There was no one else in the private room except for one person, and that was its owner.
The owner of the private room was, of course, Ji Zhiyuan.
The moment Yan Li saw her, he suddenly felt that twenty pieces of Shadowless Starlight Silk might be enough to sell his life.
He said warily, "What do you want?"
What made him feel even more strange was Ji Zhiyuan's attire today.
Today, she wore a greyish-white coarse long gown made of ordinary coarse cloth, and loose linen trousers, which covered her straight and slender legs, making them look loose. She wore a pair of black cloth shoes, and her fine black hair was tied up on top of her head, which was tied into a cross crown with a scarf.
It was unknown what she did to her beautiful face, but half of its color was covered, and her skin looked a little rough, but it was still delicate and refined.
With such attire, she was the living embodiment of a poor student who was not successful.
"How do I look?" She smiled like a flower, turned around in front of Yan Li, took off her palace attire, and seemed to have shed her majesty, showing her lively and lovely side.
"You can't hide it from someone who wants to." Yan Li said calmly, "If you want to secretly go to Yuan Zhou, there are many ways, but I didn't expect you to choose the stupidest one."
"You know that's not what I'm asking," Ji Zhiyuan said.
"It's nothing." Yan Li shrugged.
Ji Zhiyuan's thin, soft eyebrows furrowed, and then relaxed. "I only rewarded you with twenty pieces of Shadowless Starlight Silk, can't you say something nice to coax me?"
Yan Li stared at her vigilantly. "I have a feeling that I've been sold by you."
"How could that be?" Ji Zhiyuan smiled sweetly.
Even though she had disguised her face, her smile was still soul-stirring, like a shocking treasure, making people unable to stop the desire to possess it.
Every time Yan Li fell into the enemy's hands, there was always another voice that pulled him out, and that voice could always make his heart as cold as iron.
"Since I've already agreed, there's no reason for me to go back on my word." He rolled his eyes. "But you should at least tell me what you're up to."
"When you walk out of this door, I will be your servant," Ji Zhiyuan said.
"Attendant?" Yan Li's eyes lit up, revealing a malicious glint.
The corners of Ji Zhiyuan's mouth curled up slightly as he said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "That's how it looks on the surface, but you have to listen to my orders in secret. I'll say this first. You can look down on the Emperor's authority, but you've seen my strength. If something unpleasant happens, you'll have to bear the consequences. "
"Yes, yes." Yan Li said lazily, "But with your appearance, let alone Yuan Province, you won't even be able to leave Yongling."
"Then what about this?" Ji Zhiyuan's clear, flawless, crystal-like eyes were suddenly dyed with a few shades of gray. Not only did it take away seventy percent of her spirit, but even the lofty dignity disappeared. Although she looked clean, she was very ordinary.
Coupled with her attire, she looked like a pretty girl from a humble family disguised as a man.
Yan Li examined her for a while and said with an evil smile, "Congratulations, now even if you find an ordinary man like me to marry, have a nest of children, and live an ordinary life, no one will suspect that you're His Majesty the Emperor."
"Who's going to have children with you? Have them yourself!" Ji Zhiyuan's pretty face blushed slightly, and she said unhappily, "How can someone as ostentatious as you have a good life? In less than two days, you'll be on the run."
"Your words are so hurtful. I'm just trying to let you live a good life."
"Stop, you. I know too well what kind of person you are."
"Ah, life is already so difficult. Some things shouldn't be exposed."
…
Under the shade of a forest, two people stared at each other next to a carriage.
"You're a servant. Isn't it natural for you to drive the carriage?" Yan Li said seriously, "This is to better hide your identity. Think about it, is there anyone in this world who lets a master drive a carriage?"
"Didn't I say that it's just the surface?" Ji Zhiyuan said unhappily.
"Yes, it's the surface!" Yan Li put on a wronged look as if he was thinking for her sake, "In terms of our identities, it seems that you're driving the carriage, but in fact, it's me who's driving the carriage. It's just for show …"
"You want me to drive the carriage?"
"Shh!" Yan Li lowered his voice, "Do you want to tell the people on the street that His Majesty is here?"
"Anyway, I can't drive the carriage!" Ji Zhiyuan turned her face away, with a look of "do as you see fit".
"How about this …" Yan Li looked very distressed, "Let's drive together. It'll be better this way …"
He bought a high-end carriage with a wide shaft, which was enough to sit two people.
In fact, this was already within his calculations.
After that, he sat on the shaft and patted the seat next to him, "Come on, come up and feel the life of ordinary people."
Ji Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, with a warning look in her eyes, "Don't play any tricks."
"Of course not." Yan Li smiled, like a fox who was about to eat a chicken.
Ji Zhiyuan finally sat on it. Before she felt it, Yan Li pulled the reins and the carriage started slowly.
"You haven't told me what to do." She frowned.
Although the shaft of the carriage was wide, the two people sitting on it had to be shoulder to shoulder, which was a very intimate distance.
Ji Zhiyuan didn't resist, which showed that she didn't dislike Yan Li.
A faint fragrance lingered in his nose, and Yan Li couldn't help but feel restless. He looked down at her delicate side profile, and his mood suddenly sank.
"It would be great if you were not you." He murmured.
"What?" The street was noisy. Even if it was close to her ear, Ji Zhiyuan couldn't hear his words. She couldn't help but look up at him, and saw the deep affection that flashed in his eyes. Her heart trembled slightly, and she quickly turned her face away.
After a long silence, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. When she looked ahead, she couldn't help but be shocked, "Look ahead!"
When Yan Li came to his senses, the carriage had crashed into the soy sauce shop on the street.
After a burst of "crackling" sound, a tall woman wearing an apron rushed out of the back room of the shop facing the street. She screamed with a loud voice like a broken gong and drum,
"Who the hell destroyed my soy sauce shop!"
"Apologize quickly …" Ji Zhiyuan quietly pulled Yan Li's clothes.
Yan Li slightly raised the corner of his mouth, whipped the horse and turned around, and galloped away in the woman's shouting.
"Hey, you're too much!" Ji Zhiyuan was angry and funny at the same time. He couldn't help but look back, and saw that the woman actually caught up with them.
"She caught up with us. Stop, pay money, and apologize."
"I did it on purpose, because you were sitting in the carriage."
"What about me?"
"You are so beautiful, and I want to take you to a place where there is no one, and admire you slowly."
"Don't joke, stop quickly!" Ji Zhiyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When he looked back again, the woman ran a little closer, holding a large rolling pin, and kept cursing,
"Shameless couple, dead and alive, all of you will die a horrible death … Stop for me …"
It turned out that she could see that Ji Zhiyuan was a woman disguised as a man at a glance, but if she knew that the person she was chasing was the emperor, she would be so scared.
Ji Zhiyuan felt both ridiculous and novel.
