Unexpectedly, just as the two of them were about to reach the entrance of the alley, they suddenly bumped into a familiar person.
That person was also stunned for a moment when he saw them. Then, he walked over. "Doctor Shao."
Shao Qingyuan nodded at him, greeted him, and brushed past him, planning to leave.
That person was about to leave, but he suddenly stopped and said, "Imperial Physician Cui entered the palace to meet the emperor as soon as he returned."
This person was the imperial guard who had protected Imperial Physician Cui and his daughter on the ship. Now that Imperial Physician Cui had returned to the capital safely, his mission was completed.
This person left after saying this.
Gu Yundong waited until his figure had completely disappeared before she asked, "Are all the people in the capital so oblique?"
Couldn't he make it clearer? He clearly meant well, but if he met someone who wasn't quick-witted enough, they really wouldn't be able to figure it out.
