Shang Yiqing realized that even though she had made up a pretense, it was completely ineffective. Xiao Tianyuan actually believed her words, and even helped her repay her debts, as well as brought her to see her father. She was a little regretful. Why did she have to make up such a flustered story? She couldn't take it back right now.

Xiao Tianyuan brought his horse over: "Come, I'll send you back."

Shang Yiqing unhappily sighed: "I don't want to go back, and I also don't want to see my father. I want to leave this place."

"Miss Shang, what you're doing is wrong. What will your father do if you leave? How can you explain it to others? " Xiao Tianyuan tried his best to console Shang Yiqing.

Shang Yiqing was dumbstruck. She had not even thought of what to say, but Xiao Tianyuan had already started to urge her to get on the horse. She could only bite the bullet and get on the horse first. As long as they entered the city, they would be hit by people from the Prince Rong's Mansion. However, they couldn't say that they were going back now, so why couldn't they find a better reason?

Xiao Tianyuan was leading the way in front, and seeing Shang Yiqing slowly following behind, he could not help but laugh at her: "It's okay, I will definitely take out the silver."

"This is not a matter of silver!" Shang Yiqing sighed, and looked up at the sky helplessly. She silently followed behind Xiao Tianyuan. To be honest, if not for the lie from before, she really wanted to turn her horse and leave this place.

"Hurry up and go, we can return to the city soon." Hurry and go, we can return to the city soon. Xiao Tianyuan didn't even know what Shang Yiqing was thinking, and only thought that she was afraid, and couldn't stop comforting her.

As she got closer and closer to the city, her emotions became more and more complicated. What should she do now?

From afar, seeing a large group of people rushing over from the city gate's direction, Shang Yiqing subconsciously reined his horse in, and lowered his head.

The group of people rushed over, and actually went straight to Xiao Tianyuan's side. The person in the lead was only wearing casual clothes, but when he saw Xiao Tianyuan, he cupped his fists and said: "General, how have you been?"

Shang Yiqing couldn't help but steal a glance at him, and felt that he seemed to have seen this person before. He was shocked, and lowered his head even more. At the same time, she thought weirdly that this Xiao Tianyuan was actually a general, but she didn't even know that.

"You guys left the city early in the morning. Did something happen?" Xiao Tianyuan asked.

"General, our princess has not returned since she left yesterday. Our prince is burning with impatience, so he sent us to investigate."

It's over! He must be someone from the Prince Rong's Mansion, no wonder he looked so familiar. So it really was them. They really came to look for him, what should they do? Shang Yiqing really wanted to turn around and escape, but under the current situation, if she ran, wouldn't she be exposed? Listen to what Xiao Tianyuan has to say.

After Xiao Tianyuan heard the man's words, he revealed a shocked expression, "How can this be? Do you want me to help you guys find it? "

"Thank you, General. When the general returned from the outside, did he see the person in the painting? " As the man said that, he took out a portrait from his bosom and spread it in front of Xiao Tianyuan.

Xiao Tianyuan took it and looked, and with just a glance, he seemed to have entered a meditative state, and froze in place.

This time, he was completely done for, Shang Yiqing thought sorrowfully, because behind Xiao Tianyuan, with just a glance, she was able to see that the portrait depicted her own appearance.

The man in the lead could not help but ask, "Has the general seen my wangfei before?"

Xiao Tianyuan lifted his head and glanced at the person before pausing for a moment. Then, he said, "Look, isn't the woman behind me your wangfei?" He never thought that the Shang Yiqing he had met twice in a row would actually be the Prince Rong's Wife, and even more so, that she would actually deceive himself, and that she would actually run away from home.

When the group of people heard this, they looked towards Shang Yiqing's face. Once they saw him clearly, they would suddenly dismount.

The large group behind also dismounted their horses and bowed. "This lowly one pays their respects to esteemed wangfei."

This time, even if he wanted to dodge, he really wouldn't be able to. Shang Yiqing braced himself and said: "All of you get up."

Only then did Xiao Tianyuan turn back, his eyes full of reproach, as if asking: You are Prince Rong's Wife? Why did you lie to me?

Shang Yiqing smiled apologetically; she had no way to explain it to him clearly.

However, the person from the Prince Rong's Mansion said, "Please return, Princess Wang Fei."

Xiao Tianyuan seemed to be stunned, as he silently watched Shang Yiqing follow the people from the Prince Rong's Mansion back. Until they walked far, far away, as if he had just woken up from a dream. This Miss Shang is actually Prince Rong's Wife, hasn't Prince Rong just gotten married? Why did his princess leave home? This was too strange! What was bad was that he was in the same room as her last night, how could he explain this to Prince Rong?

He suddenly saw something shining in the grass. He bent down and picked it up, and it turned out to be a pearl earring, which seemed to belong to Miss Shang. Xiao Tianyuan patted his horse and followed along without thinking.

"Wait a minute!"

Hearing the shouts from behind, Shang Yiqing could not help but turn around. Seeing that Xiao Tianyuan was rushing forward, she could not help but ask, "What happened?"

He reached out to her, and just as he was about to return the pearl earring to her, he thought that with so many people looking at him giving her the earring, it looked a little abnormal. Furthermore, they had gotten along with each other last night, so it would not be good if they misunderstood. Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and pulled back. Instead of laughing, he said, "It's nothing. Why don't I send you back to the city?"

Before Shang Yiqing could say anything, the guard by the side reported with a smile, "Thank you for your kind intentions, General. Since we have found the wangfei, there's no need for you to trouble yourself.

Xiao Tianyuan laughed bitterly: "Since that's the case, I won't bother you all anymore. Princess, please leave."

Shang Yiqing glanced at him and suddenly felt very embarrassed. She had clearly lied to him, but he hadn't exposed her and he had even saved her before. She could only bite her lower lip and rush to the city with the guards. If it wasn't for Xiao Tianyuan, she definitely wouldn't have followed this group of people back to the manor. It was as if she had to pay extra attention to her own image in front of him. He could only grumble in his heart as he followed the group of guards back to the manor.
