521-530

Chapter 521 After experiencing the greatest torture in the world

, the two secret guards were very happy. They immediately took out their knives and cut off the two maids from the rope.

Then, one of them took out the birth certificate from his arms and threw it in front of the two maids.

Said: "Get out of the city, don't let anyone find you, and you will survive."

The two maids trembled, each grabbed their own body deeds, and climbed to the door of the woodshed.

After they climbed out, the two secret guards closed the door of the woodshed again, and then took out the rags from the mouths of the remaining five people.

He said: "The two people just confessed that they can survive, but only one of you can survive. Whoever wants to confess, please tell me quickly."

Before he finished speaking, someone answered: "It's the emperor, the emperor asked us to go "

Everyone is trying to survive. Even though these five people are well-trained, they are not monolithic.

There will always be someone with a relatively weak will who will confess as soon as he says he will.

The two secret guards understood what was going on and thought that the emperor and the empress' family were acting in unison.

They picked up the rags and gagged the four people who refused to confess.

Then, one person was killed with one knife.

As for the one who confessed, just as he was about to crawl toward the door, a secret guard grabbed his hair and wiped his neck directly.

After doing this, the two secret guards opened the door and saw the two maids still crawling forward.

With expressionless faces, they each pulled out a hemp rope from their sleeves and strangled the two maids to death.

After doing this, they searched the birth certificate from the maid's hand, took the two bodies out of Prince Yan's Mansion, and threw them on the carriage.

Father-in-law Quan took out a bottle of paste from his pocket and re-glued the seal.

The carriage clattered to the mass grave in the west of the city.

Two secret guards dragged the body into the mass grave and burned it.

Then, he disappeared.

Father-in-law Quan drove the carriage to the north of the city and abandoned it.

Not to mention Princess Xiang's disdain for a carriage that pulled dead people, even he didn't want to drive it.

After doing this, Quan's father-in-law returned home and reported today's investigation results to Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu was not surprised at all when she heard the words emperor and queen.

It was no different than she expected.

At this time, in the palace, the emperor was pacing anxiously.

The people who were sent out have been gone for several hours, why haven't they come back yet?

She's just a weak-handed woman. She sent five people there and still can't figure it out?

Just when he was getting more and more frustrated, Eunuch Pang came to report, "Your Majesty, Princess Xiang has given birth to a son. Mother and son are safe."

The emperor's heart thumped, and his face changed.

"How could this happen?" He couldn't help but ask.

Eunuch Pang didn't reply and stood quietly waiting.

He wanted to see, now that the child was born, what tricks did the emperor have to deal with Princess Xiang?

The emperor stood up, turned around twice, and then hit a pen washer.

He roared angrily: "Prince Xiang has a legitimate son, why don't I? Why do I always lose to him? I'm obviously so much older than him, why don't I have a legitimate son yet?"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Eunuch Pang knelt down. After sitting down, he said in a longer voice: "Your Majesty is so blessed that you are in the prime of life. You don't have to worry about not having a legitimate son. Your Majesty, you should take good care of yourself and don't make yourself angry."

After hearing what Eunuch Pang said, the Emperor snorted coldly. He said: "Of course I don't have a problem. If the queen can't give birth to a legitimate son, that's the queen's problem."

After silence, he said: "Eunuch Pang, get me some medicine. I'm going to Fengyi Palace."

Eunuch Pang was right . The queen didn't have a good impression, and now she felt a little sympathetic to the queen.

Unable to give birth to a legitimate son, the emperor stayed in Fengyi Palace every day.

If her health was not good, she would take medicine to overcome the problem, which made the queen exhausted and she did not dare to say anything.

The concubines in the palace who were not lucky enough even laughed at the queen openly and secretly.

Originally, when Marquis Wenzhong still had his title, everyone could exercise a little more restraint.

Since the fall of Marquis Wenzhong, everyone has understood one thing, that is, the emperor has no intention of saving face for the queen.

Without her family and heirs to rely on, the queen has no high position. She is like a rootless duckweed in this palace, swaying in the wind and rain.

Every day, apart from receiving greetings from the concubines, the queen would lock herself in her bedroom.

At first, she actively sought a son, hoping to reverse the situation once she got a boy.

With her children, she can earn another glory for Wenzhonghou Mansion.

But when Dr. Meng told her that since her last miscarriage, she had been favored too quickly and her body was empty, making it difficult for her to have any more children, her world quickly collapsed.

A queen who has no natal family to rely on and no heirs is a living target.

Any ambitious woman in this palace would target her.

The queen was sitting in front of the window, thinking wildly, when she heard an announcement coming from outside the palace.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

came again.

The queen felt an inexplicable fear in her heart.

She never thought that one day she would be afraid of the emperor's arrival.

Isn't it what all the women in the palace look forward to most, to be favored by the most noble man in the world?

The queen stood up numbly and walked towards the palace door.

When the door opened, she saw the emperor walking toward her with lustful eyes, and the fear in her heart became even greater.

The emperor took medicine again.

She didn't know how he would torture her tonight.

Seeing the emperor entering the bedroom, Eunuch Pang went to the palace door and stood guard outside the palace with a solemn expression.

The pill that was fed to the emperor today was the most powerful pill that he had prepared early in the morning.

The Dog Emperor dared to think about hurting Princess Xiang, so let him understand what it means to be in pain and not want to live.

In the palace, the emperor, who had become more confident under the powerful medicine, was preparing to launch a third round of attacks on the queen.

There was only one thought in his mind, he wanted to have a legitimate son, and what Yuan Xiu had, he must have too.

When he has a legitimate son, he will find a way to kill Yuan Xiu's legitimate son.

In this way, Yuan Xiu will never be able to defeat him.

The emperor went crazy, his eyes were red and his movements became more and more violent.

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded outside the palace, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Prince Yan's palace is in trouble."

There seemed to be a snap in his mind, as if a string had been broken.

The emperor's ambition, which had been boosted by the effects of the medicine, suddenly shriveled up like a deflated rubber ball.

There was a tight pain in his lower abdomen. He could bear it at first, but gradually he couldn't help but groan.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?" The queen struggled to hold herself up and saw large beads of sweat slipping from the emperor's forehead.

"Eunuch Pang, call the imperial doctor quickly." The queen was excited and quickly stood up and put on her clothes.

She tried to do something, but found that she didn't know what to do.

She stayed beside the emperor helplessly, watching him gritting his teeth and clutching his lower abdomen, and seemed to understand something.

In his heart, a secret joy suddenly arose.

As soon as this thought came out, she was startled, but she did not restrain herself.

When the imperial doctor hurried in, she had completely calmed down.

He moved slightly and gave up the position beside the couch to the imperial physician.

She stood in the distance, silently watching the cold-hearted man undergo the greatest torture in the world.

Chapter 522 Let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

After a period of intensive examination, the imperial doctor came to a conclusion.

The emperor is inhumane.

When the imperial doctors stated this conclusion to the queen in cryptic terms, the queen's face first calmed down for a moment, and then she squeezed out a heartbroken expression and a few tears that were about to fall.

After the emperor took the tranquilizing medicine, he fell asleep in a daze.

Several imperial doctors got together and considered a recipe to repair the emperor's disease.

After they left, the queen sat alone by the emperor's couch, looking at the emperor's brows that were still frowning in his sleep, her face numb.

She didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Fortunately, her suffering days are finally over.

Worryingly, there is no hope of having children from now on.

The queen was in a complicated mood and had been thinking wildly for a long time. Suddenly she found that the emperor had opened his eyes at some point.

"What's wrong with me?" the emperor asked coldly.

He noticed that a certain part of his body seemed to be out of control.

Seeing that the queen was silent, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the queen's wrist tightly.

The queen was in pain and looked like she couldn't bear it, but the emperor tried harder.

"Say, what's wrong with me?" The emperor's tone was almost a roar.

"Your Majesty, you can no longer be humane." The Queen simply told him the real answer.

The emperor's hand suddenly relaxed.

He couldn't believe it, why couldn't he be humane?

If this is the case, will he never have a legitimate son from now on?

No, he can.

Which concubine in the harem had a son, he would make him the queen.

In this way, the concubine's son is the legitimate son.

The queen felt that the emperor was looking at her more and more strangely, so she couldn't help but stand up and take a few steps back.

