Chapter 490 Delivering Medicine to the Regent

After seeing off the Beixiu banquet, Shen Ruzhou turned around and returned to the hospital, where he asked Miaodong to prepare hot soup and took a comfortable bath.

After taking a bath, the fatigue of the past few days was gone. The Beixiu Banquet was back. She thought it would be safe to come to Lu Huaining, and she could finally sleep soundly.

Shen Ruzhou got dressed and walked into the back hall. After seeing the small medicine bottle on the desk, he was stunned.

Despite thousands of warnings, the Beixiu Banquet ended up leaving without even taking any medicine to treat injuries.

"Miaodong, help me change my clothes. I'll go deliver medicine to the regent."

Considering Bei Xiuyan's injury, Shen Ruzhou made a decision immediately.

Miaodong originally wanted to persuade Shen Ruzhou to send it tomorrow, but seeing that she was already putting on her coat, she didn't say anything and helped her sort out her clothes.

The master and servant walked towards the door one after another. Shen Ruzhou walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said, "Miaodong, I can go by myself. You can guard the hospital."

After saying that, she tightened the medicine bottle in her hand, not daring to delay any longer, and hurried out the door.

Shen Ruzhou originally planned to go to the Regent's Palace, but thinking of the arrangements for the Beixiu Banquet just now, she changed direction and walked towards the city gate.

Beixiu Yan planned to send Huaining back, then leave the city to join the army, and then enter Beijing with the army two days later. So it should be just the right time for her to go to the city gate.

Here, Beixiu Banquet has sent Lu Huaining back to the Regent's Mansion and is now riding towards the city gate.

When they were approaching the city gate, they saw Shen Ruyi waiting there in a red dress from a distance.

Bei Xiuyan suddenly felt warm in his heart, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and sped up.

Shen Ruzhou looked at Beixiu Banquet approaching, with a hint of joy on his face. Before he could get off his horse, he ran over, carefully took out the medicine bottle from his arms, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I forgot to bring the medicine."

Looking at Shen Ruzhou's cold red face, pity flashed in Bei Xiuyan's eyes. He reached out and lifted Shen Ruzhou onto the horse, wrapping his cloak tightly around her.

Shen Ruzhou sat on the horse, still in shock, looking at Bei Xiuyan with suspicious eyes, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"If you don't trust me, then go out of the city with me and see my wounds and change my medicine on time." Bei Xiuyan looked at Shen Ruzhou with shining eyes, which were a bit brighter than the stars in the night sky.

Shen Ruzhou was already leaning in Bei Xiuyan's arms, but when he met these eyes that seemed to be able to speak, his breathing became rapid.

"Just as the prince says." She tried her best to make her voice sound normal, but her blushing cheeks had already been clearly seen by Bei Xiuyan.

The cold night was silent, as if they were the only two people in the world.

Bei Xiuyan didn't say anything more, he just held Shen Ruzhou tightly in his arms, pulled the reins of his horse, and ran out of the city.

After walking for about an hour, a cold wind suddenly blew, and soon there was heavy snow like goose feathers.

The road was slippery and difficult to walk on. There happened to be a tavern next to the official road. Beixiu Yan decided to go in first to take shelter and then join the army at dawn.

The wine house is not big, with only five or six tables, but there are many people eating at this time, more than a dozen people are drinking and eating.

Bei Xiuyan and Shen Ruzhou walked into the wine house and found a place to sit down in the corner. The waiter diligently served a pot of hot tea and said sheepishly: "Two guests, there are many customers in the shop today, so the food may have to wait a while."

"It doesn't matter. We'll just wait." Shen Ruzhou didn't care much and waved to let the waiter go.

Bei Xiuyan raised his hand to pour a pot of hot tea and handed it to Shen Ruzhou, and said with concern: "Warm yourself first."

Shen Ruzhou picked up the hot tea and drank it, feeling that his internal organs were indescribably comfortable.

Shen Ruzhou looked at the people in the hall and smiled helplessly at the Beixiu Banquet, "There are indeed a lot of people. I'm afraid our meals will really have to wait for a while."

After saying this sentence, there was no reaction from Beixiu Yan. Shen Ruzhou then realized that Beixiu Yan was quickly scanning the people eating, and his expression instantly became solemn.

Shen Ruzhou approached him alertly and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Bei Xiuyan pondered for a while and said: "The identities of these people are a bit suspicious. They look like royal guards. Although their clothes are ordinary, the patterns on their weapons are unique to the Xiao royal family."

Shen Ruzhou was shocked and secretly took a closer look. Sure enough, the patterns on those people's swords were the same as those on Jun Wu's sword.

"Are they Xiao Chenyan's people?" Shen Ruzhou expressed his guess, and Beixiu Yan nodded noncommittally.

"It looks like he has finished his errands and is preparing to return to Beijing." Bei Xiuyan's voice was light and without any emotion.

Shen Ruzhou felt like beating a drum in his heart, with a bad premonition. "Your Majesty, Xiao Chenyan doesn't have any bad ideas, does he?"

Bei Xiuyan's dark pupils met Shen Ruzhou's eyes, full of inquiry.

Shen Ruzhou touched his head in embarrassment and said: "I shouldn't be suspicious without any evidence, but I always feel that Xiao Chenyan is planning something secretly."

Shen Ruzhou has always been sober and rational, but now she relies on intuition, and she feels a little guilty.

Just when she was wondering if she was too sensitive, Bei Xiuyan spoke,

"I think he wants to plot against me."

Shen Ruzhou's pupils shrank suddenly and he asked hurriedly: "Did the prince notice something?"
