Spring Comes Inn

The Niu family was having dinner in the living room when they saw the couple dressed in new clothes and were very happy.

"Girl, you look completely different! I knew you and your husband were good-looking."

Ying Ji knew that Niu Dazhuang had no other intentions, so she gave the children's things she had bought to Niu Dazhuang: "Brother Niu, I still need your help. My husband has difficulty walking, so could you help me find a smaller carriage?"

Niu Dazhuang patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me. It's no big deal. Madam, you go back and rest first. My sister and I will go out for a while."

Niu Zhuangzhuang liked this pretty older sister. Not only did she often feed him good food, but he didn't know why, but when he was with her, his body didn't hurt as much.

Niu Dazhuang led Ying Ji through a winding path into a small courtyard.

An elderly woman with a dark complexion came out. Upon seeing the familiar face, she welcomed the person in and asked, "What do you want to buy this time?"

Niu Dazhuang made a gesture.

The old lady told them to stay where they were, and soon a strong horse came out.

“This horse is in its prime. Look at its coat, it’s top-quality. If it weren’t for an acquaintance’s introduction, I definitely wouldn’t sell it.”

Niu Dazhuang chuckled: "Haven't we talked enough? I tricked you last time. Are all the paperwork in order? If possible, I'll take it today."

The old lady glanced at the little girl behind her and made a gesture.

Niu Dazhuang's smile faltered.

Seeing that things were not going well, Ying Ji pulled someone aside to ask the price. Niu Dazhuang whispered, "This costs 5 gold, but it usually only costs 2 gold. They're trying to rip you off."

Ying Ji whispered in her ear, "Five gold coins are fine, but you must also send ten catties of fine grains."

Niu Dazhuang went to negotiate, and it was eventually settled.

They exchanged money for the carriage, inspected the grain (which was all fine grain), and then left through the back passage.

When Ying Ji paid her bill at the inn, she also paid for Niu Dazhuang's family's.

The two spent half a day shopping and then left.

Wearing a bamboo hat and with a lollipop in her mouth, Ying Ji drove the carriage carelessly, occasionally checking if she was going the right way.

"What a terrible map! It's giving me a headache. I don't know how much longer we have to walk."

Bai Changchuan stepped out and lay half-reclined in Ying Ji's arms, basking in the sun.

"As long as you're by my side, I'm willing to go for as long as it takes."

Ying Ji held the man's hand. Perhaps it was because he had been too obedient lately, or perhaps it was because they had gone through thick and thin together, but she often found herself kissing this man passionately.

They almost came to blows even at the inn.

[This is too ambiguous. We've kissed before, but not like this. I might as well tell him about everything that happened before, little by little. I feel like if this continues, I'll regret it.]

The nights have been getting colder lately, and even though Ying Ji has bought a lot of furs to lay out, Bai Changchuan still shivers from the cold.

After thinking for a long time, he took out a cotton quilt from his spatial storage and put it in the carriage under some pretext.

The night was no longer cold, but the man blushed terribly, finding it hard to contain his emotions as he looked at the bridal quilt.

In the darkness, the man's hand slid to the woman's waist, his breath tickling her neck.

Grabbing the mischievous hand, she lightly bit it, then pressed her bright red lips down in a brutal assault.

A man's sweet, soft humming came from inside the carriage.

Ying Ji loosened her belt, hugged the person in her arms, her voice was a little hoarse, but her tone was gentle.

Bai Changchuan listened to their story of how they met, but didn't fall in love. It sounded like they were parallel lines that could never intersect.

The man was stubborn; he thought the reason she wasn't touching him was because she didn't like him. Not only was he depressed, but he also subconsciously rejected all kinds of intimate touches.

Ying Ji also let him have some peace and quiet, allowing him to maintain social distance between them.

Bai Changchuan looked at the woman who didn't care about him at all, and didn't understand why his heart ached so much.

Upon arriving at the next city, they took the travel permit given to them by Niu Dazhuang and stayed at an inn, where they were assigned two rooms this time.

This was the first time Bai Changchuan had slept alone since losing his memory, and he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he tried.

What are you doing? Are you thinking that I'm finally not clinging to you anymore, or are you thinking about someone else...?

The more I thought about it, the more distorted it became. In the end, I got angry with myself, couldn't sleep at all, and had dark circles under my eyes.

Feeling rejected by the man, Ying Ji could only pretend to ignore him. After all, this was how things had been before, and now they were back to square one.

In this eerie atmosphere, the two finally arrived in Linzi, the capital of Qi, after two months.

Ying Ji was so moved that she almost cried when she saw the city gate.

Having been led into the city by the roadside, he dared not make any rash moves and could only inquire whether any Qin envoys had come to Qi.

Logically, they should be faster, but they're afraid that focusing on the search will waste time.

Fortunately, Ying Ji ran into Han Fei on her way to the Guan Cheng (equivalent to the Foreign Affairs Office).

Han Fei quickly stepped forward: "Your Highness, you have indeed come to Qi. I admire you."

Ying Ji was overjoyed and grabbed Han Fei, trying to pull him towards the inn.

Han Fei should have refused to make contact, but when he saw a sharp gaze, he followed it and saw Bai Changchuan staring coldly at their hands.

Han Fei found this amusing: [The last time I saw Bai Changchuan, his eyes showed no affection, but now, they look like he wants to tear me to pieces. Hehe, o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o That's what makes it interesting, isn't it?]

Obediently pulled in front of Bai Changchuan, Ying Ji briefly told Han Fei about his amnesia: "Han Fei, please take care of Changchuan. He needs someone to help him remember some things recently."

Han Fei nodded in agreement. Bai Changchuan's eyes reddened at the sight, feeling incredibly wronged, but he remained outwardly composed: "No need, I remember now."

Ying Ji tilted her head: "This isn't Xianyang either, how come I remembered it so quickly?"

Bai Changchuan stared at Han Fei with an unfriendly expression: "I feel nauseous just looking at this face. I need to rest."

Ying Ji touched her forehead with some concern, then took her hand and pulled her to the palace manager to check on her: "Are you alright? Could it be a lingering effect? ​​Let's find the imperial physician to take a look."

Seeing Han Fei being left aside while he was being dragged away, Bai Changchuan couldn't help but feel happy. He hadn't thought about anything else; he just didn't want to be with Han Fei.

As soon as they reached the door, Yuan Ge came out and said, "Princess, Princess, you are indeed alright."

Yuan Ge pounced on Ying Ji and burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. There was nothing she could do but hold her and comfort her for a while.

Bai Changchuan was so angry at the woman who had just been holding his hand and was now comforting a maid that he almost fainted. He just snorted.

Ying Ji quickly pushed Yuan Ge away: "Go and call the imperial physician. Chang Chuan is not feeling well. Have someone come and take a look."

Yuan Ge then noticed that there were other people around him, and only then did he accept the order and leave.
