Mu Jinan went into the house, closed the door, and took out the medicinal materials. Since she had just arrived, it was better to be cautious, so she went to the kitchen to boil the medicine herself.

Zezhou found the food shop and asked him about the person in the portrait. Dr. Tea recalled carefully:

"She was here with us a few hours ago. Unlike the plump beauties in Chang'an City, she was very thin. I remembered her at first sight. She was also wearing a large robe for her husband, which looked very luxurious."

Zezhou continued to ask: "Where did she go when she left?"

Dr. Tea pointed casually: "West"

Zezhou ordered: "General Huaihua's mansion has been strictly guarded. She has not entered the mansion. A lady always stays in an inn late at night. Tonight, take the portrait and interrogate the inns in the city one by one."

The guards said in unison: "Yes"

Inside the palace, Li Huaijin saw that Zezhou had not returned yet, and thought to himself: "How smart she is, Zezhou has not found her yet."

"To the north is the Imperial City, to the northeast is the Prince's Palace and Qing Palace. She will definitely not go to Pingkangfang again. The east and west markets are bustling, while the south is quiet. One can't walk very far in a day."

He stood with his hands down, the coldness in his eyes dissipated a little, and ordered the guards:

"Send someone to the southwest to look for the inn."

Guard: "Yes, Your Majesty"

In Fuxin Inn, Mu Jinan sat by the window eating a steamed bun with air conditioning, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I lie drunkenly in a jade tower admiring the flowers, I climb the stone steps alone wearing an embroidered coat, the breeze from the small window brushes my face, and I choke on cold rice in the north wind"

I was almost raped by that bastard prince and had to hide from him everywhere.

Suddenly, her sharp eyes saw a group of people walking in the distance on the street. She immediately closed the window, picked up her bag and ran away.

Before he could walk out, he heard the door being kicked open with a bang. A masked man appeared with a sword in his hand and a murderous look in his eyes. Mu Jinan picked up the drum stool.

She asked tentatively, "Did General Mu's wife from Huaihua send you here?"

The masked man said nothing. Mu Jinan's mind raced, "It's better to go to the palace and see what happens than to die here without knowing why."

She picked up the drum stool with her left hand and threw it at the man. The man dodged. Mu Jinan pushed open the window and shouted, "I'm here, catch me!"

Zezhou was twenty meters away. Seeing Mu Jinan shouting from the second-floor window, his figure flashed and Mu Jinan leaped. With Zezhou's help, she landed steadily.

She immediately said, "It was the man upstairs who ordered me to hurt the prince and kill me to silence me. Go and catch him!"

Zezhou asked someone to watch her and went to the second floor. The masked man wielded a sharp sword and stirred the half-hanging silk curtains in the pavilion to resist the palace guards. The guards attacked him from the front and back and stabbed him in the arm.

The masked man was no match for the guards and tried to escape from the backyard, but Zezhou drew his sword and the scabbard flew out of his hand.

He hit the man's leg, then turned around, held him down, and stuffed the silk cloth torn off during the fight into his mouth.

An order was given: "Take him back to the palace"

After leaving the inn, Mu Jinan looked at the man who attacked him and said sternly: "It was you who assassinated the person who kidnapped me outside the city last time."

"Where did you take my maid?"

The man shook his head and glared at her. Mu Jinan curled his lips into a vicious smile.

Inside the Mu Mansion, Nanny Fan came in. She was afraid of being punished by Xiao Wan, so her face was solemn. While she was massaging Xiao Wan's legs, she whispered:

"Madam, she has been taken away by King Liang"

Xiao Wan threw the cup of tea on the ground. Once she entered the Prince Liang's mansion, it would be extremely difficult to kill her:

"You useless piece of shit, go find the most powerful master. I don't believe that a little girl can escape every time."

She had heard that Mu Jinan knew martial arts, so she specially arranged for sleeping pills and cartilage powder, intending to destroy her innocence and then kill her.

Now she was allowed to escape, she was unwilling to accept it, and regarded herself as a descendant of Fanyang Lu family and Lanling Xiao family, and became extremely arrogant.

Xiao Wan had also dealt with Princess Rongde since she was a child, and was jealous of the princess's nobility and style.

It was she who deliberately sent the young Mu Jinan away, and she also knew that her life as a slave would be worse than death.

Xiao Wan stood up and walked in front of the Bodhisattva, lit three incense sticks, and clasped her hands together:

"It seems I have to change my approach and kill her."

"Keep an eye on Prince Liang's mansion. If she goes out alone, take action immediately."

Nanny Fan looked at the Bodhisattva with some fear, but she had to do it. Having been with Xiao Wan for all these years, her hands were already stained with blood and lives.

He even used this method to please Xiao Wan and get more monthly salary.

...

Zezhou and the guards took the two men, blindfolded them, and returned to Prince Liang's mansion. When they came to the outer hall, the two men were forced to kneel on the ground.

Mu Jinan said calmly: "My dear, can you let me see more clearly?" Zezhou took off the silk cloth from her eyes.

In front of me was a two-story pavilion with green carvings. Li Huaijin was sitting behind an emerald green curved screen, wearing a saffron half-sleeve and a tea-white round-necked crotch-less robe, looking noble and elegant.

He leaned against the dark red gold-embroidered chair, his eyes were sharp, and his indifferent tone made people shudder:

"Why run away?"

Mu Jinan said in his heart:

"In the original story, I am the heroine. If I choose this person, he can add more plot points and help me in my fight with King Rui."

Mu Jinan knew that he had no choice but to admit his mistake and look for another opportunity, so he said with tears in his eyes:

"Your Highness, I wanted to serve you well, but I was kidnapped by this man the day before yesterday. My maid was abducted by him. I went to ask for his return. I hope Your Highness will help me and find out who is behind him."

“I am grateful”

Li Huaijin said in a deep voice: "Help you? What can I get?"

Mu Jinan bowed his head and said: "Now, although I have nothing, when my father and brother return to Chang'an, I will invite them to a banquet and pay off the ransom."

Li Huaijin lowered his eyes and said in a domineering tone:

"What if I want you to pay it back now?"

Mu Jinan looked embarrassed, and suddenly had an idea: "Prince, why don't you let me stay in the mansion and be a housekeeper, so that I can save money and pay you back soon."

Mu Jinan thought to himself: "He won't really force me to be his concubine? I don't want to die before I succeed."
