The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

Chu Bainiao rubbed his senior brother's head and said, "It's great to meet Xiao Yan."

……

The next day, she disguised herself and left the city with her brother and two attendants.

As for Chu Bainiao's identity in the capital, it is temporarily replaced by the secret guards sent by the empress.

There are few men walking around the world, let alone a young man as handsome as my senior brother.

In order to be less conspicuous, she half-forced and half-cajoled her senior brother into changing into women's clothes.

On the side of the road between the mountains and forests - in a simple tea shed built of bamboo, both passers-by who were resting and the stall owners and employees of the tea shed could not help but cast their eyes towards the group of people in the corner.

I saw a tall woman in a pink dress and a veil, pulling at the clothes of another woman sitting next to her and acting coquettishly.

Whether it was from the two women's attire, their aura, or the two guards standing beside them, one could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people.

Maybe she is a daughter of a wealthy family.

"Sister..." Ji Yan called pitifully, his big round eyes staring at Chu Bainiao's face through the veil.

If there weren't other people nearby, Ji Yan would have wanted to stick his whole body to them.

Ever since he dressed up as a woman, Chu Bainiao asked him to call her sister in public.

Because he is young and his appearance is androgynous, with a little makeup he looks like a girl.

Chu Bainiao picked up the teapot handed to him by the stall owner and poured a cup of tea for his senior brother and himself. He grasped the wall of the cup with three slender fingers and was about to bring it to his lips but put it down again.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yan?"

The tea placed back on the table shook left and right, creating ripples.

Ji Yan frowned slightly and sat closer to her, "Xiao Yan, you've rested enough, let's go."

He stared at her infatuatedly, and perhaps because he thought the veil was covering his eyes, his gaze became even more unscrupulous.

Some manipulations were also done to the prince's face, making his skin yellower and darker, and his facial features slightly changed.

Her appearance is not as beautiful and eye-catching as before, but the aura she exudes from the inside out is still charming.

Chu Bainiao had no intention of drinking tea, but she didn't plan to leave either. She raised her head and met the gaze of the stall owner who was looking over here.

The rough, dark-skinned stall owner asked, "What's the matter, young lady? Is the tea not to your taste? The shop only has some coarse tea."

Chu Bai Niao curled her lips and smiled, looked around, sighed, and suddenly said, "Kill him."

The two attendants who were accompanying him drew the long swords from their waists and slashed at the stall owner with the long swords with a sharp cold light.

The stall owner pulled out a knife from the groceries with a distorted expression. Although he didn't know where he was exposed, he shouted fiercely: "Do it!"

Suddenly, the simple tea stall was filled with the flashing of swords and sabers. Except for some passers-by who were running away in panic, the rest of the people drew their weapons and rushed towards them.

The servant killed the stall owner with two slashes of his sword, and then immediately raised his sword to kill the others.

How could the skills of the robbers in the roadside black shops compare with the secret guards trained by the royal family? In just a few moments, corpses and blood covered the ground.

Chu Bainiao stood up slowly. Even though she was in a simple tea stall, even among corpses and pools of blood, her temperament was still elegant and graceful.

She lowered her eyes and looked at her senior brother's blurry face through the veil. "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"No, no." Ji Yan stammered.

Chu Bai Niao explained, "The tea was drugged. This is a shady shop."

"This black shop opened on the roadside and has killed countless people. I am the prince of Da Chu and I must be responsible for the people of Da Chu."

Ji Yan stood up and eagerly held Chu Bainiao's hand. His slightly cold fingers were wrapped around the warm palm, and then he spoke with confidence: "Your Majesty, you don't have to explain to me. In my heart, Your Majesty is the best person in the world."

Chu Bainiao found it a little funny, so she pulled her brother over by the hand that was holding her under his clothes, bent down slightly, and picked him up by the waist.

The two are of similar height and look harmonious.

Ji Yan exclaimed, and quickly wrapped his hands around Chu Bai Niao's neck, his face flushed red under the veil, "My Lord, how can you hug me?"

He lowered his head shyly, feeling a little ashamed. He thought that he should be the one to hug the prince, as he was also very strong.

Chu Bainiao took a step forward and walked out through the gaps between the corpses. Her voice was cold and calm, and she did not feel entangled or ashamed because of the hug.

"There are corpses and blood all over the ground. I will carry you out to avoid dirtying your shoes."

Ji Yan's heart was pounding, and he grabbed the cloth on Chu Bainiao's shoulders with a blushing face and a pounding heart. The heat coming from the tip of his heart seemed to ignite his whole body.

You can even take care of the shoes of the person you like.

Ji Yan's eyes were sore, and he spoke with happiness and emotion, "But Your Majesty, your shoes will also be stained with blood."

Chu Bai Niao was stuck, walked out of the tea shed, put his brother down, and said, "I am a woman, so a little blood on my shoes is nothing."

It's a world dominated by women, which makes sense. Women are born to be stronger than men.

Ji Yan didn't say anything, but he felt that the prince also needed to be protected. But it didn't matter, he would protect the prince.

The servant fired a signal flare, signaling the nearby secret guards to come and deal with the aftermath.

Ji Yan sat on the horse, and Chu Bainiao led the horse and walked slowly on the dirt road in the mountains.

Ji Yan stared at Chu Bainiao's back and asked, "Sister, are there many black shops on the road?"

Chu Bai Niao had no idea, so he said vaguely: "It shouldn't be much, but you have to be careful when traveling in the world."

The corners of Ji Yan's lips curled up slightly under his veil, but his voice was full of pity, "I went to the capital to look for my relatives and followed the crowd."

"I was short of money and couldn't afford the tea sold on the roadside. I could only carry a water bag and follow people to find a river."

"Today, not being able to afford roadside tea is not necessarily a bad thing."

Chu Bai Niao looked up at him, feeling an inexplicable pain in her heart, "Now that I am here, I will never let you live your previous life again."

The smile on Ji Yan's lips deepened, his eyes became even hotter, but his voice was as gentle as ever, "Sister, you are so kind."

The word "sister" makes Qianrou feel moved.

Several people hurried on their way through the mountains and only arrived at the next city near nightfall.

After opening three upper rooms, the attendants ate in the hall and inquired about the news, while she and her senior brother sat in the private room upstairs to dine.

A copy of the restaurant's sign was served. After the food was served and everyone left, Ji Yan finally took off the veil he had been wearing.

His jet-black hair was tied into a girl's bun, and his porcelain-white face had a pair of watery eyes. If no one knew that he was her senior brother, no one would have thought that he was a man at first glance.

"Sister..." Ji Yan called out aggrievedly, "I want to sit with you."

Chu Bai Niao looked at her senior brother's beautiful face and felt a little shameful in her heart. She glanced away uncomfortably and said, "Come here."
