Chapter Seventy-Three

  Daughter, you have to pay after eating.

  It's hard to have a concern in my heart, but heaven always loves to tease people. If he was destined to die, why did she still appear and disturb her own heart?

  Her thoughts were in disarray, leaving Jing Mei Chen momentarily stunned. After a long while, she finally spoke up, her lips pursed.

  "Just do it as usual then." After all, isn't it always like this every year?

  Xuan Mei's expression was calm and serene, her eyes cast downward, as if she didn't want to mention the matter again.

  Because that thing was his lifelong nightmare, as if it were a thorn stuck in his heart, which had long become festering and unbearable.

  It seemed like Qing Mei knew that Cui Wei didn't want to mention this matter again, so she just nodded lightly in response.

  Because for that matter, apart from the parties involved, she was also very clear. So for Xuan Mei Chen, it's even more pitiful, perhaps her love for him also started from then on!?

  From initially pitying him, to gradually falling in love with him to the point of being unable to extricate herself, it became her habit...

  Just as Qing Mei was sighing, she was about to turn around and push off when Xuan Mei Chen, who had originally planned to rest, suddenly spoke up again.

  "How is he... now!?"

  "Uh..."

  Regarding Xuan Mei Chen's sudden words, Qing Mei had a moment of daze in her heart, but soon she figured out who the 'he' that Xuan Mei Chen was talking about.

  A wave of sympathy rose again in her heart, for the man who appeared to be extremely cold on the surface. She had always known that his aloofness was just a protective color, and in reality, he desperately needed others' care and sympathy, and was actually an extremely fragile person inside!

  He is so kind, yet he keeps all his worries hidden in his heart. When he's sad, he can only secretly hide in a corner by himself, like an injured wild animal, not letting anyone see his miserable state.

  There is bitterness, but also savoring it alone and quietly by oneself...

  In her heart, Qing Mei gazed at the man half-reclining on the bed, his pale complexion due to illness yet still unblemished by his stunning beauty, like a white lotus bud about to bloom, now battered by fierce winds and torrential rains. Seeing this, it pained her deeply.

  However, she quickly suppressed the heartache in her heart. Because she knew that Your Highness disliked seeing others' sympathy and pity for him the most...

  Thinking of this, Qing Mei pursed her red lips tightly and told Jing Xuan Chen everything he wanted to know in a low and honest voice.

  "Two months ago, the Emperor was assassinated..." She had actually received the news a long time ago, but she didn't mention it because Zhen Mei Chen had said before that he didn't want to hear anything about the Imperial Palace.

  But she knew that His Highness had a love-hate relationship with his father!

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after hearing Qing Mei's words, Xuan Mei Chen's face, which was originally calm and indifferent, suddenly changed!

  His eyebrows furrowed, his eyes wide open, and he suddenly sat up in bed. The thin sheet that had been lightly covering his chest also slowly slid down with his violent movement.

  But perhaps because he was too excited just now, he only felt a tickle in his throat and couldn't control a violent cough.

  Watching Xuan Mei's painful expression as he covered his mouth with his hand due to coughing, Qing Mei was frightened and hastily walked up to him, patting his back while anxiously saying.

  "Your Highness, don't worry, the Emperor is fine, he just suffered a minor injury on his arm."

  It's because Zhen Huan is too worried about the Emperor that she would be like this, after all they are father and son aren't they?

  However, after hearing Qing Mei's words, Xuan Mei Chen slowly stopped her cough, but still spoke in a cold and awkward tone.

  "I wasn't worried."

  "Oh." Knowing that Xuan Mei was stubborn but soft-hearted, Qing Mei could only agree with his words without refuting them.

  Then, she handed him a cup of warm tea to moisten his throat. After that, Xuan Mei seemed to have thought of something and asked.

  "Is anything else happening at the palace besides this?"

  After hearing Xuan Mei's words, Qing Mei thought for a moment before speaking.

  "It's said that on the night of the emperor's assassination, the seventh prince and fourth prince got into a fight for some reason. In the end, they all went to the Nurturing Heart Palace due to the emperor's assassination. However, starting from the next day, the seventh prince and fourth prince were like madmen, bringing their personal guards to search for news of a woman. Not just the seventh and fourth princes, but even the crown prince was doing the same. It seemed that this woman was extremely important to them."

  Although they are far away from the palace, there are still their people inside the palace, so Qing Mei would know about these things.

