The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 14

With a single sentence from Xie Qiao, the many questions in Zhao Xuanjing's mind were stuck in his throat.

By accident?

He even counted the time to the exact hour, and now he was telling her that it was just a coincidence?

However, when he thought back to what happened yesterday, he would send her to court. So it made sense that he didn't care to be bothered with her today.

“Nona Xie, can you help me check if there will be any other dangers or obstacles along my journey?” Zhao Xuanjing looked up and down Xie Qiao's face. For some reason, his tone was much softer.

Xie Qiao rolled his eyes in his mind.

He would not only face danger on this journey alone. There was no way this person could live peacefully. He had never seen anyone who attracted spirits and ghosts as much as he did. The amount of black smoke coming out of his body was enough to reach the sky!

He had to keep his distance from people like this…

“You will.. face danger. Be careful. If we have to do divination for every little thing, then all the soothsayers will die from exhaustion..In addition, the secrets of Heaven should not be leaked.” Xie Qiao said listlessly.

Smacked.

A silver bar was placed on a small table in the carriage.

Judging from the size, the price should be 10 taels.

The danger is near. Xie Qiao took the silver and stored it in his bamboo basket.

Zhao Xuanjing's brows lifted. Almost holding back his laughter, he asked, “That's it?”

Xie Qiao remained silent.

Zhao Xuanjing smiled. He was a bit amused, so he deliberately took out a silver banknote worth 50 taels of silver and put it on the table. “How many of your suggestions can this buy?”

Beware of swords and sparks. Xie Qiao continued to pocket the money, then he took out a yellow talisman and a small copper mirror from his bamboo basket. “It's a blessed safety talisman and mirror to keep you safe. All you have to do is keep it on your side at all times. This is just for this trip, they will not work for others.” Zhao Xuanjing took the two items over to inspect them.

The safety talisman was folded into a small triangle. It had a faint incense aroma, somewhat similar to the scent on this girl.

This copper mirror is the size of a palm, the right size to carry everywhere.

There is no way to know if the money is worth it. But since he had already bought it, he would use it at some point.

On Xie Qiao's face, Zhao Xuanjing slipped these items into his arms.

“You have a good personality, Miss Xie,” Zhao Xuanjing said with a laugh.

Smooth, nagging, and a bit like a bandit.

The reason he said he was like a bandit was not because of his appearance, but the air he felt from him. He's like a wild cat. He looked extremely pitiful and weak at first glance, but his claws were much sharper than those of a house cat.

“You really like to joke, Sir.” Xie Qiao's voice was soft as he finally raised his chin. His eyes narrowed slightly as he leaned against the skeleton of the carriage and took out a feather fan to fan himself.

His face was no longer flushed, and he was not panting either. Her sickly appearance had disappeared now.

Zhao Xuanjing glanced at him. He noticed that there was a small bell swaying on that half-eternal wrist. It was actually made of real gold.

It might not look too heavy, but he didn't look too sad about it.

When he saw his fair wrist move, he also felt tempted.

He looked to the side.

They would reach the Floating Pavilion City.

The group was clearly planning to rest in the city.

They originally wanted to send him to the inn, but Xie Qiao remembered that Madam Lu's mother and daughter couple were very strict with the rules. They would not be happy to see all these burly men accompanying him, so he descended at the city gate.

“Quickly, ask Miss Xie about tips, not ?!” The Zhou Imperial Guards quickly pushed Qin Zhi.

Qin Zhi was like a log, dumbstruck on the spot. Every difficult step. “She's a woman ... She will definitely talk nonsense.”

The Zhou Imperial Guards rolled their eyes. “If he really talks nonsense, will the young master invite him for a walk? Will I really tell you all of this throughout this entire trip? Your self-esteem is important, but your life is even more important. After all, this woman just saved our lives. What's so embarrassing about running to ask some quick questions?”

This guy is just shy!
