A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1525 - 1523: What’s with That Attitude?

Chapter 1523

Xia Ruqing also wanted to go out with him.

Zhao Junyao couldn’t defy her, so he had to change to a carriage.

Fortunately, Lin Siyin was there as well, so the three of them shared a carriage and rushed over together.

...

The carriage raced out of the city, and the three of them remained silent the entire way.

In less than two Shi Chen, the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain Lin Siyin had pointed out.

"Is it here?"

"Yes!"

Lin Siyin looked at the familiar path and smiled.

"The road up the mountain is rugged, the carriage can’t go up, we can only walk!"

With that she jumped down.

Zhao Junyao and Xia Ruqing also got off the carriage. They had no choice but to walk up.

"Masters, you go ahead, I’ll carry these things!"

Before coming, she shamelessly asked for a lot of herbs and food.

Xia Ruqing gave them to her as promised, after all, she was their son Chenchen’s savior, it was only right to help.

Zhao Junyao, however, had some disdain, after all, he had arranged for an Imperial Physician to meet them in the city.

If that person was really Chenchen, he would never leave Chenchen to be treated by this country girl.

He could only send some things to express their gratitude.

...

The three of them, each with their own thoughts, walked up the mountain.

Zhao Junyao always shielded Xia Ruqing.

This unfamiliar woman came in a strange way, he couldn’t help but suspect her identity.

If she was a spy sent by the Southern Ocean Kingdom, it would be disastrous!

However... fortunately, fate favored them.

This woman was not a spy, and she truly led them to a cave.

"Master, madam, the young master is inside, go ahead and see if it’s the person you’re looking for."

Zhao Junyao still wasn’t very convinced, frowning sharply as he looked at her.

"Why aren’t you going in?"

Xia Ruqing tugged at his sleeve.

"What are you saying, Chenchen is inside, let’s go quickly!"

Mother’s instinct was strong, and she knew the person inside was definitely Chenchen!

Zhao Junyao was a bit helpless.

He didn’t have time to stop her, Xia Ruqing had already turned and gone inside, he had no choice but to hurry and follow.

Lin Siyin felt a bit awkward.

What was their attitude!?

However, rich people might all have strange temperaments, it was no big deal.

Considering the white grains and precious herbs, she forgave them!

...

"Chenchen?"

Xia Ruqing called softly in the dark.

She took two steps forward and saw a person lying on a tattered straw mat.

"Is it you, Chenchen?"

She took another two steps forward.

Zhao Junyao, with a serious face, pulled her back.

"Don’t move, let me check..."

He remained vigilant, after all, the Southern Ocean Kingdom was too cunning.

He didn’t believe in anything falling into their lap; if anything, it was a trap.

Xia Ruqing was speechless, about to mutter something to him.

But suddenly, the person on the straw mat coughed and hoarsely asked.

"Father? Mother? Is that you?"

The truth finally pierced through the layers of mist and revealed itself.

The woman was not a spy, but the Emperor’s savior.

The cave held no ambush, only the son he had sought after for so long.

Zhao Junyao finally relaxed his long-tense attitude. After a surge of excitement, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled.

"What’s wrong with you? Zhao Junyao, don’t scare me!"

Xia Ruqing was so frightened that her body froze, she quickly went forward to support him.

She was flustered, not knowing whether to help him sit or wipe the blood first.

"What’s wrong with you? So sudden!" Her voice was tearful.

Zhao Qichen also looked over, uneasily coughing a few times and asked worriedly.

"Is Father okay?"

"Mother, quickly help Father lie down!"

...

After a hectic session.

Father and son were settled side by side on that tattered straw mat.

Xia Ruqing looked around the cave for a place to sit but found none, so she took off her coat and sat on the ground.

Lin Siyin saw this and brought her a thin piece of stone.

"Madam, sit on this, and it will be more comfortable with clothes underneath!"

Xia Ruqing twitched her mouth, how comfortable could it be?

Lin Siyin smiled awkwardly, comforting her.

"Don’t worry, Madam!"

"Master’s body is fine. It was just a momentary shock earlier. I’ve already brewed some medicine, after a bowl, he’ll feel better!"

"The young master’s body has also improved a lot; the wound has scabbed and won’t easily reopen. Once back... with good care, he’ll regain his strength quickly!"

"I don’t have much food here, I’m sorry to put the young master through this, Madam."

After saying this, Lin Siyin lowered her head.

Xia Ruqing smiled and reassured her.

"It’s okay!"

"We don’t blame you!"

"It’s remarkable that a young girl like you managed to save him; from now on, you are our savior, a savior of the Great Chu Dynasty, and the people’s savior!"

"No one can bully you!"

Lin Siyin was taken aback by these words, her knees buckled, and she involuntarily knelt down.

"Madam, you’re too kind!"

"I’m just a humble country girl, unworthy of such praise. In fact, the young master was injured saving me, he is my savior!"

After speaking, she was surprised to find herself kneeling, why was she doing this!... How embarrassing!

Xia Ruqing smiled and helped her up.

"No need for formalities!"

"Don’t overthink it, let me know if you need anything, by the way, where’s your home, and who else do you have?"

Lin Siyin twitched her mouth, about to answer.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qichen woke up from their chatter, frowned, and helplessly looked at his mother.

"Mother! Cough cough!"

"She’s just a country girl, no need to say so much!"

Xia Ruqing reprimanded playfully.

"Don’t be rude. She saved you, can’t Mother ask some questions?"

...

The conversation between the mother and son was natural, but Lin Siyin’s face could not relax.

Oh heavens!

What did she just hear?

Mother?!

What does Mother mean?

Forgive her ignorance, having grown up in the mountains, she had never heard such terms before.

But no matter how naive she was, she couldn’t help but notice the special status of the three in front of her.

How special could it be? Could they be high-ranking officials?

In her life, the biggest official she had seen was probably the County Magistrate and constable under Guangnan City.

Beyond that, she couldn’t even imagine!

She stood there, shocked, her knees feeling cold.

What to do? She felt like kneeling again.

No wonder her knees weren’t cooperating today, so this was the reason!

"Lin Siyin, what’s wrong?" Zhao Qichen looked at her with a mixture of annoyance and disdain.

Lin Siyin snapped back to her senses, cautiously replying.

"Young master!"

"What did you mean by ’mother’ just now!"

"Are you some high official, if you go back, will you punish me?"

She was so frightened her face turned pale.

Zhao Qichen was stunned for a moment at her words, then almost choked from anger, nearly passing out!

What on earth? What punishment?
