Warm medicine emits fragrance

Yan Qi only rested in this city for two days before leading his army north on the third day.

With the last line of defense breached, the emperor in the palace, seeing that all was lost, fled with his few remaining followers three days before Yan Qi arrived in the capital.

Now, Kyoto became a city without an owner, awaiting the arrival of a new master.

Yan Qi had anticipated that the person would run away, so he had already sent Qi Weiming with a team to wait for the person on the inevitable escape route.

On the day Yan Qi stepped into the capital, Qi Weiming also brought news of that person's murder.

Fan Liuer's hometown wasn't far from Kyoto, but she had never been to Kyoto before. When the carriage entered the city, her eyes were glued to the window.

Li Chenbi used the excuse of recuperating from his injuries to travel by carriage the whole way, and Fan Liuer naturally rode with him. Anyway, their reputations were already ruined in the military camp, so Fan Liuer couldn't be bothered to care.

"So this is Kyoto." Fan Liuer exclaimed, looking at the scenery on the street outside.

Li Chenbi, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and glanced out the car window upon hearing this, his tone laced with disdain, "The capital city can't compare to the prosperity of Xingzhou."

Fan Liuer turned to look at him, somewhat surprised, "You've been to Kyoto before?"

"I'm tired of it all."

As soon as Fan Liuer finished speaking, she realized that she had asked a pointless question. The Li family's business was spread throughout the entire Da Yan, so how could he not have been to the capital?

What's more, his older sister, Li Chenshu, had married and moved to the capital.

Thinking of this name, Fan Liuer couldn't help but wonder what had become of the former concubine of Prince Rong.

She had never heard Li Chenbi talk about his older sister, nor had she ever seen him worry about her life or death.

Even the old lady and Li Yuhe had never mentioned this person.

Could it be that Princess Rong's relationship with the Li family is not good?

But that doesn't make sense. If it wasn't good, how did Li Chenxing manage to get involved with Prince Rong in the first place?

Fan Liuer was curious, but fearing it might involve some painful family matter of the Li family, she didn't ask and suppressed her curiosity.

Turning back to look at the street scene outside, Fan Liuer found it uninteresting after the initial novelty wore off.

Although Kyoto was the capital of several dynasties, it could not compare to Xingzhou, which had well-developed water conservancy, in terms of prosperity.

She looked away and sat up straight.

Li Chenbi glanced at her and laughed, "Is it boring now?"

Fan Liuer nodded honestly, "It was a bit novel at first, but after looking around, it seemed just so-so, not as interesting as Xingzhou City."

"There are fun places around here, but they're not in the city. There's a royal hunting ground outside the city; I'll take you there when I have some free time in a few days."

"I can't ride a horse."

"I'll teach you," Li Chenbi said with a smile in his eyes, "I'll teach you personally."

Fan Liuer instinctively felt that Li Chenbi's thoughts and words were not the same, so she rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

Although Kyoto was not as prosperous as Xingzhou, it was much larger. The carriage followed the main group for a long time.

Having finally stopped, Fan Liuer thought they had arrived and was about to ask Li Chenbi a question when Li Chenbi spoke first, "I'm going to the palace and won't be coming out for the next couple of days. I've arranged accommodations for you. You stay here and wait for me obediently. Don't go out unless necessary, understand?"

Fan Liuer may not be so obedient in other areas, but when it comes to her own safety, she is more honest than anyone else.

Li Chenbi never restricted her from going out. If he specifically told her not to go out, it meant that it must be unsafe for her to go out.

She immediately nodded, "Okay."

Li Chenbi hugged her and kissed her, then got up and got out of the car.

After he got out of the carriage, Chuixue got into the carriage to accompany Fan Liuer. Soon the carriage set off again, turning around and heading in another direction.

The carriage stopped again after a short while, and Li Qiuping's voice rang out from outside, "Madam, we've arrived."

Chuixue opened the car door and got out first, then went to help Fan Liuer.

After getting out of the carriage, Fan Liuer looked at the magnificent mansion gate in front of her and her eyes widened slightly.

She never expected that the place Li Chenbi arranged for her to stay would be the Rong Prince's Mansion.

Prince Rong has been in trouble for a long time, so this place should be an empty mansion. Could it be that Li Chenbi asked Yan Qi for it?

Or is it...?

Just as Fan Liuer had a guess in her mind, a figure walked out from the open gate of the mansion.

Fan Liuer recognized the person in front of her just by looking at his face, which bore a six or seven-point resemblance to Li Chenbi's.

Fan Liuer stared in disbelief at the woman before her, a woman whose beauty could only be described as stunning.

She could imagine that Li Chenshu was a beauty. If she wasn't beautiful enough, how could she, a merchant's daughter, have married a prince and been given the position of a concubine?

But I never expected it to be this beautiful.

"Why are you being so silly?" A soft, charming voice brought Fan Liuer back to her senses. She immediately bowed her head and greeted Li Chenshu.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Li Chenshu chuckled lightly, "The Great Yan Dynasty is finished, so what concubine is there to speak of? You are Shen Bi's betrothed, so call me elder sister."

Fan Liuer immediately changed her address, "Greetings, elder sister."

A look of satisfaction flashed in Li Chenshu's eyes. "She's quite well-behaved, but this outfit is really a bit..." Before she could finish, she beckoned to Fan Liuer. "Let's go, come with me into the manor."

Fan Liuer blushed slightly as she thought about her current appearance and obediently walked to her side. For some reason, although Li Chenshu's tone and attitude were very amiable, there was an inexplicable sense of pressure about her, which made Fan Liuer a little nervous.

I was even more nervous than when I met the old lady.

"Don't be nervous, I'm the easiest person to get along with," Li Chenshu said with a smile, noticing her nervousness.

Fan Liuer immediately nodded, "I'm not nervous."

Li Chenshu found it amusing and said, "Just make yourself at home, don't be shy. There aren't many servants in the manor right now, so the service might not be perfect. It's probably not a good time to buy more servants right now. We'll wait until things stabilize a bit in a few days before we go and pick out a new batch."

"You like sweets, right? Chen Bi specifically reminded me in the letter that I was worried you might not be used to living in the capital at first, so I prepared some of your favorite foods to ease your mood."

After saying that, she clicked her tongue and said, "I never thought this kid would have such a day." She patted Fan Liuer and covered her lips with a seductive smile.

"You're quite something, managing to tame this little devil."

Fan Liuer was stunned again.

How can someone be so beautiful? Every smile and frown is dazzlingly beautiful, and when they smile, their eyebrows and eyes seem to have hooks.

Fan Liuer was led to the room by Li Chenshu in a daze.

"You must be tired from your journey. I've had hot water and food prepared. Take a hot bath, have a good meal, and then get a good night's sleep. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

After settling Fan Liuer in, Li Chenshu left without disturbing Fan Liuer's rest any longer.

It wasn't until the person had walked quite a distance that Fan Liuer finally spoke up with a sigh.

"So beautiful."

Fubuki nodded. "Madam, my great-aunt seems to be a demon with soul-capturing magic. She's about to steal my soul."
