princess teasing concubine

Although the fragments in the wound were taken out, Mu Jin was horrified by the cuts on Shangguan Yue's arm, and the blood soaked the entire sleeve.

Mu Jin tore off the cuffs of her inner jacket and bandaged it for Shangguan Yue. She pressed her lips tightly, "Doesn't it hurt you?"

"How can it not hurt." Shangguan Yue chuckled lightly, "But looking at your worried look, if I make a sound of pain, wouldn't Jin'er be so heartbroken?"

Heh, he can still talk poorly after being injured.

Mu Jin tightened slightly, and Shangguan Yue snorted, "It seems that Jin'er really doesn't care about me."

"Huh!" Ke Muliang shook his body, "You two are really not ashamed at all, I am convinced, Mu Jin, I don't think I can help you."

Shangguan Yue looked sideways, "What's the matter?"

Mu Jin quickly interjected, "It's nothing, we'd better get out of here, if the assassin comes after us again, it's really hard for you alone to protect us."

Shangguan Yue's scrutinizing gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, which made Mu Jin very uncomfortable. She vaguely felt Shangguan Yue's change, so she asked Ke Muliang to act. Who knew Ke Xiaomei was so useless.

Shangguan Yue moved her right hand to make sure that no bones were injured, but Mu Jin grabbed her wrist tightly and scolded: "Don't move around."

Shangguan Yue pursed her lips, "Okay."

Ke Muliang's eyes were full of contempt, she curled her lips and said, "Can I go, you two?"

Mu Jin let go of his hand, "Let's go."

There was a smile on Shangguan Yue's white face all the time, obviously in a good mood, it seemed that even the injury from this chase became insignificant.

The better Shangguan Yue is, the more Mu Jin hesitates, the more he wants to be selfish.Mu Jin said irritably, "Don't laugh."

Shangguan Yue put away her smile, "Okay."

The three of them walked to the ancient city on foot. In just two days, dozens of people died in this forest. It seemed that the forest had become gloomy and chilling, showing the cruelty of ancient people's survival.

Mu Jin looked around. There were dense jungles everywhere, and it was easy to hide. She was afraid that the assassins would come after us, "Do you think there will be assassins coming to chase us?"

Shangguan Yue shook his head, "If the master escapes successfully, they will not come after him. One is because they are afraid of reinforcements, and the other is that peace talks are imminent. They are afraid of failure."

"Since there are peace talks, they dare to shoot the assassins. They are bold enough. Are they not afraid that the Holy One will be angry and destroy the Nanman in a fit of anger?" Mu Jin curled his lips.

Ke Muliang turned back and said: "It's not so easy to destroy a country, and there are threats from northern shepherds in He country, as long as the Holy Majesty has no evidence to prove that the southern barbarians did it, he can only swallow his anger."

"It's not easy for the emperor." Mu Jin sighed.

Shangguan Yue's cold eyes were stained with confusion, "Indeed, even if he did something wrong and hurt others, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Heguo."

Mu Jin noticed that Shangguan Yue was in a trance, "What's wrong with you?"

Shangguan Yue shook her head, "It's okay, I just thought of my mother and concubine whom I have never met."

Ke Muliang heard the words, "I also heard that your mother died in childbirth. It seems that your grandfather's family was wiped out by the enemy that day. Is this true?"

Shangguan Yue was silent for a moment, she laughed at herself, "So what, it's just a victim of other people's interests."

Mu Jin heard the deep meaning in it, Shangguan Yue's grandfather's family should have all become victims of someone's interests, and this person may be the current Holy One.

Mu Jin: "Don't you hate it?"

"So what about hate?"

Also, if my guess is true, then Shangguan Yue is indeed a bit embarrassed, and I don't know how she has grown up these years.

Mu Jin couldn't get to the bottom of it, so she tried to change the subject, "Well, how far is it from here to Ancient Dao City, I'm tired from walking."

Shangguan Yue looked sideways, "There is still some distance to go, if Jin'er can't walk, how about letting me carry you?"

"You are injured now, if you want to carry me, brother Ke will carry me." Mu Jin groaned.

Ke Muliang: "Are you sorry?"

"It's very kind."

At this time, not far from the forest, a group of hundreds of officers and soldiers was walking quickly, and the leader of the general dismounted, "Congratulations to Princess Hexu, the rescue is late, and I hope the princess will forgive me."

Ke Muliang: "It seems that His Majesty is safe."

Shangguan Yue didn't say much, "Go back to the city."

"Yes."

Shangguan Yue got on the horse gracefully, and she stretched out her hand to Mu Jin, "Jin'er, come up."

Mu Jin slightly hesitated, her own horse was not good at riding, she looked at Ke Muliang, who would have thought that this guy rode away first on his own.

Helpless, Mu Jin had no choice but to ride on Shangguan Yue's horse. He wanted to sit in the back, but was pulled forward by Shangguan Yue and hugged tightly.

Mu Jin forcibly calmed down, ignoring the soft embrace.

Shangguan Yue chuckled, "Drive!"

Gudao City is the junction of the southern border and the Nanman. Naturally, this place will be affected by the flames of war. Logically speaking, the people here should be very miserable.

But from the perspective of the current Ancient Dao City, except for the fact that there are fewer people, it doesn't look like it has been affected by the flames of war at all.

