âPa, pa, pa, pa.â A crisp clapping rang out as the carriage stopped. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The curtain opened and a bald man in a long white robe looked at her to say, âIt seems like the miss has heard what we said previously.â
Luo Qing Chen narrowed her eyes that had a cold glow in them, âI donât like mincing words, so just get straight to the point.â
âMiss is straightforward, this subordinate is Hui Chen.â
âDustâ¦â¦off?â
âI am a priest from the Snow Stop Country. This time, I came to the Mu Country with the princess.â Hui Chen said, âBut because of an accident, the princess died. The miss looks similar to the princess and the people of the Mu Country have never seen the princess beforeâ¦â¦â
âYou think that I would work with you?â Luo Qing Chen gave a shrug before looking down at her clothes, âBeing a princess isnât like changing clothes.â
âOf course, but you donât have a choice.â Hui Chen patiently explained, âWe are in the same boat now. If you tell the king or the crown prince that you arenât the princess, you will die as well.â
âWhat a jokeâ¦â¦â Luo Qing Chen coldly narrowed her eyes, âWho do you think I am? Can you hold me?â
âI certainly know that the miss is someone with martial arts, so I had Manâer give the miss some Tendon Weakening Pills. The miss shouldnât be able to use any internal energy right now.â
Luo Qing Chen didnât reply, but her clear eyes were especially cold.
He was right. She couldnât use her internal energy at all, as well as being unable to put strength in her arms and legs.
She indeed had no choice but to compromise, but she had to let the other side know that she wasnât someone that could be messed with.
âSo what?â Luo Qing Chen said with a cold smile, âIf I donât cooperate, you will all be buried with me.â
Her expression was very calm, not showing a trace of panic.
Perhaps it was because she was so calm that the high priest Hui Chen showed a desolate look.
âWe implore the miss to help.â
After the high priest said this, Manâer and Gu Sang kneeled at the same time, âWe implore the miss to help us.â
âIs this how you ask for help?â Luo Qing Chen looked at them and said, âUsing drugs to impair my internal energy?â
âMissâ¦â¦â
âI said it just now, I donât like beating around the bush.â Luo Qing Chen gave a soft snort as she didnât hesitate to cut him off. She raised her right hand to make a gesture, âIâll give you two choices. First, give me the antidote, then we go to the Mu Country and I take the place of your princess. Second, we die together. Iâm not suffering a loss if Iâm buried with all these people.â
Silence, silence, silence.
There was only silence in the horse carriage.
After a long time high priest Hui Chen took out the antidote from his sleeve to give to Luo Qing Chen, âI hope that the miss will keep her words.â
âHigh priestâ¦â¦â Manâer wanted to say something, but Hui Chen shook his head, âWe were unkind in this matter in the first place. Itâs normal that the miss wouldnât want to help us.â
After taking the antidote, Luo Qing Chen said, âRelax! I am a person that keeps my word. Unless I die, I will not break my promise.â
âIâm afraid that the miss isnât aware. This time, we came to offer the princess to the crown prince of the Mu Country.â Hui Chen honestly said, âHe is not a kind master.â
âWhat did you say?â Luo Qing Chen was surprised, âThe crown prince?â
