Just as Xia Yue was about to speak up, she was interrupted by Mu Qian Xue, "It was also because of Miss Shi Jiu's concern for Prince that he lost control of himself for a moment, and it was not with malice in his heart. If Prince were to reprimand her for this, it would be disheartening.

Dong Fang stared at her for a moment, and said: "Since Princess has pleaded for his, then let us do as Princess says."

When helping Mu Qian Xue into the fire, Xia Yue muttered to herself: "Princess, why did you plead for her? If I had to say, Prince should reprimand her ruthlessly, she has given us a lot of face along the way."

Xia Yue pouted: "But she's really annoying, and I don't know why Prince brought a maid to the West Chu for no reason, nor do they feel that it's troublesome."

"Prince has his reasons for doing this." Mu Qian Xue glanced at the busy Shi Jiu through the cracks in the kitchen curtain and said, "On the other hand, you need to argue with Shi Jiu less from now on."

Xia Yue said with grievance: "Every time it was her who was in the wrong. Why is Princess blaming this servant instead?"

Mu Qian Xue caressed her hair that was rough from running around for so many days, "This is for your own good."

Xia Yue didn't know, but she was very clear that although Shi Jiu's maid looked like it was on the surface, he was actually a The people of the god's camp. Otherwise, Dong Fang Su wouldn't have brought his along.

The The people of the god's camp had been isolated from the world since young, and in their minds, there were no differences between right and wrong. Besides their master, they could kill anyone else, even their companions.

Once Shi Jiu's murderous intent was aroused, he would be in danger.

"For me?" Xia Yue blinked his clear black and white eyes, revealing a look of confusion.

"Don't ask too much. Just remember what I said." Seeing that Mu Qian Xue was unwilling to say more, Xia Yue could only nod her head and agree, as she thought about what she had to say.

Shi Jiu scooped up a bowl of the snow-white fish soup and handed it over to Dong Fang Su. The latter shook his head and said, "Give it to Princess first."

"Yes." Although Shi Jiu was unwilling, he still did as he was told and went in front of Mu Qian Xue, "I did whatever I wanted, but I don't know if it suits Princess's appetite."

Mu Qian Xue took the bowl and laughed: "Miss Shi Jiu is proficient in cooking, the fish soup must be delicious, how can it not suit your appetite?"

Shi Jiu's eyes flashed slightly, "All along the way here, I have never cooked anything. How did Princess know that my cooking skills were good?" All along, she had only called himself "servant" in front of Dong Fang Su.

Mu Qian Xue took a sip of the thick and snow-white fish soup and said gently: "Expert, you will know whether or not you have made a move. Looking at Miss Shi Jiu's actions, you will know that he is a person who is proficient in culinary arts. "It's delicious."

"Since Princess likes it, then drink more." After saying that, Shi Jiu went back into the kitchen and scooped a bowl for Dong Fang Su.

It was fortunate that they had a place to shelter themselves from the wind and rain; otherwise, after a night of rain, not to mention Mu Qian Xue whose body was extremely weak, even Xia Yue and Jiang Yue would probably be sick from the cold.

In the middle of the night, Shi Jiu, who was curled up sleeping beside Dong Fang Su, opened his eyes in the darkness. He silently stared at Mu Qian Xue, who was sleeping on the other side with Xia Yue, and his pair of pitch black eyes flashed with an exceptionally complex light.

After a long while, Shi Jiu retracted his gaze and was about to lower his long feathered eyelashes again, when suddenly, a chill went down his spine.

As they had been trained in the Camping since they were young, besides having mastered all kinds of martial arts, their senses and senses were all sharper than ordinary people.

Who is it? Could it be that Mu Qian Xue had discovered him?

Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked towards Mu Qian Xue without leaving a trace. Borrowing the flickering silver light, she could clearly see that and the latter were fast asleep, there were no traces of her opening her eyes.

Who could it be?

Prince and Shi Wu definitely would not do the same to them. In that case, there was only one person left …

When he woke up in the morning, the rain had stopped. It was after the rain on the mountain road that the mud was difficult to travel and the speed was more than two times slower than in the previous two days. Fortunately, he was close to the Qi's border.

Originally, there were over a hundred families of commoners living there. In these ten years, the borders between the West Chu and the Qi were always peaceful, there had never been any wars, allowing the commoners to live and work in peace, reproducing and reproducing. Now, it had expanded to more than two hundred households, and from time to time, it was possible to see axmen who were carrying firewood, and some farmers who had just returned from farming.

Mu Qian Xue's appearance was simply too outstanding, once it was exposed to the masses, it would easily cause a sensation in the village, thus, before leaving the desolate mountain forest, she had covered her face with a light veil.

Shi Jiu took some crushed silver and exchanged it with some steamed buns. Just as they were sharing the food, a middle-aged man walked past them quickly. Not long after, he was stopped by a axman who had just walked down the mountain, "Where is Ox Bro going?"

"I heard that the village chief has caught a group of criminals. I plan to go and take a look."

"Prisoners? "What, did someone in our village commit a crime?"

Brother Niu said mysteriously, "This has nothing to do with our village. I heard that more than a dozen criminals have been arrested from the south."

"South?" The axman frowned. "Could it be the Nanzhao?"

"That's right, I heard that they were from the Nanzhao's Royal Family, although they were able to escape death because they were not in the capital, they were caught, and when the soldiers escorted them past our village, they plotted to escape, planning to escape into the Qi, but unfortunately, the village head is familiar with the big and small roads of our village, so he helped to catch them before they managed to escape into the Qi. Hehe, this capture of the criminals, the Your Majesty might be happy, and if we reward the village, we will be rich."

"It really is possible." The axman laughed and replied, puzzled, "Speaking of which, the Your Majesty is for no reason, why must we destroy the Nanzhao? Our Queen is still the Princess, once the Nanzhao is destroyed, what can we do about the Queen?" This place was far away from the Ying Tian, so the news of Mu Qian Xue being wanted had not reached here.

Brother Niu scratched his head, "Who knows? It's not our place to worry about such things." After saying that, he urged, "Are you going or not? If not, then I'm leaving."

"Of course I'm going. I've lived for more than 30 years, but I've never seen anyone from Nanzhao before. I have to broaden my horizons. Let's go!" The two people in the distance didn't know that the "Queen Empress" they were talking about wasn't far behind them.
