Chapter 377 Treasure Map

Snap——

Nan Jiao slapped Murong Xi twice with her backhand quickly, accurately and fiercely, knocking him to the ground.

Murong Xi screamed miserably, and her originally snow-white face became red and swollen. She looked extremely frightened. Her maidservant immediately went to help her, but she pushed her away.

"Jiang Nanjiao, this is the Chu Imperial Palace!" Murong Xi said angrily with a distorted expression.

"So what!" Nan Jiao looked down at her arrogantly, as if she was looking at a little idiot who couldn't show up on stage.

Murong Xi's eyes widened. She actually said, so what? Who gave her the courage to be so arrogant and presumptuous!

This is the State of Chu!

Not Qin!

"You..." Murong Xi glared at her with hatred.

Nan Jiao walked towards her and stretched out her hand to pinch her chin, "You provoked me first, so you have to pay the price. Don't think you can get away with it just because you die as a maid!"

Murong Xi gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

"If there was evidence, you would be a corpse now and have no right to talk to me!" Nan Jiao let her go, feeling cold all over.

He was like a murderous Asura from hell, bloodthirsty and cold-blooded.

"If you hit me, I will go to my father to complain." Murong Xi said angrily, covering his cheek.

"I've met your father before, and he told me that you were under house arrest. You disobeyed the emperor's order and sneaked out. Those slaps just now were a lesson for you on behalf of your father!" Nan Jiao said righteously.

She must have been sure of it, so she beat her in public.

Murong Xi was a little angry after hearing this, and said angrily: "What qualifications do you have to teach me on behalf of my father!"

"Whether you are qualified or not, you can always go to your father." Nan Jiao's eyes were filled with a cold and arrogant aura, and she turned around and left in a leisurely manner.

"Fifth sister, you really shouldn't have run out. Also, you should persuade Concubine Hua Gui and use some maintenance medicine. She will die." Murong Jing reminded her.

After saying this, he turned and left with a thin sneer on his face.

Naturally, he couldn't stand Concubine Hua Guifei.

After the Queen passed away, she was the most favored woman in the harem, and no matter how well his mother did, his father would not often visit her palace.

After Nan Jiao went out, she glanced at Zhan Beiheng and Molan, then took them away.

Murong Jing chased after her, "Princess Jin, I'll take you out."

"Just arrange someone to lead the way. Second Prince, go and take care of your own business. I want to go for a stroll by myself after leaving the palace." Nan Jiao refused his escort.

"Okay." Murong Jing did not insist and arranged for a eunuch to take them out of the palace.

Out of the palace.

Nan Jiao told Zhan Beiheng about the meeting with Emperor Wenshun.

"Could that person be from the royal family of Chu?" Zhan Beiheng's dark eyes were filled with sinister intent.

"I'm not sure whether the face he showed at that time was real or disguised." Nan Jiao felt depressed. When they first met, he had that face.

If it is true, he should be related to the royal family of Chu.

Otherwise, are there really people in the world who look so similar?

"Did he betray you for the treasure map?" Zhan Beiheng asked.

"Yeah." Nan Jiao clenched her fists. If she hadn't accidentally obtained the treasure map, would he not have betrayed them?

Zhan Beiheng asked curiously: "What kind of treasure map is it?"

"That treasure map is not complete. It says there are countless treasures inside. Whoever gets the treasure can rule the world." Nan Jiao said slowly.

She has no interest in the world, only in treasure.

At that time, the other person was someone she trusted very much, both a teacher and a father, so she told him about the treasure map, but she didn't expect that he would choose the treasure map.

"He also believes such nonsense?" Zhan Beiheng had a look of contempt. If you want to conquer the world, you can't just rely on treasures.

Nan Jiao said calmly: "Maybe he believes it, or maybe he just wants the treasure."

After all, the world is not so easy to obtain.

Zhan Beiheng snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Useless person!"

Only those who have no ability would dream of getting wealth by relying on others.

He was even more resentful that Nan Jiao's sincerity could not outweigh the importance of wealth in her heart.

If he were still alive.

He would never let him have his way.

"You're right. I won't mention that kind of person anymore. I was blind at the time." Nan Jiao's face was filled with a bright smile as she mentioned that person again.

She no longer felt any turmoil in her heart.

I am no longer as angry, sad, and unwilling as I was before.

Now, he is no longer an important person to her. If they have a chance to meet again in the future, they will be enemies and they will resolve the issue as they wish.

She will never show mercy.

"It's not that you are blind, it's that you are too kind." Zhan Beiheng comforted her.

"Maybe." Nan Jiao blinked.

"So you have to be on guard against Murong Yan. Don't give him the chance to get close to you, and don't be fooled by his self-torture tactics." Zhan Beiheng said seriously.

Nan Jiao looked at the man's tense face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I know, you're just jealous."

Zhan Beiheng: “…”

The next few days.

Nan Jiao stayed in Wutong Courtyard and didn't go out, mainly because Zhan Beiheng didn't let her go out. Even if Murong Yan sent someone to invite her, he wouldn't let her go.

Until this day Murong Yan came in person and said that the Bodhi root had matured.

"Can we go pick them now?" Nan Jiao looked at Murong Yan with sparkling eyes. She was extremely excited. This made her more excited than finding a treasure.

After all, it is the medicine to save my son.

"Well, it can be done now." Murong Yan said calmly.

"Let's go now." Nan Jiao said excitedly.

"Okay." Murong Yan nodded, looked deeply at Zhan Beiheng beside him, turned around and walked outside.

Nan Jiao looked at Zhan Beiheng, "You don't have to accompany me. I will be back after picking the Bodhi roots. You should pack up your things and prepare to leave."

After getting the Bodhi root, there is no need to stay in Chu anymore.

Although Zhan Beiheng was reluctant to let her go with Murong Yan, he still did not insist on going, since they were about to leave the State of Chu anyway.

in the carriage.

Murong Yan looked at Nan Jiao, whose smile never stopped. It was the first time he saw her so happy, which made him feel better.

"Who are you trying to save with the Bodhi root?"

"My son." Nan Jiao did not hide it.

"No wonder you are so determined to get the Bodhi root." Murong Yan understood immediately.

Nan Jiao curled her lips, "I must get it. Will there be any accidents later?"

Murong Yan said calmly: "I can guarantee that you will get the Bodhi root smoothly, but I am not sure if anyone will steal it after you leave the State of Chu."

Nan Jiao was filled with murderous intent, "I will kill anyone who dares to rob me."

Murong Yan looked at her and said meaningfully, "Since you have called the people from Shura Sect, I'm sure no one will dare to rob it."

Nan Jiao said calmly, "This is called "Precautions for the Rain". Is your arm wound healed?"

She quickly changed the subject.

"Your ointment is very effective. It has already scabbed over." Murong Yan's voice softened. It was rare that she was still concerned about the wound on his arm.

"That's good." Nan Jiao nodded.

The two soon arrived at Wuliang Temple.

Murong Yan personally climbed up the tree to pick the Bodhi roots. When Nan Jiao saw him coming down, she quickly walked towards him.
