Phoenix Nirvana: The King's Alluring Medical Concubine

Chapter 25 Kyoto
Xia Ziran heard Xia Zijin's cry from below, his face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Zijin, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Zijin looked at the buddy's hand holding her, lowered her head and bit down hard, taking advantage of the pain from the buddy to let go of his hand, Xia Zijin hurried to the window, grabbed the quilt and slid down.

The guy reacted quickly enough, and immediately reached out to grab Xia Zijin, but he still couldn't catch Xia Zijin, but tore off the burden on Xia Zijin's back.

Seeing that Xia Zijin landed safe and sound, Xia Ziran let go of the heart he had been carrying all along, pulled Xia Zijin and asked worriedly: "Zijin, are you alright?"

Xia Zijin shook his head, then said with red eyes, "But the burden was taken away by that man."

The silver and all the dry food were in the bag, and now that the bag was lost, it was a big blow to the two of them.

Xia Ziran didn't know if the silver on his body was enough for the two of them to go to the capital.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Xia Ziran still comforted Xia Zijin softly and said, "It's okay, Daddy still has some silver taels here, so it should be fine for us to save some money."

Xia Zijin nodded, and then asked, "Then Dad, where are we going now?"

Xia Ziran didn't have much silver on him, and now that there was no more dry food, he might have nothing to eat after going to the inn. After thinking about it, Xia Ziran decided to take Xia Zijin to find a ruined temple to stay temporarily.

Soon the two found a ruined temple for the two to rest. There was nothing in it except some straw, and the two had to make do and sleep on the straw.

At dawn, the two bought some steamed stuffed buns and continued on their way. The journey from Nanyang to Kyoto was at least five days. According to their current financial resources and Xia Ziran's leg problem, it would take at least ten days to get there.

After five days like this, the two of them stayed in the inn for one night, and slept in the ruined temple or other pavilions for the rest of the time.

Xia Ziran counted his silver taels while walking, and found that there were only three taels of silver left in his whole body, which meant that one tael a day was not enough for the remaining five days.

It seems that it is impossible for the two of them to eat three meals a day in the next few days.

"Daddy, I'm so itchy."

The two hadn't showered for seven or eight days, and Xia Ziran's body was not itchy, but now that the two of them were in a situation where even changing clothes was a luxury, there was no need to talk about taking a bath.

He touched Xia Zijin's head, "Zijin, bear with it, you can take a bath when you get to grandma's house."

Xia Zijin had no choice but to nod her head, full of expectations for the grandma's house that Xia Ziran was talking about.

However, what the two of them didn't know was that what was waiting for them was not heaven, but hell!

For the next five days, the two lived like beggars, with dirty clothes and smelly hair. The hungry two finally arrived at the legendary Kyoto.

Muchen Kingdom, Kyoto.

In the eyes of the two, Nanyang, which is already considered prosperous, is like a sky and a sky compared with the Kyoto in front of them. The dazzling array of goods and people dressed in fancy clothes form a beautiful landscape.

The carriages, which were rarely seen in their town, passed here in an endless stream. All this completely subverted the two people's perception of prosperity.

Xia Zijin rubbed her eyes excitedly, "Daddy, is grandma's house really here?"

Xia Ziran nodded, and then took Xia Zijin to find a seller to find out where Lin Yuanwai lived.

Fortunately, this member of the forest seems to be relatively well-known, Xia Ziran quickly found out his residence, and after thanking the man, Xia Ziran took Xia Zijin to Lin's mansion.
