The three of them took another route out of Guigu.
The exit here is very close to the imperial capital, so the three of them quickly arrived at the city gate.
No one knew what had happened in the city, but now the security was tight. There were several guards guarding the city gate, and everyone entering and leaving the imperial capital had to be checked.
Shen Huan was not nervous. She was more worried about Pei Zheng.
The three of them lined up to enter the city.
Shen Huan turned around and emphasized it again to the other two people.
"Remember, don't talk. If you are questioned, I will answer all the questions. Do you understand?"
Shen Shijiu nodded heavily, "I understand, Master!"
Pei Zheng stood aside, not making any comment.
Shen Huan was walking in front, and when they reached the city gate, the three of them were stopped.
"Where are you guys from? What are you doing in the city?"
Shen Huan smiled and said, "General, we are from a small town next to the imperial capital. We heard that a famous doctor opened a clinic in the city, ahem…"
Shen Huan coughed twice desperately, and the guard stepped aside with a look of disgust on his face.
"Ahem, my nephew came with me to the city to ask for medicine."
The guard glanced at the well-behaved Shen Shijiu and nodded.
"Go, go, go, don't block the people behind you."
"Thank you, General."
Shen Huan hurriedly walked towards the city, and Shen Shijiu followed closely.
"You, wait a minute!"
The guard stopped Pei Zheng and looked at him carefully.
"Are you also in the same group with these two?"
The guard obviously didn't believe it. The mask on Pei Zheng's face made his appearance look ordinary, but his deep-rooted cold temperament still emerged from his figure and eyes.
You can tell at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.
Shen Huan was startled and quickly turned around and reached out to pat Pei Zheng on the shoulder.
"Hey, you idiot, what are you doing standing here? Hurry up and follow me!"
Pei Zheng glanced at Shen Huan, and Shen Huan quickly winked at him, but Pei Zheng ignored him and walked towards the direction where Shen Shijiu was standing.
The guard was anxious, "Hey, hey, hey, did I let you go? Stop right there!"
"General, please listen to me," Shen Huan pulled the guard aside and stuffed a few silver coins into his sleeve.
"That guy just now was my eldest nephew. There's something wrong here." Shen Huan pointed his finger. "Please don't bother with him. Consider this little bit of silver as my filial piety to you. Ahem, please accept it."
The guard turned away, fearing that Shen Huan's saliva would splash on his face. He accepted the iron chain and said in a pretentious manner, "So that's how it is. Then you'd better keep an eye on him and don't let him go crazy again. Today it was just me, if it was someone else, they would be scared by him."
"Yes, yes, what the general said is right."
"Also, it seems like it's not easy for you. You're sick and have to take care of two burdens. Let me tell you a secret," the guard lowered his voice mysteriously, "Our imperial capital has been a little uneasy these days. I heard that some dangerous people have entered the city. You'd better be careful."
Shen Huan was surprised. "What should we do? I hope the general will guard the city gates strictly and catch those people as soon as possible."
Finally entering the city, the three of them walked towards Jiang Yubai's clinic.
There were fewer vendors on the street, and passers-by were in a hurry. From time to time, teams of guards patrolled the city.
Shen Huan said, "The guard just said that some dangerous people have entered the city. Could they be the same group of people who are chasing you?"
She glanced at Pei Zheng.
"It's possible."
When I arrived at Jiang Yubai's clinic, I found the door closed.
The three of them entered the clinic through the back door and saw Jiang Yubai lying leisurely in a rocking chair, basking in the sun in the yard.
Jiang Yubai was startled when he saw three people sneaking in through the back door.
"Who are you? How did you get in?!"
Shen Huan said in a rough voice, "Robber, hand over the money quickly, or I will kill you to silence you."
Shen Shijiu called out softly, "Doctor Jiang."
Jiang Yubai recognized his voice at once and naturally recognized Shen Huanlai.
Then the one standing next to him is
"Pei Zheng! You're not dead!"
Pei Zheng raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai ran over and circled around Pei Zheng twice.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's true. I heard from Chengfeng that you were seriously injured, but now you look like nothing happened. You are really lucky.
Shen Huan was proud and said, "Don't you even look at who treated you?"
Jiang Yubai said, "Yes, yes, it's true. With the help of the famous ghost doctor, there is no injury that cannot be cured."
Shen Huan cupped his hands, "No, no."
Jiang Yubai cupped his hands and said, "Disrespectful."
The two of them kept being polite to each other, and Shen Shijiu just stood by and watched Shen Huan and Jiang Yubai bow to each other.
Another person came out of the house, and after seeing Pei Zheng, he hurried over.
"master."
Pei Zheng nodded, and the two went to the side to talk.
