At four o'clock in the morning, the sky will be dark.

Xiao Xun had already gone downstairs, and a guard put down the footstool and raised the bright yellow car curtain.

Bei Sheng and Lu Zhu happened to see him when they were going downstairs with the package. When Xiao Xun saw Bei Sheng, he took his foot back when he was about to step on the footstool.

Xiao Xun stood by the car and stretched out his hand towards Bei Sheng, "Young ladies, would you like to ride in the same carriage with me?"

Bei Sheng's eyes moved towards the large carriage, and his face changed slightly, as if he didn't realize that it was a carriage, but a prison.

Seeing Bei Sheng standing still, Xiao Xun came over to lead her. Bei Sheng was as stiff as a wooden chicken and followed Xiao Xun.

From the time he got on the footstool and got into the carriage, Xiao Xun never let go of his hand. He had no choice but to let go until the two of them sat opposite each other.

Bei Sheng clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, covered by his long sleeves, and secretly fiddled with the string of beads on his wrist with his fingers, eyes lowered and silent.

Xiao Xun looked her over from head to toe. He didn't know why the woman who used to be bright and clear in the mountains and fields now became timid.

I just feel that she looks bad, is full of worries, and is completely different from the past.

The carriage started and the team set off, leaving the inn and Baoding City. It wasn't until the team got on the official road going south that Bei Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xun.

Bei Sheng's attitude was not enthusiastic, but he asked calmly: "Is Your Highness coming to Baoding just to take me back to Beijing?"

Xiao Xun nodded and said with great sincerity: "You are very important to me. Even Master Lang said that you are a smart woman. Regardless of your personality, talent, knowledge or family background, you are the best candidate for the Crown Princess."

As soon as Mr. Lang said these three words, Bei Sheng's head exploded instantly.

No wonder she was put on the list for selecting the Crown Princess. No wonder her father sent urgent letters one after another urging her to return to Beijing. The biggest pusher behind it turned out to be Lang Zhuo!

With a small crunching sound, the string of beads on Bei Sheng's wrist was torn off. She squeezed it tightly to prevent the beads from falling.

Xiao Xun was unaware and continued: "I know you are a clear-minded woman and don't want to be used and tied up, but I need you!"

"This dirty world also needs a concubine with extraordinary courage. Lord Lang has informed me of your hatred for King Leping and what you have done to him. Lord Youlang highly recommends it. I believe you are not wrong. Therefore, I traveled thousands of miles to invite you to the palace to participate in the selection of the crown princess."

Inferior people are indifferent and ungrateful; middle people are affectionate and righteous; superior people are affectionate but not tired; those who achieve great things must be both kind and ruthless.

His words were spoken from the bottom of his heart. He was not a saint and could not avoid being burdened by friendship. He was also not a villain and could not be unkind and unkind.

Therefore, only by telling the true story of the future and treating Beisheng with deep love and justice can his heart be moved.

However, Beisheng's whole body went limp as if his soul had been shaken, and the beads he had picked off from his sleeves fell with a crash, rolling everywhere in the carriage.

Lang Zhuo! You are the murderous executioner!

She was so confused that she didn't know how to deal with it.

Xiao Xun looked at Bei Sheng with an ugly face in surprise. He was a little flustered for a moment and didn't know what he said wrong.

He bent down to pick up the beads that Bei Sheng had rolled down. After picking up the two beads at his feet, he found that there were too many to pick up. After a pause, he straightened up and looked up at Bei Sheng.

Xiao Xun asked softly: "What's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Bei Sheng felt very tired, even more tired than when she was a child when she helped Madam Luo grind medicinal materials. Her throat moved, but the words could not come out.

After looking at Xiao Xun for a long time, she tried her best to ask: "Your Highness, can I go back to my car?"

She used all her strength to say this sentence, and she couldn't say another word.

Xiao Xun had thousands of words in his belly and wanted to talk to Beisheng on the way back to Beijing. Seeing her weak look, he knew he couldn't force it.

