When people reach middle age, they have more or less experienced many scenes in life.
Men will become mature and steady, and women will become dignified and polite.
As an official working in the Seven Star Prison, Linghua had naturally seen many talented men and handsome young men in Chang'an.
Linghua has always been confident that it is impossible to win her heart simply by relying on her face.
But when she saw Qin Yuesheng falling from the sky, she was stunned, she was dumbfounded, she blushed, and her heart was beating inexplicably.
When Dong Zhou saw the bronze toad official order that Qin Yuesheng took out, although he knew that the other party was his superior, he inexplicably felt a sense of envy and rejection in his heart.
Damn it! How could there be such a handsome young man in this world?
One must have been a good person for many lifetimes and accumulated a lot of blessings to have such a flawless face.
"Greetings, sir."
All the thoughts came to mind in a moment. When Qin Yuesheng took out the official order to ask questions, the two of them immediately knelt on one knee and greeted Qin Yuesheng.
The girl looked at Qin Yuesheng evasively, her face flushed. When she saw what Dong Zhou and Ling Hua were doing, her mind went blank. She confusedly tried to imitate them and kneel down to Qin Yuesheng. Dong Zhou was shocked when he saw this: "Princess, you can't do that!"
Linghua reacted quickly and pressed the girl's knees with both palms, preventing her from kneeling.
Today, the world still belongs to the Tang Dynasty, so the princess is naturally a noble being second only to the emperor and above everyone else. How can she kneel here in such a humbly manner before a Bronze Toad official?
But the girl didn't care at all. Facing Qin Yuesheng, she was extremely pious in her heart. She knelt down to him as naturally and smoothly as if she was kowtowing before an immortal, and she had no resistance at all.
Qin Yuesheng waved his hand casually, and the three of them stood up from the ground at the same time. "Don't bother with these clichéd rules. You're injured, so go and heal first. Now tell me why the three of you came to Qingyang City, and what's going on with this princess?"
When Dong Zhou saw Qin Yuesheng showing off his extraordinary skills, he immediately told him the reason for his trip.
The death of the late emperor that day shocked Chang'an.
Everyone originally thought that the prince would soon succeed to the throne and become emperor, but who would have thought that the East Palace would suffer a drastic change overnight, the prince mysteriously disappeared, and the third prince succeeded to the throne.
Dongzhou and Linghua were unaware of the specific hidden story. They only knew that one night later, a masked man in a black robe broke into the headquarters of the Seven Star Supervisor in Chang'an carrying a long box and started a fight. He forced the head of the Seven Star Supervisor, Prince Li Mu, the Seven Star General, to come forward and appease the man.
On the second day, the Seven Stars Supervisor received an imperial edict from the court, requiring all officials of the Seven Stars Supervisor above the rank of Bronze Toad to report to the palace and contribute to the suppression of the thirty-six rebels.
On the same day, Li Mu secretly arranged for two hundred Iron Toad officials to leave Chang'an in groups of two, each carrying an identical box, with the responsibility of protecting the box and sending it as far away from Chang'an as possible.
Dong Zhou and Ling Hua were both subordinates of Zuo Zonghao. Before leaving, Zuo Zonghao secretly found them and asked them to change their route to Jiangnan. If they encountered danger, they could go to Qingyang City to seek help from a Tongchan official named Qin.
However, before Zuo Zonghao had the time to explain too much, he was forcibly taken away by people from the court.
After leaving Chang'an with the box, according to the instructions of Prince Li Mu, the two found a deserted place on the road half a day to open the box. Only then did they discover that the object in the box was actually a beautiful girl whose mute and numb points had been pressed.
Linghua had seen this girl before when she was working in the palace. She was the daughter of the crown prince, Li Qingqiao, the ninth princess of the Tang Dynasty.
When they learned that they had actually left Chang'an with the Ninth Princess, Dong Zhou and the others were naturally shocked and scared.
Their official rank and strength were too low to allow them to access things from the upper level. However, when they saw the Ninth Princess in the box, they instantly understood that Prince Li Mu's secret operation this time was not simple at all. They must have been inadvertently involved in a big event.
The Crown Prince, who was supposed to succeed him, mysteriously disappeared, and was replaced by the Third Prince. A mysterious man carrying a box broke into the Seven Star Prison. Prince Li Mu ordered two hundred Iron Toad officials, divided into groups of two, to rush aimlessly to various parts of the country, carrying the same box...
All the clues are connected together, and what is going on has been made clear, so there is no need to explain it in detail.
Knowing that the mission they were facing was arduous, Prince Li Mu resorted to this deception, which meant that the people in Chang'an would not let the Ninth Princess go easily and would definitely hunt her down.
So Linghua helped the Ninth Princess to untie the acupuncture point. The three of them found a farm, spent money to change into inconspicuous clothes, and then took the mountain roads and trails, heading south to the south of the Yangtze River in the most inconspicuous way.
After listening to Dong Zhou and the other two's explanations, Qin Yuesheng pondered.
I didn't expect that the private struggle among the Chang'an royal family would spread to Qingyang City. Zuo Zonghao is really a guy who knows how to cause trouble for himself.
Why did these two people come to Jiangnan to find me for no reason? If I were weak, I would be dragged into this royal vortex and implicated.
The Ninth Princess is a trouble, and no one can say whether there will be more masters from Chang'an coming.
"Sir, your martial arts are so powerful that we two subordinates have already witnessed it. If you can protect the Ninth Princess, it will definitely be much safer than the two of us. Please take the Ninth Princess in for the time being. We two will continue to head south to attract the masters sent by the eunuch party." Seeing that Qin Yuesheng was silent, Linghua kowtowed and begged.
Along the way, she had been inseparable from the Ninth Princess, and knew that she was a gentle, quiet, and hard-working child, very different from the image of a princess imagined by the people.
