Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 253 Stalking and Robbery

"Dali, where have you gone to play? Look how happy you are."

Come here and tell me what's making you so happy, so I can share in your joy!

As Su Yue spoke, she slowly sat up and gently cupped Dali's chubby little face in her hands, affectionately kneading it.

"Hehe, look what this is!" Dali smiled broadly and slowly opened his hand, revealing a jet-black pill in his palm.

Upon seeing this, Su Yue blurted out without thinking, "Huh, Maltesers?"

However, Dali looked completely bewildered, clearly having no idea what Maltesers were.

So she simply shook her head slightly, then a mysterious expression appeared on her face, and she said to Su Yue in a low voice, "Yes, I stole it!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yue immediately became interested. Dali had never robbed others of their belongings before, so why was he acting so strangely today?

So she quickly asked, "Dali, where did you steal this from? Don't let anyone find out!"

Dali scratched his head and began to vividly recount what had happened: "You were so tired at noon that you didn't have a good appetite and felt uncomfortable walking. So I thought I'd go out and find you something delicious to eat."

Unexpectedly, as I passed by the courtyard I had visited that morning, I heard people whispering to each other.

Upon closer listening, I realized that the person was preparing to go out to find medicine that could cure the illness.

Hehe, I had a sudden inspiration and thought it would be useful to you, so I secretly followed him and went with him.

When we got there, Ah Yue, do you know what? That place was huge! The buildings were very tall, almost as tall as our Star-Picking Tower.

Moreover, there were a lot of people inside, and they were all wearing the same clothes. If I wasn't careful, I would lose them.

Luckily, I was smart and ran to the main gate to stand guard. I waited for a long time before I saw that person come out.

"Quickly, I caught him off guard, rushed forward, and knocked him unconscious with a heavy punch. Then I snatched the medicine from his hand and rushed back to give it to you." Dali seemed a little guilty as he finished speaking.

He cautiously stole a glance at Su Yue, afraid that she would be angry because he had taken something from someone else.

Su Yue suddenly realized that the person Dali had been following was Jiang Chengkun.

In that case, taking his things wouldn't be a big problem.

However, even if this situation was excusable, she felt she still needed to give Dali a good warning to prevent the child from going astray in the future.

So, Su Yue looked at Dali with a serious expression and said, "Dali, although you may have meant well today, we must never steal other people's things in the future, even for my sake."

"I'll let it go this time, but you're not allowed to do this again! If you ever want anything else in the future, remember to tell me first, and I'll go and get it for you." After saying that, Su Yue gently cupped Dali's aggrieved little face and tenderly kneaded it.

Dali, who had been looking aggrieved, instantly broke into a bright smile on his cute, chubby face when he heard that Su Yue wasn't really angry with him.

Dali nodded repeatedly and replied, "Yes, yes, yes, Dali will be a good boy and listen to A-Yue from now on! Take this medicine quickly, and you won't feel uncomfortable anymore."

Su Yue shook her head, frowned, and said, "Oh, I'm not sick, I'm just tired. I took a nap and I'm fine now. Besides, this medicine is too bitter, I don't want to take it at all."

"How about we try this together?" Su Yue said, taking out a plate of osmanthus rice cakes from her spatial storage.

"Wow, it smells so good! Dali hasn't had osmanthus rice cake in so long! Yue, you're so kind!" Dali cheered excitedly.

She took a big bite of the osmanthus rice cake without waiting, and her satisfied expression made people smile. Her big eyes even curved into crescent shapes with laughter.

Meanwhile, Su Yue was examining the pills that Dali had brought back with great interest.

She gently picked up one of the pills, held it to her nose, and carefully sniffed it.

A rich herbal aroma instantly filled her nostrils, causing her to squint her eyes slightly as she carefully discerned the ingredients.

After careful examination, Su Yue realized that these pills were made from precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, angelica, astragalus, rehmannia, and donkey-hide gelatin.

Clearly, this is a good medicine specifically designed to replenish qi and blood.

However, when she noticed the ginseng used in it, her eyes lit up. It was a ginseng that was two hundred years old!

Such quality makes it a rare find.

It's a pity that, despite the remarkable effects of this blood-nourishing pill, it's probably just a drop in the ocean for those two people who are so seriously injured.

After all, their injuries were to their legs, not from excessive blood loss.

Therefore, the effect that these seemingly precious pills can play at this moment is negligible, or even utterly useless.

Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but shake her head slightly. Jiang Ying's brother really thought highly of Gu Chuan.

Just then, in the dark and narrow alley, Jiang Chengkun slowly opened his eyes.

He sat up somewhat blankly, and subconsciously reached out to feel for his belongings.

However, when his hand touched the empty pocket, a chill instantly rose up his spine, and his face turned ashen with fear.

"Damn it!" Jiang Chengkun cursed under his breath, his heart filled with anger and fear.

He never imagined that someone would be so bold as to openly rob him of his belongings outside the Imperial Preceptor's Hall.

This is not only disregarding him, but also showing contempt for the entire Imperial Preceptor's Hall!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengkun felt a surge of anger.

He absolutely cannot let this matter rest; it must be reported to the Imperial Preceptor immediately.

For such a heinous incident to occur in the capital, especially since the victims were from the Imperial Preceptor's Palace, is a blatant slap in the face.

If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, how can we uphold the dignity of the Imperial Preceptor's Hall? How can we uphold his dignity?

However, Jiang Chengkun couldn't help but wonder: Was this person deliberately going against him personally? Or was there a conspiracy against the Gu family behind it all?

It seems that a more in-depth investigation is needed to find out the truth.

Jiang Chengkun endured the pain in his body and struggled to his feet. He vigorously brushed the dust off his clothes, trying to make himself look less disheveled.
