I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

"Aunt, this is a time of trouble. You can't go out, but you are safe in the palace. You won't have to worry about your life. You have been bedridden for many years, and your blood vessels are stagnant. The palace is very big. If you feel energetic on weekdays, let your cousin help you walk around in the garden and get some sun. It will help activate your meridians. When the blood and qi flow smoothly, your hands and feet will gradually become full and strong, and you won't feel groggy all day. Just focus on recuperating and don't worry about anything else, understand?"

Mu Qingyan didn't know that she was actually Madam Yuan's best medicine.

Seeing that she is living a good life now, any guilt I feel in my heart is offset a little.

"Okay, Auntie will listen to you. I will take good care of myself and watch you get into the bridal sedan chair and run towards your bright future..."

In Shouxiang Palace, Empress Dowager Lan was still worried. Madam Yuan and her daughter had entered Prince Ling's mansion. Prince Ling had obtained evidence and would definitely go to the palace to report to His Majesty. What should she do then?

But after waiting day after day, I still didn't hear any news.

She was extremely anxious, but she couldn't do anything.

Prince Ling's Mansion is an iron barrier. Over the years, she has sent many people out, but they died before they even reached the wall of Prince Ling's Mansion.

Since no one has entered Jingzhao Prefecture, the opportunity has been lost and all we can do now is wait and see what happens.

But at this time, the person that Empress Dowager Lan was thinking about was lying in ambush on Minglong Mountain in Huang County, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

At this moment, the Qinglong Village on the hillside of Minglong Mountain was brightly lit, and the bandits were toasting each other, making it very lively!

In the middle of the hall, there stood a dozen young and beautiful women. They huddled together, shivering, as if only in this way could they find a sense of security.

They were people from a small mountain village outside Huang County. Today, this group of bandits suddenly arrived and demanded people and silver without saying a word. They also threatened to set fire to them if they did not comply.

The houses in the village are all close to each other, and most of them are thatched houses. If one house catches fire, all houses will suffer.

The villagers had no ability to resist. Those who had silver gave it to the villagers, and those who didn't had to exchange the girls for peace.

In fact, they had no choice but to do so. The bandits killed people and burned the village, and young women like them would not be spared and would still be captured and brought up the mountain.

Looking at the bandits who were eating meat and drinking wine, laughing and cursing in great excitement, they all knew what they were about to face.

After three rounds of drinking, the bandits were already half drunk. The death of their leader in the back mountain of Qinglong Temple did not affect their mood at all. They had gathered together for profit, but because they were not as skilled as others, they had to obey orders from others. There was not much friendship at all.

In order to celebrate the succession of the new boss, they swarmed down the mountain to do something big, and looted a lot of money and beautiful girls.

Their eyes, blurred by the smell of alcohol, stared at the girls with lewd smiles on their faces. Some of them staggered over with wine jugs in their hands, grabbed a girl and scared her so much that she screamed.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Girls, scream! Scream as loud as you can! Brother loves to hear your scared and excited voices the most...hahahaha..."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter at the explicit words.

But suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly with the sound of an object flying in from outside and hitting the ground heavily.

When everyone looked closely, they realized that the person who had just fallen to the ground was a person.

He was stabbed in the chest and is dead.

The bandits, who were in high spirits and with blurry eyes just now, were now sober, took out the weapons under the table and stood up!

The new head of the family started yelling, "Which grandson dares to spoil grandpa's mood! Get out here!"

Before he could finish his words, a sleeve arrow two fingers long came through the wind from outside the door, and with a whoosh, it pierced straight through the throat of the new leader of Qinglong Village, who had not yet warmed up to the throne.

His eyes widened, and he sat bolt upright, dead.

The person next to him was probably the current big boss. Just as he was about to run away, he heard a loud noise from above. He looked up and saw that the roof had been breached. A masked man in black fell from the sky. He didn't have time to raise his weapon before someone grabbed his throat. The man's bloodless voice came from behind him, "Don't move if you don't want to die!"

The resisting bandits have been subdued by the men in black who broke in. Not only were there men in black, but there were also well-trained and fully armed armored soldiers.

The captured women were frightened when they saw the men in black, but when they saw the soldiers, hope rose in their hearts again...

Not until the situation was under complete control did Prince Ling, dressed in black and wearing a mask, slowly step in.

"Search the village."

He uttered two words slowly.

"Yes!"

The soldiers dispersed towards the exits after receiving the order.

One of the women was a bit braver. She hesitated and asked, "Sir... We are the people from Qinjia Village outside Huang County. We were captured and brought to the mountain today. Can we leave now?"

The mask only covered half of his face, but from the half that was revealed, it could be seen that this man must be a handsome and elegant young man.

Prince Ling looked over and said in a cold but not frightening voice, "After the soldiers have searched the village, I will send someone to take you home."

Hearing this, all the women present breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought I had reached the end of the road, but unexpectedly there was light at the end of the tunnel and I was able to survive.

The search of the village was soon over, and the soldiers brought out several women from the back, some of whom were people these women knew.

The woman who had spoken earlier saw someone and came forward excitedly, "Mom!"

The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she rushed over and hugged her daughter while sobbing.

Others also recognized their relatives.

These women were captured and taken to the mountains before. They were still young when they were captured, but now so many years have passed, their youth has gone, and only the vicissitudes of life remain.

Ah Shang pulled the tendons of the second in command's legs and ordered his men to tie him up. At this time, a soldier came in hurriedly, came up to Prince Ling and whispered to him.

Prince Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, "Really?"

"Really? There's a lot of food stored inside. Even a rough calculation would show that there are at least 300 dan."

"Well, today's trip was not in vain. Send a few people to return the captured women to their homes, and give them some of the confiscated silver. And tell the people that Qinglong Village has been wiped out, so that they can rest assured."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

The women all knelt down and thanked their benefactor.

"Thank you for saving me, sir!"

Watching them follow the soldiers out, Ah Shang couldn't help but say, "My Lord, if you leave the capital quietly, Miss Mu won't be angry..."

The woman who had recognized her daughter earlier stopped in her tracks when she heard this. Miss Mu?

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