Outside the city, another team of officers and soldiers greeted them, and the leader was the commander of the battalion guarding Gudao City. It cannot be eliminated.

"My subordinates welcome Princess Hexu. Your Majesty is in the residence of Lord Zhizhou, and please move the princess away."

Shangguan Yue raised her eyebrows, "Lead the way."

"Yes."

In the city, there are few people, but the people are quite rich. There are basically all the stalls on the street, but the expressions of these people are dull, like walking dead.

Some people stopped curiously, and some people knew that the Holy Majesty was here, so they naturally knew that the glamorous woman in front of them was the princess of the country of He.

Mu Jin was puzzled, "Master Qian, why do the people in the city look so unhappy?"

Mr. Qian smiled stiffly, "My lord, they were all affected by the flames of war. Many people lost their relatives because of this. Some people couldn't accept it, so they left their hometowns and left here."

Mu Jin nodded, "No wonder there are few people here."

"Fortunately, General Lin is brave. The war has subsided and the people can breathe." Mr. Ying Qian smiled, and he lowered his head to hide his twinkling eyes.

A lot of ghost papers were flying, and a group of people carrying the coffin came, and they were crying. When Mr. Qian saw this, he scolded in a cold voice, "Who dares to disturb the princess, take it down."

Shangguan Yue looked sideways, raised his hand to stop, "It's okay, let them pass first."

The trumpet was blowing, and the crowd behind them were wearing white mourning clothes. They walked forward with their heads down, and Shangguan Yue's team gave way, but these people did not leave, but knelt in front of her one by one.

A man bowed his head and begged: "I beg the princess to be the master for us!"

"I beg the princess to be the master for us!"

Mr. Qian heard the words, and said coldly: "A group of ignorant and troublesome people, it is a great blessing for His Highness to make way for you, and you dare to be presumptuous here!"

"Princess, I have a request. I beg the princess to listen to Caomin."

Shangguan Yue: "But it's okay to say."

"Princess, before the war broke out, people from our place disappeared one after another. Even if they reported to the official, there was no way. Later, due to the disaster of the war, the number of missing people was even more. Princess, you must help me. Wait for the master!"

"I beg the princess to decide."

Shangguan Yue glanced coldly at President Ying Qian, "Is what they said the truth?"

The general of the camp was sweating, "Your Highness, Wu must listen to other people's flattery. This war is spreading. The relatives of these people died on the battlefield. We didn't have any silver to distribute the consolation money, so they made trouble everywhere."

"You are talking nonsense, princess, what the grass people said is true. In order to cover up this matter, these people even drove the poor people who lost their families out of the city."

Mr. Qian was furious, pointed at the man and said, "If it's as you said, why didn't any of the people who were driven out of the city go to other places to report to the government?"

"This······"

The man choked, he knelt and walked forward, "Princess, Caomin is not lying, please trust Caomin."

Shangguan Yue's face was indifferent, "According to what you said, you should also have family members missing, but why do you still stay in the city, and why take risks?"

The man wept sadly, "Because Cao Min's sister was found not long ago, but there was only a body left. The government said that she was killed by the Nanman people, so we pretended to believe it, so we were not driven out of the city."

Mu Jin pushed Shangguan Yue's hand away and got off the horse, "Can you let me see your sister?"

The man nodded, "Of course, I brought my sister here, just to let the adults find out."

Boss Qian frowned. He squeezed his hands tightly and turned his head to wink at his subordinate, who left quietly. Shangguan Yue looked sideways and sneered.

Lifting the lid of the coffin, the woman inside was lying quietly, her bloodless face was without any makeup, and her face was light purple, obviously, as the man said, she wanted to wait for someone to check.

It stinks a bit, Mu Jin held her nose, she was actually afraid in her heart, after all, she is not the kind of forensic doctor who faces the dead every day.

Mu Jin probed, and took a closer look at it.

The woman's wrists had binding marks, and there were signs of breaking free. Her limbs were cut and bled, her clothes were messy, with a few scratches, and some soil remained on them, apparently scratched by some trees and plants when she was running away.

Judging from the rotting and spotting of the corpse, combined with the recent low temperature, it should be three to four days since he died, but Mu Jin can only roughly judge.

Although she still wanted to see if there were any other injuries on the body, it was still a bit embarrassing for her to take off her clothes for inspection.

"When did your sister disappear and where was she found?"

The man clasped his hands, "My lord, my sister disappeared half a month ago. We searched everywhere, and found her on a street near Caomin's house. But my sister lost too much blood during her escape, so she couldn't insist on returning home."

Mu Jin asked Mr. Qian again, "Why do you judge that the man was killed by the Southern barbarians?"

Mr. Yingqian hesitated for a moment, "Although the Nanmans were defeated, some of them failed to withdraw to the Nanmans. Naturally, these people had resentment towards us He people. The dead died miserably. It cannot be ruled out that the Nanmans were venting their anger."

Shangguan Yue sneered, "Why, all those who died miserably can be blamed on the southern barbarians?"

Boss Yingqian bowed his head, "This subordinate doesn't mean that, but now that people's hearts are just settled, this subordinate wants to appease them first, and then investigate in private."

The man was furious, "You fart, after so many years, have you Zhizhou adults found anything yet?"

Mr. Yingqian argued, "The thieves are cunning, and the missing person has never been found. The Zhizhou master can only appease him first and then find the person. What is wrong with him?"
