The journey to Liuzhou is more than three months. By the time they arrive halfway, Nangong Jing should have been there for a month and a half. This period of time is enough for Nangong Jing to deploy his troops in Liuzhou and prepare for the abdication if he has to.
"Miss, if we go to Liuzhou after March, what should we do if the young master is not there?" Xuchun remembered what Lin Jiuxi taught her. Looking at the inconspicuous Lin Jiuxi, she felt helpless. Outside the capital, not many people recognized her.
Even if other people saw her, at most they would just think she was a rare beauty. Outside, they only knew her as the Fool Princess. However, very few people had seen Lin Jiuxi, and outside the capital, very few people could recognize her.
But Lin Jiuxi obviously didn't think so. Her eyes were slightly curved, and she looked very gentle, like a beautiful girl from a small family: "Then keep looking, to find him after all."
Nangong Jing's eyes were still unclear for a while. She wanted to figure out what was going on. What's more, the two of them had already made an agreement, so they naturally couldn't break it without reason.
Xuchun looked at her, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he shut up and said nothing. Perhaps, to some extent, the princess was sincere to the prince.
At night, the master and servant found an inn to rest. Lin Jiuxi glanced at the waiter suspiciously. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the waiter's eyes were malicious, as if he had some plans.
Unexpectedly, Bai Hengqiu only glanced at her indifferently, and was stunned by this glance. For some reason, although this was a woman he had only met once, he had the illusion that he had seen her somewhere before.

Obviously, no one can leave.
Lin Jiuxi really wanted to bring the assassin back, break his hands and feet, and throw him out to feed the wolves. Before she could even open her mouth, everything was taken care of: "I am no longer a princess. My husband used to think I was ugly and had already expelled me from the palace. The emperor was on good terms with the prince, and he couldn't bear to see me offend the prince, so he sent people to hunt me down."
Even Lin Jiuxi had never expected such a sudden change. He quietly put the things in his hand back and looked at the young man with curiosity, but the latter did not say anything.
As soon as these words came out, the guard's face turned pale. This place was just outside the capital, and it would take more than half a day to arrive. Why not a day? Wouldn't it mean that the emperor had to wait for him for a few days?
"Entering a guest's room in the middle of the night is very rude." Lin Jiuxi held the medicine bottle in her hand. If the visitor dared to get any closer, don't blame her for being rude.
"Hmm." He didn't ask so frivolously. Even though the girl in front of him looked 50% like an old friend of his, there were at least a hundred people who looked like him. How could he trust anyone in this vast world? "I just heard that you are the princess?"
The young man in white seemed to be reluctantly satisfied with Lin Jiuxi's politeness. He put away his sword and glanced at the two of them, finally landing on the guard: "Go back and tell the emperor that Bai Hengqiu will arrive in the capital soon."
Lin Jiuxi secretly clicked his tongue. Being loyal is a good thing, but being blindly loyal is doing good things with bad intentions. The three of them stood like this for a long time. Finally, the guard lost his patience, glared at Lin Jiuxi, and left in a hurry.
Lin Jiuxi slowly closed her shirt and got off the bed. She didn't know what to say for a moment. In this situation, could it be that the dog emperor had made enemies with the outside world, and these people came here while investigating? "My lord, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Lin Jiuxi's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and her fingertips rubbed and brushed away the last trace of dust. But the next moment, the sword moved to her neck.
"The princess left the capital without permission. The emperor is worried that he will not be able to explain to Prince Duan. Please ask the princess to return to the capital." The man dressed as a waiter raised his head. His eyes were as vicious as a poisonous snake, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Then don't blame me for not knowing the seriousness of the matter and hurting the princess." These words implied that force was to be used. Lin Jiuxi was on guard. She stared at the guard, always on guard against him attacking her.
After all this commotion, Lin Jiuxi knew that she was saved by Bai Hengqiu today by mistake, so she politely bowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you very much for saving me, young master. I will never forget it."
"I am acting on the emperor's orders. Who are you to dare to openly challenge the imperial power?" The guard looked very shrewd. He must have used these words to threaten others many times, so it came out very smoothly for him now.
The young master was too lazy to pay attention to him. His eyes narrowed and the tip of the sword pointed directly at his throat, as if another stroke would cut it off directly: "Stop talking nonsense."
"What if I don't go back?" Lin Jiuxi rubbed his fingertips carefully, then quietly poured some medicine powder into his hands. Although it was not fatal, it could cause temporary blindness.
"The capital is under the feet of the emperor. You will probably have to report to the emperor once you enter the capital. How can you tell the emperor in advance?" The guard was really stubborn and didn't care at all about Bai Hengqiu's slightly changed expression.
If he wanted to take action by force, he would have some ability to resist. It's just a pity to waste these medicines. If he had to use them as sand, they would only be more blinding than sand.
It was not until midnight that Lin Jiuxi finally realized that the feeling was not an illusion.
He didn't know where he came from, his name, or his identity. He was completely clueless. Lin Jiuxi sighed secretly and moved to the side of the couch obediently: "Sir, if you want to talk, just talk. Don't play with swords. It would be bad if someone gets hurt by mistake."
The half-closed door was pushed open again, and a young man in white entered the room. He had cold eyes and tightly pursed lips. He stepped on the bright moon, like a banished immortal. But such a man now held a sword and pointed it at the guard's neck: "Get lost."
Ugly appearance, dirty eyes.
Bai Hengqiu looked at the beautiful girl in front of him in silence. He knew that she was lying and refused to tell him, so he did not force her: "Young lady, please respect yourself. Goodbye."
Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, Lin Jiuxi grabbed his sleeve and said, "Mr. Bai, I have nowhere to go now. I was lucky to escape this time, but I don't know if I can be so lucky next time. If I can..."
"No." Bai Hengqiu refused bluntly, with a hint of impatience between his brows, and he didn't intend to listen to Lin Jiuxi finish his words.
It was nothing more than asking him to take her with him, or to leave something for her to defend herself. Of course, she couldn't even think about such a thing.
