Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

Night fell, and Cui Yu'an and Li Changyu stood quietly outside the carriage. All was silent, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects. Their gazes frequently drifted towards the women's quarters, their hearts filled with unease and worry.

Just then, Shen Yanchu hurriedly carried Qinghuan into the carriage. The young woman was covered in sweat and burning up, clearly unwell. Shen Yanchu's face was filled with anxiety and concern. He carefully placed Qinghuan on the seat and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.

The young women, dressed in blood-stained clothes, had suffered severe torture during the day and now lay dazed on the soft couches. Shen Yanchu anxiously took their pulses one by one, his expression growing increasingly grave.

"It's typhoid fever caused by a wound infection; it needs immediate treatment!" Shen Yanchu's voice revealed a hint of anxiety.

Miss Shi's face was as pale as paper, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Shen Yanchu gently wiped away her sweat, his eyes full of concern and heartache.

"Hang in there, Miss Shi, you will get better," he said softly.

Shen Yanchu walked slowly out of the carriage with a heavy expression. The two people outside immediately stepped forward to ask how the girls were injured.

"Oh no, this is not good. Master Liu, there is a dense forest ahead. We will not travel tonight. Let's stay away from the main road and make a fire to brew medicine for these girls. Don't worry about safety at night. We'll take care of everything."

The two drivers exchanged glances before continuing the carriage journey.

In a place overgrown with weeds, shaded by trees, and with high mountains and dense forests, Shen Yanchu and Li Changyu were making their way forward cautiously. Their figures appeared and disappeared among the trees, as if they had become one with nature.

Shen Yanchu instructed Li Changyu to keep watch from the tallest tree ahead, so as to observe the surrounding situation. Li Changyu was agile and quickly climbed to the top of the tree. His eyes were sharp as he vigilantly surveyed the surroundings.

This place was several miles from the official road, making it difficult for the pursuers from Licheng to find their tracks. Shen Yanchu and Li Changyu breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but they knew they couldn't let their guard down. The carriage stopped in a relatively open area in the woods, and Cui Yu'an quickly started a fire to brew the medicine.

Miss Shi and the others are unmarried women, and it's really inconvenient for us, being all men, to change their dressings. "Wenzhu, tomorrow we'll head southeast to Yongxing Town. It's a major town for people traveling between the north and south. Chen Shi will definitely think we're heading north, since his investigation showed that we were going north. Miss Shi and the others are seriously injured, and the medicine I've prepared won't be able to cure them."

Cui Yu'an nodded as he watched the fire. This was the best solution. It wouldn't be right for these girls to be without maids to serve them along the way. However, we don't have much money right now, and besides, if anything happens to these girls, it would be inconvenient for us men to handle it.

“I’ll listen to you. You all sleep tonight. I’ll watch over them. Once the medicine is ready, I’ll give it to them.” Cui Yu’an was helpless as Shen Yanchu was still putting on a brave face. For no reason, Miss Shi and the others had become murderers, imprisoned, and tortured. These people were so ruthless, treating these delicate women who couldn’t even kill a chicken.

Shen Yanchu glanced at him; he understood that this guy was worried about his health. But now that things are this serious, how can I rest in peace?

"No need, I'm fine, don't worry!" Shen Yanchu looked around at her surroundings, not daring to let her guard down.

In the dense forest, he held a freshly brewed medicinal soup in his hand. The bitter smell of the soup permeated the air, mingling with the fresh scent of the forest.

They carefully fed the medicine to Miss Shi and the other injured people. Miss Shi was pale, still feverish, and drenched in sweat. Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an moved gently and meticulously, and after feeding them the medicine, they covered them with blankets.

After feeding them the medicine, the two didn't go far. They quietly stayed on the carriage shaft, keeping a close watch on Shi and the others. A gentle breeze blew through the forest, bringing a touch of coolness. Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on them.

Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an looked exhausted as they sat cross-legged, regulating their breathing. They had both exerted excessive internal energy tonight, causing their dantian to spasm and churn, which they had endured with great effort. In the quiet night, they occasionally rose to check on the girls' injuries. Fortunately, the medicine began to take effect in the latter half of the night, and their fevers subsided somewhat, but their wounds remained severe.

"Master Liu, let's go! It's cool at night. Let's go to Yongxing Town. Wenzhu, you go back to your carriage to rest. I'll stay here and keep watch." Cui Yu'an was about to argue when Shen Yanchu kicked him off the carriage. With a wave of Shen Yanchu's hand, the carriage slowly set off.

Cui Yu'an got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and Li Changyu, who was in the tree, also jumped down and looked at Cui Yu'an in confusion: "What's going on? Are you in such a hurry to travel this late? Hey, how did he kick you off the car? Aren't you brothers?"

Cui Yu'an glared at him, turned and got into the car. Li Changyu laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, Young Master Cui, don't be angry. I didn't mean to laugh at you. Let's hurry up and leave! Young Master Shen is nowhere to be seen."

Moonlight filtered through the leaves, dappling the path through the woods. Li Changyu stamped his foot and nimbly leaped onto the carriage. However, since Young Master Cui was still sulking, he didn't enter the carriage but instead chose to meditate and regulate his breathing on the carriage shaft.

The carriage swayed and rattled through the woods, its wheels rustling over fallen leaves. As time passed, the sky gradually brightened.

The morning air was exceptionally fresh, carrying the fragrance of earth and grass. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if adding a touch of life to this tranquil journey.

Li Changyu sat on the carriage shaft, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing steady and deep. His face appeared particularly resolute in the morning light, as if he were one with the surrounding nature.

Inside the carriage, Young Master Cui may still be brooding over what happened earlier, but as the carriage moved forward, his mood gradually calmed down.

As the sun gradually rose, golden sunlight bathed the carriage, adding a warm touch to the scene. The carriage continued its journey through the forest, heading towards Yongxing Town.

As dawn broke, Yongxing Town remained shrouded in tranquility. Shen Yanchu led the convoy, taking advantage of the shift change among the guards, and quietly entered this small town within the territory of Licheng.

At this moment, the sunlight at three-quarters past Chen hour (7:45 AM) shines on the street, giving people a warm yet mysterious feeling. The houses on both sides of the street are arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern, and the ancient walls are covered with moss, as if telling the story of the past.

Shen Yanchu knew this was not a place to linger, and he cautiously observed his surroundings. The caravan moved slowly forward, the sound of horses' hooves echoing through the quiet streets.

Under his leadership, the caravan quickly passed through the town's streets and arrived at a clinic. Shen Yanchu knocked on the door, and the pharmacy clerk, still half asleep, opened it while cursing. There were two carriages parked outside.

"Hey buddy, I'd like to buy some anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medicine. Here's the prescription. Please do me a favor." The young apprentice, startled awake by the man's imposing manner, quickly opened the door, took the prescription, and invited him into the shop.

"Please sit down, young master. Please wait a moment while I prepare your medicine." The young apprentice skillfully rolled up his sleeves, picked up the medicine stick, and began to prepare the medicine.

Cui Yu'an looked around the pharmacy for a long time, thinking that it would probably take him some time to get the medicine. He thought he could go to the brokerage first and buy two maids.

"Zhizhou, wait for me here. I'm going to check out the brokerage." Shen Yanchu tossed him the money pouch from her waist. "There's thirty taels of silver in here. Buy two clever and quick-witted maids. Oh, and they have to be under a death contract."

Cui Yu'an took the silver bag and nodded. After asking the young apprentice for directions to the pharmacy, he led Li Changyu out of the shop.
