"Tell me, why did you want to hurt me?"
"I don't want to hurt you." Nanzhi's tears fell, and she didn't know whether it was out of panic or true guilt. "Lord Wen threatened me with the antidote, I really can't do anything..."
Lord Wen is an old man in his fifties, in good spirits. He is the leader of the envoys sent by Loulan to Daxia. After Guan Su left, he was in charge of the Loulan team.
Yun Yuan was unmoved by Nan Zhi's tears and asked her coldly, "Do you think that now that we've left Loulan, it's better for me to die within the borders of Daxia than to be exposed in the capital?"
Nanzhi burst into tears, "You are already unclean. Once the marriage is granted, it will be impossible to hide it. There is nothing we can do."
In fact, Lord Wen also said that they are now in a state of concealing the truth from both sides, and they will be doomed if they are not careful. If Yun Yuan dies now, no one will know that it is not the real Princess Jiayue who died. The risk will be eliminated, and they can also negotiate some compensation with the Emperor of Daxia for this matter. It would be even better if they can ask the Princess of Daxia for compensation.
Yun Yuan smiled coldly, "So you lied to me when you said you wanted me to cooperate with the operation, and you also lied to me when you said you got along well with me, just to make me let my guard down?" Guan Su made such a big move, no one would believe that Guan Su would endure and not destroy her body, so this excuse was meaningless.
The original owner of the previous life did not encounter these things. Perhaps it was because Guan Su did not take her away, or perhaps it was because she walked slowly. When it rained, she was still more than ten kilometers away from the tree that was struck by lightning, and she did not catch a cold. Considering that poisoning and colds have completely different symptoms, Master Wen did not touch her.
Nanzhi just cried, and Yunyuan was annoyed. "Go away, and don't show up in front of me again."
Nanzhi left and Lord Wen came.
Lord Wen's old voice sounded through the screen.
"You are Princess Jiayue's personal maid. You should feel honored to die for her."
"What about my life?" Yun Yuan asked, "It was your idea to have me replace Princess Jiayue."
"It was indeed our idea, but the lives of hundreds and thousands of people on the team are at stake. They are all our brothers and sisters in Loulan. I can't just sit back and watch. Neither can you. Sacrificing yourself can save so many people. You deserve to die."
The one who went to fuck the horse deserved his death.
Even if everyone died, it was because Princess Zhen Jiayue ran away from her marriage. Don't try to put the blame on her.
Yun Yuan asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell the people of Daxia?"
Lord Wen smiled, as if laughing at Yun Yuan's naiveté.
"Just stay in your room and relax. Since you're dying for us, we won't let your death be too painful."
After he left, Nanzhi brought in another bowl of medicine.
"Take it. The medicine will only make your condition worse, but you won't die immediately."
Yun Yuan: Then thank you very much.
Of course she wouldn't drink it and knocked it to the ground with one hand.
Chu Mu was standing outside Yunyuan Gate when he happened to hear the voice, "What's going on in there?"
Lord Wen smiled and replied in Daxia: "The medicine is a bit bitter, and the princess is in a bad mood."
Chu Mu frowned slightly and looked at Lord Wen with a serious look.
Lord Wen's expression remained unchanged. Nanzhi happened to come out and asked her in Loulan dialect, "Princess, have you drunk yet?"
Nanzhi lowered her head and replied in the same Loulan language: "No, I'll get another bowl."
"Go quickly and make sure to coax the princess into drinking it."
"yes."
Yun Yuan was almost delirious with fever. Upon hearing Chu Mu's voice, she struggled to get out of bed and open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the Loulan man guarding the door changed his expression and stretched out his hand to stop her.
"Princess, you can't come out."
Yun Yuan ignored them. She simply reached out to Chu Mu and said, "Save me."
Chu Mu subconsciously reached out his hand, and Yun Yuan leaned softly against him. Her body temperature was frighteningly high, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. The air was filled with a rich fragrance that made everyone who smelled it feel distracted.
Chu Mu held her soft and boneless body in his arms and suppressed his inner restlessness. He was now basically certain of one thing.
"Shouldn't you, Loulan, give us an explanation?"
Yun Yuan's half-closed eyelids trembled slightly, and Lord Wen's heart skipped a beat: "What does Prime Minister Chu mean?"
"We are all smart people." Chu Mu's low voice sounded above Yun Yuan's head. "I can pretend to know nothing, but she..." He put his arm around Yun Yuan's waist to prevent her from falling. "My mission is to bring Princess Loulan to the capital. She can't die here."
To be honest, she hid it very poorly.
Princess Jiayue was precious and could not stand the hardship, yet she traveled for days without a single complaint.
She would say words like "thank you" and "thank you for bothering you", which are words a princess who has been in a high position for a long time and is used to being served would not say.
The Loulan envoys were not respectful enough to her, and she was too distant from him... and was afraid that someone would find out. If she was the real Princess Jiayue, and came to Daxia, where she was unfamiliar with the place, to marry, she would definitely inquire about the situation in the capital along the way and then win him over, unless she had already accepted her fate and allowed the King of Daxia to arrange her marriage at will.
She's suspicious if she doesn't do anything.
Lord Wen frowned, his already small eyes becoming even smaller. "You are from Daxia, and you are the Prime Minister, second only to the emperor. Why did you hide this from us? What is your purpose?"
"I just want to watch the fun." Chu Mu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled meaningfully: "To be honest, I am looking forward to what will happen when the envoy of a small country and the fake princess come to the capital."
This is treating them like monkeys. Lord Wen was very angry and helpless.
This is the tragedy of small countries.
"To prevent you from killing her, I will watch over her from now on." Chu Mu picked up Yun Yuan and walked towards his room.
"Master Wen, he..."
Lord Wen raised his hand to stop his subordinate from speaking, "As long as Prime Minister Chu doesn't expose her, she's just a maid, he can do whatever he wants."
"yes."
Yun Yuan leaned against Chu Mu in a daze. There was no extra bed in the room, so she was placed on his bed, which still lingered with his fresh scent.
Chu Mu asked someone to prescribe new medicine for Yun Yuan and watched her for a long time.
The girl's crow-feather eyelashes drooped listlessly under her beautiful eyelids, shaking from time to time. She slept very uneasily, her black hair spread all over the bed, and the exposed skin was as white as jade.
Chu Mu placed his bony hands on her veil.
