Chapter 145 - What about Feng Qingbai

The number of people outside lessened, and they could breathe easily.

It was still early in the day, and it would be more than two hours until the convention concluded up. However, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce dragged Qian Wanjin away and hasn't returned yet.

"If you have something to do, go back first. Aunt Hong and I will find a place to sit and wait for them in passing."

"Let's go together. I have enough carriage space for four people. Let Auntie Hong go over to the stall and leave a carriage for them," Feng Qingbai said.

Without waiting for Liu Yusheng's instruction, Wei Hong already turned around and headed towards the venue.

Liu Yusheng had no choice but to nod her head.

She had the habit of taking a nap. If she didn't rest when the hour passed, she would be so sleepy and would be teary and keep yawning.

The man seemed to have noticed her drowsiness and let the three of them get into the carriage first.

Sitting in the carriage against the wall of the embroidered carriage, Liu Yusheng felt much more comfortable, and she sighed, "Your carriage is quite well-decorated."

It was spacious and the cushions were wider, so you could lie down whenever sleepy. On one side of the carriage was a small low table attached to the wall, and in the cabinet were some dried fruits and snacks, and even novels and travel journals to pass the time.

This kind of wagon wouldn't make anyone too tired for long journeys.

"Do you like medicine?" While she was immersed in marveling at the luxury of the carriage, she heard the man suddenly ask.

Liu Yusheng nodded. She adjusted her posture to lean more comfortably. "I like it very much. It's kind of my hobby. Just like some people who like to sing and ride horses; I like medicine."

"Besides refining medicine, what else do you usually do at home?"

"I also give people medical attention. When I have free time, I go with my grandfather to the village to find someone to chat, massage my grandmother, go with my father to the field to watch the seedlings, and help my mother dry our clothes…"

Liu Yusheng didn't know if he said anything else later, but she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and the sounds around her getting farther and farther away.

Her body slid down a little spontaneously and she fell asleep.

"…" Mo Feng stared at the girl leaning against the carriage wall in disbelief.

She was still talking, but she fell asleep just like that? Didn't she have any common sense about safety and security?

If this was the case, anyone could abduct and sell her. What did his uncle see in her?

Before finishing the slander, I saw something blossoming in front of his eyes. His imperial uncle, who was sitting right by his side just now, has reached the young woman.

He held the girl's head against the hard wall of the carriage with his hand, and slowly lay her flat on the carriage seat.

"Turn around," a wintry whispery voice said.

Mo Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned around to face away from the carriage.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, do no evil.

He could recite what he copied more than forty times yesterday, and he would never commit such blunder ever again!

Focusing on the girl's slumbering face, Feng Qingbai's lips curled up, smiling astringently and sweetly.

She still trusted him so much. No matter if he was Axiu or Feng Qingbai, she was subconsciously totally defenseless against him.

That was why she answered all his questions, regardless of how trivial it was; that was why she fell asleep like this.

The more she did so, the more he was reluctant to let her go.

When Wei Hong came back, what she saw was the distinguished man sitting directly on the carriage deck, his long arm across the carriage seat, protecting the sleeping woman from falling down when she turned over.

This posture was too difficult for a long time, especially since her master was very tall and he had nowhere to let his legs rest.

However, this was too intimate. If Nannan turned around, wouldn't that be the same as sending tofu to her master's mouth and feeding him?

Should she wake up her lady? Or just pretend to turn a blind eye on it?

Wei Hong hesitated for a moment, and decided to remain loyal to her master. The Liu family treated her very well, but as the number one loyal hidden guard, she couldn't easily defect.

So she decided to sit down as if she hadn't seen anything. Copying the little emperor, she faced away from the carriage, and continued to be an invisible man.

The carriage moved steadily, and they barely felt the bumps in the carriage.

The young woman didn't wake up, and continued sleeping soundly.

She remained sleeping soundly until the carriage shook violently, and she rolled into a warm, safe embrace in her sleep.

The sound of something piercing through the air and nailing the carriage penetrated her ears: Dun-dun-dun.

Liu Yusheng woke up at once.

She saw the man's taut jaw and then felt his strong arm around her.

"What's going on…"

"Wei Hong, take care of her." The man bowed his head and looked deeply at her, so briefly that she didn't have time to process the complex emotions rolling in his eyes. Then he immediately handed her over to Wei Hong. "Take her back to the small courtyard with Mo Feng, where it's heavily guarded and has reinforcements."

"Yes!" as Wei Hong responded, the man flew away from the carriage.

The carriage was still galloping, but behind it came the sound of cold soldiers approaching, and then getting further and further away.

"What the hell happened?" Liu Yusheng felt panicked and heavy in her heart. Why did she take a nap and wake up like this?

Why did the driver coachman disappear, and the one holding the reins became Wei Hong? There were also Feng Qingbai's inexplicable words, and strange noises outside. She suddenly felt cold.

"There are assassins attacking. Don't be afraid. I will protect you." Wei Hong clasped the soft sword at her waist with one hand. Her eyes were solemn, and she listened to the surrounding noise with her ears pricked up.

This was the first time Liu Yusheng has seen the battle intent floating out of Wei Hong's figure, making her entire demeanor seven points colder. It turned out that her usual expressionless appearance in front of them wasn't cold at all.

But wait, assassins? Assassination?

"Then, what about Feng Qingbai?" Liu Yusheng blanched at the thought of it. Where was Feng Qingbai?

They fled with the carriage. What about Feng Qingbai?

Was he going to fight the assassins alone? Distract the assassins so they could escape?

Wei Hong pursed her lips and wanted to tell her that the king had hidden guards by his side and that they would come to his aid.

But Nannan was with her. Would the King really keep the hidden guards with him? He probably sent all the guards to protect them.

So, she had nothing to say.

"Go back!"

Wei Hong turned back in surprise. Although the girl's face was still ashen-white, her eyes were firm and brooked no room for arguments.

"Go back, Auntie Hong. Go and help him, I won't drag you back," after a pause, she said, "I have a way."

"But…" Master asked her to escort her and the little emperor back to the small courtyard.

"Go back and listen to her," Mo Feng, who hadn't spoken, said, " There was no fear on his childish face, but rather calmness.

Wei Hong gritted her teeth, and without much hesitation turned the carriage around and sped back. "Nannan, tell me what your tricks are in advance, so there would be no mistake!" Master would skin her alive.

She wasn't afraid of death, just the pain.

"I have medicine!" After the initial violent shock, Liu Yusheng forced herself to calm down in the shortest possible time. She was still flustered, and her hands were shaking, but her mind became perfectly clear.

In her previous life, she lived in a modern society and didn't experience the assassinations and killing scenes on TV, which made her panic at first.
