"Be a concubine?" Just as Nangong Muyun was about to enter the palace, she blocked him at the door and said some inexplicable words.

"I know that I am of low status and dare not aspire to be a princess. But my wife once told me that no one is born lowly."

Nangong Muyun frowned, glared at Youwei and asked him if it was his doing.

Youwei was really wronged. He just said some words to comfort her at that time and didn't mention whether to take a concubine or not.

"Miss Xia, I think you have misunderstood. I haven't married a princess yet, so how can I take a concubine?"

"Yes, yes, Miss Xia, you must have misunderstood. Our prince has always been a clean man and would never take a concubine before the princess is married." Youwei quickly responded and said, "Besides, now that something like this has happened, it's really not the time to talk about these things."

This seemed to be saying that the matter of drugging had not been properly resolved and the Ninth Prince did not want to involve her.

Sure enough, when Xia Xuejian heard this, she felt relieved.

"Your Majesty, is Ye Qingwan making things difficult for you? Are they trying to use this incident to force Your Majesty to submit?"

Nangong Muyun frowned even deeper, and was clearly a little angry: "Miss Xia, this is between Ye Qingwan and me, you'd better not interfere."

It was indeed Ye Qingwan. This woman was really abominable.

Not only did she use despicable means to plot against the prince, but now that the truth has been revealed, she even turned the tables and did whatever she wanted by relying on the fact that she is the daughter of the current prime minister.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am a witness to this matter. If the Ye family makes things difficult for you, I am willing to testify for Your Majesty."

"No need, you should take care of yourself first."

What Nangong Muyun meant was that it was not your turn to meddle in the king’s affairs, so you should save yourself the trouble.

But from what Xia Xuejian heard, it turned out that the Ninth Prince was afraid that she would be troubled by the Ye family and did not want her to be involved in this matter.

He was clearly worried about her safety.

So his attitude towards her suddenly changed 180 degrees. In fact, he was afraid of implicating her and did not want to involve her in the struggle with the Ye family.

After all, Ye Qingwan's father was the prime minister of the dynasty, with tremendous power, and she was a concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official. If the Ye family wanted to deal with her, she would have no power to fight back.

The culprit is Ye Qingwan.

"Ninth Prince, you don't have to worry about me. It would be my fault if I let you succumb to those villains for me.

Section 19

When I have dealt with my personal affairs, I will report this matter to the emperor truthfully. I don’t believe that there is no law under the emperor’s feet, and that the Ye family can really cover the sky with one hand.”

Xia Xuejian gritted her teeth and stood firm.

Nangong Muyun was stunned by what she said. What did this have to do with anything?

We were just talking about our business, why did it involve Ye Qingwan?

Do we still need to report to the emperor?

Did you not take your medicine?

"Don't mess around..."

Xia Xuejian stopped him and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I know my limits."

After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for Nangong Muyun to continue speaking. His back looked thin but strong.

Nangong Muyun narrowed his eyes and asked Youwei: "What does she want to do?"

"I don't know." Youwei shook his head: "But Miss Xia must like the prince very much. I have investigated and Miss Xia is a cautious person. Even at home, she always behaves in a humble manner just to avoid trouble."

"But now, for the sake of the prince, she, a concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official, is willing to offend the prime minister and risk her life to clear the prince's name. The prince must not let down such a loving woman."

Youwei had unknowingly been moved by her kindness, tenacity and deep affection.

Nangong Muyun really wanted to knock open Youwei's brain to see if it was filled with rice milk.

What kind of deep affection is that? It's clearly an attempt to make me unhappy.

If she really spreads this matter, then wouldn't I have no reason to ask my father to grant him a marriage with Ye Qingwan?

This woman is really capable of doing bad things.

But why did Youwei think that her trouble-making nature was deeply affectionate?

Is there any connection between the two?

Is it because she is the heroine that they all have to revolve around her?

Nangong Muyun asked himself, if there were no strange subtitles, would he feel like Youwei that everything Xia Xuejian did was out of deep affection?

It seemed like it would really happen. After all, when he first met Xia Xuejian, he was inexplicably moved by her fragility and wanted to protect her...

The setting of the novel is really terrifying.

Bandits, you should be captured by her and made his concubines. I swear that I will never save her.

Just harm each other and grow old together.

"Youwei..." He was still worried about the situation and was ready to do something, but when he thought of Youwei's praise for Xia Xuejian...

"My Lord, what do you want me to do?"

"It's okay. Go and harness the carriage first."

After Youwei left, Nangong Muyun beckoned for a personal guard and whispered, "Go find a few people whose identities can't be found, and after Xia Xuejian leaves the city, tie her up and throw her to the bandits in Phoenix Mountain."

Ye Qingwan was sitting on the horse and was very uncomfortable from the bumpy ride.

"Master, why don't we take a carriage?"

It's hot and sunny, you're just asking for trouble.

"The carriage is too conspicuous. In Phoenix Mountain, there are only bandits and local farmers. No one rides a carriage. If we go in so ostentatiously, we will be targeted by bandits as soon as we enter Phoenix Mountain."

"The farmers don't ride horses. Those who ride horses are either bandits or outsiders. Wouldn't they recognize them at a glance?"

"It seems so." Liu Sheng looked as if what you said made sense.

Seeing this, Ye Qingwan wanted to kick him. You did this on purpose, right? You just want to play a trick on me?

She just didn't understand. The main plot now was Xia Xuejian entering Phoenix Mountain. There was no role for him at all. Why did he show up?

It’s okay to steal the spotlight, but why don’t you go find the heroine to improve your relationship with her? Why are you coming to me?

Have you ever seen a male protagonist develop a relationship with a vicious female villain?

So annoying.

However, when she thought that his coming to find her would at least not interfere with Xia Xuejian's main storyline, she was not so angry anymore.

As long as the main storyline makes sense, the novel will not be broken. As for the rest, let him deal with it.

"Master, would you like some tea?"

When Ye Qingwan saw a tea stall on the side of the road, she suddenly felt dry in the mouth.

Liu Sheng agreed, and the two of them sat at the simple table and chairs, ordered two bowls of tea and some food.

As soon as the tea was served, Ye Qingwan gulped down the

He drank two large bowls in one gulp.

Comfortable!

"Before Xia Xuejian left the city, she went to see the Ninth Prince."

Ye Qingwan raised her head: "How do you know?"

Liu Sheng waved the carrier pigeon in his hand towards her.

Ye Qingwan was happy. That was great. The Jinyiwei were worthy of being the Jinyiwei. They had global Bluetooth coverage and messages would be delivered as soon as possible.

"What is she looking for Brother Mu Yun for? How shameless! She is about to go into the mountains, but she is still trying to flirt with Brother Mu Yun."

"Say goodbye. The two of them talked to each other for a long time."

Huh?! Really?!

Have you confided in each other?

Good job, Nangong Muyun, you are worthy of being the male lead, awesome.

This is what the male protagonist should do. After a while, he has fallen in love with the female protagonist. Why don't you two just get married right here.

She was worried before that Nangong Muyun’s feelings for Xia Xuejian had not yet developed that deep, and he might not come to save her. Now she doesn’t have to worry at all.

Ye Qingwan swallowed her heart and abandoned all the countermeasures she had originally thought of. She went into the mountain with peace of mind and waited for the plot to develop smoothly.
