Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

A few hours ago, Meng Huaibei relied on his strong will to finally disperse the medicinal power that had invaded his body one by one, and his body regained some mobility.

He hurriedly ordered the driver to turn the car around and returned to the inn anxiously. However, the moment he stepped over the threshold, what came into his eyes was an empty room, and Jiang Nianwei's figure had disappeared without a trace.

Recalling the scene when she saw him off, without the usual attendants accompanying him, Meng Huaibei couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart - all this was obviously premeditated.

Before he could think further, he decisively jumped on his horse, whipped it, and galloped towards Mount Wutai.

No matter what her purpose was, Meng Huaibei always had a bad feeling in his heart, and he couldn't let this happen.

When he rushed to the edge of the cliff, he saw Jiang Nianwei had already jumped off the cliff.

Just a little bit more, just a little bit faster, and we could have stopped all this from happening.

He felt a chill all over his body and wanted to hold her hand, but it was too late. He could only watch her fall.

He lay on the edge of the cliff, his voice trembling in the wind as he called her name over and over again.

"Jiang Nianwei, Jiang Nianwei, can you hear me?"

However, there is a bottomless abyss below, and falling from such a high place will lead to death.

There was a group of people dressed as bandits around, who, seeing that their target was dead, were preparing to kill him to silence him.

Meng Huaibei felt like he was about to fall. He wanted to jump down with them, but when he thought that it was this group of people who forced him to death, his eyes turned red with anger.

He drew his sword and rushed towards the robber as if to vent his anger.

After a moment, the ground was littered with broken bodies and limbs. These people were no match to him at all.

But he could also feel that the bandits would not have such skills. They were more like carefully trained killers rather than ordinary bandits.

The leading thief was trembling all over, his teeth chattering, and he kept muttering, "Don't kill me, please don't kill me."

Meng Huaibei's voice was as cold as frost, without any emotion: "Tell me, who instructed you to do this?"

"Yes... yes..." the thief said as he retreated, but he was unable to reveal the name hidden in the dark.

He knew very well that once he opened his mouth, even if he escaped from here by chance, the same fate would be waiting for him.

Seeing this, Meng Huaibei's patience was exhausted. His eyes flashed and the sharp blade in his hand flashed in a flash. The thief's head fell to the ground and blood splattered everywhere.

At this moment, he was covered in blood.

When the guards left behind by Jiang Nianwei saw this scene, they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled like sieves, and they could hardly stand.

"You failed to protect your master."

The moment he took action, he remembered the tone of Jiang Nianwei's reproachful tone, and finally suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.

"Today, I will spare your lives, but I must find you alive or dead. You must follow me into the valley and find my sister."

There was still a glimmer of hope in Meng Huaibei's heart, what if... she was still alive?

"Yes."

Meng Huaibei led his men to the bottom of the cliff. For a moment, he wanted to jump down with Jiang Nianwei, but if he died too, who would save her in time when her life or death was unknown.

There was a jungle under the cliff. He led people to search for Jiang Nianwei in the jungle. Even though the thorns scratched his hands, he didn't seem to feel any pain.

"Still nothing?"

Meng Huaibei raised his head and his eyes passed through the dense treetops to the top of the distant cliff.

A body of flesh and blood would certainly not survive a fall from such a height.

Meng Huaibei had already prepared for the worst outcome in his mind. Even if all he found was a body, he was ready to face it.

But now they found nothing. The body could not disappear out of thin air.

Could it be... a fake death?

Meng Huaibei recalled Jiang Nianwei's behavior before she jumped off the cliff, and asked the guards beside him, "Did Sister say anything to you before she jumped down?"

"The girl said, let's run away quickly and survive."

Meng Huaibei instantly understood the reason for everything.

"You guys go and rest first, and I will take care of the search."

"No, if something happens to the girl, we are also responsible."

This group of guards were more loyal than he had imagined, however, for the sake of the overall situation, he had to send them away.

After some clever words, the guards finally went to search the other side.

He was alone, hiding deep in the forest, watching the changes.

After half a cup of tea, two men came together and carried a corpse in a hurry.

