“Why?”
“Mom, don’t worry. Nancheng prefecture is close to Shunyang prefecture. I will be back ten days later.”
“But I will worry about you.”
“There is no need to worry. I will go along the official road and I have bodyguards. I’ll be safe.”
Zhao worried about Muge, but she saw Muge was determined and she was concerned about Zhang, so she said yes finally.
“You are away from home. Promise me to be very careful.”
“Mom, take it easy. I’ll be OK.”
Before she left, Muge enjoined Yueru on many things.
“The eldest Miss, I’ll remember.”
Su Lun was told that Muge would go to Nancheng prefecture. It’s rare that he kindly arranged a carriage, three bodyguards and one driver for Muge.
“You are a young lady. Why don’t you bring some maids when you go out?” Su Lun noticed that there was no one around Su Muge and frowned.
She was his daughter who was born
“Crack!”A bolt of lightning lit up the temple, and Su Muge could see the statue, dilapidated and hideous, which made her frightened.The temple was shabby but it’s a shelter from wind and rain. Su Muge lit the wood and straw with Huozhezi, a roll of paper that could be blown to fire. Her clothes were wet from the rain and it’d better dry them. Otherwise, she would catch a fever by wearing wet clothes.Su Muge took some food from the carriage and she put a wooden stick behind the door of the temple for safety.Despite this, the temple was in the middle of nowhere and no one could come here.She took off her outer clothing and dried it by the fire.“Ah Qiu” Muge sneezed.It’s darker outside, but the rain continued.“It’s so cold.” After a long journey and all-time tension, she was so tired that she leaned on the pillar to have a rest by closing her eyes. However, she
“What did you say?” The man squinted at her frighteningly.Su Muge rubbed herself between her eyebrows and wore her outer clothing. She had a fever and felt cold so she made the fire hotter.“You are wounded on the waist. If you don’t take off your clothes, I can’t deal with it.”Hearing that, the man stared at her and observed her carefully.She covered one of her eyes with a handkerchief. She looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was audacious and calm when facing him.He pulled his clothes off. Muge caught sight of his muscle on the chest.She hated to admit it, but he was really in good shape, and there is literally no flab on her body at all.“Stop staring at me.” His voice was still ice-cold.Su Muge got closer to him and stared at his body more carefully. “If I don’t observe carefully, how can I know where the wound is?”She squatted down to
Su Muge started the carriage and continued her journey to Nancheng prefecture. She wanted to visit Zhang on behalf of Zhao since she had made the promise.She took a whole day to travel along the official road and finally saw the lofty gate of Nancheng prefecture.When she entered the prefecture, it was already dark and too late to continue the journey. She had to head for Zhao village till tomorrow.Several days’ journey made Su Muge exhausted, so she found an inn to accommodate herself after buying some medicine she may need.“Please arrange a first-class room for me.”The innkeeper took a look at her covered eye, freezing a bit, and said, “OK, lady. Please wait for a moment.”“Where is the manager? Come here quickly.”A yell burst out outside when the innkeeper just finished his words.Su Muge turned back and saw two soldiers wearing military uniforms, followed by a man wearing
“There is an assassin. Catch him!” The soldiers rushed to the man in black from the front yard.The man in black saw so many soldiers coming to him, and he was about to grab Su Muge. Su Muge tended to avoid him, but it was too late to escape. She was finally caught by the man in black and controlled before his chest, and the sharp point of his sword was against her neck.“Don’t push me, or I’ll kill her!”Su Muge closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She told herself to be calm!The soldiers hesitated for a while when seeing Su Muge was caught, but instantly they relaxed.For them, saving a common person was less important than catching an assassin aiming at the princess!“Catch him, and he must be alive!”Bastards!Su Muge didn’t expect them to save her, but she was still angry when hearing that. She bit the man on the hand when he didn’t pay attention to her. “Ah
It was not only his face but also his lofty and noble temperament that fascinated others. He seemed to be a sword to be unsheathed. Even if he stood still, he looked scary.The man wore a white gown with dark patterns and had a jade belt on his waist, which demonstrated he was slender and straight. Despite this, Su Muge thought his white gown was like a battle robe because of the formidable ambiance.Xia Houmo looked ahead, without giving a glimpse to Su Muge without any rest.Hua Zheng wore a sweet smile on her dainty face the moment she saw Xia Houmo and said, “Your Royal Highness, were you OK last night?” “Is everything done?” Xia Houmo ignored Hua Zheng’s inquiry and said to his bodyguard.“Your Royal Highness, everything is OK.”“Start off.”What Xia Houmo said made Su Muge returned to herself. She thought that man didn’t know a little about romance and didn’t have any tenderness toward