"It's all you, it's all you!" the emperor muttered absently.

He tried to sit up, but failed and fell on the couch.

"Eunuch Pang, come and serve the emperor." The queen didn't want to stay in the bedroom any longer. She called Eunuch Pang to come in and hid in the side hall.

At this time, the raging fire in Prince Yan's Mansion had just been extinguished.

Five charred corpses were pulled out of the fire scene.

When the news was reported to the palace, he was stopped.

Although they didn't know what happened to the emperor, seeing Eunuch Pang's solemn expression, no one dared to bring trouble to the emperor at this time.

When the news reached Prince Xiang's Mansion, Lin Xuezhu had already packed his bags, took Lu, Wei Hong'er and Jing Lan and was about to run away at night.

Her sense of smell is sensitive and correct.

At this time, the crazy emperor had completely abandoned his face and disguise, and planned to have her and the young prince assassinated directly.

Lin Xuezhu took his family to the Temple of Wealth in the east of the city.

There is the exit of the secret passage in the capital, and the other end connects to the outside of the city.

Father-in-law Quan is already waiting outside the city with his carriage.

Although the guards guarding the gate were strictly guarding against Lin Xuezhu's leaving the city, they would not stop Father-in-law Quan.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and they quickly left the city through the secret passage without encountering any obstacles along the way.

But they didn't know that not long after they left, several killers sneaked into Prince Xiang's Mansion, preparing to attack Lin Xuezhu and her son.

However, after the killers searched around, only the servants of the first mansion were still sleeping soundly.

The several masters' bedrooms were all empty.

When the killers returned to the palace to resume their lives, Lin Xuezhu and others had already boarded the carriage heading south.

When the emperor heard that Lin Xuezhu had run away, he was so angry that he struggled to sit up. After throwing many things, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Since then, he has been ill.

However, even when he was ill, he did not forget to let people hunt down Lin Xuezhu.

He knew that they were going south, so he sent people to hurry up and go south as well.

Lin Xuezhu and the others avoided official roads and only took small roads. The killers also expected this.

The speed of riding a horse was much faster than that of a carriage, and it didn't take long for Lin Xuezhu and his party to be overtaken.

It's a pity that no matter how powerful the killers sent by the emperor are, they are not as powerful as Yuan Xiu's secret guards.

Several killers died neatly and were buried deep in the mountains and forests.

At this point, Lin Xuezhu and his party could rest easy.

However, the most difficult problem was not that the killer appeared, but that they did not take the nanny with them when they left.

Lin Xuezhu had to breastfeed her son in person, which made her very worried.

It is said that women lose their shape after breastfeeding.

She, a woman in her early twenties, might have been considered an advanced maternal age in ancient times, but in modern times, she would have given birth at an early age.

At such a beautiful age, is your figure going to be out of shape?

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but wailed in her heart.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it, after all, the son is his biological son.

However, both Lu and Wei Hong'er showed worried expressions.

After all, after Lin Xuezhu gave birth to her child, she didn't even have to sit for a full day before embarking on a busy journey.

It is said that those who do not sit well during the confinement period will suffer from confinement syndrome. She may suffer from some problems if she is running around every day.

The most important task for the two of them every day is to ensure that Lin Xuezhu will not be blown by the wind or tired from the journey.

Fortunately, the little prince is a sensible baby. He only cries twice when he is hungry, sleepy and needs to urinate. As long as his needs are met, he falls asleep peacefully, which does not cost Lin Xuezhu too much. suspicious.

The group of people walked all the way south. The further they walked, the more they discovered the difference in vegetation between the north and the south.

Lin Xuezhu resumed his old business and began the process of digging around.

There are wild palms, mangoes, pineapples, coconuts, even passion fruit, jackfruit and so on.

These fruits were basically unknown to anyone in ancient times without breeding technology.

But in Lin Xuezhu's space, even the wildest tastes can be tamed into fragrant and sweet delicacies.

Lin Xuezhu was a tropical fruit lover in her previous life, and the same is true in this life.

She happily carried people around on her back, and she felt so happy that she almost died.

This trip from the Central Plains to the Northern Territory, then from the Northern Territory to the Central Plains, and finally from the Central Plains to the Southern Territory, she took in the characteristics of each latitude.

From now on, you will be able to enjoy fresh fruits from all over the world without leaving home. Thinking about this little life makes me feel happy!

As for Quan Gonggong and Luo Hong, they ran out together at first. After knowing that they could not take the official road, they once suspected that they would starve to death on the way.

If it weren't for their determination to defend Princess Xiang to the death, they would not have come out together.

Unexpectedly, even if she did not follow official channels and had no supplies, Princess Xiang would still have endless ideas.

Either go to the farmers' houses along the way to buy some food, or use local materials to eat whatever you see. The taste is unexpectedly varied and colorful.

The journey to escape turned out to be filled with laughter and was extremely relaxing.

This made them more certain that they were not following the wrong master.

Of course, they didn't know that the reason why they felt the journey was easy was because Lin Xuezhu gave them spiritual spring water to drink, which made their bodies stronger.

They just thought that during the long journey, their physiques had been developed.

When Luo Hong talked about this with Lin Xuezhu, Lin Xuezhu just smiled and said nothing.

Let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

Chapter 523: A Lifetime of Shadows

Lin Xuezhu and his party walked further south, and found that wherever they went, there were fewer and fewer people.

Ancient times were different from modern times. In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and it often took several months to travel from one place to another.

Therefore, once people settle in a certain place, they will never leave.

Unless there is famine, war, or forced migration.

Or merchants, students studying, and some people who don't like stability and like to travel will go out.

Therefore, the Central Plains, where the richest and most convenient resources are concentrated, has the largest population.

The north is cold, the south is hot, the east and west regions each have their own shortcomings, and the population is not comparable to that of the Central Plains.

Lin Xuezhu and his party could meet a village every two or three days at the beginning, and then only five or six days later. Until now, they have been walking for nearly half a month and have not seen a village yet.

Without supplies, everyone can only use local materials and find food on the way forward. Although there is a lot to eat, you can't do whatever you want.

Except for Quan's father-in-law and the young prince, everyone in the team is female.

Needless to say, the young prince is still a baby, the kind who cannot survive without his mother.

Although Father-in-law Quan still retains the memory of the hard times in the past, he is obviously not good at hunting and other activities.

Lin Xuezhu had no choice but to take out some things from the space from time to time and lie in ambush on the road ahead, waiting for others to eat them.

You also have to consider the local climate and environment and come up with more reasonable items.

For example, she couldn't plant wild mountain treasures from the North on the borders of the South. It would look too fake.

In this way, although the group of people had no shortage of food and drink along the way, they always felt that some aspects of their appetites were not satisfied.

Lin Xuezhu knows that this is the sequelae of vegetarianism. Everyone needs animal protein to supplement nutrition and physical strength.

In fact, it was possible to fish, but their team did not have many prime-age laborers. She felt a little tired from fighting for a bite to eat.

So I endured it and planned to go to the next village and exchange some fish and meat with the local villagers.

Her wish came true, and that afternoon they arrived at a village.

This village is not small, but very quiet.

Looking from the path outside the village, there are no walking villagers or free-range poultry and livestock.

"Princess, something doesn't look right about this place. You guys wait here while I get out of the car and take a look." Father-in-law Quan stopped the carriage and asked Lin Xuezhu for instructions.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, pulled out a big wooden stick from the carriage, and handed it to Eunuch Quan.

He said: "If you use this for self-defense, if you see a suspicious person, you would rather give him a stick first than let yourself suffer."

There is no way, there is only such an adult man in the team, many things depend on him, he is precious.

"I understand." Eunuch Quan cautiously took the stick, jumped out of the carriage, and walked towards the village while being alert to the surroundings.

Lin Xuezhu opened the water bag, took a sip of spiritual spring water, and fed her son milk again.

As soon as she finished these things, she heard a sudden scream from the direction of the village.

The voice sounded like Quan's father-in-law, but he didn't know what happened in front of him.

"Princess, please go take a look." Luo Hong said.

"Wait a minute." Lin Xuezhu held down the anxious Luo Hong, glanced to the side, and saw an unknown tree.

The tree was not as tall and smooth as ordinary tropical trees. Instead, it was covered with rugged branches.

That's it.

Lin Xuezhu jumped off the carriage, hugged the tree trunk, and climbed up.

