It should not be something which was happening at Xinlin Gate, where she had just arrived. She did not hear any chaos outside while she was here.

So… maybe something was happening in the capital?

Gu Chaoyan was totally awake now.

Sword One glanced about cautiously and said with a small voice, “Elder Miss, something happened in the capital!”

“…”

“A wagon was bringing Princess Consort Yan home and it was going to arrive tonight, but something happened to the Princess Consort. She had a stomach ache on the way, so when she came to the capital the doctor said that she was not in a good condition. So they asked the imperial doctor from the court to check her up, but the imperial doctor can do nothing about it. Lord Yan is going crazy, and is looking for a doctor now.”

“…”

“That is Lord Yan’s first child so Lord Yan is paying a lot of attention to it. He just can’t accept that the child might not be able to be kept.”

“…”

“Some servants from Lord Yan’s Mansion said that you are a very skilled doctor so you have been requested by Lord Yan to check her out. You told the Min Family in the daytime that you were not feeling well, but Lord Yan’s men are there, so Fu Bao passed on the message, asking you to return to the capital. We should not spread the news that you are not in the capital. If you can make it, you may be able to check out Princess Consort Yan’s child.”

“…”

“Elder Miss, what about us heading back to the capital? The wagon is ready. We have a thick blanket inside so you can have a rest in the wagon. We will arrive in the capital at dawn, then we can go to Lord Yan’s Mansion directly. Then the whole situation will be sorted out,” Sword One said cautiously.

Elder Miss was engaged with Lord Huai and she was under serious watch. No mistakes could be made.

Otherwise Sword One would not have been so cautious.

Gu Chaoyan nodded and looked outside. It was a quiet night.

She had to check on Lord Yan’s child, so she got up quickly and headed outside with Sword One.

This child was definitely going to have a very bumpy life.

She was absent tonight when this child ran into a problem, so she was worried that she would be too late for the child.

Bingzhou was not that close.

If she could just get there in time, she might be able to save that child.

Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh.

It was warm and cozy in the wagon, and Sword One even prepared a hand warmer for Gu Chaoyan, who had lost her tiredness.

Huaijin reminded her that this child would not be able to be kept when coming to the capital. And that was exactly what had happened.

She wondered what had gone wrong.

Lord Yan had been living a terrible life at the border, and he did not want his wife and child to have a bad life there. However, what he did not understand was that the border was a very steady and safe place for his family, because the capital was a place filled with all kinds of monsters and evils.

He had no ability to keep himself safe while he was at the border, so what more could he do when he was in the capital.

Gu Chaoyan felt very emotional, but despite her emotions, they came to the gate, which was opened.

Their wagon was let in.

The moment they entered the capital, Zhou Huaijin’s wagon appeared right in front of her.