  While Jing Mei listened to Qing Mei's words, her face had already regained its usual calm expression, but due to the severe coughing earlier, her cheeks still showed a faint flush of pink.

  "Oh, so you've found out what they're looking for? A woman?"

  "This, I have never asked."

  Because she thought this matter had nothing to do with her, Qing Mei never intentionally inquired about it. Now hearing Xuan Mei Chen ask like that, she couldn't help but continue speaking.

  "Otherwise, tomorrow I'll send someone to investigate the origin of that woman!"

  "It doesn't matter." It was just an unimportant thing, and he didn't want to know either.

  "Get out."

  He is also tired.

  As soon as she finished speaking, Xuan Mei Chen slowly lay down and before long, she fell fast asleep.

  Qing Mei saw this and immediately went forward to tuck in his quilt corner for him, although she knew that even if he didn't cover himself with the quilt, it would be the same.

  However, she can take this opportunity to get closer to the man in front of her. She lowered her head and gazed at the man's peaceful sleeping face, leaving her entranced for a long time...

  ……

  Although she wanted to ignore her, Han Xiying couldn't help but approach the pitiful figure standing alone under the moonlight and handed her a silk handkerchief.

  "Don't cry anymore, your eyes are all swollen, wipe away your tears!"

  "Uh..."

  When Qingmei heard Han Xi Tong's words, she was taken aback for a moment. When she saw the person in front of her, whom she had always disliked, her eyes flickered and her eyebrows showed a hint of regret and embarrassment.

  Perhaps she had always regarded Han Xi Tong as her love rival, and now showing a vulnerable side in front of her love rival made her extremely embarrassed.

  Perhaps Han Xi's eyes also sensed something from the flashing eyes of Qing Mei, and she pouted her red lips, planning to take back the silk handkerchief and leave. Who knew that at this moment, the silk handkerchief in her hand was pulled away, and a low, barely audible voice slowly sounded from beside her ear.

  "Thank you."

  "Uh..."

  This time, Han Xi's eyes widened in shock.

  Because she originally thought that Qing Mei would not even bother with her, let alone sense the hostility towards herself since their first meeting.

  It's as if her appearance has taken away something that originally belonged to her.

  So now, he can actually get a thank you from Qing Mei's mouth, how could it not make Han Xi Duan feel surprised!

  However, Han Xi Tong's daze only lasted for a moment. Knowing that Qing Mei might not want others to see her current disheveled state, she spoke softly after regaining her composure.

  "You go ahead, I won't bother you anymore."

  Having said that, he was about to turn around and leave.

  Who would have known, she originally thought Qing Mei wouldn't bother with her again, but unexpectedly, just as she was about to turn around, Qing Mei's words timely rang out.

  "Tomorrow is the anniversary of Rong Fei's death!"

  "Huh?"

  Empress Yu

  "Is she Queen Mother of Zhen Huan?"

  Han Xi's face slightly froze, and she asked in confusion. After seeing Qing Mei lightly nodding her head in response, she softly said "oh". She thought to herself.

  Is Qingmei crying so hard now because of Rong Fei? Maybe! But it's not her business after all, since she hasn't even seen that Rong Fei and doesn't think much of her.

  Thinking of this, he decided to leave, but unexpectedly, Qing Mei spoke again the next moment, and what she said successfully stopped Han Xi Tong's departing footsteps once more.

  "Tomorrow is also Your Highness's birthday!"

  "What!?! Xuan Mei Chen's birthday!?"

  This time, Han Xi's eyes were stunned, and her tone was slightly raised.

  And it seemed like she had thought of something. It turned out that Qing Mei was not crying because of Rong Fei's matter, but because of Jing Mei Chen!

  Although she hasn't been with Qing Mei for a long time, it's not hard to see her affection for Jing Mei Chen.

  As soon as he thought of Xuan Mei Chen, Han Xi Tong's heart was also filled with sympathy.

  Because Jing Mei Chen is like a man with many heartaches, always gloomy and unhappy, the sorrow between his eyebrows makes people can't help but feel sorry for him.

  I didn't know what kind of past he had before, which led him to become what he is now.

  But just now I heard Qingmei's words, Rong Fei Niangniang's death anniversary and Xuan Mei Chen's birthday are on the same day, it's really a heart-wrenching day.