After Shen Huan and Jiang Yubai finished their long-winded talk, Pei Zheng had also finished explaining everything to Chengfeng.
Chengfeng left the clinic first, returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and went to the palace with a handwritten letter from Pei Zheng.
Shen Huan also found the herb he was looking for in Jiang Yubai's clinic.
When the three were about to leave, Jiang Yubai grabbed Shen Shijiu.
"Master Shen, I just want to ask a question."
Shen Huan said, "Please speak."
"Can I go to Ghost Valley with you?"
Shen Huan shook his head, "Of course not, Guigu never allows outsiders to enter."
Jiang Yubai pointed at Pei Zheng and said, "What about him? He is also an outsider, so why can he go with them?"
Shen Huan was helpless, "I didn't ask him to go there. He found his way in by himself. If you could go in by yourself, I would have nothing to say."
Jiang Yubai rolled his eyes. He was not as capable as Pei Zheng.
The three of them left the clinic and returned to Guigu along the same route.
When leaving the city, the guard who took Shen Huan's hand also showed some concern for Shen Huan, which actually scared Shen Huan quite a bit.
Only when he finally returned to the bamboo house did Shen Huan breathe a sigh of relief and immediately devoted himself to the research and development of medicines.
Pei Zheng did not pester Shen Shijiu anymore. Instead, he stood silently by the river with a look of heavy heart.
Shen Shijiu couldn't find Pei Zheng anywhere, so when he found him by the river, he ran over.
"Brother Pei, why are you here? I looked for you everywhere but couldn't find you."
Pei Zheng's eyes were heavy. "Looking for me?"
Shen Shijiu nodded, "Master said it's time to change your medicine."
"good."
The two returned to the bamboo house.
Shen Shijiu came with a bunch of medicines, first focusing on treating Pei Zheng's shoulder injury, and then healed the other wounds on his body.
After applying the medicine, Shen Huan called Shen Shijiu to talk about something.
Pei Zheng stood up and walked out of the room.
The door of Shen Huan's room was not closed, and the inside was in a mess, as if it had been ransacked.
Pei Zheng walked in, carefully avoiding the debris lying on the ground.
Shen Huan was lying in the corner of the room, looking for something. When he heard the noise behind him, he thought it was Shen Shijiu coming in.
"My little disciple, have you found it? I have searched everywhere but can't find it. I remember putting the ointment in a box, how come it is gone?"
The person behind him didn't answer for a long time. Shen Huan felt strange and looked back.
The person standing behind her was not Shen Shijiu, but Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng was holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully.
Shen Huan said, "Master Pei, why is it you? I thought you were my disciple. It's so messy here, please don't trip you up."
Pei Zheng didn't say anything, his brows slightly frowned.
Shen Huan felt strange about his reaction and raised his head to look in Pei Zheng's direction.
It doesn't matter if you take a look at it. The book in Pei Zheng's hand is the one that records the secret of how foreign men can get pregnant.
"Master Pei! Well, well, well, what's written in that book is all nonsense, you must not take it seriously."
Pei Zheng closed the book before he finished speaking.
So that's how it is.
Pei Zheng suddenly smiled at Shen Huan, then turned and walked out of the room.
Shen Shijiu just happened to walk in with a small box and bumped into Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng reached out to support him, and his eyes unconsciously moved downwards.
Shen Shijiu held the small box tightly in his arms, "Phew, luckily it didn't fall."
Pei Zheng took the box from him and handed it back to him.
Shen Shijiu quickly shouted, "Master!"
Shen Huan hurried over and took the box.
Pei Zheng directly pulled Shen Shijiu out of the room.
After returning to Shen Jiujiu's own room, Pei Zheng pulled Shen Jiujiu to sit on the edge of the bed. Shen Jiujiu was puzzled and was about to stand up, but Pei Zheng put his hand on his shoulder and made him sit back.
Pei Zheng leaned down and looked at Shen Shijiu at eye level.
"Did you bump into anything just now?"
Shen Shijiu shook his head, "No."
Pei Zheng glanced at him from head to toe, as if worried, "Are you feeling any pain or discomfort anywhere?"
Shen Shijiu shook his head, "Really not, Brother Pei, I don't feel unwell anywhere."
Pei Zheng squeezed his hand and said, "Okay."
Then Pei Zheng continued to look at him without moving, and just looked at him for a long time.
Shen Shijiu moved uneasily, "Brother Pei, actually, I still have things to do."
"What's the matter?" Pei Zheng asked.
Shen Shijiu mumbled for a long time but didn't say anything.
Pei Zheng raised his head, "What's wrong? Is there anything you can't tell me?"
