C276

After changing into a luxurious carriage, the two maidservants by her side obediently changed into muddy shoes and took out a luxurious robe for her to wear.

The official's name was Qi Yanbai. He was over forty years old, and was tall and thin. He was even more respectful towards her, greeting her with a smile.

However, just now, when she got off the horse carriage, she saw that there were quite a number of officials following behind her. At the very least, there were about twenty of them.

The maid beside her seemed to still want to help her rearrange her hair, so Gu Danyan gently lifted her hand and lifted the curtain. He looked at Qi Yanbai, who was beside the carriage: "Lord Qi, why don't you come up and sit?"

"Your highness is a pure gold body, this humble one doesn't dare to cross the line." Qi Yanbai seemed to be shocked by her order and quickly refused. The surrounding pedestrians all looked over, so she could only pull the carriage curtain back.

The two maids beside her were kneeling in the carriage, feeling a headache coming on as they watched her.

It wasn't easy to get off the carriage, and the huge courtyard in front of her gave her a headache. She had no choice but to pull up her cape's hat and take off her veil to cover half of her face, exposing only her eyes to walk in.

Qi Yanbai followed close behind with his forearm extended.

"Lord Qi, I came here with a low profile, so there's no need for such a grand show. Tomorrow morning, I still need to go to Changping Village." Gu Daiyan pulled the brim of her hat, feeling that the gazes of those people were like goosebumps on her back.

"It's just that the empress dowager and prince have both warned me countless times to take good care of you. This one doesn't dare to slight you." Qi Yanbai gave a helpless smile and walked on for a while before continuing in a low voice, "If Her Royal Highness wants to go to Changping Village, I'll send someone to take you there."

"No need." Gu Liuyan was confused when he rejected the offer.

Even if the empress dowager had instructed her to do so, she didn't think it was a big deal. But why did the emperor and princes pay so much attention to her? Furthermore, judging from Qi Yanbai's respectful appearance, it didn't seem like he was here to watch her every move.

Even if she were to stare at him, she would naturally be unperturbed.

She did not say anything else and only grinded a lot of herbs for the hot spring late at night. She carefully wrapped them in a paper bag and then took out a fine yarn net to wrap them around herself.

Each of the medicine packs was as long as an arm wide. In just one night, several maids had placed a few pills by their side.

Qi Yanbai didn't seem to dare to let her stay up all night; he could only try his best to force her to rest. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop her, and so he could only stay by his side.

He glanced at the bags, then instructed the maidservants by his side, "Take these waist pouches and put them on a rope, then place them one by one in the hot spring the empress dowager wants them to soak in. When the medicinal smell is completely gone, replace them with new ones.

"Yes." Several maids woke up from their stupor and hurriedly tidied up the room.

Gu Danyan changed his clothes again and came out to see that the table that he had just cleaned had been cleaned up. He frowned and said: "Don't touch my table from now on."

"This servant deserves to die!" Several maids fell to their knees.

Gu Danyan rubbed his aching forehead, then looked at Qi Yanbai, who was still confused, and said in a low voice, "Lord Qi, you don't have to follow me. You just have to prepare a carriage for me, with a simple mouth."

"But …"

"If Lord Qi insists on coming, at that time, don't blame me for turning hostile." Gu Liuyan hadn't been able to force Qi Yanbai to back down even a little yesterday, so he could only put up a tough front.

Qi Yanbai had no choice but to agree. He wanted to send someone to follow him in the dark, but he heard Gu Liuyan say leisurely: "If I see half a shadow, Lord Qi will greet me."

With that, she put down the curtain of the carriage and the horse scampered off into the deserted streets.

Qi Yubai thought about it and decided not to send anyone to follow her. Instead, the gentleman who had been following behind him asked in a low voice, "Your excellency, if something were to happen to your highness, the imperial concubine …"

"It doesn't matter. The Jing King knows this place like the back of his hand. He definitely won't teach him a lesson." Qi Yanbai's gaze turned cold, but after some thought, he recalled Gu Liuyan's serious expression yesterday and helplessly said: "But this wangfei seems to be a drug addict, yesterday she just went to take care of a village woman, he doesn't seem to be someone to meddle in other people's business."

The mister by the side also felt reassured. He would definitely inform other people about this matter.

At this time, Gu Pingyan, who was resting in the carriage, had only slept for less than an hour before he woke up. He had a nagging feeling that there was something strange about this Yue Shan city.

Putting aside the fact that she hadn't seen a stall yesterday, when she woke up this morning, it should have been the time to deliver the vegetables. However, the streets were empty.

All in all, it was just a weirdo. However, Qi Yanbai and the rest of the officials did not look like they were eating, drinking, or gambling. They were all physically strong and physically fit.

Besides, she always felt uncomfortable in that big yard.

It didn't look like a place where there were people living, but unexpectedly, it seemed that just before she had moved in, a group of people had walked by.

After indulging in her thoughts for a while, she once again fell into a deep sleep.

When the sun rose, she also came to Changping Village. This time, she didn't dare let the horse carriage enter, but jumped off it with a large wooden box in her hands. There were also two medicine pillows on the wooden box that she had specially brought with her.

She hurriedly ran over to the ghost's house to pack up her things before carrying the large wooden box to find her nanny who was next door. She smiled and said, "Nanny, how about I make you some pastries today?"

"Sure." The mother-in-law chuckled and slapped her thigh. She was actually much more spirited than yesterday.

An old man and a young woman were busy in the kitchen under the shed. There were laughter coming from time to time. It seemed like the grandma was telling Gu Daiyan some old anecdotes.

When Mrs. Zou heard this, she pulled at the ghost next to her. "Is that girl your sweetheart?"

Gui Gui was startled and quickly shook his head. If his Royal Highness were to hear these words, it would be incredible.

Madam Zou helplessly patted him. "Then why is she helping you? Sky Flame isn't that close to us."

"I... "I taught her martial arts before." For a moment, Ghost didn't know how to explain. Madam Zou coughed a few times, and only brought the pillow over to gently smell it. "This smell, it feels a little comfortable …"

"Mother." The ghost called out but did not say anything else. He did not know what to say.

"She doesn't look promising at all." Madam Zou held the pillow of medicine and coughed twice. "He treats you so well. In the future, you must repay her kindness."

"Mother!" The ghost screamed again and kneeled in front of Madam Zou. With a hoarse voice, he said, "Your child has never been with you. Your child is unfilial!"
