Warm medicine emits fragrance

A few days later, the day arrived for the army to set off north.

Fan Liuer already knew about this the night before and was so nervous that she couldn't sleep all night and woke up before dawn.

He propped himself up and sat up, looking at Fan Liuer who was sitting at the table with her back to him, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Fan Liuer turned around, holding the jade seal in her hands.

"I'm thinking, this place is different from home, so where would be the safest place to hide this thing?"

Li Chenbi fell back onto the bed, somewhat helplessly, "As long as you don't say anything, no one will know what you're hiding. You don't need to be so careful."

Fan Liuer disagreed with him and sat down on the edge of the bed with the jade seal in her hands. "Even if others don't know, I still have to keep it safe. What if I lose it?"

Li Chenbi turned to face her, reached out and pinched the hem of her dress, hooking it between his fingertips. It was still dark outside, and there was still plenty of time before he had to get up. He was still a little sleepy and said lazily, "If you lose it, you lose it. If you want a noble status, then I'll work hard and earn you a title of Lady of the Imperial Decree."

Fan Liuer was no longer thinking about using the jade seal to exchange for some prestigious status.

She used to think Li Chenbi was very capable, able to do everything with ease. Even knowing that he had been framed and hunted before, she still felt that everything was in his hands and that he could always break through.

But this time she was genuinely frightened. Even though this was part of Li Chenbi's scheme, she couldn't help but wonder what she would do if she encountered a real one next time.

Although Ni Hai has been eliminated, there is still a young master who is eyeing him covetously.

Even if the eldest son is no match for him, there is still General Yan.

It is said that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; who knows if he will turn his back on you after becoming emperor?

"This is a life-saving guarantee." Fan Liuer stood up, holding the imperial seal, walked to the trunk where clothes were kept, wrapped the imperial seal in Li Chenbi's socks, and stuffed it into a pile of shoes and socks.

Even if someone came to steal something, they would never imagine that a huge treasure was hidden among a pile of shoes and socks.

Hearing Fan Liuer's words, Li Chenbi felt a little more awake and turned to look at her back.

"Then you'd better hide well. You know I've made too many enemies, and I might lose my life one day."

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Fan Liuer turned around and glared at him. "Don't talk nonsense."

Li Chenbi withdrew his gaze, lay down, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.

The corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

After breakfast, Li Chenbi took Fan Liuer out.

The carriages and horses were waiting outside the gate, as they were to first go to the military camp outside the city to join the main army.

Traveling with the army is not as comfortable as going out on your own. Those with some status ride horses, while the rest have to walk.

Li Chenbi naturally wouldn't let Fan Liuer ride a horse, so he assigned her the task of watching the luggage and had her sit in the luggage-carrying carriage.

No one paid attention to this action. Every time Li Chenbi traveled, he would send someone to guard his luggage. In addition to a change of clothes, his several large boxes also contained the medicine he had to drink every day.

Apart from the few people who served him, only Qi Weiming and General Yan in the entire rebel army knew that he needed to take medicine every day.

Others thought he was extravagant and particular, and that those large boxes were filled with his daily necessities.

However, since General Yan had given him special permission, no one else dared to say anything.

Fan Liuer and Chuixue sat on either side of the carriage, driven by Li Chenbi's men. They didn't need to hold back their conversations and chatted and laughed all the way to the military camp.

The army was already waiting, just waiting for General Yan and his party to arrive.

Li Chenbi would accompany Yan Qi at the front of the army, while Fan Liuer would follow the carriage to the rear of the main force.

As they approached the main force, Fan Liuer dared not speak and lowered her head.

She felt guilty, afraid that others would find out she was a woman.

Everyone's attention was on Yan Qi and Li Chenbi, and no one paid attention to her, the servant who was escorting the luggage. Soon she was put into the back of the line.

Before setting off, Yan Qi would give a speech to boost morale, and only after everything was over could they officially begin their journey.

After Yan Qi finished speaking, Li Chenbi and his group followed Yan Qi toward the horses.

Li Qiuping, who was following behind Li Chenbi, bumped into him without realizing it after only a few steps.

The impact was quite severe; Li Chenbi lost his balance and crashed into Yan Qi's shoulder.

"I deserve to die, please forgive me, General!" Li Qiuping immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Yan Qi patted Li Qiuping on the shoulder and looked at him. Before he could speak, Li Chenbi said in a dark tone, "He really deserves to die. He's so impulsive. It seems he didn't suffer enough last time."

"It's nothing, just a bump," Yan Qi said, then turned to Li Qiuping and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, General." Li Qiuping stood up and stood to the side with his head down.

"Without rules, there can be no order. If we indulge them too much, they will make even bigger mistakes in the future." After saying that, Li Chenbi said to Li Qiuping, "From today onwards, you will go to the back to escort the luggage. You can come back when you have changed your rash and impetuous behavior."

Li Qiuping immediately looked up at Li Chenbi, her face showing reluctance, "Master..."

Li Chenbi glanced at him coldly.

Li Qiuping immediately lowered his head and whispered, "Yes, I'll go right away." After saying that, he retreated very reluctantly.

Seeing this, Yan Qi said to Li Chenbi, "Guard Li is loyal to you, so don't be too harsh on him."

Li Chenbi looked at Yan Qi and said, "General, you may not know this, but he has been impetuous since childhood. If he is not disciplined, he will not amount to anything in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qi said nothing more, and the two mounted the horses in front.

Only Qi Weiming glanced at Li Chenbi and sensed that something was amiss.

He knew very well how much Li Chenbi valued Li Qiuping, and that Li Qiuping, though seemingly young, was by no means impulsive and would never make such a mistake.

They must be up to some wicked scheme again.

He turned his head and looked back in the direction of Li Qiuping's figure.

"What are you looking at?" Yanqiu, who was beside him, also looked at the same thing.

Qi Weiming withdrew his gaze, then, as if remembering something, asked Yan Qiu, "Are you sure Li Chenbi sent Liu... his wife back to Xingzhou?"

Yan Qiu blinked and coughed lightly. "Yes, he told me himself, so it can't be false, right?"

Qi Weiming stared at Yan Qiu's face, making Yan Qiu uncomfortable, and he looked away.

This made Qi Weiming feel even more uneasy.

Fan Liuer hadn't raised her head since she joined the group. All around her were wagons carrying baggage and provisions, with several soldiers standing next to each wagon.

Including the car next to them.

Just as she was feeling uneasy, Fubuki nudged her, "Guard Li is here."

Fan Liuer looked up and, sure enough, saw a smiling face.

Li Qiuping waved to the man driving the horse, who then made way for him. After Li Qiuping jumped up and sat down, he turned to Fan Liuer and said, "Master was worried that you might feel uncomfortable, so he specially sent me to keep you company."
