Feng Ningyan thought that if she hadn't investigated the matter of the crown prince keeping an assassin, King Yu wouldn't have condescendingly gone to the borders to suffer and suffer in the south.

Shen Ling Jue gave a slight smile, "Princess, where do you want this prince to use you? Just say it directly. Why do you have to show such dissatisfaction in front of Lan Zhu?"

When Lan Zhu heard this, she burst out into laughter. Thinking of the red teeth marks on Feng Ning Yan's neck a few days ago, her face reddened.

Feng Ning Yan angrily kicked Shen Ling Jue's leg, and scolded: "Pui! I am still a virgin, how can there be any dissatisfaction, don't slander me in front of Lan Zhu! "

"What?!" Lan Zhu was taken aback. "Princess Hua-Yang is still a virgin?"

Feng Ning Yan almost bit her tongue as she laughed awkwardly: "I was just joking, why are you being so serious? That drop of red … Cough cough, didn't you see it with your own eyes … "

Lan Zhu patted her chest and calmed down. "Your servant is really stupid. Seeing that the wangfei and prince love each other so much and the guqin is so harmonious, how can I not have a full marriage …"

The corner of Feng Ning Yan's mouth twitched as she looked at Lan Zhu. "I really don't know where you found this' love, love, and harmony '…"

"The one from Princess Consort's neck …" Lan Zhu blurted out. Before she could finish her words, she saw Feng Ning Yan's face turn red and green as she glared at Shen Ling Jue. Her eyes were filled with killing intent, scaring Lan Zhu so much that she quickly shut her mouth.

Shen Ling Jue evilly smiled, looking at Feng Ning Yan who was stuttering, unable to speak.

After leaving the capital, the sea and the sky were vast. Feng Ningyan only felt that she had regained her freedom, and her mood was exceptionally good.

She insisted on changing into men's clothing before they were even ten miles away.

She hadn't ridden a horse in a month, and now that she'd lost her sense of discipline, she felt an itch in her heart to watch Chu Zhao ride beside the carriage.

Shen Ling Jue could see that she was envious of Chu Zhao, so he told Chu Zhao to spare the horses.

The two of them galloped along side by side, with the steeds fighting to be the first to gallop, and in a moment, the caravan was far behind them.

The hooves lifted clumps of earth and leaves, and dust flew around them.

On the wide official road beside the field, their figures were as fast as lightning, as well as Feng Ningyan's clear and bright laughter.

At noon, they arrived at a place called Hundred Miles Town. Feng Ning Yan calculated the speed of the convoy, thinking that Chu Zhao, Lan Zhu, and the others wouldn't be able to reach Hundred Miles Town before nightfall.

The two led their horses through the busy streets and strolled to an inn. They then went upstairs, ordered some dishes, drank some wine, and listened to a song.

After Xiao Qu finished eating and drinking, Shen Ling Jue called for the waiter and placed a few taels of silver on the bill.

The waiter hurriedly said, "The money for the two guests' meal has already been paid for by the young lady at the table to the east."

When Shen Ling Jue heard this, he couldn't help turning his head to look.

From the east window, he saw a seventeen to eighteen year old woman watching a juggling performance downstairs. Seemingly hearing the waiter's words, she turned her head to look at Shen Ling Jue, nodding her head with a smile.

Listening to the waiter's words, Feng Ningyan couldn't help but look at the woman by the window, seeing her from head to toe.

"Yo, old acquaintance?"

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly discovered that the woman's embroidered shoes had a familiar pattern embroidered on the top.

Three diamond-shaped stones connected head to tail.

It's exactly the same as the scented sachet that Senior Servant Xu gave Shen Lingjue!

At this time, Shen Lingjue also noticed this group. His heart was secretly shocked, and silently avoided the other party's gaze.

Feng Ningyan was very puzzled. This pattern was not some auspicious totem, nor did it represent some auspicious sign. How could this girl have such a coincidence?

Even as he was lost in thought, the woman got up and went downstairs. Walking past Feng Ning Yan's table, he wiped the table with his palm, leaving behind a small paper crane.

Shen Ling Jue picked up the crane and tore it open to take a look. There was nothing written on the square piece of paper, but a strange fragrance wafted out from the paper, giving it a very refreshing fragrance.

With a cold expression, he hurriedly picked up the sword and whispered to Feng Ning Yan, "Get a room and wait for me."

Feng Ningyan froze for a moment. She immediately reacted. He was going to chase after that woman!

She suddenly felt a patch of green on top of her head. Grabbing Shen Ling Jue's wrist, she cursed in a low voice:

"Alright, you lecher. Why are you fooling around with me? I'm a nominal wangfei after all. If people know that you've been taken away by someone right under my nose, where would I put my face?"

Shen Ling Jue was in a hurry to chase after the woman, so he held Feng Ning Yan's hand, "Silly girl, I'll save vinegar for later, obediently wait for me here!"

With that, he lightly squeezed her hand, then grasped his sword and chased after her down the stairs.

Feng Ning stamped her feet in anger, "How dare you! I won't wait for you! "

She picked up her luggage and ran downstairs. At this moment, the woman and Shen Ling Jue were no longer in sight.

So fast?

Feng Ning Yan looked at the nearby terrain and followed her instincts as she ran towards a narrow alley beside the inn.

Arriving at the mouth of the alley, she saw Shen Ling Jue's white robe flash and disappear. With a cold smile, she quietly followed him.

Although the Hundred Miles Town was not very big, it had a dense population and buildings that were arranged in a disorderly way. So, alleyways came one after another like spider webs.

Feng Ning Yan was not far away as she followed Shen Ling Jue. After a while, they finally left the town.

Ahead was a tall cypress forest with a wide path.

On both sides were pine trees and tall stone sculptures, which looked like a path to some temple or a large mausoleum.

When she saw Shen Ling Jue's figure disappearing into the dense cypress forest, she became anxious. With three steps and two steps, she charged into the forest and hid behind a statue.

At this moment, she finally saw clearly that in front of her was a very small city god temple.

Not far behind the temple was a tall round hill. There were many holes in the hill, and none of them were natural caves. It seemed like someone had dug them.

Could it be, she thought, that this was an ancient tomb that had been emptied by someone?

The woman walked in front, and Shen Ling Jue maintained a distance of 70 to 80 meters between them. It wasn't until they entered the forest that the two of them stopped.

"Your Highness King Yu, did you do that on purpose?"

That woman turned around at the door of the temple and asked in a low voice.

Shen Ling Jue gave an embarrassed smile as he turned his head to look at where Feng Ning Yan was hiding. "Princess, please come out. This lady has already discovered you."

Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but be discouraged. He thought to himself, he was clearly very cautious in following Shen Ling Jue and couldn't be hidden from Shen Ling Jue. How could that girl be so vigilant, and also notice that he is following her?

However, from the woman's words, it seemed as if she was blaming Shen Ling Jue for purposely exposing her whereabouts to Feng Ning Yan and luring her here.

Feng Ning Yan walked out gloomily. "Cough cough, my purse was stolen. I don't have the money to stay in the shop, so I had no choice but to follow you …"

This excuse made her blush with guilt.

The woman glanced at her indifferently, then opened the door of the temple, inviting the two inside.

"Since you've come, then go in with the prince and the princess. My master has been waiting for you."
