Chapter 1480 - 1483: Heading to the Capital City_1
"That’s true, medicine can’t be researched in just a moment, and we can’t all just keep lingering here."
"Exactly, you all get ready. I’m going to give that surnamed Tong a few more instructions."
With that, Ye Zi’an left.
Seeing that Commandery Princess Dongyang was still sitting, Yang Chuxia smiled and said, "Mu Shaoling won’t be happy, you know. Won’t you go comfort him?"
"What’s there to comfort? A grown man isn’t that fragile."
Commandery Princess Dongyang didn’t seem to care much about it, and she didn’t notice anything wrong with him anyway.
Seeing this, Yang Chuxia could only shrug her shoulders.
"Mother, when are we leaving here?" Once the inn got quiet, Yangyang came down from upstairs.
"Your father said we’re leaving tomorrow."
"That’s great!" The little guy’s face lit up upon hearing this.
Yang Chuxia raised her eyebrows, "That happy?"
"Of course, I don’t want to stay here at all." Those people were pitiful, but just as frightening.

The matters of Li’an County were left to County Magistrate Tong, while the real situation in the other towns was to be investigated by Ye Yi and his team.
Ye Zi’an then set off for the prefecture city with Yang Chuxia and their party.
The doctor from Mu’s Clinic arrived at Li’an County two days after their departure, treating patients based on some prescriptions left by Mu Shaoling.
They traveled fast since they were on business, arriving at the prefecture city in just a few days.
In the prefecture city, they only stayed for one day. After Yang Chuxia left some unnecessary items at the Ye Residence, they set off for the Capital City.
Having lived in this era for many years, this was Yang Chuxia’s first visit to the Capital City of Great Zhou, and she was quite curious about it. As for Yangyang, the child was even more curious about everything no matter where they went.
"Mother, I’ve heard that it snows in the north. Will we be able to see snow once we get to the Capital City?" Yangyang, peering out of the carriage window, asked.
"We should be able to see it." Seeing that he was still leaning out, Yang Chuxia quickly pulled him back, "Pull the curtain down quickly. You don’t want the cold air to freeze your sister, and look at you, your face is all red."
"Young master, hold the hand warmer for a bit." Seeing him seated back in the carriage, Mingcui passed the hand warmer to him.
"Mother, will we be able to see my brother once we get to the Capital City?"
"Yes, we will." Yang Chuxia thought of the news of their arrival at the Capital City, which had been sent to Old Mu and Baili Yan. Baili Yan would probably have informed the Emperor by now.
"Then how long will it take us to get to the Capital City? I can hardly wait."
"Soon! We should arrive in just two or three more days."
Yang Chuxia looked at the sky outside, which was somewhat overcast. If it didn’t snow, they should arrive soon. If it did snow, then it was hard to say. She hoped it wouldn’t snow.
Three days later, midday, several carriages arrived at the gates of the Capital City.
Yang Chuxia lifted the curtain for a glance. It looked quite like the city gates in those TV dramas.
Perhaps it was Mu Shaoling’s face acting as a pass, the guards let them through as soon as they recognized him.
Upon entering the city gates, Old Mu was waiting with his attendants.
"Granduncle!" Yang Chuxia called out from inside the carriage and was about to get down when Old Mu quickly motioned with his hand, "No need to come out in the cold. I’ll take you to where you’ll be staying first."
As they were about to enter the inner city, their carriage separated from Mu Shaoling and Dongyang’s carriage. They headed back to the Mu Family, while Yang Chuxia and her family followed Old Mu to his private residence.
"Mother, was the person who spoke just now Granduncle?"
"Yes, he’s your father’s granduncle. Remember to address him properly when you get off the carriage, okay?"
