Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer opened Li Chenbi's letters according to the date and read them from beginning to end.

When Li Chenbi sent his first letter, he had just arrived at the military camp. In it, he wrote that there was a large river near the camp, with a rapid current that could be heard from a great distance.

Fan Liuer only knew the general location of the battlefield, not the exact location. She opened the map of the Great Yan Dynasty that she had found in Li Chenbi's study and looked for the area near the river in that location.

Then she searched through Li Chenbi's letters. After determining the approximate location of the general's camp, she put all the letters back and carefully stored them away.

It wasn't too late yet, and Fan Liuer knew she should rest. She hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, and she had to travel again tomorrow.

But I can't sleep. I feel uneasy, and my mind is full of good and bad thoughts.

As she was thinking, she suddenly sat up.

Originally, she wanted to keep it from the old lady, fearing that the old lady would not be able to bear it if she found out, but now she thought about it carefully and felt that it was not appropriate.

If Li Chenbi fails to clear her name and she fails to use the imperial seal to save Li Chenbi's life, then the entire Li family will suffer.

If the old lady and Li Yuhe were unaware of the situation by then, they probably wouldn't even have time to run away.

She had to tell them to be prepared and to run if she didn't return.

Thinking of this, she couldn't wait until the next day and immediately went to the west courtyard.

Just then, the old lady lay down and heard that Fan Liuer was requesting an audience, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

"Let her in."

Fan Liuer hurried into the room. The old lady had just sat up from the bed when Fan Liuer immediately went up to her and sat down beside her, taking her hand.

"I have something very important to tell you. Please don't rush or panic after you hear it, okay?"

The old lady looked at Fan Liuer, paused for a moment, and then said, "Is it about Chen Bi?"

Fan Liuer was slightly surprised. "You knew?"

The old lady shook her head. "I don't know, but Shen Bi leaving at such a critical juncture, with the wedding date approaching, is definitely not for the reason you told me."

She sighed as she spoke, "I know you're worried I won't be able to handle it, so I didn't ask any more questions."

"Did Chen Bi go to the battlefield? What's his situation now? Is he injured?"

Fan Liuer pursed her lips. "No, he was framed and imprisoned."

The old lady's reaction was much calmer than Fan Liuer had expected. "She hasn't been convicted yet, has she?"

"Yes, it's still under investigation."

"In that case, there's no need to panic. Shen Bi wouldn't do such a thing; he must have a way to escape."

Fan Liuer wasn't as open-minded as the old lady; she couldn't rest easy until she received a letter from Li Chenbi confirming her safety.

But she didn't dare voice her suspicions and make the old lady worry along with her.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm worried. I want to go to the military camp."

The old woman's face changed drastically; she was shocked. "What are you going to the military camp for? You're a woman, you know nothing, what can you possibly do there?"

Fan Liuer leaned close to the old lady and told her about the chips she had.

Upon hearing this, the old lady's face showed even greater surprise. She was first astonished, then fell into deep thought.

She was worried about Fan Liuer, a woman, going to the military camp alone, but that was only because Fan Liuer had no leverage to save Li Chenbi.

Now that Fan Liuer holds such leverage, as a mother, she is still worried about her child.

Seeing that the old lady remained silent, Fan Liuer knew that she would not object anymore, so she quickly added, "Don't worry, I'm not going alone. I'm taking Feng Ji with me. With him protecting me, nothing will happen on the way."

"I also believe that with Li Chenbi's abilities, he will definitely find a way to clear his name, but we must always prepare for the worst. If I don't make it back this time, you..."

Fan Liuer paused, looked at the old lady, and said in a more serious tone, "You and Yuhe should hide quickly. I have already arranged a place for you, and someone will come to pick you up later."

Hearing this, the old lady's eyes reddened. She was worried about Fan Liuer going alone, but she also hoped that Li Chenbi could have a better chance of survival.

After weighing the two options, she took Fan Liuer's hand and patted it.

Fan Liuer grasped the old lady's hand in return, "Don't worry."

Although she had spoken to the old lady, Fan Liuer still planned to have the old lady take Li Yuhe out of the city to Hong'an Temple to offer incense. She wanted to leave the city before the news of Li Chenbi's arrest spread, otherwise she was afraid she wouldn't be able to leave later.

The old lady stopped sleeping and got up to pack her luggage.

Bring as much valuable stuff as possible; if she doesn't come back, these will be her and Li Yuhe's only means of survival in the future.

It was another sleepless night. Fan Liuer stayed with the old lady until dawn. After breakfast, Feng Ji arrived, and a large entourage of carriages set off.

Fan Liuer sat in the carriage with the old lady and Li Yuhe. Li Yuhe was unaware of what was happening and asked the old lady curiously.

"Grandmother, why did you suddenly decide to go burn incense? Didn't you say the other day that it's too cold now and we should wait until spring?"

"I dreamt of immortals last night, so I thought I'd go and pay my respects," the old lady replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuhe did not ask any further questions.

Soon the convoy arrived at the city gate, and the guards immediately let it pass when they saw that it was the Li family's convoy.

From the moment they approached the city gate, Fan Liu'er's heart was in her throat. She was worried that the Li family had been targeted by the group that framed Li Chenbi, and that they wouldn't be able to get out.

She only relaxed after the vehicle drove out of the city gate.

The vehicle continued forward and stopped at the foot of Hong'an Temple.

Fan Liuer bid farewell to the old lady, "I'm off."

The old lady's face was grave. "Go."

Li Yuhe asked in surprise, "Auntie, where are you going?"

The old lady answered for Fan Liuer, "She went to do something for me."

Li Yuhe: "What's wrong?"

Fan Liuer patted her head, "Why are you asking so many questions, you little kid?"

After saying that, she lifted her skirt, got up, and climbed out of the carriage.

Li Yuhe wanted to go out with her, but the old lady stopped her, saying, "You stay and accompany me to offer incense."

Li Yuhe was curious, but obedient, and stayed by the old lady's side, constantly asking, "Grandmother, what did you ask Aunt to do?"

Fan Liuer got off the carriage and walked to the back of the caravan. At the very back was Feng Ji's carriage, which was much smaller and could only accommodate one or two people, pulled by two horses.

Fan Liuer couldn't ride a horse, so she could only ride in a carriage.

Feng Ji and a coachman were sitting in the carriage. When they saw her, they immediately got off the carriage. Fan Liuer did not exchange many pleasantries with Feng Ji, but lifted her skirt and got into the carriage.

After she got into the carriage, Feng Ji sat up in front of the carriage, and the coachman quickly got in, tightened the reins, and turned the carriage around. The next second, he whipped the horse and the carriage drove off.

Inside the prison in Qianzhou City, Li Chenbi sat in his cell, while outside the bars stood an arrogant young man.

He looked at Li Chenbi with a mocking gaze.

"Li Chenbi, I told you long ago that you can only stand on my side."
