The bitter medicine flowed into his throat. Xu Junjun coughed twice in discomfort, opened his eyes and pushed the spoon in front of him away.

Jun Xiaochen, who was holding her waist, saw her open her eyes, put the spoon into the soup bowl, and turned back to check the temperature of her forehead.

Seeing the temperature drop slightly, Jun Xiaochen's gloomy face looked a little better.

"What kind of medicine is so bitter?

Didn’t you give me some licorice?”

After coughing twice and sitting up, Xu Junjun's headache was gone.

Staring at the medicine bowl beside Jun Xiaochen, Xu Junjun moved it away after resisting, obviously not wanting to drink anymore.

Jun Xiaochen saw through her little tricks and didn't let her do whatever she wanted. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. He held the spoon in his big hand again and poured the medicine into it and fed it to her lips.

"Good medicine tastes bitter. Drink it quickly and recover sooner. Aren't you eager to return to the imperial capital to get the antidote as soon as possible?"

Jun Xiaochen spoke in a calm tone, but his words hit Xu Junjun's sore spot precisely.

Outside the post station, the sound of rain is crisp.

Xu Junjun stared at the medicine bowl hesitantly, then gritted her teeth.

"Give me the medicine and I'll drink it myself."

Being half-held and fed mouthful by mouthful by Jun Xiaochen like this was too weird a scene. Xu Junjun broke free from his arms, straightened her waist, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it in one gulp.

The medicine was at the right temperature. Xu Junjun tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. His face and nose wrinkled as he threw the bowl of medicine to Jun Xiaochen.

"so bitter."

This person, who had never complained even in such a dangerous situation in Jiangcheng, now acted like a little girl after just drinking a bowl of medicine, which really made Jun Xiaochen look sideways.

Fortunately, Jun Xiaochen had the postmaster deliver a portion of candied fruit just now, which was just right for Xu Junjun to wash away the bitterness.

Looking at the plump candied fruit that the man handed to his lips, Xu Junjun hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and put the candied fruit into her mouth.

The tip of her teeth bit the candied fruit, and her warm tongue accidentally scraped across the man's rough fingertips. Before Xu Junjun could do anything, Jun Xiaochen suddenly adjusted his sitting position and sat with his back to Xu Junjun.

Seeing his strange movements, Xu Junjun looked into the dark night with the clear sound of rain and started to chase him away:

"Thank you for your care just now. I'm much better now. You can go back to your room and rest."

Xu Junjun's habit of throwing things away after using them almost made Jun Xiaochen laugh.

But seeing that her eyes and eyebrows were rosy and she looked much more energetic, Jun Xiaochen didn't say anything and stood up immediately:

“What do you want to eat?

This king asked them to prepare."

Jun Xiaochen's attentiveness made Xu Junjun quite uneasy. Biting the sweet candied fruit in her mouth, Xu Junjun said casually:

“Anything spicy is fine.”

Jun Xiaochen looked at her, said nothing, and turned to walk out of the room.

As soon as Jun Xiaochen left, Xu Junjun immediately rushed to the bedside and picked up a few more candied fruits and stuffed them into her mouth.

The bitter taste of the medicine gradually dissipated in her mouth. Only then did Xu Junjun throw off the quilt, get out of bed, put on her shoes and socks, and walk to the bed to watch the rain.

Through the half-open window, Xu Junjun glanced at the inn shrouded in rain. Listening to the sound of the raindrops, her heart calmed down a little.

With a sigh, Xu Junjun felt the unhappiness of being delayed for two days for no reason slowly dissipate.

Holding the plate of candied fruit, Xu Junjun leaned against the window and enjoyed the cool breeze. He felt his neck was a little cold, so he shrank back and was about to turn around and go back to bed when he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the dark.

Xu Junjun almost threw the plate of candied fruit away. She immediately rubbed her eyes and looked down carefully.

But the familiar shadow just now disappeared in the corridor of the post station in the blink of an eye and never appeared again.

In the next room, Jun Xiaochen changed out of his rain-soaked robe, showered, and dressed. Then he sat at the table, reading letters and listening to Wei Dong's report.

"Master, you are right.

I asked my personal guards to investigate, and found that the people downstairs were indeed the Great Sage Qilin Guards.

One of them is Chen Liu, who usually contacts Miss Xu."

Jun Xiaochen nodded:

"Have someone keep an eye on them. As long as they behave themselves, leave them alone."

Weidong hesitated:

"If they secretly contact Miss Xu, should we stop them?"

Jun Xiaochen paused as he flipped through the letter, then said:

"No need to stop me."

Wei Dong nodded in agreement, looking at his master, thinking of what Miss Xu had said in the past few days, he couldn't help but ask:

"Master, are you really going to give the antidote to Miss Xu?"

His question was very rude. Jun Xiaochen looked up coldly. Wei Dong quickly bowed his head and explained respectfully:

"I mean no offense. I simply wish to ask, Master, if you and Miss Xu return to the Imperial Capital this time, will Miss Xu return to the Great Sage?"

His master finally met a woman he liked, and Weidong really didn't want to see his master give up.

What's more, Miss Xu is so outstanding. No matter which aspect you look at, she is qualified to be the mistress of their Regent's Palace.

It would be such a pity if the master gave up just like that.

Wei Dong's face was filled with regret, Jun Xiaochen said with a sullen look:

“If you have nothing to do, go and clean all the horses.

Before we set out tomorrow, I want every horse to be dust-free."

Wei Dong was stunned, then his face turned bitter:

"Master, subordinates..."

"Go down."

Jun Xiaochen raised his eyes, and the coldness in his eyes made Wei Dong's chrysanthemum tighten. He didn't dare to say anything more and quickly apologized and left.

A quarter of an hour later, the guards in the post station were all puzzled when they saw Wei Dong running to the stable to brush the horse in the rain.

A few guards who came to join in the fun ran to ask Weidong what was going on. Weidong kicked each of them and then forced them to do hard labor, which attracted the other guards to watch the fun.

Jun Xiaochen had no plans to dine separately from Xu Junjun tonight.

After finishing the important matters, he put on his robe and went to Xu Junjun's room.

When he entered the room, the plate of candied fruit in Xu Junjun's hand was empty.

Seeing Xu Junjun clinging to the window frame and looking down, Jun Xiaochen understood in his heart, but did not show any expression on his face.

"What are you looking at."

When he walked to Xu Junjun's side, he saw her stretching her neck and looking out. Jun Xiaochen spoke without warning, almost scaring Xu Junjun to fall out of the window.

Clinging to the window frame to regain consciousness, Xu Junjun turned her head and saw the innocent-looking man. She frowned and raised her voice:

"Are you a ghost? Why are you walking silently?"

This stinky man just plays tricks and scares her all day long.

Do you know that if people scare others, they can scare them to death!

Jun Xiaochen had no intention of defending himself, he just glanced at the two people's long legs close together:

"If a martial artist's footsteps were noticeable to everyone, he would be killed before he even got close to the enemy."

Seeing Xu Junjun curl her lips, Jun Xiaochen glanced at the rain curtain outside the window and said:

"What were you looking at?"

Xu Junjun, who was so aggressive just now, suddenly froze. He stood in front of Jun Xiaochen, and sneaked his hands back, trying to close the window.

"I didn't see anything, just the rain."

She raised her lower lip towards Jun Xiaochen, and seeing that the man's eyes were still looking behind her, Xu Junjun simply took action and pushed him away from the window.

"There's nothing to see. Let's go. I have something to tell you."