This move made Luo Hong dumbfounded.

On the other hand, Lu and Wei Hong'er both looked normal, as if they were not surprised.

Lin Xuezhu stepped on the branch and stood up, her vision suddenly widened.

She saw almost the whole village, and also saw Grandpa Quan running away with a stick.

There was no one chasing Eunuch Quan behind him, which showed that there was no danger.

So, there is something terrible in the village.

Lin Xuezhu felt relieved, as long as there was no danger, he would slowly make up for the mental trauma in the future.

She hugged the tree trunk and slipped down, sat directly on the shaft of the carriage, and drove the carriage forward.

This move once again stunned Luo Hong.

The princess can not only climb trees, but also drive a car?

However, Lu and Wei Hong'er still looked like they were used to it.

Mrs. Lu hugged the young prince and asked Lin Xuezhu: "Xuezhu, what happened?"

Lin Xuezhu replied: "It's not a big deal. Just wait until the father-in-law comes back and ask him."

In fact, she already had the answer in her heart.

The closer we get to the coastline of the Southern Territory, I'm afraid this kind of thing will only increase rather than decrease.

It seems that the idea of ​​going to the village to buy supplies can no longer be considered in the future.

Because Lin Xuezhu drove to meet Quan's father-in-law, the two met soon.

Eunuch Quan's face turned pale. When he saw Lin Xuezhu, he felt like he was seeing a great savior.

His body, which was already exhausted, suddenly gained some strength.

He stumbled and rushed to the carriage.

Before he could steady himself, he sat down on the ground.

"What happened?" Luo Hong asked anxiously in the car.

"Death, they are all dead people." Quan's father-in-law trembled and said: "There is no living person in the village. They are all dead. The corpses have long since rotted, but..."

Before he could finish his words, he spat it out.

Lin Xuezhu waited for him to finish vomiting, then calmly added: "But the death was miserable, the death methods were different, and there were even women naked, right?"

Eunuch Quan raised his head and looked at Lin Xuezhu weakly, "How does the princess know?"

"Pirates in the Southern Region have always used this method." Lin Xuezhu gritted his teeth and finished speaking, secretly squeezing his hands in his sleeves.

Burning, killing, looting, taking pleasure in killing, and even arranging different ways of death for the civilians to be slaughtered, raping women, even old women and children, these Neon Kingdom's methods are really unprecedented since ancient times. Change.

Eunuch Quan stood up holding on to the carriage and said, "Princess, we can't fight this, so we should take a detour." "

Don't rush yet." Lin Xuezhu took out a water bag from the carriage, handed it to Eunuch Quan, and said, "You Drink some water first and calm down, I'll catch the bus."

After saying that, she took out the map and marked the village.

Now that they have limited manpower, they will have to find someone to deal with the village later.

Otherwise, this village will breed plague, and once someone walks in here, they will bring the plague out and spread it.

Father-in-law Quan drank half of the water in his water bag. The sweet water calmed his frightened mind a little.

Lin Xuezhu pointed to the carriage and said, "Sit in."

"Princess, it's better for the slave to drive the carriage. A slave can do it." Eunuch Quan insisted.

Lin Xuezhu didn't argue with him and got into the car directly.

"Let's take a detour." Lin Xuezhu tightened the car curtain.

It would be better not to let everyone see the miserable scene in the village.

Otherwise, it will really become a lifelong shadow.

Chapter 524 I had to prevent

Lin Xuezhu and a group of people from leaving the small village that was massacred and walked for more than an hour.

Father-in-law Quan's frightened heart finally calmed down a little.

"Princess, we didn't buy anything. Do you want to stop and look around?" he asked.

"Wait a little longer." Lin Xuezhu said, "I'm afraid this area is not safe. Let's go further and see if we can meet any living people and inquire about the situation." After

she finished speaking, no one had any objections.

Lu and Wei Hong'er were used to listening to Lin Xuezhu's words, so they would do whatever she said.

Eunuch Quan and Luo Hong came first because of their status as servants. Secondly, they also felt that what Lin Xuezhu said was reasonable, so they naturally had no objections.

Lin Xuezhu said, "Eunuch Quan, drive faster. We'll try to walk as much as possible before dark."

"Princess, sit still," Eunuch Quan said.

The carriage galloped, raising dust along the way.

After walking for about half an hour, the sky was gradually getting dark, but we still didn't meet a living person. Instead, we met another one in a quiet village.

This time, all the father-in-laws had experience. They knew that in such a silent village, all the people inside must be dead, so they did not step forward to check.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but frown.

It seems that the southern region is seriously infested by pirates.

The pirates' methods are cruel, and when they arrive at a village, they massacre it, which is really abominable.

The patriotic feelings in the past and present life made Lin Xuezhu clenched her fists involuntarily.

The shame of being invaded had never been so clear before, hurting her already strong heart inch by inch.

At this moment, there was a sudden violent vibration, and the sound of horses neighing came from ahead.

Lin Xuezhu hugged her son tightly in an instant, but she herself fell forward due to the effect of inertia.

When her forehead hit the car, she tried her best to protect her son.

After a series of bumps and shouts from Father-in-law Quan, the carriage finally stopped.

Wei Hong'er and Mr. Lu were both frightened. They quickly let go of the car window and helped Lin Xuezhu up.

Lin Xuezhu was much calmer than them. If it was just an ordinary trauma, just drink some spiritual spring water and it wouldn't be a big problem.

"Eunuch Quan, what happened?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

No one answered outside.

Lin Xuezhu put her son into Lu's arms, lifted the car curtain and looked out.

I saw that Quan's father-in-law was being held hostage by a man who was half a head shorter than him.

The man's appearance was different from them at first glance.

Lin Xuezhu instantly thought of pirates.

Could this person be...

"You, give me the carriage, or I will kill him." As soon as the man spoke, Lin Xuezhu immediately recognized the smell of Baga.

Haha, it turned out to be a pirate.

Lin Xuezhu's consciousness searched the space, trying to find a weapon.

This moment's pause made the pirate impatient.

He pressed the dagger against Quan's father-in-law's neck and probed forward, and Quan's father-in-law immediately saw blood.

"Don't hurt him, I'll give you the carriage." Lin Xuezhu said, and asked Mrs. Lu and Wei Hong'er to get out of the carriage with the young prince in their arms.

The moment the pirate saw the little baby, a strange light suddenly burst out in his eyes.

He looked Lin Xuezhu up and down, his expression dark and lustful.

"Get in the car, the things in the car are yours too." Lin Xuezhu pulled Lu and Wei Hong'er aside.

The pirate held the father-in-law hostage and strode towards the carriage.

When he reached the carriage, he let go of his hand, quickly turned over and sat on the carriage shaft, and raised his hand to slap the horse's butt.

The horse felt pain and ran away.

At this time, the pirate bent down and leaned forward to catch Lin Xuezhu.

"Princess!"

"Xue Zhu!"

Four voices sounded in unison, with panic.

At the same time, a dagger was inserted into the pirate's heart.

The pirate glanced at Lin Xuezhu in disbelief, then covered his bleeding wound and fell off the car's shaft.

Four screams rang out in unison, and panic turned to horror.

Lin Xuezhu pulled out the dagger, glanced disdainfully at the pirate's body, and then called everyone to get on the carriage.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away.

Lin Xuezhu's heart skipped a beat.

She could still deal with one pirate, but there was nothing she could do with a group of pirates.

Just when Lin Xuezhu was considering whether to take everyone into the space first and be the unlucky one who was unfortunately captured, she saw the man on the horse.

Prince Wenyue...

"Aunt, are you okay?" Prince Wenyue saw Lin Xuezhu, got off his horse, and ran towards her.

Lin Xuezhu replied lightly: "It's okay."

This was not the Wenyue Crown Prince with average abilities, little wings, and ambition.

Crown Prince Wenyue glanced at the others, and when he saw the younger Crown Prince, he paused for a long time.

After a long while, he asked with a complicated expression: "Who is this child?"

"We picked him up on the road. It seems that his parents were killed. I thought he was pitiful, so I took him with me." Lin Xuezhu said nonsense seriously.

The other four people: ...

I have heard of lying, but I have never heard of lying and being cursed to death.

What are you doing, spending so much money?

However, since Lin Xuezhu said this, everyone knows that she must have her reasons.

