There was nothing from Jinshi. He didnt tell her to leave the children be, nor that there was no point in doing so. He didnt immediately send them to the execution grounds either. She became desperate resuscitating the children. She was grateful that she was permitted to stay in a village along the way without returning to the capital like this. Though it was out of use nowadays, the village once prospered as a health resort, so it was the ideal place for recuperation. Since she had made such a racket for hot water or something, and moreover, it was Jinshi who had prepared it for her, no one would think it wasnt strange.
People gathered around the carriage in a bustle. With Gaoshuns quick decision, it was decided that Maomaos condition had gotten worse, but that became chaotic in its own way. Since, the monocle tactician with the strained back had turned up creeping on the floor like a wraith.
Afterwards, the weirdo tactician being bundled up in a futon by Rahan and several subordinates, forced to drink a sleeping-draught, and then forced to ride the fastest carriage back to the capital was a truth that sounded false.
They must be fearing for the payback that would follow, but Rahan would somehow get away with it, Maomao thought. She pretty much also knew about that mans adopted son. This guy is considerably cunning despite his appearance. Taking the opportunity with another request, she had Suirei come along with her. Basen also accompanied them as supervision, and together they stayed in the village.
One of Basens cheeks were largely swollen and he was frowning more than usual, but she was thankful that he worked as he was told. She felt that the number of guards was excessive, but she figured that more hands were appreciated.
