Sister, you traveled through time too?

[Grassland]

"We fought a great battle!"

"It looks like we'll be able to return to the capital in a few days, hahaha."

Jiang Hao and Xia Jie were each sitting on horseback, with iron horses and golden swords, the blood on their swords still boiling.

This is the moment after a victory.

There was still blood on Jiang Hao's face, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm. He spoke happily to Xia Jie.

Xia Jie was holding a half-pot of old wine in his hand and his body was covered in blood. He exhaled a breath of hot air, which instantly turned into frost on the snowy grassland.

After drinking the strong liquor, he also laughed heartily.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the bracelet on Jiang Hao's wrist.

It was a bracelet made up of many small fish with different expressions. It looked very beautiful.

He had a vague guess in his mind that this was His Highness's thing, but he didn't ask any further questions.

But the bracelet was also stained with blood. Even though it was not his, he still felt uncomfortable.

"Here, wipe the blood off your hands."

Xia Jie opened his collar heroically, tore off a piece of cloth from his clean robe and handed it to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao took it with his eyes wide open, then he looked at his wrist and found that the bracelet was dirty.

He never dared to ask His Highness what the relationship between General Xia and her was.

But he had some vague guesses in his mind.

He held the cloth given by Xia Jie in his hand and silently wiped the silver bracelet clean.

Xia Jie didn't look at Jiang Hao then, but looked at the endless snow-capped mountains.

"This year's snow came earlier than in previous years."

"I wonder if it's snowing in the Imperial City. I wonder..."

Xia Jie muttered to himself, but stopped talking halfway through.

He felt vaguely annoyed, but he didn't know why.

He always felt a little uneasy, and this uneasiness became stronger in the past two days. He always looked towards the direction of the imperial city silently.

Do I want to go back too much?

Xia Jie always asked himself this question.

But he had clearly returned to the grassland with great difficulty. Isn’t the grassland what he longed for?

Why do you want to go back to the imperial city so much?

He had the answer in his heart, but he was unwilling to believe it.

He just ran his horse in the snow over and over again to calm himself down.

But that feeling of uneasiness would never go away, and he didn't understand why he felt so uneasy.

There have been no messages from the imperial city's spies recently. They must have been delayed by the snow.

But Xia Jie always felt something was wrong.

"This battle is the last one. Let's go back to the Imperial City as soon as possible. I just feel like something is not right."

Xia Jie just drank the liquor in one gulp, and then said to Jiang Hao.

"No? What's wrong? Now that Hailin and Cui Yunsong, the two biggest hidden dangers, are gone, the imperial city should be peaceful and calm."

Jiang Hao said with a smile, then looked at Xia Jie and joked:

"I think it's in the Imperial City. There's someone General Xia is worried about."

Xia Jie smiled but did not make any excuses. His heart was warmed by the wine.

"I'll go take a few turns. You take the brothers back to the tent and do what you need to do."

After Xia Jie finished speaking, he whipped his horse and rode away.

……

【Jinsha Tower in Shu】

There was continuous heavy snow in Sichuan, but Jinsha Tower was still extremely bustling.

The entire Jinsha Building was warm and noisy, but the No. 1 private room was exceptionally quiet.

"Boss Liu, are you kidding me?"

"How is it possible that there has been no news in the past two days? There can't be anything wrong."

"It's fine if my intelligence line has no news, but there's no news about your Jinsha Building?"

Mei Shuo was wearing a bright red brocade robe and a snow-white cloak on the outside. He sat by the fireplace and asked with a frown.

Sitting opposite Mei Shuo was the current owner of Jinsha Tower, Liu Fufeng.

"I'm wondering too. Logically, there's no news that Jinshalou can't find out."

"Please wait a bit, my lord. If there is still no news at night, something must have gone wrong."

"Normally, there would never be such a situation with the news from His Highness or the Imperial City."

Liu Fufeng also frowned. She was wearing a dark purple gilded skirt and an ink-black fox fur gauze jacket. She looked calm, charming and luxurious.

