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

With a try-it attitude, Lu Yun proposed her idea of returning to the hot spring villa. Emperor Longqing agreed without hesitation and gave her two guards. Lu Yun called them Black-faced Ajia and White-faced Ayi.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Yun silently looked at the guard brother sitting upright opposite her, and made a very sincere wish - I hope we can become each other's passers-by.

When the carriage passed Zhuque Street, it was stopped by someone.

Lu Yun lifted the car curtain and found that it was Bai Xiaolou.

Bai Xiaolou was reluctantly stopped by a lady in gorgeous clothes. Lu Yun did not recognize this lady but she recognized the lantern with the word "Zhao" hanging on the carriage behind her.

Bai Xiaolou had a stubborn look on his face, almost crying, "Princess, save me!"

After all, he is still a teenager. Lu Yun sighed in his heart. Robbery is so disgraceful, madam.

Seeing the duck she had caught fly away, Cui's face was full of displeasure. "Please, my lady, spare me a moment to talk."

Lu Yun shook her head. "This Bai Xiaolou is an old friend of mine. Madam, please be kind and give me some face."

Before Cui could say anything, she was stopped by an old maid beside her, who persuaded her to get on the carriage.

The old nanny bowed hastily, "My lord, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my wife."

Lu Yun nodded and took the person into the carriage.

The narrow space was a bit crowded with four people. Lu Yun looked at this and that, and finally looked at Bai Xiaolou. "Mr. Bai, could you please go to the carriage at the back?"

Bai Xiaolou's clear eyes immediately welled up with tears. "I know that my status is low and I am not worthy of the princess. It is my blessing to be rescued by the princess today." After saying this, he was about to stand up.

Lu Yun sat there without moving. Bai Xiaolou, who was under the gaze of the two men, did not wait for any words to persuade her to stay. He suppressed his reluctance and got off the carriage with gritted teeth.

Ajia said in a muffled voice, "Princess, this person has ulterior motives." Ayi nodded in agreement.

Lu Yun raised her eyes and asked, "Do you think I look like that kind of person?"

The girl was dressed in a silk Taoist robe, with her long hair tied up on top of her head. The brightness of her facial features made her clear eyes look a little darker, making her look elegant, dignified and inviolable.

Ajia and Ayi both lowered their eyes.

Lu Yun rested one hand on the window sill and rubbed her brow wearily. "I don't think he has the appearance of a wicked person. He's just trying to escape his past and make a living, so he did it for the sake of convenience."

The carriage did not stop when passing by Xiyuan, but went straight out of the city.

Although she had just left, the scenery and people in front of her seemed strange and familiar. After listening to the manager's report, Lu Yun realized that a lot of things had happened in the manor during the time she was away.

For example, thieves frequently visited the warehouse in the backyard, and more than a dozen servants suddenly disappeared one night, including Liu Qing and several of his younger brothers.

For example, the study room she saw now had obviously been tampered with.

The steward asked her if she wanted to report it to the police. Lu Yun sighed and said, "No need. If they want to leave, let them go. There's nothing important in the study anyway, so it's not a big deal if they get lost."

The steward hesitated and said, "Princess, there is one more thing. The old Ding family who left earlier are back."

Lu Yun frowned and said, "Let them leave my village."

The old Ding family, disheveled and filthy, were thrown out the same way they had come in. Mr. Ding, wearing a long gown covered in patches, was shoved out of the manor house, stumbling.

Old Ding was about to pinch his waist and start cursing when his eyes met with a ferocious wolfhound half the height of a man. He instantly retracted his head and quickly left.

Old Ding had been sitting under a tree, a look of regret flashed across his face. He bent down, picked up the package on the ground, put it on his shoulder, and took the lead towards the mountain path.

Lu Yun made a special trip to Qingxin Temple, and found it exactly as it had been before. However, his disciples said that their master had left without saying a word.

Lu Yun walked to the tree where her master often meditated. From the ancient tree, thick as a man's arm, came the murmur of cicadas, high and low. A thick layer of dust covered the stone table, indicating that no one had sat there for some time. She walked around the tree and the room but found nothing unusual.

"Has anything strange happened in the temple recently?"

"To answer my junior uncle, there is indeed one strange thing. A few days ago, the boy on night watch said that there was a thief in the Taoist temple. I took people to search the temple and found that only the temple master's room was disturbed, but we didn't find anything missing." The Taoist priest in green looked at my junior uncle and smiled, "Uncle, do you think the temple master has any things-"

"No." Lu Yun shook her head slowly.

Lu Yun didn't believe that the master had left without saying a word. Could it be that the group had taken it away? But why did they do that? And where did the master go?

Lu Yun was walking alone on a mountain path. She spotted a patch of gray grass and slowed down, keeping an eye on her surroundings. After seven or eight steps, everything was still quiet, the only sound being the rustling of the grass in the mountain breeze. She raised her hand to brush away the messy hair from her forehead, then stopped and turned to walk back toward the grass.

After pushing aside the tangled and stacked thatch, it was found that the mountain path that had been opened by humans was now covered with a thick layer of leaves, and the branches and leaves of the overgrown weeds had almost taken over the entire path.

It seems that no one has walked here for a long time.

The man's figure appeared in front of her eyes again, and the dense pain wrapped around her heart. Lu Yun gently pressed her waist, and the wound seemed to ache slightly.

Lu Yun sniffed, it was all like a dream, just like an illusion, let the past be the past.

After returning to the manor, Lu Yun asked the steward to call everyone in. Facing the dozens of people standing in the hall, Lu Yun gestured to Caihe to call out their names.

"Anyone whose name is mentioned can come to me and collect their indentures. In addition, this princess will give you one ounce of silver as travel expenses."

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone in the hall began to whisper to each other, and many people secretly looked at the two boxes with suspicion.

Lu Yun nodded to the steward, and the boxes were opened. As the princess had said, the small box contained the indenture, and the larger one contained silver.

"This princess keeps her word, don't worry."

The steward hesitated for a moment and said worriedly, "Princess, why are you suddenly dismissing the servants?"

"Princess, we are not leaving!" "Yes, yes, we don't want to leave the village."

"My Lady Princess, please don't chase us away."

Someone started wiping tears. Lu Yun recognized it as the kitchen manager. Cai He also looked puzzled.

"Because..." Lu Yun looked at everyone and sighed, "I'm about to leave Kyoto. Unless something unexpected happens, I won't come back in my next life."

After saying that, Lu Yun returned to Bishuiyunju.

Cai He's eyes were red. "Master, everyone has left."

Lu Yun lay under the peddler's umbrella, closed her eyes and hummed.

"Sister, where are you going?"

Lu Yun opened her eyes and smiled a smile uglier than crying. "Nanyue has deployed its troops to the southwest. Your Majesty has ordered me to go there to marry a princess. The journey will be difficult and dangerous. You will stay in Kyoto."