Out of trust in her, the other four people also nodded seriously when Prince Wenyue looked over.

Prince Wenyue didn't say much and asked Lin Xuezhu, "Aunt, are you here to see my little uncle?"

Lin Xuezhu was too annoyed with Mo Ji Jin, who knew what he was asking.

I really want to reply: If I don't look for my husband, should I look for you?

But on the surface, she still nodded slightly.

Prince Wenyue said: "In that case, uncle, please follow me and I will escort you to the military camp."

Lin Xuezhu glanced at him distrustfully and said, "Prince Wenyue has official duties, so I'd better go and take care of you. Well, we can go by ourselves, as long as you give us some direction."

Prince Wen Yue smiled, "My uncle sent me out to search for the remnants of the pirates, and to see if there are any survivors. It's reasonable for me to give my aunt a ride as the person I'm protecting."

Lin Xuezhu said nothing and just nodded.

Crown Prince Wenyue asked Quan Eunuch to follow him, and sent someone to report the news to Yuan Xiu, before he mounted his horse and led the way.

After she was sure that there were no outsiders around, Ms. Lu asked, "Xue Zhu, why didn't you tell him the truth?"

Lin Xuezhu said: "The pirate just lost his way and almost collided with the carriage. And after seeing us, he also rushed to rob our carriage. I speculate that there must be pursuers behind him. Now it seems that the pursuers should be Prince Wenyue "The pirates are running away on their legs, and Prince Wenyue is riding a horse, but it is unreasonable to take so long to show up."

"You mean..."

"Prince Wenyue is very ambitious, both for the emperor and for my husband. " There may be bad intentions, so I have to guard against it," Lin Xuezhu said.

Chapter 525 What's the point of living like this?

When Lin Xuezhu said that Prince Wenyue had ill intentions towards Yuan Xiu, Mrs. Lu immediately became alert.

Even Wei Hong'er couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car and glance in the direction of Prince Wenyue.

Luo Hong's heart was ringing with alarm bells, and she followed Wei Hong'er to look out of the car.

When they first met, as a servant, she kept her head down and didn't dare to look.

Now she had to take a good look at what Prince Wenyue looked like.

If he was plotting evil against her masters, she would be better prepared.

As a result, the few people in the car were watching like this, and Prince Wenyue noticed it.

He turned his head, met the eyes of these people, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mr. Lu didn't know how to answer, and Luo Hong had no position to answer.

Only Wei Hong'er smiled and said: "I have never seen a young man as handsome and handsome as the prince, and I can't help but want to take a second look. I have offended the prince, so please forgive me."

Everyone likes to hear nice words. , Crown Prince Wenyue is no exception.

Although he felt that when he just turned around, the three people in the carriage looked a little strange, he didn't think about it deeply.

Wei Honger calmly closed the car curtain, and Mrs. Lu cast an approving look at her.

Adaptable to changing circumstances, respond quickly, awesome!

Lin Xuezhu was a bit disdainful and snorted: "He believes it too!"

Everyone on the carriage had seen Yuan Xiu.

After meeting Yuan Xiu, who would say anything about being handsome and handsome to a person of Prince Wenyue's caliber?

Lin Xuezhu's three short words were understood by everyone, and they immediately showed a tacit smile.

Lin Xuezhu, on the other hand, was just complaining. Her mind was always on guard against Prince Wenyue.

Although this guy wants to rise to power, he will definitely target Yuan Xiu.

But she and Lu were both extremely important people to Yuan Xiu.

If Crown Prince Wenyue wanted to disturb Yuan Xiu's mind, attacking them would be the best choice.

Lin Xuezhu felt that Prince Wenyue would definitely take action against them, but he should be looking for a suitable time.

Lin Xuezhu calculated that Crown Prince Wenyue was ordered by the emperor to send food to Yuan Xiu and stayed on the battlefield.

What the Dog Emperor did was to throw a stick into the Pingnan Army, hoping that Prince Wenyue would stir things up.

Yuan Xiu is not stupid, so he naturally knows the dirty thoughts of the Dog Emperor.

He sent Crown Prince Wen Yue to lead people to clear out the remaining pirate forces in the rear, but he just didn't want him to interfere on the front line.

But this matter also has a long way to go, and Yuan Xiu cannot allow Prince Wenyue to escape control.

Therefore, there must be someone from Yuanxiu in the team led by Crown Prince Wenyue.

Who are these people?

Lin Xuezhu opened the car curtain and looked out.

However, Pingnan's army had a large number of people, and even though she had seen some in the northern border before, she couldn't find any familiar faces.

After Lin Xuezhu looked at it for a while, he gave up.

To be cautious, she did not immediately use the bone whistle to deliver the message.

Prince Wenyue's chicken thief might be able to detect her contact code.

What's more, Crown Prince Wenyue once ambushed his men in Yuan Xiu's secret guards.

This person's scheming level is much more powerful than that of his uncle.

She guessed that Prince Wenyue did not dare to openly attack them, but in the southern region, which was more familiar to him, it was not impossible for him to create a surprise.

Therefore, Lin Xuezhu was very afraid that when an accident happened, the hidden guards hiding in the dark would not be able to rescue him in time.

She wanted to pass the message to the secret guard while not attracting attention.

Just when Lin Xuezhu was concentrating on thinking about the problem, Prince Wen Yue's voice came from outside the car, "Aunt, can you lift the curtain and say a few words?"

Here he comes, the clingy spirit is here again.

Lin Xuezhu was extremely annoyed.

But now, she still has to deal with this vain person.

So, she opened the car curtain and asked calmly: "What does Prince Wenyue want to say?"

Prince Wenyue said: "Shouldn't my aunt be waiting for the news of my uncle's victory in the capital? Why did she run out of the capital with her people? "Really?"

As expected, this chicken thief can't stop himself.

Ever since Lin Xuezhu asked the secret guards to find out the mole hidden in the team, Crown Prince Wenyue should not have received any important news.

However, Lin Xuezhu would still drop some less important news for him to pass on from time to time, so as to avoid Prince Wen Yue becoming suspicious.

This time, Prince Wen Yue obviously did not receive the news about her escape in advance, so he asked this question.

Lin Xuezhu didn't hide anything, and said openly: "Your Majesty, you should know that the emperor invited me to the capital not to take care of me, but to serve as a hostage to protect my husband, right?"

People in the royal family and people in the court should not worry about this matter. Everyone knows it.

Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu are not stupid, so they naturally understand.

However, there are some things that you just can't see through but don't tell.

Even if everyone understands, they are pretending to be confused.

Like Lin Xuezhu, if he said it directly, he would not be able to trouble Prince Wen Yue.

He paused and said with an embarrassed expression: "My aunt is too worried, and so is my uncle..."

He couldn't find the right words, so he became even more embarrassed.

From his standpoint, whether he has ambitions for the throne is one thing, but whether he has the ability to be an enemy of the emperor is another matter.

He is not stupid enough to join Lin Xuezhu in speaking ill of the emperor.

However, he wanted to say a few nice words, but he knew that he didn't believe it, let alone Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu didn't care what he thought, and said calmly: "When my husband wins, that's when the emperor attacks me. Do you think I'm waiting for him to attack me, or am I taking advantage of the war in the Southern Territory without saying anything about it?" How about escaping when others are not prepared?"

His words made Prince Wen Yue even more speechless.

He could only say with a smile: "Auntie, you are worrying too much."

"Really?" Lin Xuezhu looked at him with a smile and sighed: "Being born in the royal family, it is not easy for Prince Wen Yue to have such innocent and pure thoughts. . I have always felt that only those who stay in a honeypot can remain innocent. It can be seen that Prince Wen Yue's life has been very smooth and worry-free for more than ten years."

Her words were sincere, but I heard that. In the ears of Prince Yue, it made him feel uncomfortable.

He has always felt that someone like his uncle, who has a sharp edge and cannot hide it even if he wants to, will certainly be hated and plotted by others, which is very unfortunate.

However, the little uncle at least lived a vigorous life once, so his life in this world was not in vain.

But like him, being a prince with no sense of existence is even more painful.

No one cares about his existence. The royal people regard him as if he is nothing, and his full revenge has nowhere to show.

Life can only be lived in one sentence, but there are no achievements that can be recalled and proud of in old age.

What's the point of such a life?

