Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“I don’t know where Lady Qin is now. She entrusted the Bai family to take care of Imperial Doctor Tian and Mr. Du. At least we didn’t disappoint her previously, but after this disaster… I wonder what it will be like.”

Bai Shiyuan muttered to himself.

He didn’t know why he suddenly thought of MO Ruyue. Perhaps it was because her charisma was too strong, and she was outstanding in all aspects, making people feel a sense of security and trust.

It was the Bai family’s blessing to be able to make such a friend before the disaster.

He suddenly got up and walked to the door. He opened the door and said to the personal servant waiting outside, “Go and arrange for two people to escort Imperial Doctor Tian and Mr. Du’s family away. Then, find another safe place to settle down.”

“We must leave enough money and food. The people we send cannot be involved with our Bai family. In short… Try your best to cut it.

He was already preparing for the worst-case scenario.

If there was still no news of King Zhennan and the Xiao family in a few days, then he could only stake everything on the risk of breaking through the later stages.

“Yes, Young Master. I’ll do it now.”

Just as the servant was about to leave, he was stopped by Bai Shiyuan.

“Wait, it’s better to leave a message for Lady Qin. Just say that we have let her down and hope that she can forgive us.”

He hesitated for a while before saying this.

If it was possible, he would not be willing to break his promise.

The manservant responded and left. Very soon, he began to dispatch the people ana acc according to Bal shiyuan’s Instructions.

Imperial Doctor Tian and Du Zhongheng had been evacuated by the Bai family. They had only gotten separated when the natural disaster struck. It was not easy for them to reunite in two different places.

Because of his medical skills, Imperial Doctor Tian’s life was relatively better.

Some places had food, medicine, and no doctors. The appearance of Imperial Doctor Tian was like having a pillow when one fell asleep. Both of them could take what they needed.

Du Zhongheng’s days were much worse.

Although he had received MO Ruyue’s warning, he was still reluctant to part with the only book collection that he had collected for a long time when he fled. As a result, he did not have the time to bring some gold, silver, and food.

In the end, after the disaster, the most useless thing was the scholar and the book in his hand. Everyone was struggling to survive Who was willing to exchange even a leaf for a book?

As a result, Du Zhongheng could not even make a living apart from a box of priceless books. He almost starved to death on the streets.

Fortunately, the Bai family was the first to find him. If they had come a day later, they might have only seen him die on the streets.

After reuniting with the Bai family, Imperial Doctor Tian and Mr. Du’s days became better again. They also gave up on the idea of settling down in a relatively stable city along the way.

“Since Lady Qin is planning to go to the capital, then we might as well make a trip. At least we don’t know where to find her in the vast world outside, but if we are in the capital, we will definitely find her as long as we keep looking.” This was Du Zhongheng’s first reaction after hearing the news about MO Ruyue.

“This old man also retired from the capital. Although it’s not like before, I still have some connections. Perhaps when Lady Qin wants to gain a foothold in the capital, this old man can also help.”

Imperial Doctor Tian considered it from another angle.

Back in the county town, Huichun Hall and the people had benefited a lot from MO Ruyue. Now, it was time for him to repay her.

Because of their firm attitude, Master Bai finally gave up the idea of finding a suitable place for them to stay and continued to take the two of them on their way.

If not for the fact that the Bai family’s identity was suddenly exposed, Bai Shiyuan would not have made the decision to send the two of them away secretly.

As long as the cutting work was done well, the higher-ups should not make things difficult for Imperial Doctor Tian and Du Zhongheng. After all, if everyone knew the identity of the Bai family and wanted to be on good terms with them, the higher-ups would have long followed the clues and come looking for them.

After learning that they had to leave first, Imperial Doctor Tian and Du

Zhongheng made the same choice.

“Our two families have chosen to travel together and head to the capital first to make early plans for Lady Qin’s arrival. Please also thank the Bai family head for taking care of us in these days. I hope we can meet again in the capital in the future.”

As Imperial Doctor Tian spoke, a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.

When the Bai family began to secretly move Imperial Doctor Tian and Du

Zhongheng, MO Ruyue’s carriage finally arrived at Chu City just after noon.

Uncle Liu had been loitering around the city gate since early in the morning, from the time the city gate was not opened until late in the morning.

He had been sitting at a roadside stall, ordering a bowl of oil tea and slowly eating it. His eyes had been fixed on the pedestrians passing by the city gate, afraid that he would miss MO Ruyue’s trail.

This was something that they had agreed on long ago, saving MO Ruyue the time to enter the city and pretend to look for him.

As for the reason, it was very simple. Once he settled down, he would take the initiative to look for MO Ruyue and wait for news. This reason was completely reasonable and would not arouse Deng Feng’s suspicion.

In order to be the first to see Uncle Liu, MO Ruyue had even specially found an excuse to inform the city guards when they entered the city. Meanwhile, Gu Ying rode Little Black behind them to prevent Big Black and Little Black from unintentionally hurting anyone.

Although the soldiers of Chu City had only met MO Ruyue yesterday, they had only seen her in disguise.

MO Ruyue didn’t change her facial features too much. She only used the shadow contrast to make some slight adjustments, but she was able to make the same appearance appear completely different.

“Wait. check! What’s in the car and who’s accompanying it?”

The soldiers guarding the city were the same as yesterday. When they saw MO Ruyue’s carriage approaching, they shouted and walked over.

‘General, these are some of my family’s food and herbs. There’s nothing

special. ”

As MO Ruyue spoke, she casually stuffed a small pouch into his hands.

It was a critical time now, and these things had to be done. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if they were entangled.

The soldier deftly took the pouch under cover and weighed it in his hand. A satisfied smile appeared on his face and his tone of speaking became a little better.

‘Even if you don’t have anything else, you still have to be inspected. This is the rule of entering the city. As long as there’s really no contraband, we’ll let you pass immediately.”

“General is right. You guys can go ahead and check.”

MO Ruyue immediately waved her hand and pushed open the carriage door.

There were some sackcloth bags piled inside, emitting a strong herbal smell.

Deng Feng also took the initiative to open a bag. The smell of medicine was even stronger, causing the soldier to subconsciously take a step back.

“Where did these herbs come from? Theres a shortage of medicine everywhere now. Why do you have so many?

He had thought that MO Ruyue’s “some herbs” was just “a few”, but he did not expect it to be a sack that filled half the carriage.

The smile on his face froze, and his expression turned solemn.

“These are all grown by my family. I’m a doctor from Huichun Hall.”

As MO Ruyue spoke, she took out the commendation order that The Imperial Court had awarded her..
