Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 261: Food in Hand, No Panic in Exile 4

It took them half a month to travel from Bingzhou to the capital. During this half month, Chu Yuan also got some news from the court from Shen Heyan through his exquisite cooking skills and moderate concern.

It turns out that Shen Heyan's father used to be the prince's tutor, that is, the teacher of the current emperor, so he is a very loyal royalist.

From what Chu Yuan heard from him, the regent was a cruel and bloodthirsty villain who had always coveted the throne.

General Lu Nanfeng, as his best brother and of course his most capable assistant, had secretly done many things for the Regent that were detrimental to the imperial power and was a thorn in the eyes of all royalists.

In the plot of the original book, it seems that the emperor is the licentious and incompetent ruler who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, while the regent, as the male protagonist, is the hero who saves the people from dire straits.

Based on Chu Yuan's experience of traveling through so many small worlds, the content of the original book is not necessarily true. After all, novels are fictionalized by the author. As long as human intervention occurs, the whole story will be heavily subjective.

So Chu Yuan didn't believe any of the arguments from either party.

As for the Lu family's misfortune, she was more inclined to believe that it was the result of the political game between the two sides, because in the plot she received, even if the regent sat on the throne in the later period, he only rehabilitated the Lu family's reputation of treason, and did not recall the entire Lu family to the capital, let alone return the military power.

Her friendship with Shen Heyan at this time did not mean that she was on the side of the royalists. She just wanted to get things done because she had someone in the court.

When she followed her aunt's family to Shu, the emperor was far away and it didn't matter to her who sat on that position.

Soon the carriage arrived at the county near the capital, and it would take another day to reach the city gate. Chu Yuan also seized the opportunity to take the pill he had prepared.

This pill was specially made by her. After taking it, the patient will show symptoms of cold and will also have irregular fever.

Since Shen Heyan was the leader of the team this time, she arrived in the capital four days earlier than in her previous life.

But Chu Yuan was not planning to enter the city gate this time. As long as she was not openly related to the Lu family, she would still be the lady of the Chu family from Bingzhou. Who knew what she was doing in the capital?

Anyway, her aunt would definitely not tell anyone. As for Shen Heyan, she was just a weak woman who posed no threat to the imperial power. It would not make any difference if there was one more or one less person in the exile team.

And after spending some time together, she didn't believe that Shen Heyan would be so cruel as to send her into exile.

There are many ways to take care of my aunt's family along the way, and being exiled with them is the most undesirable one. Chu Yuan would not be stupid enough to do that.

If she were still a free person, she could go ahead of the exile team and arrange everything for them. When they arrived in Shu, she could buy them a property and a few acres of land. This would have fulfilled the original owner's wish.

So that night, Chu Yuan developed a high fever. Chun Tao knocked on Shen Heyan's door in panic and said, "Sir Shen, my young lady has a fever and won't wake up no matter how hard we call her. Please help me get a doctor to save my young lady."

Shen Heyan immediately put on his coat and walked out of the room: "Someone, go get the best doctor here, and hurry up."

The time they had spent together had made Shen Heyan develop a liking for this lively and smart girl. When he heard that she had a sudden illness, he became extremely anxious and immediately sent his men out to call a doctor.

It was the first time that the subordinate saw his master so nervous about a girl. He rushed into the nearest clinic without stopping and pulled the doctor out of bed.

When the doctor saw the official uniform on him, he immediately followed him with his medicine box. He did not dare to offend this ferocious official.

After he carefully examined the pulse of the girl on the bed, he felt relieved: "My Lord, this girl has just been overworked recently and was exposed to the cold wind, so she has caught a cold. She only needs to take a few doses of pungent and warm soups to relieve the exterior and dispel wind and cold, and she will be cured."

After hearing this, Shen Heyan felt a little guilty. If he hadn't been in a hurry to get on the road, Miss Chu wouldn't have gotten sick.

"Then I'll trouble you to prescribe a prescription, doctor."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Because Chu Yuan was ill and unable to travel, after Shen Heyan saw that she was awake, he left his two capable subordinates in the inn to protect her safety and went back to Beijing to report on his work.

"Miss Chu, don't worry. The doctor said you just caught a cold. You will be fine after taking some medicine. I will come to pick you up in a few days."

Chu Yuan maintained a weak appearance and shook his head slightly: "No need to trouble Lord Shen, this place is not far from the capital anyway, I will go into the city by myself after I recover from my illness."

Shen Heyan frowned in disapproval: "How can that be? Since I have been entrusted with this task, I must be loyal to the person who entrusted me with it. Besides, you are a weak woman. What will happen if you encounter bandits on the road?"

When Chu Yuan heard that there were bandits nearby, he showed a surprised expression: "Are there bandits under the feet of the emperor?"

Shen Heyan whispered softly as if coaxing a child: "Of course, there are bad people everywhere in this world. This is the last checkpoint to enter the capital. If I were a highway robber, I would definitely choose this as the ambush location."

"So, be obedient and wait for me to pick you up."

Chu Yuan saw him raise and lower his hand, and nodded obediently: "Thank you, Master Shen."

In the next few days, Chu Yuan stayed in the inn to recuperate, and the two people left behind by Shen Heyan also took care of her diligently.

However, whenever Chu Yuan felt that she was well and wanted to leave early, they would stop her: "Miss Chu, you should wait a little longer. My master said that he would come to pick you up personally, and he will definitely come."

Chuntao and Zhuzi also said: "Miss, please wait a few more days. It is still too dangerous for you to go alone."

Only Chu Yuan knew that Shen Heyan would not come again, because today was the last day, and tomorrow morning, the order to exile the entire Lu family would be issued to all places.

With Shen Heyan's status and position, it is impossible that he had not heard the news in advance, so he would not come, would not come to pick me up to go to this aunt's house that no longer exists, and would not have any relationship with me anymore.

But to Chu Yuan's surprise, he came.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Chu Yuan's mind was constantly thinking about the various situations she would encounter on the road to exile. It was not until the second half of the night that she fell drowsy and sleepy.

But before she fell asleep, she heard a hurried knock on the door: "Miss Chu, wake up quickly."

Hearing this voice, Chu Yuan suddenly became more sober. It was Shen Heyan. He wouldn't be here to take him back.

"Is this Lord Shen? Come in."
