Finally getting down from the mountain, Zhu Yu's stamina, which was still quite abundant during the autopsy, was completely depleted. She leaned against the carriage and dozed off. When she awoke halfway, she lifted the curtain to look outside and realized they weren't returning to Qingshui County but heading towards the post station where they had stayed before.
"Are we going back to the post station today?" she asked, a bit surprised.
Lu Qing was also holding the curtain with one hand, looking out the window in a daze, lost in thought. Hearing Zhu Yu speak, he withdrew his gaze and nodded at her, "Too many eyes and ears at the inn make it inconvenient. The post station is better, being on the official grounds."
Before long, they arrived at the post station, still only guarded by the old post house manager, very quiet.
