Chapter 14 The Mysterious Man is Actually the Crown Prince of an Enemy Country?
Yun Zhaoxue entered the private room.
The red dates and the green branches looked at each other.
Green Branch gently advised, "Princess, times have changed. Let's keep a low profile until the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion is exonerated."
Mimicking the original owner's tone, Yun Zhaoxue arrogantly snorted, "What are you afraid of? I am a princess, who dares to touch me!"
This was a catchphrase that the original owner often used.
He slammed the teacup he was toying with onto the table with a loud "bang!"
Green Branch dared not persuade her any further and respectfully poured her tea.
The waiter came in to serve the dishes.
"Golden minced fish, crab stuffed orange, snow cloud soup, raw clam, and fairy soup, the young lady has served all five dishes."
After the waiter left.
Red Dates and Green Branches stood on either side of her, serving her food.
Yun Zhaoxue only focused on eating, tasting a bite of each dish.
The taste was pretty good, no worse than the seven-star hotels in the city.
After eating two bowls of rice, he was full and wiped his lips with a handkerchief.
"Not bad. You can finish the rest, don't waste it." Yun Zhaoxue walked to the window and looked at the street scene outside.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, one's hearing and eyesight become sharp, as if one has gained the ability to see a thousand miles and hear the wind, even hearing the subtle sounds of roof tiles.
Inside the restaurant, customers drank, played drinking games, and chatted, while on the street, various vendors hawked their wares, creating a noisy atmosphere.
An ordinary person would never hear it; the other party is a master of light-body skills.
She was coming from next door; when she went upstairs just now, there was a curious gaze fixed on her from next door.
There might be a fierce battle later, so it's best to run away first.
"Eat quickly, we still need to go to Jinluge to buy a dress."
Upon hearing this, the two quickly stood up and wiped their mouths with handkerchiefs, saying, "Miss, we're full."
"Then let's go."
I went downstairs to pay the bill, which came to five taels of silver.
Jinlu Pavilion.
The three-story vermilion building has eaves that soar into the clouds, and golden bells on the eaves ring softly in the wind.
The first floor's open hall was decorated with silks and brocades of various colors, while the second floor's elegant pavilions were adorned with Suzhou embroidery and Sichuan brocade. Merchants and gentry were welcome to enter.
The top floor was reserved for the wives of officials of the first and second ranks, female relatives of the imperial family, and ladies of noble birth.
Similar to VIP users in the previous life.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed across the street; they were from the Imperial City Guard.
It looks like they're arresting someone.
Upon entering the Golden Thread Pavilion, one's gaze falls upon the snow-blue silk skirt, its body flowing smoothly like water, with delicate intertwined floral patterns embroidered on the neckline.
This is quite nice, and it suits her personality.
The shopkeeper saw that she liked it and let her try it on.
The moment the curtain was lifted, a dagger was pressed against his neck.
"Give me the dress, I want to wear it myself." Yun Zhaoxue reached out and took the dress, then lowered the curtain.
"Hero, spare my life!"
She had completely forgotten that today was the day Yun Jiaoyue met Wanyan Zonglie, the fourth prince of the enemy country.
I don't remember this part of the story because it was only mentioned briefly in the original book.
Yun Jiaoyue helped him cover up and became his savior. On the day she did so, she also wore a veil and introduced herself as a young lady from the Marquis's mansion.
In the original book, six months later, Wanyan Zonglie led his troops to capture the capital, looting the city and causing his soldiers to rape and plunder. The imperial family, ministers, and their relatives were escorted back to Stone City to be forced into servitude.
The original owner, who had been pampered since childhood, couldn't bear being a prisoner. In order to live a life of luxury, he took Yun Jiaoyue's place and became her savior.
Yun Zhaoxue blinked and closed her eyes in fear, her eyelashes trembling. Her hands, clutching her clothes, tightened, and her body shook. "Hero, please, please don't kill me! I am the second young lady of the Yunyang Marquis's mansion. My father will give you as much money as you want..."
Last time, the original owner stole her life-saving grace; this time, she should repay it.
Wanyan Zonglie felt her pulse but couldn't detect any internal energy. "You don't know martial arts?"
"Martial arts? What martial arts? I don't know martial arts. Let me go. Men and women shouldn't touch each other..." Yun Zhaoxue blinked and struggled to pull her hand back.
I was just thinking about whether or not to kill him.
He wasn't a good person either; the downfall of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was inextricably linked to him.
Suddenly, a commotion arose downstairs. It was the Imperial City Guard who had followed him to the Golden Thread Pavilion, and a group of people barged into the women's changing room.
The women, who had just changed their clothes, came out and saw a group of men rushing in carrying their clothes. They screamed in fright, "Ah! Why are there men here? Get out! Get out!"
"Do you know who I am? I am the legitimate daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue!"
"My father was a scholar in the Hanlin Academy."
"My father is the Imperial Censor."
...
For the Crown Princess's birthday banquet, the families of the officials who received the invitation all came to buy new clothes for the banquet, and Jinlu Pavilion was the first choice.
The Imperial City Guard officer clasped his hands in greeting, "I didn't want to disturb the ladies, but someone saw enemy spies break into the second floor and search the empty rooms! They were not allowed to peek."
"yes!"
I searched all the empty changing rooms, but couldn't find it.
"Reporting, sir, there is none!"
The Imperial City Guards left without finding the person.
Yun Zhaoxue removed the dagger from her neck and secretly applied a sleeping potion to it.
It is also said that he focused his attention on the Imperial City Guard outside, and secretly took out a square soft sponge from his space and pressed it onto the jade pendant at his waist.
"Good sir, they're gone. May I go now? If I don't leave, my maid will get suspicious. I promise I won't tell anyone."
Wanyan Zonglie put down the dagger, a slight smile playing on his lips.
What an interesting and remarkable woman.
Is she the second young lady of the Marquis of Yunyang's mansion?
They will meet again.
Yun Zhaoxue took the clothes and went out.
Red Date asked curiously, "Miss, you haven't changed your clothes yet?"
"Go pay the money and leave it here. Have the shopkeeper give it to the second young lady."
The clothes were also given to Yun Jiaoyue, confirming her status as her savior.
Yun Zhaoxue sent two maids to pay the bill.
The Imperial City Guard is still searching the nearby alleys.
She followed someone into the alley.
Before long, all the Imperial City Guards rushed upstairs, and the sounds of fighting erupted from upstairs.
"Bang!"
A figure burst through the window and leaped downstairs, rolling several times on the ground.
He stood up, clutching his injured arm, and ran away.
"Stop! Don't run! Catch him!" The Imperial Guards jumped out of the window and gave chase.
Yun Zhaoxue, "..."
How could someone who's been given the strongest sleeping potion still be able to fight and run?
Is the medicine expired?
Or were the ancients just too physically strong?
A carriage sped past at the fork in the road ahead, and Wanyan Zonglie jumped onto it.
The carriage quickly disappeared from sight.