  Just as Han Xi was feeling sorry for Xuan Mei Chen, that guy's green plum, perhaps because he had been holding back his emotions for too long, finally found someone to vent to. Although this person was not usually liked by her, people are strange creatures and now that she had finally found someone to talk to, she wouldn't let go of the opportunity. So, she poured out all the things she had been suppressing in her heart.

  "Yes, the anniversary of Concubine Zhen's death and Your Highness' birthday are on the same day! Ah, so these past few days must have been the most difficult for you. You're a good person, but why is your fate so bitter?! Heaven is so cruel, none of this is Your Highness' fault, why does it all have to fall on your shoulders?"

  The more Qing Mei spoke, the more sorrowful her crying became. Finally, after wiping away tears and nose mucus with a silk handkerchief handed to her by Han Xi Tong, she looked at him with a twitching mouth corner and continued speaking without finishing what she was saying.

  "All these years, Your Highness has been living in pain and gradually stopped smiling. He even refused to take his medicine. His birthday hasn't been celebrated for a long time either. It's also the anniversary of his mother's passing, how could he possibly celebrate his own birthday? But I really want to celebrate his birthday once, I want him to be happy for once, I don't want him to always live in sorrow..."

  When he heard Qingmei crying, Han Xi's eyes were a bit confused.

  Not taking medicine, not loving laughter?

  No way!?!

  Didn't she see him drinking medicine these two days? And today when they were having a snowball fight, he was laughing very happily!

  Han Xi Tong was puzzled in her heart, but she didn't know that when she was with him, Xuan Mei Chen would come alive like a person, rather than just being a walking corpse.

  Perhaps it was because of this that Qing Mei's heart was bitter and jealous at the same time, but for Han Xi Tong, she was full of hope.

  Perhaps this woman in front of me is the only one who can make Your Highness feel a little better.

  Although it hurts so much in my heart! After all, seeing the man I've liked for so long change because of another woman, if it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to bear it either!

  However, in order to make Your Highness happy, she is willing to do whatever it takes!

  As she thought of this, Qing Mei suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Han Xi Tong, who was caught off guard, scaring him so much that he looked like he had been struck by lightning, his face filled with disbelief.

  "Hey, you, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"

  Han Xi's eyes were thoroughly frightened by Qing Mei's actions, and he was also remorseful in his heart. Why do these ancient people always kneel down at every turn!

  Although it's common in this feudal era, she is a new human being who has been educated to be equal since childhood. Although sometimes it's very unequal, but no one would kneel down for themselves, right?

  At the thought of this, Han Xi immediately reached out to help Qing Mei up. But this time, Qing Mei seemed to have made some kind of decision, her expression also stubbornly strong. Then she cried out with a mixture of pleading and threats.

  "Miss, I'm asking you for one thing now, if Miss doesn't agree, I won't get up."

  "Hey, let's talk this out properly, you get up first. People are watching and they'll think I'm bullying you."

  Han Xi Tong said as she planned to help Qing Mei up. After all, on such a cold day, kneeling on the ground was quite miserable.

  Unfortunately, she underestimated Qing Mei's determination, and if she couldn't get her consent, she would resolutely refuse to get up.

  Seeing this, Han Xi's eyes were filled with regret and helplessness, but in the end, she still softened a little.

  "Hey, you go first, what do you want me to agree to?"

  She reached out and pressed the bridge of her nose, Han Xi's eyes were somewhat helpless. However, Qing Mei knew that Han Xi had some soft spots in her heart, so she was delighted and quickly said.

  "I want to, Miss, celebrate the young master's birthday just once, let him be happy..." Because, the young master has not celebrated his own birthday for ten years already, and every year on his birthday, he becomes even more withdrawn, it pains her heart.

  His cold eyes saw Qingmei crying and kneeling, thinking it was a big deal, so after hearing Qingmei's words, his eyes slightly widened, with a hint of astonishment flashing at the bottom.

  "Is that all?!"

  "En. That's all."

  Qing Mei looked at Han Xi's slightly stunned face and knew her inner surprise.

  Because in people's eyes, it was just a birthday celebration, originally a simple matter, but if the object had changed to Your Highness, it would have been different.

  One year, she boldly celebrated the birthday of the palace owner, but unexpectedly, that year, the palace owner had a huge fire and his face was gloomy. Moreover, for three whole months, he didn't say a single word to her.

  Although he had never been hostile to her, such silent coldness made her even more uncomfortable.

