Mingyan glanced at Xuan Heng and distanced herself: "Huh, men and women cannot be intimate."

Xuan Heng didn't say anything. Instead, he sat down shamelessly and looked at Mingyan: "Princess, I'm in a foreign country now, aren't you going to take me in?"

"You are really good at planning!" Mingyan snorted coldly, "Since Your Majesty can sneak out of the capital and come to this palace, then it must be no problem to return directly to the Later Qin Kingdom with your skills, right? That's right. Don’t be miserable here in this palace.”

Seeing that Mingyan was not coming in, Xuan Heng said again: "If I go back directly, I'm afraid it will make your father uneasy again."

"Humph, that's good if you know."

Xuanheng knelt down and looked at Mingyan again, talking about the scandal of Mingyan's childhood: "Yan'er, do you still remember that when you were a child, you were lying on the big tree in the imperial garden, but accidentally fell down and hit it? Was it the body of Taifu Lin who was brought by Jing Zhaorong to enjoy the flowers?"

There was a trace of looseness in Mingyan's eyes, but her face remained unchanged.

When Xuanheng mentioned the fourth thing, Mingyan finally couldn't hold it any longer and glared at Xuanheng fiercely: "That's enough, stop talking!"

Seeing Xuan Heng's successful expression, Mingyan snorted again: "You can stay if you want to. If I hear you say these things from somewhere again, you will tell me immediately." Go back to the capital!"

"Okay, okay, Your Highness Princess."

Xuan Heng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "I will definitely do it."

Soon we reached the resting place.

Mingyan shouted to the two people in the carriage behind: "Linlong, Linlong."

"Princess." When the two of them saw Xuanheng next to Mingyan, they immediately took out the sword from their waists and pointed it straight at Xuanheng, "Who are you? Why do you appear next to Her Royal Highness the Princess! What do you have? What’s the intention?!”

Mingyan couldn't help but laugh. She turned her head and glanced at Xuanheng and said, "Look, I told them that they think you are a bad person. Do you believe it?"

Linlang immediately took a step forward, stared at Xuan Heng carefully, and then suddenly realized - "You are the person who broke into the princess's banquet that day, that is, the messenger! You just no longer cover your face with a mask!"

"good eyesight."

Xuanheng said with a smile, which was considered a disguised admission.

"It's really you!" Linlang immediately looked on guard, "Speak quickly! What is your intention to lurk next to the princess?!"

Xuanheng didn't speak, but just glanced at Mingyan teasingly: "Princess, you don't want to explain? Are you just watching me being wronged by your maid?"

Mingyan snorted coldly, ignored her, and just said: "Okay, Linlang, he doesn't dare to be malicious."

Linlang then retracted his sword, but the look he occasionally glanced at Xuanheng was still full of vigilance, and Linlong's eyes were also full of vigilance, always wary of Xuanheng.

After a while, another black shadow jumped out of the trees. Linlong and Linlong were so frightened that they hurriedly shouted: "Princess, be careful! There is an assassin!"

But the assassin knelt on one knee in front of Xuan Heng: "Sir, Amu is late."

Xuan Heng shook his head: "You did an excellent job."

Hearing the familiar name, Mingyan suddenly raised her head and looked at the person in front of her whom Linlong and Linlong called "assassin": "Amu?"

"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing?"

Amu's voice jumped for joy when he saw Mingyan next to Xuanheng.

"Everything is fine." Mingyan turned around and said, "Okay, okay, this is not an assassin. This princess and he are old acquaintances, so please feel at ease. It just so happens that the time has come. Let's continue on our way."

Linlang and Linlong put away their swords again and both sighed. About an hour later, several people arrived at the riverside, called a few bamboo rafts, and set foot on the waterway to Jinling City.

The grooms were left on the shore. Mingyan gave them wages and asked them to return the same way.

Mingyan stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the endless rolling river water, and suddenly she felt like she was the only one in the world.

It took her a while to recover, and she sat on the bamboo raft holding her skirt, admiring the scenery along the way.

The boatman was always talkative, but when he saw that these people were dressed in luxurious clothes and that they had been brought by carriages just now, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Mingyan asked casually: "Uncle, we have never been to the south. It seems that the road is far away. Can you tell us about the scenery and anecdotes here?"

Mingyan's words played into the boatmen's hands, and she immediately told them a famous legend.

Halfway through the story, the boatman realized his gaffe and hurriedly glanced at the noble lady sitting in the bow to see if she was angry.

Seeing that the boatman didn't speak, Mingyan turned around and said in a jumpy tone: "Uncle, please continue talking. I think your story is better than that storyteller in the teahouse in the capital!"

After hearing Mingyan's compliments, the boatman not only felt completely relieved, but also became a little excited, and told several anecdotes along the way.

Before I knew it, the effort of walking on the river was over.

After landing, Mingyan said goodbye to the boatman, and then turned to look at the majestic Jinling City in front of her.

At this moment, the rain has stopped, but according to what Jing Zhaorong wrote, rain is just a small matter, and waterlogging after the rain stops is a big deal.

This matter cannot be delayed.

Mingyan calmed down slightly and walked towards the city gate.

Even though it had just rained heavily, there was still an endless stream of people going in and out of the city.

Walking into the city, Mingyan took the lead in finding a few rooms in the local inn to stay in. After packing everything, she planned to go find the magistrate of Jinling City.

According to local people, the county magistrate's surname is Qian and he lives by a river in Jinling City.

County magistrate's office.

Qian Yong was holding his wife in his arms, drinking tea slowly, and watching his concubine dance.

At this time, he suddenly heard the boy hurried out and announced: "Master! Master! Madam! Something bad is going wrong! Something bad is going to happen!!!"

Qian Yong looked at the young man with a dissatisfied look on his face and scolded angrily——

"What are you arguing about! Didn't you see that my wife and I are busy?!"

The boy quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said anxiously: "No, no! Master, something big has happened! Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived!"

Hearing the words "Her Royal Highness the Princess", Qian Yong stood up quickly, pushed his wife away, and said angrily: "Why did the Princess come? You little slave, didn't you tell me earlier! I'm not prepared at all now. No!"

"By the way, where is Her Royal Highness the Princess now?"

"Come back to me, Sir, Her Royal Highness the Princess is already waiting for you in the front hall." The boy was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out, and he replied tremblingly.

"What should we do?" Qian Yongdang panicked.

"Master, why don't you go and take a look first? It would be bad if the princess gets angry if she is made to wait for too long."