So, he took off the jade bracelet from his waist and knocked on the car wall, shouting: "Stop!"

The carriage slowly stopped. Bei Sheng's steps were so shaky that she couldn't stand up. Xiao Xun helped her and then reluctantly got out of the car. Lu Zhu Yanqing followed the carriage and saw Bei Sheng getting out of the prince's carriage with a pale face. Although he felt something was wrong, he didn't ask any more questions.

He helped Bei Sheng to the back of the team and got into the carriage, which was almost twice the size of the prince's carriage. Lu Zhu also got in after him.

The people on the side of the car were all Beisheng's own people, and the people behind the car were also people from Chang Lin and his guard. Only then did Lu Zhu dare to ask: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did Lu Zhu vaguely understand why the second girl was delaying returning to Beijing.

But Prince Xiao Xun has always been said to be a very kind person. Why are the two girls so afraid of him?

The look on the prince's and two girls' faces was wrong when they saw them yesterday. It had only been half an hour since they boarded the prince's carriage today.

What is the second girl afraid of the prince?

Bei Sheng closed her eyes and didn't answer. Her body was trembling. She couldn't even hear her heartbeat or breathing.

"Second girl, are you cold?"

There was a cool breeze in the early autumn in the north. Lu Zhu took out a cloak from his luggage and put it on Bei Sheng's shoulders, but no matter how thick or warm the clothes were, they couldn't hide the coldness.

After a long while, Bei Sheng opened his eyes and said angrily: "Let Yan Qing report to the Crown Prince, and tell me that I will return to Beijing first, and then enter the palace after recuperation."

Lu Zhu was stunned. It would take more than twenty days to travel from Baoding to the capital as usual. The journey was really long. Wouldn't it be safer to travel with the prince?

But seeing that something was wrong with Beisheng's situation and not knowing what he was thinking, Lu Zhu had no choice but to nod, lift the curtains and give Yan Qing a few instructions.

Yan Qing went to report to Xiao Xun, but Xiao Xun was not surprised. He only separated nearly half of his guards and followed Bei Sheng's team.

With the prince's consent, Beisheng's carriage took a small road and drove quickly to the capital.

On the way out of Beijing, I was dragging my feet, but when I came back, I wanted to fly so fast.

I don’t know if the second girl was knocked around in the carriage. Anyway, the guards riding behind the carriage had blisters on their buttocks. They had never marched so fast when going into battle to kill the enemy.

Chang Lin swore in his heart that if the Duke of Guo sent him to follow the second girl out next time, he would not follow him even if he died.

He has been serving in the Xu family army for eight or nine years, and has never met anyone as unpredictable and changeable as the second girl.

Fortunately, on the 18th, the second girl was safely escorted from Baoding to the capital. Chang Lin led the guards back to Nanda Camp for repairs.

The prince's guards returned directly to the palace.

Bei Sheng huddled in the carriage and did not get off. He only stopped for a moment at the gate of Duke Anguo's Mansion. When all the guards had left, the coachman whipped his horse whip and the carriage went straight onto the long street.

It was getting dark, lamps were lit under the eaves of Lang's house, and the guard had closed the door and bolted it. Just when he said he was going to have dinner, he heard someone knocking on the door knocker.

So he opened the windshield on the door and stuck his head out, only to see a dusty carriage parked in front of the door. The person knocking on the door was Yan Qing from Duke Anguo's Mansion.

Yan Qing asked: "May I ask if Mr. Lang is at home? My girl has something to visit."

There is no one in the Lang family who doesn't recognize Xu Beisheng, even the servants around her are very familiar with her.

However, they had heard about Xu Beisheng's departure from Beijing. They had not seen Xu Beisheng for four months, and they had never heard of it from their own adults.

Suddenly seeing Xu Beisheng appear at the door, he was a little surprised. The guard arrived anyway: "My lord went to Zuixian Tower for business and has not come back yet."

Yan Qing could only clasp his fists: "Thank you very much." (End of Chapter)
