The carriage went along the official road and stopped in front of an inn in the evening.

Chunsheng jumped off the carriage, and Xia Ying reached out and knocked on the carriage door, saying softly: "Girl, Your Highness, the inn has arrived."

After a while, Lu Jiuqing walked out of the carriage holding the sleeping Mo Chengning.

When Xia Ying saw it, she subconsciously reached out to pick up Mo Chengning, but Lu Jiuqing dodged him: "No, I'll do it myself."

Xia Ying was a little worried: "The girl's body..."

"Although it's not as good as before, I still have the strength to hold a child."

When Xia Ying heard what she said, she stopped talking and only carefully guarded Lu Jiuqing's side.

Chun Sheng saw the two of them entering the inn door, and then led the carriage to the backyard. After he settled down and returned to the front, Xia Ying had already asked the shopkeeper to open a room and was sending Lu Jiuqing into the room to rest.

Lu Jiuqing was very frugal, but he was extremely willing to spend money on Mo Chengning. He was afraid that someone would make noise and disturb Mo Chengning's sleep, so he directly booked the second floor of the inn, making the innkeeper's eyes roll with laughter.

Lu Jiuqing carefully placed Mo Chengning on the bed, pulled the quilt over him, then flicked his wrist, stood up and walked out.

Xia Ying and Chunsheng were both standing in the room, waiting for Lu Jiuqing's instructions.

Lu Jiuqing came out and saw the two of them, with complicated expressions on their faces.

She didn't know Chun Sheng, but she heard Mo Chengning say on the road that Chun Sheng was the one who sent Mo Chengning to the capital. In the two years she was away, Chun Sheng was also the one who took care of Mo Chengning. She had such affection for him. Not much to say.

Needless to say, Xia Ying is an old acquaintance, and there is some kind of friendship between them no matter what, it is even harder to say.

She took Mo Chengning away, originally intending to leave quietly, but she underestimated the secret guard Mo Xiao placed next to her. There were so many pairs of eyes staring at her that she could not escape.

This time, if it weren't for Mo Chengning, she wouldn't have been able to escape.

The price for escaping was to have these two people by his side.

Seeing Lu Jiuqing sizing them up, Chunsheng and Xia Ying couldn't help but beat their hearts, fearing that Lu Jiuqing would drive them away.

Before Lu Jiuqing spoke, the two decided to strike preemptively.

"Don't worry, young lady, I am someone close to His Highness. His Highness has an order not to allow me to contact His Majesty. I will never disobey His Highness's order. As long as I am with the girl and Your Highness, I can also help the girl run errands." I have to do some work, so please don’t drive me away.”

Chunsheng's tone was sincere.

Xia Ying also said quickly: "Girl, me too. If I don't contact His Majesty, girl, just keep me by your side."

She pursed her lips and whispered: "After all, the girl and your highness are not skilled in martial arts. It is always unsafe to walk outside. With Chunsheng and I here, we can protect the girl and your highness."

Before Lu Jiuqing opened his mouth, they finished talking.

Lu Jiuqing's eyes moved, and after a while he said, "Well, thank you very much."

Chunsheng and Xia Ying immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then waved their hands repeatedly: "This is what we should do."

"If anything happens, just ask me, girl."

Lu Jiuqing nodded. Although he agreed, he was still polite to them.

After all, they listened to Mo Chengning's words, not hers. She is very clear about her identity.

After sending the two people away, Lu Jiuqing returned to the bed. Looking at Mo Chengning's sleeping face, Lu Jiuqing still couldn't believe that he actually escaped.
