"Good, good, what a great Shen Xihe!" Xiao Changying tilted his head and ordered in a deep voice, "Prepare the horse for me!"

"Your Highness, it is not appropriate for you to ride a horse now..." The subordinate who wanted to persuade her felt the sharp gaze from Xiao Changying and immediately changed his words, "The princess has just set off. I have prepared a carriage and will definitely be able to catch up with her."

As soon as Shen Xihe's carriage got on the official road, she told Mo Yuan: "His Royal Highness Prince Lie will definitely catch up with us. Even if he has no evidence, he will definitely find an excuse to harass us. You lead your men forward, and let Zhenzhu and Moyu follow me to take a detour. We will meet outside the suburbs of Beijing."

"Princess..."

"Mo Yuan, I only want obedient people." Without giving Mo Yuan a chance to refute, Shen Xihe softly threw out these words.

Mo Yuan immediately took the others away obediently.

"Princess, are we really going to take the small road?" Looking at Mo Yuan, who did not dare to refute Shen Xihe and led a large group of people to the official road, Zhenzhu felt that this strange yet familiar princess seemed to have intentionally left Mo Yuan behind for some reason.

Shen Xihe gathered the cloak on his shoulders and said softly, "Zhenzhu, how many years can I live with my body?"

"Princess, don't have such wild thoughts. Your body is only slightly weaker than that of ordinary people. I have heard that the noble ladies in Kyoto are all delicate and consider it beautiful." Zhenzhu was eager to comfort Shen Xihe.

Shen Xihe has been sentimental since childhood because of his congenital weakness since his mother's womb.

"Why panic? I know my own body well."

At this time, a breeze happened to blow through the bamboo forest, and Shen Xihe's skirt and cloak fluttered in the wind, and even her simply tied-up black hair swayed and emitted bursts of fragrance. Her seemingly thin and slender body stood very steadily, like a green bamboo rooted in the soil, extremely tough.

"Let's go to Luoyang first." Shen Xiping took a breath slowly, as if the fresh air brought by the wind in the bamboo forest made her very comfortable.

"Why are we going to Luoyang?" Zhenzhu was puzzled. Although it was on the way, their original route bypassed Luoyang and went straight to Kyoto.

"You'll know when you get there."

Shen Xihe didn't want to say much, and Zhenzhu didn't dare to ask more. The princess didn't like people who asked too many questions.

Shen Xihe was in poor health, and even though Zhenzhu took care of him, it took him half a month to arrive in Luoyang.

When I arrived in Yiyang County, Luoyang Prefecture, I found the best inn to stay, but unexpectedly, by coincidence, I met Bu Shulin.

"Princess, are you satisfied with my gift?" Bu Shulin walked directly to Shen Xihe's private room and sat down next to Shen Xihe in a familiar manner.

Shen Xihe stood up expressionlessly. She almost kicked her feet, but fortunately Bu Shulin was a good martial artist and was able to steady herself.

Looking at Shen Xihe who had moved to the other side, Bu Shulin stepped on the other end of the bench and said, "The princess is really cruel and ruthless."

"If it weren't for me, you would have been guilty of plotting to assassinate the prince."

What Bu Shulin meant by repaying a favor was the evidence that Xiao Changying had worked so hard to obtain. Bu Shulin had chased Xiao Changying to Changsha County.

Her purpose was also to prevent the evidence from falling into Xiao Changying's hands. As for the deeper meaning, Shen Xihe didn't want to delve into it.

Bu Shulin showed up that day without bringing anyone with her and rashly showed up to save Xiao Changying. There was no way she would not be exposed, as many forces were involved at that time.
