Chapter 138
"You must pay attention to safety."
"it is good."
“Take care of yourself.”
"it is good."
"You are not allowed to bring any other men back!"
"..."
Pei Yunche pouted. Seeing that she didn't speak and her eyes were filled with tears, he thought for a moment and then changed his words, saying, "Then, then you're not allowed to bring too many back!"
Nalan Jingwen sighed helplessly and pinched his cheek.
"It's getting late, time to get going."
Pei Yunche lowered his head, released her, and nodded, forcing back his tears.
Nalan Jingwen looked at the man who had been standing to the side, smiling and watching her. She walked over to him, brushed aside the strands of hair that had fallen on his sides, and said with a hint of reproach, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
A gentle smile appeared on Rong Hengyu's lips as he took her hand and rubbed his cheek against it.
"Your Highness, I would like to see you a little longer."
"Go back to your residence quickly, I must also depart."
Rong Hengyu gently shook his head, "This servant wishes to wait until Your Highness leaves before returning."
"Your Highness, please take Hongyun with you as well, so that I can rest assured."
Nalan Jingwen looked at the neatly arranged Hongyun behind him and nodded.
"it is good."
Having another person makes things easier for her. If it weren't for Hongyun's recognition of her as its master, she would have already poached the person.
"I must go now. Take care of yourselves."
Rong Hengyu gazed at her with a gentle smile, exuding a calm and composed strength that made her feel at ease entrusting everything behind her to him.
"Your servant will be at the Prince's residence, awaiting your return."
Nalan Jingwen boarded the carriage and waved to them.
Rong Hengyu stood there, watching her leave, and Pei Yunche could no longer hold back his tears, which streamed down his face.
"Nalan Jingwen! You must come back safely!"
At this moment, all his instructions were forgotten and no longer important; he only wanted her to be safe.
As the figure receded into the distance until it became a black dot, Nalan Jingwen finally lowered the carriage curtain.
Who knows what will happen on this trip to Qilin? Why does Nangong Jiuyan want to kill her? It's different outside than in Fengtian Capital. Once she leaves, those people in the shadows will definitely start to stir. So it's not that she doesn't want to take them with her, but that she can't.
She had no time to consider so many people, and she couldn't expose her weaknesses. Moreover, the capital city was full of powerful and complex forces, and it wouldn't be so easy to hurt someone there.
I only hope that this trip to Qilin will dispel the fog surrounding it.
The carriage moved slowly. This time, Nalan Fengxing sent many people to escort the birthday gifts of Empress Qilin. She also brought many of her own people, all of whom had been trained. She always trusted Cheng He to do things.
After traveling for half a day, Hongyun suddenly knocked on the carriage.
"Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?"
Hongyun's voice was clearly hesitant. She hesitated and said, "Guard Jing... is following behind us."
Nalan Jingwen remained indifferent, his eyes showing no emotion.
"Don't worry about him."
"Yes."
Since their last unpleasant encounter, Jingchi has never appeared in front of her again, but has been secretly following her from a distance.
She didn't care whether he stayed or left, as long as he didn't appear in front of her.
This journey was unlike the previous one, where they traveled during the day and rested at night to take care of Rong Hengyu's health. They traveled for ten consecutive days and the journey went surprisingly smoothly without encountering any trouble along the way.
"Your Highness, there is a small town ahead."
"Let's find an inn to rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
As soon as they arrived in town, they saw large numbers of people rushing in the same direction, looking hurried and excited, as if they were rushing to rob money.
However, Nalan Jingwen was not interested in these matters and did not send anyone to inquire.
We found a nice inn to stay in, and during our meal, we overheard the people at the next table talking.
"It's almost time, let's finish eating and hurry up, or we'll miss our chance."
"What's the rush? There's still a while."
"Isn't it because I'm afraid someone will seize the opportunity first?"
Another woman clicked her tongue and said, "You've already married so many husbands, why do you want to marry another one?"
"Who doesn't like a beautiful woman? What's more, I heard that this one is stunningly beautiful, a true beauty. In our small place, we don't know how many years it takes to produce one like her."
"And I heard that there is no need for bidding this time. Whoever is chosen by the beauty will get a night with her."
"really?!"
"Absolutely true!"
"Then let's hurry up and go! Maybe we'll actually be selected!"
After talking, the group quickly paid the bill and left.
Nalan Jingwen ignored her and ate her meal quietly. Time passed by, and almost everyone in the shop had left before she leisurely got up to go upstairs for a bath.
He had only taken a few steps when he was stopped by several women.
In that instant, the guards in the shop gripped their weapons tightly, staring at them menacingly.
Nalan Jingwen slowly raised his eyes and calmly looked at the group.
"What brings you here?"
"My young master requests a meeting with the young lady."
"not see."
Without a second thought, she refused and walked around them to go upstairs. The women exchanged glances and suddenly reached out their hands towards her, as if trying to grab her.
Nalan Jingwen remained indifferent, his figure as swift as a shadow, dodging their hands and incidentally striking their pressure points.
He then instructed Hongyun, "Throw them out."
"Yes."
The women stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief, as if they had been subdued so easily, especially by women who looked so frail.
Ignoring their shocked gazes, Nalan Jingwen went straight upstairs.
Hot water was already prepared in the room. After taking off her clothes, she stepped into the water. In the steamy atmosphere, the fatigue of so many days was swept away, and her whole body relaxed.
She closed her eyes and leaned against the bathtub. Time passed slowly, and the sounds downstairs were undisguised and clearly audible.
"Did you see that? This beauty looks like a fairy descended from heaven. If I could have a night with him, I'd gladly die for it!"
"Look at your pathetic self! Young Master Yin has very high standards; how could he possibly be interested in you?"
The woman retorted, "What if he's blind and actually falls for me?!"
Everyone laughed.
"Let's hurry up and go. The performance has already started. Even if we don't get selected, it's good to see more of it."
As the sound faded into the distance, the woman in the bathtub slowly opened her eyes, a strange light flashing in her dark pupils. Then she stood up, her long legs stepping out of the tub, leaving behind a trail of water droplets.
She changed into the clothes on the screen, casually tied her hair into a bun, and let a few strands fall loosely over her chest and back, adding a touch of alluring charm. Her exposed skin was still damp, slightly wetting her thin red shirt and outlining a beautiful scene.
Hongyun, who was guarding the door, was slightly taken aback when she saw her come out.
"What are your orders, Miss?"
Nalan Jingwen did not answer, but went straight downstairs and out of the inn, and came to the women whose pressure points had been pressed.
"Take me to see your young master."
