In August, Emperor Chengji issued an edict to Princess Yuanhua and pro-Beihu.

In the future, Princess Xie Zerong of Yuanhua bid farewell to the emperor in Hanyuan Palace and stepped on the chariot of marriage.

The princess's car drove out of the royal capital, all the way north, and rested at the post house in Bac Ninh that night; The next morning, the car that saw off the relatives continued to the north, and no one noticed that a green cloth carriage had left the post house last night and never returned.

Xie Zerong changed into the costume of an ordinary girl and got into the carriage that had already been prepared at the Beining Post House.

She had never been so afraid, more than the last time she escaped from the palace; If Princess Yuanhua is found to be close to her, then I am afraid that many people will be implicated because of this.

She struggled with anxiety all the way to Bac Ninh, but in the end she decided to get into the carriage.

The carriage kept going south, staggering for most of the night, Xie Zerong really couldn't support it, so he leaned on the carriage and squinted groggily, wandering in a half-asleep state; After waking up from the bumps for the first time, she carefully lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, the night was pitch black, and occasionally there were a few sounds of insects, birds and beasts.

She didn't know what this place was, she was just scared of this strange world.

Only then did she see that the back of the driver looked like a woman, so she asked carefully, "Girl, what is this place?" ”

"I'll probably be able to return to the royal capital before dawn. Miss Xie, are you awake? The woman said, still with her back to her.

Hearing the woman call her Miss Xie, Xie Zerong thought that she was no longer Princess Yuanhua, so she smiled: "Well, thank you." ”

The woman then instructed, "Girl, rest well." ”

Xie Zerong nodded, then obediently leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes. In a daze, she seemed to have a dream, in which a beautiful and gentle woman looked at her with a smile and love, calling her name; Xie Zerong thought that it must be her queen mother.

The queen mother stroked her green silk and was very distressed: "My Rong'er, you should be worthy of the best man in this world; Xie Lan, he didn't protect you well! ”

Xie Zerong hurriedly shook his head: "Queen Mother, no, the second emperor brother is really good to me." ”

The queen mother frowned: "My silly boy, what do you know. Xie Lan, he treats you, I'm afraid it's not as good as the daughter born by the Yan family. Otherwise, how could he make you lose your status as a princess! My Rong'er, you have been deceived by him! ”

Seeing the queen mother's face gradually become hideous, Xie Zerong finally woke up from this nightmare.

The person driving the car heard the movement inside and asked worriedly: "Girl, are you okay?" ”

Xie Zerong hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I'm just having a nightmare." Even she couldn't tell why she had such a terrible and strange nightmare.

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, but she didn't dare to sleep again.

The queen mother should blame her very much. The queen mother worked hard to give birth to her, but she was so useless that she was not loved by her father, and now she even lost the position of princess.

Xie Zerong felt very bitter when he thought about it in his heart, and felt sorry for the queen mother.

"Are we going back to the royal capital?" Xie Zerong asked suddenly.

The woman who was driving the car nodded: "His Royal Highness has prepared a place for the girl in the royal capital." ”

Xie Zerong was a little twisted: "But, what if someone recognizes me?" "Although she used to be in the deep palace, there are also some high-ranking ladies who have seen her, in case she is accidentally recognized and she is still in the royal capital, wouldn't it be very dangerous.

The woman who drove the car explained: "Your Royal Highness is not worried that you are outside, only in the royal capital can you still see brother and sister, and you can take care of it." ”

Xie Zerong pouted and did not speak.

It wasn't until the sky was gray and bright, just when the city gate was opened, that they entered the city and went straight to the house that Xie Lan had set up for Xie Zerong; Xie Zerong cautiously lifted the corner of the curtain and looked outside, at this time there were not many pedestrians on the road, and it was very quiet.

When he arrived at the front of the house, Xie Zerong got down from the carriage and saw the woman driving the carriage clearly: "Why are you?" You, you, you ······" Xie Zerong looked very surprised, "You are a woman?" ”

Xuan Jinhuan had expected Xie Zerong to react like this, and said with a slight smile: "I was in Dongjun before, and I really had to cheat the girl, I'm really sorry." ”

Xie Zerong almost cried directly: "How can this be! I thought, I thought······ However, didn't you say that you are the person next to my second imperial brother? My second emperor brother, how is it possible by his side, how can there be a woman! ”

Xuan Jinhuan couldn't laugh or cry a little, she really didn't mean to disguise herself as a man to provoke this little princess, she just said: "I am indeed doing things for His Royal Highness." ”

Xie Zerong bit his lower lip, his expression a little gloomy.

When she entered the house, Xuan Jinhuan gave her a scarf, saying that most of the nobles in the royal capital would cover their faces with gauze when they went out.

"Thank you." Xie Zerong took the scarf and put it on.

Originally, a subordinate had been arranged to do the matter of going to Beining to pick Xie Zerong back, but Xuan Jinhuan was really relieved, so she decided to go to Beining in person, otherwise she might have an unexpected accident in the middle; But it's okay now, it's kind of dangerous.

As for Xie Zerong's always thought that she was a man, she almost forgot that there was still this stubble.

In the evening, Xie Lan sneakily came to visit Xie Zerong, Xie Zerong couldn't help crying when he saw his brother, but he still sobbed and said: "Second Emperor Brother, in the future, don't come to see me often in the future, I'm fine, but if people see it, I'm afraid it's not good." She wiped away her tears and continued, "I'm fine. ”

Xie Lan was relieved to see that Xie Zerong was indeed good, and then thanked Xuan Jinhuan: "Miss Jinhuan, thank you." ”

Xuan Jinhuan saw that Xie Lan's expression was the same, and he didn't seem to care about Xia Xin's matter last time, so he showed a smile and said, "Second Highness, this is what Jin Huan should do." ”

Xie Zerong quietly tugged at Xie Lan's sleeve: "Second Emperor Brother, why didn't you tell me before, she, she is a woman." ”

Xie Lan didn't feel any difference: "Miss Jinhuan is a woman. ”

Xie Zerong felt that he had indeed been deceived, so he turned his back and pretended to ignore Xie Lan.

Xie Lan was a little embarrassed, so she arched her hand to Xuan Jinhuan and said, "The sister has no form, and she also made Miss Jinhuan smile." ”

Xuan Jinhuan smiled indifferently: "Jinhuan doesn't dare." ”

"As Zerong said, I can't come here often, so I'll ask Miss Jinhuan to take care of it." Xie Lan glanced back at Xie Zerong, and said to Xuan Jinhuan, and Xuan Jinhuan responded: "There is no need for His Royal Highness Second Highness to say much, Jinhuan will too." ”
