Chapter 29: Chance Encounter in the Crowd

ve her a good look. "You do owe an apology. He broke his arm and will be punished by the master. It's hard to say if the master will let him live. If he dies, it'll all be your fault. Why couldn't you...The convoy streamed through the city gate. The guards at the gate glanced at the pass, and when they saw the three characters "King Wu Xuan," their faces changed. They didn't even dare to ask the usual questions and immediately let them through. They then quickly sent someone to notify the commanding officer of the city.

When the city commander arrived, the caravan had already settled in the largest inn in town. The station was of very average quality, and for a pampered nobleman like King Wu Xuan, he wouldn't stay at a station if there were any other options.

Qin Luoyan followed Fu Zimu off the carriage. When she saw a row of women in thin clothes standing at the inn's entrance, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she discreetly glanced at Fu Zimu.

It seems that the legend of King Wu Xuan's promiscuity is well-known throughout the land.

The beauties were brought by the city commander, of course to please Fu Zimu. The city commander was a man in his forties, and they say men at this age are the most dissolute. This commander probably guessed Fu Zimu's preferences based on his own.

Qin Luo'yan was rather curious about Fu Zimo's reaction, so she stared intently at his profile.

"Finished looking" Fu Zimo turned his head and glared at her, but there was no expression on his face, only a clear impatience when he looked at those chattering women.

Unfortunately, the general in charge didn't notice Fu Zimu's displeasure. Instead, he pushed a stunningly beautiful woman beside him, "What are you still standing there for Hurry up and attend to him."

The beautiful woman smiled shyly and indeed walked towards Fu Zimo. She smiled charmingly and blushed, every step she took displayed her figure, such a graceful beauty was truly unique, even Qin Luo'yan couldn't help but look at her several times more.

But, as the beautiful woman had only taken two steps, Fu Zimo let out a soft hum, "Such ugliness, daring to appear before this king and show off"

So ugly...

Fu Zi Mo's evaluation caused the beauty's face to turn pale, her steps faltered, and the leg she had raised was suspended in mid-air, forgetting to come down.

The city commander broke out in a cold sweat and quickly pulled the man back. "My lord, please forgive me! If my lord is not satisfied, I will immediately have some clever people come."

The commander had a relative who held office in the capital. Hearing that King Wu Xuan was welcoming Princess Yongling back to the capital and would pass by his city, he specially sent word to inform him about King Wu Xuan's preferences. His relative said that once King Wu Xuan became unhappy, he liked to kill for pleasure.

So now Fu Zimo was clearly unhappy, how could he not make that guard feel terrified

"Jin Mu, get rid of these people. This king is tired." Fu Zi Mo entered the inn and no longer looked at those people.

Jin Mu walked up to the general in charge of guarding the city and said, "Send all of them away. No need to look for the women either. The lord needs to recuperate these few days."

Self-cultivation

Upon hearing this, Qin Luoyan's lips twitched. Wasn't the person who had been demanding her relentlessly every night these past few days

However, the general in charge was unaware of these matters and promptly agreed to Jinmu's request, leading his men away.

The entire inn was taken over, but in a short while, it was replaced with Fu Zi Mo's people inside and out. After a day of tiring travel, everyone was exhausted, even the arrogant Xiao Changyue sisters returned to their rooms to rest.

After Jinmu had the guards in place, he found Qin Luoyan and gave her fifty taels of silver. "The King said to get you some warm clothes in town," he said.

Qin Luoyan was taken aback, took the silver, and still had some doubt in her eyes, "Is it really his order"

"Of course. The prince still cares about the young lady." Jin Mu said this sentence, even he felt no confidence.

Qin Luo'yan didn't respond, but she and Yingsheng's clothes were indeed a bit thin. She took the silver and was about to leave with Yingsheng. Jin Mu even specially found two tall and strong soldiers to follow them.

They call it protection, claiming to safeguard their safety. But everyone knows that this so-called protection is nothing more than surveillance in disguise.

As dusk settled, the small vendors in the city began packing up to go home. Only a few larger shops remained open. Qin Luoyan walked with Yingsheng, noticing that he kept shrinking back behind her, seemingly afraid of these crowded places with so many merchants.

She knew he must have been sold many times, which is why he had such a haunted look.

"Yīngshēng, don't be afraid, sister is here, from now on no one will sell you away." Qín Luòyān held his hand and led him to a stall owner who was about to close up shop. The stall owner sold little clay figures of people, each strung on long bamboo poles. Every figure had a strange and peculiar expression.

She took a clay figurine and handed it to the boy next to her, "Do you like it If you do, sister will buy you one"

Yisheng stared intently at the noodles, carefully examining them. He had only ever seen this from afar before, but no one had ever bought it for him. After all, he was only six years old, and his curiosity couldn't be contained.

Seeing that he couldn't take his eyes away, Qin Luoyan bought one for him. Yisheng took the face and unconsciously revealed a faint smile.

For so many days, Qin Luoyan had still seen his smile for the first time. This way, it was good, at least, already a good beginning.

After purchasing the noodles, Qin Luoyan took Yisheng toward a tailor shop ahead. Just as they left, several people walked out from around the corner.

"Jin Chu, did you see him just now" Yin Qi quickened his pace and walked forward a few steps, but the crowd surged past, and he could no longer find the person.

Jin Chu, who followed behind him, felt baffled, "Master, what did you see I didn't see anything, is there danger"

Yin Qi shook his head, sighed, "It's nothing, I must have been seeing things." It had to be seeing things, otherwise how could he have thought he saw her.

In the clothing store, Liu Luoyan was trying on clothes with Yisheng. The shopkeeper, a shrewd man, saw that there were two soldiers guarding Qin Luoyan and immediately knew they were powerful buyers. He put his best effort into recommending all sorts of fine garments to them.

"Yīshēng, come here, try this on." Qín Luòyān picked up a fluffy-looking fur coat and then put on a matching hat. "Looks like a little hunter at first glance, hehe."

Yisheng's hands were all frostbitten, he carefully touched the clothes, the warmth he felt in his palm softened his entire appearance.

Qin Luo Yan gently wrapped the clothes around him, “From now on, following your sister, you won't be cold or hungry. The past is over, let’s slowly adapt to the future together, okay”

Yisheng blinked his eyes but still didn't speak, only nodding. He looked around the shop and then pointed to a piece of clothing in the corner.
