"On the fifth and sixth day, take two people and rush to Cangzhou. On the sixth day, take two people to Daqing Mountain to look for people. On the fifth day, go to Yushi Mountain to see if there are any more victims. They are so bold and presumptuous. There must be people who have been wronged among them."

"Subordinates take orders."

Then Chuliu looked at the two people standing next to him and said, "You two follow me."

"Yes." The two people who were named didn't say anything, took the horses and galloped away.

After giving the instructions here, everything outside was almost cleaned up. Shen Jingyi pulled King Xuan out of the car and asked Chuntao and Qiuju to put away the table, put down the chairs, and make the bed, as she wanted to take a nap at noon.

When everything was packed up and they were back on the road, Prince Xuan followed Shen Jingyi into the carriage, and Nanny Qin had to sit in the back one.

Inside the carriage, Shen Jingyi was leaning leisurely against the wall, holding a book in her hands, reading it intently.

King Xuan sat at the table nearby with his legs crossed, holding a book in one hand and fiddling with chess pieces with the other. Both of them were immersed in their own worlds and did not disturb each other.

As the carriage moved slowly forward, the body of the carriage shook from time to time. At first, Shen Jingyi didn't pay attention to it, but as time went on, she gradually felt sleepy, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally she could not resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

When King Xuan saw this, he couldn't help but find it a little funny, wondering why this woman was acting like a child.

Worried that she would not be comfortable sleeping like this, he put away his things, gently laid Shen Jingyi flat, and then he lay down beside her, hugging her tightly in his arms. Soon he also fell asleep.

Shen Jingyi didn't sleep well at first, and she always felt her body shaking constantly. But after a while, this shaking feeling disappeared, as if something was holding her firmly and no longer shaking. So she gradually relaxed and fell into a deeper sleep.

After waking up, I realized that it was King Xuan's arms that held me in place. Turning my head to look at the handsome face so close to me, an indescribable feeling surged in my heart. This was really a man who could easily make people fall in love with him.

Shen Jingyi retaliated by using her hands to trace the contours of his face.

King Xuan felt his face itchy, and when he woke up he saw a small hand drawing on his face.

Reach out and grab it.

"Are you still sleeping?"

"Well, I'm awake now. I won't sleep anymore."

When King Xuan heard this, a sly smile appeared on his face. He leaned close to Shen Jingyi's ear and whispered, "Then let's do something else."

"What to do?" Shen Jingyi asked confusedly.

Shen Jingyi knew it as soon as she asked, because King Xuan's lips slowly moved closer and gently touched her lips.

Shen Jingyi's eyes widened instantly, and she thought to herself, this is in a carriage, and there are so many people following outside! If someone hears... No, King Xuan is not that kind of person. She looked up into King Xuan's eyes, and sure enough, this guy was deliberately trying to scare her.

After thinking it through, Shen Jingyi was no longer afraid. Come on, let’s hurt each other.

So, she began to respond enthusiastically, and soon, both of their clothes were in disarray, and King Xuan's solid chest was exposed.

Shen Jingyi's small hand was still exploring down along the chest, and King Xuan immediately couldn't stand it anymore and surrendered, holding down the dishonest little hand.

"Little demon, you broke the rules!" King Xuan said breathlessly. This is really a case of losing more than gaining.

Shen Jingyi raised the corners of her mouth, smiled slightly, and retorted: "Isn't this instigated by you, Your Majesty? I am just following your lead."

King Xuan looked seductively and smiled like a fox, "Really? Then we'll continue in the evening."

Shen Jingyi immediately admitted defeat when she heard this, "Haha, no need. We still have to travel tomorrow, so we need to have a good rest tonight."

"You are not tired of riding in a carriage."

"I plan to ride a horse tomorrow."

King Xuan did not argue with her, since he had the final say at night.

After the heat in his body subsided, King Xuan took out the chessboard again.

"Then let's play chess."

