Seeing that Sun Jinzi had cleared her hand, Jin Chupei ordered Gale to go call the others.

Very quickly, the owner of Drunken Wind House, Jiang Huaizhong, ran over.

He held his hands together and slightly lowered his head. Once he entered, he gave a huge bow, and then, after Jin Chupei excused himself from the formalities, he stood there with a respectful and calm demeanor.

”In the future, if you have any news, you will definitely give imperial concubine a portion. Do you know?” Jin Chupei had come to tell him about what happened after he left the capital.

As Sun Jinzi listened to Jin Chupei organize the matters after they left bit by bit, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Jin Chupei thought about her wholeheartedly, but that was not how she thought in her heart. If Jin Chupei knew of another thought in her heart one day, would he suddenly become angry?

Sun Jinzi was a little afraid, but at the same time, a little sad.

But she had to go.

It was not that she could not trust Jin Chupei to help her find the antidote, but Sima Yuzhu had already made it clear earlier that the antidote's effects were only effective for an hour. If she did not follow him, Jin Chupei would have been able to find the antidote and successfully bring it back.

Furthermore, she had initially wanted to discuss this with Jin Chupei. However, when she saw Jin Chupei wholeheartedly arrange everything for her, she could not bring herself to open her mouth.

She was afraid … It was hard to say what he was afraid of.

She didn't know if it was the effect of the drug or not, but she would always dream of a place that she had never been to before. She would do things that she would never do in the past.

”Zi Er...” Jin Chupei raised his hand and held Sun Jinzi's hand.

It was ice-cold to the touch.

”Are you cold?” Jin Chupei said as he took off his cape.

It was summer, and his cloak was the same as the silver armor that was seen in the barracks before.

Sun Jinzi's slender body was wrapped up by the black light, causing her to look extremely weak.

Jin Chupei's brows were furrowed, Zi Er's body seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable, it seemed like he would have to bring Sun Jinzi to the Sensory Temple outside the city.

Before he left, if he did not personally verify Sun Jinzi's body, he would definitely not be at ease.

”If Zi Er encounters any difficult matters, feel free to come to Jiang Huaizhong. He will definitely give it his all.”

Jin Chupei had already explained it clearly.

Jiang Huaizhong also heard about his own mission.

He didn't object, but instead felt a little curious and amazed. He had followed Jin Chupei for more than ten years already, but he had never seen his master being so interested in any woman.

The reason for this was not just because of his wife.

Jiang Huaizhong did not even lift his head. All he could see was the light blue dress that Sun Jinzi was wearing and the color that Jin Chupei was wearing.

He couldn't see anything. He didn't know what she looked like nor her current expression, but he was sensitive to her temperament. It was as if she were a serene orchid, noble and elegant, and her temperament was pleasing to the eye.

However, for someone like his master, the wife he found would not be an ordinary person.

When Jiang Huaizhong thought about this, he immediately understood.

What was he thinking so much for? Right and left, this was his master's arrangement. He was saved by his master, and his life was his master's. All he could do was protect the people his master wanted to protect.

”This subordinate will definitely listen to whatever the imperial concubine commands.” After thinking it through, Jiang Huaizhong stood in front of Sun Jinzi, and the expression on his face relaxed quite a bit.

Sun Jinzi faintly nodded her head. She was not flattered nor was she afraid nor did she panic. She only calmly said: ”Thank you, Shopkeeper Jiang.”

She did not call him by his real name, nor did she look down on him.

Jiang Huaizhong did not dare to underestimate Sun Jinzi.

He had been in the restaurant for a long time, and he more or less had his own views on the people and matters within.

Some people, as long as he took a glance, would know what kind of person he was, whether he was someone responsible, a vile person who was afraid of death, a person with a strong character, or a disloyal and unrighteous person.

But at this time, Sun Jinzi was unable to see through her.

But he could feel the strength in her.

She was a woman, and her heart was so strong that it caused his heart to palpitate.

It was unknown what kind of energy supported her, but it was emitting a powerful aura.

However, even if she didn't have this layer, he should still submit, just based on the fact that she was brought here by her master.

After eliminating Jiang Huaizhong, the two of them, accompanied by the strong wind, let him leave. Only then did the two of them hold hands and walk to the window to look outside.

The lanterns outside the window were lit, and the streets were still bustling with noise and excitement.

”This area doesn't have any curfews during the first fifteen days of the year.”

Jin Chupei stood behind Sun Jinzi, lifted his hand and wrapped it around her waist, and pointed to the new moon in the sky and said to her.

”Yeah, it's very lively.” In the past, she was a lady from a noble family and had never stayed outside in such a deep night.

”Do you want to go out for a walk?” Jin Chupei suggested.

”No need.” Sun Jinzi felt that it was a little cold, and maybe, it was time for her to take some medicine.

And today, she didn't anticipate that Jin Chupei would come to pick her up, so she didn't have this dinner. She didn't bring the pills that Divine Doctor Ji Zi specially made for her.

”You're cold.” Jin Chupei's heart trembled, he raised his hand to hug Sun Jinzi tighter, his lips landed on Sun Jinzi's hair, and lightly kissed her, his eyes filled with pity.

”Yes, it's time for me to take some medicine.” Just now, he could feel that Jiang Huaizhong was extremely respectful on the surface and had promised to be of use to her. However, in a place that Jin Chupei did not notice, he had released his aura to investigate her.

She was not convinced, so she forced herself to take a deep breath and release her tenacious aura to suppress him.

”Let's go back.” Jin Chupei originally wanted to take Sun Jinzi for a stroll. He felt that he would soon be leaving the capital, but there were still a lot of things that he wanted to do with Sun Jinzi that he had not done yet.
