I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

But at this moment, saving lives was the most important thing, so she didn't delve into it further and directly bandaged the wound with a handkerchief.

After everything was settled, Ling Xiyue looked at the man in front of her and couldn't help but ponder.

"Although this man is handsome, I don't know if he is a good guy or a bad guy. If he is a bad guy, he will do that to me after waking up. Wouldn't that mean I would be indirectly killing myself? No, no."

The more Ling Xiyue thought about it, the more scared she became, and she got goosebumps.

You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others.

After much thought, Ling Xiyue decided to leave as soon as possible.

She looked at the jade pendant and purse around the man's waist.

"I don't have any money on me now, and I will definitely need some money when I go out. And this man happens to have some, so why not borrow some from me?" There was a wicked flash in Ling Xiyue's eyes.

Ling Xiyue touched the white jade pendant and wanted to take it off, but then she changed her mind and analyzed: "The jade pendant is a symbol of status, and it cannot be taken away. If you take it away, it will easily expose your target."

After saying that, he put down the jade pendant, untied the purse and took the money in his hand.

When I opened it, I found quite a bit of small change and several banknotes inside.

She took them all out and counted them carefully.

"He went out with ten taels of silver and one thousand taels of silver notes. He is quite rich."

Ling Xiyue looked at the large amount of money in front of her, and her heart was moved for a moment.

I really want to take them all for myself.

After thinking for a moment, she took out only five taels of silver and put it in her arms, and put the rest of the money back into her purse.

Then hang the purse around the man's waist.

"These five taels of silver will be used as the cost of your medical treatment. Don't accuse me of stealing your money." Ling Xiyue said to the man seriously.

At this time, Ling Xiyue stood up and prepared to leave, but when she saw that the man had not woken up yet, she felt a little worried.

This is a desolate mountain area, and if he remains unconscious, he might be eaten by a tiger or some other wild animal. What should I do?

In the end, Ling Xiyue decided to squat down and shake the man's body with her hands.

"Wake up—wake up—"

Ling Xiyue even called out a few more times.

After shaking for a while, the man finally showed some reaction, his brows slightly frowned.

Ling Xiyue was overjoyed when she saw it, but she did not stay. She stood up and ran up quickly.

When the man opened his eyes in pain, Ling Xiyue had already disappeared.

After Ling Xiyue's unremitting climbing, she finally reached the main road.

But at this time, the Ling Mansion's convoy was no longer visible on the roadside.

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue sighed slightly.

"I guess this family didn't send anyone to rescue the original owner. Come to think of it, the original owner is pretty pitiful."

While she was still sighing, she suddenly saw a horse-drawn carriage carrying goods coming from a distance. Ling Xiyue was stunned, and then an idea flashed through her mind.

She waved hastily to the carriage.

After some bargaining, Ling Xiyue got on the carriage and headed towards the city.

After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived in the city, which was the capital city at the foot of the emperor.

After giving the driver some silver, Ling Xiyue walked alone on the busy street.

Many strange and weird things instantly attracted Ling Xiyue's attention. She went forward to look at them one by one, and did not forget to try the delicious ones.

At this time, she was in the mood for traveling and was having so much fun that she had completely forgotten about buying weapons and "committed suicide".

Unconsciously, the sky darkened.

Ling Xiyue, still unsatisfied, decided to "commit suicide" after spending all the money.

Seeing that it was getting dark, for safety reasons, she found an inn, booked an ordinary room, and rested for a while.

At night, Ling Xiyue fell asleep quickly because she was too tired during the day.

In the dream, Ling Xiyue returned to the bottom of the cliff where she had just come from.

She was walking aimlessly when suddenly she heard someone calling her.

"Ling Xiyue, Ling Xiyue."

She looked towards the source of the sound and saw a woman who looked exactly like her, but younger, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

She couldn't help but be startled and a little scared.

"Who are you?" Ling Xiyue asked in a trembling voice.

"I am Ling Xiyue, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Industry of Nanyou Kingdom. Your body now belongs to me." The original owner Ling Xiyue responded with a smile.

Ling Xiyue finally reacted, "Do you have something to say to me?"

"Yes, I want you to help me. Believe me, you already know from my memory that I was pushed off the cliff. I don't want to die in such an unclear way. I want to take back everything that belongs to me."

"I know you are really pitiful and I sympathize with you. But I am a modern person and I am really not used to it here. I am afraid I can't help you." Ling Xiyue looked embarrassed.

The original owner felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Ling Xiyue’s rejection, but she quickly adjusted her “strategy”.

"I have always known what you are thinking. Do you really like the plum blossom jade hairpin in the museum?"

"How did you know?" Ling Xiyue was a little surprised and asked anxiously.

The original owner smiled softly and did not explain, but continued: "If you are willing to stay and help me, I will give you the hairpin after the task is completed."

Ling Xiyue was startled for a moment, then overjoyed, "Are you serious?"

"Seriously." The original owner nodded, looking serious.

"Tell me, how can I help you? Do you want me to help you kill the murderer?" Ling Xiyue didn't hesitate and went straight to the point.

Ling Xiyue's frankness made the original owner slightly stunned, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I already know who the murderer is. It's my stepmother, Madam He. She killed me because she wanted her daughter to become the eldest prince's consort. So, your first task is to make Ling Chuchen lose the election."

"Let her be eliminated? What about you? Do you want to be selected?" Ling Xiyue asked curiously.

The original owner thought for a moment and said calmly, "Is it up to God's will?"

"Leave it to fate? Don't you want to become the eldest prince's consort and then kill your stepmother? To avenge yourself?" Ling Xiyue was puzzled.

The original owner sneered upon hearing this, revealing an intriguing expression, "My stepmother? She will eventually perish from her evil deeds. It's only a matter of time."

Ling Xiyue looked at the original owner and couldn't help but frowning slightly, but seeing that the original owner seemed confident, she didn't ask any more questions.

"Then should I try hard? The success or failure depends on the eldest prince himself?" Ling Xiyue asked again.

As soon as she finished speaking, the original owner showed an embarrassment. She looked at Ling Xiyue and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is there something bad going on?"

"How do I put this?" The original owner paused, sighed softly, and then slowly spoke.

"Your mission is to prevent Ling Chuchen from becoming the Crown Prince's consort. As for the rest, you make your own decisions."

"Then, are there any other tasks?" Ling Xiyue asked.

"Also, I must protect my brother. I cannot let my stepmother hurt my brother, and I absolutely cannot let her take away everything that belongs to my brother." The original owner's expression became extremely serious.

"Okay, that's no problem. But I'm just a little woman. Sometimes, I really have the will but not the ability. What should I do when I encounter difficulties?" Ling Xiyue said worriedly.