She now has complete control over all the industries of Jinsha Tower and has become a well-known figure in Shu.

"Please trouble Boss Liu to keep an eye on me. I've been feeling uneasy lately."

Mei Shuo sighed and spoke quietly.

"Why bother? Your Highness has been so kind to me. These little things are just a piece of cake."

Liu Fufeng said sincerely.

There was still heavy snow falling outside the window, and people were coming and going, preparing for the New Year.

"Master OP! Master OP!"

There was the sound of a servant knocking anxiously on the door.

Liu Fufeng and Mei Shuo both frowned at the same time.

Normally, Jinshalou shouldn't have such unruly servants. Even in an emergency, they shouldn't knock on the door in such an unruly way.

Liu Fufeng stood up and opened the door. Two servants were standing outside the door. They knelt down as soon as the door was opened.

Liu Fufeng was about to ask what was wrong, but immediately saw the woman behind the servant.

She stared at this old acquaintance, never expecting to meet him again.

"Liu Fufeng! I have something urgent to do!"

The woman walked into the box without saying a word. When she saw Mei Shuo, she was stunned for a moment, and then she fell at his feet.

Liu Fufeng frowned and quickly closed the door.

"Tao Mei'er, if you have anything to say, stand up and tell me."

Liu Fufeng hurried to pull the man up.

The woman on the ground then raised her head. She was Tao Meir, the favorite concubine of Cui Yunsong.

After the chaos that day, she was granted mercy and released, but was ordered not to enter Shu again.

"Your Highness pardoned the captives in Cui's house, but he also set a rule that you are not allowed to enter Shu again."

"Why break the rules? Don't you want to live, Tao Meier?"

Liu Fufeng frowned and asked with displeasure.

She became angry when she looked at Tao Meir, even though she had already let her go. However, she still thought that Tao Meir was an acquaintance of hers, and since she had obtained the prince's black fox fur coat, she gave Tao Meir some money for the trip.

But how could she become like this?

Liu Fufeng felt uncomfortable seeing this.

Tao Meir was in a disheveled state, wearing only a dirty, torn skirt.

It was such a cold day, and the ground was covered with snow. Not only did she not have a thick coat, she didn't even have shoes.

Seeing her feet were frozen purple and covered in blood, Liu Fufeng felt uncomfortable.

"Sister Liu! Lord Mei! I didn't mean to disobey you, I just had to come here!"

"Hurry up and save His Highness! Save His Highness!"

Tears fell from Tao Meir's eyes, her lips were cracked from the cold, her ears and hands were covered with frostbite, and her whole body was still shaking.

When Mei Shuo heard the word "Your Highness", he stood up as if stimulated, and he quickly asked:

"What's going on? Save His Highness? What happened to His Highness?"

Tao Meir was choking with sobs. Liu Fufeng took off his fox fur coat and put it on her, then quickly asked what had happened.

"The Imperial City, the Imperial City is in chaos! The Emperor wrote an edict of apology and made the head of the Hu family the emperor."

"Your Highness has become that man's queen, and they will get married next year."

"This must be all a conspiracy. The emperor must have been murdered by that villain! Your Highness has been controlled."

"Your Highness's Princess Mansion has been bloodbathed. Woohoo, wow, wow, wow. Several families that were on good terms with Your Highness have been imprisoned or beheaded."

"No news came out of the Imperial City. He has been accused of death. If His Highness is safe, he will definitely not allow such a thing to happen. I was afraid that something would happen to His Highness, so I ran away quickly."

"When I was released from Shu, I went to the Imperial City to make a living. I used the money you gave me, Sister Liu, to set up a stall to sell wontons."

"After His Highness got into trouble, everyone in the city was in danger, and my stall was also smashed."

"I tried my best to escape through the high mountains west of the city."

"There were guards everywhere on the road and in the mountains. I almost couldn't get out."

"My shoes were lost, and my clothes were pawned on the road. I ran here without stopping for a moment!"

"You must save His Highness! Please!"
