Xie Xun needed to transport the gravely injured Fengyu, so he had the carriage modified with thick bedding. He also prepared all the necessary medicinal supplies, and the maids stashed some small snacks in the carriage as well.
Prefectural Magistrate Wang originally planned to send a team of guards to escort them back to the Capital City. However, Xie Xun firmly refused. The matter involving the Beiman was deeply complicated, and he didn't want others to know about it. If word got out that Fengyu had been abducted by the Beiman, it would harm her reputation. Their quiet return to the Capital City was best left undisrupted. If anyone spotted the local guards from Shun City, the Forbidden Army would immediately investigate and uncover the truth.
