Then, she saw Xue Sifu leaning against the wall with his arms crossed in the alley. He was looking at her with a smile. She was stunned at first, but then the corners of her lips curled up.

Then, she looked at the thing in her hand.

It turned out to be a wordless paper ball with a small stone wrapped inside.

Princess Jin threw the paper ball away before leaning forward and extending a hand downward. He was hiding in fear of being seen by others, it was obvious that this person had secretly come to Changyu. They had to leave and be out of sight quickly.

Xue Sifu was a smart person, so he naturally understood. His hand immediately rested on her hand. Then, she pulled him onto the horse and sat behind him.

He took the reins and whip from her hands and controlled the horse. He brought her away to the suburbs and away from the alley.

They arrived at the outskirts of the city. There was a lake next to it, and the blue sky and white clouds were all reflected in it. The trees beside the lake formed a shade. Xue Sifu controlled the horse to ride beside the lake.

Then, they got off the horse.

Xue Sifu tied the horse to a tree. When he turned around, he saw Princess Jin crossing her arms and looking at him with a half-smile. He was immediately amused. “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you not recognize me? It seems that we were destined to meet at Changyu.”

“What are you doing here?” Princess Jin couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you alone?”

“No, the two children are here too.”

“The Crown Prince and Jiang Yue are here?” Princess Jin frowned. “Is there something going on? Otherwise, why would he come here?

“It kind of is a big deal, but it can also be considered a small deal.” As he spoke, Xue Sifu unconsciously looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he still lowered his voice. “We are here to capture Prince Yi.”

Prince Yi?

“Where is he?” Princess Jin tensed up and immediately asked.

Xue Sifu glanced at her. “Take a guess.”

Princess Jin thought about how he had been hiding in the alleyway just now. Moreover, he was not far from Duan Huai’s manor. She frowned again. “He’s in the Northern General’s manor?”

Xue Sifu nodded, indicating that she was right.

“How could that be…” Princess Jin frowned. “How can Duan Huai protect Prince Yi… No wonder I heard from the Northern Battlefront Army that Duan Huai has been coming home a lot these past few months. He used to come home less than once every ten days.”

Xue Sifu had been watching her expression the whole time. Seeing that she finally understood and did not seem to find it so hard to accept, he knew that even if she was friendly with Duan Huai, she did not have any feelings for him.

“Then why haven’t you caught him yet?” Princess Jin asked anxiously. She was puzzled.

Xue Sifu smiled. “We found Prince Yi, but we didn’t see the two mysterious masked men. Didn’t Prince Yi get rescued by the two mysterious masked men in your residence? We wanted to wait and see if we could catch all of them in one fell swoop. But we aren’t staying for too long. At most, we’ll be here for a month. It’s already been four days, so there are still more than twenty days left. I hope the two mysterious men appear. Otherwise, there will be more problems in the future.”

“That’s true.” Princess Jin nodded.

“Why did you come to Changyu?” Xue Sifu asked.

Princess Jin told him about the problem with the horses that Jingyue had sold to the imperial court. After saying this, she said, “If I hadn’t met you, I would have gone back to the posthouse to bring people back to Jingyue.”

“Did you eat at Duan Huai’s house just now?”

“Yes, his stepmother invited me to a banquet. Usually, the two families would visit each other, so it would have been rude for me to refuse, so I went. If she didn’t invite me to a banquet, I would probably be on my way back to Jingyue right now.”