If he could, he would rather be his younger uncle. Even if he was feared by the emperor's uncle, even if his family was confiscated and exiled, at least he would be the King Xiang praised by everyone in the world.

Chapter 526: One is long and the other is short

. If Lin Xuezhu knew what Crown Prince Wenyue was thinking, he would definitely curse in secret: I'm full.

In this ancient time, for most people, having enough food and clothing was the best life.

Royal people were born with no worries about food and clothing, and enjoyed privileges that ordinary people could not enjoy for several lifetimes.

He was also being hypocritical and had to make great achievements in order to live his life in vain.

The key point is that he himself cannot make contributions. Is it because he is the son of King Qi?

He never thought about it, did he have such ability?

How many Yuan Xiu can there be in the whole world?

If everyone can be a Yuan Xiu, then why did the Dog Emperor not send others to quell the chaos when pirates in the southern region disturbed the border, but instead slapped himself in the face and activated Yuan Xiu, who had been ransacked and exiled by him?

Haha, this kind of thing has high ambitions and low ambitions, thinking that he can make achievements by going to the battlefield. Little did he know that when he went there, he also gave away his head.

If, as he thought, everyone could fight, there would be only one general in power per capita in the world, so why would Yuan Xiu have to work so hard to do it?

Isn't it uncomfortable to live his little life in the north?

Fortunately, Prince Wenyue only felt sad when he heard Lin Xuezhu say that he grew up in a honeypot.

After a while, he said: "Auntie must have made sufficient preparations to escape the capital this time, right?"

Lin Xuezhu: Come on, here comes another test.

What's the matter, wouldn't he be happy if he placed someone in Yuan Xiu's secret guard and got one less piece of information?

Lin Xuezhu said: "It's not that we made sufficient preparations, we just took advantage of some chaos happening in the capital and ran away temporarily."

Prince Wenyue suddenly became energetic, "What chaos happened in the capital? "

Once upon a time, he also wanted to be like Yuan Xiu, placing his own people in necessary places.

Unfortunately, he tried but failed.

Yuan Xiu was once a great general who protected the country. He was loved by the people and was kind to many people. Many people were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

But he is just an unknown prince, who can blame him?

That's why he wanted to go to the battlefield and follow the path of success that his uncle had taken.

Lin Xuezhu looked at Crown Prince Wenyue with great interest and asked, "Are you sure you want to know?"

Crown Prince Wenyue certainly thought that since he didn't have many resources and information, he really wanted to know what happened in the capital. .

But looking at Lin Xuezhu's expression, he felt that there was some huge pit waiting for him in her words, which made him hesitate for a moment whether to continue questioning.

Seeing his tangled look, Lin Xuezhu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, sometimes, it is easier to save one's life if one's curiosity cannot be too strong."

On the surface, these words were a warning to him not to be curious about things in the capital, but in fact they were a warning to him. Don't be curious about Yuan Xiu.

As for her unfinished words, just plant a seed of curiosity in Prince Wenyue's heart.

Prince Wenyue was curious and would find a way to find out.

Even if she found out that the emperor was inhumane, what would it have to do with her?

She wished that the scandal about the Dog Emperor would spread further and further.

Prince Wenyue smiled sarcastically and said, "In that case, I won't ask any more."

"Okay." Lin Xuezhu was not polite to him and asked, "Prince Wenyue, do you have anything else to talk about? If not, I I want to rest."

"Uncle, I have one more thing to ask," Prince Wenyue said.

Lin Xuezhu resisted the urge to roll her eyes and glanced at Prince Wenyue.

If she doesn't speak, it means she has no patience.

However, Prince Wenyue has always been very thick-skinned and did not care about her attitude at all. He only said: "How to feed the baby that my aunt picked up? I didn't hear him crying all the way. I didn't know that my aunt fed him." What kind of food can make him so quiet?"

Lin Xuezhu glanced at Prince Wenyue and said, "We made some rice in the village where we picked up the child, cooked it into thick rice soup, and fed it to the child. However, there is not much rice, so we were in a hurry and didn't look carefully. I also want to tell the prince to help solve the food problem for this child."

Prince Wenyue was stunned.

He was just asking, why does this child's livelihood still fall on him?

Lin Xuezhu said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Crown Prince." Without hesitation, he lowered the car curtain.

In the carriage, Mr. Lu looked very unhappy.

Although she didn't know that when they were in the north, Crown Prince Wenyue was testing Yuan Xiu in every possible way, as if he wanted to dig something out.

But what she said just now was enough for her to hear that the other party had bad intentions.

This was with bad intentions, and it was aimed at her nephew, nephew's wife, and grandson. It's strange that she looked so good.

Lin Xuezhu gave Lu a reassuring look, signaling that she could rest assured that she knew what was going on.

Of course Mrs. Lu knew that, not to mention the people on the carriage now, even when the family was exiled, none of them were as thoughtful as Lin Xuezhu alone.

Lin Xuezhu alone is enough to deal with Prince Wenyue.

However, she was relieved, but she couldn't help but be angry.

Looking at Crown Prince Wenyue, there is no trace of the handsomeness and handsomeness that Wei Hong'er said when flattering him. He is not even considered ordinary. He is simply a coward and unsightly.

Lin Xuezhu thought very simply. If you can have ambition, others can also have it.

You can't stop others from having ambitions, so just let everyone do what they want.

Ambition is something that must be supported by strength.

Having ambition but no strength is like adding a talisman to your life in this era.

She couldn't stop others from seeking death.

The carriage drove for about an hour, and Crown Prince Wenyue said, "Auntie, let's set up camp in front of us first. It's getting dark and the road is difficult to travel at night, so it's better to rest."

"Okay, I've been stuck on this carriage for a long time. It's convenient to get down. Prince, don't forget to make some thick rice soup for the little baby." Lin Xuezhu said, handed the little prince into Lu's arms, and jumped out of the car.

"Come here, protect Princess Xiang." Prince Wenyue immediately ordered.

Lin Xuezhu paused, looked at Prince Wenyue as if he were a fool, and asked, "I want it to be convenient for you, Princess. How dare you to watch?"

Prince Wenyue's face froze after what she said, and he could only wave his hands and give up.

Lin Xuezhu went into the forest and came back after a while, holding a handful of medicinal herbs in his hand.

"Who is your aunt?" Prince Wenyue naturally wanted to ask.

Lin Xuezhu smiled slightly, but did not show indifference this time, and said: "I hit my head, get some herbs and apply it."

These words were impeccable, even if Prince Wenyue had doubts, he couldn't say anything.

Lin Xuezhu returned to the carriage with the herbs in hand. Prince Wen Yue ordered people to prepare the meal, and at the same time, he also pretended to be convenient and went to check where Lin Xuezhu had been.

After a while, the people who were sent out came back and reported: "Your Majesty, there are traces of someone pulling out the grass. Judging from the traces, they are one long and one short. You can't tell anything. "

Chapter 527: What he lost was

one of your strengths and one of your shortcomings.

Of course Prince Wenyue and his men couldn't tell.

That's the modern punctuation mark, the exclamation mark!

Lin Xuezhu was very lucky. After uncovering the traitor, she realized that Yuan Xiu's whistleblowing code had been exposed.

Although that person has been targeted and will not get any important information.

But what if?

She couldn't risk her life or the lives of others on that eventuality.

Therefore, adhering to what Yuan Xiu told her, she didn't need to remember any passwords, but she only had to remember the passwords for help.

She invented a new distress code for herself, the exclamation point!

Be concise and concise, and maintain confidentiality.

No one but her could tell without being told.

Haha, just let Crown Prince Wenyue want to go.

Sure enough, Prince Wenyue thought for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason.

In the end, Lin Xuezhu's move can only be characterized as the traces left by removing the herbs in this area.

Prince Wen Yue racked his brains, but Lin Xuezhu was relaxed and at ease.

With teammates accompanying her, she has no worries about food and drink, and no longer has to fend for herself. Prince Wenyue is now her strongest asset.

Lin Xuezhu had no psychological burden at all about this.

She even stopped Luo Hong and Eunuch Quan from going to work.

Luo Hong and Quan's father-in-law are both human beings, so they naturally understood her intention immediately and were happy to relax.

Five adults and one child all sat around the fire and chatted.

