Bai Pi personally led Shen Ling Jue, Feng Ning Yan and co. over the Iron Bridge, and then bid them farewell.

"Alright, Bai Pi can only send your highness and wangfei here. From here on down the mountain, ten miles west is the official road, and south is the Tianshui River. It is convenient even by land."

Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan thanked Bai Dan and led the men from the Yuwang Mansion down the mountain.

This fortuitous encounter caused Feng Ning Yan to feel baffled even after going down the mountain.

The diamond-shaped symbol that had suddenly appeared, the maverick Nangong Xingyao, the omniscient Speaker Pavilion. They were filled with suspicion at the same time they were filled with attraction.

They ordered a large ship at the Tianshui River and headed south.

Because Chu Zhao had been followed, and Shen Lingjue had gotten into trouble, Feng Ningyan didn't feel safe at all.

Thus, she did not stay idle while she boarded the ship, carefully inspecting the entire ship from top to bottom, inside and out.

After that, he ordered Chu Zhao to send people to guard the important positions and strengthen the guards. Even the hold was assigned someone to prevent anyone from digging into the ship.

On the other hand, Shen Lingjue was calmly lying on the deck's gunny sack, basking in the sunset, eating fruits and watching the congealing of phoenixes.

"Your Highness, the arrangements have been made. You can rest easy and sleep in peace."

After Feng Ning Yan finished arranging everything, she walked up to the deck and said to Shen Ling Jue.

Shen Lingjue picked up a tangerine and threw it to her, "The wangfei is too much like the shadow of a snake."

Feng Ning Yan caught the tangerine and rubbed it on her palm, "It was because we had such a high profile that we were followed. From today onwards, we must disguise ourselves and conceal our identities. "Who do you think we should pretend to be?"

Shen Ling Jue thought for a moment, "Of course it's better to disguise as a newlywed couple visiting their hometown."

Feng Ning Yan rolled her eyes at him. "Is there still a need to pretend?" We were originally going home to visit our family! "

Shen Ling Jue sat up with a smile: "It's different. You used to call me Your Highness, and I used to call you Princess. From today onwards, you will call me husband and I will call you wife. "

"…" Feng Ning Yan looked at him doubtfully, and threw the tangerine in her hand directly at his chest, "Don't even think about it!"

Lan Zhu brought up some tea. When he saw Feng Ningyan's angry face, he hurriedly asked, "What happened to the wangfei? You got mad at the Prince again? "

Feng Ning Yan's face reddened. Without saying a single word, she grabbed a piece of dessert and threw it towards Shen Ling Jue.

Shen Ling Jue caught it and took a bite, "Thank you, my wife."

Feng Ning Yan stamped her foot. "Shameless …"

During the night, when they arrived at a desolate dock, Shen Ling Jue gave the boatsman a bag of silver, instructing him to continue his journey south, to fifty miles away in Yin City, to pick up a bag of goods and then return to Hundred Miles Town.

The boatman took the silver and weighed it in his hand. He knew it would be at least fifty taels of silver. After all, this was his annual profit. Thus, he happily patted his chest and promised to receive the goods.

Then, everyone disembarked at the pier, where there was no village and no shops.

Standing in the cold wind, Feng Ning Yan felt that Shen Ling Jue's arrangements were a little strange.

"Your Highness, we didn't even go into that General Store in Hundred Miles Town. When did you discuss business with it?"

Shen Ling Jue glared at her in disdain. "So stupid …"

With that, he pulled her into his embrace and whispered, "Since Hundred Miles Town is the main hall of the Speaker Pavilion, of course the surrounding traffic is also within their monitoring and control area. "Not only must we get rid of the crown prince and Shen You Huang's men, we must also avoid the surveillance of the Pavilion of Interpretation. Otherwise, our whereabouts will be grasped by the Pavilion of Interpretation."

Feng Ningyan laughed and said, "Right, we still can't confirm whether the Pavilion of Interpretation is truly loyal or not. It's better to be a bit more cautious. "No wonder I ended up on the boat. You're laughing at me for causing so much trouble, so it turns out that I've already made arrangements."

As expected, in less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, another boat had left the nearby reeds.

Chu Zhao gave a signal to the people on the boat. The boat had just landed and the boatmen on it were all well-trained sailors.

Stepping onto the deck of this ship, Feng Ning Yan finally relaxed her guard, and sighed, "It's still better to stay in one's own territory."

There was nothing special about the exterior of the ship. In fact, it looked simple and crude. However, when he stepped into the cabin, his eyes lit up.

The decorations were magnificent, and the furnishings were complete. The brocade bed and bedding in the bedroom were all brand-new. There were red wood furniture everywhere, and beautiful palace lanterns were hung all over the place.

The golden incense burner emitted a light smoke, and the light green muslin curtain slightly swayed, causing the cabin to appear warm and enchanting.

Feng Ning Yan was sitting on the soft couch as she tried it out, but she suddenly felt a little tired.

When Lan Zhu went to prepare the bath water, she unknowingly fell asleep.

It was unknown if it was due to the shaking of the boat that she was sleeping soundly. Furthermore, she didn't wake up until noon the next day.

She was the only one in the bedroom, and Lan Zhu was standing guard outside the door.

After Feng Ning Yan got out of bed, she took a shower. She felt comfortable all over and her hair hadn't been tied up yet. As she combed her hair, she walked onto the deck.

Shen Ling Jue sat on the side of the boat, holding the scented sachet that Senior Servant Xu had given him, as he looked into the distance in a daze.

The boat swiftly sailed and the wind that blew towards her caused Shen Ling Jue's long black hair and white clothes to flutter in the wind. In the background of the endless dark green river, she was as beautiful as a painting of ink.

Feng Ning Yan was startled as she stood there, staring at the scene before her.

He was truly good-looking, so good-looking that he didn't seem to be contaminated by the world's fireworks. When he was quiet, his beautiful phoenix eyes were as cold as if they could cut off all emotions and six desires.

Even though he was only dressed in a simple white robe, sitting against the railing, he had the bearing of a monarch looking down on all living beings.

Only now did Feng Ningyan realize that she had never looked at him so seriously and quietly before.

Thus, when everyone was in awe of his appearance and went crazy, she turned a blind eye to it.

But now, she finally saw his unparalleled beauty, his concealed domineering aura, and even his cold expression. She couldn't help but feel a bit moved.

However, why would such a cold person treat her with such gentleness and care? She really couldn't understand.

At this moment, Shen Ling Jue put down the scented sachet, and slowly turned his head to see Feng Ning Yan.

"My wife, you're up?" He jumped off the boat and walked over with a smile.

Feng Ningyan's heart fiercely skipped a beat. She guiltily lowered her head, not daring to let him see the disorder in her heart.

"Where is the boat?"

"It's close to the east of the river." Shen Ling Jue looked at the towering mountains on both sides of the river and said, "Follow the river, get down faster than the road. In another day, we will reach Celestial Wolf Mountain."

"So fast." Feng Ning Yan looked around at the scenery, and took a deep breath of the river's slightly fishy smell, "Beyond the east side of the river, there is no longer the desolate autumn of the capital. If we weren't in such a hurry, we would really like to get off the boat and travel around the area for a few days! "

Shen Ling Jue took the jade comb in her hand and stood behind her while gently combing her hair.

"There will be a chance. When the winds in the capital stop and the clouds settle, there will be no more smoke at the border. Then, I will accompany you as you travel through the mountains and rivers of Big Moon."

Feng Ningyan's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but turn back to look at him. "Your Highness, are you serious?"

Shen Ling Jue smiled gently and touched her forehead with his comb: "Have you forgotten it again? It's called hubby. "
