In the evening, when Little Dengdeng fell asleep, Bai Ruozhu finally had the opportunity to ask Jiang Yichun about his earlier return to the capital.
"Luckily, I was cautious enough this time. I indeed encountered an ambush on the road, but thankfully there were no grave consequences, and I successfully delivered the items to the Emperor," said Jiang Yichun, his explanation brief, but Bai Ruozhu knew the situation wasn't as simple as he described.
"You were injured before, weren't you? Where did you get hurt? Let me see!" Bai Ruozhu commanded with a sense of urgency, knowing that he would try to hide it from her to avoid worrying her.
Jiang Yichun laughed, rolled up his sleeve to reveal the sword wound on his arm which was neither deep nor unhealed.
"It was Mr. Yao who treated it, so you don't need to worry," said Jiang Yichun as he touched her head. Suddenly reminded of the incident in the cave, he felt puzzled and shared a simplified version of the event with Bai Ruozhu.
