A lonely city

Luo Jin was stunned, "Take me... for what?"

"I'm afraid you'll run into trouble on the way. You're a lucky star, so I'll have better luck taking you with me." Chai Jing smiled, "Second brother is my only brother from the same mother. He and I are the closest, so of course I have to think about him."

[Will it be dangerous? I'm such a weak woman, what if the West Yuan Kingdom sends a master to rob Jiang Ge and kill me by the way? ]

[I'm not a lucky star, I don't have the halo of a protagonist, I will really die if I meet a bad guy! ]

[Think of a reason to refuse, quickly...]

[Pretend to be sick, yes, pretend to be sick, pretend to be dying, he can't carry me there, right? ]

"One hundred taels a day." Chai Jing continued.

"I swear to follow the Second Prince until death!"

"..."

Before leaving for Xiyuan, the subordinates reported that Jiang Ge wanted to see Qin Huaying again.

Chai Heng considered for a long time, and finally agreed, and took Jiang Ge to the bottom of the sky prison.

Luo Jin didn't know why she was called here again. She is currently a worker with a very positive work attitude, so when the boss asked her to follow, she followed.

Qin Huaying's complexion was much better than before. She finally gave up the struggle and ate well and took care of the baby. But at this time she had no intention of dressing herself up, and still looked haggard.

Her affairs were not spread, and even her father, Qin Taishi's official position was not affected at all.

When she saw Jiang Ge, she lowered her head, turned around, and her shoulders trembled slightly. It was obvious that she was crying.

Jiang Ge didn't say anything, and sighed for a long time, "You... take care."

Qin Huaying said "hmm" lightly.

Jiang Ge turned and left.

Luo Jin followed him, tilting his head curiously and asked, "You may not see each other again in the future, why don't you say a few more words?"

Jiang Ge frowned, "She doesn't like people to see her ugly face."

Luo Jin pouted, "She will disappear when she gets old and ugly? No... When I saw her before, she was even uglier than this. Doesn't she treat me as a human being?"

Chai Heng sent Luo Jin back to Lihuayuan to pack up, as they would set out for Xiyuan Country early tomorrow morning.

Chai Jing pulled Chai Heng into the house and instructed: "Take good care of my Jin'er and don't let her lose a single hair."

"Don't worry, there are many experts with us this time, she will be fine." Chai Heng looked at Luo Jin's room, "You asked me to bring her along because you think she may know something, right?"

Chai Jing shrugged and said, "Maybe, but that's not my intention."

"Then why did you ask me to bring her along?"

"I want..." Chai Jing smiled mysteriously, "to let you see what a normal girl is like, so that you don't keep thinking about that vicious woman Qin Huaying. In fact, I have disliked her for a long time. She is pretentious and pretentious all day long. I don't know why you like this kind of woman."

Chai Heng frowned and said, "Let's do business, don't mess around."

"I'm not talking nonsense," Chai Jing's tone became serious, "You just haven't seen the world, that's why you like someone like Qin Huaying. Take my Jin'er, although she is a little greedy, gluttonous and lazy, but for some reason, she is very likable. You will know when you get in touch with her. I believe that after all this time, she will definitely make you forget about Qin Huaying."

Chai Heng was stunned and suddenly stood up, "You don't want me to... marry her as a concubine, do you?"

"Tsk, you wish!" Chai Jing rolled her eyes at him, "I just want her to soothe your wounded soul. Be your concubine? You are repaying kindness with enmity, right? She is also the benefactor who saved both of us brothers and sisters. Sooner or later, I will find a very good marriage for her."

Chai Heng was silent.

If it weren't for Luo Jin, he would have proposed to Qin Huaying by now, and the ending would probably be what Luo Jin said, raising Jiang Ge's son, and then dying at the hands of Qin Huaying. He would even be used by Qin Huaying to get confidential information about national affairs, harming the entire Dongyuan.

His sister Chai Jing might also have a tragic fate because she married the wrong person. But Luo Jin changed all that, and it must be said that she is their benefactor.

The next morning, Chai Heng's men drove a carriage to pick up Luo Jin.

Chai Jing had never paid much attention to Luo Jin, the little palace maid, before, but since she heard her voice, she was reluctant to leave Luo Jin after spending the past few days with her.

"Take care of yourself on the road," Chai Jing waved, and Nanny Zhao handed over a small bundle, "Here are some cakes I prepared for you, eat them if you're hungry on the road."

Luo Jin took the bundle, "Thank you, Princess."

[The princess is so nice, totally different from the novels! ]

[Bring her some local specialties when you come back... Just don't make them too expensive, never mind, a little more expensive is fine. ]

[Hope you have a safe journey and make a lot of money! ]

Chai Jing couldn't help but smile.

This money-grubber was willing to spend money to buy her a gift, it was really rare.

...

The carriage left the city and joined Chai Heng.

Chai Heng's team had a total of five carriages, plus more than thirty horses, forming a mighty team.

