Early that morning, Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu packed their bags and prepared to return to Beijing to report. They all gathered in the yard, their eyes filled with reluctance.

When the people of Qizhou City heard that the two were leaving, they lined the streets to see them off.

Some of the older people had tears in their eyes and kept kowtowing to Mu Gu.

In their hearts, it was Mu Gu who led them out of the abyss step by step, and it was Mu Gu who gave them hope to survive, even though Mu Gu came on behalf of the emperor, the emperor did not really come to Qizhou.

Therefore, they were still grateful to Mu Gu in their hearts. Even though Chang Yunfei often mentioned the emperor's grace in front of the people, everyone only recognized Mu Gu.

A group of people escorted Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge out of the city. Looking at the common people following behind them, Xiao Ruge pulled Chang Yunfei aside and whispered a few words to him.

"His Seventh Prince is still only a prince after all. Too much momentum may not be a good thing for him. I believe Lord Chang also knows that if a tree stands out in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind."

At first, Chang Yunfei thought that this was nothing, but after Xiao Ruge’s reminder, he immediately understood the reason.

"Don't worry, Miss Xiao, I will handle this matter and will definitely not cause any trouble to His Majesty the Seventh Prince!"

"That's good!"

Xiao Ruge nodded and came to several senior brothers and sisters, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Sister, Fourth Brother, I'm leaving!"

Yuanying still felt a little reluctant. After all, this was the child she had watched grow up. Emotionally speaking, he was no different from her own children. Now that they had to part, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Take good care of yourself when you get back. When we're done here, maybe we'll go to the capital to see you!"

"Then I will wait for my brothers and sisters to arrive in the capital. It would be best if Master could come too!"

The master's wife seldom goes down the mountain because of her poor legs and feet, but it's different for the master, who is already at the foot of the mountain. This time it's because they couldn't get in touch with him, otherwise Xiao Ruge would have gone to see the master long ago.

"Okay, I'll tell Master then!"

Yuan Ying reached out and touched Xiao Ruge's little face, but was reluctant to hug her.

"After sending you a thousand miles, we must finally say goodbye. Please stay, let's say goodbye for now!"

Mu Gu bowed to everyone, and then bowed to the people who were seeing him off at the city gate. Then he pulled Xiao Ruge into the carriage and drove away with them.

……

Because the weather is warm and sometimes the sun is strong, it will melt the snow on the road, and occasionally when a carriage passes by, it will stir up a puddle of mud.

Today happened to be a sunny day, and a team of cavalry escorted a carriage, galloping from a distance.

In the carriage, Xiao Ruge frowned and stroked the forehead of Mu Gu, who was resting his head on her legs. It was still very hot to the touch.

Who would have thought that this guy didn't get sick when it was so cold in Qizhou, but instead fell ill after he left when the weather became warmer.

When Xiao Ruge woke up this morning, she heard that his voice was not right. After asking, she found out that his throat was not feeling well last night.

As a result, not long after the carriage set off, Mu Gu developed a high fever. The fever came on so violently that Mu Gu became delirious in a short while.

After all, they were on the road now. The medicine Xiao Ruge had prepared had almost been used up in Qizhou. There was really no good medicine that could cure Mu Gu at the moment. He could only find some simple medicine for him to take, but there was still no improvement.

Xiao Ruge could only let him sleep for a while with his head resting on her legs, and then get him medicine when they reached the next town.

The road was not easy to travel on. If the carriage went too fast, it would be very bumpy, so they didn't dare to go too fast. However, Mu Gu still felt uncomfortable and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Suddenly, the carriage ran over a rock and there was a violent jolt, and Mu Gu woke up all of a sudden.

"Would you like some water?"

Seeing him sitting up with his head supported, Xiao Ruge took the water bag and asked softly.

"Ruge, I have a headache and feel a little nauseous. Please ask them to run slower."

"Okay, drink some water first."

After opening the water bag and handing it to Mu Gu, Xiao Ruge shouted to Mo Yi to walk slower so that the carriage would be less bumpy.

Seeing that Mu Gu had finished drinking the water, Xiao Ruge asked him quietly, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Mu Gu nodded and rested his head on Xiao Ruge's legs again, but he did not close his eyes. Instead, he just kept his eyes open and looked at her without blinking.

At first Xiao Ruge didn't notice it. It was only after she unconsciously touched Mu Gu's forehead again that she saw that this man was staring at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"

She reached out and touched it, but there was nothing.

Mu Gu shook his head. Although he still felt uncomfortable, he still managed a weak smile.

"Ruge, you are so beautiful!"

His black and white eyes widened slightly because of these words, then his eyebrows curved and he stretched out a finger and gently poked Mu Gu's forehead.

"You're sick, but you still keep saying sweet things. Are you confused by the fever?"

"I'm not confused, I'm speaking from the heart."

Mu Gu reached out and grabbed Xiao Ruge's finger, put it to his lips and bit it gently. His eyes were full of tenderness and affection for Xiao Ruge, like a bottomless pool, attracting the person in front of him.

"Sleep a little longer. We will reach Yunyang City in half an hour. We will rest there for a few days and then set off again after you recover."

After hearing this, Mu Gu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just nodded and closed his eyes.

He actually wanted to ask Xiao Ruge to kiss him, but then he thought about catching a cold, and it would be bad if he passed the disease on to Xiao Ruge, so he didn't say anything after thinking about it.

As the carriage swayed, Mu Gu fell asleep again. When he was woken up by Xiao Ruge, they had already arrived in Yunyang City.

Having just been woken up and still a little dazed, Mu Gu only heard the noisy noise coming from outside, which made his head hurt even more.

He couldn't help rubbing his forehead and followed Xiao Ruge out of the carriage.

When I stood on the ground with my feet, it felt like I was stepping on a ball of cotton. My head was heavy and my body was light as a feather. I couldn't help but sway a little.

Xiao Ruge was standing on him, and when she saw him, she quickly supported him, "Are you dizzy?"

Mu Gu nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Maybe he slept for too long."

As soon as he opened his mouth, both of them were shocked. His voice wasn't so hoarse before, so how come it became so serious after a good night's sleep?

"Your Highness, the room has been booked!"

Mo Qi walked out of the inn at this time, and was very worried when he saw Mu Gu’s pale face.

Xiao Ruge hurriedly helped him to the room to rest. After having someone bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she sat down and wrote a prescription and asked Bai Yang to get the medicine.

"Also tell the cook to make some minced meat porridge and three or two side dishes."

This is prepared for Mu Gu. Since he is sick, his appetite must be poor and his stomach is weak, so make some food that is easy to digest so that he won’t feel uncomfortable when eating.
