Aji got out of the car and helped the coachman get into the carriage and sit on the shaft. Lu Wan took Qiaoer and got into the carriage without any ceremony.

"Thank you, sir..."

After getting on the carriage, Qiao'er didn't dare to go in and sat at the corner of the door. Lu Wan looked at the man who was sitting upright and saw that he was not looking away. After thanking him, he sat down beside him generously.

The two of them were close to each other. Looking at his clean appearance, Lu Wan looked down at her dirty appearance and patted the dust on her body. Qiaoer quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the dust on her face. .

Su Cheng looked at her coldly: "Ms. Lu didn't wait for me here on purpose, did she?"

Lu Wan didn't expect him to ask so directly. Although what he said was true, Lu Wan naturally wouldn't admit it.

Almost without thinking, she smiled cheerfully: "Young Master misunderstood, I was invited by a friend to go to Yucheng. The carriage happened to be in an accident, so I happened to meet you. He is kind-hearted and willing to give me a ride. I am grateful in my heart." Endless."

Su Cheng's expression was stagnant, as if someone had caught a glimpse of his little thoughts, and he regretted not thinking carefully before asking the question suddenly, but it seemed that he was being abrupt.

He shouldn't have let this woman get in the car just now. She always got in the car easily, so he should have left her in the wilderness so that she could give up her attachment.

Su Cheng glanced at her: "Oh? I wonder who Miss Lu's friend is? I also have business in Yucheng, maybe I know him?"

Lu Wan had no intention of hiding it from him. Although she didn't know what he was going to do in Yucheng, she knew that he must have obtained orders from the East Palace. Yucheng was the fiefdom of the second prince, and Su Cheng was the brother of the crown prince. When the time came, he was asked to go to Yucheng. This matter must have something to do with the second prince, and she and the second prince were good friends. If she told the purpose of her trip, Su Cheng would definitely not refuse her companionship. Her relationship with Su Cheng Another step forward, at least he will no longer reject himself along the way.

Lu Wan pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I'm going to meet my close friend. Her name is Mo Yan'er, and she is the princess of His Royal Highness Prince Xu. We kept communicating with her when she went to Yucheng, but recently we suddenly lost contact. I have I haven’t received a reply from her for a long time, so I was a little worried and wanted to see her. I originally wanted to go after the New Year, but I was really worried about her, so I left early.”

Su Cheng was startled. His itinerary was decided on the spur of the moment. Not only did this woman know his destination, but she also seemed to understand his purpose. She actually knew Princess Xu. If she could use her, could she? Get news from Prince Xu’s Mansion faster. After all, when she goes to see Princess Xu, she can go directly into Prince Xu's palace.

She revealed her relationship with Princess Xu in this way, clearly telling herself that she could help him during his trip.

He underestimated her.

He calmed down his thoughts, glanced at Lu Wan lightly and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Lu would have a close friend like Princess Xu. I wonder when Princess Xu lost contact with you?"

Lu Wan recalled carefully: "It seems like two months ago, she wrote in a letter that she felt that the prince seemed to have changed, but she couldn't describe the feeling. I wrote her a reply, but then I didn't receive a reply. ”

After she said this, Su Cheng felt that this matter was a bit strange. There was no conflict between Lu Wan and Princess Xu, but suddenly the two lost contact. What happened to the princess? They couldn't even write a letter. Could it be that something happened in Yucheng that they didn't know about?

While Su Cheng was thinking, Xiangguo Temple arrived.

The carriage stopped, Aji took the coachman to Xiangguo Temple, and gave some of the medicine on the carriage to the coachman.

Su Cheng raised his eyes to look at Lu Wan and said solemnly: "Miss Lu, please go down too! Find a way to get your family to pick you up at Xiangguo Temple. I'm afraid it's not safe to go to Yucheng now. You only have a little maid with you. It’s not safe, I will inquire about Princess Xu’s affairs for you, and you should return to the capital first.”

Lu Wan didn't know the twists and turns in this, and she refused with a look on her face: "I have made up my mind. Even if Mr. Su is not willing to take me for a ride, I will find a carriage to Yucheng by myself."

Su Cheng covered his eyes and remained silent. He didn't know how to explain the current situation in Yucheng to Lu Wan, but he couldn't just watch Lu Wan get into danger.

After a moment of silence, he persuaded again: "Yucheng is close to Jincheng. General Xiao has relieved his military power. Now the border is not peaceful. If a war breaks out, does Miss Lu think she can escape safely with a maid?"

Lu Wan bit her lip and said calmly: "I know the danger, but if you want to know the situation in Yucheng faster this time, you have to enter Prince Xu's Mansion. But you are a man, and it is difficult to get in. But I am different, I can go in smoothly by visiting Princess Xu, it will be more convenient if you take me with you."

Su Cheng's face darkened and he said indifferently: "I have my own way to get what I want, and I will never let a woman who has no ability to protect herself take risks."

Lu Wan looked at him with a smile on her face: "Are you worried about me?"

Su Cheng gritted his teeth angrily and replied, "Miss Lu, I'm talking to you about serious business, a matter of life and death. Please don't make fun of me!"

Lu Wan sat up straight and said seriously: "Su Cheng, let's make a deal! You take me to Yucheng, and I will help you go to the palace to find out the information you want. When it is done, you will be responsible for keeping me intact. Take it back to the capital, and you can't hide from me again after you return to the capital. If you still don't have feelings for me after you return, I will never pester you again, okay?"

Su Cheng looked at the woman in front of him with cold eyes: "What do you know? Who told you?"

Suddenly he looked at Aji who was driving outside. Aji was driving outside and suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming from behind him.

He hurriedly stopped the carriage and said in a panic: "Master, it's none of my business. I accidentally let it slip yesterday. I only told Miss Qiaoer the time and where you were going. The other slaves didn't either. I know."

Su Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Well, Aji, now you dare to tell others about your master's whereabouts. Don't you want to live?"

Aji was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy: "Master, spare your life, it's the old lady. The old lady said that Miss Lu is a good girl. If you ask about the whereabouts of the young master, you can tell her. The old lady said that the young master has never been married." , she thinks Miss Lu is very good."

Seeing that he was angry, Lu Wan helped Aji explain: "It's none of his business. I guessed it myself. I saw you were in a hurry to go to Yucheng after you went to the East Palace yesterday, so I guessed that it must be the second prince. There is a problem on the side. The prince must be because you have business dealings in Yucheng. Going there to inquire about these things will not attract the attention of others. I want to follow you and also want to help you. I really have no other intentions. You Believe me!"