  So from then on, every year on the prince's birthday, she didn't dare to be presumptuous again. However, despite this, in her heart, she still hoped that the prince could celebrate his birthday once more, just like ordinary people do. But she knew that all of this was just a hope.

  Until the appearance of this woman in front of me.

  Mingming was a woman who had just appeared for two short days, but in the heart of the emperor, she was different!

  She's not blind, she can naturally see that Your Highness is different to her! Although she doesn't know why Your Highness is different to her, however, she knows that this woman has already occupied Your Highness' heart!

  It's only when Your Highness is with this woman that you become somewhat like a human being.

  Your Highness took the medicine because of this woman!

  Before, no matter how long she had persuaded the emperor, the emperor would only say lightly that he wouldn't live for a long time whether he took medicine or not, so what was the point of taking medicine? At that time, the emperor was desperate and had given up on himself.

  However, now His Highness will take the initiative to drink medicine, which is already a hint that he wants to live on because of this woman in front of him...

  Although it's a bit bitter in her heart, she has been following the lord for many years, just hoping to see him happy. Even if the person who makes him happy is not herself, she still feels happy for the lord.

  So at this moment, Qing Mei put aside her previous animosity towards Han Xi Tong, and humbly knelt down in front of her, all for the man she loved.

  Han Xi didn't know about this at all!

  "Get up, it's just a birthday, I promised you."

  "Really!?"

  For Han Xi Tong's words, Qing Mei was somewhat disbelieving, but her face had already burst into laughter.

  Han Xi Tong looked at the infatuated woman in front of her, actually, she had long since lost any disgust towards her.

  Actually, she never disliked this green plum, but rather always regarded herself as a love rival.

  However, when I saw Qingmei kneeling down for the man she loved earlier, she was actually very shocked in her heart, and also had some admiration for this Qingmei.

  People who selflessly dedicate themselves for their loved ones are truly rare! People who value relationships and righteousness, such individuals are hardly seen in this era!

  Xuān Mèi Chén, actually still very lucky!

  In her mind, Han Xi Tong helped Fu Qing Mei up, and with a slight curl of the corner of her mouth, she burst into a dazzling and captivating smile.

  "Of course it's true! Hurry up and get up, didn't you say I should celebrate the birthday of your highness? Then you have to help out a bit, so don't kneel and hurt yourself, the ground is very cold!"

  Han Xi's eyes curved into a smile, but he didn't notice that this smile had fallen into Qing Mei's heart, both astonishing and bitter.

  She lost!

  Because of this woman in front of me, she is incomparable no matter what!

  Her eyebrows are like a painted eyebrow, her eyes are like water, her skin is as white as snow, and she can be blown away by the wind. Her red lips are like a lotus flower, this is a face that can drive people crazy!

  And her face blooming with a smile, so beautiful and elegant, with unparalleled sincerity, pure, just like the lotus flower after a heavy rain, beautifully refreshing and unique.

  Only such a woman can be worthy of Your Highness!?!

  Qing Mei sighed inwardly, but no longer had the intention of competing with Han Xi for anything.

  Because she has self-awareness, she is just the daughter of a lower-ranking official. If it's said that she's special, it's only because her late mother was the wet nurse of the lord, which is why the lord doesn't treat her with such coldness as others.

  However, she knew that His Highness was heartless towards her!

  But even so, she was delighted, as long as she could stay by her beloved's side, she was content...

  ……

  Heavy snow is falling, and the wind and snow are raging, making it difficult for people to move forward!

  Winter nights are like a devil's face that makes people fearful!

  Due to its unpredictable weather and the snowstorms that can arise at any time, it's enough to freeze one's blood!

  At this moment, on this stormy and snowy night with a harsh environment, there was a group of over ten people with horses, who were blocked by the wind and snow and could no longer move forward. Therefore, they had to stop in front of a brightly lit inn.

  The shopkeeper in the inn saw him and hurriedly braved the strong wind and snow, put on a professional smile and quickly came forward to greet him.

  After all, looking at this group of people, although they are simply dressed, however, just those people's stern expressions, and that simple yet luxurious carriage, it can be known that the person inside the carriage is not an ordinary person!

  With this in mind, the shopkeeper, who has been in this line for a long time and has seen countless people, had already sensed 70-80% of it and naturally wouldn't be slow!

  Then, he hastily walked over and let the other servants lead away the horses before the shopkeeper waited with a smile for the people in the carriage.

