Danyang followed Han Qinglan's footsteps and quickly shuttled through the dark narrow alleys.
But even though most of her mind was focused on thinking about the next business, she soon discovered that the direction she was going in was not quite right?
As soon as she thought of this, Danyang stood still and stared at someone who stopped in front of her almost at the same time as her.
"Where are we going?"
Han Qinglan turned around slowly amid the questioning, and when she finished speaking, she happened to meet Princess Danyang's eyes directly.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile:
"Where else can we go?"
The moment Princess Danyang tightened her lips, he smiled again, stopped his careless attitude, folded his arms and shrugged:
"Of course, according to your instructions, I am preparing to go to the place where the Huaiyang King's envoy who has been paying tribute recently is staying."
Upon hearing this, Danyang's brows instantly furrowed even more tightly, he looked around with his peripheral vision and sneered:
"Oh, you mean the envoy of King Huaiyang will live in the east of the city?"
Although the east of the capital is equally lively, it is by no means a prosperous place. The restaurants and inns where people can stay can only attract ordinary people with small and wealthy families, let alone the envoys who come to Beijing on behalf of the prince.
She was really underestimated! Even if she were still the fifteen-year-old girl before, she, Danyang, would never believe such nonsense.
Han Qinglan raised her eyebrows in surprise, pointed back in the direction of the two of them, and admitted readily:
"I didn't expect that the princess is so familiar with Dongcheng that she can still see where we are going in such a narrow alley."
The tone, which was half emotional, half joking and overly exaggerated, instantly made the little girl's complexion darker.
But unexpectedly, Princess Danyang's expression became normal as soon as she took a breath, and she said calmly:
"Although this alley makes people dizzy, I still have eyes and am not stupid. Which of the alleys around Chang'an Street has such a dense number of back doors?"
As he spoke, he pointedly raised his head and looked at the mottled wall beside him. There were various wooden doors of different sizes and distances lined up in a row.
Han Qinglan blinked, held her chin with interest, followed Danyang's gaze and glanced at both sides of Youshen's narrow alley, and sighed loudly:
"I didn't expect that Princess, you are not only bold, but also very careful."
When he said this, he suddenly remembered the first time he "met" this girl.
Her Royal Highness the princess dared to climb trees and walls by herself, enter the Dongcheng Theater alone, and even escaped unscathed after successfully "stealing sheep". Such a talent would indeed not feel unsure about following him around, let alone fear.
Thinking of this, Han Qinglan shook her head with a self-deprecating smile, and sighed from the bottom of her heart:
"To put it this way, I am really blind and underestimated you, Princess. However, it is a mistake, so I can tell you my itinerary for a while with peace of mind."
The first half of the sentence hit Danyang's fancy, but the moment she heard the second half, she immediately became wary.
"What?"
When Han Qinglan saw this, she could only raise her hand in a funny manner, waved her index finger lightly, and said slowly:
"Don't worry, Princess. Although it is necessary to complete your plan, it is just a small means, and with the ability of the Princess, it will not be a problem."
After finishing his words, he smiled lightly and said without waiting for Princess Danyang to speak:
"So, please come with me to the ruined temple in the east of the city."
…
On the other hand, after Zizhu and his party parted ways with Princess Danyang, they quickly crossed the street and drove into a narrower alley.
"It's right here. Get off the car. You can't get off the carriage on this road. We need to walk for a while to get there."
Zizhu was still focused on Princess Danyang, and had no intention of talking to Tian Zhuo, let alone seeing where he was going for a while.
However, after Mei Lan looked around curiously for a while, she asked Tian Zhuo in disbelief, who had caught up with him after tying up the carriage.
"That there is nothing in the sky or on the earth you are talking about? Oh, by the way, is it the only delicacy in the capital, in such an inconspicuous alley?"
Fortunately, she was worried about her sister's money. She thought that Zizhu had lost the bet and wanted to treat Tian Zhuo to a good meal and how he would cut his flesh. Unexpectedly, the other party was actually quite interesting and not sincere about killing people.
In fact, Mei Lan originally didn't hate Tian Zhuo as much as Zizhu. Now, after adding this layer of goodwill, the intimacy in her words became much more obvious.
Beneath her pleasant appearance, the lively girlish aura could not help but overflow, and Tian Zhuo even thought that the breath of summer had already hit his face.
In such an atmosphere, even slightly dismissive remarks can be ignored because they are not malicious, leaving only naivety and cuteness.
The young man who rarely had the opportunity to talk to women immediately felt uncomfortable, and most of his straight face turned red involuntarily.
"Ahem, no... let's go in quickly. We're late, and there might not be anywhere to sit."
Trying his best to suppress his confusion, Tian Zhuo quickly turned around and led the way for the two of them before he could finish his words.
Mei Lan didn't realize that there was something wrong and just took it as Fang Pibo. She joked with Tian Zhuo in a low voice to the absent-minded Zizhu, and pulled her wooden companion to follow the young boy quickly into the dark alley.
…
In the end, Danyang was not able to ask why Han Qinglan arranged this. But in order not to delay the plan and find out the mastermind as soon as possible, she could only voluntarily be led by the other party for the time being.
It's a shame that in order to lure the snake out of its hole, she recently prepared a lot of hairdressing ceremony in the palace, so that every step she took attracted countless gazes. Otherwise, she could go to Zongzheng Temple by herself to ensure that the investigation would be complete and quick. Why are you so constrained by others? !
But it's hard to buy a cure for everything, and judging from the current situation, maybe her efforts were not in vain.
Of course, Danyang wanted to prevent the other party from completely taking over the dominant position during the spying operation. While forcing himself to the point of swallowing his anger, he also gave Han Qinglan a "dismissal".
Right now, it seems like the effect is pretty good?
With countless thoughts running through his mind, and trying to calm down all the unhappiness and anger in his heart, Danyang trotted and struggled to keep up with Han Qinglan's vigorous pace.
But in the blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at the first stop of their trip - the ruined temple in Dongcheng.
Standing at the mountain gate, Danyang looked up at the three golden characters "Dongjie Temple" on the archway and couldn't help but feel in a trance.
Immediately afterwards, she turned around and kicked Han Qinglan while shouting.
"Say, what do you mean?"
The first bad relationship between the two began here, in the Lixiang Garden next door.
According to her analysis during her spare time, the bastard must have been curious about her climbing over the wall after seeing her climb over the wall, so he followed her all the way and accidentally exposed her secret that no one should have known about. Act in secret.
So why did he bring himself here today without saying a word?
