After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

"Looking for someone!" All the people who had been calm and composed could no longer remain calm.

Shi Wanyue, who was just about to board the ship to leave, heard someone from the Supervisory Council come to report: "His Highness fell into the water, and his life or death is unknown."

Shi Wanyue was also unable to remain calm.

She turned around and grabbed Chu Qiu's collar tightly: "Take me to find her."

Chu Qiu hesitated for a moment and shook his head gently: "His Highness said that this would increase the possibility of your exposure."

Shi Wanyue's hand tightened again, her eyes filled with terrifying oppression and murderous intent: "Take me there!"

Chu Qiu was frightened by the coldness in her eyes and nodded in agreement.

After Wen Zhimiao fell into the water, he was not washed away by the water as everyone thought, but was caught by the fishing net hidden underneath.

Several fishermen who were very familiar with the waters and good at swimming took her away immediately and gave her a reed to breathe before leaving.

The wounds on his body were still very painful after being soaked in water. Wen Zhimiao endured the pain and was led by the fishermen to swim in the water for an unknown amount of time.

After finally getting ashore, they found themselves at a simple resting place hidden by the lake. This was a resting place built by the fishermen themselves, and the people arranged by Duan Jiling were there to pick them up.

Wen Zhimiao took deep breaths for a long time, and the wounds on his body ached slightly.

When those people saw her, they immediately brought clean clothes and towels to her and said, "Your Highness, change your clothes first. We have to leave quickly. Although this is upstream, there is no guarantee that those people will not come to search."

Wen Zhimiao nodded without any pretense. She took her clothes and changed them in a covered place. Her dirty clothes were taken away: "Give them to the prisoner on death row."

There was no pause or hesitation during the entire process. Those who were on duty looked at Wen Zhimiao and admired her perseverance and endurance.

"Let's go and take them with us." Taking these fishermen with us was to avoid exposing ourselves and to prevent them from being killed.

Although these people are not even from Nanshao City, but were found by Duan Jiling in the village, and do not even have an identity pass, their swimming skills are first-class.

Wen Zhimiao had also tested it himself, otherwise he would not have dared to take the risk.

"promise."

Wen Zhimiao climbed onto his horse and had to leave as soon as possible.

The group moved quickly, and it took less than quarter of an hour from the time Wen Zhimiao came ashore to the time he left.

Wen Zhimiao followed those people and rode away. Just after walking a distance, the leading spy stopped and said, "Your Highness, there are people ahead."

"Call me village chief from now on."

"understood."

Wen Zhimiao stopped and squinted his eyes slightly to look in the direction where there were people. There were only two people standing at the intersection.

The rain was so heavy that I couldn't see clearly who it was.

But the other person just stood there.

Wen Zhimiao watched as one of them slowly walked towards him. The guards around him were about to draw their swords, but Wen Zhimiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and seemed to know who the person was.

She couldn't see the other person clearly, but her intuition told her that there could be no one else except Shi Wanyue.

"Don't do it." Wen Zhimiao's voice was a little weak, but it still carried an irrefutable majesty.

Shi Wanyue walked towards her step by step without taking off the mask on her face.

Wen Zhimiao got off the horse and stood there waiting for Master Wanyue.

Shi Wanyue stood in front of her, her fingertips on her face.

"If you had told me earlier that your plan was so risky, I wouldn't have agreed." Shi Wanyue's voice was trembling.

"You are always like this, how can I catch you?" His eyes were red under the mask, and it was unclear whether it was rain or tears in his eyes.

Wen Zhimiao moved her lips. She wanted to say that she had planned everything and nothing would go wrong.

But I really can't say it out loud. This plan is indeed risky.

"I'm sorry." Wen Zhimiao lowered his head obediently.

Shi Wanyue's nose felt sore, and she gently held her in her arms: "I know you don't want to sacrifice others, and want to try to minimize the harm to innocent people."

"But Miaomiao, you are not a person, nor an ordinary person. You are His Highness Yuan Zhao of Tianqi, the only heir of His Majesty. If you really die, the world will only become more uneasy. Don't do this again in the future. I know you have good intentions to know everything you want, but you can't always think like an ordinary person."

"Is it because we are too close to you that you always forget your own identity?" It was rare for Shi Wanyue to speak to her in such a serious and blaming manner.

Wen Zhimiao's mind was a little confused. She knew that everything Shi Wanyue said was right.

"Miao Miao, don't think of yourself as a chess piece. The chess player is the chess player. Everyone, including me, can be your chess piece, except you. Do you understand?" Shi Wanyue said in a trembling voice.

Wen Zhimiao was in great confusion at the moment, with guilt, fear, and confusion intertwined into a ball.

"Chief, it's time to go." The guard behind him reminded Wen Zhimiao.

Shi Wanyue decisively let her go and warned her seriously: "Don't lose contact with me."

Wen Zhimiao nodded obediently: "Okay."

"Chu Qiu, take my sister back. From today on, you must protect her as well as you protect me."

Chu Qiu bowed to her: "Yes."

Shi Wanyue put on the mask again and left without hesitation.

After Shi Wanyue's figure disappeared in the rain, Wen Zhimiao got on his horse again and said, "Let's go."

The two of them left, one to the south and one to the north, and many people in Nanshao City are destined to have trouble sleeping today.

Shen Luoling sat in the brightly lit room, Shen Ningzhu hugged her from behind: "Sister, is His Highness really in trouble?"

Shen Luoling shook her head slightly in response to Shen Ningzhu's question, but then she couldn't help but sigh: "Whether something really happened or not, she is not ready to ascend the throne yet."

Shen Ningzhu was a little confused: "Why?"

"Do you think His Majesty will sacrifice himself?" Shen Luoling asked in a gentle voice.

Shen Ningzhu thought for a moment and shook his head gently: "No."

"Your Highness is too soft-hearted. She is very smart and plays everyone in the palm of her hand, but she is not cruel enough. The emperor can be kind but not soft-hearted. Anyone can feel that all people are born equal, but the emperor cannot. This is not a world where emperors and civilians can be equal. Unless one day there is no emperor in the world, otherwise everything will be messed up."

"There is a difference between the emperor and his subjects." Shen Luoling said in a low voice.

Shen Ningzhu didn't quite understand, but she felt that what Shen Luoling said was always right.

"Imperial Censor Yun and Your Highness both have a kind of innocence that many people do not have. The world they want is a world that you and I cannot imagine. Maybe it will come true one day, but not now." Shen Luoling has a good relationship with Yun Zhou, and she can feel it.

"It's just that now Yushi Yun has changed a lot. She has learned a lot from Your Majesty, and the cunning in the officialdom has also taught her many lessons, but Your Highness hasn't yet. She is too young. Your Majesty and Yushi Yun have indeed protected her very well. Even Wen Jiuzhao and Shi Wanyue are protecting her."

Shen Luoling leaned lazily in Shen Ningzhu's arms.

Shen Ningzhu asked curiously, "Sister, do you think His Highness is suitable to rule the world?"

Shen Luoling laughed and played with Shen Luoling's hand lazily: "No one is more suitable than her."

If it is not suitable now, His Majesty the Emperor will train her to be suitable.
