The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Now, she had no other thoughts except rushing to her destination and finding a suitable place to stay.

However, her journey was relatively smooth in the first half of the month. In the second half of the month, even with Mu Jinxuan's protection, their journey became increasingly difficult. During this journey, they had to deal with bandits for at least two of the five days they traveled.

However, this was nothing. The most important thing was that they were now stuck on a not-so-wide official road, with people standing in front and behind, leaving her in a dilemma.

Shen Ruolan stood on tiptoe and looked forward, frowning and asked Mu Jinxuan beside her: "What is going on here? Why are so many people gathered here?"

Mu Jinxuan glanced ahead calmly and said to Shen Ruolan, "Wait here, I'll go over and take a look."

After he finished speaking, he flew forward with luck without waiting for Shen Ruolan's response.

Soon, Mu Jinxuan flew back and said to Shen Ruolan, "There is a small town ahead, but to enter the town, everyone needs to prepare a pass and pay five cents."

"Ah, I have to pay?" After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she glanced at the people around her and finally understood why there were so many people stuck here.

Most of the people here were forced to wander to other places because of the drought in their hometowns. Many of them had been robbed by those cruel bandits on the road. Now, let alone five cents, it would be difficult for them to even come up with half a cent.

But then again, it is understandable that a pass is required to enter the city or town, but it is a bit unreasonable that they charge money.

Shen Ruolan rubbed her brows and asked Mu Jinxuan, "Do you have a pass?"

Mu Jinxuan glanced at Shen Ruolan and said with contempt: "As long as I want to go somewhere, no one can stop me."

If a simple little town like this wants to stop him, then there is no need for him, Mu Jinxuan, to be the prince anymore.

Shen Ruolan: “….”

Well, she admitted that he was a martial arts expert and could go anywhere freely.

However, she didn't have a pass, what should she do? She had never thought of this when she was in the capital.

Seeing her like this, Mu Jinxuan looked at her and asked, "Are you an illegal resident?"

Shen Ruolan glared at him and said, "You are the illegal resident. Your whole family is illegal resident."

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "I just accidentally dropped it on the way here."

Mu Jinxuan looked at Shen Ruolan who was feeling guilty. He was too lazy to expose her. He just said to her expressionlessly, "You have two choices now. One is that you quickly find a way to get a pass, and the other is that I carry you and fly over."

After Mu Jinxuan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ruolan with a smile, wanting to see what choice she would make.

After spending more than ten days together, he got to know her a little better. She was very resistant to being touched by the opposite sex. Even if her clothes were touched, she would subconsciously step back a long way.

Thinking of this, Mu Jinxuan set his gaze on Shen Ruolan's lower abdomen, guessing in his heart that her hatred of the opposite sex might be related to the father of the child in her belly.

Seeing the man staring at her belly, Shen Ruolan quickly stepped back, stared at him with an unhappy look and scolded, "What are you looking at?"

After she finished speaking, she turned her back and began to ponder in her heart. She would naturally not let the man carry her away. After all, she didn't know any martial arts, and it would be too passive for her to be held in the air by someone else. What if the man was unhappy and threw her down from the air? What should she do then?

After Shen Ruolan thought deeply, she looked at the people around her and whispered to them, "Fellow villagers, does anyone have extra travel passes? I'll buy them from you."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, many people looked at her. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Young man, how much money can you give?"

Shen Ruolan thought for a moment and said, "One pass can be exchanged for two taels of silver."

When the common people heard that a pass could be exchanged for two taels of silver, someone hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young man, my son fell ill on the road and died. He just didn't have time to sell his pass, so I'll sell it to you now."

"Brother, I have one too. My daughter is dead on the road. I'll sell you her pass."

"Brother, I have one too..." the common people said one after another.

Shen Ruolan heard that there were both men and women. She was silent for a moment and said, "I want two. Whoever has a boy and a girl between the ages of eighteen and nineteen, bring them to me."

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, the common people all took out their passes.

Shen Ruolan saw that there were more than ten tickets. She picked one for each man and woman, and said to the other people who were not selected with an apologetic look, "Fellow villagers, I will only buy two tickets. If you haven't sold any, you can quietly go to the front to see if anyone wants to buy them."

The common people who were not chosen pleaded with Shen Ruolan, "Brother, please buy mine too. We urgently need money to cross the town, otherwise we will starve to death here."

Shen Ruolan shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't have any extra money."

In fact, she still had a lot of money, but she didn't dare show it among so many refugees.

She took away 20,000 taels out of the 50,000 taels that Jiang Dichen gave her. She originally planned to take all of it, but Jiang Dichen was a suspicious person, and she was afraid that he would find out, so she didn't dare to take all of it.

In order to make everyone believe that she had no money, Shen Ruolan took out a small purse from her bosom, rummaged around for a long time before she took out a few silver coins, and handed them to the two people who sold her the pass with reluctance on her face.

After getting the pass, Shen Ruolan winked at the two of them, signaling them to hurry up.

Fortunately, the two men were not stupid. The moment they saw Shen Ruolan winking at them, they quickly called their families and went around to the side of the official road.

Shen Ruolan was worried that someone would report her for buying the pass, so after the two families left, she hurriedly took a detour.

Mu Jinxuan also followed.

When the two of them were almost at the gate of the town, Mu Jinxuan stretched out his hand in front of Shen Ruolan and said, "Give it to me."

Shen Ruolan looked at him with confusion on her face and asked, "What?"

Mu Jinxuan frowned when he saw Shen Ruolan's slow reaction. Is this person really a doctor? Can he really cure the cold poison in his body?

However, even though Mu Jinxuan was suspicious of Shen Lan, he still patiently reminded Shen Ruolan, "Passport."

When Shen Ruolan heard him asking for a pass, she crossed her arms and said in the same tone as he had just spoken: "Big brother, you have two choices now. One is to buy a pass yourself, and the other is to fly there yourself."

"You..." Mu Jinxuan didn't expect Shen Ruolan to be so vindictive. He snorted at her and said, "I'll be waiting for you at the town gate. Hurry up."

After Mu Jinxuan finished speaking, his luck flew into the town.