"It's really incomprehensible. Why do we have to do such a dirty thing?" One of them complained in a low voice, his tone full of reluctance.

"It's a blessing to be able to earn money. Why are you so picky about the job? Besides, the reward for this trip is quite generous, which is enough to comfort you. Also, keep quiet. It will be troublesome if someone sees you." The other person lowered his voice quickly, with a vigilant light flashing in his eyes.

After carefully placing the body on the ground, the two men left quickly with hurried looks as if they had done something wrong.

Meng Huaibei slowly walked to the side of the female corpse and found that the clothes she was wearing were the same as those worn by Jiang Nianwei, and even the body shape seemed to be the same person.

However, his face was badly injured beyond recognition.

He now fully understood Jiang Nianwei's plan.

In order to make it more realistic, he immediately called the guards, "I found my sister's body, follow me."

"It's really the third girl."

"Third Miss, you died miserably!"

Amid the sobbing sounds all around, Meng Huaibei turned around with a complicated smile on his face.

Since Jiang Nianwei chose to fake her death, it meant that she didn't want to marry Baili Zhao and didn't want to enter the palace. It turned out that what she said unintentionally before was sincere. Compared to entering the palace, she wanted freedom more.

Jiang Nianwei was currently sitting in a carriage heading to Linzhou.

Meng Huaibei still rushed over. I wonder if he noticed what he had done.

When she jumped off the cliff, she had already planned it. There was a secret cave hidden under the place where she jumped.

There were also several masters with outstanding martial arts skills who were secretly guarding her to ensure that she was unharmed.

The only thing that took some effort was finding a corpse of a similar shape to hers to conceal her whereabouts.

Fortunately, with careful planning and early arrangements, the talented people in the business finally found similar corpses.

It should have appeared at the bottom of the cliff by now.

She let out a long sigh. The plan had been completed, and now it depended on everyone's reaction.

The news that Jiang Nianwei jumped off the cliff soon reached the capital, and the entire Jiang family was shocked.

The first reaction was disbelief.

But at this moment, he seemed to have lost his soul. He kept shaking his head and muttering to himself: "No way, how could my sister leave like this? I don't believe it."

Jing Qiudie cried so hard that she almost fainted. In comparison, Jiang Yan seemed unusually calm. It was not that he was not sad, but he felt something strange about the incident.

He immediately ordered his servants, "Send someone to the military camp to find the two brothers. Something big has happened at home, why are they still busy?"

"Yes."

The Jiang residence was filled with a solemnity and a sad atmosphere.

No one in the mansion believed that Jiang Nianwei would encounter such an unexpected event.

"She was fine when she left the house, how could she be gone in the blink of an eye? Something must have gone wrong. I want to find her. Only by seeing it with my own eyes..."

"The young lady's body is on its way back to the capital." the guard who reported the incident replied.

Jing Qiudie wiped her eyes with the handkerchief unconsciously, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, "My Nianwei, how could she be so miserable? She was supposed to enter the palace."

Jiang Lanxu and Jiang Lixuan were extremely anxious. They whipped their mounts and rushed back to the mansion as fast as they could. They didn't believe that anything would happen to their sister.

"Nianwei is so smart and clever, how could she fall into the hands of thieves so easily?"

Most people in the family were hoping for the best, believing that the news about her misfortune was just a misunderstanding and that something must have gone wrong.

Until the body was brought back, it was placed in ice for preservation.

Jing Qiudie almost didn't dare to look and fainted.

Jiang Siyu slowly walked to the coffin and opened her eyes again, only to see a disfigured corpse. She covered her mouth, holding back her emotions and not letting herself cry out.

The body had been dressed in clean clothes, and the body was indeed that of the elder sister, but her face...

Jiang Lanxu stepped forward to take a look and frowned tightly, "This is a disfigured corpse, which means it may not be Nian Wei."

"Yes, let's go to Mount Wutai right now, and we will definitely find her."

Jiang Siyu stood there in a daze, almost unable to stand, and it was Han Qiu who supported her.

"But it looks so much like..."

