Chapter 7 Arrival in the Capital Ji Yunxie gently lifted the carriage curtain and glanced out the window. She asked anxiously, "Where are we going?" Di Ran glanced at the mountains and rivers outside the window and uttered two words lightly. "Capital." Ji Yunxie was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something and a look of confusion flashed across his eyes. "How come I am..." here? Didn't he encounter bandits on his way back to Beijing, and then... Then what happened? Oh, he seemed to have fainted due to an illness. What happened next? Ji Yunxie looked up at Di Ran, only to find that she was also looking at him. An idea suddenly came to his mind and he looked at Di Ran with a gleam in his eyes and a low voice filled with uncertainty. "You saved me?"
"Ah." Di Ran did not deny it and admitted it directly. "Thank...Thank you." Ji Yunxie seemed to have remembered something and became a little nervous. "Oh, my page..." Di Ran glanced at him, his indifferent voice carrying a hint of displeasure. "Don't worry, he's in the carriage behind you." Ji Yunxie did not notice the unpleasantness in Di Ran's words. He was relieved to hear that Liang An was fine. There was a bit more gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Di Ran, and the frustration he had felt from being flirted with earlier also disappeared. "I don't know your name, or where you live. When I get home, I'll ask my mother to bring gifts and visit you to express my gratitude." Di Ran's light voice came: "Just like that?" Ji Yunxie was confused, no...what else? "I…" He was about to say something when the woman in front of him interrupted him. "Di Ran." "Wha...what?" Ji Yunxie was stunned, not knowing what was going on. Di Ran stared at him with deep and cold eyes, "My name is Di Ran." Ji Yunxie's heart skipped a beat when he was stared at by those focused eyes.
Di Ran looked at him and said indifferently. "As for thanking me, there's no need. Your business is my business. If you have any difficulties, you can find me at the third floor on the left of Tianfu Street." As she spoke, Ji Yunxie saw her take out a jade pendant that was completely emerald green from her waist. The jade pendant was extraordinary at first glance. "This is for you. When the guard sees this jade pendant, he will let you in." Ji Yunxie stared blankly at the jade pendant she handed over. Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Di Ran frowned slightly, pulled his hand and put the thing in his hand. The coolness in his hand brought Ji Yunxie back to his senses. He raised his head slightly and looked into God's deep eyes. He couldn't understand the complicated look in her eyes, but he felt his heart beat faster for some reason after just one look. She lowered her eyes and dared not look directly at him. Her hand holding the jade pendant under her sleeve tightened slightly. She stared at the pendant with her thin lips slightly pursed. …… The Eastern Zhou imperial city was bustling with traffic and a prosperous scene. Because the female guards accompanying them all carried swords, unlike an ordinary caravan. For fear of spies sneaking in, the carriage was stopped when passing the city gate. "who?" The city guards stopped the team, and passers-by occasionally took a look. Bai Qi rode forward and took out a black jade token. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty's travel order stated that all states and prefectures within the country could travel freely, and no one who saw the order could stop them. The pass is hard to come by and is controlled by the empress. Very few people in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty possess it. The guards guarding the city changed color when they heard the order and respectfully made way. "My lord please!" Bai Qi put away the token and allowed the group to enter the city smoothly. The carriage stopped under a big willow tree. "Just right here." Liang An had gotten off the carriage early. He was very happy to hear that his young master had woken up. He ran over to support him, but was stopped by Mo Yan. I could only watch helplessly as the female guard brought in a wheelchair. Then he saw his young master being carried down from the carriage by that woman. Liang An: “…” The open carriage revealed Di Ran's figure. Liang An had no feelings towards this guy who had bad intentions towards his young master, and pulled Ji Yunxie's sleeve.
This action made Di Ran narrow his eyes slightly, and he glanced at Liang An with a cold and gloomy gaze, scaring him so much that he quickly let go of his hand. (End of this chapter)
