This Way, Princess
After Shen Roujia spoke, the innkeeper respectfully explained, “Princess, that temple used to be a nunnery, but it fell into disrepair for unknown reasons. Hardly anyone goes there anymore, except for those who offer incense. But there’s no resident abbot or anyone in charge.”
After the innkeeper finished, someone else cautiously added, “Princess, I think there’s something suspicious about this situation.” 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Shen Roujia nodded slowly. “Then hurry and investigate before anything else happens.”
Gao Huaichang’s mind raced, and he quickly began organizing the carriages and horses.
“What are you all standing around for? Escort the princess out of the city now. I’ll handle the rest of the situation according to His Majesty’s instructions and report it to the local governor.”
“The princess’s safety is paramount, so I ask for your understanding.”
Gao Huaichang’s concern was understandable, but Shen Roujia still looked around with some uncertainty.
“Leaving like this, is it really okay?”
Shen Roujia didn’t fully grasp what orders Gao Huaichang had received from Xu Zening, but she couldn’t shake the unease in her heart.
After all, someone had been killed, and she was a witness.
Just as Shen Roujia was about to speak, she was persuaded by her own reasoning.
“This way, Princess.”
Naturally, no one dared to challenge the authority of someone so closely connected to the royal family. Many things were beyond their control. Shen Roujia felt a bit guilty but said nothing.
She realized that she was already overwhelmed and that not everything could be accomplished with pure determination.
Shen Roujia understood this, so she focused on doing what she could within her limits.
Despite her guilt, Shen Roujia didn’t express it too strongly.
She knew that, given the current situation, there were many things beyond her ability to control.
