The night in the capital is different from that in Yangcheng. It seems that there is never a quiet moment.

It really is a city that never sleeps.

Miss Jun calmed down, got up and got out of bed.

Liu'er was sleeping soundly on the bed by the window.

This is an ordinary inn. The best room has two beds, but it is very clean. Just as marked on the map of Beijing, if you have some money and don't want to suffer but want to be low-key, this is the first choice.

They came over from the street to check in, washed up neatly, and asked the waiter to order two bowls of noodle soup, a duck and two side dishes from the noodle soup shop next door. The master and servant sat opposite each other in the room, ate comfortably, and then fell asleep.

Because of the previous journey to Runan, Miss Jun's body had already adapted to the weather, so she recovered her energy after a good sleep, but Liu'er could not.

Miss Jun stood beside the bed, looking at the soundly sleeping Liu'er, picked up the thin sheet that she had kicked off the bed and put it around her waist.

The windows were wide open, and the moonlight spread across the sky and earth, complementing the lights that never went out all night and embellishing the laughter and chatter.

This is the capital, this is the capital.

She has arrived in the capital.

Miss Jun turned around, put on her clothes, opened the door and walked out.

The inn is always open day and night, and there are many guests enjoying the nightlife. Miss Jun walked into the night, passing by the people coming in and out of the lobby.

After midnight, although there were still people walking on the streets, it was still not as lively as during the day. Except for a few busy streets and brothels, all other places were in a deep sleep.

Miss Jun passed through the city gate, walked east along the street, and then walked north through an alley.

There are no bright lights here, only moonlight paving the way. This is not a downtown area, and there is no indication on the map of Beijing that there are any unique places to eat, drink and have fun here.

After crossing a street, two different worlds appear before your eyes.

On one side, the lights are bright like a fairyland on earth, while on the other side, it is quiet and sleepy, inviolable.

She didn't need to look for a map to get to the capital. She knew this was the busiest night market street. The center of the capital, and that was Yu Street.

There were government offices, the imperial palace, and her home.

Miss Jun stood in the night, watching motionlessly.

My elder sister is a very rigid person. She has a very regular schedule and is very strict with Jiuqi.

They must be asleep by now.

However, I wonder if Jiuqi will secretly hide in the bathroom to play, just like she did before.

But no matter what, my sister would always find out and give me a lecture.

A smile appeared on Miss Jun's lips.

I don't know how long I stood there. A patrol team came over from the other side in the night.

There were guards patrolling the city openly, and there were even more guards secretly, including the Jinyi Guards and the Imperial Guards.

Miss Jun lowered her head and turned to walk towards the night market. The patrol team passed by her, and the lanterns in front of the horses illuminated the place. Someone even noticed her and raised the lantern to her.

Miss Jun turned her head and took a few steps to the side of the road.

Women walking on the streets at night are either prostitutes soliciting customers or invited to private banquets, or daughters of people making a living in the night market.

The girl is described as pretty. She is not dressed flashily, so it is obviously not the former.

The patrolmen turned their eyes away and walked past her.

Miss Jun then raised her head and looked at them. The place they were going to was also the night market street.

The streets are brightly lit on summer nights, the flower boats in the river passing through the streets are dazzling, and the sounds of string music and laughter float on the river.

Miss Jun stood on the bridge and looked at the flower boats under the bridge. The smell of wine and perfume filled her face with the night breeze.

She knew very well what this flower boat was used for, so she was not curious, but she was not shy about it either.

There is nothing to be ashamed of. Not only does she know about it, she has also been there.

Of course it was her master who took her there.

The flower boat owner was surprised to see her following behind her master.

"Children, you need to know everything, so that you can be immune to all poisons." The master said seriously.

Of course she knew that her master's goal was to make her, a precious princess, leave in shame.

But is she the kind of person who could be easily embarrassed?

The princess's precious body is immune to all poisons.

She sat unceremoniously in the flower boat, watching the prostitutes in scantily clad clothes singing and dancing.

The singing and dancing on the flower boat are quite nice, and the food is also quite delicious.

Thinking of this, Miss Jun couldn't help but smile. She smelled the aroma of roasted food coming from somewhere. She withdrew her gaze from the flower boat, jumped off the bridge step by step, and turned to the street here.

Most of the shops on the street were closed, and there were more temporary stalls set up on the street. Fires were burning, and lanterns were flickering, illuminating the people walking in groups of three or four on the street.

These stalls were selling all kinds of food. Miss Jun also saw the patrol team that just passed by were sitting on a stall, eating, drinking and chatting.

"Miss, would you like to try it?" the vendor greeted.

Miss Jun shook her head and looked over.

She wanted to eat along the way, but she came out casually and didn't bring any money.

But it was quite interesting to watch along the way.

Who would have thought that she would be wandering the streets of the capital after midnight.

Neither the sister and brother could have thought of it, Lu Yunqi could not have thought of it, and neither could the emperor.

She couldn't think of it herself.

Three or four drunken men staggered past, laughing crookedly and singing a little tune they had learned from somewhere. They lined up in a row and took up the entire street. Miss Jun avoided them and retreated to the entrance of an alley, watching the group of drunks pass by with a smile on her face.

So this is what the night in the capital is like.

I was standing at the entrance of the alley, taking a break, wondering whether to go back or continue walking around, when I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the alley behind me.

This is a busy street with few people living here. There are either teahouses, taverns or some places for women. Miss Jun looked back and saw that the alley was a little dim, with only a few lanterns hanging not far away, swaying slowly.

There was a faint sound of laughter coming from inside.

There were four or five people walking in the alley, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin, all men.

I don’t know which house he came out of, but he didn’t walk towards the street. Instead, he turned his back and walked inside.

Miss Jun glanced at him, withdrew her gaze and lifted her foot.

"…Why would I lie to you? You were right to listen to me…"

A male voice came from the alley, sounding a little unhappy, with a slightly higher pitch.

Miss Jun put down her feet and turned her head again. Someone walked by at the corner of the street holding a lantern, which shone on Miss Jun's surprised face.

What a coincidence?

Zhu Zan?

She looked at the tallest figure among the people in the dim alley.

Although it is dim and unclear, and although it is getting farther and farther away, you can recognize it if you look carefully.

Zhu Zan.

Why did he come to the capital?

The emperor wanted the Imperial Guard to capture him and bring him to the capital, but he ran away halfway.

Even if the most dangerous place is the safest place, you shouldn't come to Beijing. It would be safer even if you wander around Henan or Shanxi.

What does this guy want to do?

Miss Jun looked at the people walking further and further away along the alley, hesitated for a moment, turned around and followed them.
