On the second day, the sky slowly brightened.
Shen Haoxuan stretched lazily and then saw the door of the room opposite of them open. Xuanyuan Changge was wearing a simple blue colored water shirt, and her ink-black hair was tied up high, coiled into a simple and refreshing bun.
In the past, Xuanyuan Changge would always wear complex and serious court attire, although she had an innocent and unaffected personality, her body still carried the air of a noble.
Now that she was dressed in such a fresh and simple manner, coupled with her spirited face, it caused people's eyes to light up.
Shen Haoxuan grinned: "Your Highness, why are you awake so early? Why aren't you sleeping?"
Xuanyuan Changge took a deep breath and took a deep breath. Squinting her eyes, she smiled and said: "I'll be troubling you to let Young Master Shen and Mister Quiet And Stealth return to the capital as soon as possible."
Furthermore, she did not want to cause any trouble for herself. It was her willfulness that made her sneak out and follow Shen Haoxuan's team to Mo Bei, where she met Lin Mu.
Especially because of her, yesterday, Shen Haoxuan and the others had no choice but to put their lives on the line to protect her.
"The princess has grown up." Just as Shen Haoxuan was about to get used to shaking his fan, he realized that his hand had missed.
Xuanyuan Changge smiled slightly, she did not admit nor deny it.
Just as he left the city gates, several female voices sounded from behind him, "Benefactor, please wait."
Xuanyuan Changge felt that the voice was familiar, she pulled on the reins and turned the horse around, stopping at the city gate.
Seeing that, Shen Haoxuan held onto the reins, and asked softly: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"There's nothing to do. Young Master Shen and Mister Quiet And Steadfast will wait here for me for a while. I'll be right back." Xuanyuan Changge dismounted from her horse and walked in front of a man and a woman.
The young man among them held a small bag in his hands, which contained the excess silver that the woman had seen after her treatment. The young man wanted to return the money to Xuanyuan Changge, but was rejected by Xuanyuan Changge.
Looking at his clasped hands, Xuanyuan Changge instantly revealed a gentle smile, and said: "Your wife seems to be well, the remaining silver seems to be your capital, do some small business, and maintain your family."
"How can I accept this. "Young lady, it's already extremely benevolent for you to give me money to treat my illness. How could we possibly take young lady's silver taels? Young lady, you should just accept it." The woman spoke in a gentle and soft voice with a gentle and virtuous expression.
Xuanyuan Changge was troubled again and again, but was unable to refuse, so she agreed: "Alright then."
Just as Xuanyuan Changge was about to retract her hand, the woman suddenly grabbed Xuanyuan Changge's wrist. In her other hand, she held a sharp knife.
A cold light flashed in front of his eyes.
Xuanyuan Changge subconsciously held onto the blade with her other hand. The lady was struggling and tried to pull the knife out, but she was stopped by Xuanyuan Changge.
"Young Master Shen, save me!" Xuanyuan Changge shouted for help.
Shen Haoxuan and An Yi heard Xuanyuan Changge's cries for help, and immediately flew to Xuanyuan Changge's side. Seeing Xuanyuan Changge holding onto the blade edge with both of her hands, fresh blood flowed out from the gaps of her fingers, and continuously dripped onto the ground.
Shen Haoxuan was shocked, his wrist slashed at the elbow of the dagger he was holding, causing the girl to let go of the dagger. Shen Haoxuan took the opportunity to kick the woman, and secretly kicked the man far away.
Xuanyuan Changge loosened her grip on the dagger painfully, and the dagger that was stained with blood immediately slipped out of her hand.
"I'm sorry Princess, I hurt you." Shen Haoxuan said apologetically, she did not expect that the enemy had taken the opportunity to injure Xuanyuan Changge.
Xuanyuan Changge shook her head, her lips had been bitten so hard that it had turned white, but she still stubbornly said: "It's nothing, just a small injury."
The fresh blood continuously dripped down. Shen Haoxuan looked at Xuanyuan Changge's pale face and lips, he knew that Xuanyuan Changge was only doing this to prevent him from worrying, so he didn't say anything else.
He decisively tore off a piece of clothing from the hem of his robes and simply took care of the blood on Xuanyuan Changge's hand.
By the time everything was arranged, Xuanyuan Changge's hands were already covered with thick white bandages.
The three of them continued their journey.
Shen Haoxuan looked at Xuanyuan Changge's injured hand, and the guilt in her heart grew deeper and deeper. "Your Highness, this time, it's all our fault for being too careless and allowing you to get attacked and get stabbed by these two people."
Shen Haoxuan lowered his eyes, the expression in the depths of his eyes could not be seen, but from the low voice, one could clearly hear the guilt in his words.
"Young Master Shen doesn't have to blame myself. This was my carelessness in the first place, to actually believe in two seemingly harmless ordinary people. After all, no one would have expected such a thing to happen. "
Xuanyuan Changge consoled her. She indeed did not expect that her sudden kind help yesterday would actually help the evil. The two of them had obviously set a trap for him to fall into. Fortunately, he and Shen Haoxuan had been prepared to leave this place since a long time ago.
The two of them did not panic and acted rashly without any preparation. On the contrary, they were the ones who got caught.
This was truly the fortune of misfortune.
He lowered his head and remained silent. As he thought about it, Shen Haoxuan asked him yesterday if anything abnormal had happened, and he naively believed that this matter wasn't considered an abnormality, but he never thought that Xuanyuan Changge would actually be harmed.
After a long silence, he said with a hoarse voice: "This is all this subordinate's fault. Yesterday, this subordinate should have told Young Master Shen about this matter, and today, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened, causing Princess to be injured."
Xuanyuan Changge rubbed her forehead, and said with a slight headache: "I've already said that I have nothing to do, the most important thing right now is to hurry over, and not delay any further."
The two of them continued with their endless apologies and guilt. They might as well travel early and not miss the time.
Hearing Xuanyuan Changge's words, Shen Haoxuan had no choice but to give up. However, in his heart, he was still a little surprised.
After all, in his impression, Xuanyuan Changge was lively and restless, often causing trouble. If it wasn't for her identity as a princess, who would be able to tolerate her capricious personality?
However, he never expected that under such circumstances, Xuanyuan Changge would actually be able to see the big picture, which was truly rare.
After this battle, on the way back to the capital, he did not encounter any more dangers. Instead, in a valley about fifteen kilometers away from the capital, he met Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong's group who were resting and resting on the spot.
Xuanyuan Changge immediately dismounted from her horse and ran to Xie Qingrong's side.
When Shen Haoxuan saw that he had finally reunited with Xuanyuan Chen and the others, the boulder that was hanging over his heart finally dropped down, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
