After traveling through time, I became a princess in ancient times

In Beiling City, a beggar with tattered clothes and a face covered with dirt and charcoal ash staggered through the streets.

This person was none other than Li Wei, who had avoided the eyes of all spies. He lowered his head deliberately, occasionally stealing glances at passers-by through his disheveled hair, secretly calculating in his mind.

At the street corner, a group of children were surrounding an old man selling candy. Their innocent laughter brought a touch of warmth to Li Wei's heart, but it was quickly suppressed by the urgency of the task.

He hunched his back and slowly approached a woman who was choosing cloth. He deliberately rubbed her with his worn sleeve, which caused the woman to frown in disgust and scold.

"Sister, I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I came from the East to escape famine. My hometown was hit by a flood, the fields were submerged, and my family was separated. I was the only one who managed to escape."

Li Wei lowered his head and spoke in a hoarse voice. His humble appearance made people think that he was a pitiful person at first glance.

After hearing about his experience, a cloth vendor on the street felt sympathetic. He put down the cloth in his hand, walked up to Li Wei, and took out a few copper coins from his lapel: "It's not easy for you either. Take this money and find an inn to rest."

The woman who was scolding him just now felt even more compassion in her heart. She turned around and bought two hot steamed buns from a stall nearby and sent them to Li Wei. She changed into a gentle old woman and said, "Young man, I guess you are starving. Eat two steamed buns first to fill your stomach. You are right to come to our Beiling. Since the prince and princess came, no one has starved to death. Everyone has enough food to eat. Just find a place to stay and I will take you to find some work tomorrow. You will always have enough food to eat."

Li Wei took the steamed bun, and the warmth from his fingertips startled him slightly. The steamed bun in front of him was still emitting a trace of steam, which formed a sharp contrast with the coolness of the surrounding cold wind.

He took a big bite of the steamed bun. The kindness of these people made his eyes slightly red, and he quickly lowered his head to avoid revealing his emotions.

Suddenly, Li Wei noticed that someone was staring at him strangely. He remained calm and thanked the woman and the vendor again, with a subtle urgency in his tone.

Then he quickly turned into an alley, pulled out a package that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve, and untied it skillfully. Inside the package was a set of bright and beautiful businessman's clothes and a mask that looked very wealthy.

Li Wei was like a cross-dressing expert. With a series of smooth movements, he soon transformed himself into a wealthy businessman. Even his eyes became as shrewd as a businessman.

When the spies sent by the Southern King arrived at the alley, they saw only a pile of rags on the ground, and no sign of Li Wei.

In fact, he came to Huamanlou in a carriage. A melodious melody of the zither floated in the air, which was very different from the atmosphere of decadence and debauchery in the past. There was no one soliciting customers at the door.

Li Wei looked around and saw the girls dancing in light gauze, dressed in elegant clothes, their fingertips dancing on the strings, and their confident eyes flashing with unprecedented purity.

In the center of the stage, Han Ruxue danced gracefully in a light blue dress, as stunning as a flower blooming in spring.

He found an empty seat and sat down, then asked the young man in plain clothes beside him softly: "My dear brother, I have just arrived and there is one thing I don't understand. I have heard that Hua Man Lou is a place of entertainment, why has it become so pure and refined now?"

The commoner smiled slightly, his eyes full of admiration: "Brother, you don't know, all this is due to the kindness of Princess Bei. Many bosses have changed their ways because of this."

In the crowd, an old man in a green shirt stroked his beard and sighed, "Princess, you are truly a woman who is as good as any man! In the past, bandits were rampant and the people of Huaxi County suffered terribly. I heard that the princess raided the bandit's nest while pregnant. It really makes people sigh that there are such extraordinary women in the world."

After hearing the old man's words, there was a sigh of relief all around, as if that heroic scene was happening right before their eyes, and everyone's heart was filled with endless respect and admiration for the princess.

"As far as I know, the Marquis who took over Beiling is a good official. Why did he resign and return to his hometown?"

When the people standing next to Li Wei heard this, their expressions became even more solemn, as if they were recalling the unbearable past.

A middle-aged man lowered his voice and said indignantly: "The son of the county marquis relied on his father's influence to bully the people in the village. He actually attacked innocent children for his own selfish desires. He is really heartless."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and it seemed that even the air was filled with an atmosphere of grief and anger.

The young man next to the man clenched his fists and said: "The girl was only a few years old, but she was killed by a murderous hand..."

At this point, he choked with sympathy.

Li Wei stroked the edge of the table, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

The old man's eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "The princess redressed the injustice of the people and punished the murderer. It's a pity for the county marquis to have to send off his son. It's a tragedy after all."

After hearing the princess's deeds, Li Wei didn't want to investigate further. He walked out of Hua Manlou with a heavy heart and sat down in front of a fortune-telling stall on the street.

He picked up the brush on the table, touched the tip of the brush lightly to the ink cup, slowly soaking it, and then spread it on the letter paper. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, telling of the princess's bravery and innocence.

Li Wei carefully folded the letter paper with the ink still wet and gently stuffed it into the envelope to ensure that the letter was sealed securely.

He then found a dozen reliable messengers in the city, handed the envelope to each of them with a solemn look, and whispered, "This letter is extremely important. It must be delivered to Deputy General Liu in Longyang City. No word of it can be leaked."

The messengers could sense the weight of the client's tone, and they all hid the envelopes close to their bodies to show their importance.

The messengers hurriedly disappeared around the corner of the street. Du Wenxuan, dressed in a green shirt, suddenly appeared in the alley and quietly approached Li Wei.

He pursed his lips and smiled, and that smile looked particularly eerie under the winter sun, as if it could see into the deepest fears in people's hearts.

The folding fan flipped like a butterfly in his hand. A cold light flashed on the edge of the fan bone. Almost in the blink of an eye, it turned into a deadly weapon and silently cut Li Wei's throat.

Blood instantly oozed out of Li Wei's wound, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, his expression full of shock. As a first-class spy, he died on the spot before he could come to his senses.

The air around seemed to freeze; even the wind held its breath, unwilling to disturb the sudden silence.

When the Southern King's spies arrived at the alley, they were all shocked. One of them tore off the fake face and confirmed that the man was Li Wei, and they all went on alert.

Another spy touched his breath with his finger and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This man who was extremely smart and a master of disguise has now become a cold corpse.

Several other spies felt sorry for him. During their pursuit, they had lost Li Wei several times. He did not leave any trace along the way, but instead died mysteriously.
