Leaving from the door of the house, the carriage left Beijing smoothly.

Dong Jiafu opened the curtain and shouted to Cui Qiyan who was riding in front: "Your Majesty——"

Cui Qiyan immediately turned his horse's head when he heard the sound, "What's wrong? Do you want to take a break?"

Dong Jiafu shook his head, "No, I want to say that we are out of the city now, can we hurry up? According to the senior brother, the evidence from the Yamen is solid. I am worried that the master will be convicted, and then it will be even more troublesome."

"Can you hold on?"

"I can."

"Okay, you must tell me when you are really tired. Don't hold on, otherwise it will be more difficult for you to get sick on the road." Cui Qiyan deliberately frightened her.

"I know the severity and will not cause trouble to the prince." Dong Jiafu lowered the curtain and sat back.

"Drive--" Cui Qiyan sped up.

After driving for a whole day, they only stopped twice to rest. It wasn't until it was completely dark that they found an inn to stay.

Cui Qiyan asked for three rooms. When he followed the waiter to the room upstairs, he first escorted Dong Jiafu to the door.

"I'll have someone deliver food and hot water to your room later. You can have a good rest. I'm right next door. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I shouldn't have anything to disturb you. Your Majesty, you can rest peacefully." After Dong Jiafu said that, he and Xia Zhi entered the room.

After eating, Dong Jiafu felt tired and sleepy. After washing, she yawned and walked towards the bed.

Cui Qiyan was also about to blow out the lamp when suddenly a frightened scream came from the next door, "Ah——"

Cui Qiyan immediately rushed out and knocked on Dong Jiafu's door, "What happened?"

No one answered inside.

He knocked again, worried, "Dong Jiafu? If you don't open the door, will I get in?"

After waiting for a while, there was still no response. Cui Qiyan hurriedly opened the door.

When they entered the room, they saw Dong Jiafu and Xia Zhi hugging each other tightly with their heads buried in each other. If you look closely, they were still trembling.

Cui Qiyan's heart tightened and he stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

"Girl..." Xia Zhi pushed Dong Jiafu.

Dong Jiafu raised her head, her black hair was scattered, and her palm-sized face turned pale with fright.

"What happened?" Cui Qiyan's heart was clenched and his voice lowered unconsciously.

Dong Jiafu looked at him, pointing to the bed with her hand, her voice trembling slightly, "There is something on the wall..."

Cui Qiyan immediately went over to check, searched on the wall, and found a sizable gecko.

The gecko was frightened, and without waiting for him to catch it, it swooped into the gap in the roof, leaving its severed tail to fall straight onto the bed.

Dong Jiafu looked at the severed tail that was still swinging back and forth on the sheets, and covered her mouth in shock and disgust.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a gecko, it won't hurt anyone." Cui Qiyan moved to block her view, "You probably don't dare to live in this room anymore, right?"

Dong Jiafu put down her hand, her heartbeat was still very fast, and she nodded honestly, "Can you help me change to another room?"

"it is good."

Cui Qiyan was too anxious to pay attention just now. At this moment, Cui Qiyan realized that she was only wearing a middle coat. In the panic, her neckline was slightly open, and her delicate collarbone was looming.

Dong Jiafu noticed his direct gaze, looked down, and quickly tightened his collar.

Cui Qiyan coughed and looked away, only to see her bare feet on the ground again.

Without thinking much, he bent down and took her shoes to her feet, "The ground is cold..."

Dong Jiafu subconsciously took a step back and her toes couldn't help curling up.

At this time, Xia Zhi brought a coat and put it on Dong Jiafu.

Cui Qiyan had a smile in his eyes, straightened up and said, "I'll go find the guy."

He even closed the door behind him when he left.

The cool air on the ground returned, and Dong Jiafu quickly found a stool to sit down and put on her shoes.

Cui Qiyan found a waiter and waited outside the door for a while before knocking on the door.

Xia Zhi opened the door and Dong Jiafu had already packed up.

The clerk went in and saw the severed tail, and apologized profusely: "I'm really sorry for disturbing our distinguished guests."

"Change her to a clean room." Cui Qiyan said.

"This..." The clerk was embarrassed, "The upper room of the shop is already full, and the remaining rooms are not as good as this one. How about I change the bedding for you?"

"Go ahead."

"Hey, distinguished guest, please wait a moment."

After the waiter left, Cui Qiyan saw Dong Jiafu's lips pursed tightly and suggested, "The bed over there is not moved. How about we change rooms?"

Dong Jiafu wondered if it would be bad to let him sleep in this room, "But here..."

Cui Qiyan guessed what she was going to say, "It doesn't matter. After the guy has finished changing the bedding, I will be the same wherever I am. It's getting late, and I have to continue traveling tomorrow, so hurry up and get there."

"Then I'm welcome."

Xia Zhi packed up their things and followed them to the next door.

Cui Qiyan went in and took a closer look. "It's quite clean here. You can sleep peacefully."

"Thank you." Dong Jiafu responded.

Cui Qiyan walked out of the room, thought of something, stopped, and turned around to remind, "Remember to close the door."

Xia Zhi suddenly realized that he had forgotten to close the door when he was there just now, and hurriedly followed him and closed the door.

After returning, Xia Zhi made a bed for Dong Jiafu, "Girl, I have seen it. There are no scary things here. You can rest assured and sleep."

"You've been tired for a long day, so you should rest early." Dong Jiafu let down her hair and took off her coat.

Xia Zhi waited for her to go to bed, blew out the candles, and slept on the couch next to her.

Early the next morning, Cui Qiyan prepared his carriage and horses outside the inn, waiting for Dong Jiafu to come out.

When she came over, he noticed the faint cyan color in her eyes, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Dong Jiafu nodded, "It doesn't matter, I can relax in the car for a while, and let's continue on our way."

Cui Qiyan said nothing more, mounted his horse and continued moving forward.

But this time, as soon as it got dark, Cui Qiyan found an inn where he could stay.

"Why don't you walk a little longer?" Dong Jiafu asked on the carriage.

"You can have energy only after you have rested. That's it for today. Recharge your batteries. There are still two days ahead."

Dong Jiafu had to get out of the car after hearing this.

After booking the room, Cui Qiyan and the waiter went in and checked before letting Dong Jiafu in.

Before leaving, Cui Qiyan said: "Don't think about that thing all the time, otherwise the more you think about it, the harder it will be to sleep. Relax a little. You're not even afraid of treating people's injuries, but you're still afraid of a little gecko? In fact, it's more afraid. You, it’s just that it can’t scream.”

Dong Jiafu chuckled, "These are two different things."

Seeing her smile, Cui Qiyan felt relieved and pointed to the next door, "I'm leaving."

Not sure whether his words had an effect or whether he was too sleepy, Dong Jiafu slept much more soundly that night.

In the last two days, they sped up and arrived at Yangzhou before the city gate closed. They rested in the city for one night and arrived at Linqing County at dawn.

They went straight to Hui'an Hall, but found that the door of the medical center was sealed.

"We have to find Tan Hao first. Do you know where Dr. Tan's home is?" Cui Qiyan asked.

"I know." Dong Jiafu led the way.
