In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Buy the horse from the man.

Mu Jinan asked again: "My dear, do you know where the Mu Mansion is?"

The man pointed and said, "Follow this road, head west through Changxingfang, and the nearby Anrenfang is it."

Mu Jinan jumped onto his horse and galloped towards the west.

She thought to herself:

"If the prince wakes up, he will definitely go to the gate of the general's mansion to guard it. I must hurry."

Finally, she found the Mu Mansion, dismounted and walked inside, but the guard at the door stopped her.

"Who are you? Do you have a name card for your letter?"

Mu Jinan took out the prince's badge:

"Look carefully, I am the second lady of the Mu Mansion. I was returning to the city from my aunt's home in Xuanzhou. I was kidnapped on the way. It was King Liang who gave me the token and asked me to return to the mansion. Why didn't you get out of the way?"

The guard looked puzzled and asked, "There is only the Third Lady in our house, and I have never heard of the Second Lady. Where did you come from, a liar, and you have a fake token?"

"Look carefully, is there the name of King Liang engraved on this token?"

Mu Jinan took the token and looked at it carefully. She must have blown out the candle last night. She didn't see it clearly. She said calmly:

"Why don't you report to the general? When the general sees me, he will punish you."

At this time, a guard whispered:

"What's the token?"

Mu Jinan sighed:

"I was robbed on the road and the property was stolen."

The guard ran into the mansion immediately. At this time, a guard at the door said:

"The general is not in Chang'an City at the moment, the madam is in charge of the mansion."

In the inner courtyard, Nanny Fan was helping Xiao Wan wash her face when she heard a servant come in and report:

"There is someone outside the mansion claiming to be the Second Lady, and wants to see the Madam, but she doesn't have any token."

A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Wan's eyes. It seemed that Mu Jinan was alone outside without any guards. This was a good opportunity. She must not be killed in the mansion.

"If you don't have a token, then you are a liar, send him away."

The servant said: "Yes"

Xiao Wan looked at the teacup in her hand, thinking deeply. She had been jealous of Princess Rongde for many years, and seeing Mu Jinan's beauty, she didn't want her daughter to be outdone. She always thought that Mu Yun was the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City:

"Keep an eye on her, don't spare her life, and make it quick and decisive"

"Destroy her innocence and then kill her"

Nanny Fan is Xiao Wan's confidant. She is cruel and has told the killer to make sure that Mu Jinan is completely dead.

After a while, the guard came out of the house:

"Our lady said that without the token, she can't trust you."

"Please leave"

Mu Jinan suppressed his anger and thought carefully:

"The stepmother is harboring evil intentions. I can't waste any more time here."

"Could she be the one who kidnapped me outside the city?"

She turned around, mounted her horse, and rode as fast as she could to find a post station, where she wrote the letter:

"Aunt, my nephew was kidnapped when he returned to Chang'an City. He was not allowed to enter the general's mansion to recognize his relatives. Please go to Chang'an City and help my nephew return home."

Mu Jinan asked the post station to send the letter urgently. He thought to himself that he had just returned and had shown his face in front of so many people last night. He might be caught soon.

Let’s find a shop and eat first.

She just felt someone passing by and pointing at her, saying something inappropriate. She was a little confused, but she was too hungry to pay attention.

Mu Jinan came to a food store, and after a while, he heard Dr. Tea say with a smile:

"My dear, what you requested is hot windproof porridge, fresh mutton, tender and delicious vinegar celery, meat-stuffed wontons, and five-color cakes fresh from the pan. They are all ready for you to try."

Mu Jinan looked at the delicious food on the table, his eyes lit up and he started eating quickly:

"Well, this mutton is fat and rich, and the Fangfeng porridge melts in your mouth. In the future, when I have enough time, I must try the Guoting mutton."

He then instructed: "Make five more steamed cakes."

She looked out the window, the poison in her body surging, a trace of loneliness flashed across her eyes, and she muttered to herself:

"I wonder what my cousin is doing now?"

