Free Web NovelChapter 1213: Chapter 30: Love’s Debt (Part 6)
Whether King Beimo and the Beimo Empress can recognize the sun-tanned Princess Yinchuan is still unknown.
But it’s certain that King Beimo’s hidden guards can’t recognize Princess Yinchuan.
At a tea stall, Princess Yinchuan sat there gulping down water.
She happened to see her father’s hidden guards dismount from their horses and come over for tea as well.
She might not recognize the other hidden guards, but she’s seen her personal guards countless times.
Exhausted and startled upon seeing the hidden guards, Princess Yinchuan choked and coughed incessantly.
The hidden guard glanced over—
Their eyes met.
The hidden guard couldn’t recognize Princess Yinchuan.
At this moment, the tea stall served noodles, and Princess Yinchuan lowered her head to eat.
The hidden guard glanced several times, his gaze meeting Su Yang’s.
Su Yang’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam.
He was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
The hidden guard ate a bowl of noodles, put down money, and rode away.
While leaving, he looked back, and another guard asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I thought that gentleman looked a bit like our Princess Yinchuan," the hidden guard replied.
"How’s that possible?"
Our princess has skin like creamy jade, delicate and flawless.
This gentleman doesn’t even look fair among noblemen, let alone our princess.
Moreover, Princess Yinchuan sneaked out of the palace alone, without even a palace maid with her, how could there be a skilled person by her side?
The guards looked back and unanimously thought that the hidden guard was seeing things.
That was clearly just a young man, a bowl of noodles wasn’t enough, he even asked for a meat bun.
Our princess couldn’t even finish half a bowl of noodles, how could she eat so much?
Hmm.
Usually, Princess Yinchuan wouldn’t be able to eat this much at all.
In the palace, at most she would stroll around the Imperial Garden, wander about, read a book, and chase butterflies, hardly expending much energy.
But now it’s different, she has to walk.
If she doesn’t eat her fill, where would she get the energy to walk?
"You should eat more beef," Su Yang said.
Princess Yinchuan stuffed the meat into her mouth voraciously, with no sign of her usual grace and composure.
Mistaking a man for a princess, what kind of eyesight is that?
The hidden guards collectively reprimanded the one guard.
That guard felt a bit sheepish.
Could he really have been wrong?
After the other hidden guards rode off into the distance, he withdrew his gaze, squeezed his horse’s belly, and caught up.
Seeing the hidden guard leave, Princess Yinchuan let out a sigh of relief, Su Yang noticed and asked, "Do you know them?"
"No, no, I don’t know them," Princess Yinchuan denied flatly.
"Really?" Su Yang was a bit suspicious.
"..."
"I’m just afraid they’ll catch me, a little scared," Princess Yinchuan said half-truthfully.
Looking at Princess Yinchuan’s frightened expression, Su Yang had nothing to say.
This kind of fear is really unusual.
Princess Yinchuan was still thinking of finding a chance to distance herself from Su Yang, but now that the hidden guards had found their way to Nanlin, if she was alone, she’d definitely be taken back to Beimo.
No matter what, she had to endure until she reached the Nanlin Capital to find her Imperial Sister.
Chewing toughly on braised beef, Princess Yinchuan ate until she was full, rested for a quarter of an hour, and then set off.
Due to walking, most of the time there were no inns or post stations to stay at, and they could only sleep under the sky.
Looking at her reflection in the river water, Princess Yinchuan thought her face didn’t seem to have gotten any darker.
She felt a bit relieved.
After three days passed, they reached an inn, and she sat at the dressing table.
Princess Yinchuan almost wanted to strangle Su Yang with her bare hands.
Her father’s face was two shades fairer than hers!
Princess Yinchuan rushed downstairs to buy a face mask from Beauty Pavilion, and along the way, she bought some castor bean powder.
Originally, she wanted to buy poison, but she lacked the courage, and besides, Su Yang didn’t know she was a woman, he just took her for a frail man.
A bit of castor bean powder would be enough to vent her frustration.
Holding the castor bean powder, Princess Yinchuan returned to the room, she and Su Yang each had their own room.
Princess Yinchuan ordered a table full of dishes, the errand boy delivered them to the room, and among them was a dish of braised carp, deliciously prepared.
Although they hadn’t been together long, Princess Yinchuan knew Su Yang loved fish.
Once the errand boy left, she poured the castor bean powder onto the braised carp and then poured sauce over it, unknowingly.
After finishing, Princess Yinchuan called the errand boy and said, "Take this dish to the gentleman who came with me, and say it’s from me."
Such a small favor was no problem for the errand boy.
But coincidentally, Su Yang had also ordered braised carp, so he had the errand boy bring it back.
The errand boy was a bit puzzled, these two had entered the inn together, why not eat together?
It was confusing to the errand boy, having company usually made the meal more enjoyable.
The dish was delivered from Princess Yinchuan’s room to Su Yang, but it wasn’t brought back.