Since Lin Xuezhu sent Jing Lan back to the north after leaving the city, she was traveling alone and should be faster than them.

After arriving in the north, Jing Lan still had things to do.

Lin Xuezhu felt that the glass products had to be transported from the north to the capital because of the long journey, so some damage would inevitably occur.

Although this loss is negligible based on the unit price of glass products, it is inconvenient after all.

She planned to ask Jing Lan to allocate some manpower and open a glaze workshop in the suburbs of Beijing.

She doesn't need too many manpower, because Liuli doesn't plan to make small profits but quick turnover.

But you must be careful when selecting people.

The capital is no better than the north, with more people and less controllable people.

When working in the capital, one must be reliable and tight-lipped.

Of course, there is no rush in this matter.

The Dog Emperor is going crazy now. Lin Xuezhu did not betray anyone in the capital when he was doing business in the capital. The Dog Emperor must know about it.

At this time, if any relevant personnel return to Beijing, they will definitely be targeted by the Dog Emperor.

Lin Xuezhu firmly believes in one truth: what is hers is always hers, and no one else can take it away.

The money she should earn, going around and around, will definitely come to her hands.

She was in no rush for this moment.

As for the flower and fruit tea business, sufficient ingredients are prepared when the spring tea fruits come down.

This is a very seasonal item that won't be replaced when it goes out of season. Their inventory is enough to sell it for a while.

Before Lin Xuezhu left, he sent someone to bring a letter to Boss Cao, explaining everything about the flower and fruit tea business.

For the sake of Concubine Zhuang, the Dog Emperor would not embarrass Concubine Zhuang's brother.

After all, the Dog Emperor is now inhumane and has no hope of having a legitimate son with the Queen. He can only choose one of the existing princes to be his successor.

Zhuang Guifei's son is one of the candidates.

Moreover, the Dog Emperor pointed to Zhuang Guifei's brother's business to fill his own small treasury.

Lin Xuezhu feels that the most terrifying person is a person who has no desires and needs, because you can't use anything to control him.

But like the Dog Emperor, who wants and wants at the same time, he doesn't improve his abilities, but instead suppresses all those who threaten him.

It's best to deal with this kind of greedy and unpopular person.

Lin Xuezhu was thinking this when she heard the officers and soldiers led by Crown Prince Wenyue say: "That maid next to Princess Xiang, please come over and help us cook something."

Lin Xuezhu's thoughts were interrupted and she looked up.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers looked so matter-of-fact and didn't speak politely, she became unhappy.

Luo Hong wanted to go over, but was also pulled by her.

Lin Xuezhu said to Crown Prince Wenyue: "What is the official position of this person under your command? Why do people who use my concubine not know how to greet me first? Where is the rule?"

When the officers and soldiers heard this, Immediately he felt a little unhappy.

Prince Wen Yue glanced at him and smiled at Lin Xuezhu: "Aunt, people who have been fighting all the time don't know the etiquette. My nephew will apologize to my aunt for him. My aunt doesn't remember the faults of villains, so let him be spared this time."

Lin Xuezhu didn't buy it, but asked: "When a subordinate makes a mistake, the commander should apologize. What's the truth? Prince Wenyue is also a person who has received an orthodox education from the royal family. Why does he ignore etiquette?"

Prince Wenyue's smile did not change. He said: "When marching outside, don't stick to small details, and put the overall situation first."

The implication is that Lin Xuezhu is struggling with etiquette at this moment, that is, ignoring the overall situation.

Of course, Lin Xuezhu heard the meaning of his words and sneered: "Prince Wenyue, you are out on the march, so you don't have to stick to trivial matters. If your subordinates directly give orders to your subordinates, whether you regard this as a trivial matter is your business. . But I am not a soldier, I am Princess Xiang, and my status is much higher than that of your subordinate. Besides, I am still a female family member. Do you and I have to be informal?"

Wen Yue immediately said this. Many of the prince's words were blocked.

Prince Wenyue couldn't help but sigh: My aunt's mouth is too eloquent.

Speechless.

So he quickly scolded the officer and soldier, "Why are you

standing there, not apologizing to your aunt!" "No need, he lost your people, just ask him to apologize to you. I am willing to make an apology that doesn't matter. "

After Lin Xuezhu finished speaking, she glanced at the officer and said, "My maid is here to serve me, not all of you. I hope you remember this."

After saying that, she pulled Luo away . Hong went off to talk and ignored Prince Wenyue and the officer and soldier again.

Crown Prince Wenyue and the officer and soldier seemed to have a lot of shit in their mouths, and they couldn't swallow it or spit it out. They were extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Xuezhu, in line with the principle of being disgusted with others and not abusing herself, did not give those two shit-eating looks at all.

Prince Wen Yue took a few deep breaths and said angrily to the officer and soldier: "Why don't you go to work!"

The officer and soldier were originally private soldiers brought out of his palace. They had been with him for many years and they thought they were superior to others, so they Others were rather unkind.

But now, with his master scolding him, he could only keep his tail between his legs and go to work obediently. He no longer dared to have ideas for Lin Xuezhu's servants.

Half an hour later, the hot rice soup was ready.

"Luo Hong, go scoop a bowl for this child." Lin Xuezhu said.

"Yes." Luo Hong took out the bowl and spoon, scooped out a bowl from the pot, and put it into the carriage.

Then, Quan's father-in-law joined him and ladled out rice soup for everyone in his team, and then evacuated from the pot.

Chapter 528 The morale of his subordinates suddenly dropped.

Lin Xuezhu's operation directly angered the officers and soldiers of Prince Wen Yue.

When Lin Xuezhu and others returned to their carriage and drank warm rice soup, an officer and soldier spat into the ground and said, "What the hell? I didn't see them when I was working, but they were quite active when I was eating."

"Shut up! "Prince Wenyue's face darkened.

His aunt had a sharp mouth and was really difficult to deal with.

For them, not only will they gain nothing by being quick-tongued, but they will also be ridiculed. Doesn't he want to lose face?

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they did not dare to say anything anymore.

Prince Wenyue looked indifferent and could not tell anything.

After being silent for a long time, he said: "My aunt is Princess Xiang. You should be more polite to her from now on."

His officers and soldiers dared not speak out in anger, so they could only swallow their anger.

During the meal, everyone found their own places and the team dispersed.

Crown Prince Wenyue called his soldiers and lowered his voice and said, "Keep an eye on me tonight, don't let him escape."

"Yes." The soldiers nodded in agreement.

The little actions of these two people happened to be seen by Quan's father-in-law.

Originally, as a coach, there is nothing wrong with saying something to the people under his command.

But Crown Prince Wenyue's subordinates, while obeying the order, glanced at the princess's carriage.

Father-in-law Quan, who had been on duty in the palace for many years, immediately noticed something unusual.

He told Lin Xuezhu about this matter.

After hearing this, Lin Xuezhu smiled slightly.

Prince Wenyue is playing tricks, won't she?

Haha, Guan Gong is using a big sword in front of him because he doesn't know how much he weighs.

At night, everyone fell asleep, except for the two soldiers of Crown Prince Wenyue who were still awake.

In name, he was standing guard, but in fact his eyes glanced at Lin Xuezhu's carriage from time to time.

Lin Xuezhu waited until everyone was asleep, then opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage lightly.

When the two soldiers saw her coming out, they immediately became wary.

Lin Xuezhu didn't even look at them, turned around and walked into the woods.

One of the soldiers immediately stood up and chased after her, "Princess, what do you want to do?"

"Change." Lin Xuezhu said, "Do you want to follow?"

The soldier obviously hesitated.

But thinking that the others were still on the carriage, Lin Xuezhu probably wouldn't leave on his own, so he felt relieved and turned back to the bonfire.

Lin Xuezhu finished relieving himself in the woods. After returning to the carriage, he removed a pinch of the drug from the space.

When the two private soldiers were not paying attention, she shook the drug into the fire.

There was a crackling sound, and a spark exploded from the firewood.

The two private soldiers only felt a little tired, their eyelids were trembling, and they didn't even know when they fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Crown Prince Wenyue woke up, stood up and took a look, and saw that Lin Xuezhu's carriage was missing.

He felt excited in his heart and instantly turned over and sat up, looking around.

No one, no carriage.

He thought of his two private soldiers and hurriedly looked towards the campfire.

I saw the two melon eggs clinging to each other, sleeping soundly.

