C8 Escape

A peaceful night.

The light of dawn was very faint. After entering the house through the water chestnut window, it made his body feel slightly warm.

Mu Qianyu massaged her aching forehead.

She sat up and looked at the unfamiliar room in confusion.

What is this place?

She only remembered last night, when she came out of the Minister Mansion, she didn't think that she would be in time for the Cold Poison's attack, so she fainted in front of a house.

Could it be that the owner of the house had saved him?

"Miss, you're awake?"

Hearing the noise in the room, Yue Zhu and Yue Ying, the two girls, walked in.

"What is this place?"

Mu Qianyu's eyes turned as she examined the two girls from head to toe, full of questions.

"Miss, this is the Prince Li Palace. Yesterday, you passed out in front of the Palace.

Yue Zhu replied with a smile.

Prince Li Palace?

As he thought about it, the white figure appeared in his mind.

The indifferent, aloof, and goddess-like man.

Somehow, they had only met by chance, yet they could still remember each other so clearly.

Mu Qianyu ruthlessly shook her head. No matter what that man did, it had nothing to do with her.

"Miss, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Mu Qianyu lift up the blanket and get off the bed, Yue Zhu immediately stopped her: "The Prince has ordered, I request the young lady to stay in the palace to recuperate and let me wait upon you, the young lady must not walk around carelessly."

"Go away."

Mu Qianyu's expression turned cold, unrestrainedly pushing Yue Zhu to the side.

Unexpectedly, just as she stepped out of the room, she saw the fellow who fought with her yesterday standing in the courtyard.

They were stunned. Could it be that they had discovered his identity?

This was not a good sign.

"Where is the girl going?"

Early in the morning, Xiao Chengyi left for the palace.

Luo Jin was ordered to stand guard here, as if he was sure that she would leave on her own accord.

Mu Qianyu looked at him indifferently.

He walked over and gently said. "I'm not going there, but I heard that it was the Prince Li who saved me, so I wanted to meet the Prince and personally express my thanks."

"The prince isn't in the mansion, you just have to wait here first."

Luo Jin looked at her suspiciously.

He had a strange feeling in his heart. The girl in front of him gave off a very complicated feeling. She had a clear and cold temperament to her, and even carried a few strands of murderous intent.

However, her every move and gesture seemed like that of an ordinary weak girl.

It was his first time seeing such a strange woman.

"What's that?"

The smile on Mu Qianyu's lips suddenly stopped, and surprise filled her eyes.

Luo Jin anxiously turned his head.

However, he didn't expect that Mu Qianyu would suddenly attack him at this moment.

The index finger of his right hand quickly pointed at his back.

Feeling the killing intent coming from his back, Luo Jin quickly moved sideways to grab it.

He then turned around, and the sword at his waist was already in his hand.

However, he didn't expect to see a mass of fog appear in front of him the moment he turned around.

After the ball of fog dissipated, Mu Qianyu's figure no longer existed in front of him.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, Luo Jin cursed softly and immediately leaped up, chasing after Mu Qianyu.

"Aiyo, what are you doing!"

Just as Luo Jin caught up to the street, he met a person. It was the little beggar from yesterday.

With a pouting expression, he fiercely scolded him, "You don't have eyes, ah. I'm so hungry that I'm almost dizzy, and you still dare to hit me. I don't care if you hit me, but I want compensation. Buy me two buns to eat."

"Scram."

Luo Jin was busy chasing after her, but she blocked him. Unhappily, he reached out his hand to push her away.

Before her hands could even touch her, she fell to the ground with a thud. The broken bowl in her hand also shattered into pieces.

"Help! I killed him! Help!"

The little beggar was sitting on the ground, shouting with his heart in his mouth and his lungs in his mouth. He instantly attracted the attention of a large crowd of onlookers.

"You!"

Luo Jin was immediately furious, he was almost unable to say a word.

How could she have known that she would continue pestering Luo Jin and not let him go?

Luo Jin had no choice but to toss her a silver ingot and continue chasing after her.

Mu Qianyu took the silver ingot and looked at it, then smiled and placed it in her pocket.

She stood up and brushed off the dust on her body. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she smelled the fragrant scent of a bun.

He was a bit surprised and didn't know how to react.

He heard a gentle voice say, "Are you hungry?"

With a slight raise of his eyes, he saw a blue-clothed young master. He had a gentle temperament, a handsome face, and a faint smile, just like the warm March sun.

He held an oilskin package in his hand. Inside the oilpaper bag were three steaming hot buns that seemed to have just come out of the oven.

"For, for me?"

For a moment, Mu Qianyu was actually a little confused.

With his ugly appearance, tattered clothes, and exaggerated actions, he would actually meet a good person, and a very handsome man at that.

"Yes."

Nangong Lin's smile was warm, his expression like a warm sun, instantly warming the hearts of others.

"Thank you."

For some reason, this was the first time he had sincerely thanked someone.

Nangong Lin did not speak anymore, and only nodded while smiling. He turned around and left, as if he was just a kind passerby.

Mu Qianyu stared blankly at his retreating back, and suddenly felt a sense of warmth, and immediately exclaimed in her heart, How long has it been since anyone has cared about me like this?