Jiang Ge sat in the largest carriage, and there were three guards on the carriage with him to keep watch and ensure that he had no chance to escape.

The destination of the convoy was a small border town called Shacheng, which was a border town between Xiyuan Kingdom and Dongyuan Kingdom. It was a buffer zone agreed upon by the two countries, and neither side had troops stationed there.

Shacheng was several hundred miles away from Weicheng, the capital of Dongyuan Kingdom, and it would take seven or eight days to get there by carriage.

"You come with me in a carriage." Chai Heng pointed to the carriage beside him, "This carriage is more stable."

"Yes!" Luo Jin responded.

She found out after getting on the carriage that it didn't look very big from the outside, but it was surprisingly spacious inside, with tables, chairs, bookcases, and even a couch to sleep on.

Chai Heng had been reading a book all the way, while Luo Jin was dozing off beside him. When she woke up, she found food on the table and reached out to take it, but suddenly remembered her identity and retracted her hand. She turned around and looked at Chai Heng eagerly, blinking her eyes desperately.

Chai Heng just thought it was funny, "Eat it, eat whatever you want."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Luo Jin picked up a chicken leg and started to chew it without any hesitation.

[The chicken legs are a little dry. If you fry them in batter, they won't be so dry.]

[The Second Prince is gentle and handsome, but he has bad taste and likes Qin Huaying, that green tea girl. But now he is fine, and he can be said to have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.]

[I am so tired, my neck is sore, and this carriage is so bumpy.]

[It would be great if there was a high-speed rail, it wouldn't take two hours to travel this short distance.]

[The Second Prince is still reading, it turns out he works so hard... but he doesn't seem to be very smart.]

Chai Heng coughed violently.

"Your Highness, drink some water!" Luo Jin handed over the cup of water very attentively, "Just drink some water."

Chai Heng took the cup of water a little depressed and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your Highness, are you unhappy?" Luo Jin took the teacup with a smile, "Are you thinking about Miss Qin again?"

"No." Chai Heng said in a muffled voice. After

he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned.

He did not lie, he really did not think of Qin Huaying.

He had been paying attention to Luo Jin's thoughts along the way, and unconsciously shifted his attention. But even if Luo Jin brought it up now, he would not feel the heartache he had before.

"I heard that the best way to heal a broken heart is to start a new relationship," Luo Jin couldn't stop talking once he started, "Why don't I introduce a good girl to Your Highness? I have a very good eye and I will definitely not make a mistake!"

[Speaking of which, someone who is more suitable for the Second Prince... I remember that Ke'er also married a scumbag, but she was not a love-brained person, so she later got over it with the help of the heroine, without BE, um...]

[But she is the daughter of a minor official. Will the Second Prince be concerned about her status? The old emperor doesn't seem to be very feudal. He shouldn't dislike his daughter-in-law's low status, right? ]

[Maybe he will directly promote her father. I've done a good thing, right? ]

[Am I a genius? ]

[Anyway, I think it's okay to match these two people together! 】

Chai Heng: "..."

He knew that Luo Jin's inner drama was always rich, but it was too rich.

Judging from the surface, he thought she was a quiet girl. But he felt that her quiet appearance might just be due to his status, and she didn't dare to speak casually.

He suddenly had a wish: if she could talk as much as her inner drama, it would be great. If she was willing to say these words in person, he would think it was a blessing in this life.

Luo Jin felt sleepy after eating, and she asked tentatively: "I... Can I sleep on that couch?"

"Go."

"Okay!"

Luo Jin lay on the couch, and soon her breathing became even and she fell asleep.

Chai Heng put down the book and stared at her sleeping face blankly.

This little palace maid was particularly good at taking advantage of the situation. After giving her food, she dared to ask for sleeping on the couch. If it were someone else, he would feel very unhappy.

But for some reason, when Luo Jin did this, he only felt it was interesting and not disgusted at all.

The carriage stopped, and the driver said outside the carriage: "Your Highness, we have arrived at the posthouse."

"Okay, pass the order, rest here tonight, and continue on the road tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

The driver lifted the curtain, put down the stool, and glanced into the carriage inadvertently. His eyes almost fell out in an instant.

"Your Highness, she...how dare she..." The driver lowered his voice, "Your Highness never lets others touch his bed, even if it is a temporary bed in the carriage..."

The driver's name is A Xuan, and he is Chai Heng's bodyguard. He has followed Chai Heng for many years and knows that his master has some cleanliness obsessions.

Chai Heng said with a straight face, "What else? Where do you let her sleep?"

"Uh... does she have to sleep during the day? She has a place to sleep at night..."

Ah Xuan didn't understand. She was just a palace maid, how dare she ask for a nap on the way? Whose palace maid is used to this?

Chai Heng didn't answer, but ordered, "Arrange a separate room for her, prepare a bath, and get more delicious food."

Ah Xuan: "???"
