Princess Jingning alighted from the carriage without another word.
Shen Chuan was slightly stunned.
Princess Jingning said calmly, "Lord Shen, please lead the way."
Shen Chuan paused and cupped his hands. "Yes."
Taozhi said to the coachman, "Go back first. Miss and I will take the carriage to the Protectorate later!"
The coachman replied, "Yes."
Shen Chuan brought Princess Jingning through a few narrow alleys and arrived at an endless small street market.
The two of them walked side by side in the crowd.
Shen Chuan maintained a distance from Princess Jingning, but he would also pay attention to his surroundings and use his body to block the passersby who accidentally bumped into them.
The noise and laughter in her ears were filled with the smoke and fire of the market.
Shen Chuan said to Princess Jingning, "After passing through this street market, we won't be far from the Protectorate."
