At the foot of the palace wall.
The Emperor sat on the eight-wheeled dragon chariot and looked at the broken iron railings outside the Changshui River. His hands were trembling unconsciously.
More than two hundred people, including Consort Bin, attendants, eunuchs, and palace maids, all lowered their voices and did not dare to breathe too loudly. The scene was silent.
"Phew…"
Taking a deep breath, the Emperor tried his best to keep his voice steady.""In the Great Yan Empire, in the past thousand years, there has never been a princess escaping from the palace. I actually managed to catch up."
No one dared to reply.
Even the most favored concubines did not dare to get into trouble at this time.
The scene fell into silence once again.
The Emperor closed his eyes slightly and said calmly,""How many eunuchs are guarding Princess Mi Youxiang?”
An old eunuch on the left side of the emperor's carriage stepped forward and said respectfully,""Replying to the emperor, including the servants of the Jade Palace, there are a total of 87 people.”
"Are they all locked up?"
"Emperor, they're all locked up."
"Yes." The Emperor nodded and slowly opened his eyes.""All of them, dismembered."
Everyone present trembled.
The old eunuch was terrified and quickly knelt down."Yes, sir!"
"There's more." The Emperor pointed outside the palace walls and said,"Seal off the Imperial City." Protect Jun Ying into the city, search for Mi Youxiang and her accomplices throughout the entire journey. Which civilian dares to hide? Kill nine families!”
"Yes!" The old eunuch kowtowed again. Your Majesty!"
The current Dayan Emperor was already furious to the extreme.
There was only one chance to sacrifice once a year.
The list of ten princesses had been decided half a year ago. According to the rules, it could not be changed no matter what.
In other words, the sacrificial ritual of offering a daughter to beg for a child had failed…
To the Emperor, this was even more unacceptable than the rebellion of the border officials.
"Honey pomelo fragrance…"
"Honey pomelo fragrance…"
The Emperor kept muttering this name as he clenched his fists.
……
Outside the Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial City.
Qin Mu and Mi Youxiang had already changed their clothes in an empty house.
The eunuch's uniform was thrown into a cloth bag and was about to be thrown into the river.
The dust on Mi Youxiang's face had long been washed away by the river water. At this moment, she was wearing an ordinary civilian's dress, but she actually looked extraordinary and refined. Qin Mu couldn't help but be stunned.
" You…why are you looking at me like that…" When Mi Youxiang saw Qin Mu staring at her without blinking, her face flushed red as she lowered her head and asked timidly.
"It's nothing." Qin Mu came back to his senses and said with a serious expression,""I just suddenly understood why there are no fish in Changshui River.”
"W-why?" Pomelo asked curiously.
"It's all because of you.”
Pomelo Xiang tilted her head and pondered for a long while before she was stunned. She realized that Qin Mu was praising her for 'sinking fish and falling geese.' She hurriedly covered her face and her ears turned red as she stomped her feet."You…"
She was just a princess who had grown up in the palace reading books and planting flowers. How could she withstand Qin Mu's teasing? She wished she could crawl into the cracks in the ground.
Qin Mu found it interesting and chuckled for a while. He looked at the sky outside and said seriously,""We're not out of danger yet, we have to leave quickly.”
Pomelo Fragrance was still covering her face, feeling her entire body go soft.
"Do you need me to carry you?" Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No…no need!" Mi Youxiang hurriedly put down her hands and shook her head with a red face.
"Then hurry up." As he spoke, Qin Mu took out a veil from the house and handed it to Mi Youxiang."Put this on."
"Alright." Mi Youxiang took the scarf and put it on her face impatiently. She finally felt a lot less embarrassed.
Qin Mu walked out of the house with the honey pomelo fragrance and muttered in his heart,""System, how much time is left before we leave this world?”
[Time remaining: 7 hours 57 minutes]
"Nearly eight hours…"
After pondering for a moment, Qin Mu continued asking,""System, after returning, do I still need to spend Underworld Coins to come to this world?”
After returning, the space-time coordinates would be erased. Unless special tools were used, the chances of re-entering would be one in six trillion.
" One trillionth?!" Qin Mu was shocked." Doesn't this mean that I can't enter this world after I return?"”
Correct. Normally, one could only enter each world once.
As Qin Mu walked, he turned back to take a look at the pomelo fragrance. He frowned and asked,""What special tools do you need?"
Unknown. Host, please explore it yourself.
" Then..." Qin Mu subconsciously tightened his grip on Pomelo's hand and continued asking,""Can you bring others back to the real world?”
The Graveyard Master could only bring back corpses and non-living objects from all over the world.
“……”
Qin Mu suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Mi Youxiang was immediately puzzled. She opened her big watery eyes and tilted her little head as she asked,"Why did you stop?"
Qin Mu was silent for a long while before shaking his head. He continued to walk forward while holding Mi Youxiang's hand.
"It's nothing."
