She refused to marry.

Su Wanwan looked at the emperor with annoyance, and after a long silence, she said, "All women in the world are the same. Has Your Majesty been close to women all these years? No wonder there are rumors that Your Majesty has a penchant for male lovers."

"Little fox, you're all better now, aren't you?" Xiao Xuanjing smiled, his eyes lowered.

"Thank you so much for your care, Your Majesty. I am indeed much better." Su Wanwan removed Xiao Xuanjing's hand from her waist.

Then she remembered that she hadn't taken off her clothes at all last night, so it was the Emperor who helped her undress last night.

"Isn't Your Majesty's behavior a bit excessive?"

She now wants to establish the rules for how powerful people behave in front of her.

"Hmph..." Xiao Xuanjing chuckled softly.

"Since you're calling him 'husband,' isn't it normal for husband and wife to undress together?"

"Without formal betrothal and wedding rites, how can we be husband and wife? It's just a cover for survival. Your Majesty, you can't take it seriously..." Su Wanwan said through gritted teeth.

"The Princess and General Xiao got married because of me, and they are pregnant. What's wrong with that? The formalities of the marriage ceremony are just formalities. I will make it up to you when we return to the capital." Xiao Xuanjing lowered his eyes, taking in the spring scenery.

"I don't like it." Su Wanwan pulled her clothes tighter. "Even if we were to consummate our marriage, I still wouldn't marry him."

Xiao Xuanjing's brow furrowed, and he looked down at her. "Why? In what way am I unworthy of you?"

Su Wanwan lowered her eyes and remained silent; she couldn't very well speak ill of his mother.

"Speak..." Xiao Xuanjing said from above her head, "Whatever your concerns, I'll take care of them for you."

"No," Su Wanwan denied in a low voice. "It's dawn, we should get going."

Xiao Xuanjing frowned slightly, his mind involuntarily turning to Ying Zheng; she still cared about him…

An unnamed emotion welled up inside me and wouldn't go away.

After traveling for several days, the two finally arrived at the town on the border of Anle County and Dingxiang on the last day.

Xiao Xuanjing found an inn.

"I'm going to take a stroll in town." Su Wanwan opened the window and looked out at the bustling scene.

"I'll go with you." Xiao Xuanjing walked to the window.

"No need, I'll just walk around downstairs. You can see me from the window. You must be tired from all this running around. Don't make things difficult." Su Wanwan placed a distance between them.

These past two days, Feng Chenjun has become increasingly close to her, and she has a feeling she can't quite describe.

The thought of having to deal with the Eldest Princess and all the troubles in the capital made her unwilling to get too close to Feng Chenjun.

Moreover, the situation is still unclear.

If she were to give her heart now, and Feng Chenjun were to die in battle as in the original story, she would be heartbroken for a long time.

"I'll be right back." Su Wanwan slipped out from beside the emperor and opened the door.

I went down the stairs and onto the street.

She looked up and waved to Feng Chenjun by the window.

Xiao Xuanjing stood by the window, nodding slightly, his hands behind his back, twirling a dagger in his hand.

moment.

"Knock, knock," came a knock at the door. "My lord, it's me."

"Come in." Xiao Xuanjing glanced sideways.

The door was pushed open, and Xie Yunzhou entered.

"My lord, the young master has caught up and is less than half an hour away from here. You should set off as soon as possible," Xie Yunzhou said, bowing.

"Understood." Xiao Xuanjing stood by the window without turning around.

Xie Yunzhou's voice choked with emotion, "My lord, are you really going to let me leave?"

"You serve three masters all by yourself, which is truly rare talent. It would be a pity if you died." Xiao Xuanjing's voice was hoarse, but his eyes never left the woman below.

Xie Yunzhou knelt down. "My lord... when did you learn of my true identity?"

"Does it matter?" Xiao Xuanjing asked in a low voice.

"My lord, you should leave quickly. The young master is here for Miss Su."

"Qingshan and the others have already left the city. If you leave now, you will surely catch up within three days." Xie Yunzhou choked up.

"I have my own plans for this matter. Go now. If we meet again in the future, I may not be able to keep you here." Xiao Xuanjing frowned deeply.

Xie Yunzhou turned and walked to the door.

"I am deeply gratified to see the Lord again."

"If we meet again in the future, you will still be my humble lord." After saying this, he opened the door, walked out, and slowly closed it.

Xiao Xuanjing took a deep breath and glanced at Xie Yunzhou's small frame.

His lightness skill still hasn't improved.

Looking back, the little fox was nowhere to be seen in the crowd.

"Little fox..." Xiao Xuanjing looked around, but after waiting for a while, he still couldn't see her.

He hurriedly climbed out the window and landed on the street, causing quite a commotion.

At this very moment, Su Wanwan is looking for a favorite umbrella in the umbrella vendor's cart.

His Majesty has unique tastes; he would definitely dislike an umbrella that is too ugly or too flashy. After searching high and low, he finally found a plain-colored umbrella.

He got up and excitedly waved his umbrella toward the window, only to find that the person in the window was gone.

"Huh, where is everyone?" Su Wanwan gave the silver, took the umbrella and lard ointment and returned to the inn.

I pushed open the door, only to find that no one was inside.

I put the umbrella on the table and walked to the window, where I could only see footprints on the windowsill.

"Could he have jumped down just now?" Su Wanwan poked her head out, but didn't find anything unusual.

Back in the house, I washed my face, tidied up, and found that my clothes were wet when I opened my bundle. So I went downstairs and bought some new clothes from a nearby shop.

Suddenly, a commotion arose on the street, and then the vendors hurriedly fled. Su Wanwan was also pushed out by the clothing shopkeeper.

When I turned around, the shopkeeper had already closed the door tightly, and judging from the noise, it seemed that a large item had been blocked in.

"Hey, what do you mean?! Who are you? Why are you so scared?"

As soon as Su Wanwan finished speaking, a vendor nearby hurriedly pulled her under his cart. "Shh, girl, don't speak. Let's hide here first."

"Who is it that makes you so afraid?" Su Wanwan asked curiously.

"It's someone from the Prince of Changxin's men, shh, they're here!" the old woman whispered.

"Giddy up!!!" The sound of horses being spurred on came from afar.

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way, everyone!!!"

The sound of horses' hooves grew closer, accompanied by the sound of something being kicked over.

Su Wanwan peeked out slightly. A dozen people were rushing towards her from a distance. The leader was covered in dust, his brows furrowed, and his eyes searching around.

It's Ying Zheng.

Su Wanwan quickly shrank back.

The sound of hooves suddenly slowed down, and the men dismounted, knocked on the doors of the inns, and began to check each one.

They didn't even spare the small vendors on the street.

"Have you seen a man and a woman? The man has white hair, is about this tall, has round eyes, and fair skin. He looks different from the locals at first glance..."

The sounds of inquiries grew closer.

The shopkeeper who had just stopped Su Wanwan looked at the woman before him. She had fair skin, round eyes, and spoke with a Beijing accent…

"Sir! Sir! Sir!" The old woman excitedly pulled Su Wanwan up and called out to the sir in the distance.

As Ying Zheng turned around, the figure he had longed for for so long came into view.

Su Wanwan smiled and waved, "Your Highness, it's been a long time..."
