Bei Hui frowned slightly when she heard this, but she did not move. "Your Highness will not see guests unless it is an important matter."
The nobleman seemed to have anticipated this. He signaled his attendants to fetch a bundle of hemp rope and handed it to the guard, and said gently, "Tie me up tighter. I do have something important to discuss with the princess. Please pass it on, young lady."
When the young master of Wuzhou Xie's family was tied up and taken into the cabin by the guards, he still had a calm expression and a gentle look.
He didn't even bring two followers on board. This courage alone was enough to impress people.
At that time, Anxia sat upright, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he looked at the person who came carefully.
The young man had a good-looking face, with a smile on his thin lips, and a noble demeanor mixed with a dashing and romantic temperament. The most outstanding thing was his eyes, which were as black as ink, but with the corners of his eyes slightly raised, and it seemed as if there were stars floating in his eyes.
If you look closely, she is somewhat similar to Cen Yuan. However, Cen Yuan's eyebrows are like knives, and her whole body is filled with a chilling coldness; while the one in front of him is like a willow reflected in a spring stream, with a natural and elegant charm.
At that time, Anxia's eyes turned slightly, and she had already thought about it. She looked majestic, "Untie me, and give me a seat."
After the maid finished serving tea, she asked, "Mr. Xie, what brings you here this time?"
Master Xie hesitated for a moment and said, "This is a serious matter. Your Highness, can we talk to you alone?"
Bei Hui took a step forward and shouted, "How dare you!"
Shi Anxia's fingertips gently stroked the teacup, and the green porcelain made her nails look as smooth as jade. She glanced at Bei Hui, who immediately fell silent and stepped back.
"That's all right." Shi Anxia raised the corners of her lips slightly. "Since Master Xie said it's a matter of great importance..." She raised her hand slightly, and the attendants in the cabin filed out, leaving only Bei Hui and Dong Xi standing with their hands hanging down. "Now you can tell me."
Master Xie chuckled suddenly, with a gleam of light in the corners of his eyes, "Your Highness is very courageous."
There were only two women left in the cabin. If he had any evil intentions, he could probably succeed with just one strike.
Shi Anxia picked up the teacup, the clear tea in the cup reflected her deep eyes, and she said slowly, "If Mr. Xie has ill intentions, you might as well guess whether you will be made into fish sashimi in Guicheng or minced meat in Tiema City. I don't mind choosing a destination for you."
Mr. Xie's smile suddenly faded, and he bowed properly as his sleeves fell down, "I am sorry for being rude."
When he stood up, he saw that the elegantly decorated cabin was completely silent. The princess' eyelashes did not even flutter, and the two maids behind her did not move at all. Only the smoke from the gilded beast stove was rising.
He lowered his eyelashes and sat down again. "I followed Your Highness all the way. After leaving the capital, when Your Highness stayed at the Qingliu Inn in Qingcheng, Yuanzhou, I happened to be there too."
Shi Anxia frowned slightly, but did not interrupt.
Master Xie paused, "That night, a woman dressed as a wet nurse in your Highness' entourage had a secret meeting with someone."
"That man used only half a jade copper coin to force the girl to drink a bowl of medicine." Master Xie caught a glimpse of the princess's gradually losing color.
When Shi Anxia heard this, her face turned pale and ugly. But she tried to maintain her dignity and demeanor, "What are the characteristics of that woman?"
Master Xie shrugged. "It was dark, so I couldn't see clearly. Fortunately, my people secretly followed the man and rescued a baby about one year old. Your Highness only needs to take the child to a few wet nurses. Whoever claims the child will own the child."
"What do you want?" Shi Anxia raised his eyebrows and got straight to the point.
Mr. Xie suddenly smiled and said, "I do have a request."
Shi Anxia's eyes were indifferent, "Speak."
"The Xie family of Wuzhou has been engaged in tea and silk business for a hundred years, but it has never been able to rank among the imperial merchants." He stood up and bowed solemnly, "I would like to exchange this good relationship for your royal advice in two years."
Shi Anxia understood, "The Xie family wants to become an imperial merchant. If this is true, I will take note of it."
Master Xie hurriedly bowed again, "Thank you, Princess."
An hour later, a little girl over a year old cried softly and was quietly wrapped in a quilt, with traces of tears on her little face.
Bei Hui took the child and handed it to the princess.
Just as Master Xie was about to bow and leave, he suddenly heard a voice from behind him, "Wait a minute."
When he turned around, he heard the princess ask, "May I know Mr. Xie's name?"
