Medical Concubine Allure

Chapter 216 Finding Her Husband A Thousand Miles (2)
Gu Ruoya's trick really worked. Not long after they left the gate of the other courtyard, a group of people followed secretly behind them. Fortunately, the four groups of people separated their directions, and the group of people didn't know which group to follow, and they also followed. It's easy to get rid of them.

However, Gu Ruoya still feels that it is better to be careful in everything, this is a life-and-death struggle, so don't be careless.

When she was about to leave the house, she put on a special human skin mask and used a special technique to dress herself up as an old lady. Wrinkles are like blooming chrysanthemums, there is no tooth in the shriveled mouth, and it looks like it won't live for a few days.

Wan Qing is the girl who serves her. In order to make herself more realistic, she ordered the suave Feng Ying to pretend to be her son, and Xing Tian became the manager.

They looked like old ladies from a rich family, taking their son out to visit relatives. Although the carriage they used was big, it didn't look very luxurious from the outside.

Ordinary people should not doubt them when they see them, and they will not let anyone who is afraid of the crown prince be spared.

Leaving the outskirts of Beijing smoothly, they came to a county called Huailai under the capital at dusk.

They didn't dare to drive late at night, although Gu Ruoya wished to fly to Shangguan Yucheng's side, but for the sake of safety, they decided to get up early and stay late.

Otherwise, traveling at night will more likely arouse the suspicion of the prince's men and horses.

That night, I stayed in an inconspicuous inn, and asked for two upper rooms, one for Gu Ruoya and Wan Qing, one for "Young Master" Feng Ying and Xing Tian, ​​the steward, and the rest of the guards rested in the In the Datong shop, it is good to have a care.

Although there were quite a few guests staying in the inn, no one took a second look at them.

Wan Qing waited on Gu Ruoya for some dinner, and asked Xiao Er to bring hot water to wash her hands, and Gu Ruoya rested on the bed.

These days, she was exhausted.Xu Shi was startled and terrified, she always felt that her body was terribly tired, and she was not as energetic as before.

As soon as it got dark, she felt so uncomfortable that her upper and lower eyelids fought, and she just wanted to find a bed to lie on and sleep on.

In fact, it stands to reason that she slept a lot, at least four hours of rest a day, why is she still so tired?

She didn't think about anything else, she leaned against the bed and thought about her thoughts silently for a while, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I smelled a pungent burnt smell and a slight crackling sound in my sleep, and Gu Ruoya woke up suddenly.

The familiar smell and sound impacted her sense of smell and hearing, and she immediately figured out what was going on.

Is it on fire?

She hurriedly put on her coat and got out of bed, opened the window paper and looked out.

The inn they live in has a large yard with three entrances. Once they enter the door, there is a row of inverted rooms for the inn's staff. Once inside, there is a place to eat and sell food, and the back is the guest room.

The place where the fire started was very strange, it didn't come from the upside-down room in front, but directly from the guest room in the back.

Gu Ruoya squinted her eyes while leaning on the window. The person who set the fire was aimed at the guests of the guest room, and had nothing to do with the innkeeper or the staff.

Could the person who set the fire be someone sent by the prince?
Did they discover their whereabouts so soon?
She thinks that her measures are foolproof, the prince is busy these days when he ascends the throne, so it won't be so easy to find her, right?

But you have to be careful in everything, no matter whether this is the prince's person or not, they should also be careful!
Fengying and Xingtian had already come out from the next room, knocking on the door of Gu Ruoya's room.

Because Fengying was pretending to be his son, he had no choice but to shout outside: "Mother, it's on fire, please get up and open the door."

The shout woke up Wan Qing, who was sleeping soundly, the girl had been tossing around with her for a long time, she was already exhausted, and she didn't wake up Gu Ruoya.

At this time, she heard the noise and hurriedly got up, but saw a person standing by the window in the dim candlelight, which made her scream out in fright.

Gu Ruoya turned her head and glared at her. The wrinkled human skin mask made her look even weirder. Gu Ruoya, who hadn't gotten used to it, immediately yelled, "Ghost."

Putting on his clothes, he rushed to the door.

Gu Ruoya smiled helplessly, and scolded: "What the hell are you screaming? Why don't you go and open the door for the young master?"

Only then did Wan Qing understand, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and smiled embarrassedly.

The door slammed open, Feng Ying and Xing Tian strode in, greeted Gu Ruoya, and then quietly asked: "Master, is this fire aimed at us? Should we move to another place to live?"

Gu Ruoya shook her head, calmly looked at the smoky courtyard outside and the noise of people coming and going, and said calmly: "Let's wait and see what happens, don't act rashly, so as not to startle the snake!"

Fengying and Xingtian looked at each other, then silently guarded the door.

The guests sleeping in the guest room were all awakened by the fire, and ran out with their clothes on, crowding in the courtyard.

Gu Ruoya saw that many guests were crowded in the courtyard one after another, so she also ordered her men to stagger down in disheveled clothes.

Standing in the courtyard, she listened carefully, and after listening for a long time, she realized that the fire was caused by a candle in a guest's room falling down and burning the tent.

It was a false alarm, fortunately I didn't rush out, otherwise, if there was someone with the prince mixed in here, people would have noticed it.

After the fire was extinguished, the group went back to the guest room and had a good sleep, and did not get up to have breakfast until dawn the next day.

The more anxious Gu Ruoya was, the more she told the driver not to worry, and just dawdled slowly.Otherwise, it would be bad for people to know that there is an old lady sitting in this car and rushing so desperately, for fear of arousing others' suspicion.

During this journey, Gu Ruoya only felt a little nauseous every morning when she woke up. Although she didn't vomit, she always felt that her stomach was burning and uncomfortable.

After sitting in the carriage for a while and getting farther and farther away from the capital, she slowly felt relieved.

The prince's people didn't come after them at this time, and they probably didn't find their whereabouts.

Then they can hurry on their way.

Lying in the carriage, I just felt that my stomach was churning up and down, and I could vomit but couldn't vomit.

Gu Ruoya lay uncomfortably half on the short couch in the carriage, feeling her body was so soft that she had no strength at all.

Wan Qing hurriedly gave her a go, and took out a celadon chicken head pot from under the fixed cabinet in the car, took a small celadon cup with a crabapple-filled lid, and poured a cup of warm tea for her. Gu Ruoya drank it and felt better just now.
