"Yes, Your Majesty," the shadow guard replied respectfully, and after reporting, he disappeared again.
In the darkest hour before dawn, a prison cart was escorted out of the Ninth Prince's mansion.
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao disguised themselves as guards and, together with Wuhen, Wushang and other secret guards, followed the prison cart to an ordinary courtyard near the south gate.
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao personally patrolled the surrounding area.
Once they were sure no one was following them, the two returned to the yard.
Just then, a carriage arrived in the courtyard, carrying a coffin.
Dressed in burial clothes and made up as a dead man, Shan Yu He Ye stood beside the coffin, waiting for Shang Xi Ye and Ji Feng Yao to return.
As soon as Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao arrived, Shanyu Heye pulled Wushang down to kneel down, choking back tears as he said, "Your subordinate Heye thanks Your Highness and Princess for your life-saving assistance!"
"Get up quickly!" Ji Fengyao hurriedly stepped forward to help Shanyu Heye up, and teased him softly, "Don't cry, you'll ruin your makeup. If you encounter unreasonable guards at the city gate when it's light and they insist on checking you, it'll be a real problem."
"Pfft!" Shanyu Heye was amused and burst into laughter through his tears. He held Ji Fengyao's hand affectionately and said, "Your Highness, Heye will miss you. The struggle in the capital has reached a stalemate, and danger lurks everywhere. Your Highness and Your Highness, please be careful."
Ji Fengyao waved her small hand with a bandit-like air and said, "It's alright. I'm a lawless bandit. There are very few people who can fight me. You just go to Cangzhou and stay there peacefully. Once things in the capital are settled, the prince and I will take Wushang to Cangzhou to get married and reunite you two!"
"Heye, thank you, Your Highness!"
As Shanyu Heye was about to kneel again, Ji Fengyao stopped him in time: "You should change this habit in the future. Don't kneel so easily. If you really consider me a sister, don't do this anymore. I don't like it."
"Okay, I won't do it again," Shanyu Heye agreed with a smile through his tears.
Ji Fengyao then took out a storage ring from her storage space and put it on Shanyu Heye's head, saying, "Wu Shang will teach you the incantation and mental techniques of the 'Gathering Spirit Technique' on the way. There are some pills and spirit stones in here. The pill bottles have labels for you to use, so you can see them at a glance. As for the spirit stones, you'll have nothing to do during your time in Cangzhou, so you can use them to focus on your cultivation. If you encounter anything in the future, you'll be able to protect yourself."
Shanyu Heye is unaware of the value of spirit stones, but Wushang does.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this is unacceptable..."
"Oh ho, you've gotten bold, daring to tell me what to do now!" Ji Fengyao glared at her playfully and said, "This is for Sister He Ye, you're not allowed to covet it!"
Having said that, he said to Shanyu Heye in a serious tone, "Sister Heye, you are not allowed to give him a single pill or spirit stone here, understand?"
Wu Shang's eyes reddened slightly: "...This subordinate dares not!"
"No, no, you still look so wronged," Wuhen laughed and kicked him in the butt.
Wu Shang pouted, his voice slightly nasal, and said with a silly dog-like expression, "I like it when the princess teases me. I'm asking for teasing online, is that not allowed?"
"Alright, it's getting late. Get ready, we'll set off at daybreak." Shang Xiye patted Wu Shang's shoulder, his gaze gentle: "Take good care of your wife, and be careful on the road."
In one sentence, both Wu Shang and Shan Yu He Ye blushed.
The rooftops not far away.
Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao sat side by side, watching the people saying goodbye in the courtyard from afar.
Ji Fengming sighed softly, "She's already taken care of everything as soon as she got back to the capital. It seems Yao'er is planning something big."
