Chapter 63: At the critical moment, it was the little princess who saved the master
Su Wanyan slept quite comfortably that night, mainly because she felt like she was sleeping in a warm ball. She thought it was Xiaowu who brought her a quilt, so she let her consciousness go and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
"Good morning!" As soon as Su Wanyan opened her eyes, she saw the dark circles under He Bo and Xiao Wu's eyes. She thought that they must have not slept well all night because of the assassination incident last night.
He Bo and Xiao Wu bowed to Su Wanyan and greeted her, "Good morning, Princess."
A group of guards also paid their respects to the little princess respectfully.
Because last night, they all heard from their master that it was the little princess who saved the master at the critical moment. If it weren't for the little princess's intervention, their master's fake coma from poisoning would have been exposed.
Su Wanyan looked at the ground. The bloodstains left by the killer had been cleaned up. Even the three killers had disappeared. She didn't ask any more questions. It was getting late and the officers would be here to pick up the people soon. He Bo had ordered someone to buy breakfast early and asked Su Wanyan to eat it quickly. The breakfast distributed by the officers was not suitable for human consumption at all.
Breakfast is a local specialty snack. At this time, in such an environment, you can eat a bowl of hot noodles and many delicious pastries and snacks. The aroma almost made the prisoners who woke up one after another in other cells faint from greed.
Knowing that the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion received special treatment from the officials, they had no choice but to watch helplessly.
Especially when he saw that not only Princess Xiao had exquisite food, but everyone else was eating meat buns, jealousy once again quietly emerged in his heart.
Fortunately, their breakfast was delivered at this time. Each person had a hard steamed bun. Maybe the steamed bun was too hard and hurt their teeth, so they were also given a few water bags filled with water.
If they had this kind of dry and hard steamed bun on a normal day, they would not even look at it, let alone eat it. But what they could smell was the sound of people in Prince Xiao's mansion slurping noodles and meat buns. In addition, they had not eaten dinner last night and had traveled all day, so they were tired and hungry. Who would want to complain about having a dry and hard steamed bun?
They ate the dry and hard steamed buns with water as quickly as possible, and then the officers who escorted them yesterday came in. The clanking sound of the shackles and handcuffs made their scalps numb.
They did not have the money to bribe the officers. Otherwise, if they had, they could secretly slip some money in and then find a way to remove the shackles when they arrived at the next city.
Not only does walking with shackles make it difficult to walk fast, but the iron also rubs against your skin, causing it to break.
The officers had a great night in the brothel last night, and they were in high spirits as they drove the group of people to their next destination.
Not every day they could rest in the dungeons of each city. It was also possible that someone in the team was delayed and failed to catch up with the key to the next city's gate, or the distance between the two cities was too far. In that case, they could only choose to rest in the grove next to the official road.
In such a situation, there were many birds and beasts in the forest. If someone was taken away by a bird or beast at night, the officers would not care whether he was dead or alive. Anyway, the exiles along the way would never arrive at the exile place in one go.
There are always a few who cannot endure the hardships on the road and die along the way.
There is another situation, which is encountering bandits and refugees. The refugees and bandits not only rob money but also rob people.
