Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The conditions in the temple are limited, and there is no way to wash up.

Hua Manman wiped her face with a wet handkerchief, then leaned against Li Ji and fell asleep.

As the night darkened, everyone in the temple fell asleep.

Hua Manman quietly opened his eyes.

She crept up to sit up.

Li Ji woke up immediately and asked her what to do?

Hua Manman lowered his voice and said something.

"Come out."

Li Ji: "I will accompany you."

Hua Manman refuses without hesitation.

"Go to sleep, I'll go back as soon as I go."

The temple is full of people, even if everyone is asleep, it is still inconvenient.

If Hua Manman wants to go to the toilet, he has to go back to the carriage, which has a bucket of Gong.

Holding an umbrella in one hand and a lantern in the other, she quickly walked out of the Earth Temple and got into the carriage.

Once in the carriage, Hua Manman's face wrinkled.

She put the lantern aside, lifted her skirt, and took off her panties, revealing two slender and straight legs and the wound at the base of her thigh.

After riding a horse for a day today, the saddle has worn down the skin on the thigh.

She had been in excruciating pain for a long time, but because she didn't want to delay the trip, she could only bear it and not show it.

There are spare wound medicines in the carriage.

Hua Manman took out the medicine bottle, lowered her head, and carefully applied the medicine to the wound.

When the ointment touched the wound, she gasped in pain.

She gritted her teeth and finished the medicine with difficulty.

After getting dressed, Hua Manman wiped her fingers, picked up the lantern, and bent over to get out of the carriage.

But he saw Li Ji standing next to the carriage at a glance.

Hua Manman was stunned: "Why did you come out?"

Li Ji: "I'm worried about you, come out and have a look."

He handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Hua Manman, then picked her up and walked steadily towards the temple.

The two were so close that Li Ji could smell the medicine on her body.

But he didn't say anything, and hugged him tightly with both hands.

The cold wind mixed with the rain drifted over and wet the hem of his clothes.

The next morning, the team set off again.

Li Ji gave up the mountain road and ordered the team to return to the official road.

All of them dressed up as members of the Yunhe troupe. With the cover of the troupe's identity, they no longer had to deliberately hide from the government.

Hua Manman no longer has to bear the pain to ride the horse, she can continue to ride the carriage.

This is really good news for her.

Zheng Fu originally had some small thoughts in his heart, and he was always looking for opportunities to get out of Li Ji's control along the way, but every time he hadn't had time to take action, he was slapped to the ground by Li Ji.

So repeated several times.

Zheng Fu was completely frightened.

People are like this, after clearly realizing how big the gap between themselves and the other party is, they dare not mess around anymore.

Seeing that the distance to Tianjing was getting closer, Li Ji and his party also got up their spirits and took more precautions.

Today they just entered a small county town before dark, and planned to rest in the city overnight, replenish food and water, and continue their journey at dawn tomorrow.

They were exhausted along the way, and they were all very tired.

As soon as Hua Manman finished washing, she couldn't wait to get into bed, hugged Li Ji and fell asleep.

As a result, the two of them hadn't slept for long when they heard a rapid knock on the door.

Hua Manman was forced to wake up, sat up rubbing his eyes, and asked vaguely.

"Who is it?"

Zheng Fu's voice came through the door: "Boss, something is wrong, the government is here!"

As soon as these words came out, Hua Manman lost her sleepiness in an instant.

She turned to look at Li Ji and asked in a low voice.

"Could it be that the government found you?"

Li Ji frowned, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what he missed?

He got out of bed, put on his clothes, shoes and socks, walked over and opened the door.

He asked Zheng Fu outside the door.

"What did the government come to see us for?"

Zheng Fu was obviously awakened just now, he didn't have time to put on his clothes, and the shoes on his feet were put on backwards.

he said eagerly.

"I heard that there is a distinguished guest from the county town today.

The county magistrate wanted to treat the distinguished guest well, and ordered all the theater troupes in the city to perform for the distinguished guest, and whoever performed well would be rewarded heavily.

The officers and soldiers came to us just now and asked us to prepare our things quickly. We have to go to the county government to rehearse tomorrow morning. "

Hearing that it wasn't his identity that was leaked, Li Ji's brows slowly relaxed.

But he didn't let his guard down completely, and replied lightly.

"You can handle these things yourself."

Zheng Fu asked cautiously: "Aren't you going with us?"

Li Ji asked back: "Do you think I look like I can sing for people?"

When Zheng Fu remembered the momentum of the other party drawing his sword and slashing people, he quickly bent down and flattered him.

"In your capacity, how can you condescend to perform operas for others? We are fine with performing operas, and you can just wait in the inn for good news from us."

He secretly planned in his heart that when he got to the county government, he would report to the magistrate that these people were harboring fugitives.

Although Li Ji did not reveal his identity, Zheng Fu was not blind. He saw many arrest warrants along the way. With a low-key style, Zheng Fu can almost be sure that Li Ji is the fugitive who was counted with a high reward by the court!

As long as he can report Li Ji, not only can he get rid of the control of Li Ji and his group, but he can also get a thousand taels of silver.

Kill two birds with one stone, think about it is beautiful~

However, the next moment he heard Li Ji say something.

"Tomorrow, you take people to the county government to sing an opera, and your nephew Yuan Bao stays."

The smile on Zheng Fu's face froze instantly.

His daughter-in-law and child died of illness successively. Now that he is getting older, it is difficult for him to have another child.

Yuan Bao is his nephew in name, but in fact he has already regarded Yuan Bao as his own son.

In the future, he still counts on Yuan Bao to take care of him in retirement, so why is he willing to leave Yuan Bao in the inn? !

Zheng Fu was so anxious that he broke out in sweat.

"Yuan Bao also has to perform on stage, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in the inn to serve the nobles."

Li Ji said calmly.

"It turns out that Yuan Bao can also sing opera. Let him come and sing for us. Let me see how he sings. If he sings well, it's fine. If he sings badly, even if he takes him to the county government, he will only give it to you. It's shameful, it's better to leave him in the inn."

How dare Zheng Fu agree?

He knew better than anyone else that Yuan Bao was not good at singing since he was a child, he couldn't sing at all.

Besides, singing is hard work, and Zheng Fu couldn't bear to let Yuan Bao suffer from it.

If he promised to hand in Yuan Bao to sing a play now, Zheng Fu's lies would be exposed immediately.

Zheng Fu was very anxious: "To be honest, Yuan Bao's singing is pretty average. His main task is to manage things like costumes and props. Our troupe can't do without him."

Li Ji: "Aren't you the troupe leader? Can't you manage these things? If that's the case, then let Yuan Bao take the Yunhe troupe to the county government to sing operas, and you stay in the inn and wait for them to come back."
