The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

As he spoke, he observed Xuanyuan Yuchuan's expression.

As expected, the emotions in his eyes suddenly froze for a moment.

But he quickly recovered and said calmly, "I understand."

"I'm sorry, I didn't complete what you asked me to do perfectly."

As soon as she finished speaking, her head was suddenly covered by a warm palm. Xuanyuan Yuchuan passed by her, and the warmth left on her head slowly disappeared as he left.

"Don't blame yourself, I knew this would happen."

These were his last words before he got on the carriage.

Hu Luanfei was not very clear about Bei Qiu's movements, or even the struggles between the concubines and princes. She had no intention of getting involved, and she did not really want to disrupt the situation.

At the same time, Zuihualou ushered in a victory and became the most popular restaurant of the year. The King of Beiqiu wrote an inscription in person and bestowed a plaque symbolizing honor - "First Class".

After receiving the plaque in a daze, she told Jiang Shi to go to Xifeng Mountain. She was absent-minded along the way, walking and stopping until she came to the willow bank.

The lake was rippling with clear water, and the cool wind blew against her green skirt embroidered with summer pink lotus. The willow trees on the shore were swaying happily, and a light and elegant fragrance wafted towards her face, and she took a deep breath.

At this time, a boat came on the lake. The old man on the boat rowed the boat and moved towards the willow bank little by little.

The old man had a grim smile on his face, like a flying knife in the twelfth lunar month.

Hu Luanfei felt uneasy and turned around immediately, but he was struck by dizziness and suddenly felt as if something had drained all his strength and he fell to the ground.

On the winter streets, there were few people near the willow bank. The old man stopped the boat and came up the stairs. "The wind is strong on the shore. If Princess Zhan wants to enjoy the lake view, why not move to the old boat? The view is no different, but it is more interesting."

Hu Luanfei rejected the old man's touch. She raised her eyes and glared at the old man, and was shocked to find that he was actually the second master of Boyang Village.

To this day, he remains hideous.

Hu Luanfei shook off the hand that was like dead branches and leaves, staggered to his feet, and stumbled towards Zuihualou.

Unexpectedly, the second master grabbed her collar and pulled her into the boat with great force.

She struggled as hard as she could, but her body was limp as if it had lost its skeleton, her clean skin was stained with dust, her shiny black hair was messy and loose, and her beautiful eyes, which used to be so charming with a glance and a smile, were now so empty that there was not even a trace of clarity, and she no longer had any of her former charm.

As for where to go, she no longer cared and was only thinking about what kind of poison she had been poisoned with.

From dawn to dusk, the boat drifted on the lake all day long until dusk, when it disappeared from the lake.

Go ashore, drag it, and throw it away.

The only woman was sent away by the second master.

Hu Luanfei's head hit the wall, leaving bright scars on her smooth forehead. She looked around in a daze. An oil lamp was nailed to the wall. In the dim environment, the furnishings were old and there were many torture instruments. It felt like a cage specially used to torture prisoners.

Although she had no relatives around her, she did not feel the slightest fear of death.

"I originally thought you would become a wanton whore, but I never imagined that you are still a virgin. It's a pity that my only poisonous insect died in your hands." The second master moved a chair and sat in front of Hu Luanfei with his legs crossed, tapping his palm with the whip in his hand from time to time.

The air was filled with a bloody smell that was so disgusting that it made people nauseous.

Hu Luanfei got up from the ground, but was unable to support his own weight and fell to the ground again.

She lay on the wall, breathing heavily, and looked at the previously very kind Old Second Master hazily, "Why are you trying to hurt me?"

The second master leaned forward slightly and lifted Hu Luanfei's chin with a folded whip. "My eldest brother died on the day when the snow was the heaviest. Before he died, he rested his head on my knees and told me in a trembling voice to kill all those who made us homeless."

The second master raised the whip and whipped the fair face, and soon red marks appeared.

Hu Luanfei's head was dizzy, and she immediately felt a burning pain on her face. There was a taste of blood in her mouth, but she held it back and did not wail.

The second master's face changed, and he whipped her even more frantically with the whip in his hand, one whip after another, as if he had endless energy.

"Your elder brother's death... is his own fault." Hu Luanfei quickly grabbed the whip. However, his body seemed to be hollowed out, limp as rotten cotton.

The second master exerted a little strength and the whip fell back into his hands again.

What greeted her was an even more terrifying storm.

"What's wrong with my eldest brother loving his granddaughter? What right do you have to incite the villagers to bully them?" The second master's eyes turned red, as if he had lost his personality, and he roared like a wild beast.

The whip was truly merciless, tearing his skin and flesh and causing pain to penetrate his soul. Hu Luanfei could no longer endure the heart-wrenching torture and passed out from the pain.

"I will not let go of anyone who hurts us, including the Xuanyuan clan."

The door opened and closed, and the footsteps faded away.

Hu Luanfei felt as if he was still awake, his consciousness gradually gathered, and the pain all over his body was real, as if he was bitten by countless ants, it was extremely painful.

She let out a whimper from her throat, and her pale cheeks were covered with dense beads of sweat.

Her numb and powerless hands were tightly clasped and clasped by someone, and she couldn't tell whose coldness lay between their fingertips and palms.

A broken and hoarse growl like that of a wounded wild animal sounded in her ears. She could no longer open her eyes, could not distinguish the sound, and could not figure it out.

Who is screaming beside her now?

She was in so much pain...

I didn't check the almanac before going out today. Every step I took felt like I was sinking into a quagmire. It was difficult to move forward or stay.

"Princess Zhan, wake up!" The man's extremely painful call seemed familiar yet strange. "If you don't wake up, we will die here."

"Who..." Hu Luanfei felt it was difficult to even take one more breath at this moment.

"I am Xuanyuan Yuqing, wake up!"

"You're still alive..." Hu Luanfei's face was pale and lifeless, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. "I thought you hadn't been heard from for a few days... and you had died."

"Nonsense, we fell into a trap." Xuanyuan Yuqing helped her up and leaned against the wall. His gentle eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. "Old Ming teamed up with Nanqi Kingdom to trick me into going to Xifeng Mountain. That damn Princess Nanqi is not dead. When she saw that I was captured, she didn't even bother to pretend."

"If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have bothered to save her." Hu Luanfei seemed to have regained some clarity and strength. He covered the wound on his face. His eyes, which used to be clear and distinct, were now so cold that it was impossible to look directly at them. "Damn it, the Second Master is so vicious. He almost took my life time and again."

"That old fellow treated me the same way. He was resentful of me for canceling the unequal treaty and wanted to cut me into pieces."

Xuanyuan Yuqing is not much better than Hu Luanfei, and there is not a single good spot on his body.

But now, she absolutely could not use the space spring water to heal her injuries in front of him, so she endured the pain and looked around again.
