At this time, Xing Yao rushed out from the lobby of the inn and said anxiously: "Miss, Sir, please help me save Shopkeeper Xiao."

"What's going on?" Jiang Yimo asked.

"I just found the real Shopkeeper Xiao. He, he was knocked unconscious in the guest room, but I couldn't wake him up no matter how hard I called." Xing Yao said.

Jiang Yimo let out a long sigh and said, "Come on, I'll go in with you and take a look."

Jiang Yimo followed Xingyao back to the inn lobby and saw two burly men guarding the shopkeeper Xiao. The two men looked like the chefs in the inn's kitchen.

Jiang Yimo walked over, squatted down, reached out and flipped over Manager Xiao's eyelids, then took out a silver needle from her small bag and slowly pricked his Ren Zhong acupoint. Not long after, Manager Xiao slowly woke up.

Two days later, Concubine Xian and Feng Wuhen were going back to the imperial city.

Before leaving, they said goodbye at the gate of Haicheng City, and Empress Xian held Jiang Yimo's hand reluctantly.

"Momo, you have no relatives or friends in Haicheng anymore, so why don't you come with us to the Imperial City?"

Empress Xian persuaded her again.

"No, Madam, I still want to go out and try my luck."

Jiang Yimo rejected Concubine Xian again.

"Ugh……"

Empress Xian sighed deeply, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Empress Xian got on the carriage.

At this time, Feng Wuhen also came over.

"Momo, it's not safe for you two little girls to go out on the road. How about I arrange two guards for you?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. We can protect ourselves. If you let two grown men follow us two girls, it will be very inconvenient for us to go out, and we will be restricted."

Seeing that Jiang Yimo refused, Feng Wuhen no longer mentioned arranging guards for her. Because he had a certain understanding of Jiang Yimo's abilities, he took off a mutton-fat jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Jiang Yimo.

"Momo, as long as you don't leave Donglin Kingdom, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can take my personal jade pendant and go to local government offices to seek help."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yimo also refused the jade pendant he gave her.

"Your Majesty, I don't need this. When we go out, we won't take the initiative to cause trouble, but we will never be afraid of trouble. If there is any problem, I will handle it well."

When Feng Wuhen saw Jiang Yimo reject him again, his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly and he looked at Wen Jin steadily, his eyes as dark as thick ink.

But later, he nodded to her and finally said only one sentence to her: "You two girls must be careful on the road. If you have any problems that you can't solve, you can send a pigeon to the king, and the king will send someone to help you as soon as possible."

After saying that, Feng Wuhen also got into Concubine Xian's carriage. The carriage slowly left the gate of Haicheng. Concubine Xian even opened the window of the carriage and waved to Jiang Yimo continuously.

After Concubine Xian and Feng Wuhen's carriages left, Jiang Yimo also pulled Qingzhu onto their carriages.

"Miss, where are we going?"

Qingzhu asked curiously.

Because this was the first time that she and Jiang Yimo left Haicheng, the place where they had lived for more than ten years, she suddenly felt a little confused.

"Let's go to Baihua City, which is close to Haicheng. It's probably only two days' journey away." Jiang Yimo replied.

"Hundred Flowers City? I have heard of this place. It is said that it is the place with the most flowers in Donglin Country. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants can be found there."

"It should be a nice place. Your young lady has never been there either. Let's go and take a look together and we'll know."

Hearing this, Qingzhu smiled and nodded slightly, "Okay! Then let's go to Wandering Tianya together!"

Two days later at noon, Jiang Yimo and Qingzhu arrived at Baihua City in a carriage.

After getting off the carriage, the two walked on the street wearing simple and elegant loose gauze dresses, but they chose to walk on the shady road.

The summer temperature in Baihua City is even hotter than that in Haicheng.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the hot weather made dragonflies dare not fly close to the shade of trees, as if they were afraid that the strong sunlight would hurt their wings. The soil on the ground was also baked hot, and a few black big-bellied crickets were jumping around in the sun.

The various flowers on both sides of the street were wilted by the sun, just like listless children who were tired from playing.

Fortunately, there is a cool breeze blowing gently occasionally, which is refreshing and my mood won’t become so irritable.

"Miss, the weather is really too hot, and there are not many people walking on the street. Let's find a place to sit down and hide from the sun first?"

"Okay, I see a restaurant just up ahead, let's go there and have some food."

Jiang Yimo raised her eyes and pointed to the restaurant not far away. Then, she took Qingzhu's hand and walked towards the restaurant.

The weather today is really hot, but strangely, the restaurant is full of people eating, and most of them are young people.

When Jiang Yimo and Qingzhu entered the restaurant, the entire living room was full of people eating.

When the restaurant owner saw that they were women, he arranged for them to sit elegantly on the second floor.

"Miss, the weather is so hot today, there are quite a lot of people coming to the restaurant to eat."

After the two sat down, Qingzhu muttered something in a low voice.

"Then have you noticed that this restaurant is much cooler than outside?"

"Yes, I have already noticed that when I was walking outside with you just now, even under the shade of a tree, I was sweating profusely. But when I walked into this restaurant, I felt very cool and comfortable. Miss, do you know what caused this?"

"Because this restaurant has a potted bamboo every few meters. Bamboo has a strong air purifying effect, exhales oxygen, and can also make people feel cool."

After hearing this, Qingzhu turned around and took a look at the green plants in the corner of their private room, still a little bit unbelieving.

"Miss, this peach forest bamboo looks like a taro stalk, and the edges of its leaves are covered with a circle of fine thorns. Is it really that useful?"

"Don't believe it? You can touch it with your hand, but make sure your hand is not scratched by its thorns. Its thorns are poisonous. If you are pricked by it, your hand will immediately become numb."

Jiang Yimo specifically reminded her.

After hearing this, Qingzhu walked up to one of the peach bamboos in their private room and carefully reached out to touch the large leaves of the peach bamboo.

She discovered that the leaves of the peach forest bamboo were indeed as cold as those of her young lady.

But at this moment, the waiter in the restaurant suddenly lifted the door curtain and walked in.

Qingzhu was so scared that he suddenly withdrew his little hand, and accidentally cut his finger on the thorns on the edge of the peach forest bamboo leaves.

Qingzhu's fingers were so numb that she couldn't move for a moment.

"Miss, wuwuwu, it's so numb!"

Qingzhu pouted, looking aggrieved, and Jiang Yimo almost burst out laughing.

"Hahaha~"

"You didn't believe me when I told you, but now you've experienced it."

The waiter who had just walked into their private room also laughed when he saw this scene.
