Chapter 808: Chapter 802 Going to the East Sea

"You and Miss Gu mustn’t take the carriage or ride horses, but rather walk eastward. Pay attention along the way, don’t leave any traces. Jin Zijin will soon realize he’s been fooled, but we can’t let him find us that easily."

...

The carriage wheels bumped harshly over the stones, jolting Gu Youyou awake.

She yawned and lifted the carriage curtain to ask Jin Ziyuan outside, "What time is it now?"

Jin Ziyuan turned his head and said, "It must be almost dawn."

Almost dawn? Are they almost there?

Gu Youyou hurriedly tidied up her somewhat disheveled clothing and said, "There’s no need to enter the city, just let me off in the outskirts, thank you Jin Ziyuan. I don’t have much to thank you with, some other day I’ll make more medicinal pellets for you."

The Jin Ziyuan driving the carriage remained silent without responding; Gu Youyou awkwardly twisted her mouth, lowered the curtain, and returned inside.

After a long while, Jin Ziyuan’s voice came through, "This isn’t the way back to Beijing."

Gu Youyou suddenly stood up and pulled open the curtain.

"Not the way back to Beijing?"

Looking at the faintly bright sky, Gu Youyou realized they had reached a hilly area, whereas Beijing belonged to the flat plains of Beiping, without such terrain.

Her expression darkened as she asked coldly, "Where are you taking me?"

What a Jin Ziyuan, was he repaying kindness with vengeance?

She hadn’t returned all night, and the Lin Family was still alright—if an eunuch from the Emperor conveyed a message that she was out on a medical call, all would be well. But could Jin Zijin believe that? He must be dead worried mad.

"I want to go back to Beijing!" she said.

Jin Ziyuan said, "The way back to Beijing is full of Huo Li’s men, going back now would be walking into a trap."

"But..." She was about to say that Jin Zijin must be looking for her, but Jin Ziyuan interrupted her.

"Don’t count on Jin Zijin. If he were free enough to come rescue you, you wouldn’t have been taken out of the city by Huo Li so easily. Follow me to the East Sea to hide for a while; once he’s dealt with the trouble that is Huo Li, he’ll come looking for you."

Gu Youyou paused, then stopped talking.

She didn’t believe that Jin Zijin would have anything more important than her own safety—mainly, it was hearing Jin Ziyuan suggest going to the East Sea that matched her own intentions.

The two meteorites had come from the East Sea; perhaps, there could be discoveries to be made there.

Moreover, if Jin Zijin really had troubles, without her as a hindrance, he could deal with Huo Li with peace of mind.

"Fine, I’ll write a letter to him, and you find a way to get it to him, so he won’t worry."

Jin Ziyuan turned his head, his voice indifferent, "There’s no need for a letter, I will have someone deliver a message."

Gu Youyou pursed her lips and stopped talking, turning back into the carriage.

After moving forward for a while, the carriage gradually came to a stop.

Jin Ziyuan brought a boy around fifteen or sixteen years old, slender and small, to Gu Youyou and said, "Huo Li isn’t easy to fool, exchange clothes with him."

Gu Youyou looked at the skinny boy and gave a slight nod.

Since she chose to let Jin Ziyuan rescue her, she would just have to trust him.

Changing clothes was just swapping her outer robe; Gu Youyou quickly changed and stepped down from the carriage.

She donned men’s clothing and men’s hairstyle. Added to the fact that her walking posture wasn’t like the delicate steps of dainty young ladies—if not for her face being too delicate, she could almost pass off as a man.

Jin Ziyuan also changed into a set of clothes, very plain ones. Seeing Gu Youyou’s disguise, he was slightly taken aback.

He said, "I’m sorry you have to walk, can you manage?"
