Gu Jiao now lived in the National Master Hall, and her first reaction was naturally to bring her family to her side.
However, she changed her mind and felt it was inappropriate.
She was staying in the National Master Hall by the emperor’s decree to treat the Princess. It was barely acceptable to take in two "patients" who came because of her reputation. But to bring the "fellow villagers" who came with her to Yan Country to stay together would look odd.
It might arouse the suspicion of the Emperor of Dayan.
"I need to think about this carefully tonight," Gu Jiao thought to herself.
They settled in at the inn.
Gu Jiao took out iodine and wound medicine from her first aid kit and carefully cleaned the wounds of Master Nan and Master Lu.
Both had mostly external injuries, but Master Lu was slightly more injured than Master Nan as he had been protecting her.
"I told you not to rush over!" Master Nan glared at him.
Master Lu chuckled, "My skin is thick, I can take a beating!"
—Practice from fighting with the horse king.
After Gu Jiao finished treating all of Master Lu’s injuries, she reminded him, "Don’t let the wounds get wet, they will heal in a few days."
"Are you hurt?" Master Nan asked.
"I am not injured," Gu Jiao replied.
Master Nan let out a long sigh of relief, glad that the children were fine.
The two adults didn’t matter as much.
Master Lu asked, "By the way, Jiaojiao, why did you leave the city in the middle of the night?"
Gu Jiao took out the token hanging from her waist, "I have this."
Oh my, even the token of the National Master Hall was in her hands; this girl was doing quite well in the inner city.
Too many things had happened recently, and the limited space on the notes meant she hadn’t had the chance to explain everything to Master Nan and Master Lu.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Jiao recounted the recent events to Master Nan and Master Lu. Coincidentally, Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan had also finished changing clothes and came over to listen to Gu Jiao’s series of explosive news.
Everyone had different points of focus.
But their points of surprise were the same.
Jiaojiao had taken Hei Fengqi from the Han Family?
Gu Changqing was injured?
The Empress Dowager and the old grand scholar had come to Yan Country?
Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan shared a room, Gu Jiao had her own room, and Mr. Meng also had a separate room.
Gu Jiao had just laid down when Gu Yan came over.
He climbed onto the bed and lay down beside Gu Jiao.
He didn’t say a word, just hugged Gu Jiao’s waist and gently rested his chin on her shoulder, breathing in the scent that gave him peace of mind.
Gu Jiao lay flat on the bed, quietly staring in the direction of the canopy.
He pleaded softly, "Don’t be mad at me, okay? I won’t do it again."
"Hmm." Gu Jiao lifted her hand, one arm under her head and the other holding his hand.
There were too many emotions in this world that I couldn’t perceive. Only through you could I pass through the black and white zone.
"I’m very nervous right now, can you feel it?" Gu Yan asked.
"Yes, I can feel it. Your pulse is racing."
Gu Yan’s face darkened.
Who asked you to check my pulse?
"And excitement, happiness, pride..." Gu Jiao felt it all.
