Chapter 15 Because This Princess Likes
"For example, what he just said, 'Bah, that's nonsense!' If he were truly a vulgar scoundrel, wouldn't 'nonsense' be more appropriate to his context?"
Xu Mubai was shocked and carefully considered what Su Yunyao said at this moment.
He naturally realized that there was something wrong with this man, otherwise he would not have asked the guards to follow him when he left.
But the eldest princess was a notorious fool who was uneducated and couldn't even write properly.
How could you understand all this so meticulously?
"Don't worry, Princess. I have already asked the guards to catch up."
Jinjinglou is the largest gold building in Shengjing. There are many precious ornaments on display in the store, and it is usually guarded by guards.
In addition, this store originally belonged to the eldest princess, and these guards were personally appointed by the emperor.
Each of them is a great martial arts master.
I believe this matter will soon have some results.
If the man covered in patches just now was just a spy for Jin Manlou, it would be fine, but he kept asking to meet the owner of Jin Jinglou...
It inevitably raises doubts.
Xu Mubai sent Su Yunyao to the door of Jinjing Tower, took out a purple-toothed black plum blossom hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Princess, this is for you."
Su Yunyao was stunned for a moment, and then she understood when she saw the plum blossom on the hairpin.
Isn’t this the hairpin that Xu Mubai told her about when she first arrived at the store, and the hairpin that Lin Miaomiao has been holding in her hand ever since?
"There are two of these hairpins?" Su Yunyao was surprised, but quickly rejected the idea. "That's not right. If there were two of these hairpins, you wouldn't have said at the beginning that a customer was looking at the hairpin."
"Princess, Lord Shen bought so many hairpins that Miss Lin could wear them all month long without repeating a single one. I won't sell him this one."
Xu Mubai's voice was like a spring breeze. Hearing that Su Yunyao was in a good mood, she walked up to Xu Mubai and raised her hand to pinch his cheek.
"Is it because Lord Shen bought a lot and I didn't sell it to him, or is it because I like it and I kept it for me?"
Xu Mubai's expression changed slightly. The place where Su Yunyao pinched him felt like it was on fire, burning his cheeks.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at her, even more afraid that she would see his embarrassment and shame. "As long as the princess likes it."
Su Yunyao pinched his cheek again, "I like it, I like it very much, I like it especially, I like it the most..."
Before he finished speaking.
She saw Huo Xiao standing in front of the carriage out of the corner of her eye and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
The smile on Su Yunyao's lips had not faded.
She walked quickly to Huo Xiao and asked, "How is Mr. Huo? Is he awake?"
Faced with her sudden approach, Huo Xiao took a small step back calmly. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and greeted her politely.
"The imperial physician has already given my elder brother some fumigation medicine, but Imperial Physician Li said that he wouldn't wake up so soon. After fumigating my elder brother, I didn't see the princess. The princess asked me to look for her. Why didn't you tell me that the princess came to Jinjing Tower?"
Huo Xiao lowered his eyes, his ink-like pupils reflecting her figure, making it impossible to tell his emotion, but Su Yunyao vaguely felt that he seemed angry.
She took another step toward him.
In an instant, the distance between them was shortened again.
When Su Yunyao stood in front of Huo Xiao, she realized that this general was so tall, a head taller than her.
Isn’t this the legendary athlete who is 188cm tall and has eight-pack abs?
Su Yunyao couldn't wait to see him naked.
"Doctor Li asked me to step aside, so I came out for a walk."
After a pause, she asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"without……"
Huo Xiao's chest rose and fell for a moment, and he let out a long breath, as if trying to suppress the obscure emotions churning in his heart.
He also didn't understand why he went looking for the eldest princess when he didn't see her after walking out of the inner room of the inn.
When he heard the waiter at the inn say that she had left in a carriage and was not heading to the princess's mansion.
He somehow found his way here.
After finally finding the princess' carriage, he was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw...
"It's getting late. I will escort the princess back to her residence."
"OK."
Su Yunyao smiled and got on the carriage. She sat in the carriage and waited for a long time, but did not see Huo Xiao come up.
Su Yunyao lifted the curtain and saw him standing motionless beside the carriage.
"Come up!"
Go up...go up?
Huo Xiao's eyes trembled fiercely, "Princess, you can't do that. Your body is worth a lot of gold. How can I ride in the same carriage with you? Your Highness, you ride in the carriage, and I will accompany you."
Accompanying?
Hearing these two words, Su Yunyao couldn't help but frowned, "Didn't you say you would escort me back home? Why? You're so far away from me and you still call it escort?"
Huo Xiao was very puzzled, "Princess, what do you mean?"
"General Huo has always used precise words. Since it means escort, then it means protect and send."
Huo Xiao: ???
Is this how escort is understood?
Su Yunyao opened her red lips slightly, "Don't protection require close protection? How can you protect me when you're so far away? What if someone in the carriage directly covers my mouth or knocks me unconscious, will you notice? And those masters can walk through walls and become invisible."
Wall-walking and invisibility?
Huo Xiao was puzzled, "I have never heard of these tricks."
"Never heard of it? Such a simple trick?"
Looking at Su Yunyao's surprised expression, Huo Xiao felt a little self-doubted for a moment.
Do these martial arts really exist?
As the name suggests, wall-walking is the art of passing through the other side of the wall.
"What is invisibility then?"
"You're a martial artist, after all, and you don't even know the art of invisibility? The art of invisibility is to make someone disappear in a flash, then reappear in front of you in a flash, and then disappear again in a flash..."
Huo Xiao: ...
Su Yunyao covered her chest with one hand and said in a panic, "Not only did he disappear in a flash, he also took away my arms, my legs, my coat, my jacket, my heart, my liver, my red beans and dried radishes..."
Huo Xiao: ...
"General Huo, do you still think it's safe for me to sit alone in the carriage?"
Huo Xiao was speechless.
He got on the carriage simply because he was eager to learn about the art of invisibility.
Xu Mubai looked at the carriage going farther and farther away, his eyes deepening. He reached out and touched his cheek. The place where the princess had just pinched it still seemed to retain the warmth of her fingertips, and it felt faintly hot.
At this moment, the guard who had followed the man covered in patches came back.
"Shopkeeper Xu, I followed that man all the way to the end of Tongxin Lane and saw him enter a house with an old woman in it. It seemed that the man was really short of money, so he brought this bracelet to sell..."
