Chapter 49: The Cold King's Substitute Concubine (Twenty-Four)



The remaining desire suddenly subsided with the falling of cold rain, and the consciousness and strength to escape also returned.

Sophie climbed out of bed in the dark, stepping on others.

Helian Jue groaned in pain.

He is still under the influence of the drug and is not fully awake.

In the dim light, he only felt a delicate little hand lingering and groping on his chest, and then her coat was pulled off his body.

???

Helian Jue frowned almost invisibly. Just when he thought that the other party had bad intentions towards him, the clear voice of a young girl came to his ears.

"Master Jue, thank you for your reward. Awu will not be shy!~"

Sophie weighed the heavy purse in her hand with satisfaction, and then put on the coat she had taken from Helian Jue with peace of mind.

Anyway, he had torn her clothes, so he might as well consider it as compensation.

Helian Jue was unable to move and was speechless.

He forced himself to open his heavy eyes, and what he saw was the girl's figure disappearing in the moonlight.

Just leave like that?

An indescribable emotion suddenly surged into Helian Jue's heart.

Relying on the memories in her mind, Sophie quickly mastered the skills of Qinggong.

Although the overall effect was not as good as her Flying Spell, the experience was still good. After a few leaps, she arrived at an inn.

Without the supervision of the Poison Lady, Sophie feasted on the food.

After eating and drinking her fill, she spent all her savings to buy a horse in the stable and some dry food.

Now I only have 9 magic points in my body and can't do anything.

She could only carry a bag of dry food and ride on the horse back to the city.

Seven days later.

Sophie successfully returned to Kyoto with her almost broken body.

The first thing I did when I got to the city was to sell Xiaohong for money and then go to a restaurant for dinner.

"Ah, after all, the food in Kyoto is more to my taste!"

Sophie nibbled on the sauced duck leg in her hand with contentment, completely ignoring the strange looks from the guests around her.

"Hey, do you think that girl is the missing woman mentioned in the imperial edict?"

"No way? The missing one is the eldest daughter of General Lin, the national defender. How could she be like this?"

"That's true. But I still feel a little bit like..."

"I think you're crazy about the money, right? Miss Lin has been missing for over half a month. How could she possibly eat in a small restaurant like this, and eat... so much?!"

"That's right. How could someone who couldn't be found by Prince Beiming and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be found so easily by us?"

"Okay, okay, let's eat."

Sophie heard the conversation of the three people sitting next to her word for word.

She calmly swallowed the last bite of duck meat, a subtle smile appearing at the corners of her shiny lips.

It's time to show some real skills!

Sophie turned and walked out of the restaurant and came to the city wall covered with notices.

In full view of the crowd, she raised her hand with a "hiss" and removed the imperial edict that no one dared to remove.

!!!

This imperial edict that had been posted for more than half a month was taken over by a sloppy little girl?

You should know that providing false information can result in beheading.

Is she crazy about money or does she really want to die?

"Wow, ten thousand taels of gold!"

Sophie picked up the imperial edict and looked at it carefully. She didn't expect that she was so valuable.

How many braised duck legs can I buy with this?

???

So you haven't even seen it yet, just reveal it first?

Everyone was ashamed.

Ignoring the various looks from the crowd, Sophie took the coveted imperial edict and happily went home to collect the reward.

As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family.

Lin Yinghao is honest to begin with, so where could he get the 100,000 taels of gold?

If she saved this huge sum of money for Lin Yinghao, Lin Yinghao would think she was sensible.

What is the value of this friendship? Isn’t it just rolling in?

With great expectations in her heart, Sophie happily ran into the gate of the Lin Mansion.

"Where did you come from, little beggar? Get out of here!"

The guard at the door stopped Sophie.

[Ding! Your image offends the guards on Passerby A, and your beauty value is -1.]

???

It turns out that the points have not been earned yet, but have been deducted first.

"Brother, take a good look at who I am."

Sophie stroked the hair by her ears with both hands, and the system prompt sounded again.

[Ding! My image has caused serious disgust among Passerby A Guards, and my beauty value has been reduced by 5.]

I’m gonna knock your uncle!

Sophie was so angry that she took out the imperial edict tucked under her arm.

She pointed at the portrait on the imperial edict with one hand and at her own face with the other.

"Understand?"

The guard then narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the disheveled woman in front of him.

"M-M-Ms.?!"

The guard cried for joy, dropped his weapon, and rushed into the hall howling.

This wave of reverse operations did not even give Sophie a chance to take advantage of the situation.

She sighed helplessly, picked up the weapon on the ground and walked in.

The soldier who broke into the hall to report was so excited that he couldn't speak. He pointed outside the door with one hand but was choked by saliva and coughed, his face turning red.

"What happened?"

Seeing this, Lin Yinghao stepped forward to ask, and Helian Yu and Helian Jin, who were originally discussing in the house, also stepped forward.

"Miss, she..."

"What happened to Wanwan?"

Lin Yinghao naturally thought that something had happened to Lin Qingwan who went to the kitchen to cook.

"It's not the Second Miss, it's..."

Before he could finish his words, Sophie came in with a big knife.

"How dare you, you idiot, injure my guards and trespass into my general's mansion?"
