Then, Chushi Weiyang looked at her and said, "If so, Miss Bai, please lead the way."

Later, he followed Bai Shuangshuang to the roast chicken shop.

Meanwhile, in Qianqing Theater, the play was on and more and more people flooded into the theater.

An Qin called Sicha and whispered to her.

When she finished, Sicha nodded and walked out of the room.

Everyone was completely absorbed in the fantastic play presented on the stage.

When Sicha walked past the audience, some rich young masters even scolded her.

Seeing Sicha, the man who guarded the theater gate beckoned to her.

The latter directly walked to him.

"Miss, what can I do for you?" The man looked at Sicha and asked.

Sicha nodded at him and requested, "Her Highness remembers that she has to go off on some errand. So could you please let us leave through your back door?"

High-class theaters in ancient times would all make their own rules.

For example, when the play was on, they would close the door and allow no one to leave halfway in order to better entertain the audience.

Rich people and high-ranking officials loved such places.

Hearing that, the man slightly frowned but soon, he answered, "Miss, this is too..."

The man swallowed back some words and continued, "How about you wait here for a while and let me ask my boss whether you can go out?"

"No problem," Sicha nodded.

Afterward, the man walked to the back stage.

After a moment, the man walked out with a smile. He replied, "Miss, please tell Her Highness that you can leave now."

"Thank you," Sicha nodded and turned around to go back to the room.

When she was back, An Qin turned her head and stood up. Looking at Sicha, she asked, "How's everything going? Can we leave now?"

"Yes, Your Highness," Sicha nodded and answered.

Hearing that, An Qin wore a smile and commented, "I knew it."

Even before she married Shuo Ling, the theater manager would agree to her request given her father was An Ran, let alone that she was Shuo Ling's concubine now.

She turned around and said to Qiao Shu who was sitting, "Qiao Shu, let's go."

"Alright," Qiao Shu responded and stood up to walk to An Qin.

They left the room.

When stepping out, they saw the man still guarding the door.

At the sight of them, he smiled and said, "Follow me this way."

An Qin nodded and they all followed him to move to the back door.

An Qin turned her head to the man after walking out and said, "Sorry to cause inconvenience to you. When I'm free again, I will come back to watch a full play."

"Thank you," the man cupped his hands and replied with a smile.

An Qin smiled back, and then they walked away.

At this time, An Qin whispered to Sicha, "Get us a carriage."

"Yes," Sicha responded with hands cupped and went out first.

As for the man Zhou Ji sent to spy on them, he might have left?

An Qin hoped she could figure out what happened through this investigation.

Her father sent her a letter a few days ago to check on the process so that he could make preparations in advance.

When Sicha led a carriage back, Qiao Shu and An Qin got on. Then, Sicha who sat on the front seat drove the carriage away.

They directly rode to the gate of Jing City.

At the same time, Bai Shuangshuang detoured a few times with Chushi Weiyang before finding the roast chicken shop she'd like to go to.

The sign on the shop read "Xu's".

Bai Shuangshuang smiled at Chushi Weiyang and said, "Here we are. We found it."

Then, she ran to the door first.

The young clerk in the shop looked at Bai Shuangshuang and asked, "Miss, what do you want?"

"Two roast chickens. Please serve us one here and wrap the other up," Bai Shuangshuang ordered and then walked inside.

It had been two years. But unexpectedly, this shop still looked exactly the same, with no change at all.

But the clerk was not the one she knew anymore.

He said to Bai Shuangshuang, "Please have a seat first. The chicken will be served soon."

Bai Shuangshuang nodded and walked to one table to sit down. Chushi Weiyang looked around and also walked in to sit opposite her.

The smells of roast chicken wafted towards them.

Bai Shuangshuang took a deep breath in delight.

It had been a long time and she could finally have a taste of the roast chicken again.

A moment later, the roast chicken was served by the young clerk and he smilingly said, "Please enjoy."

"I will. Thank you," Bai Shuangshuang answered without even taking her eyes away from the chicken.

She directly pulled a drumstick off and put it in her mouth.

Just having one bite, she noticed that Chushi Weiyang on the opposite was staring at her.

Then Bai Shuangshuang realized what she did and felt a bit embarrassed. Taking the drumstick out of her mouth, she looked at Chushi Weiyang and apologized, "I'm sorry, but it smells so good and I haven't had a roast chicken for a long time. Please excuse me."

