The two of them didn't know how far they had run and now they found themselves in a town.
Fu Xuan said he was tired and needed a rest, but the Princess felt a little worried. They had managed to escape their pursuers with great difficulty; lingering here might lead to their discovery.
Before she could voice her concern, Fu Xuan seemed to read her worry. He smiled and said, "No need to worry, Your Highness. They won't find us here."
Seeing that the Princess was still uneasy, Fu Xuan asked, "Aren't you hungry, Your Highness?"
It was only then that the Princess realized her stomach was empty. Her nerves had been so tense that she hadn't noticed, but with Fu Xuan's mention, her hunger surged over her.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she whispered, "Then let's have a meal first."
"Your Highness, in this remote place, there's no such thing as 'having a meal' like in the Imperial Palace. You should say 'eat food' instead."
