Qi Heng walked up to them. "Is the Princess ill? I've sent someone to the town up ahead to arrange our lodgings. Let's take Her Highness there now."
"All right." Chu Qi nodded. After wiping away the tears on Ji'er's face, he lifted her into his arms and carried her into the carriage.
After he had made sure Ji'er was comfortable, Qi Heng asked him outside, "What should we do with these kids and the coachman?"
Chu Qi considered the question for a moment, then said, "We take them with us."
Lil Lin's group had no idea what was going on.
They had traveled for nearly the whole day, only to be stopped by a company of people on horses at nightfall.
Thinking they had run into robbers, they were at a loss for what to do. However, when the strangers saw Young Master, they did not make any further movement; instead, they ordered everyone to be quiet.
Sure enough, the entire party made no more sound and stood guard by the carriage in silence.
