Mo Rongyi did not immediately return to the palace. He planned to go to the Foreign Guest Pavilion to find Zhao Ning. When he passed the main street, Qing Que Road, there were simply too many people. He could only hand the horse over to the servant behind him. The Capital's Foreign Guest Pavilion and the yamen were on the other side of Qing Que Road. He should have taken a shortcut, but now it was too troublesome to go back.
"Robber! Someone is robbing!"
As he was walking, he suddenly heard the shout of an old man. Mo Rongyi looked up and saw a person running quickly in the crowd. His hands were holding a few pouches. He frowned. Under the Emperor's rule, there was actually a thief who dared to rob in broad daylight?
Without waiting for Mo Rongyi to make a move, there were already a few men on the street who wanted to stop the thief. They did not expect that the thief's martial arts were so good that they were no match for him. The soldiers who were drinking tea in the nearby teahouse heard the commotion and rushed over. The already crowded street became even more lively.
Mo Rongyi felt that he did not need to make a move. The thief would definitely be caught.
However, not long after the soldiers appeared, the thief's accomplices appeared. The two of them joined hands to fight with the soldiers.
Mo Rongyi frowned as he looked at the two thieves. He felt that something was wrong.
The commoners who were watching the commotion also felt that it was not safe here. In a short while, they began to leave. Mo Rongyi saw that there was a horse carriage that was being squeezed to the point that it could not move. It looked like it was about to tilt to the side. The servant at the side shouted loudly, but no one paid any attention to him.
Oh no! If he did not support the horse carriage, the people inside would definitely be in danger.
Mo Rongyi hurriedly jumped up and used the momentum to rush to the side of the horse carriage. He shouted at the people who were squeezing the horse carriage, "Everyone get out of the way!"
At this time, no one could hear him.
"Come out!" Mo Rongyi jumped onto the shaft of the horse carriage and directly pulled the people inside out. The moment they left the carriage, the horse carriage fell to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Mo Rongyi turned around to look at the person he had rescued. He discovered that it was a woman.
The woman that Mo Rongyi had rescued was none other than the Princess of the State of Qi, Zhao Xin. She looked at Mo Rongyi in shock, "I … … I'm fine."
Mo Rongyi lightly nodded his head, "That's good."
When Zhao Xin looked up again, Mo Rongyi was nowhere to be seen.
The two thieves were finally caught, and the soldiers who had come to capture them were also injured. Quite a number of commoners who had just come to watch the spectacle were caught in the crossfire. Mo Rongyi went up to ask and found out that these two people were famous thieves. Recently, they had been chased closely by the government and did not dare to steal from wealthy families anymore. They could only live as petty thieves. Today, they had finally been caught. In the future, Jingdou would finally be much more peaceful.
The Green Sparrow Path quickly restored its previous order. Mo Rongyi also followed the crowd and walked towards another street. The Green Sparrow Path was the main street, and in the middle, there were several streets that branched out. Every street was filled with people.
They had to walk through this street to reach the foreign guest pavilion.
Mo Rongyi was thinking about what to say when he saw Zhao Ning, when he saw a familiar figure in a shop on the side of the street. He looked carefully, it really was Zhao Ning.
"Miss Zhao." Mo Rongyi called out happily, but he was standing a bit far away, so Zhao Ning did not hear his voice. She was in the boutique choosing something.
Mo Rongyi got off his horse and walked directly towards the Guang Hua Restaurant. He stopped behind Zhao Ning, "Miss Zhao, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Ning heard someone call her and turned her head in surprise. She saw that the person looking for her was actually Mo Rongyi. Her pretty face immediately darkened, "Why are you here? Don't tell me you want to steal something from me again? "
"No …" Mo Rongyi shook his head awkwardly. He looked down and saw that the thing in Zhao Ning's hand looked like a girl's undergarment. His face turned red, "I don't want this, don't misunderstand."
Zhao Ning then realized what she was holding in her hand. She hurriedly put the undergarment back, "This is a red undergarment that I plan to buy for the Lady's future child. Don't think too much about it."
Mo Rongyi's handsome face was still red, "I didn't think too much …"
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Ning asked in a bad mood.
"I originally wanted to go to the foreign guest pavilion to find you, but I saw you here, so I came over." Mo Rongyi said.
Zhao Ning walked out of Guang Hua Restaurant. Every time she bumped into Mo Rongyi, nothing good would come out of it. She just wanted to avoid him, "Why are you looking for me?"
Mo Rongyi followed behind her, "I still haven't apologized for the jade pendant incident. I didn't do it on purpose, so don't take it to heart."
"I didn't take it to heart." Zhao Ning said expressionlessly, "Stay away from me. Every time I bump into you, nothing good will come out of it."
"How could that be? Our previous two meetings were all misunderstandings." Mo Rongyi said with a smile, "Miss Zhao, I heard that you are leaving the capital tomorrow?"
Zhao Ning suddenly stopped. She saw Zhao Xin standing not too far in front of her. She frowned in disgust. Why was it that she kept bumping into people she didn't want to see today?
"What's wrong?" Mo Rongyi walked to her side and asked.
How could this person be so annoying!
Ever since Zhao Xin told her that she had returned to the country of Qi to be betrothed to some Marquis of Anning, she had been feeling uneasy. She even asked Zi Juan to secretly go to the foreign guest pavilion and ask around. There was indeed a Marquis of Anning in the country of Qi, and he was the uncle of the Grand Princess. He was a brave and skilled general, but it was said that he had a hard life. He had already lost three fiancées, and everyone in the capital knew that this Marquis of Anning was a wife-cursing man. Marquis of Anning had already decided not to marry, and had been guarding the borders for many years. However, he was the only son of the ninth generation, and it was said that the Emperor's father-in-law even went to the palace to ask the Emperor to betroth Marquis of Anning.
The Emperor had people calculate Marquis of Anning's horoscope, and it was said that because he had killed too many people on the battlefield, his life was too hard, and he could only marry a woman of noble birth in order to suppress it. Some people even said that he could only marry a princess.
Originally, the Emperor had already planned to betroth Marquis, but coincidentally, the Jin Kingdom sent the news, and this matter was delayed.
Zhao Ning thought, if she did not appear at this time to become the Princess of Qi, then who would marry Marquis of Anning be? The Third Princess Zhao Lan and Zhao Xin were actually less than half a year apart, but she was the younger sister of the First Prince, so she would definitely be able to avoid the betrothal. The last possibility was Zhao Xin.
No wonder Zhao Xin insisted on coming to the Jin Kingdom … she was afraid that she would be cursed to death if she married Marquis of Anning!
She did not want to be used to marry Marquis of Anning. He was already thirty years old, and there was still a gap in seniority. These two days, Zhao Ning had been worrying about how to avoid this betrothal, because she realized that Zhao Xin was right. The one with the least foundation was her, and she was the most likely to marry Marquis of Anning.
