Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Xiaoman and Shuangjiang have been isolated for too long, and they have little idea of ​​what is happening outside during these days.

While they were waiting for their young lady, Xiaoman went out to buy something to eat. While walking on the road, he heard words such as "the gods appeared", "the crane master" and "the palace changed" from the people of Southern Xia, as if he was listening to heavenly scriptures.

Facing their master, the two did not ask too many questions and only mentioned how they were rescued.

Shuangjiang was careful and said hesitantly, "Speaking of which, we both were not very clear-headed at the time. When we woke up, we saw a note stuffed through the crack in the door. The handwriting on the note looked familiar."

"I know who the person who saved you is, but it's not convenient for him to show up now, so you don't have to think too much about it," Shen Huaixu said.

Grain Full and Frost Descent responded in unison.

There is a small open space not far from the imprisonment of Grain Full and Frost Descent. Beside it is a tree of Albizia Julibrissin. Its numerous leaves flutter in the wind, and many branches and leaves are scattered on the ground as if they had been destroyed.

The land under the tree seemed to be dyed dark brown by something, and you could smell a strong fishy odor when you passed by.

Frost found something wrong at a glance. She couldn't help but frown and said, "A lot of people must have died here."

She and Xiaoman looked at each other, shock revealed in their eyes. They could feel that something unusual happened last night, but they didn't expect it to be so tragic.

Shen Huaixu only glanced at the two of them and said nothing more.

After making arrangements for Shuangjiang and Xiaoman, Shen Huaixu saw that it was still early, so he went to buy some things that might be used in the palace.

On the way back to the palace, when she passed by the Princess's Mansion, she found that the street outside the mansion was crowded with people, and the people stopped and looked on.

She asked the little girl who was about eight or nine years old who was closest to her, "Kids, what are you looking at here?"

There were several companions beside the girl who were chatting lively when they were interrupted by Shen Huaixu, who all looked at her.

"You don't know this?" The little girl covered her mouth mysteriously and said, "The eldest princess suddenly went crazy last night. I heard that she took out a weird thing and held it tightly, running wildly on the street. As she was running, the thing suddenly exploded and she was hit directly. This is not a correct medical diagnosis. Many people say that she will not survive!"

As soon as Shen Huaixu heard this, he knew that what Qiao Man was holding must be a glowstone, and it was considered his own fault.

However, she has always been curious about how Qiao Man found the fluorite mine. According to her understanding, the conditions for the formation of fluorite are very harsh, otherwise there would be no records in this world.

I always feel that Qiao Man has a lot of good things here, Shen Huaixu thought.

"Sister, you asked and I answered, it's not too much to give me a penny, right?" Seeing Shen Huaixu standing there without saying anything, the little girl smiled and stretched out her hand.

Her movements were extremely natural, and it was obvious that she had had many similar experiences before.

Shen Huaixu saw that although she was dressed in linen and patched, she was clean and tidy, so he said, "Would you choose between a copper plate and a sugar painting?"

While shopping, she saw that the old man had good craftsmanship. After looking at it for a while, she bought one and put it in her space.

The little girl's eyes lit up and she said without thinking, "Sugar paintings!"

She looked at Shen Huaixu suspiciously and pointed to her hand, "But you don't have anything in your hand."

You can't put sugar paintings on your body, right?

"I can conjure it up for you." Shen Huaixu was in a good mood to tease the child. He imitated the magician on TV and made two gestures, and soon a koi sugar painting appeared on his hand.

She held the bamboo stick and handed it to the little girl with round eyes, "Here."

"Okay - so awesome!" The little girl took the koi and was very happy. "Sister, are you also a god?"

Shen Huaixu shook his head, "I am not a god. Where are the gods in the world? Have you ever seen one?"

The children nearby had already been craving for the aroma of maltose, and they all rushed to say, "I've seen it, I've seen it!"

"Many people have seen it!"

"The fairy can fly in the sky, and has a pair of white wings - how amazing!"

……

Shen Huaixu thought thoughtfully, "So our Nanxia Kingdom is blessed by gods? Then why is our eldest princess crazy at this time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people suddenly fell silent, and many adults came closer and raised their ears to listen.

The little girl holding the sugar painting asked in a daze, "Did the princess do something bad to not be blessed by the gods?"

Shen Huaixu shook his head, looking thoughtful, "Who knows? I heard that the eldest princess was a very quiet and kind-hearted girl when she was still in the Royal Villa. She had a serious illness two years ago. After recovering from the illness, she sometimes It’s like she’s changed into a different person... In this situation, it makes sense to say that she was possessed by something sneaky..."

As she spoke, she seemed to have just realized where she was standing. Seeing more and more people gathering in front of her, she waved her hands in panic and said, "These are just my guesses. Don't take them seriously. I'll take my leave now."

With that said, she slipped into the crowd and disappeared.

At this time, a group of guards walked out of the Princess's Mansion and began to drive away everyone with expressionless faces.

"You are not allowed to stop or linger in front of the Princess's mansion. We will deal with those who violate the rules!"

Some people were unable to avoid it and were kicked, rolling on the ground for several times, and they sat on the ground and couldn't get up.

Shen Huaixu had already escaped from the crowd with his strong posture, and was currently lying on the corner of the wall with only one pair of eyes looking at the crowd.

The person who was kicked was a man, with a plump figure and a simple and honest appearance, but he could not stand being bullied. He panted for a while and started to throw a tantrum, "Ouch! Ouch! My leg!"

After shouting like this for a while, a guard drew a knife and put it on his not-so-obvious neck. The guard said nothing, just looked at him.

The man shrank back and lowered his voice, "Master Jun, the grass people, the grass people couldn't bear the pain, and they screamed a few times. They didn't mean to disturb Her Royal Highness, the grass people, get out of here, get out of here!"

He said some cowardly and soft words, but he was cursing in his heart. Thinking about what the little girl said just now, he thought she was just a charlatan, but now he changed his mind.

If the eldest princess was really as beautiful as a fairy and had a kind heart, how could she have such a rude and barbaric guard? He secretly made up his mind that in order to live up to the eldest princess's appearance, he would spend money to confirm this guess!

Shen Huaixu, who reluctantly became a magic stick, took one last look at the eldest princess's mansion, thinking that he would come back again at night, so he left in a hurry.

Although she had not had a few contacts with Qiao Man, she could learn from Fuyin's words that the eldest princess this time was not one body and two souls, which meant that the original eldest princess was dead.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. You can't take the blame for someone's death and put all the sins on the dead. Isn't that immoral?

It would be fine if Qiao Man died this time, but it would be miserable if she didn't die. What awaited her would be worse than death.
