The carriage dispersed the crowd and moved slowly through the bustling market.
Mu Xiang's face was stern, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. She always felt that someone was following their carriage, but if she looked back frequently, she was afraid of disturbing the situation.
After thinking for a moment, she pretended to look back to talk to Ruan Yuyi, knocked on the wooden car body twice, but glanced to the side. As soon as she hit it, a man's eyes suddenly met hers, perhaps because he was afraid that she would be caught.
Discovering it, he hid around the corner guiltily.
Ruan Yuyi was inside the carriage, so she didn't know what was going on outside. She heard the tapping sound of the wood incense and said, "What's wrong?"
The carriage continued to move, and she could feel a slight tremor beneath her body. The sound of the woody fragrance outside the carriage was partially covered by the sounds of people around her, making it not very clear.
Despite this, she still turned pale.
"Miss, there is someone following us," Mu Xiang paused, "It's a man." He looks young, but sixteen or seventeen years old doesn't matter.
At this time, the carriage drove along the edge for a while, and the shadows of the houses on the street fell, making the interior of the carriage dark.
Some unpleasant experiences suddenly came to her mind. Her face was hidden in the darkness, and the hands hanging on the side of her skirt were clenched tightly, with her knuckles turning white.
The lingering heat in her body seemed to be scared away. She forced herself to calm down, took a breath, and said to Mu Xiang outside, "Find a shop and ask the driver to stop. Let's talk to the shopkeeper.
You can get out through the back door."
Mu Xiang responded.
Soon the carriage stopped in front of a rouge shop. Ruan Yuyi took Mu Xiang's hand and got out of the car. She looked calm and fell behind the girl next to her. She also walked into the shop, as if she was really just here to buy something.
Like rouge.
After hearing this, the coachman kept waiting where he was, pretending to wait for his master to return.
Because she didn't know how long it would take for the man to follow her, she couldn't help but walk faster. Fortunately, the store sold mostly women's things, so most of the people were young girls, so it should be particularly obvious when the man came in.
Ruan Yuyi looked around and saw the female shopkeeper standing behind a long table in the corner.
When he walked forward, the shopkeeper happened to raise his head, was startled for a moment, and quickly put on a smile, "What do you want to buy, girl?" She looked Ruan Yuyi up and down.
Such a well-dressed young lady with extraordinary charm must be generous when she thinks about it. Thinking of this, the smile on her face deepened.
She shook her head slightly, explained what happened in one or two sentences, and then asked, "Can I borrow the back door of your shop?"
Although she didn't show it on her face, her hands were grabbing the edges of several cases with such force that her fingertips turned white.
The shopkeeper was an enthusiastic person. Hearing what she said, he didn't dare to delay. He responded and pointed back, "Just go ahead, girl."
Her rouge is spread out here. If she can help others, it can be regarded as doing a good deed. It is just a good thing to form a good relationship.
As if she had thought of something, she came out from behind a few cases, her tone even more anxious than Ruan Yuyi's, "I'll lead you over. There's a lot of stuff piled up behind, so don't delay."
Walking to the back door, Ruan Yuyi bowed and thanked her.
The shopkeeper pushed her gently and urged, "Don't be too polite now, just hurry up and leave."
Her heart warmed, she said no more, and left with Mu Xiang. Coming out of the back door was another long street, which was much deserted than the one just now. She walked quickly, looking back uneasily from time to time.
Fortunately, there was no figure behind her, not even a few ordinary pedestrians. Just as she let go of the tension in her heart, she suddenly felt her body become weak and stumbled forward.
"Miss." Mu Xiang gave her a hand, with a worried look on her face.
Just as he was about to turn out of here, he saw a black nanmu carriage parked at the corner, with intricate carvings and patterns, half-open curtains, and a maroon horse, showing that no one was sitting inside.
Na Ma Yuan lowered his head and seemed to recognize the person when he saw him. He did not shout loudly, but made some vague sounds in his throat.
Mu Xiang concentrated on identifying it and said hesitantly, "This seems to be the Crown Prince's carriage."
Looking sideways again, I saw Ruan Yuyi lowered his eyes and said nothing, his face was stained with a strange flush, his lips were slightly open, and he was breathing out bursts of hot air, looking very uncomfortable.
Mu Xiang only regretted not watching the lady drink the medicine before leaving the house, but now there was no place for the lady to rest, let alone a medical center.
Maybe she should hold the young lady down today so that she can take care of herself first.
She thought for a moment and had no choice but to help the person into the carriage first. She thought that since it was the prince's carriage, it didn't matter if he asked the young lady to stay. Besides, the prince's highness was the reason why the young lady left the palace.
She settled Ruan Yuyi and went to find the prince and others.
Ruan Yuyi vaguely realized that she had been taken into the carriage. She leaned against the wall of the carriage, frowning slightly. She didn't know how long it had passed before she felt something shaking under her body. She didn't lean on it, and suddenly the net slid down, only to be hit by a
Hold it firmly with your hands.
She was startled and managed to half-open her eyes.
When she saw Jiang Huaiyang in front of her, she couldn't help crying. Although she was not sad, the unbearable dryness in her body made her feel aggrieved for no reason.
Especially when she knew that his eyes were falling on her, she felt like she wanted to shed tears just to look at him.
She straightened her body and grabbed his hand. The place where her fingertips touched was not as smooth as an ordinary nobleman's, but had rough and thin calluses.
But this made her suddenly feel at ease.
"It's hard?" she heard him ask.
"Yeah." She responded in a low voice. Perhaps it was because she was already feeling unwell, but just this one sound made Jiang Huaiyang recognize the charm.
He wanted to withdraw his hand, but unexpectedly she came forward, grabbed his shirt, and said softly, "Your Highness, help me——"
Yesterday, she was coaxed by him to say a lot of things that would normally be difficult to say. Now she may not be so shy anymore, and she can honestly express her appeal to the person in front of her.
After knowing what kind of medicine she had been given, he guessed that the young lady would not have the antidote in hand, so after returning to the palace, he asked the Imperial Hospital to send some.
The pills were relatively large, and her narrow throat would not be able to swallow them without water, even if she broke them into several pieces.
She felt like her whole body was about to be burned, but the person in front of her was as cold as mountain spring water. She was like a person who was short of water and almost lost her mind. She only remembered that he could relieve her discomfort, so she desperately clung to him.
She knelt between his legs, put her arms around his neck, and pulled him towards her.
Jiang Huaiyang's breathing stagnated.
This little lady has really learned the ability to seduce people deep into her bones. Even at this time, she can also perform this set of actions familiarly.
He leaned close to her ear and said in a hoarse voice, "You have to think about it, this is on a carriage. Wen Zhi and your maid are outside, and there is only a thin layer of silk between them."
He whispered, and she felt that her breath was filled with the fragrance of his body. But it didn't feel like admonishment, but more like coaxing.
