C20 Escape

Mu Yunqing turned around and looked at the sleeping person on the bed subtly. He pulled Ye Yue to the corner outside the door and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The First Prince is also investigating the Thousand Beauty House. You should avoid him as much as possible."

It was not the time to expose them.

"I know, but why did the emperor strip you of your title? Even the position of general was withdrawn for you?" Ye Yue was a bit confused when he heard the recent rumours.

And now, the Young Master wanted him to steal the First Prince's target of investigation. Wasn't this intentionally going against the First Prince?

When he thought about Lee Sheng's vengeful personality and his ruthless methods, Ye Yue still had some reservations towards him.

"Your majesty, didn't you just come to fear that our Mu Family's prestige would be too great, and seize the opportunity?" Mu Yunqing scoffed and said without a care.

Mu Yunqing had seen through the dirty thoughts of these people, but he had no choice but to get entangled with them.

This time, the Emperor had stripped him of all official positions, so he was happy and relaxed. Fighting with the people in the court for wisdom and courage while also taking care of the Emperor's face was too tiring.

He didn't want to do it anymore!

"Your majesty was also given to him by his pillow …" Ye Yue was about to continue speaking, but he noticed that Mu Yunqing was obviously distracted. He glanced at the room from time to time and changed the topic, "I suddenly remember that I have a competition with Ye Ye Ye, so I will be leaving first."

As Ye Yue spoke, he left. Mu Yunqing didn't see Ye Yue off but went straight back to his room.

He tried his best to walk towards the bed with light footsteps. When he saw Zhuxie Yulin's expression, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Who?" Noticing someone's breathing and that undisguised gaze towards her, Zhuxie Yulin looked vigilantly towards where Mu Yunqing was hiding.

Mu Yunqing didn't expect him to be so careful, but he was still discovered. He thought that Zhuxie Yulin was purposely testing him, purposely hiding behind the canopy, not wanting to show herself.

The next moment, a silver needle suddenly pierced through the air. Mu Yunqing avoided it dangerously and then walked in front of Zhuxie Yulin. "How did you find me?"

"Heh, no one can see his undisguised gaze unless they are dead." Zhuxie Yulin snickered. She didn't want to look at Mu Yunqing.

This time, Mu Yunqing's distrust towards her had already made her extremely disappointed. Her heart, which had been slightly opened, closed once again.

"Yulin, I was wrong about you." Forcing Zhuxie Yulin's face to face with him, Mu Yunqing made a deep confession.

Embarrassed by his own identity, the first person he suspected was Zhuxie Yulin. He didn't even give her a chance to refute his words.

In the end, he heard that she was in prison and that she was only going to argue with her father before leaving it to chance.

Thinking about what he did before, Mu Yunqing felt a sense of shame.

"Wrong monster?" Did you listen to my explanation at that time? " Zhuxie Yulin suddenly shook her head, struggling to get away from Mu Yunqing's hand that was pinching her chin, and asked aggressively.

Before Mu Yunqing could reply, Zhuxie Yulin spat out even more angry words, "These injuries on my body, and also a part of your credit."

She tore off the bandage on her body without caring about anything else, causing countless wounds of different sizes to appear in front of Mu Yunqing.

"All these, what happened just now …"

"Hehe, just now? "I'm afraid I was covered in blood just now to cover up the wounds on my body." Zhuxie Yulin snickered and let Mu Yunqing's callous hand glide across her body. She secretly noticed the change in Mu Yunqing's expression.

Mu Yunqing's finger scratched the ugly scars on his creamy skin, causing the guilt and pain in his heart to increase even more.

So it turned out that these scars were all because of him?

Before she was imprisoned, my palm had injured her internal organs, and she had suffered so much in prison.

So it turned out that all of this had its own merits?

Due to the concern in his heart, Mu Yunqing began to get lost.

Zhuxie Yulin stared at Mu Yunqing, silently waiting for him to give her an explanation. However, she only saw him standing on the spot with no intention of trying to comfort her.

After all, he was the first person she had met who had been together for such a long time … She didn't want to give up.

"Yulin, wait until you recover from your injuries before …" This was the first time Mu Yunqing spoke to someone in such a humble tone.

"Wait for me to recover?" Doubt filled Zhuxie Yulin's eyes.

Perhaps, while she was recuperating here, there would be an accident and she would be killed!

Moreover, she wouldn't be able to deal with Mu Yunqing even if she looked at him from head to toe.

She didn't want to see what happened that day in the dungeon again.

"You …"

"Young Master, there's a letter for you." Just as Mu Yunqing was about to speak, a report suddenly came in.

Mu Yunqing had no choice but to give up trying to explain. He walked towards the door, "I will make those people who hurt you in the dungeon return all of them to you."

Return it to me? Heh heh, that was easy to say. However … I don't want to rely on others anymore. I will let them experience the feeling of being whipped.

"Hiss …" He accidentally pulled on a wound on his body. Lowering his head, he saw bright red blood flowing out from the torn part of the wound.

I can't stay here any longer. I need to establish my own power as soon as possible.

At the same time, Mu Yunqing fell into deep thought while holding the letter in his hand.

"Ye'e, if she does something beyond my tolerance, I'll kill her myself."

A few days later, the moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery light on a tree. The shadows of the pedestrians on the road were especially bewitching.

The injuries on Zhuxie Yulin's body had mostly healed. She rose and fell on the eaves of State Garrison Duke's house. After a few leaps, she had already left State Garrison Duke's house.

