"Tianyuan." Hua Fuhai interrupted the servant and said, "She recognized me."
"This... How is this possible..." Tian Yuan was shocked.
Their master started disguising himself when he was eight years old, and later sought out a folk eccentric to study this art. Even for those of them who had followed him since childhood, if the master wanted to conceal something, it would be difficult for them to detect the flaws.
"I don't know what alerted her." Hua Fuhai was extremely curious about this, and a smile flashed in his eyes. "If she hadn't noticed, how could she, as the beloved daughter of the King of the Northwest, be so polite to a merchant like me?"
“Your Highness, are you saying that the princess knows you…” Tian Yuan was even more frightened.
Hua Fuhai smiled and shook his head: "No, she knows that I was the embroiderer last night."
As if he had thought of something, Hua Fuhai smiled even more: "If she saw through me and knew my true identity, she wouldn't be so cautious. Don't forget her attitude towards Lao Wu and Lao Jiu."
Precisely because they couldn't see clearly, and precisely because they knew that he could disguise himself as the Emperor's close official, the Embroidered Uniform Envoy, that they were reserved in everything.
Be it the Crown Prince or the Prince, if the princess really knew the truth, she would probably not take him seriously.
"Shen Yueshan is a serious person and his son is rigid, but his daughter is quite interesting." A hint of interest flashed across Hua Fuhai's eyes.
Shen Xihe had no idea that someone was praising her for being funny. After the matter here was settled, she immediately made arrangements and set out from Luoyang to Kyoto early the next morning.
Shen Xihe was in very poor health, and they walked slowly. It was not until nightfall that they left Luoyang City. They had to spend the night in the wilderness.
Mo Yu hunted a wild rabbit and was roasting it. Under the guidance of Shen Xihe, he smeared a lot of spices and honey on it. The aroma drifted away with the sizzling sound of oil, and people came following the scent.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Shen Xihe and Mo Yu looked at the direction of the sound vigilantly. It was a master and servant coming.
The man had a handsome face, and was wearing a sky-blue robe without any patterns, and looked a little thin.
When he turned over and dismounted from his horse, he could barely stand still. He shyly walked forward and bowed to Shen Xihe: "Ladies, could you please allow me and your servant to rest nearby?"
As if he was afraid that Shen Xihe and the others would misunderstand him, the young man quickly took out the document and said, "I am Guo Daoyi, a student taking an exam, and I am definitely not a wicked person."
Mo Yu looked at Shen Xihe, who refused coldly, "There is a difference between men and women, please leave, sir."
The young man did not leave, but hesitated and continued to try to persuade: "Lady, please be flexible. It is late at night. We can go together and give each other courage..."
"I don't need courage." Shen Xihe interrupted him.
“I…I need…” the young man said weakly, looking around timidly in the darkness.
"What does it have to do with me?" Shen Xihe looked coldly at the young man through the veil hanging from the fence.
Mo Yu drew out the sword in his hand with a swish.
The young man seemed to be frightened and took a step back. He was too scared to say anything more. He could only lead the horse and run away and curl up. His servant seemed to be very timid as well. He took out some dry food, and the master and servant leaned against a tree, looking over here from time to time.
"Princess, do you want to expel him?" Mo Yu asked in a low voice.
"No need." Shen Xihe stared at the roasted rabbit whose skin had begun to peel. "It's edible."
