The crowd of onlookers began to point fingers at the imperial edict.

"Alas... our Northern Cang Kingdom has been really turbulent in the past few years. Those barbarians in the south are always causing trouble on the border. See... they finally angered the current emperor, so he sent Marquis Jingyuan to quell the rebellion. This time, they will suffer the consequences."

"Who says it's not true? Such a tiny country dares to provoke our Beicang Country. We really give them face."

"I have to say...it was a wise decision for the emperor to send Marquis Jingyuan to lead the troops. These little thieves are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. It's their bad luck. It's so satisfying."

After hearing this, Lin Acai had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

It turned out that the emperor had posted an imperial edict, announcing to the world that Marquis Jingyuan would soon march south to quell the foreign rebels who were constantly causing trouble on the border.

But this matter doesn't seem to have much to do with her as a girl.

He, a little girl, came to Beijing with two little kids just to live a stable life.

The capital is so big, I don’t believe there is no place for them to stay.

In fact, Lin Acai had never wanted to come to the capital before.

But on second thought, Xiao Jue's family is in the capital, and he probably wouldn't have thought that she would come here.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Moreover, people go to high places and water flows to low places. Kyoto is undoubtedly the most desirable and prosperous place.

After a walk, Lin Acai went to a tea stall and bought a few cups of herbal tea for the two little kids and the driver to cool down.

The driver took the cold tea and asked what was going on over there with all the commotion.

Lin Acai replied nonchalantly: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that Jingyuan Hou seems to be going south to quell some rebels."

The driver was stunned when he heard this: "Oh...are we going to fight again? But if Marquis Jingyuan is going to the war, then there is no need to worry!

Marquis Jingyuan has never been defeated. It must be those barbarians in the south who don’t know how to live or die and are here to die.”

Lin Acai didn't respond when she heard this, but just smiled and passed it off.

Then, not long after, after drinking the herbal tea, the city gate gradually resumed traffic.

After a while, Lin Acai recognized the coachman that Young Madam Li Caiyu had found for her among a group of people who had just left the city.

After the two drivers took over, the new driver continued to take them towards the capital.

Who would have thought it was such a coincidence!

As soon as the carriage entered the city gate, Xiao Jue's carriage came from another direction.

The two carriages were less than half a meter apart!

Passing by...

But Lin Acai was completely unaware of this and was smiling as she held the two children in her arms.

And Xiao Jue had no idea that the girl A Cai, whom he was thinking about, was sitting in the carriage next to him.

He was even foolishly thinking about the hairpin in Yaohe Town.

As a result, two hours later, Xiao Jue finally bought the hairpin as he wished.

But today, he was no longer wearing the same coarse cloth clothes as that day.

At this moment, he stood there, looking like a noble young man from the capital.

His black hair stood tall and was tied up with a jade crown.

He was wearing a sky-blue brocade robe with a jet-black jade belt around his waist, and a small lilac sachet hung next to the belt.

It totally doesn't match his overall temperament.

The vendor at the stall didn't recognize Xiao Jue when he saw him coming.

When Xiao Jue took the initiative to mention the hairpin, the stall owner hurriedly took out the hairpin, then took the bulging purse, feeling very happy.

This time when he came to Xinghua Village, Xiao Jue only brought his personal bodyguard Bai Jing.

"Your Highness... You've been traveling all day, why don't you find a tea stall to rest for a while? Xinghua Village is right in front of us, we will definitely arrive tonight."

Bai Jing said a lot of nice things, but Xiao Jue was not moved at all, "Stop talking nonsense... Stop talking nonsense and keep on going!"

"..."

Bai Jing found it unbelievable.

It was the first time he saw the prince come to buy a hairpin for women.

Is this bought for my wife?

But it doesn’t seem like it.

The pattern is obviously not suitable for the lady's age.

Could it be that?

Did he want to buy it for his lover?

The maid in the Marquis's mansion said that the prince had fallen in love with a girl in Xinghua Village and personally went to the lady to say that he wanted to marry her.

It seems that this is not just hearsay.

When Bai Jing thought of this, he was curious for the first time: "Prince... is this hairpin intended to be given to the girl in Xinghua Village?"

When he said this, he gave himself a thumbs up.

He is so bold that he even dares to pry into his master's private affairs.

But Xiao Jue was obviously in a good mood and didn't argue with him, "...Well, she is a very special girl."

Bai Jing nodded as if he understood, but still couldn't believe his ears.

As the eldest son of the Jingyuan Marquis's mansion, he didn't even look down upon any of the noble ladies in the capital, but instead fell in love with an unknown girl from the mountain village of Xinghua Village.

Do you think this is weird or not?

Not to mention, what's so special about this girl? Is she a goddess from heaven?

Thinking of this, Bai Jing shook his head silently again.

How is that possible? No matter how beautiful she is, she can't compare with the ladies from the capital. At best, she can only be considered a beautiful girl from a small family.

I didn't expect that his son would like this...

"Bai Jing! What are you thinking about... drive quickly!"

When Bai Jing heard this urging, he immediately pulled himself back from his chaotic thoughts and jumped into the carriage: "Prince, please be patient, I will drive the carriage right away! I will not delay your meeting with the girl."

An hour later, Xinghua Village became faintly visible in the distance.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at Xinghua Village..."

arrive???

Xiao Jue was so anxious that he wished he could see his A Cai right away and put the hairpin on A Cai himself.

However, when the carriage drove into the gate of the courtyard, Bai Jing tightened the reins, and Xiao Jue slowly walked into the yard, but he did not see A Cai, whom he had been thinking about, coming to greet him.

Bai Jing hurriedly followed, he could clearly feel the prince's emotional fluctuations.

"Prince...you have some problems with your eyes, let me lead you!"

"Don't worry about me... I'm familiar with this yard..."

After hearing this, Bai Jing didn't force it anymore.

"Strange... Why is the yard so empty, as if there is no one here?" Bai Jing asked unconsciously.

Xiao Jue did not respond, but continued walking forward.

It must be that his Ah Cai was taking a nap with his two younger brothers and didn't hear the noise, so she didn't come out to greet him.

Thinking of this, he slowed down his pace, fearing to disturb the people who were sleeping in the house.

However, when he ran straight to the west room and stepped over the threshold, and saw that the room was empty, his dark eyes dimmed instantly.

Why isn't Acai here?

Then he went to the east room, which was still empty.

Bai Jing: "My Lord... It seems that everything in this house has been put in order. Could it be that the girl no longer lives here?"

"..."

Don't live here?
