Sicang and Yun Zishu rushed towards the south of the city and stopped outside a house twenty miles away from the post house.
Sicang jumped off the horse with Yun Zishu in his arms.
"We'll stay here tonight and get up early tomorrow morning to go on our way." Sicang took Yun Zishu's hand and walked up to knock on the door.
Soon a man who looked like a warrior opened the door and bowed slightly when he saw Sicang and Yun Zishu.
Yun Zishu didn't say a word and let Si Cang hold her hand and walk into the other courtyard together. Thinking of the man's attitude just now, she asked casually: "Is this house your property?"
Since Sicang has already made plans in Dongyou, it is enough to prove his strength, and it is not impossible to set up some industries in Dayong territory.
Sicang shook his head slightly: "It belongs to His Highness."
"Huh?" Yun Zishu turned to look at him in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"The land deeds and house deeds are all in His Highness's name."
Yun Zishu frowned slightly: "Why?"
Si Cang's eyes were slightly dark, and it was dark and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but his voice was gentler than ever: "I'll tell His Highness later."
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment and hummed softly.
Sicang took Yun Zishu into the inner courtyard and saw that the inner courtyard was brightly lit.
Eight maids stood in two rows and saluted respectfully.
After entering the door, I saw that the bedroom was extremely elegant and luxurious, and the layout was almost as good as the bedroom in her princess mansion.
"Sicang." Yun Zishu's voice was calm, "It seems that your financial resources cannot be underestimated."
Si Cang held her hand and couldn't help but tighten it: "Your Highness will know, this humble position——"
"Starting 'humble duty' again?" Yun Zishu tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Am I considered your bride now?"
Si Cang's eyebrows softened, and his eyes were a little more throbbing: "Forget it."
Although the wedding ceremony has not yet been held, Sicang has already thought about the scene of holding a wedding with her countless times since Yun Zishu said that they were in love. He even thought about getting married, or maybe marrying her into the family.
He only serves as her husband's servant with no future.
As long as that person is her, he can do anything.
Yun Zishu turned her head and looked at the bedroom, "We won't live here forever, why do you make it so easy?"
"This is the capital of Yongfu, very close to the imperial city." Sicang explained, "When I come back in the future, I may stay here for a while."
Yun Zishu's eyebrows moved slightly, thinking about the possibility he mentioned, but she didn't refute it for a moment. After all, the situation was changing rapidly. At the moment when she and her father and the entire royal family were really at odds, no one knew what would happen.
"Your Highness, please rest first. We will get up early tomorrow morning." Sicang said warmly, "When we leave the auxiliary capital and catch up on the day's journey, we can rest at any time in the future."
Yun Zishu nodded, turned around and walked into the inner room.
Sicang followed her in and took off her green robe: "Your Highness is not worried about a man and a woman alone, and your humble position abducting His Highness?"
Trafficking?
Yun Zishu turned her head and glanced at him, with an obvious joking expression on her face: "Who are you going to sell me to?"
Si Cang pursed his lips and smiled: "Sell it to Prince Dongyou."
"What benefits can you get from selling me to him?"
Si Cang thought for a while: "Prince Dongyou is the crown prince of a country after all, and he can promise many things, including glory, wealth, official power, wine and beauties..."
Holding his face with one hand, Yun Zishu said in a faint voice: "Is this the legendary selling one's wife for glory?"
Si Cang grabbed her hand, put it to his lips and kissed it: "No. Your Highness is a priceless treasure that cannot be exchanged for ten thousand dollars."
Yun Zishu's fingertips were numb from his kiss. She couldn't help but think that it was true that a man and a woman alone didn't feel safe. The atmosphere was not right at the moment. Sicang was no longer as submissive and cute as before, and his whole body showed a trace of
This overbearing and bewitching aura can't help but make people's hearts beat faster.
Yun Zishu raised her eyes slightly and looked at his cold and charming face. Under the light, this man's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, which made people feel that he was incomparably noble and handsome, and his magnanimity was far better than that of the princes and nobles of the Dayong royal family.
Yun Zishu coughed lightly and tried to stay calm: "Don't be presumptuous."
Sicang pursed his lips and smiled softly: "Yes."
"I can't help but wonder if you had some ulterior motive in bringing me out alone?" Yun Zishu walked to the bed and sat down, "Why don't you bring me here for real?"
Si Cang laughed sullenly, his laughter was low and sweet: "The humble position indeed has ulterior motives. His Highness has just realized it now. Isn't it too late?"
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows.
"A dragnet has been set outside, and His Highness cannot escape even if he wants to." Sicang lowered his eyes, his eyes dark and full of emotion, "Will Your Highness obey me?"
Yun Zishu said calmly: "I will never obey until I die."
Si Cang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, sat on the edge of the bed, and took her hand: "I am very happy to be humble."
I had never thought that the two of them could have such a relaxing and warm moment. Putting aside all the shackles of identity, there were just the two of them, and even simple chatter and jokes made people feel precious.
"Why are you happy?" Yun Zishu's voice was leisurely, "You are happy that you can imprison me?"
"Yes." Si Cang nodded, "I am even more happy that your Highness only belongs to me at this time."
Yun Zishu smiled and leaned on the bedside to look at him: "If Prince Dongyou knew that we were behaving like this, he would definitely scold me for not knowing——"
"Your Highness." Sicang frowned and raised his hand to stop her, "No one dares to scold Your Highness, not even Prince Dongyou."
Yun Zishu said calmly: "What if he scolds me?"
"The humble job will kill him."
Yun Zishu couldn't help laughing. Is it okay to kill herself? However, after laughing, she suddenly realized that she hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. Even these childish conversations made people feel sweet and warm.
Seeing that she was happy, Sicang was also happy: "Your Highness, go to bed early?"
Yun Zishu nodded: "Yes."
The two of them relaxed completely that night. When Yun Zishu was lying on the bed, she was still thinking that most of the time in life, people can't help themselves, and there are very few things that they can really do according to their own wishes.
Relaxing tonight and the next month belong to her and Sicang. When they arrive in Dongyou, they will have to face some situations they have to face and people they don't want to face... Tsk,
Life is about facing things you don't like all the time.
So the good times are especially cherished.
Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, Sicang and Yun Zishu got up, washed and changed clothes, bought some breakfast, and then rode out of the city after the city gate opened.
The horses ran onto the deserted wide road. It was warm and cold in February. The morning breeze blew on the face with obvious coolness. Sicang wrapped a thick cloak around Yun Zishu, "Is it cold?"
"It's not cold." Yun Zishu closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the feeling of riding in the wind, "People who practice martial arts have strong bodies, so what does this little bit of coldness mean?"
