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

Dashou still had no expression on his face, only his curled fingers revealed his master's mood. "Sister, I'm not afraid. I'm with you."

Lu Yun said with difficulty, "But according to your grandmother's dying wishes, you can never in this life-" leave Kyoto.

Dashou lowered his eyes. "Sister, I can do it. As long as Emperor Longqing dies, I will be fine. Fifth brother will not care about these things."

Caihe was frightened by her words, but Lu Yun was fine, and even felt that what she said made some sense.

But there is still a problem here.

"Da Shou, you——"

Dashou interrupted in a low voice, "Sister, he only has one month left."

Lu Yun sighed inwardly. Didn't it mean that Emperor Longqing left just as she left Kyoto?

Dashou showed a faint smile and said, "Sister, go first. I will come soon."

Lu Yun, who understood her expression, began to reflect on her education of Dashou over the years. Why did she feel that the sapling had grown crooked?

On an ordinary afternoon, the fifth prince arrived.

Lu Yun deliberately led him around the manor for a long time. After kicking the debris on the road for who knows how many times, the Fifth Prince, who was sitting on a rock, finally couldn't help but ask, "Ning An, where are the servants in your manor?"

Lu Yun spread her hands and said, "No one will take care of them after I leave, so I sent them away."

The fifth prince understood immediately and hesitated for a moment, "I——"

"Okay!" Lu Yun took out the land deed from her arms without saying a word. "I entrust this farm to you, Your Highness."

Before the Fifth Prince could even show any guilt, the title deed was stuffed into his hands.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took out the document he had been hiding in his arms. "This is the marriage document that my father asked me to bring to you."

In July, beside a pond in the hot spring villa, which was littered with debris and had rugged rocks, Emperor Wende, known to later generations as the "Benevolent Lord", and the Princess of Nanyue had a historic exchange.

It is known in history as the "Meeting at Tanyuan".

Since the manor had changed hands, Lu Yun moved out that night. Before leaving, she took one last look at the two-story building behind her and waved at the air in front of it.

"Goodbye, my mountain, water and cloud residence."

The eyes of the people behind her were red. Cai He wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and tried to force a smile. "Master, let's go."

Halfway through the journey, she met Roujia and Lutan who came to pick her up.

Seeing Bai Xiaolou, Roujia became visibly nervous. "Don't you know?"

"I've been busy moving these days." Lu Yun waited for her to finish.

Roujia said mysteriously, "Xiyuan has been surrounded by soldiers for several days. Rumors are circulating that there are spies from South Vietnam inside."

Lu Yun looked at Bai Xiaolou's disappearing back, and after a moment's thought, she dispelled her doubts. "First, I don't have anything on me right now. Second, if he really is a spy, and he finally escaped from Kyoto, returning now would be a trap for him."

Roujia disagreed. "As long as he's from Xiyuan, he's always suspicious and prone to getting into trouble."

Lu Yun leaned lazily on the chair. "In half a month, I will go to South Vietnam to marry a princess. Now, even if I set the house on fire, no one will care."

Roujia choked for a moment before saying, "After all the twists and turns, Lu Xiaosan, you still have to leave. In my opinion, Cao State is better than Nanyue."

Lu Yun shook her head. Both of her lips were filled with passion. "Do we still need to categorize them by their status?" The master was right. "A girl destined to be born is an unlucky creature that only appears once in a century."

Roujia came over and asked, "Do you like Xiaowu more now?"

Lu Yun asked without hesitation, "What do you think of the Fifth Prince?"

Roujia rolled her eyes and said, "He's a good man."

"Me too."

Roujia rolled her eyes and said, "I'll go check over at Bai Xiaolou."

Lu Yun hummed, yawned slightly, and lay down on the bed to take a nap.

Unexpectedly, she actually fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that it was dark outside. Caihe was sitting quietly at the table doing needlework.

Seeing that her master had woken up, she carefully helped Lu Yun up and said, "Master, it's time to eat."

Just as Lu Yun picked up the bowl, she heard footsteps outside, and occasionally a few low cries. The sound was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that it was directed at her.

Cai He looked unhappy and walked out quickly. "Mr. Bai, my master is not available to see you right now."

Bai Xiaolou looked distressed. "Please let Miss Caihe know when the princess is free. I am at my wit's end."

Lu Yun, who had been standing at the door and listening quietly for a while, showed up and said, "Caihe, let him in."

Caihe reluctantly moved her steps back to stand beside her master, staring at the person standing in the hall with great vigilance, like a hen spreading her wings to protect her chicks.

Lu Yun smiled and coughed softly, "Mr. Bai, what difficulties have you encountered?"

Bai Xiaolou bowed deeply, his figure graceful, but when he looked up, his eyes were red. "Princess, I have a sister who is now trapped in the West Garden. She has been ill for many days and is on the verge of death. I would like to ask you to rescue her, and she sent someone to send this to me."

After saying that, he took out a jade green ring and placed it on the table. Lu Yun recognized at a glance that the ring in front of her was the one that Zhou Boli had on his hand.

Lu Yun gritted her teeth and asked, "What's the relationship between your sister and him?"

Bai Xiaolou had been observing the princess's expression the entire time. Seeing this, he said carefully, "This nobleman simply saw that my sister sang well and came to support her a few times. There's nothing else going on."

Lu Yun sneered, "A ring of this quality would fetch at least a hundred taels of silver on the market. He's quite generous."

Bai Xiaolou's heart sank slightly, but he continued, "This ring wasn't a reward from a distinguished guest. It was a thank you gift from him because he said my sister had done him a great favor."

After waiting for a moment, Bai Xiaolou raised his eyes cautiously, only to see the woman beside the table staring at the finger in a trance, with tears glistening in her eyes.

"The princess?"

Lu Yun was pulled back from her memories and realized that she had lost her composure. She pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "I already know. I will arrange for someone to rescue Bai Fengjiao."

After leaving the house, Bai Xiaolou realized belatedly that he had not mentioned his sister's name just now, so how did the princess know it.

"Mr. Bai."

Bai Xiaolou turned around and bowed, "Miss Caihe."

Cai He handed over the ring in her hand and said, "You left this behind."

Bai Xiaolou took the ring and apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot in my haste."

Cai He was a little nervous. "Mr. Bai, you have been in Kyoto recently. Have you ever met the owner of the ring?"

Seeing her expression, Bai Xiaolou decided to tell the truth, "Since this distinguished guest left a month ago, my sister and I haven't seen him again."

Cai He was extremely disappointed. Perhaps, alas, there was no perhaps. Prince Zhou was not the King of Nanyue, so how could anyone listen to him?

"Caihe."

Hearing her master calling her, Caihe hurriedly bowed to Master Bai and turned to leave.
