"Shi Jiu, do you think that without my appearance, King Rui will be able to live his life safely?" As he said these words, Mu Qian Xue's face no longer had any hint of a smile, and his expression was exceptionally solemn.

Although he could hear the hidden meaning behind Mu Qian Xue's words, Shi Jiu still answered without thinking: "Of course."

"You are wrong. In fact, from two years ago, King Rui was always in danger. There was not a single moment of peace or stability." There was another sentence that Mu Qian Xue had yet to say. It was dangerous … Or very early, not just in the last two years.

Her words, were like a fantasy in Shi Jiu's ears, he shook his head: "How is that possible, you're talking nonsense."

The one bringing danger to the King Rui is none other than you. To be precise, the one bringing danger to the entire King Rui is you!

This time, Shi Jiu reacted quickly, and was able to guess the meaning of her words, "You mean Camping?"

"That's right, the Camping is like a double-edged sword to the King Rui. Even if you kill the enemy, you might be able to harm yourself." Before his voice fell, Shi Jiu had sternly rejected it, "Everyone in Camping is extremely loyal to the Prince, and they would definitely not harm Prince."

Shi Jiu said in a disapproving tone: "So what, the freedom to teach Camping is mine."

"But Emperor Zhou would not think that way." He lightly threw a small pebble into the pool and said, "If I'm not wrong, Emperor Zhou must have sent people to search for traces of Camping in these past two years. There is no such thing as a wall without wind in this world, and he will find out about this sooner or later; when that time comes, what do you think Emperor Zhou will do?"

Shi Jiu's heart skipped a beat, a hint of worry was picked up by her words, and he said stubbornly: "This is Emperor Cheng's legacy, even if Emperor Zhou is unwilling, he can only comply."

Mu Qian Xue sneered, "If it's really like this, then before Emperor Cheng dies, she wouldn't remind me repeatedly to not tell anyone about this Camping, and even tell his matriarch to hide this matter."

Shi Jiu was rendered speechless by her words. That was right, Emperor Cheng was clearly afraid of someone, could it be … Was it the Emperor Zhou? But wasn't the Emperor Zhou the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the Lord of the Northern Week?

Without waiting for her to understand, Mu Qian Xue's words once again came into her ears, "How can we allow others to sleep while lying on the side of the bed? If the matter regarding the Camping is exposed, then the life of the King Rui will come to an end. I know that the Camping are all extraordinary and do not fear death.

"If you don't believe me, you can just wait. But if you lose the bet, the only thing you will lose is the lives of King Rui and the entire Camping."

Shi Jiu clenched his fingers tightly, trying his best to stop his trembling, the result was that he trembled even more fiercely, like a leaf in a cold wind, whether it was his face or lips, they were all pale white without a trace of blood.

After an unknown period of time, she looked at Mu Qian Xue and asked tremblingly: "Is there any way to help Prince resolve this crisis?"

"This is what I want you and Shi Wu to do. I want to know everything about the Emperor Zhou, the more detailed the better. Only by knowing everything about the other party can we formulate a strategy."

Without even thinking, Shi Jiu nodded his head and said, "Alright, Shi Wu and I will do our best to investigate. I will tell you the moment there is any news."

Mu Qian Xue raised the corner of her lips, "If you had been more patient and listened to me out of the blue, how would you have reacted like this? Then fifty whips …"

"It doesn't matter." Shi Jiu said indifferently: "I am different from you. Since I was young, receiving punishment is a common thing for me. I can even withstand a mere fifty lashes. As long as Prince is fine, I don't mind taking five hundred whips. " She said that last sentence very softly, but Mu Qian Xue still heard it and a sigh soundlessly rang out from the bottom of her heart …

He didn't know what was going on.

"Are you alright?" Shi Jiu asked with an uneasy expression.

Mu Qian Xue tried her best to take a few breaths, extended her hand and said weakly: "I think it's because of the wind, it's okay, but I'm afraid I have to trouble you to help me go back."

"I don't know why your body is so weak. You can cough at any time, and you even need someone to support you when you walk. Truly useless." Although he was complaining, Shi Jiu still walked over and held onto Mu Qian Xue's cold and wet hands. He helped her up and slowly walked towards the east yard.

During the night, Shi Wu was ordered to come to the east yard to see Mu Qian Xue. When he found out that they were going to investigate the Emperor Zhou, he was surprised, and when he heard the analysis of the pros and cons from Mu Qian Xue, he became worried.

Before their departure, Mu Qian Xue had warned them to not tell anyone, including Dong Fang Su, about this matter until they had investigated thoroughly!

The next day, when the morning light shone through the paper glued to the window and into the house, Mu Qian Xue slowly opened her eyes. When she got up to look, she saw that the benzoin s had already died, but there was still a lingering fragrance coming from the house.

After escaping from Ying Tian, she slept the best, and after going to sleep, she jumped off of her shoes. Coincidentally, Xia Yue walked in with water in her hands, and when she saw Mu Qian Xue who had already stood up, her round face immediately became troubled. She placed down the copper bowl of water and walked forward: "Princess, are you coughing so much that you can't fall asleep?"

All along the way, Mu Qian Xue had not been able to sleep well. She slept lightly but was easily awakened. When she met with a cough, she could not sleep all night; last night when she was resting with the Princess, she heard it a few times.

How could Mu Qian Xue not see her worry? Laughing, she said, "I slept very well last night, and just woke up. This benzoin is very good, do you still have it?"

Hearing her words, Xia Yue calmed down and nodded with a smile. "Yes, there was a full box sent by Prince last night, which was enough for me to use for a few months."

"King Rui?" Mu Qian Xue was surprised: "You went to find him?"

"Nope." Xia Yue sprinkled some salt on the gauze as she replied: "Last night, after Princess left, this servant was cleaning up the bedding. When Tsai came over, he said that Prince had instructed him to send it over, and said that it was for the imperial concoction and that it was the best way to rest one's mind and body. It seems that it's quite good now, he even sent some silver notes over, and this servant has them all.

Dong Fang Su...

Mu Qian Xue silently recited it in her heart. It was actually filled with a myriad of emotions, and she was unable to say what exactly it felt like.
