Uncle Quan didn’t ask why Su Xiaoxiao suddenly wanted the Saintess’s personal items. He only said, “What items are you referring to?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “For example… her handwritten letter, handkerchief, and jewelry.”

Uncle Quan pondered and said, “The Saintess mainly lives in the Holy Maiden Temple and only returns to the Cheng family occasionally. She doesn’t have many personal items, but she should have them. Coincidentally, we’re going to remove the pests soon. I’ll find an opportunity to try.”

“Weiwei! Weiwei!”

Cheng Sang ran in excitedly.

Recently, her body had been getting better and she ran quickly.

She pulled Su Xiaoxiao’s hand. “I want to go out and play!”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three sneaky heads outside the door. “They want to go out and play, right?”

They were so mischievous that they knew how to fool Cheng Sang.

After the three little fellows came to the southern border, they had indeed not gone out to play properly. Occasionally, they would go on the streets and quickly return.

Su Xiaoxiao’s heart ached for them and she wanted to take Cheng Sang and Princess Hui An out to relax.

Su Xiaoxiao, Mei Ji, Cheng Sang, Princess Hui An, and the three little ones sat in the carriage leaving the manor.

Yuchi Xiu secretly followed.

There was a lantern show tonight, and the streets were very lively.

The three little fellows shouted excitedly.

Everyone was wearing masks. It seemed to be a special lantern meeting.

“Mother, Xiaohu wants to have it!”

Xiaohu pointed at a fierce fang mask.

Su Xiaoxiao asked the three of them to choose one each.

The three brothers had the same aesthetic taste and took identical ones.

Princess Hui An took a fancy to a Vermillion Bird mask, and Mei Ji chose a silver fox mask.

Cheng Sang wanted it all and carried a lot in her arms.

Su Xiaoxiao was caught between laughter and tears. She took a phoenix mask and put it on her. Su Xiaoxiao wore a peacock feather.

Cheng Sang and the three little ones took the lead and swaggered on the street, disregarding their family!

It had been a long time since Mei Ji had seen such a lively lantern gathering. She looked around and played happily.

Princess Hui An stopped in front of a stall.

She picked up a string of red bean bracelets and asked, “How much is this?”

The old lady, who was stringing bracelets, said kindly, “Two taels of silver,

Miss.”

Princess Hui An had the money bag that Su Xiaoxiao had given her. She lowered her head to take out the silver.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded beside her. “Hui An?”

Princess Hui An turned her head in a daze.

The other party took off the mask on her face and was dumbfounded. “…It’s really you!”

Xiao Shunyang never dreamed that he would see Hui An on the streets of the southern border.

He happened to pass by and heard Hui An’s voice.

Princess Hui An was even more surprised than him.

She had not forgotten why she had escaped. If she was captured by her second brother, she would have to marry the third prince of the Southern Wilderness.

She didn’t want her mask anymore and turned to leave!

She couldn’t go to her sidekick.

On the contrary, she had to lure Second Brother away and not let him discover her sidekick.

She pushed her way through the crowd in the opposite direction and into an empty alley.

She was only waiting to cross this alley and enter the winery opposite.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave the alley, she was blocked by Xiao

Shunyang, who had descended from the sky.

A trace of panic flashed across Princess Hui An’s eyes.

She backed away slowly.

Xiao Shunyang frowned and pressed forward. “Why are you in the southern border? You’re even alone on the streets… dressed like this?” This was definitely not the dress of a princess.

“You secretly came to the southern border? What happened?”

When Xiao Shunyang left the capital, Princess Hui An had yet to be betrothed.

However, Xiao Shunyang was not stupid after all.

He could guess some clues.

Xiao Shunyang said with a dark expression, “You don’t have the guts to do this alone. Who brought you here?”

Princess Hui An refused to say a word.

Xiao Shunyang walked towards her step by step. “If you don’t tell me, I can only bring you back to ask Father!”

Princess Hui An’s expression changed. “No!”

Xiao Shunyang said seriously, “Then follow me!”

Princess Hui An shook her head. “I’m not going with you… Second Brother, can you pretend that you’ve never seen me? I don’t want to go back… I don’t want to be a princess anymore…”

Xiao Shunyang frowned and said, “Don’t you even want Father anymore? Or can you abandon your mother and third brother!”

Princess Hui An held her breath.

Xiao Shunyang continued, “Have you thought about the consequences of leaving just like that? If Father can’t find you, how will he vent his anger on Consort Xian and King An?”

Princess Hui An’s eyes turned red. “Father dotes on Mother and won’t bear to punish her.”

Xiao Shunyang looked at her solemnly. ‘What about King An? He’s not a favored prince.”

Princess Hui An’s fatal acupoint was hit.

Xiao Shunyang had no ill intentions towards Hui An.

Hui An was his sister. He only wanted to bring his sister back.

No matter what decision his father made, as his son, he should follow his father’s decree.

It was the same for Hui An.

Xiao Shunyang extended his hand. “Hui An, follow me.”

“I…” Princess Hui An’s eyes were red, and tears rolled down her face.

Xiao Shunyang reached out to grab her.

She suddenly took a step back and looked at Xiao Shunyang firmly.

“Third Brother won’t want me to go back! He’s different from you! You only treat me as the princess of the Great Zhou. Only Third Brother treats me as his sister! Third Brother won’t want to see me jump into the fire pit! I won’t go with you!”

Xiao Shunyang sighed. “Hui An, in my heart, you’re also my biological sister. I’m doing this for your own good. If you really escaped on your own, Father will be furious.”

Princess Hui An said, “Let me go for my own good. Don’t force me to do something I don’t want to do!”

“Looks like I can’t talk to you anymore.” With that, Xiao Shunyang raised his hand to grab Hui An’s wrist, planning to take her away forcefully.

However, just as he was about to touch her, a sharp sword qi slashed down from the sky, instantly forcing Xiao Shunyang back a few steps.

A white-robed man wearing a jade mask landed in front of Princess Hui An.

He held his sword and looked at Xiao Shunyang coldly.

“She said she wouldn’t go with you..”
