The door was pushed open, and Ling Long, the original host's maidservant, walked in with her head lowered.

Her head was almost lowered to the ground.

Qin Zhao said, "Raise your head."

Ling Long timidly raised her head.

Qin Zhao saw that one of her eyes was as black as a panda's eye, which should have been beaten. She asked, "What happened to your face?"

Ling Long knelt on the ground with a plop and cried out, "Your Highness, last night this slave was originally standing guard outside the door.

It was just a moment when I dozed off and was knocked out on the ground, only to wake up this morning.

It is because this slave did not guard well, please spare my life!"

For other masters, a maid like this would not have enough heads to lose.

But Qin Zhao, as a modern person, had always disliked such master-servant hierarchy.

Besides, the original host had secretly slipped out of the princess mansion to play last night, bringing only Ling Long, so the original host was also responsible.

There was no need to make things too difficult for this little girl.

Qin Zhao said, "Get up."

After thanking Qin Zhao profusely, Ling Long got up and saw Qin Zhao's disheveled clothes. She said, "Your Highness, let this slave help you change your clothes."

"Hmm."

Qin Zhao slightly spread her arms to allow Ling Long to take off her clothes.

Ling Long saw the large and small bruises on Qin Zhao's body and gasped.

Qin Zhao said indifferently, "You are not allowed to publicize this, otherwise your little life will not be guaranteed."

Ling Long quickly acknowledged: "Yes!"

"Don't be too nervous. You just need to do your job well. I will not make things difficult for you," said Qin Zhao.

"This slave has served Your Highness since I was young, and has long regarded Your Highness as her own heaven.

This slave swears to be loyal to Your Highness forever!"

In the original book, Ling Long was barely mentioned.

But her ending was, as the author mentioned in one sentence, that she was loyal to her master, a trustworthy person.

Qin Zhao was wearing a set of men's clothing, whose concise and appropriate tailoring perfectly highlighted her slender figure, matched with a high ponytail and a golden mask.

That exquisite and noble appearance stunned even Ling Long.

She couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you look so beautiful."

She quickly knelt down again, "This slave is being disrespectful, please punish me!"

Qin Zhao said, "It's nothing, don't kneel down at every turn, get up."

"Yes."

Ling Long got up, feeling that her mistress seemed to have changed a lot overnight.

But as a servant, she dared not casually guess the thoughts of her master, so she naturally accepted it.

"Ling Long, do you know where Spring Breeze Building is?" Qin Zhao asked.

Upon hearing this, Ling Long's expression changed slightly, and she hesitated, "Your Highness, it's not appropriate for you to go to such a place..."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. If men can go, why can't I go?"

Ling Long did not dare to say more, "When this slave went out to buy daily necessities for the princess mansion, I passed by Spring Breeze Building before."

"Take me there."

"Yes."

Qin Zhao and Ling Long got off the painted boat and walked onto the streets of the capital.

It was still very lively after the Lantern Festival.

All kinds of stalls were lined up on both sides of the road, with shouts of hawkers, bargaining voices, and laughter lingering around people's ears, presenting a prosperous scene.

At this time, who could have predicted that in the original book, six years later, everything would be reduced to ashes under the iron hooves of the male lead.

I don't know how long I can live in this world, but no matter what, I hope to live in a prosperous and peaceful country.

The throne is bound to be mine!

"The Asura King is here!"

A sudden roar sounded on the originally peaceful and bustling street.

At the same time, the sound of hooves could be heard!

The common people looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a man in purple robes riding a tall horse coming from afar.

The crowd consciously gave way to both sides of the road for him, shouting excitedly, "Asura King! Asura King..."

At this time, Huo Chengjin was at the height of his fame and was the nightmare of the surrounding countries of Great Yue.

But in the eyes of the Great Yue commoners, he was the hero who protected the country.

When Huo Chengjin got closer, Qin Zhao saw his appearance clearly.

It had to be said that he was indeed exceptionally good-looking as the male lead.

But after seeing so many top beauties, she would no longer be moved by someone with such looks.

Besides, she was only interested in women. No matter how handsome, men were no different from pieces of wood to her.

Qin Zhao took a few glances at him, then shifted her gaze away and continued walking forward.

As soon as Huo Chengjin entered this street, he spotted Princess Zhaoyang's shining golden mask from afar and observed her secretly.

He already knew that the princess liked him. Although he had no feelings for Princess Zhaoyang, he enjoyed her admiration very much.

Noticing that the princess had looked away, he felt a little upset in his heart, so he deliberately pretended not to see her at all.

He guessed that, given the princess' willful personality, she would definitely call out to him.

At that time, he would give the princess a little sweetness again. The princess would definitely behave extremely enthusiastically towards him regardless of her status.

This way, his image in the eyes of the common people would surely become even more respected because of the princess's humiliation!

Thinking this way, Huo Chengjin held his chin high, arrogantly straightened his chest, and rode past Qin Zhao.

However, as he counted silently in his heart, there was no shout from Princess Zhaoyang after he had counted to twenty!

Huo Chengjin's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He couldn't help but glance back and saw that Princess Zhaoyang had walked far away without showing any reluctance towards him at all!

His mood immediately became very unhappy!

Where had the princess who would faint with joy just from his smile gone?

And the princess who praised him to the skies in noble ladies' circles would not treat him like this!

Huo Chengjin concluded that she must be pretending!

"Ling Long, support me."

This body was really too weak. After walking less than a kilometer, she was tired and wanted to lie down right there.

Qin Zhao thought helplessly that perhaps 502 was right. Her current body was not suitable to meet the head of Wind and Rain Pavilion now.

Ling Long supported Qin Zhao and asked worriedly, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Qin Zhao shook her head, "Nothing, just a little tired. Let's take a detour back to the princess mansion and go to Spring Breeze Building after some time."

"Yes."

The two took a turn to go back.

Suddenly a man's voice came from behind, "Princess, where are you going?"