  Because, just by looking at this luxurious carriage and the two fine horses in front of it, one can tell that they are of high quality, but without knowing what kind of noble person is inside.

  As he thought of this, the shopkeeper became somewhat curious, so when the curtain of the carriage slowly opened from inside and a white hand appeared, the shopkeeper's gaze was immediately drawn over.

  In his heart, he thought that such a fair and delicate hand would never have done any rough work before, and with its tender skin, it must be the young master of a wealthy family!

  I don't know what kind of person has such fair and delicate hands!

  What an impressive appearance!

  Just as the shopkeeper was thinking about it, when he saw the owner of the hand come out, he felt somewhat disappointed.

  After all, the young man in front of him was only about 10 years old, but he looked quite handsome. He had just been guessing wildly that someone who could sit in such a good horse carriage must be an extraordinary person!

  Although that was the case, the smile on Xiao Er's face did not diminish, and he was just about to greet this man in green. Unexpectedly, after jumping down from the carriage, this man in green bowed his waist, with a respectful expression, lifted one corner of the carriage, and spoke softly to the person inside.

  "Master, we've arrived at the inn, please get off the carriage."

  Having said that, the young man in green clothes was already half squatting beside the carriage, waiting for the person he called master to get off the carriage.

  Upon hearing the green-robed man's words, the shopkeeper's gaze involuntarily fell on the horse carriage once again.

  At this moment, a slender hand as white as jade appeared in his line of sight, and immediately made the shopkeeper's eyes flash with surprise.

  Because of this hand, the skin is like condensed milk, whiter than the purest white jade, with slender fingers and distinct joints, even the fingernails are neatly trimmed. Under the lamp's illumination, it shines with a faint luster, making people want to reach out and grasp it!

  And this hand is the most beautiful hand that the shopkeeper has ever seen! At a glance, it's clear that only someone who has been pampered and privileged can have such a hand!

  Just as the shopkeeper's heart was captivated by a hand, when he saw the owner of that hand appear in his line of sight, the shopkeeper felt like he had been struck by lightning, and stood frozen on the spot, with a face, round eyes wide open, small mouth slightly agape, and a look of utter astonishment.

  A cold face can't hide her natural beauty!

  That was a beautiful girl about sixteen or seventeen years old. Except for a head of black hair tied up with a ribbon, her whole body was snowy white.

  That snow-white fox fur coat, set him off as if he were a celestial being, standing proudly and aloofly, as if a fairy had descended to the mortal world, making people dare only gaze from afar, but not profane him!

  Exquisite beauty, noble temperament! Enough to make people all over the world go crazy and infatuated!

  Even a shopkeeper who has seen countless people is infatuated with the beautiful person in front of him, and for a long time he cannot come to his senses!

  It wasn't until the man in green reminded him repeatedly that he slowly came back to his senses.

  Unexpectedly, he just caught a glimpse of the white-clothed person's cold and stern gaze. In an instant, it was as if a basin of icy water had been poured directly over his head, freezing the shopkeeper's limbs and making him shiver violently.

  Uh...

  What a cold gaze!

  Though beautiful, she is too cold!

  All it takes is a cold glance to send someone straight from heaven to hell!

  The shopkeeper noticed that the temperature around him had dropped by several degrees...

  Moreover, as he welcomed this noble young man in, the shopkeeper naturally compared the noble young man before him to the man who had come into the store earlier that day.

  The shopkeeper was once again amazed by the group of people who had just arrived, and that handsome man in red clothes.

  Just then, a man in red clothes slowly and elegantly walked down from the second floor staircase.

  It just so happened that at this time, the white-clothed man and the red-clothed man on the second floor had a brief encounter. The two men saw each other, and their faces were momentarily stunned, but what was different was that when the red-clothed man saw the white-clothed man, his handsome yet pale face immediately burst into a brilliant smile, just about to greet the white-clothed man. However, upon coming into contact with the white-clothed man's icy face, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

  Those beautiful peach blossom eyes now had a hint of guilt and bitterness in them.

  In her heart, she couldn't help but sigh, it's been two months already, and Seventh Brother still hasn't forgiven him...

  But thinking about it, although they are brothers who grew up together since childhood and have a deep affection for each other, as the saying goes, "A brother's wife is not to be trifled with!"

  It's no wonder that Seventh Brother was angry! I just hope he won't cut ties with him because of this matter in the future...

