Xu Junjun estimated that the poisoned man would not wake up until tomorrow.

But on this day, after she had taken a nap and had just finished her dinner, Weidong sent someone to call her, saying that their master had woken up.

Xu Junjun was quite surprised. She stood up and walked away without thinking. Halfway through, she stopped, turned back to the bed and put on her veil, then went to call her husband to go to another guest room.

Although this inn is not located in a busy city, each guest room is elegantly decorated.

In the guest room, screens, potted plants, and wintersweets in jade bottles are placed in a staggered manner, giving people a sense of tranquility as soon as they step in.

When Xu Junjun stepped into the guest room, the man was leaning against the bedpost drinking medicine.

Hearing the footsteps, the man's eyes moved, and his amber eyes fixed on Xu Junjun's face as she walked into the room.

Looking at the veil covering her face, the man frowned, and his expression became more complicated as he recalled the beautiful face he had seen in the cave.

"Master, this is Miss Xu."

Weidong took the empty medicine bowl and began to introduce it.

The man hummed and nodded:

"Ben, I have some impression."

“This time, thanks to Miss Xu’s miraculous healing skills, the master is safe.

Earlier, we were too reckless and injured Miss Xu. Fortunately, Miss Xu was magnanimous and did not confront us."

Wei Dong's face was full of relief and a smile on his face made the man stare at him in surprise for several times.

His subordinates actually admired the woman in front of them so much?

It seems that this woman is really capable.

Suppressing his thoughts, the man looked up at Xu Junjun:

"Thank you for saving me, young lady. This is five thousand taels for the consultation fee. I hope you will accept it."

As soon as the man finished speaking, Weidong handed him another five thousand taels of silver.

Xu Junjun frowned in confusion and looked at the man's weak eyes:

"Before you woke up, your subordinates gave me three days' worth of medical fees. I don't need this money anymore."

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

This man gave her such a large sum of money as soon as he woke up. He wouldn't want to kill her as soon as she left the inn.

Pursing her lips and looking at the mysterious man in front of her, Xu Junjun suddenly regretted taking advantage of the three thousand taels. She should have sneaked away yesterday.

The man seemed to see through Xu Junjun's uneasiness:

"Don't worry, young lady. This amount of silver does not conflict with the previous three thousand taels.

I hope that after you accept the three thousand taels, you will keep our whereabouts secret."

Confidential?

Xu Junjun looked at the man suspiciously, wondering about his identity.

But she recalled all the high-ranking officials' families she knew, but didn't find any useful information.

Xu Junjun has never been someone who likes to force herself, so if she can't think of a solution, she might as well give up.

Nodding, Xu Junjun accepted the banknote without any psychological burden. Her eyes moved around the man's wrist, and she felt relieved.

"Don't worry, I'm a tight-lipped person and won't reveal your whereabouts."

Taking a few steps forward and stopping in front of the man, Xu Junjun said to Wei Dong:

"Please let me take his pulse for the last time."

Weidong hurriedly took two steps to the side to make room. Xu Junjun did not hesitate and sat down on the bedside. She pulled the man's wrist and covered it with three fingers.

Compared to yesterday, the man's pulse was much stronger, but...

Knowing what was going on, Xu Junjun stood up and smiled:

"Your body is recovering faster than I expected. As long as you continue to take the medicine according to my prescription, you will be fully recovered in a few days.

Since you are fine now, I will take my leave today.

I will also return the remaining two thousand taels of consultation fee in full."

The man in front of her was too dangerous. He gave Xu Junjun the same feeling as that bastard Niaoniao.

The best thing to do now is to leave as soon as possible.

Xu Junjun's words seemed to be within the man's expectations. He looked into her pupils, which were so dark that it was hard to tell what he was really thinking.

"Let's just say goodbye."

Xu Junjun pretended to be calm and nodded, then looked at Wei Dong and took out two thousand taels of silver notes:

"The money and goods are cleared, but the road ahead is long. I hope we never see each other again."

After giving the banknote, Xu Junjun straightened his back, turned around and walked away step by step.

But for some reason, even though it was only a few steps from the bed to the door, she always felt like there was a knife behind her.

After leaving the room, Xu Junjun's steps became obviously much more hurried.

Xu Junjun hurried back to the room and jumped three feet high like a rabbit burned by fire, packing her things in a hurry.

After packing up, I grabbed my bag and rushed downstairs like a whirlwind, away from this place of trouble.

Weidong stood at the window with his master, looking at Xu Junjun's back as she ran away with her bundle, and said in a cryptic way:

"Miss Xu, you're quite special..."

"Send someone to follow them, find a secluded place, and deal with them directly."

The man had an indifferent expression on his face. After giving his orders in a cold voice, he turned and walked away from the window.

Wei Dong was stunned, then knelt down and begged:

"Master, Miss Xu is a skilled doctor and a kind person. She is not a villain. Can you please let her go..."

The man stared at him coldly, his eyes gleaming dangerously:

"If she were caught by that group, would she be able to withstand the torture and not reveal our whereabouts?

Since you care so much about her, why not become her attendant?"

Wei Dong was shocked and looked up abruptly to apologize:

"I dare not!

I'll send someone over right away."

The man didn't say anything. Weidong, sweating profusely, quickly stood up and prepared to go out to make arrangements.

When they reached the door, the man suddenly gave the order:

“You take people there yourself.

After processing, find a random place to bury it."

Wei Dong paused, then quickly said:

"Subordinates take orders."

Xu Junjun came out of the inn, turning left and right along the way, trying to get to crowded places.

Occasionally she looked back and saw no one chasing her, but she didn't dare to stop. She covered the banknotes on her chest and kept running forward.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the streets were becoming increasingly deserted. Xu Junjun held her pounding heart and gritted her teeth, preparing to find the largest inn to stay in.

She just didn't believe that these people dared to commit crimes in a busy city.

The man and his men hid all the way to Beijing. Even though he was poisoned, he didn't dare to seek medical treatment normally and ran to the mountains to avoid disaster. There must be someone chasing him.

As long as she is exposed to the public, even if a man wants to make a move on her, he will have to be cautious.

Xu Junjun did it right away. She lowered her head and quickly turned into an alley. Just as she was about to go to the prosperous inn opposite, several dark shadows suddenly flashed out of the darkness and trapped her in the middle.

Xu Junjun's heart sank. He held the medicinal powder he had hurriedly refined during the day in his palm, looked at the leading dark figure, and gritted his teeth and said:

"Weidong, what do you mean?

Didn't I already promise to keep my mouth shut? Why are you still chasing me?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Xu, I can't let the master be in any danger of being exposed.

Go with peace of mind. I will take your body back to the Huo Mansion for a safe burial."

In the darkness, Wei Dong's expression could not be discerned, but from his cold words, Xu Junjun knew that it would be difficult to leave tonight.
