C24 Nineteen

Xia Yue was about to say something when she was interrupted by Mu Qianxue, "Nineteen Miss only messed up for a moment because she was concerned about Prince. Xia Yue was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Qianxue," Nineteen Miss was also worried about Prince, so she misspoke for a moment.

Dongfang looked at her for a moment before saying, "Since the princess is pleading on her behalf, then we'll do as you say."

As she supported Mu Qianxue into the fire, Xia Yue muttered to herself, "Princess, why did you help her plead for mercy? If this servant were to say so, then I should say that the prince ruthlessly reprimanded her. She has given us quite a lot of face along the way."

"Nineteen is the prince's man. If you let the prince scold her, wouldn't it make things difficult for him?"

Xia Yue's lips twitched as she said, "But she really is very annoying. I don't know why the Prince would bring a maid to Xi Chu for no reason, and he doesn't find it troublesome either."

"Your Highness has his reasons for doing so." Mu Qianxue glanced through the cracks of the kitchen curtain at Nineteen who was busy working inside. "You, on the other hand, need to avoid arguing with Nineteen from now on."

Xia Yue said with grievance, "It was clearly her fault first every time. Why is the princess blaming this servant instead?"

Mu Qianxue caressed her hair that was rough from running around for so many days. "This is for your own good."

Xia Yue didn't know, but she was very clear that the maid who appeared to be Dongfang Shou was actually someone from the Destiny Camp. Otherwise, Dongfang Shou wouldn't have brought her with him.

The people of the God Arena were isolated from the outside world. In their minds, there was no distinction between right and wrong. Besides their master, anyone else could be killed, including their companions.

Once the nineteenth was provoked, Xia Yue would be in danger.

"For me?" Xia Yue blinked her clear black and white eyes, which were filled with confusion.

"Don't ask too much. Just remember what I said." Seeing that Mu Qianxue was unwilling to say more, Xia Yue could only nod her head in agreement as she pondered on what she had to say.

The fish soup was quickly stewed. Nineteen scooped a bowl of snow-white fish soup and gave it to Dongfang Shou. The latter shook her head and said, "Give it to the princess first."

"Yes." Although she was unwilling, she still did as she said and arrived in front of Mu Qianxue. "I don't know if any of these things are suitable for the princess' appetite."

Mu Qianxue took the bowl and said with a chuckle, "Nineteenth Miss is well versed in culinary arts. This fish soup is sure to be very delicious, how could it not be palatable?"

Nineteen eyes flashed. "All this way, I've never cooked anything. How does the princess know that my cooking skills are very good?" All this time, she had only called herself "servant" in front of Dongfang Shou.

Mu Qianxue took a sip of the thick, snow-white fish soup and warmly said, "An expert will know whether he has made a move. From the movements of Lady Nineteen, one can tell that he is someone who is proficient in the art of cooking. "It's delicious."

"Since the princess likes it, drink more." After saying this, Nineteen went back into the kitchen and filled a bowl for Dongfang Nian.

It had rained for an entire night. Silver snakes had been dancing in the night sky, creating thunderous booms that were not scary at all. It was fortunate that there was a place that could shelter them from the wind and rain; otherwise, not to mention the weak Mu Qianxue, even Xia Yue and Jiang Yue would probably be cold and sick from the night's rain.

In the middle of the night, Nineteen, who was curled up at Dongfang Zi's feet, opened her eyes in the darkness. She silently stared at Mu Qianxue, who was sleeping on the other side with Xia Yue.

After a long while, Nineteen retracted her gaze and was about to lower her long eyelashes when she felt a chill down his spine. Someone was watching her.

For those like them who had been trained in the God's opportunity camp since they were young, besides having mastered all kinds of martial arts, their six senses were even sharper than that of ordinary people.

Who is it? Could it be that Mu Qianxue had discovered him?

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked towards Mu Qianxue without leaving a trace. Borrowing the flickering silver light from the snake, she was able to clearly see that the latter and Xia Yue were fast asleep without any traces of opening their eyes.

Who could it be?

It was impossible for the princes to be together with fifteen. If that was the case, then only one person remained ?

When he woke up in the morning, the rain had stopped. It was after the rain on this mountain road that the mud was difficult to travel and the speed was more than two times slower than in the previous two days. Fortunately, he was close to the Qi Kingdom's border.

They continued on like this for another two days before they finally walked out of the forest at noon of the third day and arrived at the place where the two countries met.

Originally, over a decade had passed, the border between the West Chu and the Qi Kingdom had been peaceful and uneventful, never having caused a war, allowing the citizens to live and work in peace, reproducing and reproducing. Now, it had expanded to more than two hundred households, and from time to time, it could be seen that the axman who carried the firewood, as well as some farmers who had just returned from the fields.

Mu Qianxue's looks were simply too outstanding. Once she was exposed to the masses, it would easily cause a sensation in this small village. That was why she had covered her face with a light veil before leaving the desolate mountain forest.

19 took some crushed silver and exchanged it for some steamed buns from a family. As they were sharing the food, a middle-aged man walked past them quickly. Not long after, he was stopped by a woodcutter who had just walked down from the mountain.

"I heard that the village chief has caught a group of criminals. I plan to go and take a look."

"Prisoners? "What, did someone in our village commit a crime?"

Brother Niu said mysteriously, "This has nothing to do with our village. I heard that more than a dozen criminals have been arrested from the south."

"South?" The woodcutter frowned, "Could it be Nan Zhao?"

"That's right, I heard that they are actually members of the royal family of the Southern Wasteland, although they were previously able to escape death because they were not in the capital, they were caught, and when the soldiers escorted them past our village, they cheated us, and planned to escape into the Qi Kingdom, but unfortunately, the village head is familiar with our village and has helped us catch them before they could escape into the Qi Kingdom. Hehe, this capture of the prisoners has done a great service, if Your Majesty is happy, he might reward our village, and then we'll be rich."

"It really is possible." The woodcutter replied with a smile, "Then again, His Majesty has no reason. Why did he want to destroy South Zhao? Our empress is still the princess of South Zhao. What will happen to the empress once South Zhao is destroyed?" This place was far from Ying Tian and the news of Mu Qianxue being wanted had yet to spread to this place.

Brother Niu scratched his head, "Who knows? It's not our place to worry about such things." After saying that, he urged, "Are you going or not? If not, then I'm leaving."

"Of course. I've lived for more than 30 years, but I've never seen anyone from South Zhao. No matter what, I have to broaden my horizons. Let's go!" What the two men didn't know was that their 'Empress' wasn't far behind them.
