The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

If Shen Yusang wants to keep her identity secret, she must not go to the capital, otherwise she might be discovered by the original owner's family as soon as she appears in the capital.

He didn't want to face them yet.

Shen Yusang lowered his head and sighed deeply, "Beijing, I can't go."

Hearing this, Lu Shi finally opened his eyes, "Why? Do you have an enemy in the capital?"

Shen Yusang was shocked and felt guilty as if someone had revealed his secret.

Isn’t it true? Aren’t you my enemy right in front of me?

"Haha, that's not true. I just don't like the capital. There are too many important people here. With my personality, I might offend someone accidentally."

Shen Yusang laughed dryly twice, his smile was a bit awkward.

"Then there's no way."

Lu Shi spoke slowly, his voice low and distant, "You must go to the capital. The six-month agreement between you and me has not ended yet. I will return to the capital in a few days."

"What?!" Shen Yusang was shocked and frightened, and couldn't help but raise his voice.

"I want to go to the capital too!"

"Lu Shi, have you ever thought about how I'm going to hide the fact that I'm not Dr. Bai when I go to the capital?!"

"How are you going to explain it to those people if they ask me to treat their illness?!"

Shen Yusang was extremely anxious and spoke at an astonishing speed, like a string of cannons.

Because he was too excited, he didn't even care about etiquette and called Lu Shi's name directly and rudely.

He was extremely panicked.

What he just said was not what he was worried about. What he was really worried about was how to hide it from the original owner's family.

The original owner was a very typical man in a country where women were superior. He was well-versed in "Men's Classics" and "Men's Commandments", and was gentle, generous, virtuous and kind. However, all these did not suit him.

This is another reason why he did not plan to go home after the matter of escaping marriage was settled.

Because he knew that he could not impersonate the original owner and would sooner or later arouse suspicion from the original owner's family.

What's more, there is another crucial factor in the way - the original owner knew nothing about medicine, but here he is, presenting himself as the famous Doctor Bai!

This one thing alone will be exposed!

At this moment, he looked extremely nervous, his eyes fixed on Lu Shi, wanting to hear a reasonable solution from her.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shi's expression remained calm, almost without any ripples. "Don't worry about that. Bai Zesheng is secretly assisting you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yusang could no longer suppress his doubts and blurted out, "If that's the case, why don't you just go find Divine Doctor Bai himself? That way, you wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of planning this impersonation."

At this point, Lu Shi fell silent.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to, it’s just that Bai Zesheng’s identity... isn’t quite suitable.

She could only utter slowly: "Don't worry about this."

"I will do whatever the king wants."

Lu Shi closed his eyes again, not intending to pay any attention to Shen Yusang.

"You stay in the room and wake me up in half an hour."

For a moment, the entire space fell into a dead silence. Shen Yusang was stunned for a moment before dragging his heavy feet and slowly moving towards the seat next to him.

Shen Yu sat down on the chair with a gloomy look on his face.

He doesn't have to worry about the problems he mentioned, but the problems hidden in his heart have not been solved at all.

Thinking that he would have to return to Beijing in a few days, his heart was in turmoil.

His identity will definitely be exposed after he returns to Beijing.

In this way, he had to surrender himself to Lu Shi before his identity was exposed, which meant that he would be treated leniently if he confessed.

But he was not yet prepared to face Lu Shi's anger.

The scene of her torturing and killing the bandit leader that day was still vivid in his mind. He couldn't help but feel his stomach churning and goose bumps all over his body as soon as he thought about it.

Don't dare to think, don't dare to think...

"Ugh……"

Shen Yusang let out a long sigh.

For half an hour, his frown never relaxed.

Half an hour later, he woke up Lu Shi and hurriedly left the room.

"Brother, what are you and the prince doing in the room?"

Not far from Lu Shi's door, Qiao Qing seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Shen Yusang coming out with unsteady steps, a trace of gloom flashed across his face.

"In broad daylight, my brother stayed in the prince's room for such a long time. I'm afraid it will affect his reputation as a man."

Then he seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and covered his mouth in surprise, his eyes full of regret. He said pitifully, "Don't blame me, brother. Xiaoqing is just worried about me. There is absolutely no other intention."

Unfortunately, Shen Yusang was preoccupied with something at the moment, and he didn't hear a word of what Qiao Qing said.

He just said something hurriedly, then walked straight towards his room without looking back.

"Excuse me!"

Looking at Shen Yusang's leaving back, the innocent expression on Qiao Qing's face slowly faded, replaced by a hint of viciousness.

Shen Yusang was completely unaware of this. After returning to the room, he called An Qi.

He took a deep breath, gathered himself, and asked, "An Qi, how long have you been following the prince?"

"ten years."

"So long! That's amazing! So, do you know what the prince likes most?"

However, An Qi responded firmly: "You must not disclose any information about the prince."

"Hey, I'm not a bad person. Look, I spent half an hour alone with the prince at noon today!"

"Sorry, you can't reveal any information about the prince."

"Row!"

Faced with the stubborn An Qi, Shen Yusang felt helpless, but did not give up. Instead, he continued to ask in a different way.

"Then An Qi, tell me about the prince, the kind that everyone knows about. That way, it won't count as a leak, right?"

An Qi thought for a while and finally nodded slowly.

Shen Yusang took out a piece of white paper and a pen, "When is the prince's birthday?"

"March 4th."

Ah, it’s passed.

Shen Yusang shook his head regretfully, "What is the prince good at?"

"He is proficient in both civil and military tactics."

"so smart!"

Shen Yusang quickly picked up a pen and wrote down the information he had just heard. Then he raised his head, looked at the person in front of him eagerly, and asked again, "Where does the prince like to go most?"

An Qi uttered four words expressionlessly: "No comment."

"..." Shen Yusang had to admit that An Qi was really sharp. He envied Lu Shi for having such a group of subordinates.

"Then I won't ask anymore. Just tell me what I can know."

An Qi nodded and continued, "The prince was given the title of Prince An, the third of the three princesses. From a young age, the prince displayed extraordinary talent and ability, attracting widespread attention. For a time, there was even a rumor among the people that the prince might become a princess."

"Five years ago, the prince broke his leg while riding a horse. The imperial physician diagnosed the prince's legs and said they were irreparable and he would never be able to stand up again."

"The prince had not left the palace for nearly four years. It was only six months ago that he slowly walked out of the palace."

After waiting for a long time without hearing any further news, Shen Yusang looked up and asked, "That's all?"

"Yeah." An Qi nodded seriously.

"Didn't I hear that the prince is planning another marriage? Tell me about it. It's not like I can't talk about it."

So An Qi continued speaking.

"Half a year ago, after the prince gradually left the palace, the empress arranged a marriage for him. The man was Shen Yusang, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo."

"Their wedding was scheduled for the 25th, but the son of the Duke of Zhenguo ran away on the day. The Empress, understanding the Duke of Zhenguo's hard work and contributions to the country and the people, did not pursue the matter and canceled the marriage."

Shen Yusang stopped writing after hearing this, and a complicated look appeared on his face.

What An Qi said was similar to what he heard along the way, but things were definitely not as easy as An Qi said.

He knew very well that he had actually disobeyed the imperial decree by escaping from his marriage. The empress might not do anything to their family, but she would definitely not let them go so easily. The original owner's mother must have paid the price.

The exact price is unclear, he may have to go home and ask.

But he had another question.

"Was your prince particularly good at riding and shooting?"

"Yes, he is the best in the capital, and no one can defeat him."

"What about horse racing?"

“Yes.”

"Then how did she fall off the horse?"

"..."

Having said this, both of them fell silent.
