Gently lifting a corner of the carriage curtain, she looked out to confirm that she had really left the familiar palace. With every step away, the burden in her heart became lighter, and thinking about reuniting with her mother and brother, a smile appeared on her face.

Looking back at the gradually shrinking outline of the imperial city, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. "Father, I'm sorry." Although her father cared for her very much, she longed for the warmth of family more - that was something that only her mother and brother could give her. Since she was a child, they were the ones who accompanied her the most. Even if she had to choose again, she would be willing to make the same decision again.

Memories came flooding back: when her brother was deposed as a prince and her mother was forced to leave the palace to practice Buddhism, she spent her days alone in the empty palace and even thought about leaving this world. But the wheel of fate finally turned and brought new hope. Her brother's return was like a ray of light in the darkness, which rekindled her expectations for life.

After lowering the curtain, Baili Yue sat quietly in the carriage, immersed in the joy of the upcoming trip. However, as time passed, the carriage did not seem to reach its destination. Her curiosity gradually took over, and she couldn't help but stick her head out and ask, "How long will it take for us to see my brother?"

The maid turned around and replied gently, "It will be here soon."

Hearing this, Baili Yue nodded and stopped asking questions. She noticed that the carriage was leaving the bustling city and heading for an unfamiliar place. Although the palace maid reminded her to be careful, she was full of expectations and did not notice anything unusual around her.

As long as she can be reunited with her family, she is willing to face whatever lies ahead bravely. At this moment, she has already outlined a blueprint for her future life in her mind - a new home away from the hustle and bustle and full of love. However, she has not yet thought clearly about how to leave the capital smoothly.

Baili Yue was full of anticipation and worry. The soldiers patrolling the streets made her heart jump to her throat and her palms sweat.

With such strict inspection, how could they leave the city smoothly?

"Brother will definitely find a way..." She comforted herself softly. Since her brother could sneak into the palace without anyone noticing, then taking her away from the city should be no problem.

"Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Every moment of waiting seemed like a year to Baili Yue. Suddenly, the carriage shook violently.

Baili Yue, who was not sitting firmly, tilted her body and hit her forehead against the carriage, causing her to gasp in pain. "Hiss..."

Another shake almost threw her out. She was so scared that she held on to the door frame tightly, her face pale. "What happened?"

Finally, the carriage stopped. Baili Yue was still in shock, with cold sweat on her forehead. She lifted the curtain and looked out tremblingly: "What's going on? Why is the carriage shaking like this?"

The maid also looked nervous, her clothes were a little messy. The driver was injured, his arm was bleeding, and he gritted his teeth to endure the pain.

"Ah! What's going on?" Seeing the driver's condition, Baili Yue shouted in surprise, his eyes wide open.

"Princess, please rest assured." The maid first comforted her, "It's just that the two carriages accidentally collided. It's nothing serious."

Baili Yue looked across the street and saw a carriage also tilted, apparently part of the accident. It turned out that the sight was blocked at the corner, and the two carriages didn't see each other, so they collided.

The driver walked over to negotiate with the other party and finally handed over a heavy bag. The matter seemed to be resolved.

However, their carriage was badly damaged and one of the wheels had fallen off, so it was difficult to move forward. The maid explained to Baili Yue and said, "Princess, we have to change the carriage."

Baili Yue clenched the handkerchief in her hand and nodded with a heavy heart: "Okay."

The driver went to buy a new carriage with his injuries, and the maid asked Baili Yue to wait for a while. Baili Yue sat down silently, praying in her heart that everything would go well.

It seemed that there were children from a wealthy family sitting in the gorgeous carriage opposite, but Baili Yue had no intention of caring about that at the moment.

In a carriage, a young man in a blue silk robe was furious and yelled at the driver outside: "What the hell are you doing? You almost killed me!"

"Master, please forgive me. This is all my fault..." The driver quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the people in the car to admit his mistake.

The man leaned against the soft carriage and snorted in dissatisfaction: "What are you still standing there for? Go back home! You've ruined my good mood today. I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

"Master..." The driver cursed inwardly, trembling with fear, and worried that if the master was injured, he would be in trouble. He hurriedly stood up and prepared to continue on his way.

The man in the blue robe inadvertently lifted a corner of the car curtain and took a casual glance, but unexpectedly found a woman sitting on the roadside. She was wearing a veil, and her looming beauty was as charming as the stars in the night sky. Even wearing simple clothes, it was difficult to hide her noble temperament.

The man's eyes were immediately attracted. "What a beautiful lady!" he thought, wondering if the accident happened because he hit her carriage.

His eyes were fixed on the woman, and he was eager to see what she really looked like under the veil. Suddenly, he ordered, "Stop!"

The driver hurriedly pulled the reins and asked softly, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Wait!" After saying that, the man in blue robe jumped off the carriage and walked towards the woman. He wanted to find out which family she was from. If she was outstanding in appearance, he would like to take her into his backyard.

"Master!" the driver shouted from behind, but the man ignored him and walked straight forward.

Baili Yue felt someone approaching, and he just glanced at them and then looked away.

As the man got closer, he felt that this woman was extraordinary. Her skin was as white as jade, and her exposed fingers were slender and elegant. A breeze blew by, gently lifting a corner of her veil, revealing her delicate chin. The effect of the powder on her face gradually faded, the pimples disappeared, and her original beauty was restored.

The man's eyes lit up and his heart beat faster. "What a beauty!" He quickened his pace and walked forward, asking politely, "Excuse me, who are you from?"

Baili Yue didn't expect that he would walk up to her and ask such an impolite question. She frowned slightly and did not respond.

The man was even more interested in this, he liked girls with personality. "Girl, it's my fault... Where do you live? I'd like to give you a ride." He said with a smile, as if everything was under his control.

The men on the street seemed to have improper intentions towards any unengaged woman, and they were not even afraid of women who were already engaged.