"No, but I'm not good at it." Not only was she not good at it, she didn't know how to do it. Her original body only learned the basics from her brother.

"It's okay. I'll teach you." King Xuan said solemnly.

The two men started to fight, and as soon as they started, King Xuan knew that this was a bad move. This was not going to be good!

"Yier, who taught you how to play chess before?"

"My elder brother, he told me how to play, and then gave me a book and asked me to study it myself."

"Then I accidentally spilled my tea on the book, and I stopped reading."

King Xuan sighed. Now that he had said it, he had no choice but to patiently start teaching from the beginning.

Fortunately, this student was smart and learned quickly. By the time she arrived at the post station in the evening, she had already gotten off the train properly.

Shen Jingyi had just learned how to play chess and found it quite fun and that time passed very quickly.

Reluctantly, he put away the chessboard and followed King Xuan into the post station.

Someone had already come to make arrangements, so now they can just move in directly after they come in.

The two of them were not in a hurry to check in. They first found an inconspicuous spot in the hall and sat down, waiting for Nanny Qin and the others to tidy up the room and then change the bedding they brought with them.

The two were sitting quietly in the corner discussing chess pieces when suddenly a large group of people came rushing in, men and women, old and young, maids, servants, and boys, making the scene very chaotic.

"Why is there no upper room?"

"Mom, I don't care. My daughter wants to live in the upper room. I don't want to live in a servant's room."

"Okay, Mom gets it, just be good and stop making trouble."

"Miss, you have misunderstood. Room B is not a servant's room. It is just a little bit worse than Room A. In fact, it is also a room for the upper class."

The shopkeeper who managed the post station was helpless and could only explain patiently.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a full belly walked in, followed by a young couple.

When Shen Jingyi saw the woman, she felt that she looked familiar. It was only after she carefully searched the original owner's memory that she remembered her.

"It's her. I didn't expect her to come back so soon."

King Xuan followed Shen Jingyi's gaze and saw her staring at the woman. "Who is she? Do you know her?"

"She is my brother's ex-fiancée. I didn't expect to meet her here."

"It turned out to be his home."

Seeing Shen Jingyi's confusion, Prince Xuan explained to him, "He is Fu Hongshan, the prefect of Quanzhou. A month ago, my father ordered him to be promoted to the third-rank Guanglu Temple Minister. Now he should be bringing his family to Beijing to take up his post."

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi simply said, "So that's how it is."

Anyway, she didn't like this family very much. It was annoying to see them being so aggressive, so she said, "They are not high-ranking officials, but they are so pretentious. And how much of the people's money did they plunder to be so fat?"

King Xuan smiled helplessly and said, "Yier, you are judging people by their appearance. Also, local officials are respected and feared by the local people, so many of them will develop this kind of behavior over time. Once they suffer losses in Beijing, they will change."

"There is such a thing."

At this time, the man said, "Boss, can you help us change to two Room A? Money is not a problem."

"Or you can call out the person living in Room A and we can talk about it ourselves." Their old lady also spoke.

"This family is truly top notch." Shen Jingyi commented as she looked at the family.

King Xuan laughed when he heard this comment.

"Indeed, their family was just a landlord before. Fu Hongshan was a capable man and ranked second in the imperial examination. Because of his outstanding appearance and talent, he was chosen as a son-in-law by the then Taifu. The Taifu had only one daughter and required him to take a concubine only if he was 40 and had no children. He agreed and did it, so he had no concubines or maids.

He is also very good at research, and the Grand Tutor also supported him when he was in the court, and gave him all the connections. "

"Then he is still a trustworthy man."

"Although his wife no longer has to deal with the jealousy in the backyard, she still has to endure such a bad mother-in-law. Hasn't she seen that her daughter has become useless?"

King Xuan looked at the woman who refused to compromise and agreed, "Indeed, she is a little too arrogant."

Chu Ba, who was watching the show nearby, felt that this woman was a bit noisy, and said, "Your Majesty, how about I go down and tell you that the last three Room A are reserved by us."