Zhuxie Yulin turned her head to look at the mansion that she had stayed in for a while and gave up the last bit of nostalgia. Without turning back, she continued to rush towards the predetermined direction.

"Young master, are we just going to let her go like this?" Housekeeper Qin stood by Mu Yunqing's side, staring at the gradually disappearing shadow.

Mu Yunqing's eyes darkened and he remained silent until the black shadow completely disappeared. Then he retracted his gaze and said, "Right now, it's not peaceful at all. It's a good thing that she left."

Yulin, who left alone, was still secretly rejoicing at her progress. Even the guards of State Garrison Duke's residence did not notice her.

"Then, the next step is to find my little maid." Thinking back to that little beauty who had saved him in the prison, all the negative emotions Zhuxie Yulin had had vanished into thin air.

Beautiful people would always enjoy the sight of beauties.

Inside the mansion next to Splendid Building, Huntuo Xueying received a letter from her subordinate, a smile appearing on her lips.

My dear young miss, you are finally coming. This servant has been waiting here for a long time.

Recalling the scent on the lady's body, I can't hold it in any longer. Huntuo Xueying licks her lips, her face filled with the excitement of a hunter anticipating the arrival of his prey.

Zhuxie Yulin, who was rushing over, didn't even know that someone had already set their sights on her.

Unable to find anything else, Zhuxie Yulin could only pull a middle-aged man beside her and asked: "Do you know where Splendid Building is?"

"Splendid Building?" The old man looked Zhuxie Yulin up and down, suspiciously looking at her, then pointed in a direction: "It's over there." Afterwards, he didn't rush to leave. He dodged Zhuxie Yulin like she was a plague.

"Tsk, isn't it just a brothel? What kind of culture do these people have?" Suddenly realizing that she was going to a brothel, Zhuxie Yulin looked down at the old man's back with disdain.

Since you know the location of the Splendid Building, I don't believe that you didn't go there and pretend to be innocent.

People these days are really hypocritical. It's better to stay in the army.

Ye Zichen directly said when he was pissed. There wasn't much of a twist in his words.

After knowing the location, Zhuxie Yulin continued to rush forward. At the same time, scenes from the modern era flashed past her mind.

"Miss, there's someone looking for us outside the door." Under Huntuo Xueying's anticipating gaze, Zhuxie Yulin finally arrived.

Huntuo Xueying waved her hand and waved away her maidservant. The aura surrounding Huntuo Xueying's body instantly became pure and good. Her goose-yellow dress reflected her ignorance of the world.

"Miss, why did you come here today? Xueying has been waiting for you for a long time." Tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged Zhuxie Yulin's slender body. Huntuo Xueying buried her head in Zhuxie Yulin's embrace, confiding her unease and anxiety.

"It's just that some things have delayed me a little." Pulling away Huntuo Xueying's body which was lying on top of her, Zhuxie Yulin walked into the room somewhat eagerly. "What you said about me last time …"

As soon as Zhuxie Yulin said it, Huntuo Xueying understood her meaning, "Miss, you are a princess of the Chuyue Tribe, and accidentally blended in with the enemy's team because you were fond of fun. Later on, because there were too many refugees, the two of us were separated."

Zhuxie Yulin lamented in her heart that her original body had lost its life just like that.

However, Zhuxie Yulin's expressionless face made Huntuo Xueying feel as if she was doubting her words. She immediately added, "Afterwards, this servant was taken away by someone. When I wake up …"

Huntuo Xueying's face was filled with pain. When Zhuxie Yulin saw her reaction, she immediately stopped her, "It's fine. You don't need to explain yourself so clearly. I believe you."

In a place that Zhuxie Yulin hadn't noticed, Huntuo Xueying had a bloodthirsty smile on her face.

"Thank you, Miss." Did he finally gain the trust of this person? However, he felt that this person was a bit different, but … And it was even more interesting.

It seemed that the original body of the maid was still loyal to him. However … If you're not my man, how could I trust you so easily?

In the army, there would often be people who would fight against you for a few small benefits, not to mention this world full of struggles. In ancient times, women were experts at manipulating power and scheming. I had to be careful.

Beautiful women, in particular, might be more ambitious. I'll keep this Huntuo Xueying by my side for a while.

With a plan in her mind, Zhuxie Yulin went ahead and ordered her maidservants, "Xueying, I'm thirsty."

"Miss, water." A teacup of moderate temperature appeared at Zhuxie Yulin's side.

After flipping through a few pages of the book, she suddenly felt a bit hungry. Zhuxie Yulin called out again, "Xueying, dessert."

Not long after, Xueying placed the snacks next to Zhuxie Yulin and stood respectfully to one side, waiting for Zhuxie Yulin's next instruction.

Casually taking out a piece of pastry from the plate, he placed it into his mouth and tasted it. With a satisfied expression, he said, "Not bad, where did you buy this pastry? Go and buy some more."

"Yes." Huntuo Xueying replied without any temper as she made a mental note.

After a few days of such simple and luxurious life, Zhuxie Yulin suddenly realized that the things Xueying prepared for her were getting worse and worse. When she bought the things, she no longer had the same hesitation as before.

After leaving the jade shop, Zhuxie Yulin stopped Huntuo Xueying and seriously asked, "Sofia, has something happened at home recently?"

Sighing angrily, Huntuo Xueying stammered as she spoke the truth. "Miss, we've already used up all our silver taels, so …"
