Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the house, she suddenly felt a burning gaze falling on her.

Chu Qingluan paused slightly and turned her head to look in the direction of the old locust tree.

Zhixia also seemed to have sensed something, but she saw nothing.

"Princess?"

Chu Qingluan winked at her, and Zhixia understood and immediately turned around and walked towards the old locust tree.

However, at this moment, a guard's stern voice suddenly came from behind the tree: "Stop! Who are you? Why are you trespassing in the post station?"

Qin Yuan lowered his head and handed over the document in his hand, deliberately lowering his voice: "I am here on the orders of Jingzhao Yi to deliver a copy of the customs clearance document."

The guard took the document suspiciously and looked through it. When he was about to ask, Zhixia came over.

When he saw Qin Yuan's profile with his head down, he couldn't help but be stunned!

His Royal Highness Qin?

Wasn't he under house arrest? Why was he here in this Border Town Inn?

Could it be that...

Zhixia thought about it for a moment and understood what was going on.

She immediately coughed lightly and covered the smile at the corner of her lips with her sleeve.

"This document was requested by the princess. You go to the East Courtyard to inspect first. I have a few words to ask him." She said to the guards.

The guard hesitated for a moment, then quickly handed over the document and bowed to take his leave.

After the guards had left, Zhixia burst out laughing.

"Your Highness Qin, if you want to play the role of a minor official next time, it would be best to hide this eye-catching outfit first."

Qin Yuan nodded slightly as a greeting.

Zhixia glanced around and made sure that no one was there before she said, "The princess is inside. Please go in quickly and remember not to delay too long."

Qin Yuan bowed to Zhixia and said, "Thank you very much!"
