Xu Fu saw that Su Muqing made no demands as a savior. Instead, her attitude was so amiable. His impression of her became exceptionally good. "Yes, then this old servant will be presumptuous and call you Miss Qing. How about that?"
Su Muqing: Miss? Miss Qing? Did she not mean for them not to call her Miss just now? Why did he interpret it as adding another character before "Miss" would make it acceptable?
((유∀유|||)) Is this what they call a generation gap? But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's not just a generation gap between them; there's also a cultural difference spanning thousands of years!
"Heh, whatever! Whatever! Just call me whatever you want!" What else could Su Muqing say?
Scurrying away...
No matter what she said, it was like talking to a brick wall. It's better to say nothing at all. Hurry back! She couldn't let her eldest aunt know about today's events for now. Otherwise, her eldest aunt would nag her about meddling again.
Moreover, what if they asked her where she got the miraculous medicine to save people? She didn't even know how to answer! That's right, this matter must be kept secret!
When Su Muqing returned to her resting spot, Madam Zhou asked Huo Qiyuan if he wanted to eat something else. She was about to prepare lunch and could make a bit more for him.
Huo Qiyuan shook his head. Eating now was like being subjected to torture. His throat had only just started to feel comfortable. He still had many things to convey. If he ate hot porridge again, he probably wouldn't be able to speak for a while. What if he fainted again?
Now, with Miss Qing's medicine, his young master wouldn't have to eat those scalding and harmful things anymore.
Seeing that he had clearly improved a lot, Xu Fu waved his hand, signaling Madam Zhou to go prepare food. Then, he also asked the hidden guards and Doctor Yang to go to another room to rest!
They had rushed all night yesterday and guarded their young master for most of the morning. If Miss Qing and the others were to travel tonight, they would have to follow. Therefore, they couldn't afford not to rest!
Especially Doctor Yang, who was around the same age as Xu Fu. Being older, long journeys and prolonged sitting were already difficult for his body. He had also been troubled by them just now. He felt as if his old bones were brittle! He could hear them creaking and groaning! wΑp.kanshu伍.net
At this moment, only the master and servant remained in the room.
"I feel much better, all thanks to the young lady." Huo Qiyuan licked his lips, still tasting the chocolate. He couldn't help but mention Su Muqing again.
"Don't worry, Uncle Fu. This old servant will definitely thank her properly." Although the Huo family had declined, they still had decades of foundation. The Prince had fought his whole life and received countless rewards. In other words, the current Huo family, despite losing its immense power, still possessed substantial wealth!
"Uncle Fu, my parents' remains... cough cough..." Huo Qiyuan's biggest worry now was that his parents' remains were being held in the capital. Every time he thought about it, he couldn't find peace within himself! He felt like a failure as a son!
Xu Fu stepped forward to comfort him, patting his chest. "Young Master, you mustn't dwell on these things too much now. You need to get better quickly and then plan for these matters. Even if you find them after avenging your enemies... I believe the spirits of the Prince and Princess in heaven would not blame you."
Huo Qiyuan listened to Xu Fu's words, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Are there any traitors in our army?" kanδん
Before they moved south, they had been hiding in the capital. When Huo Qiyuan was conscious, he was always thinking of ways to retrieve his parents' remains.
He had planned several times, and they were almost successful. But each time, at the last moment, they were intercepted by soldiers, causing them to lose many men and nearly alerting the dog emperor.
Later, if his poisoning hadn't worsened, and Master Zhikong hadn't happened to deduce that the rescuer had appeared, insisting he go south immediately, they would probably still be in the capital, struggling for their parents' remains!
Xu Fu furrowed his brows in thought. If he had to say there were traitors among them, he was unwilling to believe it. After all, those who discussed matters and were assigned tasks were all old guards who knew the Huo family inside out. They would never betray their master. kΑnshu伍.ξà
Moreover, after failing twice, the Young Master had instructed everyone not to notify each other separately. Everyone would only be gathered and uniformly notified before an operation. No one was allowed to leave the team mid-way. This way, even if there were traitors, they couldn't inform the enemy of their whereabouts and plans.
Yet, all their plans had failed without exception! Thinking about it now, it was truly too strange. It was as if their every move was perfectly understood by the mastermind behind the scenes.
And that unseen black hand was stirring up trouble in the shadows, playing with them like mice.