  Just as Yang Lie was thinking, a young man in green clothes on the first floor saw Yang Lie upstairs and leaned slightly against Yang Xiao Ran's side, asking softly.

  "Master, it's the Fourth Highness, should we..." go back...

  "Change hotels!"

  Xiao Dezi's words had not yet finished, when Xuan Xiao Ran immediately spat out these three words with a cold face!

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Dezi's heart was filled with sorrow and bitterness. In fact, what he had wanted to say just now was: "The Fourth Prince is over there; do we want to go over?"

  Unexpectedly, the master of the house said such a thing!

  Change hostel! ?

  He is now very tired, he is a eunuch, not a martial artist, these days have been following his own master east and west, tired like an ox.

  Although tired, Xiao Dezi didn't dare complain, but couldn't help wondering in his heart what had happened that night.

  One evening, Blue Phoenix invited the two princesses to join Fourth Prince and himself. At first, they were chatting and laughing together. However, after Fourth Prince and Han Gongzhu left, he began to feel restless.

  Finally, he suddenly and quickly left his seat, and even walked very fast. He accidentally twisted his foot while chasing after the lord of his own house. When he returned to the Xiao Ya Palace, the Xiao Ya Palace was completely turned upside down!

  He only knew that the two princes had a fight, and later the emperor was assassinated. The war between the two princes stopped, and they both rushed to the Nurturing Heart Palace together.

  However, since that night, the two men seemed to have a deep hatred for him, and they looked at him with cold sweat. Moreover, since that night, Miss Han completely disappeared.

  His Highness that night was like a madman, smashing everything in the Xiao Ya Palace, getting drunk and shouting wildly.

  However, what he shouted most was Xiaoguang's name, and then why she betrayed him.

  It was his first time seeing His Highness in this state, and it almost scared him to death.

  The next day, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince came to Xiao Ya Palace together. After dismissing everyone, he stood guard outside the door and only vaguely heard something about the Blue Phoenix and the Second Princess of Chao.

  Finally, the master of the house rushed towards Yayun Hall like a madman, as if he wanted to kill someone. Fortunately, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince intervened at that time.

  Later on, His Highness began searching for Miss Han's whereabouts day and night, and he was also following His Highness running around.

  The fourth prince was the same, and after that day, he also went to find out about Han's whereabouts. However, occasionally when he met with his own prince, he would also get a cold butt from his own prince.

  As for His Highness the Crown Prince, since the Emperor was stabbed and only suffered a minor injury to his arm, those who attempted the assassination have all died, so it is naturally impossible to investigate any clues.

  Moreover, they did not want the emperor's assassination attempt to be made public and cause panic, so the imperial palace suppressed this matter, and few people knew about it.

  However, the Crown Prince also secretly sent someone to investigate the assassination attempt. Since the Emperor was injured, he told outsiders that he had contracted a cold and let the Crown Prince handle state affairs.

  The prince is currently busy with important matters in the court, but it seems that he has also sent someone to find out about Miss Han's whereabouts...

  As for the Blue Phoenix, it bid farewell to the two princesses and left the imperial palace the next day.

  However, he had never forgotten the gloomy and sharp gaze that his Highness had cast towards Princess Lanfeng at that time...

  Uh, now that I think about it, he's still going to get a thrill out of it!

  I don't know how the two princesses offended their own lord. However, relying on his years of following their own lord, although at that time it seemed like their own master was hiding something, from their own master's gloomy gaze, he knew that their own master was not a good person to mess with...

  Xiu returned, Xiao Dezi was following Xiang Shaoyan's back, planning to leave and change inns. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's face hesitated for a moment before immediately chasing after them.

  "Sir, is there something you're not satisfied with in our store? Please come in and speak frankly. Besides, I'm not the one saying this, but within a few miles around here, only our family's inn is open for business. And considering the storm outside, it's really not good to be traveling..."

  Although Xiao Er didn't know what was wrong with this old man, what he said now is actually true!

  Xiao Dezi heard what the shopkeeper said and also echoed in a low voice.

  "Yes, master, just for one night, if you don't want to see... uh, can go to the room to rest and have a meal..."

  Xiao Dezi's next words were immediately retracted back into his belly by a cold glance from Xuan Xiang.

  Seeing his own master determined to leave, Xiao Dezi seemed to have thought of something and said with a sudden realization.

  "Right, I remember that the Sixth Prince's secondary residence is nearby. Why don't we go stay there for the night?"