Inside the Mu Mansion, Nanny Fan came in a hurry to report: "Madam, His Royal Highness Prince Liang seems to be looking for her as well."

Xiao Wan accidentally broke the Buddhist beads in her hand and kicked the maid in the face. The maid's nose bled instantly and she knelt on the ground begging for mercy:

"Madam, spare my life"

Xiao Wan closed her eyes, knelt down and worshipped the Bodhisattva, her tone gentle and steady:

"killed"

Nanny Fan ordered the servants to take the maid out of the house, and blood was splattered on the spot. Mu Chen had been away for many years, and Xiao Wan was in charge of everything in the mansion.

She was cruel and would either beat or scold the maids, bullying them whenever she was unhappy.

Xiao Wan offered three incense sticks to the Bodhisattva. She knew that with Mu Jinan's appearance, King Liang might be attracted by her beauty and wanted to take her as a concubine instead of hunting her down.

"Be sure to kill her before King Liang finds her."

Nanny Fan looked kind but had a cruel heart: "Yes, Madam, I will do it right away."

.....

Last night, in the Liang Wang Mansion, in the inner hall of the Qizhao Pavilion, Zezhou was holding a plate of fruit and saw a piece of paper outside the door, which read:

"Just now, I suddenly felt not hungry anymore, so I took a rest and will eat again tomorrow."

Zezhou was half-believing and half-doubting, and knocked on the door: "Madam Yuyun, I brought you some cakes."

After knocking on the door several times but getting no response, he pushed it open and saw that only the prince was left in the room. He wanted to wake him up:

"My Lord, wake up!"

Li Huaijin was unconscious, so Zezhou asked a doctor to see him overnight. The doctor told him:

"The prince was just knocked unconscious. He will wake up in a few hours."

After the doctor left, Zezhou stayed with Li Huaijin.

The next morning, Li Huaijin felt a pain in his neck. He opened his eyes and saw Zezhou sleeping on the table. Mu Jinan was nowhere to be seen. He shouted in his heart:

"This woman dared to knock me unconscious!"

"I haven't seen you for many years. You have become more capable and clever. You dared to seduce and trick me into letting down my guard. Mu Jinan, just wait."

Zezhou was awakened by the sound of Li Huaijin getting up, and quickly stood up and asked with concern:

"My Lord, are you okay?"

Li Huaijin hesitated and said, "Did you take off my clothes?"

Zezhou was a little embarrassed and said: "No"

Li Huaijin felt that he was fooled by a woman. His eyes were cold, and his slender fingers pinched the quilt. His tone was cold:

"Go and find that woman from last night for me right now."

Zezhou said terrified: "Yes"

Li Huaijin's eyes turned slightly and he ordered:

"Go to Huaihua General's Mansion, then look for it in the food store on the street."

Zezhou bowed and withdrew. He sent out three teams, one to the Huaihua General's Mansion, one to the busiest food shop on Chang Street, and one to draw a portrait of Hu Yulou last night and search carefully in the city.

After Mu Jinan had eaten and drunk her fill, she continued to head southwest with the steamed bun in her hand. A smile appeared on her lips:

"I was attracted by the bustle of Pingkangfang last night. They will definitely go to the bustling place to look for me."

"If that prince finds me, I might be able to use him as a backer. Let's see if he has the ability to find me."

"I am still weak and need to take medicine."

Half an hour later, Mu Jinan came to the medicine hall and took some medicinal herbs.

"Qiangui, Huangqi, Xianren Yuliang, Ludangshen..."

After paying the medical fee, he rode away and arrived at the inn, where the host welcomed him:

"My dear, we have the best rooms in Fuxin Building. How many nights would you like to stay?"

Mu Jinan touched the silver in his hand, feeling a little disappointed:

“How much is the cheapest one?”

The boss immediately put away his smile and looked him up and down:

"Sixty cents a night"
