“I’m not telling you now.”

Bai Xianyu kept them in suspense. She was preparing a way out for them. The fewer people who knew, the better. She believed in her second brother, but there was no wall in the world that did not leak.

Moreover, she did not know if they would stop her because they were afraid that she would be in danger.

Bai Mohuai’s smile deepened. “Little Yu already has secrets from me.”

Bai Xianyu’s lips curled up slightly. “By the way, Brother, have you considered what I told you previously?”

Her words silenced the air for a moment.

“Little Yu, it’s not that easy to do business with the imperial family.” Bai Mohuai was silent for a moment. “Now, 1 can’t spend all the money I’ve earned in a few lifetimes. There’s no need to get myself involved.”

“Brother, have you ever thought about what would happen one day?”

Bai Mohuai looked at her deeply and smiled. “Little Yu, 1 know that you’ve grown up now and have your own thoughts, and are worried about your brothers’ safety. However, Father was originally a general from humble beginnings without the complicated relationship of those generals in the capital. All the favor came from the Emperor. We’re the sharpest knives in his hand. He won’t cut off his own arms.”

Bai Xianyu had once believed Second Brother’s words, but who could guarantee what would happen in the future?

From their point of view, Emperor Wu Xuan indeed had no reason to lay hands on them.

However, from her point of view, Emperor Wu Xuan seemed to have a reason for them to die.

Were their achievements a threat to their master?

She used to think so, but now that she thought about it, she felt that something was amiss.

What was the reason that they had to die?

“… I know.” Seeing that she could not convince Bai Mohuai, Bai Xianyu could only do it herself.

“What are you guys talking about?”

Bai Xianyu turned around and smiled. “Nothing much. Where did you go, Brother?”

Bai Jingyuan smiled faintly. “His Majesty summoned me to the palace. I’ll set off for Liang Province the day after tomorrow.”

Bai Xianyu looked surprised. “Is that where Grandmother’s place is?”

“Ehm.”

That’s great!

“I want to go too.” Bai Xianyu found an excuse and raised the letter in her hand. Her red lips curled up slightly. “Aunt sent a letter saying that she wants to see me. I wish to go and see them too.”

Bai Jingyuan paused for a second. “I’m going there to work on a case this time. I’m afraid I can’t go with you.”

“It’s alright. 1 can go to Aunt’s house myself. 1 heard that the scenery in Jiangnan is very nice, and Mother is also from there. 1 want to see what the place where she grew up is like.”

Bai Mohuai smiled indulgently. “Since Little Yu wishes to go, then go. However, 1 heard that the waterway to Liang Province isn’t very peaceful recently. You have to be careful.”

“With me around, 1 definitely won’t let anything happen to Sister.” Bai Jingyuan nodded. “In that case, Little Yu, just get someone to pack your things.”

“Alright.”

Xie Xingyun left the Chengqian Palace and did not leave directly. Instead, he went to look for Gu Yu.

Gu Yu lived in the palace. It was not where the concubines lived, but a place for the princes to rest.

When Xie Xingyun arrived, he bumped into Gu Yu packing his bag. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Is he going to run away because he failed to treat?”

Gu Yu turned his head, picked up a fan to cover his face and laughed, “No, no. Of course, a peerless divine doctor like me can treat any illness! Even if she has half a foot in the netherworld, I can still pull her back!”

“Have some shame.”

“It takes one to know one.” Gu Yu smiled brightly. “Although the Empress’s illness is a little tricky, meeting me means that she’s not destined to die.”

Xie Xingyun walked in and casually leaned against the table. “Where are you going after this?”

“Go as 1 please, save as I please. When I’ve used up the reward of ten thousand taels of gold, 1’11 go and open a ranking to earn some travel expenses. There’s nothing more carefree in life than this.”

As Gu Yu spoke, he took out a large vat from the side of the bed and untied the wrapped cloth. He took out a few jade bottles and opened the lid of the vat. There were dozens of Gu worms inside!

They were white, fat, and alive!

“It’s just that 1 have to pity my baby worms. They have to wander with me.”

Xie Xingyun,”…”

“I’m going to Jiangnan in a few days. If you have nothing to do, 1 can let you take a ride.”

Gu Yu was stunned for a moment before he said happily, “That’s good. 1 still have a few places in Jiangnan that 1 haven’t been to. It would be good if 1 could save on the traveling expenses. Moreover, there are many pirates on the waterway. With a top expert like you around, I can rest assured.”

After all, he had ten thousand taels of gold now.

“Ehm.”

Gu Yu’s brows relaxed and he went back to fiddling with his herbs. He opened the window and the sunlight shone in, shining on the various kinds of Gu worms and dried herbs..
