Chapter 41 The Powerful Photographer vs. the Weak Substitute Daughter 3
"Will the prince send me back to the palace?"
She raised her head suddenly, and her hair hit his hand, and he naturally retracted it.
The broken and helpless eyes seemed to suddenly piece together, revealing the brilliance of a pearl.
Xi Chenmu looked at her intently and said in an ambiguous tone:
"will not."
The prince can control people's emotions with just a few words.
She lowered her head again, and this time, one could vaguely see that she was smiling, with faint swirls of smiles.
"Then you will be my savior from now on, and I will repay you."
Her voice was soft and gentle, yet full of power, the power to live.
What can an orphan girl repay him?
"There is new hot water over there, hurry up and wash." Xi Chenmu ignored the emotions in his heart, did not answer, turned around and walked out from behind the screen.
Lin Muqing changed a new bucket of water, took off her clothes, and washed them clean. She bit her lips to endure the pain the whole time. It was too painful to soak the wound in hot water, and some of the scabs were itchy, which was really torture.
Yun Yi knocked on the door outside the compartment.
"My Lord, I have bought the clothes."
Xi Chenmu took the pile of clothes, closed the door, walked behind the screen and spoke to her.
"Here's the clean clothes. Throw out your dirty ones."
He didn't stick his head out, but placed it on the wooden shelf inside through the screen.
Lin Muqing threw the clothes out without hesitation. This inexplicable trust made him pause and he curled his lips slightly.
He left the compartment again and handed the tattered, bloody clothes to the guard.
There was only one private room on the third floor, so there were only two of them at the door.
"Go, find a replacement for the dead person on that mountain road just now."
The low voice was full of majesty.
As the prince's close bodyguard, Yun Yi quickly understood what the prince meant. He did not ask any more questions, but just recalled the girl's appearance, took the tattered clothes and left.
As for Xi Chenmu's selfish motives, only he himself knows.
In the compartment.
Lin Muqing was surprised at how easy this man was to talk to. In the plot she had received, Xi Chenmu was a prince who seemed to be idle on the surface, but actually had accumulated a lot of power in private, and his personality was not so easy-going.
Unless there is an agenda.
As she thought, she washed herself, carefully avoiding the wounds that had not yet healed as she put on her clothes. Without a hair dryer, she could only use a towel to dry her hair. Then she rolled herself up and slowly walked out. She saw Xi Chenmu sitting at the round table in the room and bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness, please forgive my daughter's rudeness just now."
He turned around and saw that the girl in front of him looked like a completely different person after taking a bath. Her black hair was not completely dry yet, and the light pink dress on her body made her look indescribably charming and lively, like a startled little rabbit.
"Go lie down on the bed. I'll ask the doctor to come in and take a look." Xi Chenmu opened the door and went out.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Muqing obediently lay down on the bed.
After examining her, the doctor said that she just caught a cold and prescribed two prescriptions for her.
The shopkeeper took the initiative to ask me to go and boil the medicine.
For a moment, she and Xi Chenmu were the only ones left in the room. She turned around, facing away from him, and pretended to be asleep.
Xi Chenmu stood there for a while, and as if thinking of something, he turned around and walked out of the room.
Only then did Lin Muqing have time to sort out all the plots and memories.
The male protagonist in this world is not sick, but rather miserable. When he was born, he was predicted by the famous Huai'an master that he would have no children and was destined to be lonely.
Master Huai'an is proficient in metaphysics and fortune-telling. He has helped Emperor Jingyuan solve many problems. He travels all over the world. Emperor Jingyuan trusts Huai'an very much and does not suspect him. A son without an heir is useless.
Therefore, Xi Chenmu, who was supposed to be the empress's son, was abandoned by his father because he was infertile and lost the chance to become the crown prince.
Emperor Jingyuan turned to raising an eldest prince born to a concubine, and the eldest prince was the emperor who passed away today.
Because the news of Huai'an leaked out due to the manipulation of the imperial concubine, almost the entire capital knew that Xi Chenmu had a hidden illness and could not have children.
Xi Chenmu grew up under many people's strange looks. Both men and women would talk about him behind his back. After growing up, he no longer had any interest in women or human nature.
An indifferent or nonchalant attitude.
But he was capable and had great martial arts skills. At the age of fifteen, he left the capital alone because of a quarrel with the empress.
He traveled to several countries and slowly built up his own subordinates and power. Over a decade later, the power development became complicated and he was very indifferent to the imperial power and never participated in the court.
But who in the court is not afraid of him?
Anyone who dares to offend Prince Mu will eventually die quietly, and the scandals he committed during his lifetime will be inexplicably exposed.
It took many people several years to realize this common point, so they began to fear him and did not dare to look down on him or even criticize him just because he had no real power.
Xi Chenmu is a prince who seems to be powerless and difficult to control, but secretly everyone is afraid of him.
Emperor Yuan was very jealous of his brother who was thirteen years younger than him. Over the years, the secret guards he sent out to assassinate the other side always returned in vain and died without an intact body. Later, Emperor Yuan fell seriously ill and did not have much time left.
And today Emperor Yuan has passed away, and the four adult princes will begin to fight for power, and then one by one they will be murdered by each other.
It's a life-and-death fight.
In the end, only a three-year-old prince survived.
Xi Chenmu returned to the capital at this time just to do some superficial work to check on his brother's condition, but he did not expect to catch up with his brother's feast. When the crown prince and the princes were all dead, he became the regent by accident and assisted his three-year-old nephew in governing the country.
It's almost like he became emperor.
The original owner was the daughter of Minister Lin's concubine. She was only five days older than the principal wife's daughter, Lin Xiaoting, and they looked 50% similar, but their fates were completely different.
The original owner lived in the backyard for sixteen years and only went outside through a dog hole when she was five years old. No one else knew that the Lin family had a daughter like her.
One month ago.
Emperor Yuan has been seriously ill for half a year. Huai'an advised Emperor Yuan to find a woman born in a yang year, yang month, yang day and yang hour to enter the palace for good luck. Among so many noble ladies in the capital, Lin Xiaoting was chosen as the match.
Of course Minister Lin and Madam Lin were unwilling to do so. Everyone knew that entering the palace at this time would be tantamount to sending one's life to the imperial mausoleum.
In the end, the original owner was replaced by Minister Lin who threatened his aunt's life.
She concealed the truth on behalf of her sister, entered the palace, and was given the title of Shupin.
Fortunately, the emperor was really seriously ill. The original owner was only taken to see the emperor once. Before they could even speak, the emperor fainted again.
The concubines went to Tianyuan Temple to pray for the emperor. The original owner was also included in the praying team because of her special "Eight Characters".