“Oh, she was still alive.” The Taoist priest reached Su Muge’s nose tip and sensed that she was alive.Looking at Su Muge who was comatose, the Taoist priest hesitated and frowned. “It’s not my fault, but you are comatose.” He reached his hand to her waist and got her money, weighing them up.“Lady, earlier death, better life.” Guima put the money away and was about to leave. Suddenly, he was caught by someone.He looked back and saw Su Muge had been awake!“Give it back to me!” Su Muge stared at Guima with her light eyes. Her fingertips whitened due to grasping him tightly.Zhao and her previous body had been bullied by An for many years and Zhao was born in a peasant family, so she didn’t have much own dowry. Even if she had some, she gave Su Lun to let him take the examination in the capital. The twenty-liang silver in the purse was all Zhao’s private savings. Without this money, she would not starve to death. But n
“I saved you. Is it appropriate to treat me like that?” Guima lit a torch and put the basket on a huge stone. Su Muge sat down before the fire. “You saved me?”He was exposed but he was not angry. “Yes, I saved you.”Guima took some food from the basket and threw them to her.Su Muge didn’t know how long she had been here and she was starving. So she just picked up the steamed bun and ate it, regardless of it being dirty.Guima sat opposite to her and asked, “where were you poisoned?”Su Muge had a bite of the steamed bun and looked up at him with her clear eyes which were full of puzzles.“Poison, what poison? Am I poisoned?” Fear appears in her eyes. “So, am I dying soon?”Guima was puzzled when seeing she was ignorant and fearful.“You didn’t know you were poisoned?”Su Muge shook her head woodenly.“Why were you driving the carriage in t
Su Muge looked at the yard and frowned.As the night approached, it’s so dark in the yard, quiet and weird, which was incompatible with the ascending smoke in the surroundings. Su Muge opened the fence gate. There was nothing but three old adobe houses in the yard.An gave Zhao and Muge silver worth three liang a month just for effect. Zhao kept one liang for her use and the rest would be saved secretly. She had been sending at least ten liang to Zhang every year.Su Muge knew that Zhang had three sons and two daughters and they were all married. They had more than ten acres of land. Zhao told Muge that her uncles were not useless. Her third uncle was a farmer, and the other two uncles worked at the town and had monthly income. Moreover, Zhao sent money to them every year. It’s not difficult for them to build several good houses. Puzzled by this, Su Muge pushed the door of the main room and smelled an acrid stink tha
The abbot just came back to his senses and stepped forward with a frown. Before Jiang Yingxue came in, he checked the princess's pulse. At that time, the princess's pulse had been blocked and the situation was very dangerous. At this time, he had to quickly use a needle to clear the princess's heart pulse. , but even in this case, the princess's situation will be very dangerous.But now that Jiang Yingxue has applied pressure on the princess, the blocked heart veins have been slightly unblocked. If nothing else, at least as Jiang Yingxue said, the princess is no longer in danger of her life.Jiang Yingxue stood aside and quickly glanced at King Jinling. He was wearing a very simple dark-colored robe, with a mutton-fat jade belt tied around his waist, which made him taller and taller.He had a pair of majestic sword-shaped eyebrows. Originally, there should be a pair of deep and sharp eyes under such eyebrows, but the look he cast on the princess was particularly ge
Jiang Yingxue almost lost her voice and asked, "Didn't you install a pinhole camera on me?""Your Majesty is really clever."Su Yuchen held the reins and slowed down the horse."My lord, why did you break off the engagement in the first place?""What did you say?" Jiang Yingxue's words were not loud, but Su Yuchen heard them, but he still asked.Jiang Yingxue shook her head suddenly. She was really crazy. She asked what she was doing for no reason!"Nothing, I, I want to find Mr. Han. I have something to ask him.""You have a lot to ask him."Jiang Yingxue had something on her mind and didn't notice anything wrong with the tone of his words.Su Yuchen took Jiang Yingxue to the door of the palace."Your Majesty.""This king has something else to do, you can go find it yourself.""Thank you, Your Majesty."When Jiang Yingxue walked into Mr. Han's yard, she always felt that something was wrong, as if there we
When Jiang Yingxue woke up early the next morning, her heart sank when she looked at the red line that had extended to the base of her palm.This grows too fast! With the speed at which the red thread was growing, she was afraid that if she didn't get the artifact, she would go see King Yama first!I wonder if Mr. Han has any way to slow down the growth of red lines.With something on her mind, Jiang Yingxue couldn't sit still. After breakfast, she was ready to go to Prince Zhan's Mansion to find Mr. Han.Because she was in a hurry, Jiang Yingxue asked Chu Yi to drive the car faster. When she reached a street and was about to turn, someone suddenly rushed out on horseback.Chu Yi was shocked and quickly tightened the reins in her hands, but the opponent's speed was too fast. Even though she pulled the reins immediately, the opponent's horse still hit her."ah!"Jiang Yingxue only felt a violent tremor outside the car, and she was almost knoc