"It's fine. Just enjoy yourself," Chushi Weiyang answered with a smile.

Right when he finished, Bai Shuangshuang put the drumstick back to her mouth to free her hands. She pulled the other drumstick off.

She mumbled, "Here. Take this."

"Take the bone?" Chushi Weiyang squinted and asked after seeing that Bai Shuangshuang only pulled the bone off.

Hearing that, Bai Shuangshuang lowered her head. The roast chicken was so tender that she pulled the bone off, instead of the meat, which was still attached to the body.

At the sight of that, Bai Shuangshuang was embarrassed and took the drumstick in her mouth out. Looking at Chushi Weiyang, she suggested, "Well... Would you like some chicken wings?"

"Sounds fine," Chushi Weiyang nodded.

Chushi Weiyang concluded that Bai Shuangshuang was different from other people after seeing her embarrassed look. To avoid more embarrassing situations, he nodded.

Actually, living in the royal palace, he could eat such roast chicken every meal.

But he never tried it for it looked greasy.

Chushi Weiyang took over the chicken wing from Bai Shuangshuang and had a bite.

He didn't know why, but he thought it tasted so good.

So he had another bite.

Seeing that, Bai Shuangshuang smiled at him and asked, "What do you think? Is it good?"

"Yes, it's delicious."

"I haven't eaten roast chickens for a long time, and this was the reason why I came here today. But I didn't expect that I was not in luck," Bai Shuangshuang nodded and had one more bite.

Then, one thought occurred to her so she continued, "If you like it, you can also have the other wing."

Chushi Weiyang slightly raised his eyebrow, swallowed the chicken in his mouth, and nodded.

Smiling at him, Bai Shuangshuang then looked down at her drumstick and focused on finishing it.

Soon, they ate up the whole chicken.

Bai Shuangshuang suddenly burped, which made her blush and lower her head.

"Eh, Miss Bai, do you want more? Let's order one more?" Chushi Weiyang looked at Bai Shuangshuang and asked.

But the latter wiped away the grease around her mouth and replied, "No need. I'm full."

"Alright," Chushi Weiyang nodded.

Then, he raised his head to ask the busy clerk, "How much?"

"Young Master, 30 copper coins for one chicken. You've ordered two, so you should pay me 60 copper coins," the young clerk stopped to run to them and tell them the price.

Taking out a few pieces of silver and putting them on the table, Chushi Weiyang said, "Keep the change."

"Thank you. Thank you," the young clerk nodded with a smile and expressed his thanks.

Then he collected the silver and brought the wrapped roast chicken to them.

"Miss, this is your wrapped roast chicken," said the young clerk who put the chicken in front of Bai Shuangshuang.

She nodded and stood up to say to Chushi Weiyang, "I'm very grateful for what you did today. But it's late now and I have to hurry back home. Please tell me where you live, and I will come back to repay you later."

"You're welcome. It's lucky to meet you today, so please let me treat you," Chushi Weiyang raised his eyebrow and replied.

But when he finished, Bai Shuangshuang didn't say anything until she looked down for a while. "I can't do this. I've promised to repay you. I will wait here for you three days later."

Then, Bai Shuangshuang grabbed the chicken put on the table and ran out.

Chushi Weiyang stood up and reached out. "Hey, Miss..."

Before he finished, Bai Shuangshuang already ran away.

Chushi Weiyang shook his head with a smile.

He wasn't even sure whether he could leave the palace three days later. If he couldn't, she would have a wasted trip.

He didn't know that Bai Shuangshuang was also bothered by this question at the same time.

In the meantime, Qiao Shu, An Qin, and Sicha were out of Jing City.

Qiao Shu pulled back the carriage curtain and pointed at the road to the Youyou Valley.

After riding for a long time, Qiao Shu asked Sicha to stop.

Ain Qin turned to Qiao Shu and asked, "Why? Anything wrong?"

"I remember I lost track of Shuo Ling nearby. Let's hide the carriage in case of alerting people around," Qiao Shu looked back and answered.

Getting the answer, An Qin said to Sicha, "Stop and hide the carriage in a concealed place."

"Yes, Your Highness," Sicha responded and stopped the carriage.
