Chapter 373 Chapter 372 The Unkillable Heroine
An Rui turned his head and looked at Liu Huai, "Captain Liu, did you take this road to escort the prisoners here before?"
"Ahem!" Liu Huai coughed awkwardly, then said, "Actually, the official road to Lingnan County is quite spacious.
However, because it is hot and humid here all year round, the official road is sometimes accessible and sometimes not, and is often blocked by mudslides caused by heavy rains. "
Liu Huai sighed, "Unfortunately, it rained heavily a few days before we got here. Now the road is blocked and we can only walk through here."
After hearing this, everyone looked at the narrow path ahead with great excitement on their faces.
There was a path less than two feet wide above, and a steep cliff below. An Xin turned around, narrowed his eyes, and asked dangerously: "Are you sure you are not one of the fourth wave sent to assassinate me?!"
An Xin looked as if he could see through her, which made Liu Huai smile bitterly.
He led the way onto the trail, proving with his own actions that he was a good man.
"Master An?!"
An Xin touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and said to the others: "Just follow me, what else can we do?"
An Rui gave his cousin a thumbs up to express his admiration for her thick-skinned character.
"Get lost." An Xin gave him a kick in return, "You're itching for a beating."
Everyone on An Xin's side walked towards the place of exile with grunts.
Here in the capital, because of the rise of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xiao Wenjin was also arranged by his father to enter the court. Fearing Prime Minister Xiao's current status, no one dared to mention what had happened to him.
As for those who followed Xiao Wenjin, thanks to his relationship with the prime minister's son, they were able to get official positions of varying degrees in various departments of the imperial court.
Not to mention Wen Changyi and Tao Fei, even Du Hang and Cao Peng have been assigned positions and are now considered Xiao Wenjin's trusted men.
Feng Shaolin can walk around the capital city with his arrogance now, because his aunt is the virtuous concubine, his cousin is now the crown prince, and his own family is the Duke's Mansion.
Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, now when people in the capital see people from the Feng family, they flatter and respect them, for fear of offending the unreasonable people of the Anguo Mansion.
During the time when the emperor was in a coma, the entire capital was in a state of panic because of the turmoil in the court. Everyone knew that Feng Shaolin was a lustful person by nature, and he would not allow any woman in his family who was somewhat pretty to leave the house.
They were afraid of being noticed by this lecherous little bully. Their own power was not as strong as that of the Anguo Mansion. Once they offended them, at best Feng Shaolin's mother, the wife of the Anguo Prince, Mrs. Du, would come to make trouble, or at worst he would be imprisoned.
At first, no one noticed that the women in the family were being bullied and humiliated, and most of them chose to swallow their anger. After all, the person who controls the harem now is the virtuous concubine who comes from the Anguo Mansion.
I can’t afford to offend you. I can’t afford to offend you.
Nowadays, when many people see people from the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion, they either flatter them or avoid them.
This shows how much people hate the Duke of Anguo's Mansion now.
If the virtuous concubine controls the harem, then Prime Minister Xiao Tiancheng is the one who controls the court.
Xiao Wenrou, who believed that she was now powerful in the Prime Minister's Mansion, sent away An Xin, the female official who was a plague and who could overshadow her without doing anything, steal all her limelight, and was an eyesore to her all the time.
She felt that her time to shine had come.
However, when she asked her cheap father, the prime minister who had great power in the court at that time, to give her an official position, she was rejected outright by Prime Minister Xiao who believed that women were dull and ignorant.
However, after being depressed for a while, Xiao Wenrou saw that she didn't need to exchange for the halo of the heroine herself, and there were more and more noble young men from various families in the capital around her, often surrounding her and showing her courtesy. She began to feel elated and thought that this was the life that the heroine should live.
Without An Xin, the rag that obscured her brilliance, Xiao Wenrou felt that she was the most dazzling beauty in the capital. She dressed up beautifully every day to attend various banquets and parties invited by young gentlemen.
Enjoying the vanity of being pursued and loved by men.
People are never satisfied. No matter how brilliant her poems were in the past, in the eyes of the powerful families, they were not as good as An Xin, the female official who taught many outstanding students.
Now, the person who obscured her glory was probably poisoned to death on the road of exile by the mother and daughter who were engaged in the secret prostitution business arranged by her using the poison she exchanged from the system.
But after being praised and admired for a long time, Xiao Wenrou felt that her dazzling life was a bit boring.
That day, she heard two maids chatting in her own garden. They mentioned that the young master in the capital was the most handsome. She suddenly remembered the man who had rejected her approach many times, was not polite to her, and had a handsome appearance like a banished immortal.
Xiao Wenrou's eyes darkened. She had already known that this person was the ruthless and frail Third Master Jiang of Cheng'en Mansion who was rumored in the capital.
Thinking that An Xin, whom he looked at differently, might have been poisoned to death by the mother and daughter whom he bribed, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Xiao Wenrou's eyes.

Because she secretly hated An Xin, Xiao Wenrou once sent people to cause trouble for several of An Xin's students who stayed in the capital, including Feng Yuxiu, Shan Yongzhen, Si Wei, and Chi Lan.
However, every time they would band together to fight against the people she sent to cause trouble, and the families behind those people were not ordinary people.
Every time she wanted to increase her efforts, Xiao Wenrou always felt as if there was a force in the capital city that was blocking her and protecting them.
Xiao Wenrou, who didn't believe in evil, once again ordered people to beat Shan Yongzhen, whose family was weak and exiled from Shan Yushi.
If Xiao Wenrou had not been rescued by the eldest prince who passed by when she went out that day, she would have been hit by a mad horse and would have been half dead.
Although she didn't die, Xiao Wenrou didn't dare to attack the students that An Xin left in the capital. Nothing was more important than her beautiful life.
After a long journey, An Xin arrived at his place of exile in Lingnan, where he received a letter from the capital, in which he learned that An Yi and his companions had protected Feng Yuxiu, Shan Yongzhen and others from being killed by Xiao Wenrou.
Several attempts were made to make her disappear from this world, but they were thwarted by various unexpected situations and all the assassinations failed.
After reading the letter, An Xin thought that it was good that she could not be killed. She was a time-traveling girl with the aura of a heroine, so how could she be killed so easily?
After burning the letter over the candle flame, An Xin looked at Erhu, who had already arrived in Lingnan as she had secretly ordered before leaving Beijing.
An Xin had long guessed that the old emperor, who was pretending to be dead, could allow Prime Minister Xiao and others to exile him to Lingnan so easily, so the matter must be complicated.
Therefore, she asked Erhu to bring people here in advance. No matter whether he received any orders from the Dog Emperor on the way, it would be useful for her to have Erhu come to Lingnan.
An Xin: "What's the situation here?"
"King Liang came to his fiefdom more than ten years ago. On the surface, he was kind to the people in his fiefdom, and the people here loved him very much." Erhu suddenly said with pity: "But~"
An Xin took a sip of tea and continued to listen to the report. She guessed that the next words would be the main point that Erhu wanted to say.