"Your Majesty, those are not sesame seeds, they are the particles that originally grow on the red fruit. They are edible."Bai Linghan felt that his face had been lost due to this red fruit!"Get out!"Jiang Yingxue rolled her eyes inwardly, she was such a bad tempered person."Yes, slave, please leave."After Jiang Yingxue left the house, she went directly to the small kitchen behind the palace. Just kidding, how could she leave without getting the Phoenix Pendants!The people from Nayu Kingdom have just arrived, so no one will use the small kitchen."The emperor has gone to bed. You all go outside and keep watch. The emperor likes peace and quiet, especially at night. There shouldn't be any noise.""yes."Jiang Yingxue lay beside the door, listening to the noise outside, and climbed out of the window.She climbed to the eaves neatly, and carefully came to the roof where Bai Linghan was. She removed the tiles on the roof,
In the imperial palace, in the royal study."Your Majesty, the Great Xia Great War will be held in less than half a month. Now the honor guards from various countries have entered the borders of Daxia and will reach Bianjing City in less than ten days."Emperor Shang Zong pondered the lock on his hand and raised his head after hearing this."Just follow the management arrangements from previous years."Wen Dahai glanced at Emperor Shang Zong who was looking at him intently and felt helpless. "Your Majesty, the honor guards from various countries have arrived. Who does Your Majesty think would be more appropriate to receive them?"Emperor Shang Zong put down the lock in his hand and walked around the study twice with his hands behind his back."What do you think, boss?""The eldest prince is prudent in his work, so he can naturally take on big responsibilities." Wen Dahai said hurriedly."It's stable, but it's too boring. Why don't we l
Jiang Yingxue hid in the firewood shed in the backyard of Huawang Mansion, looking at the blood gradually drying on her palms, her heart was filled with despair!True dragon blood, not the emperor, nor the prince who might become the emperor in Bianjing! Who else could it be? Could it be that they are those young princes who are not taken seriously by the emperor at all, who have no support from their mother's family, who have absolutely no sparkle in them?or it could be...King of Jinling?When warriors from all over the world went to Daxia to hold a battle, King Jinling would also come back. It happened that she also wanted to confirm whether Su Muge was with King Jinling.Jiang Yingxue walked out of the woodshed, opened the door to the backyard of the palace smoothly and walked out.It was true that Baili Xun had people blockade the palace, but the speed of those people could not compare with Jiang Yingxue. By the time the guards came, Jiang Y
Are you afraid of him?Facing such a powerful man with great kung fu, she was afraid of confronting him. However, no matter what Su Yuchen's mentality was after getting along with him during this period of time, Jiang Yingxue felt that he would not kill her. life, so she couldn't say she was afraid of him."Your Majesty, do you want me to be afraid of you?"Su Yuchen looked at her and didn't answer.Jiang Yingxue smiled. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me today." As she said that, she felt blessed and followed Wen Dahai.It wasn't until Jiang Yingxue's back disappeared from sight that Su Yuchen turned around and left the palace.It was already the second watch. After surviving the sleepiest time, Jiang Yingxue was no longer so sleepy.She lay on the bed and looked at the green tent in confusion. After today's banquet, the emperor should grant marriages to his sons soon. Judging from the emperor's attitude today, he also planned to settl
Jiang Yingxue looked around, but there was no one there."Strange, where have people gone?""Little eunuch? Little eunuch?" She stood outside the rockery and waited for a while, then frowned after making sure there was no one inside.It was unlikely that the little eunuch got lost in the rockery, and it was also unlikely that he would just leave without confirming whether she had followed him out. Where did that person go?While Jiang Yingxue was confused, there was a sound of footsteps behind her. Jiang Yingxue turned around and looked at the visitor alertly. It was a palace maid wearing a peach-colored palace dress.Jiang Yingxue looked at her and felt that this person looked familiar."Greetings to Miss Jiang, this slave is Wanlian who is serving Concubine Hao. Just now, Xiao Dunzi suddenly felt sick in his stomach and ran to the latrine. When he saw the slave, he asked the slave to come and send Miss Jiang to the guest hall."It turned o
Everyone focused their attention on the lock in the hand of Jiang Yingxue."This lock is made with great care by me. You can't possibly..."There was a "click", and the emperor's unfinished words were stuck in his throat.The lock is open!The emperor's eyes were so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets!Everyone held their breath and their hearts were raised. Jiang Yingxue opened the lock made by the emperor. Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face! ?Everyone was waiting to see how angry the emperor would be and how he would punish Jiang Yingxue. But who knew that after the initial shock, the emperor ran to Jiang Yingxue with an earnest look on his face."You little girl, I thought you were interesting before. Tell me, how did you open this lock?""The emperor's locks are very exquisite, and I just tried my luck to open them." Just kidding, Jiang Yingxue has been a professional locksmith for more than ten years, and even
