The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

The sound of pursuit could be heard faintly from behind. Lu Yun plunged into the alley and only found out at the end that it was a dead end!

In the darkness, the courtyard door opened a crack, and a hand quickly grabbed Lu Yun.

"Quick, let's see if there's anything here." The three guards quickly ran into the alley, raised their torches and shone it around. They found it was a dead end, and immediately turned around to search elsewhere.

Inside the courtyard, Lu Yun, whose mouth was covered by a handcuff, finally relaxed her tense nerves. Pulling his hand away, Lu Yun was about to say thank you when she realized she had no strength left and her head was dizzy.

When she woke up again, Lu Yun found herself lying in a luxurious and gorgeous bedroom with a strong sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance. A round package was placed on the table not far away, and the tea set that should have been on the round table was placed on the ground.

"Are you awake?" A cold voice came from my ear.

Lu Yun lay on the bed, rolling her eyes and looking sideways.

Zhou Boli was wearing a black robe with a round collar and gold weaving, a purple gold crown on his head, and a glossy, plump and transparent green ring on his hand. He stood with his arms crossed, looking at himself.

Lu Yun got up from the bed and said, "Although - but - thank you." Then she began to undress.

"What are you doing!" Zhou Boli shouted angrily, quickly leaning over and holding her hand.

When their hands touched, Lu Yun's face was full of confusion, and then she suddenly opened her clothes——

"You--" Zhou Boli quickly raised his hands to block his face and turned his face to the outside. "Put on your clothes quickly." A laugh came from his ears. Zhou Boli put down his hands and slowly turned his head. He saw Lu Yun sitting on the bed with her clothes wide open. Her eyes were shining and she was covering her mouth and laughing like a little monkey on the mountain.

She had a thin pink outer layer underneath her open nightgown.

Zhou Boli held his forehead and said, "I've prepared another set of clothes for you. Although the news of the burglary at the Prime Minister's Mansion last night hasn't been revealed yet, the city gates have been put under martial law this morning."

After saying this, he sat down on the edge of the bed, his expression serious. "Why did you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night? And what's in your package?"

Lu Yun suddenly lost interest. She opened the package and spread it on the bed. "Here, it's all here." Zhou Boli picked up the account book from among the gold, silver and jewelry on the bed. "Princess, I'll take this."

Lu Yun nodded nonchalantly, catching a glimpse of his back as he turned and left. Lu Yun slumped down on the bed, feeling like a clown.

A plain aqua blue Taoist robe hangs on the four-panel red lacquer screen with mother-of-pearl flowers and birds at the head of the bed, and a lotus crown of the same color with kingfisher feathers and pearls lies quietly on the dressing table piled with makeup boxes.

The door opened again. Lu Yun was still wearing the pink dress, her waist-length hair tied back loosely with a wooden hairpin. "Please, Master Zhou, send someone to Princess Roujia's residence to deliver a message, asking her to send someone to pick me up."

With a creak, the door closed behind him.

Zhou Boli: "Is the princess leaving now?"

Lu Yun glanced at him and said, "I don't have anything left to give you, or—" Lu Yun deliberately patted the package on the side and said, "Mr. Zhou, do you like this?"

After waiting for a while and not hearing his voice, Lu Yun turned her head and suddenly met a pair of deep eyes.

"Princess, stop making trouble."

"Okay." Lu Yun heard her own accelerated heartbeat and tried to remain calm. "I have to go."

The room returned to silence again. Lu Yun sniffed and said, "Master Sanqing, your disciple's cultivation is shallow and he is not very good at exploring people's hearts."

Until Roujia arrived, Lu Yun never saw him again.

Along the way, Roujia kept talking about how worried she was, and as she spoke, she stretched her face towards Lu Yun to show her two dark circles.

Lu Yun leaned lazily against the car wall. "Roujia, I miss home."

Roujia was puzzled. "Which one are you talking about?"

Lu Yun shook her head. "Nothing. Let's go back. I'm so hungry."

Roujia hugged her distressedly and said, "Look how hungry the child is. I will make you something delicious when we get home."

After eating and drinking, the two lay down on the bed.

"Roujia, can a man enter a woman's bedroom casually?"

"Of course not, unless this man is her husband or they are in a relationship." Roujia smiled ambiguously, extending a finger on each hand and pointing in the air.

Pressing her finger down, Lu Yun looked at her and said, "Roujia, take me to Xiyuan to play in the evening."

Roujia raised her head and looked at her with excitement in her eyes. "You want to go to the theater? But your Taoist uniform won't do. You need to change clothes."

Lu Yun was frightened by her gaze. "Your house probably doesn't have any ordinary clothes that I can wear. I can wear the maid's clothes."

"Yes!" Roujia immediately sat up, dancing with joy. "Yes, I'll ask Lu Tan to find it for you right away. Lu Tan!"

There were a few "dong dong dong" sounds, and Lu Yun looked at her running away barefoot in confusion.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Lu woke up from his coma and saw a circle of people surrounding the head of the bed.

"You—hiss!" Lu Xiang felt an unbearable pain in his neck and a dizzy feeling. The back of his neck was already bruised and purple, looking very scary. The timid women in the family were already crying out of fear.

"Why are you crying? Get out." Master Lu roared, and the room suddenly became empty.

Lu Xiang was helped to sit up, his face gloomy. "Tell me, what happened?" Master Lu recounted everything that happened last night. The more Lu Xiang listened, the uglier his face became. When he heard that the main courtyard had been robbed and the study had been turned upside down, a trace of anger finally appeared on his face. "Where are the things?"

Master Lu bent his waist almost to 90 degrees. "No—it's gone."

The Prime Minister's wife, Old Lady Ke, was trembling as she was helped in with a forehead band on her head. She howled three times with every step, "Old man, all my things are gone, all gone!"

From small items like the glass balls I used to wear as a child to large items like the red gold head ornaments that had just been delivered from Xiefang Pavilion, nothing was left, not to mention the silver bills, they were all gone.

Master Lu came over to support her and whispered to her, "It's just some jewelry. Your son will make it up to you later."

Mrs. Ke was even more heartbroken after hearing this. "No matter how much we patch it up, it's all our money. Old man, please say something. If you don't come up with a solution today, I won't live anymore!"

Lu Xiang had a headache. "I see. My son and I have something to discuss. You go back first."

The daughter-in-law also rushed over to persuade her, and the old lady was finally coaxed away.

The door closed again. Master Lu said anxiously, "Father, I have already reported it to the police. I only said that some gold and silver were lost."

Prime Minister Lu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Don't panic. These are just a few account books. If you really want to punish me, you'll have to find out. Besides, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are already a hindrance. As long as we can keep things even, no one will dare to touch me!"

Master Lu's eyes unconsciously looked at the back of his father's neck——

Lu Xiang was furious. "What are you looking at, you bastard!"

"Father, what do you think about what happened last night?" Master Lu asked carefully.

Prime Minister Lu frowned in thought, then slowly shook his head. "This matter is full of strange things, and I, your father, have no clue at the moment. However, your mother's jewelry is all marked with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Send people to keep an eye on the pawnshops and jewelry shops in and around the capital, so he won't reveal his true intentions."

"Yes, son, I'll do it right away."
