Chapter 54: The Cold King's Abandoned Concubine (Twenty-nine)



In order to prevent Sophie from escaping, Xiao Ming not only sealed her internal energy but also locked her in the house.

Sophie secretly spent 100 magic points to exchange for a perspective spell to find out where she is now.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you do.

There were three layers of guards standing outside the house, inside and outside.

There were also patrols constantly moving around in the courtyard.

Their clothing and appearance are roughly the same as Tianyuan's, but with slight differences.

Sophie immediately realized that she was now in the territory of Nanxun, a neighboring country of Tianyuan.

Nanxun, located southeast of Tianyuan, possesses military and financial resources comparable to Tianyuan.

The two countries have always tacitly maintained the principle of peaceful coexistence.

Now that Xiao Ming appeared here, it was obvious that he had an unknown cooperative relationship with Nanxun, which might be related to the restoration of the country.

At that time, there will naturally be a scene of great fighting and rivers of blood.

If she could successfully stop this war and protect the people on both sides from the suffering of war, wouldn't that be a great merit?

Are you still worried that the remaining 10 points of malice will not be enough to offset it?

The more Sophie thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

She couldn't wait to interfere and stop Xiao Ming and Nan Xun from working together.

Suddenly, he was troubled by the locked door in front of him.

Don’t underestimate this locked door, because in fact, Xiao Ming’s heart door is also locked!

Apart from a brief meeting when he first woke up that day, Sophie hadn't seen him for several days.

It’s better to seal your heart and love completely, and cut off all emotions and righteousness.

But then again, why did Xiao Ming choose to cooperate with Nanxun?

After all, in the original plot, Helian Jue's biological mother was the eldest princess who was sent to Tianyuan by Nanxun to marry.

In the later period, the soldiers he brought to Tianyuan to force the emperor to abdicate were all from Nanxun.

So Xiao Ming stole the second male lead role from Helian Jue?

Recalling the cruel methods Helian Jue used to treat betrayers in the original drama, Sophie felt her scalp tingling and she was overwhelmed.

While my thoughts were in chaos, a figure stopped in front of the closed door.

With a "click", the locked door opened.

Zi Yi walked in personally carrying the food.

"It's time to eat."

She put the food in her hand on the table unhappily.

Some soup accidentally splashed out and spilled onto Sophie's skirt.

Sophie's dark eyes rolled, and she immediately had an idea.

"Sister Ziyi, my skirt is dirty and I want to change clothes before eating. Could you please close the door first and turn your back? I'm shy."

"We're all women, what's there to be ashamed of? It's really troublesome!"

Zi Yi said she was disgusted, but her actions were quite cooperative.

It happened in a flash. The moment Zi Yi turned her back, Sophie gathered all her strength and slapped her on the back of the neck.

Zi Yi didn't even make a groan, and fell limply into Sophie's arms.

"I'm sorry, Sister Ziyi, but what I'm about to do this time is a matter of life and death for the country!"

Sophie's righteous speech successfully avoided being caught by the system and having points deducted.

After she swiftly changed into Zi Yi's clothes, she wrote, directed and performed a large-scale play about a quarrel between two women.

"How dare you serve me such a disgusting dish?"

"Why do you eat so much even though it tastes so bad?"

"How can this be possible!"

Amid the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and shattering, Sophie covered her "beaten" face, slammed the door and walked out of the house.

"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out! Why don't you lock the door and keep an eye on him?!"

Sophie is throwing a tantrum online.

The guards shrank their necks, clearly accustomed to Miss Ziyi's decisiveness. Not daring to ask further questions, they obediently locked the door again.

Sophie snorted coldly and turned away.

After being trapped for so many days, I finally escaped.

Sophie felt secretly delighted.

She quickly ran towards the gate.

Xiao Ming, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared behind her mysteriously.

"Zi Yi? Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Sophie's steps froze in an instant.

"Brother Ming, Ziyi has a stomachache after eating something. I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet so I won't say any more!"

After saying that, she held her belly and continued walking forward.

He looked extremely impatient.

"Wait a moment."

Xiao Ming called out to her again to stop her, and Sophie's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"You're so anxious you're losing your mind. The toilet is on your right."

"Thank you, Brother Ming, for reminding me. Ziyi was really confused!"

Sophie thanked him with a smile, then turned and walked to the right following Xiao Ming's instructions.

She didn't see the mysterious look in Xiao Ming's eyes behind her.

Relying on her memory of the terrain she had seen before, Sophie successfully climbed over the wall behind the toilet and successfully arrived at the main street of Nanxun Imperial City.

She found a deserted place and took off the clothes she had taken from Zi Yi.

But in a moment, everything changed.

Sophie walked out of the alley again with a brisk pace.

The roadside food stall with Nanxun characteristics caught her attention.

It just so happens that I didn’t have lunch today, so it won’t be too late to have a meal before getting down to business.

For good reason.

Sophie waved and ordered a bowl of fish noodles and ate it with relish.

"Boss, another bowl!"

"Okay, girl!"

The rice noodle shop owner had never seen such enthusiastic customers before. They ate the two big bowls of vegetarian noodles with great relish.

He generously gave her a bowl of fish balls.

"Thank you, boss, I hope you'll be rich!"

Sophie casually replied with auspicious words.

It was not until the moment she swallowed the last fish ball that she sadly remembered that she was penniless.

It's like there's not even a penny left.

He looked at the empty plate in front of him, then raised his head to look at the boss's expectant face.

Sophie grinned.

In the government prison cell, Sophie sat cross-legged on a pile of straw.

I never expected that the first time I went to jail was because of a free meal.

Not only did she lose 5 innocence points, but she also wasted time doing her work.

Is it too late to spit it out now?

"Hey, you're eating a free meal inside. I've arranged a job for you, come with me."

The warden opened the cell door and motioned Sophie to follow him out.

According to the Nanxun Criminal Law, people who dine and dash must earn a hundred times the cost of the meal through labor before they can be released.

Sophie spent a total of 30 coins on this meal, which meant that she had to earn 3 taels of silver before she could leave completely.

It just so happened that the Nanxun Palace was short of a few temporary workers to do odd jobs, so Sophie was stuffed into the team entering the palace.

"Hey, have you heard? There's a big shot coming to the palace recently."

"What big shot?"

"I don't know. I just heard it came from Tianyuan next door."

"From Tianyuan?"

"Yes, I heard that the situation between the two countries has not been very good recently. I don't know whether this visit is a blessing or a curse..."

The four temporary workers who were walking together gathered together to chat.

This made Sophie, who had originally closed her eyes to conserve her strength, instantly give up the idea of ​​escaping halfway.

So, Helian Jue also came to Nanxun? !
