"You and Miss Gu mustn't take the carriage or ride horses, but rather walk eastward. Pay attention along the way, don't leave any traces. Jin Zijin will soon realize he's been fooled, but we can't let him find us that easily."
...
The carriage wheels bumped harshly over the stones, jolting Gu Youyou awake.
She yawned and lifted the carriage curtain to ask Jin Ziyuan outside, "What time is it now?"
Jin Ziyuan turned his head and said, "It must be almost dawn."
Almost dawn? Are they almost there?
Gu Youyou hurriedly tidied up her somewhat disheveled clothing and said, "There's no need to enter the city, just let me off in the outskirts, thank you Jin Ziyuan. I don't have much to thank you with, some other day I'll make more medicinal pellets for you."
The Jin Ziyuan driving the carriage remained silent without responding; Gu Youyou awkwardly twisted her mouth, lowered the curtain, and returned inside.
