Chapter 179 The ignorant little woman

As soon as he heard the noise next door, he wanted to come over, but as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw several plainclothes guards guarding the door. Just as he was about to force his way in, one of them showed him a token. Only then did he know who the person was and he didn't dare to go in for the time being.

"I'm fine, everything has been clarified. You can go back to the room first!" Yun Wansheng knew that now was not the time to talk.

As soon as Fang Zheng left, she wanted to lock the door, but found that the bolt had been kicked in. She had no choice but to pack her luggage and ask the hotel to change rooms.

The night passed without incident. Yun Wansheng woke up early in the morning to wash and dress. Just as she finished packing, Fang Zheng's voice came in: "Miss Yun, can we go now?"

"Coming!" Yun Wansheng put on her bag and walked out of the room: "Is the carriage ready?"

"It's ready. Tie it up outside the door." Fang Zheng replied as he walked.

As they were talking and passing by the door of a guest room, they suddenly saw the door was opened. Yun Wansheng instinctively turned her head to look at the person inside. When she saw who it was, she stopped in her tracks.

"Greetings to King Yu!" There was no other way. His status was there, and it was not something that an ordinary citizen like her could ignore.

"No need for formalities!" Xiahou Qing didn't expect to meet this young woman as soon as he opened the door.

"Thank you, Prince Yu. You go first!" Yun Wansheng made way for him.

"Thank you." Xiahou Qing said politely, but walked past her without any courtesy.

Yun Wansheng curled her lips slightly and followed the master and servant downstairs.

As soon as I left the inn, I saw Prince Yu's carriage and his men waiting at the door. The majestic aura made people unconsciously retreat.

Yun Wansheng originally wanted to wait for Prince Yu to get in the car and leave first before she left, but Xiahou Qing turned around and looked at her.

"Madam Yun, the robbers confessed last night. There were only a few of them yesterday, and most of them have taken control of their respective stations.

So, we're not sure if we'll encounter robbers on the road ahead? If you're not in a hurry, you can follow behind our carriage so we can have someone to look after you. "Xiahou Qing said gently.

Yun Wansheng paused for a moment after hearing this and said, "Thank you, Prince Yu. Since I know the danger ahead, I don't want to take any risks. I'll trouble you along the way."

"No problem! It's on the way anyway." With that, Xiahou Qing got on the carriage.

Yun Wansheng didn't expect that this noble prince was so easy-going, which made her feel a little good about him.

Sure enough, after only walking for half a day, they met a few beggars on the road who were staring at them. If Fang Zheng and he hurried on, they would definitely be stopped again.

Now that Prince Yu was leading the way, these beggars didn't even dare to take a step forward. They could only stand by the roadside with evasive glances and wait for them to pass.

Xiahou Qing looked at the beggars outside the carriage with a cold look in his eyes. After the carriage passed, he said, "An Bing, have someone notify the local authorities and have them apprehend the robbers pretending to be beggars along the way. If I hear about someone being robbed again, I will no longer be the local official."

"Yes!" An Bing, who was outside the carriage, accepted the order and immediately called a guard forward and gave him some instructions. After hearing this, the guard immediately rode away from the team and headed straight for the government office in front.

The sun was setting in the west and the autumn wind was blowing. A group of people entered a small town. After walking for a while, they stopped at the door of an inn.

Yun Wansheng waited for the carriage to stop, then lifted the curtain and walked out. Just at this moment, a breeze blew by, making her squint her eyes, and then she jumped off the carriage.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Prince Yu entering the inn. Yun Wansheng looked away and looked at Fang Zheng: "We'll go in after they check into their rooms."

If she went in now, it would be a little awkward. After all, they were not familiar with each other, and there was a strict rule between men and women. If a woman took the initiative to approach, it would easily lead to misunderstanding.

"Listen to Miss Yun." Fang Zheng naturally had no objection: "Miss, please wait here. I will take the carriage to the backyard of the inn and feed the horses."

"Yeah! Go ahead!"

Yun Wansheng watched him leave and waited for a moment before entering the inn.

He walked a few steps to the counter and said, "Boss, please book two upper rooms."

"Excuse me, young lady, did you come here with that distinguished guest just now?" the shopkeeper asked carefully.

"We came together, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just letting you know that they've already booked your room, so you don't need to book another one."

Yun Wansheng paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled faintly. "I'm really sorry to bother you. I owe you a favor again. Do you know where our guest room is?"

"They're in rooms 3 and 6 on the second floor. Room 3 is an upper room, and room 6 is an ordinary room. Here's the key, keep it." The shopkeeper handed her the key and signaled the waiter to take the guest upstairs.

The waiter naturally took the guest upstairs. As soon as Yun Wansheng went upstairs, she saw guards standing guard at the door in the corridor in front. She knew who lived inside.

When passing by the door of the house, he glanced at the doorplate seemingly inadvertently, and saw the word "Tian" written on it.

Two guest rooms away is her room number three. When she pushed the door open, she found the room clean, spacious and tidy.

After giving a few instructions, the waiter went to prepare the meal.

Yun Wansheng washed up and lay down on the bed to rest. She did not express her gratitude to the prince. It was better to keep a distance from some people and things. If a commoner like her showed too much, people would suspect that she had bad intentions.

Xiahou Qing in the luxurious room finished his tea and the food was served. He ate quietly alone, but his brows were slightly frowned while eating. It was obvious that the food was not to his liking, but he was not picky.

After eating, he took a short rest and came out of the shower. His handsome face was slightly gloomy, and An Bing handed him some tea.

"That woman has never been here?"

"Your Highness, that woman has not come out since she entered the house," An Bing replied.

"It's true that having a general brother is different. There's no need to curry favor with anyone." Xiahou Qing said with a mocking tone.

"Your Highness, that young woman lives in a remote area and doesn't understand the ways of the world. She must have seen that you are of noble status and was afraid of being rude, so she didn't dare to come." An Bing guessed.

"Maybe! No wonder her elder brother didn't take her to the capital to enjoy a good life. It seems he understands his sister's character."

"I think that's the case. Shangguan Lan is originally from Dongqiang. If he didn't have the support of the Regent behind him, who would obey him as the General of Cavalry? I believe he knows this very well. He is afraid that his sister will cause trouble and offend people for him, so he didn't bring her to the capital?" An Bing said self-righteously.

Xiahou Qing's cold eyes flashed with a faint light: "But that woman doesn't act like an ignorant woman."

"Your Highness, she is just a young woman who has never seen the world. You don't need to take care of her so much. Since she doesn't know how to be grateful, let her leave on her own tomorrow." An Bing said.
