The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 118 Preparing to Leave Nanling Kingdom

Li Muxia didn't think too much about it. Seeing her hand being held by Feng Yuhan, she felt a little embarrassed.

At the same time, she thought about herself, a girl, and it really wasn't appropriate for her to wipe a man's body like that. In modern times, it wouldn't matter, since she was a doctor and Feng Yuhan was just her patient. But in this ancient era where the separation of men and women was quite conservative, she should be more discreet, lest it cause misunderstandings.

Thinking of this, Li Muxia withdrew her hand and said, "Okay, then I'll go out first. Qingyun is here too. You can ask him to help you with things you can't reach. I'll stand guard outside the door. Just call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

As Qingyun watched Li Muxia leave, she thought to herself: Was I being a bit superfluous?

Feng Yuhan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth as he watched Li Muxia flee as if she were running away.

After Li Muxia went out, she realized that there were a lot of people in the inn. It was lunchtime, and the downstairs was already full of people, most of whom seemed to be guests.

Li Muxia looked around and said, "I didn't expect this inn to be doing so well."

Smelling the aroma of the food, Li Muxia's stomach growled appropriately, just in time to be heard by Feng Yuhan, who had finished dressing and pushed open the door.

Li Muxia turned around and saw Feng Yuhan, and felt awkward for a moment.

Feng Yuhan curled his lips and ordered, "Qingyun, have the kitchen prepare the food and send it to the next room."

He can no longer go to the room where he just detoxified; the smell of poisonous blood still lingers there.

Li Muxia was delighted to hear Feng Yuhan's words. She was indeed hungry. She had been on the run and now that she was relaxed, she realized that her stomach was completely empty.

Following Feng Yuhan to the next room, Li Muxia dutifully checked Feng Yuhan's pulse again to confirm that the poison had been completely neutralized before she felt relieved.

He said, "Sect Master Feng, your poison has been cured. I'll take my leave after we finish eating."

When Feng Yuhan heard that Li Muxia was leaving, his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily as he asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Muxia said, "I'm at the Prince's Mansion. My senior brother is there. I've been missing for several days now. He must be very worried."

Feng Yuhan said, "I advise you not to go back yet."

Upon hearing Feng Yuhan's words, Li Muxia looked at him in confusion and asked, "Why?"

Feng Yuhan: "Going back now would be like walking into a trap. Nangong Huaiyuan has already arranged for people to guard the Prince Yu's residence. As soon as you show your face, you will be arrested and taken back to the Prince Huai's residence. Do you still want to go back?"

Hearing Feng Yuhan's words, Li Muxia finally realized what was happening and regretted her carelessness. She cupped her hands to thank Feng Yuhan and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Pavilion Master Feng."

But then she thought, if she couldn't go back to the Prince's Mansion, where could she go?

Seeing Li Muxia holding her head in her hands, looking distressed, Feng Yuhan said, "I will send someone to inform your senior brother. Consort Shu's condition is not serious anymore. I suggest you leave here first."

Upon hearing Feng Yuhan's words, Li Muxia only needed a moment's thought to understand. Given Prince Huai's temperament, as long as she remained in the capital, he would eventually catch her. Moreover, Consort Shu's illness had indeed improved, and she had made arrangements before leaving the palace. Now was indeed the best time to leave.

Thinking of this, Li Muxia said, "Sect Master Feng is right. I will set off tomorrow. I would also like to trouble Sect Master Feng to inform my senior brother that I will be waiting for him in Wutong Town, which is not far from the capital."

At this moment, the food was served one after another. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Li Muxia swallowed and her stomach naturally responded with a rumble.

Li Muxia gave an awkward laugh, and Feng Yuhan said with a smile, "Eat."

Li Muxia then picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Remembering that Feng Yuhan was sitting opposite her, Li Muxia restrained her eating manners a bit. But compared to Feng Yuhan, it was like heaven and earth. However, Li Muxia didn't care about that, after all, this wasn't the first time she had eaten with Feng Yuhan.

Seeing Li Muxia's eating habits, Feng Yuhan didn't think it was bad. On the contrary, he thought that her way of eating made the food taste better and would also make the people eating with her have an appetite.

Seeing that Li Muxia had almost finished eating, Feng Yuhan said, "I don't think it's appropriate for you to say that you want to wait for your senior brother in Wutong Town."

Li Muxia was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief when she heard Feng Yuhan's words. She paused slightly and asked, "Why is it inappropriate?" She trusted Feng Yuhan completely now; his meticulous thinking helped her overcome many crises.

Feng Yuhan slowly analyzed for Li Muxia: "Prince Huai has already arranged for people to guard the Prince Yu's residence. As soon as your senior brother leaves the residence, he will be watched by Prince Huai's people. At that time, it will be difficult to find you by following the clues."

Hearing this, Li Muxia frowned and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Feng Yuhan was just waiting for Li Muxia to ask this question, so he quickly said, "You can go back to the Eastern Kingdom first. Once you get there, Nangong Huaiyuan's forces won't be able to infiltrate so easily, and then they won't be able to do anything to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia asked anxiously, "What about my senior brother? What if Nangong Huaiyuan can't catch me and takes his anger out on my senior brother?"

Hearing Li Muxia's words, Feng Yuhan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Shangguan Jingye is of no use to Nangong Huaiyuan. He's just bait to catch you. There won't be any danger for the time being. Moreover, I will send people to protect him so that he can return to the Eastern Kingdom smoothly."

Upon hearing Feng Yuhan's words, Li Muxia quickly said gratefully, "In that case, thank you very much, Pavilion Master Feng. Then please trouble Pavilion Master Feng to tell my senior brother that I am waiting for him in the Eastern Kingdom."

Feng Yuhan nodded and said, "I'm going back to the Eastern Kingdom tomorrow anyway, so why don't we go together?"

Li Muxia was drinking tea when she heard Feng Yuhan's words. She had eaten something a bit too salty and wanted to moisten her mouth. She choked on her tea and coughed several times before stopping, tears streaming down her face.

Looking at Feng Yuhan, he said, "Well, I might be traveling slowly. If you have something to do, Pavilion Master Feng, you don't need to wait for me. You can go ahead first."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuhan said, "No rush, I'm fine too. It'll be good to travel together and have someone to keep me company."

Hearing Feng Yuhan's words, Li Muxia didn't know how to refuse, so she could only laugh awkwardly and say, "In that case, let's go together. Thank you, Pavilion Master Feng."

How could she not see that Feng Yuhan was probably deliberately choosing to travel with her? Although she didn't know the reason, after spending time with him, she felt he wasn't as cold-hearted as the rumors suggested. He shouldn't hurt her, right?
