"Brother Rong, it's time for these horses to eat grass. If they keep running, they will be exhausted to death." Miao Xiang felt the most sorry for these animals. They should be free and carefree by nature, but since they were controlled by humans, they began to work desperately.

"Okay. I'll go book two rooms." Rong Zhen walked into the tavern and felt something was wrong. He was afraid that Xie Yihui's people might be here too, but he did not act rashly.

"Boss, please give us two of the best guest rooms." Rong Zhen put down a few pieces of silver. The boss was so blinded by the money that his eyes almost turned up to the sky.

"Wait a moment, sir. I'll arrange it right away." The shopkeeper said, and asked the two to go to the table and have a bowl of plain noodles to warm up. It had already started snowing heavily in the capital, and they must be tired after traveling all the way.

"My two guests, please try our signature dish, Yangchun Noodles with Gravy."

The waiter placed two bowls of steaming hot noodles in front of them, with beef floating on top.

Miao Xiang was completely conquered by the aroma. She picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat it, but was stopped by Rong Zhen.

"What's wrong, Brother Rong, why don't you eat?" Miao Xiang lowered her voice and looked at him curiously. There were businessmen coming and going and eating nearby, so she was embarrassed to speak loudly, as she had never seen so many people dressed strangely.

"Don't eat it." Rong Zhen lowered his voice to remind her, using his eyes to warn her. Miao Xiang swallowed her saliva. The noodles smelled really good, but why couldn't she eat them? "Waiter, we have to go back to the room. Bring the food to the room." Rong Zhen ordered the waiter, who came running over. As long as the two gave enough silver, let alone serving a bowl of noodles, he would be willing to empty the spittoon for them.

The two returned to the house. Miao Xiang looked at him fearfully and asked, "Brother Rong, what happened to you?"

"Don't talk. When someone comes in later, we two will pretend to faint." Rong Zhen found something wrong as soon as he entered the tavern. It turned out that this tavern was not a black shop, but the group of people who came were bandits who were causing trouble nearby. They were good at disguising themselves as businessmen. Seeing that there were many customers inside, they went to the back kitchen to put some knockout drugs. He had seen this trick before, but he just didn't want to make any noise.

Sure enough, I heard someone knocking on the door. After hearing no movement in the house, he began to loot money in a big way.

After hearing the noises of those people walking away, Miao Xiang dared to slowly raise her head, shook Rong Zhen's arm, and frowned, "Brother Rong, aren't your skills very impressive? How could those people take all our money for nothing?"

"Don't alarm these people. They are just a bunch of scoundrels. If you mess with them, forget about returning to Beijing safely." After Rong Zhen said this, he poured the noodles aside.

Miao Xiang saw that Rong Zhen seemed to be in low spirits all the way and was afraid that it might have something to do with Miss Gongsun.

"Brother Rong, are you still thinking about Miss Gongsun?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because your expression has already betrayed you, Miss Gongsun, it's a wrongful death. Miao Xiang also feels that it is hard to vent her anger about this matter, but the dead cannot be resurrected. Brother Rong, please accept your condolences." Miao Xiang tried her best to comfort Rong Zhen and held his hands. Rong Zhen was a little dazed at that moment and then took his hands back.

"Rest quickly, and don't come out if you hear any noise at night."

After Rong Zhen finished speaking, he sent Miao Xiang away. Miao Xiang nodded slowly and left his room.

On the other side, someone told Xie Yihui all the information about Miaojiang.

"Gongsun Ningxue is dead, I'm afraid no one knows the whereabouts of the token." The assassin lowered his head and knelt aside and said. Xie Yihui slowly stood up and kicked him hard on the shoulder, "Didn't I tell you to capture him alive? How come he's dead?"

"Please calm down, sir. We don't know why Gongsun appeared in the home of a Miao family, and it seems that the family has been practicing Gu magic for generations."

Xie Yihui narrowed his shrewd eyes. It seemed that Rong Zhen had found the woman. However, whether he could save Gu Yunru or not, that depended on the woman's ability.

"Forget it. Since they have already returned to Beijing, let's not alert them anymore."

Xie Yihui rescinded his promise. After all, after returning to Beijing, Rong Zhen's spies were everywhere. If they traced the case back to him, he would probably not end up well.

"yes."

One day, the sun was shining brightly, the ice and snow had melted, and the people were walking back and forth on the street when they saw two foals coming from outside the city. They all made way for the two people. Miao Xiang looked at the prosperous capital and her eyes lit up.

"There are so many people here, why are you all looking at me?" Miao Xiang looked at the scrutinizing eyes of the crowd. Some people were full of curiosity and kept looking at her. It turned out that her attire of silver jewelry was different from that of the Han people. They all wore short coarse linen clothes and were efficient at their work, but Miao Xiang's seemed a little cumbersome. One could tell at a glance that she was different from others.

"Your Highness! You are finally back!" The housekeeper was waiting at the gate of the mansion. He had received a letter from the prince via carrier pigeon early in the morning, saying that he would be back today. However, the princess has not woken up yet. It was really a difficult situation.

When Miao Xiang saw this magnificent mansion, his eyes widened. There were two stone lions standing at the door, which looked extremely majestic. He didn't expect that his home was actually here. The high steps and the wide red door were really eye-opening.

"Who is this girl?" The butler looked at the dressed-up woman and couldn't help but look at her curiously. Miao Xiang adjusted her clothes, touched her chest and smiled at him, "Hello, my name is Miao Xiang."

"No, no, since you are a distinguished guest brought back by the prince, you have no right to bow to me." The butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It was a very cold day, but he was sweating profusely.

Rong Zhen led Miao Xiang into the mansion. Miao Xiang looked at the pavilions, waterside pavilions, lotus pond and pavilions and couldn't help being dazzled. She didn't expect that there was a scene like mountains, rivers and forests here, except that the road was paved with stones.

If she were to wander around here alone, she would surely be dazzled. At this time, Rong Zhen had already brought Miao Xiang into Ginkgo Garden and saw Gu Yunru still lying on the bed, as if she had slept for a long time. Qingfeng looked at this extraordinary woman that the prince brought from Miaojiang, frowning curiously.

"My name is Miao Xiang..." When Miao Xiang saw someone staring at her with such a strange look, she would extend her hand in a friendly manner, but the other party did not respond and then shifted her gaze to the woman lying on the bed.