Jiang Yan stared at his daughter's body carefully and felt that something was wrong.

What everyone said was true. Deep down in his heart, he was unwilling to accept that his beloved daughter would die so hastily, not to mention jumping off a cliff to defend her innocence.

Could it be that there is an unknown secret hidden behind this?

He suppressed the grief in his heart, and with his sharp eyes, he examined the cold body meticulously. Finally, he found a slightly yellowed piece of paper between the folds of the sleeves.

[Dad, Mom, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I firmly believe that when you find this letter, you will understand my feelings. Nianwei has not really left, but has changed her form and is away from your protection. Please don't mourn for me, I will be safe and sound in another world, living freely. After reading this letter, please turn it into ashes immediately. In addition, I have another favor to ask of you, I hope you can properly handle this "body" used to deceive people...]

Jiang Yan smiled with relief, his daughter was really not dead.

She must have her reasons for doing this, and all he has to do is cooperate with her.

As for the others, if they wanted to keep this a secret from His Majesty, he decided not to tell them about it for the time being to avoid any mistakes.

Jiang Yan pretended to be heartbroken and secretly hid the note.

Then he stopped the two brothers and said, "Don't mess around. There will be officials investigating there. What we need to do now is to take care of Nianwei's funeral."

"Dad, do you really believe that my sister is dead?"

"Now that the body is here, how can I not believe it? You guys should stop making trouble. Nianwei must also want to be buried in peace."

Jiang Siyu said with all her might: "Dad, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. Even if I die, I must find the murderer who killed her."

"I already know who the murderer is. The battle for the throne is cruel. I will make those who hurt Nianwei pay the price!"

After receiving the news, Wu Fangzhi couldn't help but start imagining the scene of her wedding day.

"Your Majesty will definitely know how good I am. Your Majesty, do you know how much Fang Zhi loves you?"

Minister Wu came over with a worried look on his face, "Fangzhi, although the third daughter of the Jiang family is no longer with us, it is difficult to understand His Majesty's intentions... Today we went to ask for an audience with His Majesty, but he refused to see anyone and did not even attend the morning court."

You know, Baili Zhao has always been diligent, and after he ascended the throne, such a thing has never happened again.

"It's just a woman. Your Majesty is only sad for a moment and will soon forget all this. Grandfather, you don't have to worry."

Minister Wu felt vaguely uneasy, as if something was wrong.

……

When Baili Zhao heard that Jiang Nianwei had met with an accident, he absurdly thought that this was just the most ridiculous joke in the world.

However, Zheng Changkong's upright body froze in place, his face filled with unspeakable sorrow. He spoke in a low and heavy voice: "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. Things in this world are unpredictable."

"Ridiculous! How could Sanniang leave me? She promised herself that she would return safely after the blessing ceremony... No, this is absolutely not true. I cannot accept it."

Baili Zhao no longer looked like an emperor, and his face was distraught.

"This is just a nightmare, right? Changkong, tell me, when I wake up, will I still see her by my side?"

Zheng Changkong was silent. "Your Majesty, what you said is true. Miss Jiang has left us. Her body is now resting in the Jiang Mansion. If you wish, you can go there to pay your respects in person."

"What remains? Then tell me how she died and why the accident happened?"

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang encountered a group of extremely vicious thieves and was forced to the edge of a cliff. In desperation, she chose to jump into the abyss in order to find freedom."

Upon hearing this, Baili Zhao burst into laughter, his laughter was filled with madness and despair: "No, this must be a joke between her and me. How could she leave so easily? Changkong, don't use such absurd words to deceive me. Tell me the truth, okay?"

"That is the truth, Your Majesty."

"How could Sanniang die so easily? She hasn't even become my queen yet..."

He was immersed in complicated memorials day and night, and his body and mind were already exhausted.

At this moment, this sudden bad news was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, making him dizzy.

Zheng Changkong suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Jiang Nianwei had prepared that refreshing pill in advance. He quickly took it out and carefully fed it into His Majesty's mouth.

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling?"

"No problem, get ready immediately, I need to go to Jiang's house."

He would never believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes.
