Xiao Ruo changed into men's clothing and rode out of Anhe City alone. As soon as she left the city, she heard the sound of horse hooves behind her, getting closer and closer.
Xiao Ruo turned back to look, and it was none other than Leng Xiangshan and Xia Yu.
Xiao Ruo reined in her horse and stopped, waiting for the two to approach.
"Mr. Leng, Xia Yu," Xiao Ruo asked with a smile, "Are you also going to see Xiangxiang?"
Xiao Ruo knew Leng Xiangshan was knowledgeable in medicine. Since Xiangxiang was his only apprentice, it was normal for him to be concerned about the smallpox situation.
Unexpectedly, Leng Xiangshan replied, "It was Lord Fu who instructed us to escort you to Xiangxiang's place."
Xiao Ruo was taken aback but then smiled, "Thank you, both of you."
No wonder Brother Fu said nothing and let her leave the palace; it turns out he sent these two to escort her.
Indeed, with these two around, she could traverse Anhe City with ease.
