The crowd did not disperse as quickly, but it was no longer as bustling as before. The people around started to hurry on their way, busy with their own affairs.
Xiao Hen stood on the long street, gazing in the direction of the Princess's departing carriage.
He wasn't sure if it was his own illusion, but at the moment he fell in front of the carriage, there seemed to be an unmistakable gaze from inside the carriage fixed upon him.
...
The dried meat he had just bought had gotten soiled, so Xiao Hen went to buy some new dried meat.
He thought there shouldn't be any more trouble, but unexpectedly, an unforeseen incident occurred.
The moment he turned around with the dried meat in hand, he bumped into Nangong Li, who was coming out of the iron shop across the street.
Nangong Li saw Xiao Hen in a glance.
The carriage was only a few steps away from Xiao Hen, but instead of getting on, he wandered back into the dried meat shop.
Nangong Li's brow furrowed.
