2497 Entering the Capital (1)
Qiaoqiao did what she had been compensated to do. Since they were done, she requested that the other party hurry and skedaddle She didn’t intend to make small talk with Physician Chang and them.
However, Physician Chang was crestfallen and could not bear to part.
He had neglected sleep and food last night and analyzed the “green paint” for the entire day and night. However, he was only able to make out a third of the medicinal materials within.
Sigh…
He should bring this “green paint” back to the Qin Estate and request all the pill alchemists to appraise it together!
“Little pill alchemist, from the direction you are headed, you are returning to the capital too. If you have the time, we welcome you to visit our Qin Estate.”
Qiao Mu waved her petite hand. “We have already squared accounts. You just have to act like we don’t know each other if we meet later on.”
Physician Chang: …
So depressing!
What kind of apathetic temperament was this!?
He had already tried to make conversation, wuwuwu, yet the little pill alchemist still disliked them.
It was all the young sir’s fault for having such a fussy temper. He had indeed thoroughly offended this little expert during these few days!
After returning to the government boat, Qiao Mu saw Mo Lian walking onto the deck.
He had come on the dot. His eyes couldn’t help but light up when he saw her come back. “Wifey, you’re so early today.”
Qiao Mu looked at him speechlessly. “There actually wasn’t much to do today. I just took his pulse and fed him an antidote pill.”
Mo Lian had been rather unhappy.
Qiaoqiao would run to the Qin Estate’s boat every day. Even though she would be there for less than an hour, he was still worried.
When he thought of the Qin Clan’s eldest and second eldest, his mood would take a plunge.
This was his intuition accurately sensing that these two people were going to come out and ruin things!
“Don’t be so close to the people from the Qin Estate in the future, okay?”
“Okay. Qiao Mu nodded her petite head. She had no objections.
She disliked the Qin Clan anyway. From Qin Guilu to Second Qin to this fussy fifth young sir, none of them were good people!
He pulled her into his embrace and said while looking down at her with a smile, “Qiaoqiao, you’re so good to me.”
Qiao Mu nodded her petite head emphatically. She deadpanned, “I also think so too.”
Mo Lian broke out in laughter while holding her.
After eating lunch, the two of them took a pleasant afternoon nap. The government boat pulled in to shore in the evening.
Qiao Mu looked up. It was a checkpoint at the capital’s outer perimeter.
It was rather large in scope, the size of a small town. There were especially a large number of travelers.
There were many people still lining up at the checkpoint to enter the gate.
After getting on shore, Mo Lian instructed Fang Su to not disturb the peace. They would stay low-key.
The latter quickly showed the imperial token in his hand to the soldiers at the checkpoint.
The other party clearly jumped in shock from the imperial token. They hastily lowered their heads respectfully in salute.
The leader of the soldiers at the checkpoint quickly came upon receiving the news. He respectfully led Mo Lian, Qiao Mu, and their entourage over. Nothing happened along the way.
“It’s actually this quiet and peaceful.” Qiao Mu blinked curiously.
There definitely were numerous powers keeping an eye on the crown prince’s striking return to the capital.
However, the time was still early as they had come from the Weixi River.
“They’ll be annoyed enough later on.” Mo Lian curled his lips with a spurious smile.
After all, sending back information needed time.
They had yet to step into the capital’s borders…
Qiao Mu looked around curiously and strode past the checkpoint with Mo Lian.
Everyone switched to carriages pulled by mystic horses. They headed toward the capital while keeping a low profile.