The fire in the fire had long gone out. Prince Wen Yue stretched out his hand and found that the ashes of the firewood were cold.

Prince Wen Yue frowned and kicked those two people hard.

The two of them woke up in pain and glanced at Prince Wenyue in confusion.

Then, they realized that they had fallen asleep, and suddenly their whole bodies trembled and they knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, we were wrong, please punish us."

"Where are the people?" Crown Prince Wenyue gritted his teeth.

When the two private soldiers saw that the carriage was gone, they were frightened out of their wits.

Not to mention that the Crown Prince asked them to look at people, but they didn't, and the Crown Prince would never trust them from now on.

Just say that the dignified Princess Xiang was lost in their hands, and they couldn't bear the crime.

If King Xiang turns around and blames the Crown Prince, wouldn't he be looking for trouble for the Crown Prince?

These two private soldiers were also smart and quickly got up to find someone.

However, Lin Xuezhu left earlier than their fire was cold, and now there is no trace of him!

Crown Prince Wenyue was furious, but then he thought, it would be better if he left.

After leaving, if something happens on the way, it will not be his fault.

Prince Wen Yue quickly calmed down and said to the two private soldiers: "Go and chase the person. There is no need to keep him alive until you catch him. Do it secretly."

Upon hearing this, the two private soldiers realized that there was still room for change in the matter, so they immediately responded. , sneaking away while the people in the team were not paying attention.

Their idea is very simple. Lin Xuezhu is a weak woman, and she is surrounded by either weak women or her father-in-law. It will be easy to deal with her.

But Prince Wenyue once said that Lin Xuezhu should have people protecting her, so their actions must avoid those people.

The two discussed it and decided to come up with a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

Immediately, they took off their military uniforms, covered their faces with cloth, and then searched around for traces of the carriage.

After they left, Crown Prince Wenyue sent out several groups of people for various reasons to conduct searches.

About half an hour after the men were sent out, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from not far away.

Prince Wenyue followed the sound and saw Lin Xuezhu's carriage coming back slowly.

"Princess Xiang, you..." Prince Wenyue didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin Xuezhu said unhurriedly: "We women have not taken a bath for a long time since we set out on the road. We happened to see a stream nearby, so we drove the carriage over and took a bath. What, are we going on the road?"

Prince Wenyue After hearing these heartless words, I just felt like there was something in my head that wanted to explode.

The people who searched were sent out, but the people who were searched came back on their own. What was going on?

Lin Xuezhu looked around and asked meaningfully: "Why do I feel that there are fewer people in our team?"

Prince Wenyue felt a tightness in his chest and said with a smile: "Haha, I sent them out to perform a mission."

" Oh." Lin Xuezhu asked, "When shall we set off?"

Prince Wen Yue was helpless and could only reply, "

Eunuch Quan, let's go." Lin Xuezhu did not wait for Prince Wen Yue's reaction. I asked Quan's father-in-law to catch the car.

The carriage went ahead, and Crown Prince Wenyue had to urgently summon the team to set off.

One of his guards whispered: "Master, we haven't had breakfast yet."

Only then did Prince Wenyue realize that he had discovered that Lin Xuezhu had run away in the morning, so he quickly organized people to chase him, which led to him forgetting about breakfast. .

He raised his eyes and glanced at the back of Lin Xuezhu's carriage as it drove away. He gritted his teeth and said, "I won't have breakfast anymore. Follow me."

After saying this, he felt that the morale of his subordinates seemed to have suddenly dropped.

Living in the open for such a long time is already difficult enough. Everyone is physically exhausted every day. If they don't eat even one meal, they will feel hungry.

What's more, it's been a whole night since the last meal.

Prince Wen Yue thought for a while, then rode in pursuit of Lin Xuezhu's carriage.

Chapter 529 It turns out that this is the so-called acting skill.

"Uncle." Prince Wenyue shouted.

Lin Xuezhu opened the car curtain and looked at him coldly.

Prince Wenyue said bravely, "Auntie, would you like to stop for something to eat first?"

"I'm not hungry," Lin Xuezhu replied.

Prince Wenyue was filled with anger again.

After cooking last night, didn't the group of them eat very actively?

Why do you say you're not hungry this morning?

"Is there anything else wrong, Your Majesty?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

Prince Wenyue was speechless and could only shake his head.

Lin Xuezhu lowered the car curtain.

In the carriage, the four women looked at each other and smiled.

This morning, before dawn, Lin Xuezhu woke up Father-in-law Quan.

Father-in-law Quan drove the carriage and quietly left the camp.

I walked around outside, found some food, and filled my stomach. Then I took my time, found some supplies, returned to the carriage, and drove back slowly.

Lin Xuezhu's calculation was very accurate. Prince Wenyue sent many people out to recover her.

If when she was testing her just now, Prince Wen Yue said that he sent people out to look for her because he was afraid that she would be in danger, this might be possible.

But Crown Prince Wenyue said that he was sent on a mission, and his guilty feeling was self-evident.

Lin Xuezhu didn't want to expose him, and she didn't want to waste time with him anymore.

Now she is still walking with him, just to see what kind of methods he can use, and then decide how to deal with him.

And, there was one more thing she was curious about.

That is, does King Qi know what his son has done?

If he knew, it would not only betray Yuan Xiu's mother-concubine's love for him, but also betray Yuan Xiu's desire to let him go.

Then, there is no need to keep King Qi.

Prince Wenyue's people came back two days later.

How to put it, the state can only be described as a disgraced one.

This was nothing. When they saw Princess Xiang, whom they had been tracking for two days but had no clues, walking with the Crown Prince's team, everyone had a look of seeing a ghost on their faces.

God knows what kind of life they have been living these past two days.

Especially the two who kept watch and missed the person, in order to find the person as soon as possible and give an explanation to the prince, they searched almost non-stop for two days.

An area of ​​dozens of miles in radius has been turned upside down by them. It goes without saying how much activity they carry out every day.

However, no one was found. They were terrified all the way and returned with the determination to die.

Not to mention how much psychological pressure they endured along the way.

Now, when they look at Lin Xuezhu, their feelings are very complicated.

I feel happy, angry, and unwilling.

"Prince, what's going on?" Several private soldiers of Prince Wenyue gathered together and asked in a low voice.

Prince Wenyue was a little embarrassed to speak.

What should he say?

He said that because these women wanted to take a bath, he left the team for a while, then panicked and sent so many people out to look for them?

If he said it, would it make him look stupid?

He must never say this.

So, he could only pretend to be serious and said: "After you left, we found them."

After hearing this, a group of private soldiers were all frightened.

The Crown Prince sent them out to look for him, but they were busy for two days but couldn't find him. Instead, the Crown Prince was asked to find him personally.

Doesn't this make them look useless?

Does their path to promotion stop here?

As a result, their masters and servants had their own thoughts and worries, and they were all quite uncomfortable.

The creator of all this, Lin Xuezhu, was holding a big coconut and making a straw out of a reed pipe picked from the space, happily enjoying the sweetness and coolness of the coconut milk.

Lu, Wei Hong'er and Luo Hong each had a big coconut. Even the father-in-law who was driving the car had a coconut beside him. When he felt hot and thirsty, he picked it up and took a few sips.

Living a good life with Princess Xiang, their slaves can also eat whatever the master eats. Life can't be too wonderful.

However, Prince Wenyue and others, who had been having a hard time these days, were sweating profusely on their way in the midsummer of the Southern Region.

In comparison, it's not too sad at all.

After the team set up camp, Eunuch Quan approached Lin Xuezhu and whispered: "Princess Xiang, I see, Crown Prince Wenyue has been taking us around in one place these past few days, without any intention of going seriously. Could he be? "What should I do?"

Lin Xuezhu said calmly, "He is waiting for an opportunity."

"What opportunity?" Father Quan thought of a possibility, but he did not dare to say it.

He was just a slave. Even if his master and Prince Wenyue did not deal with each other, he would not dare to speak ill of Prince Wenyue.

Lin Xuezhu didn't answer him, but asked, "Do you want to get rid of them?"

"Of course, we have to go find Prince Xiang." Quan Gong said impartially.

Lin Xuezhu gave him a reassuring look, saying that she would find a way.

Eunuch Quan knew that his master was very resourceful, so he waited with peace of mind.

