuan that I have no intentions towards him. It's just a coincidence that I accidentally came to Nanling and saved him."

Since they had been discovered, they naturally had no way of following him.

The few of them exchanged glances with their comrades, then cupped their hands towards Liu Ruo Qing and disappeared from her sight.

"Did she really say that?"

In the inn of the Yongping Mansion, Qin Xuan looked at the few subordinates that had returned to report and asked calmly.

The subordinate did not dare look at Qin Xuan, and only lowered his eyes and nodded, "Yes."

Qin Xuan's expression did not change at all, with his slender fingertips, he knocked on the table lightly. After a moment of silence, he heard Qin Xuan asking: "Did she say anything else?"

The leading person's face stiffened a bit. He glanced at Qin Xuan, and was hesitating as to whether or not he should reply.

"Speak."

Qin Xuan frowned, and asked.

"That lady asked me to come back and ask you, my lord, we …" The way our Nanling repays our savior is not all like you, your highness. "

Qin Xuan was startled, and Qian Wei, who was beside him, was also stunned. He looked at his master nervously, this master was not a generous person.

After a stifling silence, a few sneers sounded out from Qin Xuan's mouth, causing the few people in front of them to feel baffled.

Your Highness, this is...

"All of you can leave. You don't need to follow her anymore."

"Yes."

The few of them secretly heaved sighs of relief, and retreated from Qin Xuan.

Qian Wei looked at his master's unfathomable face, and rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment, "Your Highness, then we …"

Qin Xuan did not answer, he only squinted his eyes and looked out of the window, his fingertips hitting the table, intentionally or not. After a while, he stood up from the chair and said, "Let's go."

Qian Wei was startled, then nodded: "Yes."

The Eternal Ping Manor was about ten days away from the capital. Ten days ago, the two of them had avoided everyone's eyes and ears, and quietly left the Duke Yuan Palace, heading towards the Easternum.

On the other side, after Liu Ruo Qing dismissed the people following her, she stayed the night in Yongning County.

After washing up and putting on his clothes, just as he was about to open the door and leave, he felt two streams of warm liquid flowing out from his nostrils.

She touched the tip of her nose subconsciously. It was sticky, and her lips had a taste of blood.

She lowered her head and looked at her palm. On her palm, there was a glaring blood-red color.

She frowned and mumbled to herself, "The Nanling's winter is too dry."

She even had a nosebleed.

She went back to her room and washed her face again. After making sure that there was no blood, she went out.

"Shopkeeper, check out."

"Alright, this way, young lady."

Liu Ruo Qing stood in front of the counter. The shopkeeper was holding his abacus as he paid the bill, and at the same time, he sized up Liu Ruo Qing's expression, and said: "Miss, you're looking really bad. Do you want to rest for another day before you leave?"

"No need, I have to go home because I have urgent matters to attend to."

She casually waved her hand at the shopkeeper and smiled. When she said the word "home," her heart tightened.

His hand lightly touched the silver token hanging around his neck. Could it still be his home?

"Then be careful on the way. I can see that you're a bit pale, Miss."

"Ok, thank you, Shopkeeper."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded and thanked the shopkeeper, and asked the waiter to bring her horse over.
