Hongli slightly parted the gap and looked out, only to see the guards standing by the carriage, the protection not being very strict.

"I'll go down now and distract them. You drive away quickly later, without any more hesitation, understand?" Xueying said calmly.

Hongli looked at her face in surprise, a little doubting in his heart. Had he misunderstood her? Was she really out worshipping Buddha and knew nothing about it, and was now doing her best to help him?

Seeing that Hongli remained silent, Xueying stood up and was about to get out of the carriage, but Hongli stopped her: "After you get out, how come I don't know that you've broken free from my control?"

Xueying felt as if her heart had been struck suddenly, and the pain was so intense that she could barely feel it anymore.

"If that's what the Fourth Prince thinks, then wait to be captured alive. Since the people chasing the Fourth Prince are so powerful, I'm afraid even a weak woman like me can't withstand them." Xueying suppressed the immense fear in her heart, suddenly pushed Hongli away, and then rushed towards the door.

Seeing that he couldn't stop Xueying, Hongli had no choice but to let her leave.

"Who are you searching? You can't even let my carriage pass! I'm going to Huangjue Temple to pray for my father and mother. What kind of reason is this to obstruct me like this!" Xueying leaned out halfway and scolded the people surrounding her carriage.

Hongli had no choice but to hide as much as possible in the space behind her to avoid being discovered. Seeing that they were still unmoved, Xueying quickly slipped out of the carriage and immediately pulled the carriage door shut.

"You can't understand what I'm saying, can you?" Xueying helped A'luo down from the ground.

"Sister, don't be angry!" Ulanara Kunjie came out of the guard room inside the city gate at this moment.

"Cousin, what do you mean by this?" Xueying asked knowingly. She knew that the people who had been chasing Hongli were sent by her father, and that setting up checkpoints here to question people entering the city was also at his behest. However, she couldn't let Hongli suspect her father, so she and Kunjie spoke in riddles.

“Sister, we are just following orders. The boss said that a gang of notorious bandits are going to enter Beijing soon, so we set up checkpoints here to strictly check everyone entering the city. Please forgive us, sister!” Kun Jie naturally couldn’t reveal his true purpose in public.

Hongli listened but couldn't detect anything suspicious. Seeing that Xueying was indeed protecting him, he gradually felt relieved.

"Cousin, you need to look carefully, is he a notorious bandit?" Xueying raised her fair face and said to Kunjie.

"Sister, may I check the inside of this carriage?" Kunjie looked towards the tightly closed carriage door.

Xueying glared at Kunjie and said, "Cousin, what do you mean by this? Are you implying that I am intentionally harboring thieves?"

Kunjie was taken aback, then quickly chuckled awkwardly, "Sister, you've misunderstood, you've misunderstood. How could you possibly be someone who harbors thieves?"

"Then in front of so many people, you want me to open the carriage door and let your soldiers search it thoroughly? My reputation as the Ulanara clan will be ruined by my cousin. I can't say whether Father will blame my cousin." Xueying knew that Kunjie was eager to please her father, so she used five points to suppress him.

Kun Jie hesitated for a moment, looking at his cousin's expression, knowing she was a woman of strong character and not to be trifled with, so he said to his soldiers, "Let her go! Sister, don't be angry, I'm just doing my duty!"