Lin Xuezhu actually had an idea in mind.

She is the person Prince Wenyue wants to deal with. Lu, Wei Hong'er, Luo Hong and Eunuch Quan are bound to be implicated by her.

Although they were in the dark, there were secret guards following them.

But how could there be so many secret guards against so many soldiers led by Crown Prince Wenyue.

If something unexpected happened during the process and someone in her team was injured, it would be more than worth the loss.

So the best way is to separate her from others.

In this way, Prince Wenyue will not embarrass the remaining people.

Her secret guard only protects her, so it's relatively easy.

So, after dinner, Lin Xuezhu told Lu and others about her plans.

Although everyone was a little worried about her going alone, they also knew that what she said made sense.

If you want everyone to reunite with Yuan Xiu safely, this may be the best way.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, everyone accepted Lin Xuezhu's arrangement.

At the end, Lin Xuezhu told everyone: "You should always remember that your acting skills must be on point. Crown Prince Wenyue is a very delicate person. If you don't act well, it will easily arouse his suspicion. Remember what I told you, Do you need to have a sense of immersion in acting? You have to think of the fake as real, so that your true feelings can be revealed."

Lin Xuezhu talked about acting.

Mr. Lu understood her out-of-the-box character and had cooperated with her many times during her exile, only smiling and saying nothing.

Wei Hong'er, Luo Hong and Quan Gonggong all listened very carefully.

At the end, Lin Xuezhu also demonstrated to everyone what it means to cry in fifteen seconds.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Luo Hong and Eunuch Quan: Princess Xiang can really cry whenever she wants!

No wonder he made all the mistresses play around in the palace.

It turns out that this is what is called acting!

Chapter 530

Lin Xuezhu, whose acting skills are outstanding, followed Prince Wenyue's team around for another day.

That evening, Lin Xuezhu proposed to take a bath in a nearby stream.

With the lesson learned last time, Crown Prince Wenyue didn't dare to make a fuss this time.

Only a few people were ordered to protect their safety from a distance.

Lin Xuezhu took Lu and others to the creek.

Prince Wenyue's people didn't dare to be rude, so they all waited in a relatively distant place with their backs on their backs.

The accident happened at this time.

Just as Lin Xuezhu and others were about to take off their clothes, several ghostly figures suddenly emerged from the grass.

Luo Hong was the first to notice something strange and screamed in surprise.

Then came Lu, Wei Hong'er, and Eunuch Quan.

Prince Wenyue's people heard the sound and quickly turned around to look.

I saw several people with strange looks rushing towards Lin Xuezhu with lewd smiles on their faces.

Lin Xuezhu was not a vegetarian, so he immediately grabbed a big stone from the stream and threw it at those people.

Lu and others also reacted, imitating others and trying to resist.

Father-in-law Quan even tried his best to stand in front of several female relatives, trying to protect them.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Those people with strange looks used strange movements to quietly approach Lin Xuezhu, and uttered some unintelligible words in their mouths.

Then, as Lu and others screamed in unison again, Lin Xuezhu was knocked unconscious and taken away.

These things happened so fast that Prince Wenyue's people had no time to react.

They were not worried about Lin Xuezhu's safety, but they were afraid that these weird people would harm their heir apparent.

Seeing that these people only captured Lin Xuezhu, they felt a little relieved.

In order to show off, they immediately ran wildly towards Lu and the others.

Lu and others were also trying their best to rush towards them.

Finally, a group of people met halfway.

Mrs. Lu hissed: "Quickly, go rescue Xuezhu, she has been kidnapped."

Wei Hong'er was so nervous that she burst into tears. She looked at the direction where Lin Xuezhu was taken away and pointed: "Over there, they are going over there. Gone."

Father-in-law Quan even tried to catch up, but ended up slipping by the stream.

Luo Hong went to help her father-in-law, feeling sad and anxious at the same time, "You tell me, can you still catch up with those people? Get up quickly and don't do things that overestimate your capabilities."

At this time, Prince Wen Yue Came over after hearing the sound.

Hearing Mrs. Lu and Wei Hong'er's cries, his eyebrows skipped a beat, his face became as dark as water, but his heart blossomed with joy.

Something happened to his aunt, and it wasn't his fault.

There are so many eyewitnesses, so the little uncle can't blame him!

"What are you still doing? Hurry up and chase!" Prince Wenyue pretended to be giving orders to his subordinates.

"Yes!" Those people were also old actors, so they chased them out pretending.

Prince Wenyue looked at Mrs. Lu who was crying bitterly, and said to Wei Hong'er: "What did you all see? Tell me as much as you can, and I'll see if I can think of a way to save my aunt."

Wei Hong'er was a little calmer than Mrs. Lu, Wen Hong'er said Yan immediately wiped his tears and said, "Those people were talking in a gibbering manner that we couldn't understand. When they saw Xuezhu, their eyes were full of lust, and they rushed towards Xuezhu. Although we resisted with all our strength, we couldn't. Didn't snatch Xuezhu back? Xuezhu...is she..."

She didn't finish her words.

But everyone understood what would happen to Lin Xuezhu if she fell into the hands of those people.

Prince Wenyue was ecstatic.

If his aunt died, his uncle would be sad, but it would not necessarily affect his judgment.

But if the aunt is humiliated and rescued, it will definitely become a thorn in the heart of the little uncle.

No man in the world can accept that his wife has lost her virginity.

Such an ending is simply much better than if my aunt died.

Prince Wenyue thought so in his heart, but still expressed concern on the surface. She

said to Wei Hong'er, "Calm down first, and then think about it again. What else did you see just now?"

Wei Hong'er shook her head, "Everything happened too fast. I only smelled a strange smell on those people. I can't tell. What's that smell? It's very unpleasant."

Prince Wenyue heard it with great interest.

When I think about my aunt's arrogant look, and when I think about her being fucked by a group of smelly men who haven't showered in an unknown amount of time...

I feel an inexplicable refreshing feeling in my heart.

He knew his men wouldn't take the pursuit seriously.

There is basically no escaping the humiliation of my aunt.

But...

Prince Wenyue suddenly noticed a question and asked, "Where is that child you picked up on the road?"

Lu and Wei Hong'er seemed to suddenly react, and both looked at Luo Hong.

"Where is the child? Didn't you hold it just now?" Wei Hong'er asked.

Luo Hong was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly came to her senses, and quickly glanced into the stream.

Nothing.

She looked at the others blankly, and said with trembling lips: "I, I didn't pay attention, could it be that it was washed away by the stream?"

Seeing her look, Prince Wenyue expected that when Lin Xuezhu was in trouble just now, everyone was Panicked.

In the panic, Luo Hong probably dropped the child unconsciously.

Since the child was so young, it was reasonable for him to be swept away by the stream.

From this point of view, the child really has nothing to do with his aunt.

Otherwise, these people would not take their children seriously.

Prince Wenyue put aside the last doubt in his heart and pretended to comfort Luo Hong, saying, "Now that something happened to our aunt, we can't care about anything else. Since the child is lost, he has no chance with us. Right now, it's more important to save our aunt first."

Luo Hong said . Hong looked remorseful, but after hearing what Crown Prince Wenyue said, he had no choice but to nod.

Prince Wen Yue added: "After hearing what happened just now, I speculated that those people should be the remnants of pirates. Those pirates were not only cruel and killed without batting an eye, they were also very lewd and evil, even young girls and old women were not spared. We will definitely We must seize the time and rescue my aunt as soon as possible, otherwise, my aunt's safety may not be guaranteed."

He said a lot of words, but they were all empty words.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu suddenly raised her eyes, glared at him angrily, and shouted: "You said you wanted to save, then you should think of a way! Now Xuezhu has been kidnapped, and you are talking in a long way here, she Can we come back? We have never encountered anything like this all the way south. You said you wanted to protect us and find Xiu'er, but you lost Xuezhu. How should I explain it to Xiu'er? ..."

After Lu finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Wei Hong'er and Luo Hong quickly caught her and helped her into the carriage.

After hearing what Lu said, Crown Prince Wenyue felt that he should pretend harder, so he quickly dispersed his men and asked them to search everywhere.

On a leafy mango tree not far away, Lin Xuezhu played with the wild mango in his hand and watched everything with relish.

I couldn't help but admire in my heart: Everyone's acting skills are really amazing.
