Soon after taking the medicine, most of the blue color on Chu Yuncang's face faded away. After another half incense stick of time, he slowly woke up, staring at the unfamiliar bed curtains with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Woo woo~" Liuguang cried with joy. He held Chu Yuncang's hand and choked with sobs, "Master, you finally woke up. That's great!"

Chu Yuncang turned his head and saw that his most capable subordinate, the usually stern and majestic Lord Liuguang, had red eyes and messy hair. He was like a wronged young wife, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes in a panic, and even accidentally had a snot bubble popping up!

Chu Yuncang couldn't bear to look at it, frowning in disdain. He wondered why, after coming to Jiazhou, the people around him were no longer the same as he remembered them. Xie Tingyu was like this, Liuguang was like this, Liuying was like this...

Thinking of Liuying, Chu Yuncang's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked in a cold voice: "Where is Liuying now?"

Liuguang had just controlled his tears when he heard Liuying's name, and his nose felt sore again. He whispered, "Liuying went out tonight. When he came back, he gathered the people from the inn and killed them in the backyard. Later, he went into your room to light incense, and when he came out, he disappeared..."

He paused, his voice a little low: "I don't believe that Liuying would betray the master, but the facts are before us..."

Chu Yuncang closed his eyes and was silent for a while. He suddenly opened his eyes and said firmly: "Liuying has never betrayed me. The person tonight was not Liuying!"

Liuguang's eyes widened in shock, and he said excitedly, "Master, are you telling the truth? When Liuying asked me to examine the incense tonight, I saw it clearly. His appearance and voice were exactly the same as Liuying's. If he was an imposter, why didn't he show any panic? He even dared to look me in the eye..."

He suddenly stopped talking, thought for a moment, and exclaimed, "When Liuying stood in front of me, I felt a little awkward, but I didn't know why. Now I know. Liuying is slightly shorter than me. Normally, I have to look slightly downward to meet his gaze, but today, I was looking at him straight. That imposter is taller than the real Liuying!"

Chu Yuncang nodded slightly and said slowly, "When he entered the room, I was looking through the memorials and didn't look at him. But when I noticed something was wrong with my body, I recalled the man's footsteps: the left foot was heavy and the right foot was light, completely different from your footsteps. I knew there must be something wrong with the incense."

Liuguang pulled out the incense from his bosom and asked doubtfully, "Master, if this incense is poisonous, I smelled it outside the door, so why am I fine? I also tested it with a silver needle and confirmed it's not poisonous."

Chu Yuncang shook his head slightly. He couldn't guess how the other party had poisoned him. He moved his limbs and felt that his body was completely different from before the poisoning. He asked in confusion, "How did you cure my poison?"

Liuguang immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Master, you are unconscious, and I took the initiative to give you that elixir. Please punish me, Master!"

Chu Yuncang understood a little after hearing this. He had never expected that the pill left by his mother was the one that saved his life. Could it be a divine will? When his mother gave him the pill, she had told him that this medicine could save his life and he must always carry it with him!

He didn't take it seriously at first, but just used the pill as a way to express his longing for his mother. Until the last time he was poisoned by the muscle softening powder, he was afraid of the feeling of being at the mercy of others, so he started to carry this pill with him.

Chu Yuncang waved his hand and said, "In an emergency, we must act swiftly. You handled this matter properly. Hurry up and get up!" He looked around, feeling a little unfamiliar, and asked, "Where is this?"

Liuguang hurriedly bowed and said, "The inn was surrounded by black-clad assassins like Jiazhou. The brothers fought with all their might to carve out a bloody path, and only then was I able to escape with my master."

He was a little embarrassed. "This is the Marquis's villa. I had nowhere to hide, so I brought my master here. The villa is uninhabited, so it's okay for us to borrow it for the night. I was in a hurry and just picked this room at random."

Chu Yuncang nodded slightly and said, "Let's leave it like this for tonight. I believe Brother Tingyu won't mind."

Chu Yuncang frowned slightly, not knowing what was happening outside. Those black-clad assassins kept appearing one after another, like a swarm of carp swimming across the river. Could they really be a small underworld organization? Why did they keep trying to kill him?

Thinking of this, Chu Yuncang solemnly instructed Liuguang, "I'm fine now. You don't need to guard me anymore. Go out and find out what the situation is. If the situation is unfavorable, contact all the shadow guards and make sure to kill all those assassins."

Liuguang took the order and left.

……

After turning off all the lights, Chu Yuncang lay on the couch with his clothes on, but he had no desire to sleep. Thinking about Liuying in his mind, he couldn't help but sigh slightly. The real Liuying must have been killed!

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door. Chu Yuncang had no time to escape, so he could only jump onto the beam and hide himself in the darkness.

The door was pushed open, and several maids carrying exquisite lanterns came in one after another. They lit the lights, and the room was instantly illuminated, revealing the furnishings inside.

One of the maids walked around the room, covered her nose with a hint of disgust, and then directed the other maids to clean the room. In just a cup of tea, the room was completely new.

A woman was led in by a little maid. The woman was dressed in light-colored clothes, and was tall and slender with a graceful posture. Her black hair was like clouds. Her clothes fluttered in the wind as she walked, and she had a light and ethereal air.

The woman sat down gently on the chair and softly instructed the maids, "It's late, everyone go to bed! Chunya will stay and keep watch!"

The maids all bowed and filed out, leaving only one little maid standing behind the woman.

After everyone had gone far away, the little maidservant immediately slumped her shoulders and said, "Finally, you don't have to be so polite anymore, Miss. Learning all these rules is so tiring!"

The woman raised her head, revealing a graceful and charming little face and a pair of bright eyes like gemstones. Under the light, she looked like a fairy from the ninth heaven.

It was the woman from that night!

Although the clothes and movements are different, this face has been deeply engraved in Chu Yuncang's mind, and he will never make a mistake!

Chu Yuncang was so frightened that he almost fell off the beam. His heart couldn't help but pounding, and a surge of joy like a tide rose in his heart. He pinched his arm hard, it hurt. This was not a dream!

On the day he left Jiazhou and headed back to Beijing, he had already decided to give up.

He thought that even if the woman really existed, he and the woman were like fish in the water and birds in the sky, belonging to two completely unrelated worlds, and the chance encounter that night was just a beautiful mistake!

Now, they can meet here at this time, it must be fate destined by God!

Chu Yuncang's heartbeat was a little disordered and his breathing was a little heavy. He tried his best to control himself and tried to hide in the darkness, thinking about how to show up without appearing embarrassed.

The woman didn't notice there were other people in the room. She smiled at the little maid and teased, "Are you tired already? When we get to Shengjing City, there will be more rules. What will we do then?"

The little maid shook her head vigorously: "I was just saying it casually. As long as I can be with the young lady, it doesn't matter if there are more rules!"

The woman tugged at the maid's sleeve, gently pointed outside the door, and whispered, "Go get some good sleep. The one hiding outside can't wait any longer. I want to meet her tonight!"

The woman suddenly raised her voice and said, "Chun Ya, Nanny Yan's leg disease needs more attention. You should go and see her!"

Chunya rubbed her hands excitedly and replied loudly: "Yes, Miss, I'll take my leave!" After that, she walked out of the room with heavy footsteps.

After Chunya walked away, a maid sneaked her head out from the door...
