Chapter 319: The New Emperor x The Poor Princess of the Former Dynasty 2
Wang Quan led his men to continue searching, not even sparing the bushes. They searched roughly with the sword in their hands, not considering whether they would hurt this delicate princess of the previous dynasty.
Suddenly, a tiger roar sounded from not far away, deafening.
"Tiger, Commander, there is a tiger here"
Wang Quan also took several steps back in fear, holding the knife in front of him.
The white tiger leaped out, ready to attack.
"Commander, there is a tiger here, let's run quickly, the princess of the previous dynasty will definitely not be here"
Wang Quan nodded. If the princess of the previous dynasty had really run here, she would have been eaten by a tiger long ago.
"retreat"
Wang Quan retreated step by step with his hands, and when he saw the tiger staring at them motionlessly, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The white tiger watched these humans disappear from its sight, then turned around and continued to watch over the sleeping Aunt Qiao, and even ran over to pick up a few fruits.
Aunt Qiao slept very deeply and soundly this time. The warm feeling all over her body made her not want to wake up.
However, Aunt Qiao still woke up the next morning. What caught her eyes was white fluff. She was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched it. The warm feeling woke her up suddenly.
Aunt Qiao found herself lying in the arms of a big white tiger. No wonder it was so warm. But Aunt Qiao was not afraid because she found that the tiger had no intention of hurting her. It even lay on its belly facing up and let her touch it.
"Hehehe" Aunt Qiao stroked her fur happily. Who could understand this feeling? It's really great.
Royal Palace
Jun Molin sat in Yu's study, listening to Wang Quan and others' reports. He pinched his brows in annoyance and said, "What a waste. He can't even find a woman."
"The former princess must be found. The former prime minister has found out that the princess has half a military token in her hand."
Wang Quan and his men exchanged a glance, then he knelt on the ground, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't you think the princess should be killed without mercy?"
Jun Molin glanced at Wang Quan sharply, "When did I tell you to take people to capture the princess? When did I say that you would be killed without mercy?"
Wang Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead, he was terrified, the emperor's eyes were too scary, "Your Majesty, it was Miss Yu who ordered it, she said if we find the princess we don't have to bring her back, just kill her without mercy"
Jun Molin frowned. He was already a little impatient with the daughter of the man who had saved his life. "Who is she? Do you listen to her? Otherwise, I'll let you serve her from now on."
"Liu Cheng, go find a house in the city and let Miss Yu live in it from now on. I don't want to see her again."
Liu Cheng was also shocked when he heard this. Even his trusted eunuch thought that Miss Yu would become the emperor's concubine. He never expected that the emperor had no such intention at all.
"Yes, I will do it now."
Wang Quan was very frightened. It seemed like they had flattered the wrong person. They thought this Miss Yu would have great fortune in the future, but she turned out to be nothing.
Jun Molin looked at Wang Quan kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "As for you, go down and receive fifty lashes of the cane."
Wang Quan kowtowed quickly to express his gratitude. Not executing him on the spot was already a grace from the emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
Jun Molin rubbed his forehead irritably. Although he had ascended the throne, there were still many remnants of the previous dynasty. There were many remnants hidden in the capital alone. The eldest princess was the only offspring left by the previous emperor. Because the previous emperor loved this princess the most, he used his last power to help the eldest princess escape from the palace. Although the prince had been dealt with by him, the half piece of military token was never found.
It was the former prime minister who could not bear the torture and confessed that the half piece of military token was in the hands of the eldest princess.
"Someone come here!"
"The slave is here"
Jun Molin was silent for a moment and said, "Find an artist to draw a portrait of the princess."
"I heard that the eldest princess is the most beautiful woman in the Min Dynasty. I want to see how beautiful she is to be protected by the royal family of the previous dynasty."
"Yes, I will do it right away." A young eunuch took the order and retreated.
Jun Molin and even many people in the palace don't know what the most beautiful woman in the Min Dynasty looks like. They just heard that the eldest princess is very beautiful, incredibly beautiful, but they always thought it was just an exaggeration.
It is not easy to paint this portrait of the eldest princess. It is hard to find a painter with good painting skills. In addition, the painter can only rely on the description of people who have seen the eldest princess to paint this picture, and there must be no mistakes.
By the time the painting reached Jun Molin's hands, it was already half a month later.
During this period, people were sent to look for the whereabouts of the princess, but there was no news at all.
Jun Molin looked at the painting in silence. The painter's painting skills were really good, as if the person standing in front of him was a real person.
Jun Molin raised his hand and gently stroked the woman in the painting, his eyes slightly narrowed, with an unfathomable emotion in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this painting best restores the eldest princess's appearance. If we look for her based on her appearance in the painting, it will be easy to find her. It is impossible for anyone in the world to look like this except the eldest princess." Seeing that Jun Molin had been silent for a long time without saying a word, Liu Cheng boldly expressed his opinion.
Jun Molin paused while stroking the portrait, glanced at Liu Cheng and said, "Ask the painter to draw another portrait like this. I'll keep this one."
"Send someone to look for her according to the portrait's appearance. Remember, do not harm her. Report immediately if you find any news."
"Yes, I will do it right away." Liu Cheng was a little puzzled as to why the eldest princess was not allowed to be harmed, but he dared not question the order given by Jun Molin.
Aunt Qiao was wearing a coarse linen shirt, her skin was a little red from being rubbed, but there was nothing she could do about it. This shirt was something Xiaobai had gotten from somewhere. Her previous maid's outfit was too conspicuous, and if anyone wanted to find her, that shirt would be an obvious sign.
Although this outfit is very uncomfortable to wear, it is still within the tolerable range. Alas, it’s all because my skin is too tender.
[Host, please stop being so narcissistic. Do you plan to keep this clingy tiger with you forever? That would be even more eye-catching.]
"I won't go to a very prosperous place. I will just find a place to settle down in a nearby village. There should be many people loyal to the Min Dynasty who want to find me now."
[But the host's mission target is the new emperor. If you collude with the previous dynasty, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?]
"I'm not colluding, I just want to protect myself. Although I know I'm beautiful, I don't know the new emperor. If he's not the kind of person obsessed with beauty, how can I get close to him?"
"Besides, I don't have much money on me. If I want to survive, I can only contact people from the previous dynasty first."
[That being said, I think the new emperor will find you faster than the previous emperor. You still have to think about it. If the new emperor finds you, how can you make him like you?]
If Aunt Qiao regained her memory, she would definitely curse the system, because as long as the male protagonist sees Aunt Qiao, he would never hurt her.
